Dr. Cook of Buffalo, has been in town since Saturday, summoned by the serious illness of his brother-in-law, J. D. Davis. Jack Frost was "in it" agnin in this section last night and the night before. The fruit crop stands a poor chance of weathering these snaps. The Free Methodist society of this place organized a Sabbath School last Sabbath. The election of officers and teucbera was deferred till next Sabbath. District Attorney Clark has had the building next his residence nicely fitted up and now occupies the same as a law ufEce. It makes a very cozy law joint. Frauk Hodges, Mr. Henry's obliging assistant iu the nieat market, has moved here from Tidioute and will occupy part of Mrs. Joseph Grove's house. The Hardison well at the depot was again abandoned on Satuiday last, having reached a depth of G50 feel. She steadily refuses to respond with the grease. The Lampblack Factory at Gil foyle, and a shingle mill and two or three d Willing houses, located on Spring Creek, this County, were burn ed by forest fires on Sun iay last. Henry Shoemaker let a railroad tie fall on his left thumb a day or twp ago, mashing it (the thumb) badly back to ihe first j'jint, aud making a very painful wound. The tie escaped iujury. David Barnett unveiled his show windows yesterday morning, and open ed his large new store to the public.

Preparations are making by Stow Post, and its faithful auxiliary the W. R. C, of this place for a filling ob servance of Memorial Day. This will be the first participation of tho Corps in these exercises, and will lend addi tional interest to the occasion here ibis year. Jas. D. Davis has been very se riously ill since last Friday, when he was attacked with violent hemorrhage of ihe boweh. For a time his physi cians had little hope of his recovery, but are much pleased wilb the progress he has made in the past 43 hours, and hope to have their patient out in a few days, in which hope Jim's many anxious friends join. Forest Cres have been raging, in the surrounding country during the past week. Over on Hemlock creek ihe Crc4 have been quito destructive, burning down five or six of the gas well derricks owned by the Standard in that vicinity. The Tionesta com pany had one derrick burned down, but as connections had been made with their other wells Ihe flow of gas was not much interfered with. The members of the Women's Relief Corps No. 137, are all request ed to be present at Corps meeting, Wednesday eveniug, May 20. Busi ness of speciul importance to be tran sacted. By order of President, Mrs. C. C. Rumbebgeh. Mks. E. L. Davis, Secretary. Our townsman, lion. J, B. Agnew was, on the lllb inst., admitted to practice as an attorney before the United States Supreme Court, on mo tion of ex-Attorney General Garland. Mr. Agnew, we believe, is the first native of Forest county to be admitted to the highest court of onr land. The firm of Pettis & Agnew has already a large list of suits entered for claims aggregating nesrly"rTalf a million of dollars. Fish stories be fish stories tbe world over, but occasionally there comes along one whicji the editor must swallow without a grimace, not even asking for a smell of the pan after the crisp little cusses have been lifted out and devoured. Rev. Rumberger and Druggist Doult counted and weighed their siring, caught on Fork Run Monday, with this result: One hun dred and twenty; weight, eight pounds and Iwo ounces. Bogus coffee is in the market iu large quantities, it is reported. It is made of some kind of gritty paste, moulded iu exact imitation of tbe natural berry, and so like it in color, either green or browned, as to be indistinguishable even to many ex perls. Its profit to unscrupulous dealers is that it is heavier than the natural berry and cheaper, aud can be profitably mixed with the genuine. Franklin AW. Court convenes next Monday, and promises quite a lively week of it. The first puzzler with which the Judges will be asked to wrestle is the license question, which comes up on Monday. After that the Sbippen trial will likely be the first called, and in all proba bility will occupy the greater portion of tbe week in its disposal. The at tendance of jurors, witnesses aud suitors is apt to swell the crowd in town very materially. The second contest for a Detn orest Silver Medal will be held in the Presbyterian Church, beginning at 8 p. in. this evening. Doors will be opened at half past seven, and as we advised you at the former contest, if you wish a seat, secure it early, bringing with you ten cents or more to deposit in the basket for the pur pose of advancing this method of educaling our young folks. Good music will interline the program. Messrs. Dingman & Dale are get ting their large lie j b at the mouth of little Tionesta pretty w'ell whipped, Messrs. Carr and Shoemaker having their contract of delivering them to Oil City by water well on toward com pletion. This was the largest single purchase of lies that bus been con summated in this section since the in dustry has been carried on, tho num ber being upward of twenty thousand, and these wide-awake gentlemen must have realized handsomely on the deal. Though the Delaware peach crop is reported to be considerably dam aged, the crop io the South Mountain peach belt is said to have weathered the recent cold snap very well, one big grower saying that if no greater damage is sustained than has thus far been developed, he will have to thin out fully one half of the crop upon those of his peach trees that are in bearing. Now let consumers settle back contentedly with visions of peaches as big as bowls, in their heads. St. Commissioner Hood gives no tioe tn taxables that he will commence his street work at ouce, and wishes it understood that all who have taxes to work out must come out promptly or send substitutes. Heretofore the work on our streets has lagged pretty much all through the summer and sometimes away iniu the fall, simply because tax ables seemed to think they could take their own time to kucb matters and do their work when it suited their con venience. Mr. Hood has given a bond to faithfully and expeditiously attend to this work and the Council propose to bold him strictly accounta ble; therefore, in justice to himself and to the borough he will deal as strictly with those whose duty it is to work out their road taxes, and there will be no favoritism shown whatever.

WASTED 100,000 LATH I The undersigned wishes to buy 100,000 plaster lath, delivered at Em leuton, Pa., by water. Correspondence with parties handling lath by river solicited. Address 3t.' Ukiau Sloan, Emleoton, Pa. Rev. R. W. Hawkins, of Olean, N. Y., for several years Chairman of this Conference of the Free Methodist Church, has withdrawn from that de nomination and has connected himself with tbe Wesleyan Methodist Church. On Sunday, 3d inst., he preached in the Wesleyan Church at Valley Fur nace, Sugarcreck township, and also has appointments to preach for the same denomination in Oil City. Rev. R. W. Hawkins bas recently published a work to which, it is said, Ihe digni taries of the Free Methodist Church take exception, and which they pro pose to make a subject of discipline in the General Conference. This, it is said, is Rev. Hawkins' prime reason for making tho change. He is an able man, and one who would not hesitate to take a radical step to avoid trouble or dissension in tbe Christian fold. , Franklin Nem. Governor Pattisou's recommen dation as to the disposition of the di rect tax money is an eminently wise one, and Representative Taggart does well to bring in a bill at once to carry out the Governor's suggestions. This tax imposed by the Federal Govern ment was taken out of the general funds of the Slate neatly a generation ago, and, to meet tbe shortage thus entailed and pay other way expenses, a debt was incurred, part of which is still outstanding. Tho natural and proper disposition of the tax returned is to use it toward tbe extinguishment of the debt which it caused. In this way it goes to pay the expenses of the generation which raised the money now restored to tbe State. The steady diminution of the State debt is ex tremely gratifying, and tho direct tax windfall will materially advance the date, now not very far distant, of its dial extinction. I'hila. Prest. TERRIFIC FOREST FIRES. Seventy Men Hemmed In by Flames, aud at Least a Dozen Perish. A dispatch from Coudersport, Potter county, uuder date of May 11th, gives the following details of the fearful holocaust that has been raging in that vicinity for the past three days: To night the pretty little lumber aud farming towua of Austin, Costel lo, Galeton and Moore's Run are on the verge of a panic, two especially being threatened with annihilation from fires that seem to form an impen etrable wall on every side. For sev eral days past the skies have been lighted with fires, appareutly in every direction, but little fears were enter tained by people living iu tbe towns. In spite of every effort, however, the flames crept steadily towards the towns. At Moore's Run, on the Siu neruahoning road, a train load of 75 men, sent out from Austin last night, had been fighting back tho fire by every conceivable meaus, but were fiually obliged tu retieat. Tho men hastily boarded tbe train aud started to make a run to another point, when it was founJ they were hemmed in by the forest fire on one side, aud a huge skid way of logs on the other. It was finally decided to dash past tbe burn ing skidway. As the blazing furnace of logs was approached, the heat be came unbearable and the smoke so blinding and stifling, tbe men were obliged to cover their mouths wilb clothes. Just opposite the millions of feet of bumiug logs, where tbe heat and smoke and flames were the great est, a terrible thiug occurred. Tbe engineer had forgotten that such great beat would surely spread the rails, and he pulled the throttle wider in the hope of sooner escaping from a tor ment of heat aud smoke. Then there was a lurch, an ominous heaving, and a shriek of despair as the train top pled over in the hell of fire beneath. A scene ensued never to be forgotten by those who escaped, though every man will bear to his grave a mark of that awful moment. The cars caught fire like so many paper playthings, and the men withiu, balf blinded and scarcely realiztug anything except that they were being slowly roasted to death, struggled fearfully to regain the track, where safety lay, for a time at least. Those uninjured from the fall and only smarting from the pain of the intense heat, bravely turned their burned, blackened hands to aid their more unfortunate fellows. At this hour, it is impossible to secure de tails, though enough is known of the scene that followed the hurling of the struggling mass of men into the fur nace of flame, to say its like had never occurred before, Supt. Badger, of the Sinoemahoning Valley Road, in charge of the relief train, aud bad worked the hardest of all to save tbe properties of others, hen the train ditched and rolled over so suddenly, he must have been injured to as to be unable to help himself, and owing to the smoke and panic be was Lot found until too late jammed in the wreck be had evidently slowly burned to death. At this time 9:30 it is known that six others also miserably perished at once, or died soou after, and 30 others of the party were badly burned, many probably fatally, owing to the fears that they inhaled the flames that seemed to fairly spring into their faces. Seven others of the party are missing and their fate is unknown, though they are likely in the charred wood of the logs or train. Owing to the great devastation done to everything in the way of the fire, communication is badly interrupted, and It is impossible to learn tbe names of the men burned, or those still miss ing. As to the damage, it is known 40,000,000 feet of hemlock logs and timber, and 25,000 cords of valuable bark has already been destroyed, and the fires are raging without any appre ciable diminution. Late dispatches from Austin confirm former reports. Tbe body of the Su perintendent has been found burned to a crisp. Tbe entire party would have perished in the burning train or forest fire had they not itnmersod themselves in a creek. The fires have been rag ing 48 hours ; 12 solid miles of lumber in one district havo already been burned, and the end is not yet. Stewarts Rnn. We had quite a frost here last night, and I am afraid the fruit in the valleys will be hurt, at least. Jas. Mclntyre's well, which we spoke of last week, is doing about 4 barrels, first sand.

There will be a basket social at tbe Jackson school bouse, Thursday eve ning, handy the Temperance House. Some of our people attended Sab bath school at the above Bchool house last Sabbath. Mrs. Dodd, of N. Y. City, has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Dawson for a few days. Archie Zihniser, whom we mention ed last week as being sick, is able to be uround again. Mrs. J. M. Vanderlin visited friends on tbe Run last week for a few days. Mr. Hutchinson and family have moved into one of Mr. J. I. Range's houses. Mrs." Herring, of Pleasantville, vis ited her brother and sister, R. J. Cope land and Mrs. Clara Metcalf, last Sabbath. We just now hear that Jas. Mcln tyro intends drilling another well right away, and cleaning out an old one. May you get a gusher, Jame?, is our best wish. Dewitt, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. U. 8. Zahniser, got his finger quito badly mashed a few days ago by getting it caught in the shuttle-earlier of a machine. Rev. Brcnnan preached an able sermon last Sabbath at the White Church. May 12.

An exchange remarks that a man can start out any day in tho week and Inside of an hour and thirty minutes he can en gage a woman to work for him for life at nothing per weok, while it will take two weeks of solid search to got one to work at fair wagos and board, with throe nights out and a fire for a beau two nights a week. And then talk oi marriage being a failure! A bill is now pending In tho State Sen ate, authorizing the voluntary retirement, on full pay, of any Pennsylvania Judge who served twenty-tive yoars in judicial ofilee and attained thn age of seventy years. This pensioning civil officers Is all wrong. Our judges get from $4,000 to $7,000 a year salary. A prudent man can save enough in twenty-five years to keep him after be is 70. The mistake made by most bridal couples, when sitting for a photo, said a talkative photographor, is that they insist on wearing white gloves-. White on a dark background, always shows much larger In proportion than it should, so tho young man who stands beside his bride is astonished to find that his photograph represents him with hands the size of a 5-pouud ham. The moral is: Don't wear white, but black gloves, while tho camera Is eyeing yon. The story of "our motto" may be told over again now that the Mint has invited artists to submit new designs for the standard silver dollar, and also tho smaller silver pieces. Not until 1864 when the war was nearly over, did the United States of America say "In tlod We Trnst," and the motto first appeared upon a two-cent piece. A clergyman suggested it to Sec retary Chase, of the Treasury, thinking that as our country made no mention of the Deity in its Constitution it ought to recognize it In some way, and Mr. Chase acquiescod so far as the two-cent piece was concerned. The first Ideas awakened by tho good clergyman's admonition wore "Our Country," "Our God," "Our Trust." Mr. Chase boiled these down, and "In God We Trust" was the result. The two cont piece is no longer made, but the mot to now appears on all the larger coins. A great unexplored cave was recently found near Clarion, which emits a sort of blue fog, chill as from a powerful re frigoiator. A pail of wator suspended at a depth or 10 feet was drawn up after 4 hours and lound to be almost a solid cake of ice. As far as known no living animal could remain in the opening for more than a few minutos. The mystery will be un- ravullod as soon as some adventurous being can be found willing to go down and see where all this cold is manufac tured. It boats a cold storage company all hollow, and snakes will not sock this retreat. What an admirable place for tho man who gets hot under the collar when he gets loft in a contost. It is thought that the bung of this cool resort was pull ed a few months ngo for a freezing out purpose. And this may account for the weather that exists. Clarion Jacksonian.
