The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1876-05-24


burglars went up through the house,
even to the third story, where they en-.
tered room occupied by Miss S. A.
Dale, took therefrom her dress, and
from the pocket thereof did willfully
and maliciously, filch a pocket.book,
containing So bill, three cent piece,
and some papers. No one in the honso
was awakened during the time From
thence, the burglars went down to the
residence Of Senator Thomas, and
tried all the doors. The Senator, who
sleeps with one eye open, heard them
before they tried the doors, and arose
with alacrity, seized his old musket
with energy, and watched his premises
with vigilance. The burglars must
have suspected that he was on the
watch, for they did not try to effect q
forcible enhance. On Sunday, after
church, the Senator discovered Miss
Dale's pocket book, somewhere on his
premises, with the papers intact, but
the currency and coin missing. 1t is
evident that the thieves are not ex.
perts, and hence, it would seem that
we must look for the thieves among
the people who irhabit our place. This
is humiiiating to the place, but if the
thieves are caught, the humiliation
and confusion Of fece will belong to
them, and they can depend upon rcceiv.
ing the full penalty of the law in such
cases made provided.
In the case of Mary Henry vs..
the Borough of Tionesta, for damages,
by reason of injuries received while
sleigh riding on January lst, 1874, on
which occasion, the sleigh was upset,
and Mrs. Henry sustained a fracture
of her left arm, lsiming that the acci. !
dent was due to the unsafe condition
of the road, q verdict of $50 in favor
of the claimant was rendered. The
damages claimed were $3.50. Lathy, |
Agnew and Irwin, attorneys for plain
tiff, aud Tate for defendant. 1t ap-
pears that at the place the spill"
occurred, bear the river bridge
there was rut, tie depth of which
was estimated by witnesses to be frol,
four TO eight inches. while passing
this place the sleigh was caught in the
aforesaid rut and upset, injurng Mrs.
Henry as above stated. The result
of this case will probably awake the
Town Council to necessity which
has long been felt, !. e., to repair
River ST., or abandon it entirely, and
thus save future trouble.
The Philharmonic Society of
Meadville, will give the opera of the
Bohemian Girl, commencing this eve.
ming, and continuing three evenings.
This is one of the best musical socie-
ties extanl, and has been drilled un.
der competent instructors for several
years. Prof Boynton has the direc.
torship of the opera. Mrs. Hull, and
several other celebrated vocalists take
part in the opera.
Owing to the new bridge in
oferection over Council Run,
that part of the highway is obstructed,
and teamsters will be compelled to
drive up on to Vine ST., and around
by Sami Clark's residence, and down
again by way of Highland st. 1t
will probably be month ere this
inco onvenience can be remedied.
