then comes down town, miDgles with
a crowd, and shortly begins to fold up
the end of his nose. Some one notices
him at it, and propounds the conun-
drum: "Why that heavenward tenden-
cy of the nasal organ ?" The nose
twister answers that he smells feet. He
is then told that it is probably the
efluvia from his cwn worm-killers
that strikes his proboscis, whereupon
the party of the first part offers to bet
the cigars, soda water, or whatever
else happens to he for sale, that he has
the cleanest feet of the two. The 9th.
er takes the bet. Umpires and smell
ers are appointed, and feet stripped.
The party of the second part is always
beaten. because first party has washed
his feet the recently-est. Is there any
other nice little game that can he
made to pay cigars and drink for those
who are indisposed to buy their own? !?
Fetch 'em on, and we'll air 'em.
On Monday evening, a week ago
after our paper was made up, and part
ly pressed of, the following occurred,
and we consequently did not get it in
last weeks paper:
Some time during the night some
thieves gobbled several shirts off the
clothesline of G. d. Mabie; entered
the cellar of VIM. p. Neill, and eat up
several pies, leaving the plates, took
away several loaves of bread and some
garden truck !" from thence they went
across to the depot, entered the freight
house by breaking window, and got
away with 500 "toby" cigars. There
we're number of higher priced ones
in the the room, but the thieves evi-
IDENTIFY had no light, and were probably
in hurry. No clue to the pe,petra-
tors has been found. If ever any one
Is caught stealing in this section, we
wouldn't give five mills on the dollar
for his carcass.
-Wm. G. Schofeld, of Philadelphia
sends us another years subscription,
and, among other things, says he would
like to hear oftener from the old part
of the county. We should like to ac-
commodate Mr.. Schofeld, as we'll as
the rest of our readers. by lively COM
munications from every part of the
county, but we have the misfortune to
have correspondents who can not spare
time to write about every item of in
terest that transpires. We hope to be
able before many weeks to present our
readers with live communications from
all over Forest every week. We have
interesting letter from Fort Pitt this
week, and hope our correspondent
there will keep us duly posted of all
that transpires there.
A large well has been struck at
Enterprise, which produced 80 barrels
when started, and produces about 100
barrels per day now. 1t is owned by
I. V. 5. Morean. A mortgage on the
farm on which this well is situated is
held by Mrs. Riddle of this place, and
it may eventually prove a paying
thing for her. z. T. Shriver of this
place has lease on Mrs. Riddles farm
which joins the farm where the big
well is and we hope to hear of his get.
ting well similar to the MOrean we'll.
Several wells at Enterprise have been
pumping from 5 to 10 barrels for about
five years, and the striking Of this big
one is surprise to all. II. A. Burt,
formerly of this place is interested in
some wells there.
1t will be noticed by an advertise
ment in another column, that some
party or other has relieved our friend
Seldom Whitman, of two horses. This
is hard blow 60 Mr.. Whitman, as he
is hard working man, and is not able
to lose so much at once. We hope
that an organization of a Horse Police
force will be had in our county for the
protection Of horses &c. against thieves
We have noticed that whenever sucl
an organization exists that thieve:
give them a wide berth. No one knows
whose horses will go next, and it is tc
the interest of all who own horses to
make move in the matter. We sim
cerely hope that Mr.. Whitman's horses
may be returned to him in good condi
tion, and the thieves brought to jus
tice.
