AN Italian boy from the Emerald
Isle made his appearance in town on
Saturday last, with fiddle from which
he produced some heart.rending
sounds. Somebody please send us
around first-class hand-organ.
-Otho Winner, son of DIR. Winner,
informs us that the well on which be
is working, on Jamison Run, is down
to the third sand, striking it at about
360 feet. 1t will be tested this week,
and we will keep our readers posted
in regard to it.
We understand that Henry Matte
and Lizzie Ikenburg were united in
wedlock on Sunday last ON Dutch
Hill. We also hear Of another we'd
ding on the same day, up about there,
but can get no names. The notices
were not given us for publication, so
we have to quote from hearsay.
Grading and fencing are going on
at the old M. L. Church yard, and
hereafter the city of the dead may not
be the feeding place of our town
bovines. 1t is proposed, we believe to
put an iron fence in front, and when
finished it will improve the looks of
the church property.
The Clarion Democrat comes to us
enlarged to an eight-column paper,
printed on new Campbell Power
Press, which the proprietor has just
put in. The paper looks well and no
doubt will receive enough additional
support to make this paying invest

"A. II. Steele has moved his barn
up the hill piece, built new side
walks all around his house, put up a
neat coal and wood house, planted
trees, graded his lot, built some new
fence, marked out q lane from the
street to his barn, and made several
other needed improvements lately.
--Jno. r. Lowther, of the firm of
Ferd, Barndollor & Co., of Pueblo,
Colorado Ter, called on us last week.
The firm takes the Forest REPUBLICAN,
and gets it regularly. The firm deals
in real estate and cattle, and appears
to be doing good business. Mr..
Lowther promised to send us cor
respondence from Pueblo, which, when
published, will be read with interest
by our subscribers.
T. b, Cobb, Esq, met with
painful though not serious accident on
Friday evening of last week. He was
coming to town from the Coon creek
mill, in light buggy with his small
team on smart trot, when one of the
fore wheels struck a stump, and threw
Mr.. Cobb out and he struck his fore.
head on stone. He has black eve,
a peeled forehead, and stiff neck, but
will soon be all right again. The
horses being gentle, stopped as soon as
the accident occurred, else serious
damage might have resulted.
The Messrs. Cobb have just finish
ed a new steam mill about mile and
a half up Coon Creek, from their other
mill, which was set running last week.
They have also made arrangements to
lease two mills on Hemlock Creek,
above President. These mills, with
the one on Toms Run, Clarion coun-
ty, make five large saw mills they. are
running. They viii employ during
the summer months about 175 men on
an average, and in the winter an in
definite number. They are the most
extensive lumbermen in this region,
and deserve to be rich men if energy
and management will do it.
"A man named Brown, who was
working on a we'll on the Fair Farm,
had his leg broken above the ankle,
on Saturday last. II was caught in
the bull wheel, and compound
fracture was the result. A piece of
the bone protruded through the flesh
two inches, and the flesh had to be cut
about an inch and a half to enable it
to go back to its position. The small
bone was broken in three places. The
fracture was reduced by DIR. Winans,
of this place, who seems to feel un-
easy for the safety of the unfortunate
man. He calls there to-day, (Monday)
and will report his condition to us,
and perhaps we may be able to inform
our readers what his chances are for
recovery.
