The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1873-06-25


The following items of interest
in regard to two former citizens of
our county we take from the Petrol
cum Centre Record,
We had the pleasure this forenoon
of meeting Mr.. G. X. N. Crawford,
of Tionesta. Mr. Crawford is engaged
in the lumber business with
Mr.. A. II. Steele, the we'll known
President of the Pennsylvania Petrol
cum Railroad. Mr.. Steele has the
contract for furnishing 100000 feet
of plank for the Titusville and Cen
treviIle Plank Road Company. He
has purchased the timber on $50 acres
of the Skinner farm, on Oil Creek 4,
has put up portable saw mill and
will he under charge of Mr.. Crawford,
who is one of the pioneer lumbermen
of Forest county. The lumber is
principally oak with slight sprink-
ling of chesnut and Eastwood. Mr..
C. thinks it will take at least year
to cut the timber On this piece of
land.
Forest county wild cats are so
tame they follow people about like
kittens. One Of the spry sort followed
a man named Haslet some distance
up Tionesta creek last week, and was
only prevented from making a closer
acquaintance by Haslet turning on
his would be acquaintance and shoot
ing it.-Coarier.
We suppose, Of course, this item
was taken from our note on the same
subject two weeks ago. Mr.. Haslet
did not shoot, nor shoot at, the animal
having nothing but fishing pole to
do it with. He merely bounced a
rock at the cat, which scared it away.
The Postmaster and postal clerks
Of Pittsburgh complain of obscene
matter passing through the office in
that city. The instructions are little
mixed in that particular case. The
CLERKS are forbidden to read anything
but the address on the cards, and at
the same time warned if they permit
auy obscene or improper oommunica-
tions TO pass through their Offices on
postal cards they will be held strictly
accountable.
The very reason why the nSble
game Of base ball is not played here

We clip the following compli-
mentary notice of Mr.. Graves, the
artist from the VenangO Citizen:
Wm. A. Graves, artist, visited this
city recently, bringing with him two
elegant portraits, life size, of DIR. w.
L. Whann and lady, of this city. AS
a portrait painter Mr.. Graves is un-
surpassed. His work gives entire
satisfaction, and the large number Of
srdors received by him is evidence
that his work is highly appreciated by
all. For the present his studio is To-
Gated in Warren, Pa, but we under
stand he will soon move to this city.

On Saturday iast, o mass meeting of
the people of Red River county, with
but one dissenting voice, presented the
name OF Charles De Morse, of ClarlSs-
vile, as . candidate for Governor be-
fore the Democratic State Convention,
TO he held at Austin on the Sd proXimO.
This is not the first time we have heard
his name suggested for gubernatorial
honors, and whatever may have been
our previously expressed preferences,
we are free to say that, in our opinion,
no man Of stri ter integrity, purer mo-
tives or more consistent Democratic
record has been named for the position.
We have known Charles De Morse as
editor of the Clarksville Standard for
peeriy twenty years, and in our young
er jouYpalistic ,ite werp wont to look
up to him as a man justly entitled to
our regard and esteem and worthy of
imitation. We are very sure that,
should the choice Of the Convention
fall upon him, the affairs Of State will
be in safe hands.

says of the contemplated morganatic
marriage Of the Duke Alexis, about
whom so many of. the shoddyites of
America were making fools of them
selves year ago;
Alexis, not Dan. Castiilo's equestrian
goat OF that uame, but an innocent
looking yoang man belonging to the
Russian royal family, who made a
tour through this country not long
since, was noticed by the knowing
ones to have n dreamy, sentimental
air, slightly mingled with melancholy
at times, when he was not engaged in
the noble pastime of eating oysters and
drinking champagne, II was an air of
autunnal sadpess which seemed to
whisper In the brightest festive scenes,
"Aiy days are In the yellow leaf; the
flowers and fruits of love are gone"
with other appropriate remarks.
Many tender-hearted beauty, as
abe walked 10y his side and
slooked into the blue depths Of
his beloved eyes" imagined with wo-
mans quick and unerring sympathy
that "the worm, the canker and the
griefn were the agonizing portion of
unhappy Alexis. Beauty was right
i'm her guess. True, 1t was given out
that the Gar 50 loved the United
States that he sent his well beloved son
to visit us and become acquainted
with our laws, custsms and 81 forth,

her whispered tone.
Jennie Hilton was too thoroughly
unhappy about Harold to enjoy even
the fairy scene that surrounded her.
"How could Mildred beso heartless?'
she said to herself ''Poor, poor Har-
old.n
Late in the evening, or rather early
in the morning, as the last guests were
about departing, Count Leonardo asked
In low voice for permission to call on
the morrow. Mildred's cheek flushed
in triumph, as she named an hour at
which she would receive him. That
night she sat in Jennie's room and
talked, half in earnest, half .jestingly,
dixie other girls" of the splendor that
awaited her when she should win the
handsome Count.
Jennie knew her too well to offer
either reproach or remonstrance, and
listened silently to her anticipations,
while her own thoughts were lingering
tenderly about the absent Harold.
How she longcd to go to him and COM
fort him in his great dcsolation and
misery, and her honest heart could
scarcely suppress Il loathing for the
beautiful "whitedsepulchre" who could
so calmly doom him to such unhappi-
ness.
Long after Mildred was asleep that
night, Jennie lay thinking of Har
old, and it was not until the light of
Aurora stood in the eyes of morning
that she fell into troubled and unre-
freshing slumber

hour, and when he left, lust before
dinner, he pressed the kiss Of accepted
love unQn Mil,ireds treacherous lips.

holier plighting at her mothers grave,

trance, hut shrank, aft lighted, from
the coldness that chilled it.

Indians in Parker county.

From the Weatheriurl Times, lei
1t seems to be almost incredible, vet
many persons believe that 1t was In
dains that killed Mr.J Del Hemphill last
Saturday night, between Cartersville
and Veal Station. Nj Hcmphin, with
party OF young men, were returning
home from church on Saturday nigAhs
and when about half way between
the two Villages, they discovered q
party of horsemen ahead of them.
Thinking it some of their own friends,
going home from church, they made ~
charge on them. As the Young men
dashed up the hill. the party fell back
ON the other side, and thr boys received
u heavy volley from the guns OF their
supposed friends. They were at once
satisfied that they had run on a large
party of Indians, and beat u hasty re-
treat, as none of tn m were armed.
All made good their escape, except
Joel Hemphill. His horse WAS shot
and disabled, and the savnges ran on
him and shot him through the head,
killing him instantly Mr.. Hemrhill
was an excellent young man, only
about 20 years old.
Ii Is generally believed in the neigh
horhood that this was "a party of thew
ing Indians, but many believe IL 30
have been party of whites, probably
dressed In Indian garh.

From ardent love 10 mere estaca,
There's none 50 sweet rs you.
How often In the summers cyo
We wander'd In the dim old wood.
Your hand In mime, n.r asked leave
To kiss II, In divinest mood.
We told our loves In artless w9ys,
With Hope, we painted life afar,
As read Chaldeans In ancient days
Their fate, within some burning star.
But years have passed since that bright day,
And wide the world III u parts US now,
Your sunny curls have tulhed 70 gray;
Times signet-mark Is on my brow.
And yet, dear heart IN starry dreams
live again that holy time,
When life was nlled with raiubow-gieams,
And childhood was silver chime.

petition. Coming, as many Of us do,
from the North, we do not conceal our
purposc to make the Texas and Pacific
IL paying investment. Nature has en-
d0wed this line with rich soils, easy
grades, short lines, boundess mineral
wealth and n genial climate. We come
to grasp the advantages these afford,
and to try to bring good dividends to
our stockholders and material develop
ment to the regions we traverse. We
deprecate unfounded prejudices; we
ask to be tried by n just and reasonable
rule. Our enterprise Is MS much yours
rs II is ours. If advancement In wealth
and population be worthless, then you
may rightly judge US severolyI hut so
long as labor, population and material
pro fress are the essential clements in
national prosperity, just so long are
those who try to produce them entitled
to be sustained, supported and encour-
aged by all.who love the State and de-
sire its growth.
In the construction of a great work,
with the energy and force that is in-
despensable to success and economy,
as well as in the control and operation
of new road, it inevitably results
that mistakes occurand individuals suf-
fer and If in the onward progress of our
work such have happened and shall
again happen, it will not be the fault
of the management of either depart
mtnt of tho enterprise If they are not
corrected. We shall endeaypf 10 dp
the right; If we fail to do so and you
are hurt thereby, inform us OF your
wrong and we will apply the remedy.
With the earnest hope that the COM
pletion of the eastern branches of the
Texas and Pacific may bring to your
city largely increased population and
business, and with assurances on the
part of the management of the road,
OF lts determination to give every
practicable facility to case and cheap
ness of transportation, ! again tender
you my hearty congratulations.
