The family that isn't on the move nowa day is all out of fashion. Now bate your book for the speckled beauties. They're ripe. Mr. II. II. Stow, of Bradford, paid Tionesta a business visit last week. Oil Market closed last night at 953c, and opened this morning ut 95Zo. Last Sunday was "fool's day," however all the fools sittvived it, we guess. Ex SncritT Brace made onr sanc tum a pleasant visit last Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Samuel Robinson, of Mercer, Pa., paid his brother, G. W.t a visit during last week. Walt. D. Adams, for the past winter clerk in J. O. Strong's hard ware store, Tidioute, spent Sunday in town with his parents. The Oil City Blizzard suggests that if Guitrau's skeleton is not otherwise engaged, it should be placed in Dukes' sett in the Legislature. lion. J. B. Agnew arrived from Iltrrisburg Monday evening, accom panied by his bod Mac. who has been attending school at that placo during the winter. Miss Mary Sloan arrived yester day afternoon from Allegheny City, and will remain a guest of Mrs. Van Gieson until the family arrives and take up their residence among us. Oh, for a rafting flood. Some of our lombernieu are really getting un easy last they thould not get their wares to market, and it does begia to look that way, but we live in hopes. Williamsport lias been selected as the place for holding the next an nual convention of the Pennsylvania State teachers association. The meet ing will begin July 10th and continue until the 12th. Mr. J. B. Legoard, of Chicago, whb a guest at the May mansion during the week. He returned on Monday accompanied by his daughter, Bertha, who has beeu visitiug here during the winter. Judge Reck is enlarging his meat market by an addition to the rear end. lie is having built a large refrigertor, the cost, of which will be $150, and which will keep meat cold and fresh all summer if needs be. The legal age when boys are al lowed to use tobacco has been fixed by the Legislature, or will be if the bill before it becomes a law. It prevides that tobacco and cigars shall not be sold to boys under 16 years of age. The election of officers of the Prtsbyteriaa Sunday School for the ensuing year was held last Sunday and resulted as follows : Rupt., A. B. Kelly ; Assist. Supt., Chan. Bonner ; Treas., G. W. Robinson; Secretary, C. D. W. Baker. Mr. Benjamea May, of Norris town, Pa., paid Tioresta a visit during the week, and had the pleasure of meeting many of bis old friends. We are pleased to state that Mr. May's health is much better than when he last visited Tionesta. Removals: Lawyer Ritchey has vacated the Sloan house and will oc cupy Charlie Bonner's house for a couple of months, until he can secure a permanent place of residence. Rev. llickliog now occupies hia sewly purchased property, while Squire Bren nan, of whom he purchased the same, occupies rooms in Mrs. Partridge's building. Will Klioestiver has com menced house keeping in Mr. Law rence's bouse across the cretk. J. T. imENNAS, The bill taking off tho month of December from the deer killing season has passed the House and will now go to the Senate, where it will no doubt be passed without any difficulty. Mr. Brown, the veteran fisherman, of Trunkey villa was in town Monday looking more hale and hearty than we have seen him for years, and we wouldn't be surprised but he'd live yet to see the last sucker in the grand old Allegheny give up the ghost. A very handsomely printed pamphlet, profusely illustrated with elegant cuts, discriptive of St. Clair Mineral Springs, Michigan, has reacheJ us. A copy of this really fine pamphlet can be had by addressing tho St. Clair Mineral Springs Co., as above. Any deficiencies or short comings that may be noticable in this issue of the Republican may be blamed on that boy which arrived at our house last Friday evening. Yes sir; its a boy ! and be has already asserted his su premacy, and dout you forget it he rules the roost. The Venaogo Speetetor has the temerity to suggest that "in these days of renewed moral and sumptuary efforts it might be advisable for the legislature to consider the project of a law making it a penal offense for a tailor who put a pistol pocket in any body's trowsers." The Tionesta postmastership is about settled, Mi. Calvin M. Arner having received the documents advis ing hitn of his appointment to the posi tion. Mr. Arner has forwarded his bond to the department for approval and we presume as soon as he receives his commission will take charge of the office Souio of the river roads which have been impassable most of the winter on account of the ice, are again becoming passable, but need a little attention from the proper authorities until the regular time comes for working en the roads. "A stitch in time sa-es nine" is an old adage that applies admirably to this case. Mr. M. L. Vougbt, obeying the summons of a telagram to come home, arrived in town from Carman, Minn., on Saturday' last, meeting with a hearty welcome among his many friends. Luther reports the Tionesta boys in that sectiou iu good health and spirits, and seems much taken with the "land of blizzards and No. 1 hard." Mrs. Yought has improved very much sioco Luther's return. The New Bethlehem Vindicator changed hands, recently Mr. J. J. Shick, being the 09W proprietor. The retiring editor Mr. J. F. Dale, frankly confessed that he was not equal to the task, and said he was thoroughly cured of the belief that anybody could edit a paper success fully. An honest confession is good for the soul, they say, and we hope this may be the case with Mr. l3., while Mr. Shick who is a practical printer, has our best wishes for abun dant success. The editor of the Clarion 'jack eonian bus made the following discov ery : It will be seen by reference to the census statistics given elsewhere that the aggregate valuation of farms iu this county is put at $10,375,428, while the assessed valuation of all real estate in the county farms, houses aud lots, out-lots, and every thing assessable iu the line of real es tateis only $3,128,201. What a vast difference it evidently makes to the av erage tax-payer whether it is an assess or or a census enumerator who asks bow much his real estate is worth. The Clarion correspondent of the Derrick writes the following under date of April 2, which will prove a sad surprise to the frieuds of the subject of the item: Patrick Graham, ex-Treasurer of this county, aud a member of the lumber firm of Buzzard, Ritls & Co., while walking along the street here to-day was suddenly stricken down with paralysis. He fell to the pavement and was tukeu up and car ried to the Jones House, where be still remains, beiug aoabla to be takeo home. His left side is paralyzed. No man in Clarion County has more friends, and he is one of the most suc cessful business meu of the place. He was in good health apparently at the time. NOTICE. Having disposed of tuy entire stock of furniture, I repeotfully request all having accounts with me to call ud settle at once. A. II. Ule. TioDesU , April 4, 183, - Capt. Knox, has sold his mill property at the mouth of Tionesta creek to Mesirs. Robinson & Bonner, who expect, if the increasing business of the town demands it, to remodel the same and start a sash and door factory, and if they don't do this they will at least get out and keep in stock a good supply of dressed lumber, so that builders will not be put to the trouble of sending away for anything of the kind. Just why a first class sash and door factory would not be a paying institution im Tionesta, where lumber of all kinds is easily had, is a thing we cannot understand, and we are not willing to admit, by any means, that it would not bo. We hope to see it booming before the summer is very far advanced. There's money in it, and the owners would not have to de pend entirely on this place for their customers. Council Minutes. Council met on Monday evening. Present, the Burgess and all members of the Council. It was moved and carried that the property owners on Elm St., from the Tietsworth proper ty to the Tionesta House property be notified to commence building side walks on the east side of the street within ten days. Also along Hilands St., from Mr. Swailes' to Vine St. Al so on Vine St., from Judge Dale's property to the head of WalnutSt., on the east side of the street. Also from the upper corner of Mr. Tate's lot on Elm St., to the Cemetery. Besides these many others will be notified to build new walks instead of the old and dilapidated affairs that now adorns (?) their properties. Petitions signed by the citizens of Tionesta borough for and against the opening of a street from the east end of Hunter's bridge to Juliette St., crossing Elm St., just above Lawyer Tate's office. The petition for the street received the favor of the council, und a petition to the court was signed by the Burgess and all the councilmen praying the court to appoint viewers and have said street opened. The street running from Elm St., to the river, past Riverside Cemetery was named Riverside Straet. After passing upon a few other matters of minor importance the coun cil adjourned to the first Monday in May. Here and There. A ferry is being put up at Trunkey ville by Mr. Davison, who owns a timber lot aod mill on Queen. He will ship his lumber by rail from Trunkeyville. Surely a shadow of the old time business glory seems about to be cast over Judge Trunkey's namesake. Miss Jennie Hoge has completed her term of school at Little Hickory and has gone home to Venango Co She will return and teach the summer term at the same place after awhile. T. D. Collins is engaged in remov ing the machinery from his mill at Beaver Valley to Nebraska. During last summer the low water interfered somewhat with (he running of the mill, we are informed. Mr. Collins will obviate any recurrence of a similar hindrance to the running of his mill from such a source by putting in steam power this spring or summer. We understand he contemplates the establishment of a box factory at Ne braska in connection with his milling industries there. Tbo boxes will bo made all ready to put together, packed and shipped to Pittsburgh where they will be 6et up. Mr. Col lins has bought the timber tract owned by Mr. Sheasiey, and consequently the mill in contemplation in that cornel will not be builded. Henry Riser's house on Kiter's Corners bad a narrow escape from burniug Thursday last. The soot in the flue caught fire and the burning soot fell on the roof seltiug it on fire. Fortunately the fire was discovered in lime to prevent serious harm. The examination at East Hickory was a very quiet affair. Seven appli cants were prsent, and one visitor. April 5, 1883.

There is nothing 'specially new. to report this week in the mattef-of new . developments. In fact the 'Murphy well at Balltown is about the only one that has caused auy excitement to the trade, and it is undoubtedly a good one. Monday's Derrick contains the following regarding late operations io and about BAWLLT0W5. "Murphy's well at Balltown is nearly as much ef a mystery as ever. The owners seem anxious to have the trade know that it is declining rapidly. Nearly all the information obtained comes from the owners, the scouts be ing guarded and uncertain in their messages. Some of the scouts say they think the well has been drilled deeper witbout improving it. If this proves to be true there is very little to fear from this latest addition to the produc ing? fields. By our correspondent's telegram it was doing 400 barrels Saturday. Other messages put it as 150 barrels, and there were rumors that it had stopped flowing entirely. There is only one thiBg on which all seem to agree, that the well is flowiug by heads. The Anchor Oil Com pany made the purchase of an interest in this well aad the adjoining proper ty on Friday. Nothing further has been heard from the Hancock & Ken nedy well, and it is generally believed to be wholly dry. Harry Dufur is staiting a well on tract 5,268, Forest County. Its location is southwest of Balltown. Welch & Co.'s well an tract 5,236 is expected to reach the sand to day. Its location is a little northeast of Grandin gusher. It would give a surprse to the trade if it should fail to get oil, as it is generally ex pected to be a good well." There is nothing late from the Searls well, on the Walters farm, near the Clarion county line, except that it is still gassing veiy strong, and is thought to be down nearly, if not quite 1000 feet. It is needless to say that it is a mystery ; even the walking-beam being boarded up. Tho Wolcott well, near Nebraska, has evideutly been abauded, as we hear nothing from it any more.

We take pleasure in announcing that we have perfected arrangements with the publishers of the American Farmer that enable us to club that magazine with the Forest Republi can at the low price of 81.75 per year, a trifle over the price of the Refubli can alone. This is beyond question the first time that a reliable agricul tural paper has been offered at so cheap a price, and we trust all our subscribers will avail themselves of this unusual opportunity of securing a first class agricultural magazine.
