Y. Z enka Township Reports Once More. Since the last report sent to the Republican time bas dealt ''fair to middling with a rising tendency. lh Jenks. Tbe ax of the festive Bara Peeler swung lively all last sea- on, but capital was light and ship ments slow so that many of tbe boys are yet short on the market. The price of hemlock has ruled low, and while millions of feet have been ship ped, yet the margin of profft has been so small that a few bad sales abroad, or had luck at home, brought thers to their knees, but left the ma jority of shippers still on deck, hop ing that a boom will strike the Sal mon and Millstone before long. To commence at the south ; Curl! Campbell & Co. keep tbe machinery moving pretty steadily, but have noth- ng uew t report aince our list, but the gas well. The men use it fr fuel in their hoiie, while a great light placed near Gilfoyle station, keeping Scott M 'hney's chicken coops warm. Scott also uses it as a labor savior machine by placing a small light close t the atore and station platform. No record has been kept of the whiskers burned, shawls singed, dresses scorch ed, or number of children consumed ; hut the fact that it saves Scott shovel ing the snow off that platform is patent to the most indifferent observer. Next on the line is the May job ; big Jim Morrison's mill sawing the umber. Jim is from Jefferson Coun ty. Pa , and is of blue blooded Scotch Presbyterian decent, N. P. a that, and while Jeems' fi b may be at little off, his practice is still up to tbe old honest standard of bis ancestors, and he knows how tu run a sat mill. which is more than the old covenanters could say. At Brockwar siding E Russell bas m mense piles of pine lumber and staves, shipments being made daily. Al Rose s, the bark of C. C. a Co., from the Jbnterprise transit Co. s anda ia tbe principal shipment. At Shipe, Mensch A Co. 'a Mill bustnesa baa just started for the spring trade, and ao not much to report. At Mnenvi!le. there is tn new saw mill and planing mill of Cbaa Leech, just back of the Station, and the new saw mill of Henry trank, on Col. Hunts land, just west of tbe ceo tre. J W. die and others have large quantities of hardwood rolled up on tbe skins at Leech s, and U. Gross has a nice lot of pine at Frank'a. North of town in "dead borse hoi low," alias, "pnnkey hollow," alias, salmon city, Frank Reck planted his new mill and is sawing pine for Hortnn, Crary & Co. Andy 8mall does the stocking, and rolls op the logs to great shape. Our three merchants seem to be iog well ; tbe bald bead of Col. Am sler still shines in bis new store room as a beacon light to guide the pil grime to the place of goods cbesp and reliable, the portly form of I nomas Jefferson Reyner iodicstes a state of contentment with himself and his cus tomers continual purchases, while the poetical Carrineer beama on you with a new rhyme, about tbe nuk naz and canned goods never so low. David Whites machioe shop keeps up steam all day and part ot toe night, repairing anything from steam engine to a coffee mill. It ia pretty bealtby lust now, but Doctor lowier is kept moving, attend ing to two patieuts with broken leg. aud with the natural increase to tbe population. He says it is only a queS' tion of time when tbe Democratic ma orily will be wiped out, as so far tbe Republicans are ahead in the boy line, We have bad two entertainments here, one a musical a flair in the Pres byterian Church fur the benefit of the church funds. Miss Maud Davis of your town kindly stayed ber Boston trip for a week and cave na the bench t of ber talent. She ant only cap Hired the audience by ber brilliant niano music, but the modesty with which she received the thanks, con gratulations, and compliments pa;d to her during the evening was as, Mrs Partington would put it a "parable to the whole circus. The entire pre formance waa satisfactory, and the audience generous io applause. Ow tog to bad weather and bad mads the proceds were not immense, but prob ably enough to stop Curt. Sbawkey Prothonatory etc, from wearing church bill of feea next hia heart ant longer, and the Tionesta printers will be able to pay the devua week s wages aud cive the trustees a receipt. Tbe thero performance was that of an am atuer troupe from Byrom and Frosts they played "the victim of the bottle or "The social class" and did it well considering all things. During the previous week some wags tried to make the boya nervoua by burling at them aucb trifles as, "shake not those gory lock me," and, "the villitn still pursued her," etc., etc., but it wouldn i work worth a nickle. In religious matters we move along smoothly Rev. Edwards of the M. E Church U a good preacher, a good man, and pleasant companion. He and hi family are an acquisition to the tow that we would be sorry to lose I the Presbyterian church we have ha Rev. Williams. Elder Elliott, and our old stand by, Rev. Hickling of your town. Bishop Hickling is deservedly popular up ber-', and we are thankful to the church at Tionesta for sparing biro to ns so often. But some of the boys who are both weak ia tbe knees and io the faith wish be would not make that second prayer so long. To move on ; North of Kecks Para dise, at the old Tommy Porter place, where our talented brother, S. D. rwin captured old Mortalitys por- idge plate,) Taylor & Crate, alias, O. M. Agrelius, are sawing cherry r delivery on board cars at Marieo- Title. North west, Jackson, Watson Co. have millions of feet of logs stocked ready fur tbe big saw mill in tbe pnog. Al Byrom s, W. I. Co are running a saw and plaining mill as usual. Orury is ready tn start np the hingle mill, and Frank Nash is pile- tng up bis store sled to tbe root. At Frost s, W. H. F. keeps on the even tenor of bis wsy, both mills runniog, and shipments continual. 1 nomas iNugeot, one of tbe well known men ot the county, died oi blood poisoning, March 2ud. He was born 1810 in Cambria Oo. Fa.,; be came to Jenks twp. in 1840. He was the last of his family. He was hunter, rapper, and guide, spending most ol his time that way. In a copy of tbe F .rest Press of July 1st, 1876, our own historian, Sao. u el D. Irwin, has this to say of bim. "In 1840, solitary and alone, without chick or child, came Thomas Nugent, and built a cabin in tbe wilds of Jenks, where b still resides. He bas performed tbe parts of farmer, surveyor, and hunter. He once, by way of diversion, crawled nnder a ledge of rocks and captured a den of young wolves. There were five in the lot of which, he says, I killed our. but saved the fifth for luck for a pet, but it soon became ugly and kill ed my dogs and cats, when I cooked its hash with a bullet, tb latch string to Tom s cabin is never pulled in and to arrive at bis cabin is the weary fisbermaua hope and tbe hunt ers delight. For tb benefit of your non resident subscribers who are land owners, and also for tbe benefit of some folks, who might know, but wont, at borne, we give the tollowing school history show ing what has been done: In 1880 tbe Township had four schools, time 6 months, levy 6 mills, wages loU per. month, and only one school house worthy of the name, and that nothing extra, while tbe furniture waa tbe old pine desk and beflcb, pop station about 250 in the Township. In 1880 and 1881 4 schools, time 7 months, levy 7 mills, wages 133; pop ulation 2lb. In tbia year the railroad was com pletd to Manenville, and one train ronninr. In 1881 and 1882, schools 4. time months, levy 8 mills, schools 5 mills building, wagea $33; Population 350 In this year tbe old log school house at Roses, built in a grave yard turn bled down, a new house was built at i cost of $690, new furniture placed tberei'i, and also tbe Marienville school, at a cost for both houses of $320. A state map was placed iu eat h school and the board borrowed $300 for 2 years. In 83 and 84. schools 5, Mm months, wages $37, levy 8 mills school, 3 building. This vear a new school house was built at Gilfoyle at a cost of $727, and furniture, $135. In obedience to law a school was opened at Reck a mill in a temporary build ing. All bouses worth ioscreing, all furniture well insured and county maps placed iu every school. The grade of eertincats required was higher than formerly. In '84 and '85. Schools 6, time 7 months, wages $37 , levy 9 mills school. 6i building. This vear a new school house was built at Bvrom'a at a cost of $654 $126. for furnitnre and insured The year previous, Mj. Walter Byrom had provided the school mom at Ms own expense, ropuiatton oou. In '85 and '86 schools 5, time 8 months the wages $40. levy 9 mills. school, and 4 building. In the vear the Mercilliott and Reck achools were discontinued, and a new school bouse built between the two, to which all the scholars of those schools could go, thus saving the ex peoses of one school. Toe schoo house at Mcrcillintts, was old and small and not fit for its uses aov Ion ger, and the saving of the expenses of one schoo for two years built the new house. The house at Eldiidge's cost $654. furniture $120. and ws insured. Iu this year tbe loan of $300, waa paid. Population 800. Iu ibis year the grade of certificate required waa professional. Io '86 aud '87. schools 5. time 8 mouths, waees $40. levy 10 mills,, lu this year the school lots were fence and cleared, school books furnishri under the uew law, and a copy o Websters Unabridged Dictionary placed in each school. Population about 950. The population is figured en a basis of five persons to the vote of each year. In 1880 Jenks twp. had 4 schoo but only owned i of an acre of ground it bad one old log school house built in a grave yard al Roses, it bad a a 'ii a I . s riff house at aierienvuie ouni in 100 and still in use ; one at Mercilliotts a small affair on lessed grouud, and nearly aa old as the Manenville, house In 1687 it has four good school houses, frame weatherboarded, painted, lath ed and plastered, and on stone foon dation ; it has one old house at Mar ienville, lhat the Board ia trying make do nntil it knows just what tb future will require. All tbe bouses are well furnished sad til icsurded Now, they are so built, and at soch points in tb twp. that, except at Marienvill, a new bouie will not b required for years to come. Each one f tb new bouses bas on acra of ground. That at Rose's was given by he Enterprise Transit Co., A. B. lowlaud Act. That at Gilfoyle by Curll Campbell & Co. That at By rows byUeo. W. Means, and Congress man White of Brookville. You will see how generous these parties were when you remember that every one of them are heavy taxpayers. That at Eldridges wss given by tbe late D. 8. Eldridgo and his son Charles D. El- ridge, following tbe good examples of the others. We follow this up with some ngures to show bow tbanktul some of tb kickers should be, and as solemn warning to the men who squeal al home about school tax. ihe whole amount of unseated school tax fur 1886 and '87 is 1847.37. be seated tax is 617.54 or, in round utuber, about J of tbe whole. Of this unseated tax, ten dollars anyway will be exonerated, leaving $607.54. Of this $143 85 is paid by persons who . ive neuhor to thia twp. nor county, eaving $463 69 for the resident tax payer, ut this nearly izun is paid by x farms or persona vix ; Curll Camp bell & Co. W. Byrom & Co. J. D. Iunt. J. II Menoh, and A. K Shipe, eaving about $265 for the average seated lax pavor to put up. Again, of this $463 69 $218 61 are paid by persons having no child to send to school, leaving those having children just $245.18 to pay this last year for 8 mouhs school and books thrown in. These figures are very suggesting and tbe fellow who squeals on a hrty cent tax wants tn ibiuk them over a little, and the partiea who howled $4, 000 school house when there waa just a seventy-five cent one in view want to weep over them a trine and repsnt of their rash expressions. The school Boards of the last 7 years have noth- ng to be ashamed of, nhe work bas been well, wisely, and economically done, and theunseated tax paid the hills. The comfort to tbe wild land owner is in the fact that good schools ike good churches bring in Ihe better class of settlers, and without them that class will not come. They will go west" aod grow up with the coun try. JL. jL. A. Teachers' Examinations. Balltown, Saturday, April 9, Whig Hill. Clarington. Marienville. Examinations to begin at 9:80 a. ra.

Thia wis during the "tiring times of Clarion ooun tys' oil excitement an I the amount of busi ness done by the oJQce was very great. He overworked himself and did himself injury. He went out of the office and np into the pine woods to regain his health. Getting tetter he entered Judge Corbett law otlk-e as a partner with Mr. Corbett In the piactire of law. His health failing again he was compelled to leave the office. Urowing better he again look up tne prao ticeof law, I his time in Pittsburgh.
