for fresh meat, and we have no doubt
that Tionesta will support a first-class
establishment of this kind.
The new bogus fve-cent nickels,
of which there are large number in
circulation. can be detected by an in
specton Of the motto "In God we
Trust" which is much lager on the
counterfeit than on the genuine. The
yellow color Of the counterfeit, caused
by the presence Of zinc, is also easily
noticeable.
From present indications the leaves
will all be out within the next ten
days, and then, we, Of this section, fat
ter ourselves that we have as fine
scenery just about here, as is generally
gotten up. If any Of our readers at
a distance think differently, let them
visit this section in couple Of weeks.
The Forest Brass Band has its in
struments. They arrived here on
Thursday of last week, and since that
that time there has been couple Of
meetings of the players, and much
wind has been manipulated into sound
through the horns. An additional
horn, and tenor drum have been sent
for by those having the matter in
charge.
Some trouble has occurred recently
in regard to the spring on the hill east
of Race street, which supplies Mr..
Clark's residence with water. It seems
that that the pipe carrying the water,
goes through the property Of other
prople, and that the person leasing the
spring and agreeing to furnish the wa
ter aC the house, has no right Of way
through the other properties. Hence
the difficulty. Much ire has been dis
played, and much taking done, but
no settlement has yet been arrived at.
How it will turn out we cannot say.
The Grove e. Wolcott well is
down through the third sand rock, the
whole depth of the well being 7S1 feet.
The third sand was 16 feet through.
, They will tube the we'll to-day Eve
write on Monday and commence test
ing tomorrow. The indications for a
good well are favorable, and the own
are confident that they will soon have
oil in such quantities as to cause an
excitement on the Sewers Farm. This
territory has been considered as nearly
sure, and we earnestly hope that it
may prove all that is expected Of it.

This order is increasing in numbers,
and its influence is felt by the commu-
nifty for good.
In consequence Of the late rains
the water in Tionesta creek was raised
some ten inches, which encouraged the
lumbermen on the creek to try a
"pond fresh" which they did on Sat
urday with some little success. We
have not heard the exact amount, but
suppose nearly fifty creek pieces were
run out to the mouth of the creek. A
jam took place at the bridge near the
mouth, and some fifteen pieces were
displaced and fastened against the
bridge Not much damage was done,
but considerable labor and trouble
will be required to right up the RATS.
Should we get a rise in the river we
will have one of the liveliest rafting
seasons that We have had for some
time.
Friday night last, while we were
resting our weary limbs and aching
brow upon our couch, we heard our
name audibly pronounced, and the
voice also said, "Get up, quick, and
I get your revolver, some one is trying
to break into the house we arose,
drew on our trOwsers and proceeded to
unearth cur revolver. We found the
pistol, but could find no cartridges,
and consequently were at the mercy OF
the burglars as far as that weapon was
concerned. However, just as we dis
covered our deienseless condition, we
