--Lacy's new mill at Cobbtown,
four miles up Coon creek from Lacy
town, is progressing, and will be finish
ed soon. L. l.. Hackett, who is said

formerly used there was run by water.
"A camp meeting will be held near
Lickingville, commencing tomorrow.
We are not informed how long it will
last, but suppose as long as converts
are made. On Sunday Tionesta will
probably send her delegation. From
what We hear Of previous camp meet
ings up there, we would judge they
kept good deal of bad order around
the suburbs. There should be efficient
police appointed to secure good order,
that those who 60 there to raise dis
turbanoe may get their just deserts.
Mrs. Clapp, wife of Rev. Ralph
Clapp, deceased, and mother of Z. E.
Clapp, of President, has been visiting
in town for couple of weeks past.
She is quite an aged lady, and is loved
and esteemed wherever known, for her
manifold good qualities. She came
with her husband to President, in an
early day, and has lived to see the
wilderness blossom as the rose" and
the county where she spent the best
portion of her life, take its place
among the wealthiest in The State.
May she live in peace aud happiness
for many years TO come.
M. Carpenter, the Photographic
artist has gone to Lickingville to take
pictures during Camp Meeting. He
is merely out for few weeks, his base
of operations still being here. He will
be able to take pictures of all kinds,
in the highest style of the art. When
he comes back he will at once erect a
gallery on Elm ST., probably north of
Smearbaugl's meat market. This
will give him and his business a per-
manency in the eyes of the citizens of
this vicinity which he has long felt
need Of
On Friday last, the creek being
up to rafting stage, some attempts we're
made to run some of Ditbridge's logs
out. Frank Hackett was on one raft,
which STAYED coming over Lacytown
dam, but he kept on until he came to
the bridge at the mouth, when the for
ward end struck some of the staging
which had been erected previous to
putting the iron on the piers, and
knocked it down. To escape being
crushed he was obliged to jump into the
water, which he did. He then follow
ed the raft, and was caught in some
driftwood, piece of which, by some
means threw him about eight or ten
feet, landing-or rather launching
him in the water again. He again
struck out for the raft. and caught it.
After taking sor observations, and
making few, he plunged in the water
and swan to shore.
Chas. Harrington and James Babb
were coming over Bear creek dam
with another timber raft, which broke
into pieces, and by some means Her
ringtob was hurt quite severely, but
no bones broken, It seems that the
couplings on both RATS were unsub-
stantial, and broke, where good coup
lings should have come through per-
fectly sound.
