Machcaocy and Amos dinger, of Neilltuwn, gave tbe town a call lim Saturday. The cornfields hereabouts look richer and more thrifty dow than they have for many years previous. You haven't beard that Kepler has got his coffee matters mixed up any in the past week or so, have you f We are pleased to report Wm. Fellon and family, at K0S4 Run, im proving from their siege i f typhoid fever. Senator Allon and George Hand Esq., of Warren, spent a few hours of Monday afternoon with Tionesta friends. J. II. Foreman, who has been stopping in the Washii gton oil field for some time, is with Tionesta lela lives ou a visit. Mrs. Col. Thomas has added to the value of her elegant property, by the erection of a substantial Dew side walk on the May St. front. A party of gentlemen from Ta renlum, have pitched their tents in a pleasant grove opposite West Hickory, and are having a "royal time." Tbe river is getting so low in some places that suufisti aro obliged to flop over on their sides to keep the sun from scorching their backs. Messrs. Doutt and Shoup are "painting the town red," aud have Otmmenced on Robinsou's store. It will look very handsome when finished. Tbe many friends of Mrs. II. O Davis, who has been very poorly for some months past, will be pained to learn of her coutinued and dangerous iHnee. The "harvest moon" shone bright ly all last night. Farmers often take advantage of these bright nights to cut their oats, but that crop is about all harvested now. Jus A Scott Esq., of Jenks town ship, paid Tionesta a short visit last week, on business. He reports quite a number of pew buildings under con struction in his section. Simou Whittuore and son Jacob will commence the erection of two dwelling houses near the Reese place, this week. They have taken the con tract of stocking the 15 race Mills. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hall, of Steubenville, O., spent a few hours in the city Saturday on their way borne from Tionesta, where they had been visiting their daughter, Mrs. Siggins. Derrick. The Tionesta Gas Co. is making arrangements to extend its line to Tid ioute this summer. The people up there are ripe for it, and say the com pany cannot get its gas up too quick to suit tberu. There will be a Sunday School meeting at the M. E. Church Friday evening, Aug. 5th, at 8 p. m., which the scholars, teachers, and all interest ed are expected to attend. Subject: the lesson of July 31st. A fair sized crowd boarded the excursion train to Niagara at this eta tioo last Thursday morning, and all say they had a good time. Excursion Ageut Newton always makes his pat rons comfortable and happy. We neglected to notice last week the enlargement of the Tionesta lie publican from 24 to 28 col urn us, with an improvement all around. We are glad to note that brother Week is ev idently prospering. Warren Mail. Alfred Ellsworth, son of Henry and Lelty Patterson, of Whig Hill, died quite suddenly on Friday last, and was buried Sunday. The child was aged two years, eight months and nine days. Tbe most interesting age. Barnett correspondent: James Brannon died on the 2Gth ult., near Clarington, at the residance of Mrs. James Ward, and was buried at the Claiiugton Cemetery the following day. Mrs. John White and daugh' ter, and Mr. and Mrs. Coon, are at' tending catupuieeting at Whig Hill Ben. W. May of Chicago, spent a few days of tbe latter part of last week in town, having came out to see his mother who was quite poorly, but is now much improved. Ben. was looking remarkably robust as usual. Mr. Fulton hits got comfortably domiciled in his new bouse, having moved in on Monday. Now if that pesky well, which is already about 45 feet deep, would show up a little water, our friend's happiness would be com plete. One of Lake Pownell's fine (earn horses staggered and fell in front of the postoflice last Friday, and before the harness could be taken off he was dead. Lake had refused $200 for the animal only a short time previous, but took his loss very coolly. Mr. II. W. Ledebur of East Hickory, shook bands with many Tio nesta friends yesterday. Notwith standing the low stage of water in tbe creeks, Mr. L. says they still have sufficient to keep their exteusive flour ing mill at that place going. By a private letter from Dr. Co- burn wo learn that ho hns egiiu changed bis location, his new home being Washburn, in the northwestern portion of Wisconsin. The doctor thinks he will like it there first rate, it being a young city of about 3,000 population, and growing rapidly. Tbe Forest Repuulican, J. E. Weok, editor and proprietor, has been enlarged to the tune of four columns more. The Republican is the largest paper printed in Forest county. We congratulate Mr. Week ou the im provement made and wish him success with the Republican. St. Mary Herald. R. R. McGregor, Esq., wrote to Clariogtou concerning the body found in the river below this place a few weeks since and he received an answer on Tuesday stating that from the de scription given there was litttle, if any, doubt that the body found was that of Mr. Julius Cooley, who was drowned at Miller's Eddy last November. East Brady Review. Tbe Franklin Nems locates a heinous outrage, which was committed on the lGih ult., at Balltown, Forest county, when it should be Balltown, near I'ithole, Venango county. Our neighbor, we doubt not, is innocent of any wrong intention, but all tbe same, we must protest against the saddling of such offenses on our county when they happen over the border. Work on the new mills of Brace Bros., at the mouth of Little Tionesta, hns so far progressed that stave sawing will commence in a day or two. It is expected lumber makiug will begin before the middle of the month, and things will be humming down at New Braceville before long. A tram road leading from tbe mill to their timber tract is now under construction. Correspondence has been opened with a Boston gentleman, which re vives the shoe factory talk in our midst. Tbe gentleman talks more business like than any that have yet broached the subject, and it will not be surprising if Tionesta gets its cov eted shoe factory after all, and that before long, too. We will endeavor to give further particulars next week. Kepler's interest in the Carnahan Bros, well has been summed up. He owns an eighth of the property, so said. The property gets an eighth royalty. Good judges put the production at about 30 barrels; one eighth of which is about 4 barrels, and an eighth of that, one-half barrel, which represents Kepler's interest. At the present price of crude that would be about twenty five cents! This only serves to show what a fuss a blow-bard can make over a quarter. The campmeeting at Whig Hill drew about all of Tionesta's popula tion last Sabbath. Conveyances of any description commanded a pre miuni. The meeting has been a sue cess iu all particulars. Tbe large crowds in attendance found ample accommodations, and were well cared for by the good people of the Hill Gillespie and Sons were indefatigable in their attention to guests, and allow ed none to go away hungry or diseat isfied. Quite a number of couverts were added to the church. Bradford special to the Wiztard, August 1st: A meeting of the heavy producers and presidents of the larger oil companies, is now in session at tbe parlors of the St. James hotel. The doors were closed at 3 o'clock and bono admitted who could not count their production in four or more fig ures which, of course, bars out the newspaper people. Tbe object of tbe meeting is to ascertain the feeling of the producers towards the shut down or, as Mr. II. L. Taylor expressed it, to discuss the best interests of the producer and act accordingly. Among those present are George II, Van Vleck aud II. L. Taylor, Burlalo; J. L. and J. C. McKiouev, Titusville; M. Lowentritt, N. U. Clark, W. J. Young aud T. li. teimpsoD, Oil City j Fred. Aiker, Jamestown, and J. J. Carter, Titusville. A quiet weddiDg took place in our town yesterday afternoon, which was quite a pleasant surprise to most of Tionesta's poople. The hih con tracting parties were Mr. George W. Smith, a former resident of this place, and Miss Eva Brownell, the accom plished daughter of landlord Brow nell of the Central House. The Re publican joins heartily in the general congratulations and best , wishes of their friends, and hopes dial their fu ture may be a lmppy find prosperous one. Editorial talent of Tionesta is now sending articles to Oil City papers aud then reproducing them iu their own. Kepler's National. Who can this be? Certainly not Kepler or any of his scabs, fur the Oil Ciiy papers are too high up in the scale of respectability to admit any thing coming from so disreputable a source as that. By-the-way, that sort of thing would be something after Kepler's plan of sitting in his office and writing letters flora the country p 11 fling himself and his paper. Pleasantville Record: "The Tio nesta Gas Co. has concluded arrange ments for laying their lines into Tid ioute and that (own will Assume a comfortable appearance when the days grow chilly. This same blessing might be secured for our village, should our citizens exercise a liberal amount of eDlhusiasm. Charls Davis, of Tio nesta, is spending a few days visiting friends in Pleasantville. Mrs. Jas. Fosba, of Third street, who has been a -sufTerer for many months, from Brights disease, is now reported very low, with little hope of recovery." Mr. Fosba and family were former residents of Forest county. Tbe Forest Republican, J. E. Wenk, editor, published at Tionesta, Pa., came to us last week enlarged and otherwise improved. It is a jour nal that borest county can feel proud of. The enterprising editor was one of the efficient clerks of the late Leg islature, and this improvement ex plains where a part of the boodle which killed the Revenue bill went. Murder will out ! Keystone (Franklin Co.) Gazette. Bro. Fisher, too, was a clerk in the transcribing room, and without doubt the best that has occupied the place for many years. However, it is very naughty in him to seek , to divert at tention in the wrong direction on tbe "stop thief" plan. Ye3, very naughty in you, James. The report of oil operations for July imparts a sauguine hue to the situation and is good fodder for the bulls. Compared with the June report, there is n decrease of 2,020 bbls. new production, 10 more dry boles, and 7 less drilling wells. During July 159 wells were completed, with 2.0G8 bbls. new production. There are 135 drill ing wells. With Lima oil no longer in the market as a competitor, with the prolific pools all defined and the gushers ceasing to gush, the field is pronounced by tbe Derrick to be "without a formidable bear feature." Franklin New. That reads all nice enough, but still she don't seem to boom. However, thank heaven for tbe way it looks, anyway. The annual campraeetiug of the Free Methodist Church for the Oil City district, will commence at Titus ville, Pa., August 17th and continue to the 24th. Rev. J. T. Michael, Chairman, has made arrangements so that all persons who pay full fare over tbe Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia Railroad iu going to the meeting will be entitled to return at one-third reg ular fare on August 2Gth. The re duction is for the one day only. If you expect to return on August 26, buy single trip, full fare tickets, to Titusville, and get a certificate from him on the camp ground, securing to you the one-third return rates. If you do not expect to return on that day, buy a round trip ticket. A correspondent of the Blizzard at Warren has the following; Tbe Cattaraugus aud Cornplantsr Indians are having a great time at Big Bend, on the Allegheny river, above Warren, it being their anuual fibbing. This is done in a curious way. A seine made of brush woven together is stretched across the liver, a rope attached to either end, aud about twenty braves start pulliug tbe seioe down stream, wading up to their waists. The squaws follow iu canoes splashing the water to assist in scaring tbe fish. At the lower end of the bend is a ritlle and here they have a pocket-shaped net into which the fish are driren and then s'peared. There were at least 00 hun dred Iudians engaged in the sport Monday and it was a novel sight. Sam Schell, who broke jail some time ago, was retaken in New Castle, and brought to this place yesterday aud again lodged in jail by deputy Sheriff, Bob Piper. Kchell aud the McCleary's, have beeu expensive to SherilT Wbeelock. After tbe people of Turkey City bad put up money for the Pittsburgh officers, in vain, Wbee lock made several trips, aud scut oth ers at bis own expense to make the ar rests, but failing to fiuj thorn. Scht-11'o recapture has cost him $25 reward to the New Castle people, as well as the expenses of Sheriff Piper. Clarion Democrat.

Tbe silk manufacturing industry in Pennsylvania has grown to very largo proportions. There are now no less than 23 mills in successful operation in dillcr ent sections of the State, many of them employing 100 bands each. Theilk mill at Meadville is one of the (inest equipped and arranged mills in this couutry. The works have a capacity for turning out from $1,200 to $I,;K) worth of silk per day, employ about 75 hands and have lately beon so pushed with work that it has been found necessary to run until 9 o'clock in the evening.

Doliois to collojt tho collateral inheritance tax on tbe estate of the late John Dultois.
