The bottom seems to bave drop

The Tionesta society sent a good

vor societies of the surrounding towns
last evening. Oil City, Franklin,
Pleasantville and Neilltown were
well represented. Miss McElhoes,
who presides over the band of little
"Juniors" here, read an essay before
the convention.
From those who have been there,
we learn that there is a kindlier
feeling subsisting between the teach-
rs aor? the pupils of the Clarion
Normal School than is usual in such
nstitutions. You hear little carping,
riticism or fault Coding. Teachers
meet students on terms of equality
and friendship. The students recip
rocate by good conduct and faithful
ffort.
County Treasurer Jamieson and
F. Ritchey, Esq., represented Tio
nesta Lodge at the banquet given by
Marienville Lodge, I. O. O. F., last
Wednesday evening. They report a
royal time among the brethern, and a
reception and welcome most hearty
and cordial. The bad condition of
the toads kept a larger number of
Tionesta members of the order from
attending.
Gas was at a premium Monday
evening and some fouud it necessary
to resort to kindling wood in order to
get a warm supper. 1 he trouble was
caused by a burst in the high pres-
ure line down along the creek hill,
where Messrs. Morgan and Moody
are taking out timber, a stick oi
which struck the pipe, it being un
covered. The danger from that
source will soon be removed, lor when
these gentlemen get through with the
tract it will be stripped.
Of all the handsome exebauges

Our readers will doubtless recall
an item in our Marienville correspond
deuce of a couple of weeks ago, giv
ing au account of an attempt to
bum down the large school building
at that place. Since then tbecitizeDS
have on several occasions been borri
fied to find evidences of similar at
tempts in differeut localities of the
town. A sharp watch was iostitu
ted, and on Sunday evening the guil
ty one was caught while in the act of
trying to set fire to Ross Boyd's
house. On the same evening, shortly
after dark, attempts were made to fire
the dwellings of S. Alsbaugh and H.
II. Heusel, all having been discover
ed ia time to prevent conflagration.
The guilty party proved to be a boy of
about 14 years, named William Low

and rt-soectable parents. lie was

Indian Attempt 1o Capture Oil City
A Harriaburg dlRpatch to the Derrick
says : There called upon Governor Patti
aon to-day an old Soneca Indian Chiof
named Solomon Abbell, from Warren
county, a deacendent of the famous ohlof
Cornplanter, whoae people owned valua
ble landa In southern New York and
northwentern Pennsylvania, and whose
descendenta yet linger on the reservation
at Salamanca, N. Y. Solomon callod to
present to the Governor his claim for 60
acres of ground on the spot aow occupied
by Oil City, Venango county. He was
accompanied by an interpreter, Mr. Lo
gan who assisted him in the pow wow
with the Governor, and the latter assured
him that his claims would be investiga
ted. Like all good Indians who call on
the "Great Father" he wanted his fare
paid home and he got It.
In relation to the above, and as a de
fense of their right to hold fast that which
they have, the Derrick publishes the fol
lowing ''brief of title:" In the county
archives is found a record that the eaat
side of Oil City was owned by Cornplan
ter, chief of the Seneca Indians as his
own personal property and given to him
by the government In 1796. He hold it
until May 20, 1818, when he sold It to
William Connoly, of Venango county
and to William Klnnear, of Centre coun
ty, for $2,121. Counely resold his half of
the purchase to Cornplanter in October of
the same yoar and for a suit for a debt
thus incurred it was sold by sheriff's
sale November 22, 1810, to Alexander
McCalmont, of Franklin. Five years la
ter this half was sold to Matthias Stock
berger and on June 25, Stockberger,
Kinnear and Richard Noyes became
partners in the erection of an iron fur
nace, foundry and mill, with houses,
steam boat landing and ware houses at
the east sida of the mouth of Oil Oreek.
Thus was founded the first settlement
here and was known as Oil Creek Fur
nace. On January 11, 1825, William and
Frederick G. Crary became partners in
the furnace business aud by September
19, bad absorbed the entire business. On
February 27, 1835, the property and land
was sold by Sheriff Aadrew McCaslln,
to William Bell. The latter and bis sons
operated the plant for 14 years but com
petition with the richer Lake Superior
mines forced them to close in 1844. The
Bannona lived In their deserted villiage
for years and on June 19, 1856 the Bell
heirs sold the property to Graff, Hasson
& Company, of which William Hasson of
this city was the principal partner.

Wm. Richards, the genial all-round
proprietor of the Cook lease, is making
lively times on the lease despite the fact
that all other points are howling bard
times, having just completed a two-bar-rel-an-hour
well at Mayburg. Timber Is
being taken out for well No. 64, which
will be drilled as soon as possible, with
prospects of dollar oil soon. We predict
that this territory will produce some
good wells.
Lumbermen are beginning to look
down their noses, and the mon with
teams are looking out for all the pros
pects or signs that may bring good sleigh
ing to get in the large amount of timber
that is ready to haul. Teams are in good
demand or will be as soon as we get a
days sledding.

probably Marienville. Hereafter the
troupe will be known as the "Forest

be safo in attending a dance. We deny
this in our most vigorous stylo, and any
one attending a dance will see for them
selves that they can have a good time.

NEWSY KOTES.
Thomas B. Glllouly Is the newly ap
pointed postmaster of Rldgway. Ho is
said to be one of tho popular young Dem
crats of the place.
The epicure of tha Franklin News says
it Is the fashion now to serve raw oysters
n tall, handled tumblers. A dressing of
pepper and salt, lemon Juice and Wor
cestershire sauce goes with them, and
they aro picked out with the long oyster
fork.
A new roller skate has been invented!
Each skate has two wheels with pneu
matic tires. It is claimed that on this
skate the adopt wearer can travel over
turnpike roads, up hill and down, at a
rate fully as rapid as on Ice with old
fashioned skates.
The postoffloe department has ruled
that parties answering "green goods" cir
culars and sending through the mail for
counterfeit money violate "the green
goods act" and are therefore liable to a
line not more than $500 and Imprison
ment not less than 18 months.
A young man giving his name as Low-
ry Pratt, was arrested In Punxsutawncy
last week as a counterfeiter. A few spu-
rljus coins were found on his person,
and a number of dies in bis satchel. Ho
is in the Brookvllle jail awaiting the sit
ting of U. 8. Court at Pittsburg.
The Supreme Court has recently de
cided that publication In a newspaper of
a notice of withdrawal from a bank part
nership does not relieve the withdrawn
from liability to those who had deposits
in the bank at time of withkrawal but
only relieves him from liability to those
who deposit afterwards. Tbis decision
affects all banks which are private part
nership, but does not affect stockholders
n incorporated banks, either State or
national.
A Kansas woman has found a solution
to the tramp question. She is police Jus
tice of her city, and a western paper tells
this story of her: "The first tramp who
was brought before her for judgment was
sentenced to two baths a day for ten days,
and to hard labor on tho stone pile, with
the order that he be fed if ho worked,
and starved if he shirked. The prisoner
survived the erdeal, but now the first
question a tramp asks on approaching a
Kansas town is whether the police judge
Is a man or a woman."
It is reported that the Slaughenboupts
of Porter township are likely to inherit a
share of the vast fortune that a deceased
relative named Reese left In Baltimore.
The report says that 280 acres were leas
ed for 99 years, and to return to the heirs
of Mr. Reese after the lapse of that lime,
and that now this property is worth
many millions of dollars. Geo. A. Jenks
is looking after their interests, and we
hope to learn of several millions coming
In to Clarion county through the Slaugh
houpt heirs. Clarion Jacksonian.
It cannot be called a little fraud, as it is
of too great value and Is not to blame for
being misused. Vick's New Branching
Aster when cut resembles the chrysan
themum so closely that only experts can
tell the difference, and as it comes into
flower six weeks before the "mums,"
and at a time when flowers are scarce, it
is a great temptation to the florist to sell
these Asters for "mums." The branch
ing Aster can be easily grown out doors,
and the seeds cost only 25 cents per pack
et, so that every person who has a foot of
ground can enjoy a grand treat for al
most nothing. If you want honest goods
send 10 cents to James Vick's Sons, Roch
ester, N. Y., for Floral Guide, it costs
nothing, as the 10 cents may be deducted
from first order.

The groat offer being made by the
Pittsburg Dispatch to take the sixty
teachers of Pittsburg, Allegheny and

additional inducement that the twelve
teachers of the sixty who receive the
largest number of voUis will be taken on
a supplementary trip to Philadelphia,
Now York aud Boston after the Atlantic

found that it was what I neoded. If I
got no relief from one dose I took anoth
