1t will be seen by reference to the

There is rumor that the Dan
forth House, of Pithole, is to be
moved to Tionesta and put on the
foundation Of the old Holmes House.
We scarcely credit the story.
Quite a quantity of ice was put
up by those having ice.houses in town,
'on Saturday and Monday last. The
ice is not of a. very good quality, but
still is great deal better than none.
-Notwithstan6ing the bad roads,
some of the denizens of the coal coun.

-Thirty-seven on thirty.eight creek
pieces, each containing an average of
perhaps 100, 900 feet of lumber, are
already RATED in the creek at Lacy
town, ready to be run out on the first
water. The rafting in will be all
finished this week, and will proba-
bly, make the number of creek pieces
amount to at least fifty. Look out for
lively times when the water comes up.
The new postage law brings a con-
siderable revenue from the New York
advertising agencies. Geo. P. Rowell
d. Co.'S quarterly bills upon newspa-
pers received exceed $3.50; those of
s. NJ. Pettengill q Co. are above $3.50,
while the agencies of w. j. Carlton,
Bates & Locke, w. w. Sharpe and
Others most prominent, pay from one
fourth to one-eighth of the above
amounts.
Because the Derrick saw fit to
make few remarks on an article con.
tained in this paper of two weeks ago,
on the restoration to papers of their
former postal privileges, the Tidioute
Journal must needs follow suit in 9TH
or words, the Derrick pipes and the
Journal dances; the Derrick mourns
and the Journal laments. The Needle
Of the Journal must be zephyr nee
die, because it has no point whatever.
We would repeat the old adnonition
"be original or nothing, " to that paper,
hut it 10 entirely unnecessary; it is
3'2' original, aud il is nothing.

The temperance men Of Tidioute
are having hitch with the hotel keep
ers of that place. They have no IL
cense there, and it appears that nearly
all the hotels have been selling the
forbidden article. A meeting washeld
last week in favor of enforcing the
law, in which DIR. Shugert took an ac-
tive part. MIR. Virgins, of the Faro
pean Hotel said he liked to hear tenn
perance talked by temperance men,
but not by man who had taken
drinks over his bar, and that lately.
The name of the person was demand
ed, and Mr.. Virgins said it was DIR.
Shpgert. DIR. Shugert rose to explain,
aud said be had taken drinks over Mr..
Virgins bar, but that the question
now was whether the law should be
enforced or not. Still he would pledge
himself to entirely foregO the use of
the beverage if Mr.. w. would do the
same. This is talking to the point. 1t
is supposed that both parties have
since taken the pledge.

We believe the day is not far dis.
tapt when the enlightened public opin-
ion of the country will demand uni
vsrsal education applicable to and en-
forced in every section of the Repub-
lie. Our perpetuity and safety as a
Government depends on the intelli-
gence of our people. The higher the
standard of intelligence the safer AND
more permanent will be our institu-
tions. In his Farewell Address
Washington left US his views on the
subject. He said: promote, as an
object of primary Importance, institu-
tions for the general diffusion Of
knowledge. In proportion as the
structure of government gives force
to public opinion it is essential that
public opinion should be enlightened" I"
The party that follows this advice will

The April number of Ballou's Mag

may be a little more variety in this

any one number Of Ballou's, for it is
edited with such care that all tastes
are suited. The boys find sea story
in each number, the men tale of ad-
venture, and the ladies poetry and de-
lightful love stories. In addition 10

a remarkable row, reminding ono

"A remarkable row, reminding ono
of the feuds among the Scots in oldeh
times, or those of the Southern chiv-
airy of more modern times, occurred
at Centrevllle, on Saturday last. It
seems that two families named Stuck
and Dietrich, who live on adjoining
farms, both farms extending into the
village, have been on bad terms for
number of years. On Friday night
singing school was held in Centreville,
on which occasion Ellis DIETRICH was
attending door. Old Mr.. Stuck came
10 the door Of the house where the
singing school was held, and wanted
to get in. DIETRICH demanded his
ticket. Stuck said he hadn't any.
Dietrich then demanded fifteen cents.
Stuck refused to pay it, and crowded
in past Dietrich, who knocked him
down and dragged him out. War was
at once declared, and both families
armed for the Hght. The male mem
bers of the two families met in Cen
treville on Saturday, and at once peel
ed for the fray. The result was one
Of the Stucks was severely stabbed in
the back; one of the Deitrichs was shot
through Que of his ears, and one Of his
wrists; another Of the Deitrichs was
hit on the head with a four pound
weight, from the effects Of which he
will probably die. 1t is not supposed
that the affair will rest here. The courts
will probably be called in to decide
upon the merits of the case, and it is
to be hoped will permanently settle
the difficulty.
If we are rightly informed these
same families had about the same kind
Of fight some eight or nine years
ago, in which even the women were
implicated. Such doings SAVIOR more
Of border.ruffianism than Of the civ.
ilization which should exist in this old
settled country. ,l

TEE RAILROAD sTE:slSzi.

II was quite generally rumored on
the streets Of Chicago Saturday that
the employees on the different rail
roads running out OF this clty had
struck for higher wages. The fact Is
that, as far Us Chicago is directly al
fccted, the strike is confined to the
Pittsburg and Fort Wayne Road,
which is n part OF the Pennsylvania
Central line, or lines. 1t Is not,
properly speaking, a demand for in
creased wages, only a protest
against Il reduction Of 10 per cent.
The rates for passenger and
freight business have not been re-
duced on any railroad in the com-
try on account Of the panic, 50 far
as we know. In some cases the re-
~ :, have fallen oft, perhaps, while
in others they n",y .-aonasnJ Wha
Illinois Central Company IS the or,y
one in this State which is compelled
to make an exact report of It's gross
earnings. We recall no other vail
road company in the United States
which is compelled 10 do 50. y few
are obliged to report officially their
net earnings. Now the Illinois Cen
trail reports that for the last half
year its gross receipts were So,
S32 .63, an excess Of Sl,523.65 over
the corresponding period OF last
year. This statement is made on
the strength of u Springfield dis
patch Of Saturday. We know Of no
reason why this exhibit should not
be fair specimen Of the relative
earnings Of other roads during the
same periods.
There is another consideration
worthy of mention in this connec-
ton. The railroad companies have
claimed that their passenger re-
Ceipts had been seriously reduced
by the wholesale abuse of the dead
head system, and that few, and
those often the very men best able
to pay their way, rode free OF charge
at the expense Of the many. The
system has been abolished almost
entirely, and the fact has been rep
resented to be u ''relorm.' such it
ought to he, but as yet no retolna-
ton has been affected. The ''many'
pay Just rs high fare as they did be-
fore. Cutting of free passes and
