money lost, and their legs made sore
by the weight Of the money. This
may be true in exceptional cases, but
we can assure our readers that there
are no holes in our pockets, and that
our legs are as sound as they ever

Talking with Capt Howe, of
franklin, few days ago, he informed
us that the work on the wells in the
old part fthecounty, about Balltown,
would commence shortly. The com
pany have had much to contend with,
in dealing with some of the large
land-holders, the latter holding the
price of their leases too high. We
believe all things are now ready.
"A smart Illinois girl who had
been cruelty Tilted, rose up in her
wrath and recovered $4,000 for breach
of promise,-and she had no sooner

-At.the primary elections, held in
Armstrong county last week, Gen.
Harry White received the entire vote

elected.

having to pay such high prices for the
stock. rF.hi t1rt1.a.i .ir

was admitted from Venango county,
to practice at the bar of Forest county
last court, has stuck out his shingle in
st. Petersburg. He was a good stu

practice.
Our hills are clothed with ver-
dure, and flowers are blooming sponta-
neously. Our place, in the summer, is
not excelled in beauty by any
other town on the river. Summer Wis
itols could find no more pleasant place
to spend few months than Tionesta,
We publish to-day the card of
Drs. Blaine & Egbsrt, who have form
ed copartnership for the practice of
medicine. DIR. Egbert is a regular
graduate Of one of the best medical

undoubtedly well qualified to practice,
1T is lamentable fact, that no
one. of our active, robust, healthy

will become Questionable.
The July number of Ballou's
is superb, for it contains
such large variety OF reading matter
that all must be pleased with it. In
to the stories, there are quite
a number of excellent engravings,
some of them of handsome charac-

The great serial called "That Taylor
