night the rain continued to fall all
night, Notwithstanding the numerous
prophecies against it. On Wednesday
the creek and river we're up to good
rafting stage, and the trains both ways
brought in numbers of men who had
timber in the creek, pilots and hands
for all the various positions of raft.
Several RATS went off on Tuesday night
without pilots, and Wednesday some
few went out with full crews. A jam
above the bridge, caused by some
barges aud RATS getting crosswise Of the
channel against the piers, prevented
a great deal of lumber from being run.
A channel was at length opened on the
north side of the bridge by cutting in.
tO..creek pieces an Allegheny timber
raft, which could never have gone
through coupled up. Altogether a
good deal of business has been done,
but notas much as might have been had
not the jam occurred. Lumbermen
still expect more water, and, as we
write, on Monday, the indications are
favorable. However everybody is
thankful for even a small food, and
will wait patiently now for the next
rise. May it come soon.

Z. Bonney, Of Buffalo, N. Y, an
old subscriber Of ours, called in last
week, and Strengthened UP and told us
to send on the paper, because he
couldn't keep house without it. Among
other things he said that Buffalo was
larger than Tionesta. Now it is cur.
rently reported and generally believed
that the Chicago fire was judgement
on that city for glorying because they
were little ahead of Tionesta in
point Of population and buildings, i
not in point Of Influence. However
Notwithstanding Mr.. Bonney's boast
we hope no calamitys will overtakt
Buffalo. We may want to annex it tc
Tienesta some day.

We wish to call attention to
communication headed "A Pertinen
! Query" in another column. 1t call
the attention of the lumbermen to tn
necessity of an organization to protec
their interests, and especially as far a
! the rafting in the Tionesta creek
concerned. We agree with our CORES
; pondent, that such an organizatio
would prove wise, and save much lun
ber and money which ale now lost b,
cause "what is everybody's business
nobody's business" There will b
probably, in the course of huma
events, another food. Let the lum
bermen be prepared for it.
