John Reck, Collector of school
tax settled up with the School Board
on Monday evening, and was highly
complimented on his efficiency in that
troublesome office. He will doubtless
have more Of the same kind of work
in the future.

The frame for the new addition
to the Forest House was raised yester-
day. The work will be pushed to
completion as rapidly as possible, aud
when finished, the landlord will have
room to swing himself, and accommo-
date more individuals during court
weeks, rafting, &c.
In the call for q meeting of the
Republican County Committee, pub
lished last week, We unintentionally
omitted the name of Judge Cook, who
is the member from Barnett Twp. The
mistake was ours, as the name was on
the "call" handed us by the chairman.
The name will be found in its proper
place in this Issue.
The Presbyterian Society of lid
ioute has accepted the resignation of
Rev. Edwards as Pastor of the Church
in that place, and have extended
call to Rev. Theo. Crowll, TO fill the
vacancy. If we are rightly informed
! the last named gentleman has been
supplying the pulpit of that church
for some time past.
-Recks have landed quite an
amount of lumber in the back chan
mel, which is mostly being hauled to
Knox's mill, where it will be dressed
and made ready for Sale in lots to suit
purchasers. Mr.. Partridge, we believe
has purchased large amount of this
lumber for his new building, which is
going up as rapidly as possible.
The Clarion Democrat says, Mr..
A. Bonnet of this place had his collar
bone broken, and was otherwise hurt,
by the kick of horse he was leading,
on Thursday of last week. He made
a narrow escape from instant death.
His injuries are painful, and will con.
fine him in the house for some time.
He has the sympathy of his many
friends.
Next Tuesday decides the mo-
mentous question as to who shall be
our County Superintendent of Schools
for the next three years. None of the
candidates are working very hard, but
suppose none will be seriously disap,
pointed if they are the choice of the
convention. We, in common with all
our neighbors, hope the best man will
be elected.
From the Meadville Republican
we learn of the marriage of the wild
ow of the late Hon. d. A. Finney to
Governor Christensen, of Denmark.
They sail for Copenhagen, their fu-
tire residence, to-day. Mr.. Finney, it
will be remembered died in Europe
several years ago, and was at the time
of his decease Member of Congress
from the old Twentieth District.
"A correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Telegraph quotes from the diary of
the 'oldest inhabitant" Of Franklin,

rain. This day closes the month of
