that the slcighing was about played
out in this part of the country, but we
understand that the sleighing is good
all over the county, the snow in the
woods being over two feet deep.
Should it come off with rain, there
will be such flood as has not been
seen in this part of the lumber coun
try for several years.
On Friday evening of this week
bible, which has been purchased
principally by the wives and daugh
ters of the members, will be presented

|. o. O. f. The wives and daughters
of members are invited, and all those

invited present and bring along their

secured for the occasion, and good
time will undoubtedly be had by all.
VA petition is now in circulation
praying our Legislature to pass bill
prohibiting strangers from fishing in
that part Of the Allegheny River and
its tributaries which are situated in
Forest county, for some years. The
object is to prevent fishermen from
Pittsburgh and elsewhere, from COM
ing up here and scooping all the fish
out of the waters about here with
seines. Were it not for the Wholesale
taking of fish by strangers, our citi-
zens might be able to have a mess
themselves, once in while.
Myers Mill, formerly Lighther's,
was blown up one morning last week
while the hands we're at breakfast, con-
sequently no one was hurt. We un-
derstand the mill was almost entirely
demolished The boiler used in this
mill was very old one, and was prob
ably worn clear out. 1t was indeed
lucky that the explosion did not occur
while the hands were at work, else
there might have been several lives
lost. The mill is to be rebuilt soon.
Judge Bonrdman has rendered
his opinion denying the application
for new trial for Stokes. This deci-
sion renders the hopes for Stokes es-
Gaping Justice of no avail. This is
made test case in New York, and
society at large will rejoice that cold
blooded murder shall not hereafter 90
unpublished. Now before another
murderer who has influential friends
is tried it weuld be pious plan to so
amend the jury laws that an inteli-
gent jury can always be had on short
notice, and the expenses of all trials
materially cut down.
Mr.. A. Mealy, living in the Hud-
dlesOn settlement, about six miles
south Of this place, met with an acci-
dent on Thursday night of last week,
by which one Of his legs was broken.
Hearing noise among the horses, he
went out to his barn and found one of
them had broken through the floor,
and was fast there. He was going in
to the stall, when the horse made an
effort to release ITSELF and got about
halfway up and fell back again, fall
ing directly on Mr.. NIealy's leg. The
fracture was a simple one, and was re-
duced by Drs. Winans and Blaine.
The patient is getting along finely
and there is every reason to believe
that he will soon be on his taps again.
