Cooksburg, this county. When he has
an exhibition we propose to go out
there and see it. .... ..-.
Rev. +. d. McCreary and family
arc in town at present on visit They
stop at DR.. Winans', being related in
some way or other to him, we believe
Mr.. McCreary leaves for his charge ia
Garfield, Ohio, this week, and his wife
and children may stay hers for a month
or so.
w. j. Roberts is laying stone
wall around his lot preparatory to ELL
ing and leveling it up. He informs us
that he proposes to build two story
frame dwelling house this season on
the same lot, but not on the same spot,
on which his present residence stands.
We are glad to note such evidences of
Improvement in cur town. fu.
The case of Mcbride VS.. Wagner,
which has been on trial in Franklin
during the past week, and which has
been exciting so much comment
throughout the oil regions, was con-
cluded on Saturday last A verdict
wRs returned, allowing her damages in
the sum of $4,000. Judging from the
evidence produced, she would rather
have been Bride, without cent, than
a Mcbride with $4,000.
John L. Dale, who has been here
on visit for some time took his depar-
ture for his homein Wisconsin, Monday.
He has lost flesh in this country, and
we believe goes back some thirty
pounds lighter than when he came, and
he thinks he could stand some more
tightening yet. His weight now is
about $50 lbs. in his stockings. He is
good company, and will be missed by
his acquaintance here.
Rev. s. S. Burton and Jno. L.
Dale had "bee" in the old Methodist
church yard, one day last week, try
ing to remove the elders and other
bushes off some of the graves, SO that
the resurrection might come easier to
those lying there. They expected help,
but none came, and all the wo,k that
was accomplished, was done by them.
The state of this resting place of the
dead is crying shame against the liv-
ing of our place, and We hope soon to
have it to record, that it has been put
in better shape.
The order Of Good Templars is
steadily increasing in the place. Initia-
tions take place at nearly if not quite
all their meetings. We believe that
this institution has done more for the
morals of Tionesta than any other or.
ganization in it. The Temple of Hon.
or, also, although yet young, is helping
forward the good work, rapidly, and
gaining in membership aud influence.
Both these institutions are calculated
to make any community better, where
they may be in existence. We hope
to see the day that no strong drinks
can be had in Tionests,
Casper Isert, a resident of Dutch
Hill, was knocked down and robbed of
81 one highs last week, on the back
channel road in Tionesta. He was
struck, or thought he was, with bill
ly," and relieved Of his pocket book,
from which the money was taken, after
which the wallet was handed back to
him with the words, Take it and 60
to h-lli" He took it and went home,
where he has been laid up ever since,
from the effects of the blow which lie
received. He thinks he can identify
|
the parties, and we fervently hope he
can, when there will be some hopes OF
ridding our town Of some of the indi-
viduals who confer no particular hon.
or upon it.
