tween Tate's residence and Helen St.,
and will erect house there the COM
ing fall. He expects to have it ready
to live in before winter.
The new Post Office has been plas-
tered and looks we'll. Mr.. Mckay
will soon have it ready to occupy, and
then we can have an Office which will
be credit to the place. He is going
to put in a new set of boxes and those
wishing lock boxes had better speak
for them at once, as they are going off
like hot cakes.
John Fleming, Esq, formerly of
this county, now of Portland, N. Y,
called on us yesterday morning. He
is engaged in raising and shipping
grapes and other fruits, and sells to
two or three of our merchants. He
informs us that he will ship about
twenty tons of grapes during the com
ing season. He is a straightforward
man, with whom it is a pleasure to
deal.
"A prize fight came off one morn
ing last week, in Oil City, between a
tailor and a shoemaker. Seven rounds
were fought and during the last round
the tailor got in a beautiful bat on the
shoemaker's neck, and when "time"
was called ye cobbler failed to respond.
Ten dollars side was put up, which
was pocketed by ye Knight of ye
Goose. The police came around after
the fight.
"A Fryburg correspondent of the
East Brady Independent speaks thus
of that place, and seems to think that
intoxicating drinks and Democracy
are closely connected in that region:
"Fryburg is situated in Washington
township, contains two hotels, both
licensed, a lager beer brewery, four
stores, carriage and wagon shop, a
foundry, and polls about forty votes.
1t is noted for lager beer and Dcmoc-
racy; the population of the surround
ing country is principally Of foreign
descent"
The post office at this place has
been made u money order office for
Great Britain and Ireland. Those
wishing to send money to the old
country can do so by applying at the
post office and paying the following
scale of prices For $40, % cts $40,
90 cts; $50, 75 cts; $40, s1,OO; $50,
S1.25. No larger sums than $50, can
be sent in one order. This will be a
great convenience to the foreigners
about here, as We understand that sew
eral thousand dollars are sent to the
old country from this point each year.
Yesterday morning we received a
call from G. w. Brennan, Of Brook
ton, Howe township, who is agent of
ID. j. Brooks q Co., proprietors of the
tannery and saw-mill there. Mr.. Bren-
Ian informs us that the works there
employ 100 serviceable men, and that
the village contains upwards of 200
inhabitants, and 26 dwelling houses.
The tannery is 600x40 feet, contains
$40 watts, and tans 10000 hides a
year. Sole leather is their specially
and their hides come from Beunos
Ayres and Texas. j. II. Berry il the
superintendent of this immense estab.
lishment, and is kept ON his taps ''from
morn till dewy eve" but gets through
with it thoroughly.
While taking turn around
Crawford county recently, a Greeley
man celebrated more for energy than
judgment, informed us that VIM. Du-
senbury, of the firm of Wheeler, Du.
senbury d Co., was a strong Greeley
man. We interviewed Mr.. d. the
other day, and he refuted the slander
in as strong terms as he generally uses.
That's one great fault with the suppor-
ters of Greeley who have come under
our observation, they locate the sup.
porters of the Great and Good" too
near home, and it is very easy to find
out the truth or falsehood of the asser-
tions. We suggest that they quote
parties more out of reach, in Califor- |
MA, for instance.
