Mr.. j. H. Dingman, who has been q
resident of our city for the last eleven
years, formerly of the firm Of Clark
& Dingman, wholesale grocers, has
rented bis property here and removed
to Tionesta. He has been living there
several months although his frequent
appearance on our streets led US to
suppose that he was still living here,
aud we were Got aware Of his removal
until yesterday. While We regret the
loss of so good citizen as Mr.. Ding
man we congratulate our sister town
ON the acquisition Of so worthy man
and bespenk for him warm recep-
ton and brilliant future in his new
selection Of permanent home.

and Kerr on the bench Judge Wet
more not putting in an appearance,
the court was adjourned until A

taken mp. Henry McSweeney was ad-
mitted to practice at the several courts
of Forest county. Tuesday morning
the Grand jury was charged, Consta-
bles' reports received, names of Jurors

Tho cry against extortionatc
charges at the Centennial is rising into
volume, and, unless something is done
to check the growing feeling, the Ex-
position will suffer serious injury. In
stances almost without number of un-
doubted extortion, are recorded, and
the news is rapidly flying over the
country. The country people, resi-
ding at distance, will be frightened
either into staying at home, or of pro-
viding for thoir wants without troub-
ling the restaurants. The bad faith
of these extortioners constitute one Of
the worst features of the affair.
John Peterson, of Trunkeyville,
Ga terrible old war Democrat, by the
way) takes advantage of the power
furnished by Nature, and is pumping
a well, q few rods in the rear of the
depot, by water power. The we'll is
at present, small one, but, if we
mistake not, is increasing in produc-
ton. The cost of pumping is abso-
lutely nothing, ard the consequence
is, that John has good thing of it.
1t wouldn't spite US particle if the
well should increase to twenty bar
reIs per day.
We paid a visit to the Edenburg
oil regions last week, and came pretty
uear catching the oil fever. We would
have it sure. if we could fud some
person to furnish the capital for US to
operate on. Business of all kinds is
brisk there, but there appears to be
men enough there to do all the work
needed. Wages arc not as high as
they were some time ago.
Hon. II. B. Brown, of the Clarion
Democrat, is in town this week. We
notice that lie is announced in Clarion
county as candidate for the State
Senate, and that he is the only man
announced. For Assembly there are
four Democratic candidates, in that
county ; for Sheriff fourteen candidates,
and for Associate Judge six.
Our Washington correspondent,
for this week has changed bis base to
Philadelphia, where he is doing" the
Centennial. His letter will be read
with interest. "No pent-up Utica
contracts his powers" and we would
not be much surprised to receive one
of his letters from the Black Hills.
Mr.. Peter Berry, of Fagundus,
informs us that he intends to put down
a well somewhere in the vicinity of
Balltown during the coming summer.
The company represented by Capt.
Howe also proposed, some time ago,
to commence operations during the
present month.
Mr.. Caleb Richardson, of It'd.
