--At che Literary Society, which
met at the residence of S. ID. Irwin,
Esq, on Wednesday evening last, Mr.
and Mrs. Andrew Cone, of Oil City,
were present, and contributed materi-
ally to the entertainment of the even
ing. Both, on invitations Of the go
ciotv, read selections, which were we'll
received. Mr.. Cone, by request, gave
a short account of his trip to Vienna
ms Commissioner to the Exposition.
His account was very interesting, and
was listened to with pleasure by -all

There was one of those same kind
of cutting and slashing scrapes took
place at Lickingville one day the fore
part of last week. A young Walters,
who lives near NewmanviIIe, stabbed
Dabner Host some four or five times,
one blow cutting his arm to the bone
and severing the cords. An attempt
was made on Monday last to arrest
Walters, and the house in which he
was hiding was surrounded, but he
jumped from window, and by super
ior speed distanced his pursuers, and
we'believc is still at large. All order
loving citizens should do their utmost
to have the Law meted out to charac-
ters of this kind.

The Post Office has been moved
from the Bonner & Agnew Block to
the Acomb building, formerly occu.
pied by the Superior Lumber Co Store.
The change was made, we believe, to
give the Central House more room.
Mr.. Myers, the matchmaker, is to
move into the Acomb building in the
course Of few days, and, when Davis
building is put upon its foundation
Fones' Drug Store will occupy the
lower part of it. Then the Central
House will occupy The whole building.
Ten inches of snow covered the
spring landscape of our place on Fri
day morning of last week, and the
amount of work that was done shovel
ing off side walks, on that morning,
was more than was required during
the whole of the past winter. On Sat
urday, also severe snow storm visited
us.
Our citizens visiting Pittsburgh
should make it point to call and see
the splendid Photographs made by B.
l.. H. Dabbs, at Nos. 46 and AZ Sixth
Street of that city. Mr.. Dabbs' skill
is truly wonderful, as he has the hap,
py faculty Of not only making hand
some picture, but perfect likeness.
