less disgracetul, although none OF the |
woman sustained bodily injury, but
they were grossly insulted by the mob,
and epithets of the most obscene ma
ture heaped upon them. This british
behaviour of the liqour men and their
vassals, will do more to help the tenn
perance cause in Cleveland, than all
the laws ever framed for the suppress.
sioh Of the traffic.
We are Informed that about %
Alleghenies left the mouth of the
creek during the late rise. Raftsmen
were as numeI Gus as ever, there be.
ing enough to have put at least a
double crew en- each raft that pulled
out. The general wages paid we're
about eighteen dollars for the trip to
Pittsburgh. The weather has been
cold since Sunday, and the water has
fallen rapidly, so there will probably
be no more lumber run until the June
food, always provided that we have
one. 1t is the universal wish of the
people of this country that the lumber
may bring large cash returns; then
we may realize that the panic is over.
IS. J. Wolcott, just previous to his
departure, informed US that it was
likely that he and Mr.. Grove would
put down another we'll on the hill op-
posite Trunkeyville during the coming
season. They we're pretty well salts
fed that there was oil ia that locality
and didn't like to give it up until they
found it. Their last venture up there
produced about five barrels day, but
as oil was low they did not pump it.
If their next we'll is a success they
will open out a new territory withih
4 our county "a consummation devout-
ly to be %ished."
We have received n copy OF
"Home Life in the Bible" which is
advertised in another column, and
must confess it exceeds our expecta-
tions. 1t is profusely illustrated with
steel engravings, and prlated with
large clear type ON beautifully tinted
paper. The contents, as far as we
have been able to examine them are
excellent. The publishers desire agent;
in all parts of the country. Here is q
, chance for some enterprising young
man or woman.
-Messrs. Mason and Wolcott bott
left town last week, Mr.. Mason goiug
rather sooner than he anticipated, OIL
account of a press of legal business il
his new place. He will visit our Courts
for perhaps year to come to settle
up the business on his hands when HI
left. Mr.. Wolcott goes to his farm
there to "raise" butter of superior
quality for the markets. He is no
yet entirely cured of the oil fever, anC
in all probability will spend the great
cr part of next summer boring for til,
fluid.

: In an item on the rafting at La
! Sytown last week, we made a grea
J mistake as to the number of creel
pieces which had been put in there
The number was stated to be nearl,
fifty, while the facts are that it wa
nearly one hundred and fifty pieces
Also, instead of there being 10000
feet in a piece, as we were informe,
: there are only about 10000, SO tn
aggregate number of feet was not ia
wong after all.
