Stow of Brad ford, were guests of Mrs. II. II. May during the past week. Mr. V. Byroro, of Byrom'e Sta tion, Jenks twp., was in town this week and paid our sanctum a pleas ant visit. . Mr. O. W. Moon had the misfor tuue to fall, while leaving hU work in the woods on Monday, and disloca te his right choulder, which will doubtless lay him up for some time. The home of J. F, Root, ot East Hickory, was made glad by the arrival of an eleven-and-a-half pound boy on the 22d. We think John ought to rail him George Washington. New maple sugar ought to 6how up pretty soon. It's got so now a days, Iiowever, that old sugar warmed over counU the en me as .new, like Josh Billings' boarding-house hash. Councilman Fones is having the finishing touches put on his house near the school house. An addition is be ing put on the rear, and it will be a very comfortable residence when doue. Miss Bertha Harland, daughter of our old friend and former towns man, W. B. Harland, leturns to her home this week,' after a visit of sever al months with relatives aud friends in this ueigborhood. Last Friday evening Jake Siggins fell down the abandoned cellar way in the alley at the south end of the Lawrence IIouse,'and was quite severely bruised about tho head. Al so jamming one of hii hands quite badly. II. J. Hopkins & Co. have just finished iuvoicing tbeir goods and will bring on their spring goods shortly. Ia the meantime they are offering some rare bargains in winter goods to bake room for the new stock. Lost A dark brown, or liver-colored pup, about 3 months old ; had a new strap around Deck. Any one knowing his whereabouts will confer a favor and be suitably rewarded by making it known to N. S. Foreman, Tionesta, Pa. We are in receipt of an unsigned communication from Fagundtis, in which the writer states that if we don't publish te please let him know the reason. Now, this is a pretty hard matter to do hen he fails to sign his name. A. C. White, Esq., of Brookville, paid our town a visit this week, and during his stay had the pleasure of meetiug many of etir prominent citi zens. Mr. White is the choice of Jef ferson county for Congress in this dis trict, a staunch Republican, one of the leading lawyers of the Bar of his county, and a pleasant gentleman to meet. 3. T. BRRIfHAH. A flock of wild geese passed over this place Monday going due south. 1 his would iudicate more cold weath er were it not that all prophets have failed in their prognostications this winter. But perhaps the geese fenow more about it than Vennor. They ought to. Mr. J. D. 'Ilulings, whose busi ness has kept him in the lumber re gions of West Virginia on and off for two years past, is making arrange ments to move his family there Ehort ly, we learn. "Dad" is one of Tio uesta's oldest residents, and his fa miliar form will bo much missed here should he leave us. The delivery horse of II. J. Hop kins & Co. took a notion to raise higbjioks last Friday morning, and did so, but came out second best in the fracas. After turning two or three sharp corners both he and the wagon took a turn and landed in the middle of the street in froct of the Central House. Not much damage date. Messrs. ChatlesM. Cox and Wm. C. Morey, of Boston, paid our town a visit during last week. These gentle men are largely interested in the well kuowo Spooner tract situatedon Tion esta crock. They made the nquaiut ance of quite a number fcf oof citizens, and seemed well pleased with their visit. We hope they will come often er and stay longer in the future. Our announcement corner is swelled by the addition of several new names this week, as follows: Congress, Hon. Andrew Cook, of Barnett; As sembly, Mr. Peter Berry of Howe, and Dr. S. S. Towler of Jenks; Sheriff, Mr. Leonard Agnew of Howe, Mr. J. R. Landis of Barnett, aud Mr. Jas. R. Clark of Tionesta; County Commis sioner, Mr. S .J. Setley of Kingsley. Mrs. N. P. Wheeler, of East Hickory, will please aceeptthe thanks of the editor and his better half for a supply of the largest, sweetest and most luscious oranges it has ever been our pleasure to feast upon. A short time before his death Capt. Alexander Smith, father of Mrs. Wheeler, plant ed an orauge grove in Florida, from which this delicious fruit was pluck'ed. Morris the Tailor, Oil City, wishes to inform his friends and many cus tomers in this section that be has just re ceived a large stock of fresh goods for the spring trade, and is prepared to turn out suits on short notice and in the latest stylo, guaranteeing a perfeet fit and entire satisfaction iu every case. Mr. Morris asks an inspection of his stock. 2t. Week before last some one entered the house of Mrs. D. Robb, at Old town, while she was visiting with friends at Fox Creek, aud ransacked it from cellar to garret. The thieves succeeded In finding the lady's watch and a large pocket book, which they stole. Her papers, receipts &c, were strewn, over the floor promiscuously, and it is evident the theif or thieves were expecting to find some money. Our informant fails to state whether they got any. No clue to the perpe trators has as yet been discovered. Our congratulations and best withes are cordially extended to Mr. 'Dolph Seigleand Miss Nora Ilulings, whose marriage notice appears in its proper place to-day. The happy cou ple took their departure for Clarinda, Iowa, cd Monday, where they will re maia for some weeks, and from thence to Washington Territory, where Mr. S. expects to embark in the lucrative business of brick-making, a trade which he understands thoroughly. May their journey through life be a happy and prosperous one. M. A. K. Weidner Esq., one of Clarion county's prominent lawyers, was a guest of Tionesta this week. Mr. W. is one of Clarion's candidates for the Republican nomination for Congress in this district. He is an out spoken gentleman, a good talker, and should he go to congress would make himself heard, don't you forget iL Mr. Weiduer's opponent in 'Clarion county is Jas. T. Maffet Esq., a lead ing member of the Bar, and who's ac quaintance we had the pleasure of making this week, and find him a very pleasant gentleman. Just received A full line of Ladies', Misses, Children's aud In fant's Shoes, ia fine and common goods. Houest reliable goods at low prices. Wm. Smearbaugh & Co. 4t Boneless Codfish, Fresh Lemons, 35 kinds fina Toilet Soap & Perfum ery at Wm. Smearbaugh & Co.'i. It The ball at Lawrence Hall lait Friday evening under the the. auspi ces of Capt. Stow Post was a veiy pleasant but not a financial success owing to the bad state of the roads, and the fact that the evening train happened to be detained, preventing a large number from Tidioute, Hick ory and intermediate points from get ting here. The crowd numbered about seventy couples, which juBt about let the Post out whole with do extra change to throw at the birds. However, those who attended had a jolly good time. Reig'g orchestra fully sustained their excellent reputa tio on this occasion, as did also the proprietor of tho House iu getting up a splendid supper. As a whole the party was all that could be expected under the circumstances, and the malingers have no reason to feel ashamed of tbeir first effort. We hope Providence may be on their side next time. Last Wednesday evening G. W. Brown, of Youngsville, Pa., assisted by Henry Brace and W. E. Witherel, of Century Uuion, No, 418, of Brace ville, organized East Hickory Union, in the M. E.

Night of meeting Tuesday of each week. CORRESPONDENCE. CLARI"GTON NOTES. The scribe who would appropriate another scribe's nom de plume, and then slander it by prefixing "Old" deserves no humanity at the bauds of bis fellow citizens. The ice went out without doing any damage. Joseph Lander's wife bos been quite ill for some time. She is now better. There is about 300,000 feet of tim ber on the banks of the Clarion at this place. There is considerable timber to ruu on the Clarion this spring, although not nearly so much as usually run. There will be a largo run of boards from the upper Clarion. Abe Braden and Frank Elder have bought 4 acres of land lying along the old head-race which lead to the Armstrong saw mill. They intend to move the Baxter Saw Mill to this place, and will engage, in the manu facture of lumber. Mrs. Butterfield aud Mrs. Tilletson are at their old home iu York State where they have been called by the death of their mother. Mrs. Jane Brandon wife of Uncle Jimmy Brandon was buried in the Clarington grave-vard, Saturday, Feb. 9. She bad been in poor health for years. There seems td be considerable sick dcs in the form of bad colds among the children in nearly every part of the county. Sylvan us Zents of G'eenwood is able to hobble around again a very little. By-tne-way, be has put ia at Troutman as fine a raft of oak timber as ever went in there. It is only 4 platforms long and yet the length of the raft is 195 feet; a plat form of 40'8,'45's, 50's and 60's. Some of 'the boys' are doing aome good fishing ouce in awhile. Friends from Armstroug Co. have been visiting, with Mr... W. H. Ra rie'8. "Old Tramp" seems to ignore our school-ma'ams. No reason why he should. He doesn't do our mala teacher more than justice. .W. H. McClant, the popular teach er of Greenwood, has moved his fami ly.from Armstrong Co., with the in tention of becoming a citizen of For est Co. I BY ROM'S. A revival meeting is ia progress with considerable success so fur. Since your 'Tramp last visited Byrom's two shingle mills have been put into operation here : Brury' , and Nash's, both sawing hemlock into shingles. Byrom's mill saws pine shingles. Business is quite brisk. We had the pleasure of meeting an old time friend hero, Oliver Boyd, who has wisely settled down to mar ried life, and is living at Nash's. We also met Aaron Tilletso and John Bailey here. John is still hefty on church music. One of the boys went out on a hunt tho other day and not coming in on time the people became alarmed and guns were fired and the whistle at the mill set going. Fortunately the lost man came in near the long hour of the night. There seems to bo a disposition to settle up this part of the county per manently. A literary is in progress here, meet ing alternately here and at Frost's SCATTERING. Jenks Twp. is reported to have had 68 candidates in all at the recent election. The Jenks School Board has put a good map of Forest Co. into all its schools. A commendable step. RaftiDg is going on in earnest along the Tionesta; but all boards no timber. Salmon creek mill has been renning and is undergoing some repairs. Floyd Proper knows more about boating than he used to, but his ex perience was chilly. The Extract Company is getting out the timbers for a new bridge at Kellettville. Justis Shawkey has moved his fam ily into part ot his store building at Kellettville. Your 'dispondent' had the pleasure sf meeting T. B. McChessney at Gar field lately, where he is in the grocery line, and passing two nights with O. T. Amsbury at the . same place. Oli ver is a first rate cook, and can make a bed first rate if he would. Harmon, at Salmon Creek, met with an accident. A log rolled agaiast bis foot jamming it considerably. " ' R. Z. Gillespie of Whig Hill paid Kellettville a visit Saturday. Your 'Tramp' learns that the schoels in ses sion this winter are doing good work. There is a very evident disposition on the part of teachers to improve them selves and their work in tbe schools. Some of our good people seems a lit tle afraid of "new ideas" ia teaching. But when our teachers have made themselves fully acquainted with the "new ideas" and have learned to'bring them in with proper tact then "new ideas" will be welcomed. Methods of doing all other kinds of work are changing and improving, and why not, too, methods of doing school work ? Tramp. Feb. 25, 1884. East Hickory Etchings. We are still on terra firms, despite the recent floods that have threatened destruction in every direction. Our bridges are all safe, thanks to a kind Providence, and good ropes applied in time. The new bridge across the Alle gheny is Still "Stanch and strong, a goodly vessel, that shall laugh at all disaster, and with wave and ice berg wrestle." The plank roads is unusual ly good for this season of the year, and business is lively about tbe mills. Rafting has begun, aud the indications of an early spring are good. The pro tracted meeting iu the M. E. Church closed week before list. And last week we were holding ourselves in readiness to attend the local institute which was to take place Thursday and Friday, but owing to the very incle ment weather, bad condition of the roads, etc., it was thought best to post pone the same. However, as Miss Belle MsCliutock had beeu engaged to sing Friday evening it was thought best to carry out that part of the pro gramme, aud we enjoyed a rare music al treat that will long linger in our store of pleasaut memories. Miss McCliutock is too well kuowu to need desctiptiou, and yet as this is her first appearance in Forest County, some of your readers may not have been privileged to hear her. She has a winning manner, and the rare truit of looking handsome while siugiug. Her sougs were appropriate and charming, and wheulher we sighed over "One Sweetly Solemn Thought," or smiled over the "The Three Old Maids of Lee," or broke iuto raptures of applause over her exquisite rendi tion of "Comiu' thro' the Rye," or ap preciated the skill iu execution of more difficult music, it was all alike charming and delightful. Sbo was ably accompanied by. your talented pianist Miss Maude Davis, wbo also favored us with two instrumental se lections admirably performed. Mr. F. A. Wheeler was in good voice and was joyfully welcomed by the audience. When the first selection was announced , "My Home on the old Ohio," one gentlman in the audience wbo was familiar with the late aspiring freaks ot that noble stream, said, Crackey it is ten feet under water by this time," but we will hope that the home' in the song was built above bigh watef mark. Prof. Hillard made feunie plain" and pertinent statements concerning tbe lack of attendance in our public schools, and -urged the necessity of more effort being made ' by teacbeia and parents to secure a fuller and more regular attendance.' Prof. Hil lard is deeply interested in tbe welfare of our County's schools and he should receive the thanks of all who favor education fur his zeal inthecuuse, and may the next Local Institute be a suc cess as it would have been thia time but for the weather. We are glad to know' that the little daughter of our genial merchant, Mr. T. J. Bowman, is recovering from the severe illness Which has thrown such a dark shadow over bis home for many weeks. Dr. Siggins has a large and increas ing practice, and we wish him success in hia arduous profession. February 23, 1884. Hickory. FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT. Mr. G. W. Brown, of Youngsville, is here organizing' a lodge of tbe Equitable Aid Uniou, and weareglad to Ptat6 is meeting with good success. The East Hickory brass band is progressing finely, and will be in good tune to go out to play by tbe time warm weather comes. Should any of our neighbors need any brass musio we can cheerfully recommend the boys of this place. Some of our citizens purpose build ing a town hall, the coming spring. Then hurrah, boys, for a sociaf hop. The young ladies of this place will give, an . oyster' supper at the East Hickory House next Friday evening, Feb. 29, for the benefit of the band boys. Supper 30 cents. Everybody is invited. . We've had a second Noah's flood, which left our yards covered with ice and mud; instead of filling the ark three by three, the boys for safety climbed a hickory tree'; and to escape the awful sight, the girls for the moun tain took their flight ; and one poor lad, who thought himself brave, came pretty near roosting beneath the wave. A happy porker wbo seemed at rest, was suddenly dragged by the ear from his nest; but he found it was only George, his friend, who was bound to stand by him until tb'e end ; Alas for his unfortuuate mate, he stood up man fully and aiet bis fate ; be was carried down stream mid ice and logs, and went to dwell with all good hogs. But the flood is over with little dam age done, so we talk it all over and havo much fun. Little Clipjer. February 22, 1884. Guaranteed to cure a cold or cough Aker's celehratod English remedy.
