On bis way home yesterday he dropped into the Republican office long euough to say "how de do." He's the same geniel John as of old. It is reported that Gibson & Co , have struck a good well on top of the hill opposite the mouth of Fools Creek, in Howe township. It is said the sand has been penetrated only about 6 inches, and tbe first 18 hours the well flowed 100 berre'.s. It was struck on Tuesday of last week. The marriage of Mr. Joseph G. Richards of Mayburg, and Miss Nel lie Jackson, one of Forest county's successful school teachers, is set for this, Wednesday, evening, at the resi dence of Hon. Peter Berry, near Oil City. Our congratulations and best wishes are extended in advance to the happy young couple. -The philosopher of the Titusville World utters a very truth when he says that "thoee who have a good appe tite for turkey ou Thanksgiving Day, but do not have the turkey, have more occasion to give thanks than those who have tbe turkey but not the appetite. For the possessor of health every day of the year should be a Thanksgiving Day." Wilbur Grove returned yesterday with his crew of drillers from Clear field county, where they have been engaged fur tbe past four weeks iu putting dowu a test well for parties in that section. They got no oil, but struck a paying well of mineral water, which the owners propose to use in the propagation of a health resort in lien of an oil field.

The last of the boatmen who left here over two weeks ago are just returning, having encountered a good many obstacles on their way to Pitis burg high wind, low water, etc. but all got through without serious damage. Another nice flood came as a result of I ho rains of the past few days, which will allow of a geu eral cleariug up of all tbe boats and barges that were not in time to catch the previous flood. Tbe present rise ought to make a "coal flood" iu tbe Ohio, and allow the great fleets that have been tied up at Pittsburg all summer to get down to the lower markets, in which event there will be gcueral rejoicing all along the line.

Miles & Arm 1 strong. It. Tramps are getting entirely too numerous in these parts, scarcely a ; day passing I hat does not see a w hole 1 drove of them in town. This sur feit of bad rubbish' is accounted fur 1 by the fact that neighboring towns are adopting means to rid themselves of the nuisance, such as building pens with stone piles for the gentry to exercise their muscles upon, aud it might be well for Tionesta to adopt similar measures for their abatement. A good "hmd-out" has no terrors for tbe festive hobo. The boarding house connected with the lumbering plant of Collins & Siggios, on the headwaters nf Otter creek, Hickory township, and which is condticteJ by Charles Dolterer and his sister, Mrs. George Herring- ton, was totally destroyed by fire last Friday afternoon. The building was so quickly consumed that very little of the furniture or clothing was saved, Mrs. Ilerrington losing fifty dollars in mooey besides most of her clothes. We are without particulars as to cause of fire, or extent of Iocs. The down passenger traio which arrives here at 12:10 met with an accident betweeo Irvioeton and Thompson's that might have proved serious, but which, fortunately only resulted in an hour's delay of the traio. A broken flange ou a wheel of the hind truck of the smoking car threw the trucks off the track, and before tbe train could be stopped it had run several lods on the ties, bumping and jostling the passengers promiscuously, and for a time creatiug quite a pauic, but injuring no one. The disabled car was left, and the passengers transferred to the other coach. The statement has recently been made in several Sunday papers that Will Carleton is writing very little nowadays, aud slays al home "nurs- ng bis health." The statement is true with these exceptions: Mr. Carletnu writes more and leotures more than over, has just published a book of new poems, has a book of prose nearly ready for the press, is in perfect physical health, and has been so almost interruptedly for the past ten years. Mr. Carletou will deliver two lectures during institute week in this place, and should be heard by all who can possibly make it conven ient to attend. Orvie Metzger, a young man aged 21 years met with a paioful ac cident at the Fogle Farm, Harmony twp., on Monday of last week. He was running the engine at one of (he power houses on Col. Carter's place, when his clothing was caught by (he key of the engine fly wheel and to tightly wound up that the engine wns stopped. The youog man was throwu in such a manner as to break one of bis legs between the hip and knee, and was otherwise badly bruised. His cries brought help in time to perhaps save bis life, as the steam was rising fast and the engine would Soon have been under motion again. During his short stay in towu last week, Editor Shick, of the Ma rienville Expres, was thus impressed with the place: "Behind J. Scott Bell's sorrel driver we made a trip lo tbe county seat the first of the week, our first trip to that lown siuce be coming a resident of ForeBt county. We found Tionesta a pretty resideuce town, built along the river, with one street a mile and a half in length lined with neat residences aud busi ness places. The town has several good hotels, (where the large crowd of Marienville people who were down attending court wete housed and well fed and cared for), two good print- iog offices, good stores, an excellent carriage shop, and best of all for the town the county buildings. The court house, although not a new building, is substantial aud comfurta ble, and the contractors bave just completed a very substantial jail and sheriff's cesidence that cost the county about $16,000 aud is a build ing that every citizen and taxpayer of Forest county cau poiut to aod speak of with pride. In a week or two we will print a cut and descrip tion of the new jail. We had always beard Tionesta spoken of as a 'sleepy town,' but there were enough people down from Marienville this week to give tbe place some appearance of lite, aud we enjoyed our snort visit. Death of au ENtimablc Lutly. Alter an illness of about four weeks, Mrs. Mary E. Landia died at hor home In Barnett Twp., Forest Co., Pa., of ty I'hoid fever, on Oct. 81, 18U5, aged 45 years, 7 months and S days. She wan born March 23th, 1850, her maiden name being Mary E. Deford, and was united iu marriage with Joseph R. Landia, March 18th, 18(19. She has been a member of the M. E. church for a number of yoaia, and died with tbe blessed assurance of a Heavenly borne. She leaves a mother, a husband, and six children, together with a boat ol relatives and friends, to mourn ber death, and an bho peacefully passed away ahe requested her friend to meet her on the brighter shore, where death and parting ate no more. Her remains were laid to rest iu the Claringtou cem etery, Nov. 2nd, 1MW5. the KUV. Mr, lb ton 0 CtHclating at tbo imfal. 1.1 i-. '.',.-.....:. 1 il Et B ;KE Forest County's Hew J ail o We present to our readers this ty Jail and Sheriff's dwelling. an Adequate idea of the real proportions and dimensions of the structure, it will serve to aid in LOCATION OK THE 1IUII.UINII. The structure is located about fifty feet north of the Court Houho, and on a front lino even with it, facing Elm street. It is built of brick with stone trimmings, and rests upon an excellent stone foun dation. The Sheriff's dwelling Is ol a fiine stylo of architecture, and presents a splendid appearance both in respect to beautv and solidity. The fail, which is at the rear on the east side, is constructed on the latest improved plans for prison ers. All plana for institutions of the character must be submitted to the State Board of Charities for its approval, and tho first plans submitted by the Commis sioners were reiected. The plan of this was accepted, and It is the only one of the kind in the State, conforming to all the requirements of heat, light and san itation. So perfect is the plan in every detail that not a single inch of room is wastod, and the symmetry of the wholo structure without and within must be pleasing to the most aesthetic eye. THE JAIL. The jail proper is thirty-three feet eight inches by forty-two feet eight inches, and, save the iron bars that stretch across the windows on the three sides, would scarcely be thought suflioient to restrain 4 the characters that are at times confined in a prison. But when one steps inside the outer corridor of the jail his views quickly change. The brick walls he saw from the outside are only a kind of ve neering, as it were, and have practically nothing to do with keeping the prisoners in. They might rather be thought of as more to keep the prisoners' frierds O'lt. Inside this brick enclosure, and surrounded by a four foot corridor on ev ery side, Is a large steel burglar-proof cage, with upper and lower tiers. Each tier has a corridor six by twenty-four feet through the middlo from east to west, di viding the large cage into six smaller ones, three 011 each side. These smaller cages are eight by fourteen feet and are separated from each other by solid steel partitions. This, as will be seen, gives twelve cages six on each tier. The ends of the cages next to the central corridor are composed of steel bars, as are also tho ends opposite; the partitions only being solid. Tills affords light, air and heat. Tho upper tier is arranged a little dif ferently. The outer corridor is removed, thus giving more room in each of the cells, which are closed in front giving more pri vacy to the inmates. These upper cells are intended for women and boys, and prisoners that could not be classed with criminals. The furnishing of these cells are rather more comfortable and conven ient than the others, to suit tho class of prisoners that will be confined in them. The upper tier is completely isolated from the lower tiers by a thick cement floor, thefloor of the corri dor being composed of iron and glass which admits light to the lower corridor. The floor of the lower cells consists of about eight inches of concrete, that is harder to dig through than stone, and 011 top of this is a solid sheet of half-inch steel. Water lor washing and drinking purposes is supplied to each cell on the upper tier, but in the lower it is fur nished at the oml of the central oorridor, and can only bo operated by an attend ant. There is not a particle of wood within reach of the prisoners in the lower tier, evon tho bed or bunk is of iron, fastened by hinges ou the partitions and swung into position by chains. All the steel in the jail is of the finest quality and is so tempered as to defy the drill, file or saw. The entrance to the jail is from the south side next the court house, w here one passes from a very neatly construc ted porch into a small room known as the Sheriff 'a reception room. From this a large, heavy wooden door, with its massive lock admits one into the outer corridor of tho Juil, which is lour feet wide and extends around the entire cage, between it and the walls of the jail. In to this corridor the prisoners are never admitted, being used only by the at tendants, from which they cau have a full view of every part of each cagA and from which also tho prisoners' meals are -Miles & Armstrong are head quarter for overcoats, ulsters, dressy suitf ami furnishings When you can't find what you want go to tbem.

This entirely prevents the escape of prisoners by overpowering tho jailer and using his Keys, which so frequently happens. A prisoner once placed Inside the large cage is never outside of it, nor does the keeper need to go inside. The lock on the cage, or of the door of the central corridor of the cage, is by no means the least interesting part. The locking apparatus, which la a r-omblna- tion, Is at the one aide of the door en closed in a small case. It is so arranged that when the door of this case is closed the door of the cage is locked and it can not be unlocked nor opened until the door of this case is opened. The door of this case is also well locked thus pre venting any one from meddling with it. In this case there is also an arrangement by which each cell door is opened or locked, so that there is never any occa sion for any .one to enter the corridor, which being 6x24 feet, furnishes abund ant space in which the prisoners may take exercise. A stairway leads up from the Sheriff's reception room to a landing at the entrance to the corridor of the up per tier of cells, which is 28 ft. 10 by 38 ft. 2. THE SHERIFF'S DWKLI.INO. The Sheriff's dwelling faces Elm street, and is entered through a handsome porch that opens into a large hall. This hall leads back to the Sheriff's reception room, hot is shut off from it by a door, ho that the jail and dwelling are practi cally separate. To the right, upon entering the hall, a door opens into a parlor eleven feet six Inches by fourteen feet two inches. To the left is the dinning room fourteen feet by fifteen feet five inches, and hack of this, on the east side. Is a kitchen twelve feet one inch by thirteen feet two inches, floor of hard maple, with a large pantry attached. Leading up to the second floor is a handsome stair case of easy ascent with banisters and posts all of hard-wood and beautifully finished. On the second floor are four commodious and wll lighted chambers and a bath room. Iu the attic are two more bed rooms of good size and pleasant. The wood work in side is of Georgia pine throughout, nat ural grain, with highly polished hard finish. Tbe basement, which is large, contains a laundry thirteen feet six Inches by twenty-eight feet ten inches, with water attachments, and tbe furnace, of the latest and best make, with which both jail and dwelling are heated. Nat ural gas is used for heating purposes and city water is used throughout the build ing. The 4 rounds around bave been graded and terraced, and walks of Cleveland stone bave bsen laid. Altogether this new addition to the county buildings presents a most pleas Ing appearance. Architecturally it Is a real ornament, and a credit to'tlie county. As a place in which prisoners may bo kept in security and receive humane teatmenl it meets with all the require menu of the nineteenth century prison reforms, and it is so substantially built with the very best of available material of the kiud used that it will stand for generations. Tbe total cost of the entire structure, including the grading of the grounds, walks, etc., will not exceed 116,000. The erection of a new Jail bad become an absolute necessity, and had been rec ommended by many grand juries. Last winter tbo present board of County Com niie sioners set about to obtain plans and make preparations for it. After careful investigation they accepted the present plans, and tbe beautiful, substantial and serviceable structure that has just been finished proves tbe wisdom of their course. The contract ttr the construction ol the building was let to the Van Dorn Iron Works Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, and by that company was sub let to W. L. Corriii, of Oil City. Mr C. has faithfully performed bis work, and to the minutest detail has fulfilled the exacting requirements of the original plana and specifications, the result being the completion of a jail which, competent judges declare, surpasses anything of the kind iu the State.
