Alfred Ellsworth, son of Henry

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

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

accommodations, and were well cared
for by the good people of the Hill
Gillespie and Sons were indefatigable

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

M. Lowentritt, N. U. Clark, W. J.

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

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

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."

enough, but still she don't seem to

The annual campraeetiug of the
Free Methodist Church for the Oil

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.
