Superintendent Ilillard calls our
attention to the fact that quite an cr

item of visits to schools by the Super

(school year of 1880), which is coriect.
The average length of a visit is report
ed as 1.30 hours, which Superintend
ent Ilillard says is incorrect; it should
be 2.48 hours. He gives us the follow
ingfigures: Whole number of visits

the school, 467 04; average, 2.48

Hit News
On Friday evening last the pris
oner confined in the jail got out, but
was recaptured and brought back. lie
had complained to the Sheriff that
want of exercise was wearing on his
health so that he could not 6leep well
nights. Sheriff Aguew accordingly
gave him the freed; in of the hall and
yard for a part of the evening, not
suspecting that he had any iuteolion
of escaping. He had borrowed a
needle aud thread to mend his clothes,
and bad come into possession of a
knife. He had torn some blankets
into strips and knotted and sewed the
strips together in such a way as to
make a very serviceable ladder. At
the time the jail-yard wall was repair
ed by having au inclined top placeJ
on it, a plank was left, extending
across the top of the old wall, either
simply because il was forgotteu, or to
hold the walls together, we do not
know which. Throwing the rope lad
der up over the plank he easily
climbed to the tup of the wall, aud as
easily climbed down the outside.
Sheriff Aguew discovering the flight
drove to Newmanville, going by way
of Nebraska, and putting up his team
started back to Tionesta ou foot over
the Tyletsburg road, and met bib man,
as he anticipated, aud within a mils
of Newmauvillo.

Notes By the Way.
The finest roads we have ever had,
or, at least, as fine, very quietly dis
appeared on Friday and Saturday
last. The thaw was from the outside
and not what could be called "a
ground thaw.'' There was very little
rain, but a very warm sunshine aud
warm winds. In many places, espe
cially where the roads are protected
by tbe woods, all that ia needed to
make good sleighing is a little snow
and some freezing weather aud that
we'll have soon, we think.
Business seems to be very brisk in
the lumber woods this winter. Proba
bly as much square timber will be put
in at Clariogton aud the near vicinity
this winter as has been put in there in
one winter lor some time.
Some
of it
is hauled a long distance. At Trout
man and at Cooksburg considerable
timber is being put in. Most of the
timber that is going in is pine. .From
what we can learn there is probably
not so much activity in the lumber
woods above Millstoue on the Clarion
as there is for the first 15 miles below
that place, or, between there and
Cooksburg.
McC'intock's stave mill that was
burnt some time ago is being rebuilt.
Samuel War! has a job of cutting
logs on the Coleman tract.
Sylvaous Zents has the stono and
frame timber on the ground for a new
barn.
A protracted meeting was held at
Claringtou closing a short time ago
It resulted in four accessions to the
chnrcb.
Mrs. Osborne, wife of Thomas Os
borne of Claringtnn, is lying quite ill.
But little hopes are entertained for
her recovery.
A stick of square timber 60 feet
long and containing 401 feel and 3
inches, lies at the Maole Creek laud
ing in one of tbe timber piles there
belonging to tbe Messrs. Wallace

MINNESOTA LETTER.
Minneapolis, Jan. 1st, 1887.
Ed. Republican :
Minneapolis is justly called the
flour city" owing to her producing
more Hour than soy other in ine
world, but if she did not have that
honor she might well be termed the
"Lumber city" for her lumber inter
ests are immense, lho head waters
of tbe Mississippi
furnish the logs
here fr sawing,
aud 17 of them
which are floated
The mills are largo
have cut the past
year Ibl million
feet of lumber, 89 million ehinglesaud
55 million lath. The logging teaou
iu the pineries is now iu full blast
and it is expected the cut will be
about 300 millions. By (he way, I
weut ou a little deer hunt last mouth
and had a change to learn how they
haudle logs in Minnesota, for I stop
ped two weeks in a lumber camp and
had quite a goud opportunity to
learn ibeir methods of hauling and
handling the logs. I went to Pine
county on the Sr.. Paul & Duluth R.
K., and got off at a small lumber town
called Hinckley, aud went out to a
friend s camp ou Griodstono Creek.
The camp is located on the banks of
tbt) stream and consists of a cook-house
and diniog room large enough to feed
50 meu at a time, with men's room
and sleeping quarters attached, black
smilhshop, offices, barns for cattle and
horses, store houses, &c. The proprie
tor employs from 30 lo 40 men this
wiuter and commenced operations
about the 1st of December, and will
contiuue as long as snow lasts. He is
a former Elk Co., Pa., man, and al
though he is lumbering on a small
scale yet I found quite a difference in
their methods from those in vogue in
Forest and its adjoining counties. In
the first place the country is more
level and they can haul to better ad
vantage and draw large loads. Tbey
cut their main logging roads free from
brush, logs, stumps, &c, at least 20
feet wide. They use 4 horses for haul
ing, and sleds that track 9 fe.it, witb
12 foot bolsters. When loaded with
what is called a big load of logs it
looks like a moving skidway full. At
tbis particular camp the timber is
three and one-half miles from the
buildings; each team g-nerally makes
three trips each day. The men work
ing in the woods eat breakfast early
enough to enable them to reach their
work by the time it is daylight. Their
diuner is sent out to them and is of
course cold except coffee or tea, which
is made over a lire built on purpose.
At daik they return to camp fur sup
per. Some rf them, especially the
green hands, think seven miles walk
each day besides working from day
light till dark is pretty tough, but
tbey soon get used to it. Tbo stream
upon which they bank and drive their
logs is about as big as lubhs Kuu at
its mouth. It runs through a natural
meadow from 4 to 20 rods wide and is
very crooked. When a flood comes
the stream is 3 or 4 feet deep and thus
gives them water to float their logs.
It is 10 miles to the mill pond and it
takes five to six days for them to land
their logs in the pond. Tbat is not
like driving on the Tionesta when one
could drive that lar in a day with a
fair stage of water. My frieud gets
$4.50 per thousand for
running. He pars from
cutting and
$18 to $40
and boards
per mouth fir his help
them. By the way, I
lived like a
prince at His camp for he provides
plenty of good food aod his cook is a
daisy aud no mistake. I never saw a
woman cook tbat could beat him iu
preparing all kinds of pies, cakes,
making coffee, tea, bread, biocuits,
cooking meats, tc. No matter at
what time a fellow strikes that camp
if at midmight aud he is huugiy he is
sure of a well cooked meal and hot
tea or coffee. I tried it aod I know.
I suppose some of my old hunting
chums would like to hear about my
success hunting deer, eo here goes: I
was accompauied on my trip by a
nephew of the owner of the logging
camp. We were armed with Keuuedy
rifles and other indispeosible hnutiug
paraphernalia. The day we arrived
iu camp it was quite warm and the
snow soft, but by morning it had
frozen hard making a very strong
crust but not enough to bear cue's
weight, consequently every step one
made was uble to be heard by tbo Jeer
for 40 rods or more. We soon found
plenty of tracks and routed lots of
deer, bul, being strangers lo tbe woods
we did not know their crossings or
runways aud were not enabled to get
good shots. Ouce aud a while we
would get a glimpse of oue just vau
ishing; but only a glimpse, aud we had
no success for several day. A little
more suow fiually full aud that enacted
me to get three good shots out of
which I bagged two large bucks aud
wouuded a nice doe, which 1 did not
succeed iu getting. My frieud bud to
return home without getting but one
shut, and he unfortuuuttly missed his
aim aud bad to go home without any
veuison. 'ihere were large numbers of
deer killed but mostly earlier iu the
season. There is more deer on 10
acres of ground where I huuled, thau
ou 1000 acres in Forest Co. Oue
hunter killed 67; another 23. One
young man weut out with a common
tnubkel the first suw aud killed seven
iu oue day. Had I been acquainted
with the woods aud been there wheu
lbe snow was soft I believe I could
have killed quite a number Oue of
toy bucks weighed dressed 175 lbs.;
lbe other 150 lbs. By the wsy, wu
have venison steak Dow about every
day or as often as we care for it. It
was too cold weather for bears so 1 did
not see any, but 1 found il was no-'
troublo to find them alWwarra weath
er comes. 1 hey otleu shoot them out
of tbe camp windows after tbe enow
goes off. Wolves were quite plenty
aud I saw many tracks aud heard them
to my satisfaction bul did not see auy.
I went out oue night to watch for deer
where theyre in the habit of coming
into the fresh choppiogs to eat twigs
aud moss off the fallen tree tops. I
stayed until 1:00 a. m , and the wolf
concert I Iisleued to was a caution. I
was all alouo a good ways from camp.
It was h good uight for wolvis to bowl
but they did not come very near, but
owing to lbe racket the deer wero thy
and kept away that particular night.
I went out one other night and wus
accompanied by lho lumberman's sou
aud as I was just about to get a shot
the young tellow got tired of watching
his location and came up in plain
sight of the '-deer scaring him away
from roe. I secured the tines I head of
deer horns while there I ever saw aud
am now baviug It put up by a noted
taxidermist; it beats them all. As to
small gamo there are plenty of pheas
ants or grouse where 1 hunted, but I
only shot a few ; they were very tame ;
also rabbits were plenty, but I did not
try to kill auy, yet I hud Ij almost
kick them out of my way before ihey
would run. As for fish this State con
tains lakes without Dumber aud they
are all filled with fih. West of hero
in the oak timber, squirrels are pleuty,
and in spring and fall wiK ducks aro
very plecty about most of the hikes
and marshes. I went out a couplo of
times last fall and brought home all I
wanted to carry. Well, Friend Jake,
I am sure when you uuwrap this bun
dle you will draw down your lip and
say tbis is longer than the time you
have beeu expecting to hear from me,
but you know what to do with it;
either consign it to the waste basket,
or prune it down with tbe editor's
frieud, the scissors. You can assure
vour readers of one thing and that is,
I am prepared to prove all the figures
I have given you as to this state and
city, but if any one wauts to be con
vinced of the present and future great
ress of this "Great Northwest" let him
roine out here and see for himself.
