Street, cd foor,) Philadelphia, and
we will be obliged if, through the col
umns of your Journal, you will give
public notice of the location.
Respectfully yours,
HENRY M. HoYT, Chairman.
Dan. Agnew has returned from
Philadelphia, where he has had an OPP
portunity to see more of the Cen.en-
nial than any other of the visitors
from this county, having been there
from the time Of the op ening until q
few days ago. He was on the police
force, which position he has resigned.
Does it ever occur to the men,
bers of Congress that one unquestion-
able piece of economy would be to
wind up their business and adjourn ?
IF the dispute over the appropriation
bills continues much longer, the cost
of the prolonged session will nearly
counterbalance all the retrenchment
effected.
oil is booming. The closing
price Of united, yesterday. was $2.43}.
There seems to be no doubt now but
oil will reach SO in few months.
Now is good time to put down tt kOse
Forest county wells. We see by the
Tidioute Ne,os, that preparations for
starting up the wells atsFagundus, are
going forward with all possible speed.
The report that Sitting Bull, the
leader of the hostile Sioux was killed
in the battle with Custer seems to be
reasonably sure. His body is said to
have been recognized by an interpreter
belonging to General Terry's com
maud. This being true, the ablost
leader of the hostile Indians is out of
the way, and it is probable that they
may soon be brought to terms.
Happening in Meadyille few
days ago, we called upon Williams &
Co., Taxide=mists, and took look at
Davy Rilands' swan, which is put up
in as good shape as any thing we have
ever seen, The position is natural
and like, and Davy will undoubt-
edly think more of the swan dead than
living. We suppose it will be on ex.
hibition at the Central House, in the
course of week or ten days.
John Hnddleson, who lives on the
Gordon farm, Hickory-town flats, in
forms us that they experienced heavy
hail storm in that section yesterday,
the storm lasting upward of half an
hour, and laying on the ground for
about three hours before melting. The
hail was of the size of hickory nuts,
and punched the squash-vines full of
holes. No particular damage was
done, as far as our informant could
learn.
1t appears from the Press Of last
week that Congressman jerks voted
against giving Clusters soldiers wild
ows AMI orphans bounties, because the
law provided for them already. Of
course he would have voted different
ly(?) if the law had not so provided.
His record, during the war, and since,
is prominent, as friend(?) of the SOL
diers. Just why q soldier should
spout, and froth at the mouth, and
vote, and try to persuade others to
vote for Geo. A. jerks, is one Of those
political mysteries that no fellow can
find out.
If those who indulge in lottery
speculations can take hint, the action
Of the Government on that subject is
a very suggestive one. The Postmas-
ter General, sustained by the act of
Congress, has declared unavailable let
ters, and circulars relating to lotter-
les, and managers are given to under
stand that the depositing of such let
ters and circulars to be sent by mail
is an oH'ense punishable by a fine of
not less than 800 nor more than
$500. This applies to all lotteries,
whether authorized by law or not
