from several venturesome individuals.
Gen. Sheridan, however, who knows
about as much about them as any
white man, says tho gold is not known
to exist there in paying quantities,
although it may be there. When we
take into consideration the fact that
the territory after which these adven-
turers pine is an Indian reservation,

Government are bound to keep miners
out of it, at least until the land can
be purchased from the former, there
doesn't seem to be very good chance

In the Meadville Post Office, one
day last week, we saw a cigar box
sealed up, and having hole in the
top, hanging up beside the delivery
window. with the legend, "Please Give
Penny to the Home Relief" We
happened to have a nickel in
our pocket, and, clnarity having the
better of us, we dropped it in the box.
Astonishment seized us when we heard
our penny strike the bottom of the
box. and We left that place wondering
how many individuals would claim the
honor when the box was opened of
having deposited the solitary penny
therein.
by reference to our "Announce

two candidates for the Office Of Super.

The election take places in Tionesta on
the first Tuesday of May, at which
election only the school directors hold
ing office preceding the spring elec-
tions are allowed to vote. We hope
to see full vote on the subject.

Sts., has just received a fresh stock of
watches, clocks, jewelry and silver
ware, which he sells at low rates. He

western Pennsylvania. Give him a
call when you go to Meadville.
