Job hand. But 1t seems TO come In
spurts, aud we cannot risk it as yet.
We have it from one Of our
tewnsman that Jne. Cobb u Son
have shut down their mills for the
summer, having FIJI the lumber on
hands that they fhre to have at pres
eft prices, and (the present state Of
the lumber m9t 9tket. ~
Geo. Hsf fet shipped two fawns to-
some party hO was willing to pay for
them, on N nday. He caught one of
them, and bought the other. There is
a good y hand for these pretty crear
lures, bk kh at home and abroad, but
we bel ve the foreign parties are gen
erall willing to pay more for the1
than ho natives are. "
The dirt which was hauled in to
fl ehp the abutment on this side of the
Yer, last fall, is being scraped back
the bank proper, to let the river
have its natural channel. There is
Ftalk, every few days, of changing the
plans and specifications of the bridge,
but as yet, we believe, no change has
been Uadc.
Part of the iron for the creek
bridge has arrived, and at least one
span will be put up this week. Mr..
West, under whose superintendance
the iron was put up on the river bridge
last fall, is present, and doing the same
Office for the creek bridge. BY those
who profess to know about such things,
he is said to be one Of the best super
intendents in the business.
The Premium List, Rules and
Regulations of the Sixteenth Annual
Exhibition Of the Clarion County Ag-
ricultural Society, in pamphlet form,
has been sent us. Tho Fair will be
beld on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs
day an%Friday, September 29d, Oath,
ssth anNN, 1873. The list Is lib.
eral, and if the weather is favorable,
the fair will probably be success.
Street Commissioner Stroup is
busily engaged in mending the bor-
ough roads, and as far as we are a
judge of such things, we believe he is
doing a good job. The mud-holes are
being filled up with stone, and bed Of
gravel laid over the whole road
bitches are being opened on both sides
of the road, as the work proceeds, and
we live in hopes that Tionesta will
soon be celebrated for good highways
Two Base Ball Clubs, known as
the "Rocky Mountains" and the "Buck'
wheats," have been organized up the
creek, from Ross Run to Newtown
and report says they play a lively
game. There is talk of a match be-
tween one of these clubs and the
White Pines, during the first week in
August. Our boys have had no prac'
tice whatever, this summer, and part
of their club has meved away, and, un
der the circumstances, they are liable
to get "scooped."
Not to be outlone by Oil City
Cory, Titusville, or any other place
Forest County had case on the 4tt
which we hesitate to mention. A
young man in Hickory township at
tempted an outrage on the person of 8
lady over fifty years of age. A war
rant is in the hands of the constable
for his arrest. Out of respect for the
parents of the young scamp, we sup
press his name, but sincerely hope he
may be captured and made to suffer
the full penalty of the law in such cas-
es made and provided.
Mr.. Eli Holeman, of Tionesta
township killed a rattlesnake 9Th,
other day" which measured four fee
in length, and was upward of twelve
inches in circumference. The snake
was disposed to run rather than fight
at first, but Holeman soon overlook i
snd put it out of harms way and ou
of the way of harming anybody. They
are an insect for which the native
have no love, and every mans hanC
is against them. Notwithstanding the
loss to Naturalists, we hope they may
all be DESTROYED this season,
