The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1875-05-26


Tuesday morning quite an amount of
lumber was brought to the mouth
some with and some without pilots.
Several RATS we're lodged on bars along
the creek, of which some Aoated off,
but were caught at the mouth. We
understand Mr.. Dithridge lost some
of his logs in the freshet.. On Tues
day the river commenced raising and
several creek pieces were dropped to
Holeman's Eddy, preparatory to coup
ling up and running to market. If
this is intended for the June flood it
is rather earlier than things in gener-
al, this year.
While Jno. Savage, brakeman
on freight train due here at 800
o'clock this morning, was changing
red light for white one at Walnut
Bend, he was thrown off by sudden
jerk Of the train. He fell on his head
fracturing his skull. He was brought
as far as this place and lies over at
the depot under the care of Drs. Win
ans and Vogle. Although in criti-
cal condition, hopes are entertained of
his recovery.
JAS. Zones is bringing on lemons,
oranges and Daily Derricks to accom-
modate his numerous customers. He
sometimes loses money on his tropical
fruits, but he is bound to accommo-
date the public, at all hazards. We
noticed him tuning up the soda foun-
tain yesterday morning, and suppose
he'll have it f9aming hereafter on hot
days.
"A. B. Hill, formerly of this place,
has been through here selling a pat.
ent spring seat. He disposed of sew
eral county rights while here, Jos.
Grove, If we are rightly informed pur-
chasing some seven counties. Chas.
Hill has the right of this county. The
scat is said to be 6rst class article.
We understand that some of the
old conductors on the Oil Creek d
Allegheny River Road have been dis
charged ON account of not charging
excess TO those not purchasing tickets,
and for other minor delinquencies.
All were gentlemen very highly
thought of by the travelling public.
Capt. Clark beside doing great
deal of good work on the roads, car
ries the mail between this place ard
Clarion, the up creek mail, and the
Pleasanville mail. He has good rigs
on all routes, and passengers may be
sure of finding good accommodations
at reasonable rates.
Geo. Hunter having fenced up
his island, there is no probability of
of base ball having a run here this sea-
son. There are a great many exciting
games of croquet taking place in the
rear Of the Central House, however,
and some very semitic playing is done
there.
The woods around this place have
been on fire in several places during
the past week, endangering property to
a great extent. The penalty is heavy
enough to put stop to these fires, if
only the perpetrators could be caught
in the act. They cannot hope always
to escape.
Capt. Knox has brought on a new
planer, of large size, which is said to
be little the nestest machine of that
kind ever brought to this county. 1t
is of large size, and is ready for bust
ness as fast as it can be brought in.
Geo. Sawyer, of hand.rail fame, manip-
ulates the machine.
We occasionally find man who
prefers city weekly to home paper
because "It's got more readin' in it."
He is the same chap who always buys
the largest pair of boots in the box,
because they cost no more than a
small pair that fit him best.
We received letter from our
friend DR.. Blaine, on Monday last
The DIR. is settled, for keeps, on West
Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, with excel
