Most of "the boys" have return ed from thai r trips doifn the river, and report acres and acres of lumber in market. The household of Mr. John Knop, of Salmon Creek, was made happy by the arrival of a girl baby on Saturday evening last. The Jury list published last we contained some errors ; hence we giv it aoother insertion this week, revise and corrected. We publish this week an ordi nance y the city fathers which will doubtless interest our citizens to a great er or lea extent. The viewers of the Dew street to be laid out in this borough will take a view ot the situation aud report ac cordingly at next court. A postal card ieceived by his parents yesterday states that Mr. J. T. Dale has pulled up stakes in the oil country anJ gone to Fargo, D. T. Mr. A. II. Darrah, of Cobhani Pa., a former Tionesta resident, paid friends here a short visit lust Wednes day. Ha was accompanied by his pretty little daughter, Susie. The roads are geuerally very good leading out of towu ; but, up in the "big woods" tbey are just breaking up, aud in tho viciuity of our oil de velopments are reported very bad. Mr. J. L. Craig has moved bis family into the house near the depot on t'other side of the river. The house has just undergone substantial repairs, and is now a very comfortable dwell ing place. But little lumber is left io the creek. At Salmon Creek Arner has about 300,000 feet of boards, aud at Minister there ia some timber and a few thousand feet of boards. Several rafts are stuck along the creek. At the State Department a char ter has been grauted to the Sinnema hon'iDg & Sheffield Railroad Compa ny, for the construction of a'road from Bennett's branch between Cameron and Elk countiei to Sheffield, Warren county, a distance of sixty-five miles. The capital stock is $390,000. Dr. Chas. R. Earley, of Ridgway, is pres ident. On Monday last W. C. Wilson started for Salmon Creek with Pro thouotary Shawkey, who wa taking a load of goods to that place. When near Fred Lohmeyer'g place, on the Dutch Hill road the wagon gave a sudden lurch, throwing Mr. W. out and under the wagon, one of the wheels of which passed over his chest. He was conveyed to Mr. Lohmeyer's house and Dr. Cook of this place was sum mooed, who lound upon examination that tha left shoulder blade was frac- tuied, and he was otherwise severely bruised ; but the Doctor thought he was not injured internally, and that he would recover without further trouble. J. T. nilT.NNAN. Monday afternoon and Tuesday of this week were quite blustering. The air was filled with snow flakes, and altogether the atmosphere was decidedly Minnesota-like. Meantime tho bud, are ready to burst, the green grass is shooting up, swallows have ar rived, and vegetation will be about as fur along as usual in two weeks from now. The first number of the Bathgate Sentinel, with R. D. Hoskins as editor and publisher has reached us. It is very neatly printed and bears evidence of a nice patronage in the advertising line. Bathgate is a thriving young town in Dakota, about 100 miles north of Crookston, Minn. Rob can rest assured hat he has the good withes of all his Tionesta frieuds for success iu his new venture. Mr. Wm Hebenthal disposed of his house and lot in this place to Mr. J." II. Fonts, and yesterday departed with his family for Aberdeen, Dakota, wbero he will take up a claim and seek his fortune in the farming busi ness. If some of those gentle Dakota zephyrs don't embrace him and waft him back into the States, Billy will make a success of it in his new field, fur he has lots of pluck and energy. Numerous nocks of ducks have been flipping about ou the river above and below town for the past week; but they are no good, notwithstanding their nice, plump appearance ; they are too fishy ; they smell and tuste like raw fitfh, and n amount of parboiling will eradicate that raw fish taste. Nevertheless they make good targets and many ot them have turned up their toes on account of & vigorous enforcement of tho shot gun policy by some of our local Nimrods. As will be seen by our death no tices, Mrs. Vought passed from earth last evening. She had been gaining up till Sunday, when she was taken suddenly worse aud continued to grow weaker until half past eight last even ing when she sank into a quiet, peaceful slumber from which she never again awoke. She leaves a husband aud grown son, besides a very large cir cle of kind friends to mourn her logo. We join the community in its sympa thy with the bereaved ones in their great affliction. Io a few weeks hot weather will be upon us, when decayed vegetable matter allowed to remain and ferment in cellars is frequently the unexpected cause of typhoid fever and" other dis eases. Cabbage, turnips, beets and all green matter liable to rot, should be promptly removed. The potatoes should be examined and have their sprouts rubbed off. Sinks are aluo frequently liable to become foul, and should receive due attentiou. Care in these respects will often save a doctor's bill and prevent many an attack of serious illuess. Decoration day draws nigh and the time for preparation for a proper ob servance of the occosion is ai hand. We leara that Capt. George Stow Post of this place will take the matter in baud and will have a celebration that will do credit to that flourishing order, Adjutant Irwin informs us that Col. John S. McCalmont, of Franklin, has consented to be present aud deliver the Memorial address, aud that a full programme will be aunouueed in due season. The Post is fortunate in 6e curiug this celebrated orator for the occasion, aBd his presence will doubt less briug out a large attendance from the surrounding community. A Card. Ed. Republican : Please notice in your paper that about 18 months ago I bruised my great toe hy letting the slats of a bed fall ou it, of which it lost all feeling and dropped aud was powerless. I doctored with doctors of this place aud at last it got so paiuful I went to Dr. Davis, of Oil City. Was under his treatment, and think ha could have cured me but my health failed, and I then employed Dr. M. B. Cook, a new doctor of this place. I was iu a criti vai condition, wnen he took my case, and after be had treated it for two weeks I found I could move my toe as well as ever, (it bad not moved for eight months), aud at the expiration of three weeks my toe was well healed. and now looks natural. Should any one be afllicted as I have been I can recommend Dr. Cook, of Tiouesta, as I know from experience what he has done for me. Doluk Hood. Tioaesta, Pa., April 24, '82.

Republican : ' Have you ever had the pleasure of spending a few hours in Kellettville ? I think I bear you say "no", so I will give you a brief description of the village: It derived its name so I am told from the principal owner, Mr. Win. W. Kellett, of the Hemlock Ex tract Works, which are situated in the upper end of the place. It is quite youthful ; less than fourteen months ago there was butona dwelling house io the place, and (hat belonged to Lewis Amor, and was called at that time a shanty, but as it does not re semble in the least our idea of what constitutes a shanty, we Lave clashed it among the dwelling houses. The village now boasts of eight or nine dwelling houses, one good sized storei ine extract works ana omce, cue cooper shop, one blacksmith shop, one bariel shed, one bark shed and car penter shop, quite a number of large barns, &c. The Salmon Creek Lum bering Company pile their lumber on the bank of the Tiouesta creek at this place, their mill being located on Sal mon creek, one half mile from the mouth of the stream which enters Tio nesta creek just a few rods below Kel lettville. There was a large amount of lumber shipped from here on the last flood, and there temaius on the bank considerable lumber to be rafted and run the next flood. The ice gorge did considerable dam age to the place ; all the shade trees, fruit trees and shrubbery that were planted ou the different lots last sum mer were broken down or washed away ; the ice having all disappeared it is encouraging to notice with what euergy the citizens go to work and clear their lots of the drift and saw logs that were floated in here with the ice. If the weather continues favorble the village will present quite a differ ent appearance in a few days. There is talk of several houses being built here this summer; we hope so at any . rate, the more the better. We are very much iu need of i post office and hope to have one soon J. M. Kepler's well, situated on the Salmon creek branch' a few rods from the mouth of the stream, have A fish ing joo at present ;- we aid not 'earn the particulars nor to what depth they have reached. Mr. C. M. Shawkey of Tionesta, spent last Sabbath with his parents at Salmon creek mills. The coolness lhat occurred between the neighbors of this place the 4th of last February, hns gradually melted away, and the peoplo are happy once more. Can't you induce a number of the fair damsels of Tionesta to ?pend the coming Summer here in Kellettville. We boys get terrible lonely these beautiful moonlight evenings. Lewis Arner and a number of his men have returned from their trip to Pittsburgh. Some malicious person destroyed the skiff belonging to the Extract Co. Six months in the county jail ia w hat they need for the act. Mr. W.W. Kellett of Boston, Mass., ariived in towu Monday evening; he is a very welcome visitor bore. Chas. M.

They will undoubtedly be'dowu in threo weeks provided they have uo bad luck. The Wolcott well near Nebraska has evidently been abandoned for good, or more properly speaking, for bad. Nothiog new has been learned of the Walters farm well near Newman ville, and if they don't soon get oil there we'll begin to despair, as tbey must be down over 1700 feet by this time. BALLTOWN'. Tho following correspondence, right from the "seat of war," will give our readers a good idea of what is doing at Balltown : Balltown, Pa., April 23, 1883. This place is all excitement at pres ent, and as the wells keep coming in the interest in the various localities increases. The telegraph lines are kept buisy. Th8 Western Uniou Co. has opened an office at this place, and the United Pipe has an office at Brush Camp and Porkey Ruu pump stations, operated by the "line men," while the W. U. Telegraph Company keeps an operator at this place constantly. This week the grounds about Balltown were surveyed out into town lots of twenty five feet frontage by one hundred and twenty feet deep. They will be sold or leased very reasonable, and a flour ishing nil town may soon be seen here. The lands about the month of Porkey Run, on warrant 3194, are also staked out in town lots. Murphy tfc Co. have erected a sub stantial office at the above place, and Wm. Gibson has established a lumber yard al Porkey, on warrant 4821. There is also a large pump station here which pumps the nil produced here to Kane. Murphy & Co. ate drilling one well and one rig building on 3194, near their No. 1, producing at present about 400 barrels per day. The Balltown Oil Company are drilling a well on Porkey Ruu about 40 rods west of the Murphy No. h and building a rig 35 rods northeast of their drilling well. The last two are on warrant No. 479'J. The Por cupine well No. 1 is a moderate pro ducer. Welsh & Co. are ready to start the drill ou the north end of 4821, and are also building a rig ou the north east end of 5235, about 40 rod south east of their producer, which is doing about 125'barrels. Grandin, Kelly & Co. will complete their No. 7 on 5236 to-day or to-morrow. This is au important well. It is located about 140 rods southwest of No. 3, kuown as the Grandiu gusher, and is the farthest south of all the wells drilled by that company aud may be looked upon as a sort of a venture. Murphy & Galey drilled a well ou what they supposed was warraut3133, but the survey of the Balltown lands lately made cut the well off 3133 onto 4821 by about 25 to 30 feet. The well is doing about 130 barrels per day. What the outcome will be is cot as yet known. It will robably be a vexatious lawsuit, and is a parallel c&se to the Patterson well on warrent 2735 in the Cooper district where, a well was drilled ou an other lease. The case is easily explained : The surveyors employed by Murphy & Co., paid uo attention to orgioal survey but went on the strength of their own abilities and got 'Cooperud' rs the com mon expression is hereabouts, and as the original surveys coutrol in all cases where the original work is found ou the ground, Murphy it Galey will pro bably lose their title to the well. D. W. Claik is drilliug a well on warrant 4792. The warrant is claimed by the Balltown company and anoth er lawsuit will probably be the out come. The lialltowu House with Peter Berry as "mine host" is crowded with guest. Ira Murphy is tunning a boarding house at Porkey Run and is crowded all the time. Johu Drumgould has started u whiskey shop, aud Johu Mahouey has a whibkey boat in Tionesta Creek nt the mouth of porkey Ruu. Mr. J. F. Proper of your tow u has tho agency for the sale of Ue town lots iu Bulhown. Anon. Yesterday's Derrick has this : "D. W.Clark's well, near the south line of 4,792, struck the sand this morning, i and wus shut down and ;i plug put in. ' Thoy hd some gas aa.j alight show- Jng of oil..'', Asido from thia nothing U Icnuvyn concerning the well, except by the owner and tho?o interested in it, fttid: they won't tell at present. Mr. Clark aud tho contractor left the well this forenoon, and it is apparently shut down for some time. The Clark well is located ou a forty-five degree line, from a point midway botween , the Granuin Nos. 3 and 6. It i 203 rods west of the Porcupine Oil Company's well, and thirty-one rods north of the sauth line of tract 4,792. It is also sixty five rods east of Galey Bros.' dry hole on 3.142. The latter well got no sand, nor showing of oil norgas. The Welsh well is locatod almost directly between the Grandin No. 6 . and the Clark, and is 205 rods south of the latter. It is impossible to make any estimate of the well. Il has not mads a flow, aud the showing of oil is no sign of either a good ur a " poor well. The Balltown wells, as a rule, flow soon after the sand is struck, even the small oues make a largo showing. Ou the Clark deriick there are no signs of oil aod no evidence that it will make a producing well. The contractor say it was plugged. One of the scouts says it filled up ten feet with oil, and will make a pay iug producer. The reports that it was showing for a large well came wholly from BradionL" The Murphy well at Balltown is said to be making eighty-three barrels and the Welsh well one hundred and thirty. Porcupine Oil Co.'a well has been holding up steadily for tho past few days between 320 and 340 barrels. An Ordinance.
