In "a suggestion to the Republi cans of the 25th disttrict," published n a recent issno of the Clarion Rrpvb- lican- Gazette, the name of Hon. Jas. T. Maffett, one of Clarion's leading awyer's, is brought out as a candidate for Congress next year. Should the nomination fall on Mr. Maffett the Republicans of the district would un doubtedly have a strong candidate, and one whom all could consistently support. He was one of the I resi dential Electors in 1880. But it's a leng way off yet, and wur county may not be part of tbe 25th district in the next election. Scattering Notes. NEILLTOWN.

Let our friends be careful how they turn the cold shoulder to the tramp. In the early part of the past winter tramp, after vainly seeking for shelter, came to the house of C. C. Smith at Brooksten, where he found food and shelter. He went away on the follow ing morning and Mr. Smith forgot seon all about the circumstance. Oa Chtismas eve a man carrying a large package on his shoulder called at Mr. Smith's house. It was tbe aforetime tramp, and the package he carried was a big turkey, a presentor Mr. S, in remembrance ef the kindness shown him ptevieusly. He had been hunt ing work and had run out of money when he stopped at Mr. S.'s as a tramp, but had been more fortunate after wards. Fidius.

'v George Sibbald Takes his Life. j Perhaps no accurrence has taken place in this section for years that has so shocked and horrified theVcemmu nity as the strange and altogether in explicable suicide of George Sibbald. About three months ago be rented his farm, situated oa the banks of the Allegheny river, three miles above Tionesta, together with all his stock, horses, agricultural implements, &c, to James II. Butler, a near neighbor ; n fact, he simply stepped out and ask ed Mr. B. to take charge of every thing, and stating that he felt ae though he needed rest and recreation and was going to take it. This ar rangement was consummated ot War ren, Pa., whither Mr. Sibbald had gone to consult with Dr. Curwin, the psysician ia charge of the Insane Hos pital, in regard to bis health and gen eral condition. Mr. Butler took charge of the place, moving his family into the bouse. In the course of a week or two Mr. Sibbald returned to his place and remained there, working when he felt so inclined, aad seeming as a general rule to be cheerful, although at times perhaps a ittle discontented, yet not enough so to give rise to the least suspicion that anything was wrong with his meatal faculties. On Tuesday morning of last week, June 19th, he came down etairs after most of family had been up, and while Mr. Butler was washing at the foun tain near the kitchen door George came out, and after the usual morning calutation, remarked that it looked as though the day would be a fair one. He then started for the barn, and meeting the boy who is making his heme with Mr. Butler, cad who was whistling, he said, "you seem te be happy as usual this morning," and passed on into tbe barn. In a few moments he was seen to come out of the barn and walk up toward the road This was the last seen of him until found dead. Nothing strange was thought of his absence for an hour or two, as it had been his custom to take a stroll ia about the same direction as he was sees to go, nearly every morn mc beiore breakfast. When nine o'clock and after arrived, however and he failed to return, the family became somewhat anxious, but finding that his fishing pole was Dot ia its accustomed place, and knowing that he had talked the evening before of taking a fish in the morning, they sup posed he had returned to the house unnoticed, taken his rod and gone fishing. Upon searching the premises more thoroughly, however, the rod was found ; also in his room was found his pocket book and soma other arti cle which be had evidently taken from his pockets that morning, and it was then that they began to feel uneasy, and Mr. Butler went to the woods to look for him. Not being able to discover him, he gave the alarm and soon a general search was instituted which lasted until Thursday morning about ten o'clock, some twenty men being engaged in it, when S. J. Wolcott discovered the body near a spring on the top of ene of tbe high hills overlooking the farm. It seems he followed a small stream that conies in at his house, up about a quarter of a mile, then took across tbe hill to his right following the brow of the bill about a quarter of a mile, but iu reality makiDg the distance from his house only about one-fourth of a mile. It is supposed he took this round-about way to elude pursuit and baffie his friends. As soon &s his body was discovered Coroner Church was notified, who impaneled a jury and re paired to the spot, where everything connected with the strange affair was cleeely scrutinized. When discovered he was lyiag on his back. For several feet around were blotches of Paris green, and some in his beard, besides different places where he had vomited up the deadly poison, aud from appearances he must have taken a large quantity, evidently in its dry state, and washed it down with water, and judging from the way the ground was torn up under and near him he must have struggltd a great deal and died in terrible agony. Other evidences showed almost conclu sively that he lived several hours after taking the poison. After his body had been removed to the house, the jury fiaibhed its work, returaing a verdict ia accordance witb the facts given above. It was afterward found wuere he had taken the Paris greeu from a pan over-head in an old tool house oa the premises, he having spilled some onjlae floor. This building he had been seen to enter on his way to the bara the morning of his disappearance. Many years age he left this section and was goDe nearly seven years, not even his most intimate friends or nearest relatives knowing his wherea bouts, and he was given up for dead. During that period be was a frequent visitor to his old home and birth-place, but always unbeknown to .those who occupied the farm'. When he re-ap peared in this section and 'madex,Vim-. self known he purchased the old homestead and commeic'ed making improvements, until he hud as fine and productive a farm as this vicinity affords. His premises always looked neat and tasty, and when his friends came to visit him they always met with a warm walenma nd rinsoi talitT was shown them on every hand. That he never married was a peculiarity which ne one could account for, yet nothing very strange was thodght of it. His business was conducted with scrupulous care, and he was univer sally esteemed for his honest, frank. manhood. This community never possessed a better citizen than he al ways showed himself to be. What caused George Sibbald to take this terrible step no human miad seems able to conjecture. Possessed of all the comforts of this world's goods, with a large, farm under a splendid state of cultivation, supposed to have several thousand dollars in : bank, .

The funeral took place, on Sunday last, being attended by his two broth ers and three sisters, besides a very large concourse of the citizens of this vicinity. His remains were interred in Riverside Cemetery. He was 44 years of age. OIL NOTES. Latest reports from Balltown state that the Porcupine No, 6 is making five barrels an hour, while Balltown No. 7 is flowicg at tbe rate of 100 barrels per day. The latter well is not yet completed, it having barely touched the sand. It will doubtless make a big well when farther into tbe rock. Fishing ia still going en at tbe Tubbs Run well, and we are told the tools will finally be extracted, but how soou is a question of tho future. Kepler & Dufur's Salmon creek venture has not yet been "unmysti fled." Messrs. Strong & Co. are drilling several wildcat wells in Pinegrove township, Venango county, two and a half miles west of the Forest county line, two el which are completed. Large quantities of gas are found and in one ef tho wells a small showing of oil. The gas will be transported in pipes to Oil City and Franklin, where it will be used for lighting au heating purposes. But what the oil outcome will be we cannot yet say. A Dangerous Counterfeit : There are dangerous counterfeits in circulation purporting te be "Walnut Leaf Hair Restorer." The strongest evidence of its great value is the fact that parties knowing its great efficacy try to imitate it. Each bottle of the genuine has a Jae timile of a, walnut leaf -blown iu the glass ; and a Greeu Leaf on the outside wrapper. The "Restorer" is as harmless as wator, while it possesses all the properties Bticcs.ary to restore life vigor, growth and color to the hair. Purchase only from responsible partius. Ask your druggist for it. Each bottle warranted. Johnston, Holi.oway & Co., Phila delphia, and Hai.l & Kuckix, New York, wholesale. agents..
