The Congressional Conference of
the Erie, Venango and Warren dis.
tri,t are having trouble, which, if not
soon fixed up, will result in that dis
trict being again represented by
Democrat. The Erie chaps insist on
having six delegates, and giving the
other counties three each; a dodge
which is never successful, and always
works to the advantage of the oppo.

GRAND EXCURSION
CMAUTAUQUA LAKE,
TUESDAY, AUGUST 8tb, 1876.

Our citizens will have, on Tuesday
next, an opportunity Of visiting Chan
tauqua Lake, and the Fair Point AS.
sembly, at much less than half fare,
starting from T:onesta at 6 o'clock n.
m, and arriving at Fair Point at
1890 n. M. Excursion tickets from
Tionesta to Fair Point, including
steamer fare, is $3.50. A special fast
train will be furnished for the occasion,
and no change Of cars will take place.
The Rescue Cornet Band of Tidioute,
which furnished Tionesta with music
on the 4th of July, accompanies the
excursion, and will furnish lively
music for the occasion. AS excur-
sionists will have eight hours at the
lake, there will be plenty of time, and
splendid opportunities for fishing and
sailing. The programme of the AS
sembly at Fair Point, in addition to
the daily exercises, will include Lee.
ture, by Rev. r. M. Hatfield, D. d.,
at IL o'clock, a. M, a lecture by
Frank Beard (Crayon CaricaturisD at
2 p. m. and the regular 5 o'clock
specialties. Tickets are for sale by j.
L. Craig, Ticket Agent, at Tionesta.
TIE Committee request that parties
will procure their tickets in advance,
that they may have sufiiciency Of
cars on hand. The train will return
to Tionesta at about 1890 p. m.
On such occasions it is customary
for excursionists to take their own pro-
visions along, and to indulge them
selves in a picnic at the lake; however,
those who do not wish to do this, can
find restaurants and hotels at the lake,
where they can purchase meals. This
is probably the only opportunity our
citizens will have this year, of seeing
Chautauqua Lake at less than half
fare, and we would advise all who
contemplate visiting Chautauqua to
embrace the opportunity. The parties
having charge of the excursion are
gentlemen who will leave nothing un-
done to contribute to the pleasure and
comfort of the excursionists. Remem.
ber, the train leaves Tionesta at 6
o'clock in the morning, and the fare
is $3.50 for the round trip.

Web. Clark's COW met with an
accident, which, besides disfguripg
her terribly, causes her great deal of
Inconvenience. A few weeks ago,
somewhere out in the woods, her tail
got fastened to u sapling, and, in her
efforts to get loose, she so unjointed
the bones, strained the tendons, and
paralyzed the muscles, that, when she
was released, it was found necessary
to amputate the tail, which was done,
leaving stump about six inches long.
1t is now Ay-time, and it is heart-rend-
ing to see that COW perform: An au-
dacious fly will settle on the beast,
and gorge himself The COW will twist
that stump about and point at the fly
the fly will then stand on its hands,
put its fore legs over its head, wink,
and take another swig of the cows
gore, and so the tail keeps pointing,
and the fly keeps gorging, until it is
swelled up like toy balloon, when it
falls of, and makes room for a fresh
fly. We would suggest a patent at
tachment TO that tail, so the COW can
defend herself.
On Sunday last, Jno. Osgood, and
a son Of Jacob Overlander were wend-
ing their way to Sabbath School, and
somewhere between Overlander's and
Zuendell's squirrel was discovered.
One of the young men having small
cartridge revolver, produced it, and
let drive at the squirrel. Young Over
lander then discharged the pistol, and
although Osgood was standing out of
range, the ball glanced, and struck
him in the right thigh. He jumped
on horse, and rode to town, about
ten miles, and DR.. Coburn probed the
wound, but could not find the ball.
The young man is stopping at the
Forest House, keeping quiet. The
DIR. does not believe the ball will give
him any trouble.
Teachers for the fall schools,
which are to commence on the first
Monday of September, will be chosen
on next Monday evening. There are
a number of applicants. In addition
to the two departments to be conduct
ed in the school house. a primary de-
part will be conducted in the Univer-
salist church, which is to be re-seated
for that purpose. This move was
made on account Of the school house
not being large enough to accommo-
date all the pupils.

How LoNG TO MILK Cows.-Some
cows settle this question for their own
ers, and such. unless they are fine,
large animals, and calf raising is the
chief use of the COW, should be fatted
and killed at four or five years old or
sold. As general rule, it is poor
COW that does not need to be dried of
before calving. As to how little milk
paws for the trouble of milking, that
depends upon the number of cows, and
the amount required for family use or
for sale. If the milk is worth four or
five cents quart, it will pay to milk
every COW that will average two quarts
day; if less than that quantity is OBJ
tanned, L would advise to sell off the
COW.
The practice of half feeding dry cows
is a poor system. All cows that are
worth keeping should be well kept;
and any animal with young should be
as well fed as when giving milk,
though the food need not be SO rich or
oleaginous. as when the milk is set for
cream or used for butter-making. The
rapid taking on of flesh at this period
is an indication of sound health.
If you expect to have a fine calf, stop
milking at all events six weeks before
the COW will come in again. Some
COWS will give milk the year round if
you allow them, and it is hard to dry
them before they make bag anew,
but this should always be done. 1t will
be found profitable to feed cows well,
and curry them twice week thor
oughly.

Not evervone is aware that the wood
used by engravers is the growth OF those
far away regions around the BLACK anu
Caspian Seas, the very names OF .he
ports from which Ii Is shipped being
unfamiliar. Very few who consider
themselves good geographers have ever
heard of Poti, or Abkassia, or Tzaritsin,
and vet these are flourishing commercial
towns, reached by the way Of the Golden
Horn of Constantinople.
For all fine engravings, Turkey box-
wood Is used, and as its quality varies
much, some skill is necessary to good
selection. The best is Of a delicate
yellow color, clear and free from spots !;
it cuts smoothly and evenly, with no
crumbling nor tearing, but every line
cut will be perfect.
Ii is to the use Of this wood by our
artists that the superiority of their de-
signs and wood-engravings must in a
great measure be attributed. In con-
sequence of its scarcity and high price,
many substitutes have been resorted to ;
maple, apple, pear, mahogany have been
experimental upon; but hitherto no
wood, metal, or composition has been
discovered that possesses the requisite
qualities.
In addition to engraving, lockwood is
used for scales, rules, gauging rods, and
similar articles on which figuring is
made; and there are factories in Con-
necticut that consume hundreds OF tons
annually for this purpose alone Any
one that has ever held a carpenters rule
in his hand knows what lockwood Is
like. 1t differs i'm color and texture
from all other wood, and it is somewhat
remarkable that it comes to perfection
only in a comparatively limited REGION
of country in the vicinity of the Black
Sea. 1t weighs about seventy five
pounds to the cubic foot, and varies in
price to land it in Boston from s75 to
$3.50 ton.

Father and Son.

There are two regular patrons of the
police station in Springfield, Mass, fa-
ther and son, of whom the Union thus
speaks: "When the old gentleman gets
into limbo the son appears and proceeds
TO read him a long lecture on the sin of
drinking and its attendant evils, usually
winding up with, Its good enough for
you. | have done all that a son could do
to make you live properly, and you have
no one 10 blame but Yourself" Money
is raised to pay the old mans fine, and
then the son takes his turn at getting
drunk and smashing things. Straight-
way the father appears at the station
house, and, with benign expression
on his countenance, plaintively in
quires: is this the example which l
have set you, and am L to be thus re-
paid for all my watchful care and TEN
derness?' The family pay the sons
fine, and then it is the old mans turn.
The funny part of the affair is that fa-
ther and son have been lecturlng each
other in this way for about nine years,
and neither of them seems to have the
slightest idea of the extreme ludicrous-
ness which their continued exhortations
have attained"
