Two unsigned communications are consigued to the waste basket this week. v The new residences now building in this place are making gued pro gress. Oil Market cjeed last sight at $1,101. Opened this morning at $1.08. Rev. Hickling is having several valuable improvement made about his prvmises. Mrs. Judge Reck is now in Alli ance Ohio, paying her daughter, Mrs. Gaskill, a visit.' D. W. Clark is in Tennessee on a business trip, expecting to be gone three or four weeks. j Bark-peeling is at an tnd fur this season, and the boys are leaving the woods io large squads. Mrs. Hickling is visiting the home of her parents at Wayoesburg, l'a., expecting to remain about a month. The Forent House in the Dorth ward, is receiving a coat of paint which will materially help the appearance thereof. Selden Whitman says, "tell the people that blackberries will be ripe in one week, and that my patch is free to all." Mrs. Seawagon and Miss Matia Heibel of Warren, are being enter tained at the residence of the broth er Ed. Heibel. ' A young lady arrival is reported at Mr. P. Agnew's domicile across the creek, yesterday. Mother and daughter doiDg fine. The river is"dead low'' compared with what it has been all 6aiuuier, and yet there is water enough to run a good-sized "skipper." Mrs. Rev. Elliot, of Sugar Grove, Pa., accompanied by her little son, Sammy, is paying her many Tionesta friends a visit thia week. Mrs. D. A. Wood, daughter of J. G. Carpenter, formerly of Newtown Mills, died on the first of August, at her home at Clarendon, K. Y. From pvery quarter comes the discouraging report that potatoes are rottiag rapidly, and the fear is that they will be scarce and high this win ter. Ex-Sheriff Brace and wife from Braceville, Forest Co., arrived in town Wednesday eveving stopping with Ex-Sheriff S. V. Davis. War ren Ledger. Harry Mabie of Erie, rejoices over the arrival at his bouse ef a fine boy on the 3d iost. Congratulations and best wishes from all your old frieuds here, Harry. We have had nearly three weeks of continues dry weather. What can the matter be? It has let the farmers out in great shape all the same, over which they feel duly elated. News comes down from Salmou Creek that Prothonotary Shawkey is the father of a bouncing new boy. Well, we generally smoke on such oc casions;, dont forget it, friend S. Moses Pierson, well known to the older inhabitants of this community as a former resident of Holeman Flats, died suddenly at his home in VinelandN. J., on the 3d of this month. J. T. RRENNAN. Charles Congdon of the Central House, is paying bis annual visit to his old home near Niagara Falls. He will doubtless fill op with peaches as is his usual custom when he goes home. The U. S. Government land sale, which has been advertised in our columns for the past three month?, takes place at the Court House to-day. These lands are valuable and some one will doubtless get a bargain. Henry Shoemaker, one of the brave boys in blue, who trains with the Oil City Greys, is now doing duty at the annual encampment of the N. G. P. at Conaeant Lake. Hen makes a good looking "sojer boy." Mr. J. A. Hart has moved his household goods to Nebraska, Pa., where he has taken a contract of man ufacturing lath and shingles in T. D. Collins mill. T. F. Ritchey Esq., has moved to the Henage bouse just vacated by the former gentleman. Our sympathies are with Bro. Haydea ef the Democrat, whose wife has been lying ill at her mother's hjme in Barnett township for several weeks. We are sorry to state that she was no better at last accounts, but hope soon to bear of a change for the better. Artist Corpenter is better pre pared than ever to please his old cus tomers, having added the dry-plate process to his already perfect facili ties for taking pictures. He has dis carded all assistants and will look after the wants of bis patron personally herafter. Give him a call. The W. C. T. U. of this place will held an ice cream festival on Tuesday evening next, in the building formerly occupied by M. Einstein's store. A general invitation is extended, and the ladies io charge promise all who attend their money's worth. Remember the time, Tuesday evening, Aug. 21. If the party who sent us the mar riage notice on a postal card will please drop us another giving the name of the sender, we will take pleasure in pub lishing the notice aforesaid. Marriage notices, above all othors, should be genuine, and how are we to know them to be so unless we have the author's name. J. T. Brennan Esq., will depart next Saturday to be absent about ten days, during which time he will pay his wife and little daughter a visit at Clifton Springs, N. Y. Should any one have business to transact with him they are directed to call on Mr. C. M. Shawkey, who will attendto it promptly. The M. E, Sunday School con cert at the cbnrch last Sabbath even ing was well attended aud pronunced by all who were there a success. The siuging was most excellent, and the rehearsals by some of the smaller scholars were very creditable. The audience went away highly 'pleased with the evening's entertainment. Mrs. Catharine, wife of Nicholas Sandrock, residing near Lickingville, committed suicide on the 3d lost, by hanging herself to a rafter in the loft of the house, during the absence of the remainder of the family. She used a bed cord. Temporary insanity is sup posed to have been the cause. She was about 54 years of age. Very few people know that a let ter mailed in a hotel envelope which fails to reach the persoa addressed is sent at once to the dead letter office notwithstanding tho 10 day's return notice on the corner. If you stop at a hotel aad usa one of their envelopes always mark out the name aud inset t your own if you want your letter again if it fails to reach the perbon address ed. Attention is directed to the special order isaued by Capt. Stew Post, rel- alive to making arrangements ior me reunion of the 831 regiment to be held here on the 18th of Sept. The time" is drawing near and tho matter of proper preparation should not be overlooked, as our town will have a good many people to entertain on tLiit day, and we feel sure the citizens will take pride in showing their cus tomary hospitality to the brave boys.

He takes with him his mother whom he has taken care of or several years past. Mr. Range is an industrious, steady-going man, aid in his departure our county loses a good citilen who bears with him the good wishes of all his old neighbors. His post office ad dress will be Postviile, Alamakee Co. Iowa. Postmaster General GreBham knows a thing or two. He issued an order awhife ago forbidding postmas ters leaving their business without his consent. He thinks when a man holds an office he should discharge its du ties. Later he issues another order forbidding postal clerks from reading other people's papers. Won't that be a little rough on the average country postmaster who don't take his county paper ? What will he do now ? War ren Mail. The base ballists who went to Pleasantville last Saturday to play with a nine of that place got badly scooped, the score standing 24 to 9 in favor of the "other fellows." The game was virtually lost on the second inning, when our boys allowed their opponents to score 13 runs. After that the playing was about equal on both sides. The boys from here claim that the Pleasantvillians run iu some foreign players oa them, heuce their severe defeat. A return game was arranged to take place hero a week fromtnext Saturday. Charles II. Stephens, a promi cent Philadelphia artist, arrived in town last week to prepare the illus trations for an article dealing with the picturesque features of rafting on the Allegheny river, now being written by William Willard Howard, of the editorial staff of the Philadelphia Times. The article will be the lead ing feature of the October issue to The Manhattan illustrated magazine of New York. Warren Mail. Why didn't yoa send the artistic gentleman down here where they could get some idea of tho rafting business? The new school house is a "go," the voters of Tionesta borough having so decided last Saturday by a vote of 40 to 13 ia favor of tho erection of it. This verdict is so decisive that it leaves no room for doubt as to the sentiments of the people ou tho sub ject. The vote was not a large one, yet from all the information we can gather the majority of those who failed to get to the polls would have voted in the affirmative and thus made the matter even more decisive. As it is the directors are relieved of much re sponsibility in the premises, aad the people have indicated their wishes in no uncertain way; tho board ean therefore proceed, feeling that the peo ple are with it. We believe the elec tion must be confirmed by the Court before any definite action can be taken, and as that can not be done before the last of September it is uot likely that much will be accomplished in the way of building before next spring.

Mrs. Hopkins and her daughter Lizzie have gone to Chautaaqua where they will spend two or three weeks. A panther, supposed to be, has late ly been seen in the vicinity of Fagun dus and Pineville. The schools at Flemming Hill.Nill town, Stewarts Rua, Allender Run, and Gorman's have all closed for toe summer term.

The most important well that has come in during the past week ia Por cupiue No. 9. Since Porcupine No. 8, on 3194, was opened the oil trade has been anxiously awaiting the result ef the next venture to tho north of it, which is No. 9. Porcupine No. 8 be ing a larger well than was expected from its locatiou there has been a great interest manifested in its result, as determining whether there was an important addition to the Balltown field to the north of present develop ments. Its location is 400 feet north of No. 8, so that the distance was hardly sufficient to make the well a good test, unless it had proven to be much larger or smaller than No. 8. The No. 9 was opened uuexpeetedly to the trade Friday, and its showing is similar to its neighbor on the next lo cation, and would not seem to indi cate a very close approach to the edge o" the belt iu that direction as yet. The first hour it made thirty-six bar rels, the secuud hour thirty-five barrels, and the uext hour about the same. Porky eight made over forty barrels the first hour, aud put 800 barrels ia the tank the- first twenty-four0. It is bow doing 330 barrels, toe No, 9 held up strongly for the 5 three hours. It will be reraerobepo.. that Porkey eight is 400 feet north ef No. 6, a light producer, and No, 9 is , 400 feet, north of, No. 8, fo that tho developments of these two wells makes a belt over 1000 feet from Ne'.6, al lowing some for the extention beyond No. 9. A later report from Porcupine No. 9 puts its production at 500 barrels the first seventeen hours. Porcupine Oil Co. is building a rig for No. 10 at which the drill will be started to-day. It is located 400 feet north of No, 9. They are also locat ing a rig along the north lit of the tract 800 feet north of No. 4; another 400 feet west of the latter, and still another 400 feet west of that. These are for the purpose of finding where the belt runs across the end of the lot." Grandin No. 3 which was torpedoed last week, made 525 barrels the second twenty-four hours. Thursday after noon it was making eighteen barrels an hour. This is undoubtedly the best well in the field, and one of the best ever struck in the oil regions. Since it was first opened it has pro duced nearly if not quite 100,000 barrels of oil. ' ' ' ' 7 A late gauge of the Cooper tract put the production of that district at 3,200 barrels a day, from 101 wells "'- We notice that George Hunter or . some onf else is fixing up the old rig . belowVr 4 depot, opposite town; for 1 the purjse, we presume, of drilling - ' the well deeper. ' - THE LATEST. Balltown No. 6, which is located opposite Porky No. 8, and is the next location north of Balltown No. 3, was ' opened last evening after the market closed. At three feet ia the sand it was showing light, but improved with deeper drilling and began flowing strong. The first hour it made fifty four barrels and one hundred and four -barrels the first two hours. ' ' McCalmont No. 5, in tho Cooper district, struck the second - sand yes terday and began flowing strong. The first hour it made fifty-two barrels. It is located in the southern part ef di- -vision 12 of the Henry lands, just north of the Syndicate property, and directly south of the producing well' on 440. ' .
