The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1874-11-04

departed for Greeley, Colorado, on
Thursday Of last week, taking with
him the good wishes of numerous
friends in this section. Mr.. II. pro-
posestO go into the business of sheep
raising, and we have DO doubt but he
will make good thing Of it. He will
probably give our readers a sketch of
the country through the columns of
the REPUBLICAN shortly.
The returns from other States are
so meagre, and 80 much has to be es.
timated that we will not attempt to
give the telegraphic returns from but
two or three States other than our own.
Enough is known, however, to convince
us that the Democrats have gained
several Congressman, aud at least one
Governor, Tilden, in New York. There
is not much doubt, however, but the
next Congress will be Republican. SO
that the Democrats cahnot impede
business.
According to this mornings pa
pers, riot occurred at Eufala, Ala,
yesterday, starting among the negroes,
and finally INDUCED in by the whites.
Six whites were wounded, one of them
mortally. Three negroes were killed
outright, as far as heard from, thirty
four were wounded, ten to fifteen of
them mortally. Quiet was soon re-
stored, and the voting went on as US
ual. They claim gain of one Demo
cratic Congressman down there.
james, an adopted son of Geo. Has
let, met with sad accident, on Sun
day last. He has been working for
VIM. Lawrence for some time, and was
going up to visit Mr. Haslet's family,
and the horse he was riding, stumbled
and fell, breaking Jimmie's right arm
above the elbow, and we believe,
spraining his left wrist. The little
chap was fixed up and will soon be on
his pins again.
After rest of few years, the
chaps who observe Halloween at all
hazards. were out on Saturday night
seeking what they might destroy; do
ing a good deal Of damage, in one way
or another. If they are found they
will pay dearly for their "fun," which
appears to consist 10 anything that
will make decent citizens trouble and
expense.
Major Burke endeavored to horse
whip Governor Kellogg IL New Or
leans the other day. The Gov. drew
revolver and blazed away, giving
the gallant major close call for his
life. The Major then drew a pistol
and fred four shots at Kellogg, none
of them taking effect. This We con-
slider mighty poor shooting.
Some petty thioving has already
taken place in town although winter
has not yet shut down on us. This
being the case, we may expect good
run of it during the cold weather. The
demand for Yale locks, therefore, is
brisk. 1t is better to beg than to steal
and a good deal safer.
Some Of the citizens of Warren
, went up to jamestown to hear Jo. Jef.
ferson play Rip Van Wrinkle. The
Ledger says that ait did not meet the
expectations Of many" The fault
was not with 10. then we can assure
you.
The fright over the cabbage
worm has about subsided, We believe
as most of our citizens are eating cab,
bage right along. A great many OF
these vegetables went to waste, how
ever, when the panic first atruck US.
Alex. Gordon, Of Elkhart, Ind.
is in town at present, on visit to hi:
, friends and relatives hero. The eli
! mate out there does not agree with the
> health of his family, so we understand
! He is looking very we'll himself.
