Spring Elections.


Last Saturday evening as usual
the citizens met at the arbitration
room Of the Court House aud nomina
ted, what was suppose to be "citi-
zen's ticket" 1t was composed Of some
of the best men of the place, and ta-
ken altogether was good ticket.
But as we said last week, it didn't ego
down" with number of the voters,
consequently another meeting was
called on Monday evening, and anoth-
er ticket put on the track.
1t appears that at this meeting
something was said which was cal
culated to disturb the feelings of the
Democrats, and perhaps they thought
they were not getting their share of
the candidates. At any rate, after the
caucus had adjourned, two or three of
them got together and fixed up n
straight-out Democratic ticket, and
had tickets printed bright and early
yesterday morning, and stuck togeth-
er as ouly Democrats cantor we
must give them this creditor the
election Of their ticket. Excitement
ran rather high during the day, but
all passed off pleasantly, and no blows
were thought of. Time and space will
not permit us giving the votes receiv-
ed by each candidate, SO we will mere.
ly give the names of those elected:
Burgess. a. Dale.

j. Van Giesen, S. A.Varner, VIM. Law.

"A bill increasing the bounty on
red foxes to one dollar, and making
the bounty on grey foxes fifty cents,
has passed the lower house of the
Legislature. We suppose as soon as
Reynard learns of the action of the
Legislature 10 this matter he will va
moose the country and go to climes
more congenial to his scalp; and small
game, e,-pheasants, rabbits, &C., will
roam our forests, monarchs of all they
survey, with none to molest or make
afraid. Then can the frisky ground
hog come fsrth to gaze upon his shad-
ow without entailing upon US a six
weeks winter; and the innocent lamb
shall gambol upon the village green
without fear of being kidnapped by
his foxship. The lusty chanticleer
will send forth Ills notes with greater
ecldt than ever; and then shall the
old grey goose smile on the gander,
and join him in singing praises to
Jake Kepler-the prime mover in this
grand scheme.
Valentine day in this place was
thoroughly enjoyed by some, and not
SO thoroughly by others, The post
office was drained of Let. stamps, and
as far as we can learn "no guilty man
escaped" or was sighted. Some were
touched" and to avenge themselves
hurled uncomplimentary remarks at
every one ~hom they thought might
have had something to do with the
sending of them; consequently many a
poor innocent cuss had to suffer for
another's mischief,-our honest friend
ID. f. Robinson was among these. To
say the least it is cowardly way of
showing ones dislike for another, and
shows envy instead. However a great
many hearty laughs were INDUCED in
by the majority of our populace, and
especially the Juveniles.
"A petition for raisirg militia
company is being quite numerously
signed by our citizens. About forty
have already enlisted, among them
quite number of Gold soldiers" This
is what we like to see, because We have
often wondered why Tionesta couldn't
just as well have an organization of
this kind as any other town, as we
have the material among us to make
as good company as can be furnished
in the State, and if the right spirit is
shown we will have it. We hope to
see the company parading our streets,
next summer in full uniform.
