will be adhered to. One or two of the
rooms have already been spoken for.
"A great many trees and shrubs,
evergreen and diciduous, have been
planted this spring in the Court House
yard, and they add very much to the
appearance of the grounds. In few
years this will be a very pleasant place.
We believe fountain might be con-
structed in the grounds at small ex-
pense, which would certainly be cheer
fully paid by the taxpayers of the
county. Let our public buildings and
grounds be fully up to what we can
afford, and if we don't live to enjoy
the fruits of our labor, succeeding
generations will.

John Reck, of the firm of Proper
d Reck, has just returned from New
York with the largest stock of goods
ever brought to Tionesta. Their stock
Of Dress Goods, Dolly Vardens, Hats,
Caps, Boots, Shoes, &C., cannot be
beaten in any of the towns about here.
They will sell as cheap as any other
establishment can, and from present
indications, they will have to get an
other spring stock, as their goods are
going off very rapidly. Jairus, the
accommodating clerk of the establish
ment, is always on hand, anxious to
show goods, and answer inquiries.
The store has been re-painted inside
this spring, and everything is fresh
and new. Give them a call, and they
will sell you goods if you happen to
want any.
