The Coming Institute.
The time for holding the Annual
Institute is almost here. The outlook
indicates a successful meeting. It is
true that Tiocesta will be full of peo
ple, but we fuel safe in saying that the
school ma'ams will find places to stay
during Institute, or what is bettor,
places will be secured for tbem iu ad
vance, so that they will aot be subject
ed to the necessity of bunting places
for themselves. It Beems to be better
had Institute been held at some other
time. But this is only iu seeming.
Under the existing circumstances the
only available week outside of Court
Week was Christmas week. And in
deed an effort was made to put it
Chirstmas Week. But en carefully
weighiog all the circumstances it seem-
eu 10 oo mucn oeuer to put lusuime
during Court Week. It does ootseem
to be really necessary to give a lengthy
reason here. Suffice it toay that as
Co. Supt. we think the Institute can
be made more effective as an educa
tional factor at that time, at least at
present, than at any other.
We reepecfully ask and solicit the
earty co-operation of all coocerned
to make this the most successful Insti
tute ever held in the coaaty. It will
be a credit to the town, an honor to
the county, the glory of the teachers,
and of incalculable good te the cause
of education to make it such.

In Re the Ordinance passed by the
Council of Tionesta Borough, Nov. 5,
1883, for a sidewalk from Elm Street
to the Allegheny River:
1. This ordinance is not approved
for the reason it is vague and irregu
lar and not in accordance with the
Borough Laws of the State, and un
seasonable. 2. It was not presented to the Bur
gess for his approval ami signature,
the first be knew of it being a publi
cation of the so-called ordinance in
the Forest Republican.
3. That there are no buildings on
the lands indicated or vaguely set
forth as bordering on said proposed
walk, but the lands are used for agri
cultural purposes.
4. That said walk, if built, would
not benefit the public generally, but
only a very few private persons, on
the outskirts of the place.
For these and other reasons the Bur
gess disapproves of said ordinance as
irregular and illegal.

HYMENEAL.
"Happy the bride whom, the sun
shines en." Last Wednesday morn
ing those friends who had been honor
ed with an invitaliou gathered at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. T. B, Cobb
to witness tbe marriage of their Jaugh
ter Kate to Dr. Thomas D. Dunn, of
West Chester, Pa. Only a few of the
near relatives and most intimate
friends of the bride and groom were
present. The first intimation the
guests had that the hour for the cere
mony had arrived was the swinging
back of the folding doors between the
parlor and setting room, at about
half past eleven o'clock, revealing to
them tbe bridal party.' Rev. Jas.
Ilickling then stepped forward aod
united the twain ia holy wedlock in
accordance with the beautiful and
impressive ordinance of the Presby"
terian church, including the. ripg
ceremony and the giving away of the
bride by her father, all of which was
most handsomely carried out and en
listed the breathless attention of all
who witnessed it. The bridesmaid
and groomsman were, respectively,
Miss Maud Davis of Tionesta, and
Mr. Willard MoVean, of St. Marys,
Pa. At the conclusion of the cere
mony congratulations and best wish
es were showered upon the happy pair
in profusion after which tables were
spread 'with a most elegant lunch,
to which, it is needless to say, great
justice was done. The newly wedded
pair then departed for the 1:45 train
for Meadville, and from thence will
repair to West Chester, their future
home, where Dr. Dunn has established
himself in an extensive and lucrative
practice. As mementos of the happy
event many costly as wall as lovely
and useful presents were left.
Mr. and Mrs. Dunn, for such we
now have tbe pleasure of calling
them, are well and roost favorably
known to our people. Both eminent
ly cultured and refined, it seems such
a union can scarcely be otherwise
than ever happy, and if the sun of
prosperity and joy always shines as
brightly upon them as did the
bright orb of day on the occasion of
their marriage they will indeed enjoy
a blissful journey down life's pathway.
Our best wish is a fong life and a
useful one.
LETTER FROM TEXAS.
I was unfortunate enough this
mcrning to miss connections with the
west bound train and in consequence
am compelled to lay over a few hours
in this place and I will endeaver to
improve the opportunity by writing
you a few lines.
The nil roads of Texas, and in fact
of the whole southwest are nearly
all united iu one spstem, known as
the Missouri Pacific, and controlled
by that greedy cormorant Jay Gould.
Like a civil engineer, ho is "Monarch
of all he surveys," and hence tbe peo
ple of this country bave no way of
redressing the many grievances un
der which tbey labor. Some branches
of this great railway system are in
a most wretched condition so. far as
tbe road bed and rolling stock equip
ments are concerned. So. many ac
cidents bave occurred on tbe line be
tween Sherman and Texarkana that it is
facetionsly designated as tbe "Angel
maker line," and yet I beard a man
say that he rode over that branch a
few days ago on a train that "went
so fast she only touched the tails at
the highest points." It is very grat
ifying for me to be able to pay the
above tribute to Mr. Gould s roads
just now when I am suffering the
mortification of having missed my
connections.
Ten years ago Jefferson was a city
of over 15,000 inhabitants, but to day
it has barely one-fifth of that number;
consequently in tbe language of the
poet, it is "too dead too" reuiovo
the epidermis. Since viewing tbe re
mains of its former greatness I have
longed for the power of a Goldsmith
to write a second "Deserted Village,"
or for the power ef a blacksmith to
hammer a little enterprise into tbe
people who still remain here. Long
rows of deserted brick buildings stand
like giant monitors to warn one of
the flight of time, and whole blocks
are boarded in and embelished with gor
geous posters of tbe "greatest show en
earth." The large brick market
bouse, where once were wont to con
gregate the "Butcher, the baker, tbe
candle-slick maker," and other traces
men of less celebrity, is now occupied
by Wm. Goat, Esq., and a large reti
nue of his bretbern who chew the cud
of bitter recollection and decayed
hoop-skirts withiu the shade of that
once busy mart of trade. When the
city was in its pristine greatness the
streets were fill brightly illuminated
by numerous gas jets, but to-day noth
ing remains to guide the erring feet
of the belated pedestrian except tbe
dismantled lamp-poets, and they seem
to point upwards with their tWJer
fingers as if in solemn ictiroatijru of
the fact that the city has "gone to
glory." Jefferson is situated at the
head of navigation on a bayou tribu
tary to the lied River by way of Lake
Sedo aud it was once the port through
which passed ail the imports and ex
ports of eastern Texas aud a large
part of Arkansas and Louisiana, but
with the advent of railroads and the
consequent building up of new tow us
she Lst her footing and has been re
duced to her present condition. '
This portion of Texas is situated in
what is known as tbe "Great cotton
belt," add what wheat is to Dakota
and corn is to Nebraska so is cottou
to Texas. The whole country is white
with colton and polka-dotted with
'negroes picking it. Cotton gins., are
to betlouud in all.the small towns and
in the large cities are located the com
presses and the oil mills. A compress
to us is ta of pqwerlul machinery which
takes a bale of cotton as it comes from
the press at the gin-house and reduces
its bulk! about two thirds. ' This is
doue'iu order to lessen the cost of
transportation from here to the points
where the cotton Is manufactured into
good The oil mills furnish a mar
ket for the cottou seed, which a few
years eo was all used as a fertilizer
for the Buil. Cotton-seed oil has become
a staple article of commerce, and it
finds a ready market where ever it
has been introduced. . '
Among a certain class of Texans
the followiug toast is frequently' pro
posed as. an appropriate prelude' to
lookiug through the bottom of a glass:
"When another ;IState " forTsakes us,
here's to tbe State that Takes-us."
This of course, has reference to the
large number of persons who have
come hither to escape the penalties
of the law fir crimes committed in
othei states. However Texas is by
no means a paradise , for criminals,
and the civil authorities, together
with an occasional "neck-tie party,"
are able to maintain the majesty of the
law and the protection of .life and
property. The only exception to this
is in regard to the fence cultiug which
is now beiug done over a great por
tion of the Btate. The men who do
the cutting are actuated by a desire
to redress what they believe to be
their wrougs and hence their unlaw
ful acts present quite a strange spec
tacle in tbe great calender of crimes.
The cutting is done with sharp pin
cers and the wires are cut on both
sides of every post thus rendering it
impossible for the fence to be repair
ed. I was told of a man who hired
four meu to watch bis fence at night
acd thus prevent the cutters from
performing their work. The cutters
came along in large numbers and af
ter disarming the four guards they
gave them each a pair of pincers and
compelled them to work all night at
destroying the fence they had beeu
employed" to protect. Tbe wire-cut-
iers comprise iwo classes oi men.
First: cowboys who have lost their
occupation by tho fencing in of large
ranches. Second, a poorer class of
6tockmen wbo own a lew cattle which
bave been fenced out of large tracts
of the best grazing land. Just how
the difficulty will e settled is a dia.
puted point, and the Governor has
called a special session of .the legisla
ture to act upon the important ques
tion. Some of the provincialisms used in
Texas sound quite strange to the ears
a "Pennamite." For instance, "He
'made' a 'heap, of cotton on that
plantation this year but I 'reckon' - he
can't do it again, 'no how'." Whea
I got off the train at Texarkana a
pickaninny about the size of a pint
measure called out lustily, ''Misterj!
'tote' yer 'grip' for 'two bits'," but
much to the little fellow's chagrin I
decided to 'tote' it myself.
One day last week I passed by the
jail in the neighboring town of Mar-
snail and as 1 did so 1 noticed two
men ou horseback ride rapidly up to
the building and as they halted one
of them blew a loud blast from a horn,
which was snspcuded by his side. Ia
response to the signal two fierce blood
bouDds came bouncing out of the jail
and the men at once galloped rapidly
out of town, closely followed by the
dogs which kept up an incessant bay
ing. Upon inquiry I ascertained
that the men weie iu pursuit of a nig
ger wbo had just murdered a man
out iu the couutry and that the blood
hounds, which cost the county $300,
were kept at the jail and were used for
hunl'mg down criminals. The scene
only lacked the proverbial donkey
to have beep a fair representation of
"Uncle Tom's Cabin." It now re
mains for some one to suggest that
that animal might have been found in
the person of
