one days pumping nut Of seven is no
small thing. This should be done
throughout the oil regions. v
We are informed that pheasants
are quite plenty about here, but they
are not disturbed much hunters pre-
ierring to chase the deer and bear, ua-
der the exctement.of which the small
er game appears contemplate.
Lloyd & Son have closed out
their business here, and gone down the
river toward Foxburg We are sorry
to lose them, ms they were good cili-
zens and square business men. We
wish them big trade where they are
going.
They have had two feet of snow
about Buffalo during the past week.
But we go more moderately here, and
do not calculate to have snow until we
can have enough to skid all the logs
in the woods to the mills without hav.
ing to hold up for thaws.
Some of our readers will remem-
ber Mr.. Stow, of Girard, who spouted
for Greeley Mt the Court House in this
place one evening during the cam
paign. Well, he has become one Of
the editors of the Erie Observer. That's
what he's come to.
1t is rumored that the small pox
is prevailing down the river. We are
in hopes that it will not float up stream.
Forest County was peculiarly fortu-
nate during the run Of the plague last
winter, not case within its borders
coming to our knowledge.
Winter is coming on rapidly, AMI
OIL account of the horse disease, coal
is not coming in nearly as plenty as is
usual at this time Of year. Should
the present stock get out before the
horses are in working trim again, we
don't know what is to become of It's.
1t is said that the Constitutional
Convention is composed of one hun.
dred lawyers, and thirty.throe from
other vocations. If all these la yers
calculate to distinguish themselves
during the session Of the Convention,
we should like to print their speeches
at five cents line.
Grove & Wolcott's well will be
tested this week. They are sanguinc
of getting oil, and we hope they may
not he disappointed. A well II short
distance from theirs is producing in
good quantities and quite an excite
ment is visible opposite Truukeyville,
No effort has been made as yet to
raise means to send to Boston, from
this quarter. The reason we suppose,
is, that there has been no call for help,
from that place, as there was from
Chicago. In works Of charity Tones
Ia will take her place with any town
Of its size in America.
AT the business meeting held at
the Presbyterian Church on Sunday
last, Capt. VIM. Clark was elected to
represent this charge at the Presbytery
at Greenvlle, whicn met Yesterday.
AS he has not returned up TO the time
of going to press we have no report of
the proceedings.
The overland mail, between this
place and Clarion has been non est for
4 week or two, on account of the epi-
ZOO. Our subscribers along tie route
who have not received their papers
promptly will understand the reason.
The mail went out yesterday morning,
and will probably be regular hereafter.
M. Carpenter has returned to
twon, and now, anyone wishing an un-
fading picture of this earthly taber-
nacle, which is liable at any time to
be dissolved, can get it at any time by
calling at the Art Gallery of the
aforesaid Carpenter. If requested the
artist will throw in hymn free of
charge.
We notice by the Tidioute Jour
nal that Prof. Weber, who has recent
ly emigrated to that place, presided at
the piano at home entertainment
given at Grandin Opera House on
Thursday evening last. Also that the
Prof proposes to form an orchestra in
that place. We hope he won't forget
the Tlonesta orchestra altogether.
