place would have promptly vetoed the
bill raising our salary; but then it is
not to be expected that all men are as
conscientious as we are. Further, he
says the war howl is worn out. II APP
pears to be in some particular instances,
but il ever we (and here we claim 10
be even more conscientious than Con-
ver) vote for a man who opposed the
war, and favored the South during
the war, VIC hope TO be disfranchised /;
unless there are more reasons therefor
than now exist.
IT. b. Ely, the lightning rod sling
er is in town, with new rod, called
the Improved Copper Tube Light
ming Rod" which is said to be the
most perfect conductor yet patented.
That the 2atentees have confidence in
their rod, is attested by the fact that
they give every person upon whose
buildings their rods are erected poll
cy indemnifyicg them for losses by
lightning, for ten years. The merits
Of the rod will be fully explained by
Mr.. Ely, on application to him, at the
Lawrence House. He has rodded some
of the best houses in this section, and
his work has al Ways given satisfaction.
Persons who have been in the
habit of carrying pistols, razors, dirk
knives, sling shots and all other des-
criptions of concealed or dangerous
weapons, will do we'll to leave them
at home in the future. The new law
makes it misdemeanor to carry them,
and, upon conviction, imposes fine
of not more than $500 and an i'm
prisonment of not more than one year,
or either, or both, at the discretion of
the court, of any person SO offending.
And yet again is Mr.. Grove going
to tempt fortune by putting down
we'll near his old stamping ground OPP
posite Trunkeyville. Verify, such
faith should move mountains strike
oil. May he strike gusher which
will gush-and gush, until his Golfers
groan with wealth, and then turn the
we'll over to us.
The Pleasantville Cornet Band
will give an entertainment in Part
ridges Hall, Tionesta, on Wednesday
evening, Sept. 1st, consisting of Music
by the band, Farces, Stump Speeches
&C., DC. This is said to be a first-class
entertainment. After the perform
ance a dance will be INDUCED in.
Good music will be furnished. -.
Corn on the cob, boiled or roasted,
is preferable to the juice of the same,
and the effect is not so noticeable.
Tionestians are putting up corner on
corn just now, or rather filling up a |
corner which has been waiting for this
very season, for nearly yesr past.
There seems to be enough for all, and
to spare.
The shingles for the Presbyterian !
Church are on the ground. and the |
next thing is to get them ON. How
would it do to make "bee," and in
stead of wearing out shoe leather try
ing to collect moneyto hire it done,
do it ourselvsss Nye think this would
be a success, as well as novelty.
Horse thieves are operating
around us, and our lumbermen and
others owning horses want to keep
sharp lookout for them. Lead, prop.
erly used, is a good remedy for such
evils. 1t should be propelled in a
straight line for the horse-thief's eye,
with a strong charge of powder.
Andy Weller has purchased the
Tionesta House property of Judge
Proper, paying therefor, if we are cor.
rectly informed, the sum of $4,000.
We suppose he intends to "start her
up" again soon, as he has sold his. ex-
cellent farm on Wing Hill to Geo.
Klinstiver.
IS. H. Haslet is lowering his store
one stone and Engineering" his cellar
about two stoIes. This makes a drop
to the floor of the store of about 1S

three feet.. This being a dull time of
