The school board of Harmony township will receive sealed proposals until July 5th, for the erection of a frame school building at West Hicko ry. Specifications may be seen at II. M. Zahniuer's, Stewarts Run, R. O. Carson's, Neilltown, and at the Klein House, West Hickory. Here is a chance for some of our carpenters. Judge Reck returned last Satur day from his visit to Alliance, Ohio friends. The following clipping from a paper of that place rather gives the object of the Judge's visit away: "Judge John Reck of TioneBta, For est county, Pa., is visiting friends here. He is negotiating for a car load of silver spoons to help Butler in the presidential contest which means that the Judge is a lively Greenback- er. Mr. C. W. Dimmick has arrived ou the ground and has opened his new store to the public. Everything is as fresh and neat as can be, aud his stock comprises everything in the line of stationery, confectionery, tobacco and cigars, all of the very best quali ty the market affords. Ha will carry a full line of fruits in their season, and will endeavor to keep our market supplied with all tho nice things agoing. An exchange says : "Milk in the manufacture of ice cream is first boiled and afterward partly congealed. In the boiling a lacteal acid of bac terid is set free that, uniting with a hypo-sulphide of buteric oxide, again solidifies as a bi-sulphide of stuma- kake in the congealing. This, when taken into the system, produces pe ritonital cramps, frequently ending fatally." Cut this out and show it to your girl. The school directors of the bor ough met Monday evening to opeD the bids for the erection of the new school house. Four bids were received on the frame building and two on the brick. Tho lowest bid on the frame building was $8,000, by Mays & Os mer of Franklin, and on the brick 87,800, by Allen, of Titusville. The directors have not yet decided between the brick or wood buildiDg; this done and the work will go ou forthwith. Mr. Frank Ptrry 8n old and highly respected citizen of Forest county, died at bis home, a short dis tance above Judge C. A. Hill's farm, in Hickory township, on Monday of this week. Mr. Perry Lad been in failing health for years, but was con fined to his bed only a few days be fore his death, which was caused by heart disease. He was about 70 years of age. Thus do the old land marks pass away. May he rest in peace. It is with much pleasure that we note the rapid growth of the farming in dustry of ForestCounty. We have re ports from all parts which indicate that mush more than usual attention is given to this branch of business and that farmers are extending their broad acres and putting them in handsome order. This is particularly noticeable among our Dutch Hill farmers, who have within the past year made many extensive and valuable improvements, and many acres that a few short months ago wsre a body of timber and woods are now made to yield rich and varied crops. In a few years our county will rank with any in this sec tion of the State in farming pursuits, as it does now in the production of oil. II. J. Hopkins & Co., will give you more goods for a Dollar than any other store in the country, 2t. The fear that the late and unsea sonable frosts had killed the house flies is dissipated by the appearance of their advance pickets on the skir mish line of domestic life. A few now perch on the rim of the cream jug, and reconoitre the edge of the buttei dieh. Ten days from now thousands of them will be wading knee deep in butter, and millions more will be actively engaged in housekeeping. Franklin News. The Cochranton Times says: "From now until the first of July is the usual time for sowing buckwheat with our Jarmers. Whether it id be cause the crop was short and the price high last year or not, the farmers of this vicinity, the centre of the best buckwheat growing section of the United States, are sowing more than the usual amount this year. From present indications, and taking the price of wheat into consideration, tho crop will be larger and the price low er than last year. THE GLORIOUS FOURTH. Program of Doings in Tionesta.

Saturday's Derrick gives the fol lowing account of the Agnew well, tbe largest which has been struck in the Balltown district for several months. "Emery & Agnew's well on 3,195 was drilled into the sand to-day and is reported as starting at 33 bar rel8 per hour. Its location is Routh of the Gartlan producers in tho north east corner of the samo tract, and northeast of tho old Porcupine well, No. 1, known as the "Good Friday" well. From its being a largo produc cr it looks as if there was another epur running in that direction from the Balltown District. It is a quar ter of a mile southeast of the Porcu pine, No. 7, dry hole." We learn that the estimate of the Derrick is considerably under cdiruat ed. The well started at tho rate of 58 barrels per hour, and at last ac counts was doing 50 barrels. The drill has penetrated tho sand only about four feet. Tho 92 acres on which this well is located is a part of Beveral hundred acres owned by Pro per & Agnew, and is a lot chosen by Judge Proper as a reserve for bimtielf and Agnew when there were several thousand acres to select from. He has always contended that it would turn out the best territory in the field, and although indications were often against bis theories, he was still unshaken in his faith. The Judge be licves that the largest well yet to come will bo on this same piece at the mouth of Wildcat Run. Tbe council run well at this place is again on a stand still. Balltown Punkies. The school at this place is in prog' ress with the efficient Mrs. Neely as teacher. It is doubtful whether the "Great Shut Dewn" movement will affect this field. The companies here feel disposed to "go ahead." The worthless blackberry patches of afeffyears back are now worth thousands. The lands are very care fully measured now where ten years ago distances were guessed at. The production of the wells at Balltown is maintaining a stand still at present, and is about as follows: 4821-430 barrels, 4792-480 to 500 barrels and 3194 400 barrels per day. Murphy & C., or Porcupine Oil Co., will have a rig ready for the drill to-day (Wednesday) 142 rods north and 14 rods west of tbe south east corner of their tract, 3194. The youug folks about Balltown as sembled at the Balltown House last Friday evening and tripped the light fantastic toe to the sound of Prof. Weaver's excellent violin, but owing to the illness of Mrs. Corah the dance "broke up" about midnight. Among those from abroad who were present at the opening of the Agnew and Proper well were Hon. A. Cook afid S. W. Calvin of Cooks burgh, lion's J. B. Agnew and J. A. Proper of Tionesta, Mr. Wray of Warren, J. F. and Forest Proper and F. F. Whittekin of Tionesta. The Agnew & Proper Gu3her which was a surprise to every one is located 148 rods north and 51 rods euHt of the southeast corner of warrant No. 3195 and 41 rods north of Tionesta creek. The rig was built by John Galey by mistake on a lot of 92 aeres belong ing to Agnew & Proper but was not drilled by him. The well was put down by Aguow & Proper, Emery & Welch, and was opened on Friday. From 2:20 to 4:20 p. m. it put 39 inches in a 250 tank, or 108 barrels close figuring. At last accounts it was making between '60 aud 35 barrels per hour. This well is far east of and not known to connect with any belt or pool now known of. Ii may open up a largo Dew field. - Murphy, Walker and others will drill several wells near the mouth of Wolf Run, ou Spring Creek, this summer.

Tlio Festival at Fagundus netted $20.20; another is promised in the Eear future. The Harmony School Board met at Neilltown Saturday evening to decide upon pkns for a school house at West Hickory. Mr. Orion Sigglna deserves honorable mention in connection with this affair. He has offered to bnild the foundation for tho house free of charge. It is needless to say that his offer has beu accepted by the School Board. Harmony Twp's school tax for this year is 15 mills. Orion Siggins has broken ground for the building of a handsome resi dence at Wsst Hickory. It will not cost less than $5,000.
