The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1871-01-31
O. C. q A. r r. TIME TABLE,
LOCAL AND MISCELLANEOUS.

M. p. jerks, Jeweller, of Mead
ville, Pa, is selling watches of all
kinds 20 per ceut. below prices. Now
is the time for bargains.
When are we to have another
bridge meeting?
Hon. G. w. Scofeld has our
thanks for complete set of the Con-
oressional Globe for I'd session of 41st
Congress.
&C. F. Gillespie, of Wing Hill,
dropped in on us the other day. Chris.
is good company, and we are always
glad to see the toes of his boots point
ing in at our door.
We are credibly informed that
the Western Union Telegraph Compa-
ny are making arrangements to open
telegraph office at this place, at early
day. A much needed improvement.
We publish on the first page of
to-day's paper, an essay read during
the Institute, by S, Irwin, Esq. S. d.,
being School Director of this bor-
ough, of course knows whereof he
speaks.
We understand that the enterpris-
ing managers of the o. G. & A. r. r.
and A. V. Ry. Co.'S, propose building
largo union depot and hotel at Oil
City, during the coming summer. We
hope so
Rev. Virtue, of Emlenton, will oc-
,cupy the pulpit of the Presbyterian
Church in this place next Sabbath.
We are informed that he is a most ex-
cellent preacher, and we have no doubt
but he will be greeted by a large con-
gregation.
THAT puff which we incidently
mentioned last week as forthcoming,
brought pass over the Pithole Valley
Rail Road. We would threaten sever.
al other officers of other railroads if
we thought it would have the desired
effect.
Teachers and others attending
the Institute expressed their apprecia-
tion of the music dealt by Prof Web
er and others. Supt Rohrer just let
him play right on, and never asked
thecongregation to "pay no attention to
his squawking." and rather appeared
to like it than otherwise.
II. B. Cobb favored us with short
call on Saturday of last week, and
gave us short account of the business
his firm was doing. He has gotten
nearly all his lumber out, on Coon
Creek, and has now sixty teams EN-
ployed on Toms Run. He seemed
hopeful, at that time that we would
have four or five weeks of sleighing
yet, but the prospects now are rather
dubious.
Several small riots have taken
place in our quiet and peaceful bor-
,ough during the past week, and are
occurring as we go to press. They
have become of SO little interest now
that folks don't expect to see any ac-
count of them in the papers. We mere
ly learn that the last fight closed with
oneof the parties receiving sounder
on the countenance, causing severe
hemmorage of the snoot. We have
not been obliged to thrash any one yet,
and don't wish to be obliged to.
"A wrestling match has been
agreed upon between j. II. McLaugh-
lin, of Titusville, and Nathan l.. Dor
rance, of Chicago. The Herald says
the match will come off in Titusville
on Saturday evening next Corinthian
Hall has been engaged and We have no
doubts or fears but that the Major can
and will retain the belt and the cham
pionship which he has won, and
retained in so many severe athletic
contests. He may, however, like other
heroes of other arenas, experience in
his own case the truth of the adage "the
race is not always to the swift nor the
battle to tho strong.
