The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1877-03-28


Landers how much steam was on, but
no attention was paid. While Lacy
and English were discussing the pro-
priety of leaving the mill-but a few
minutes after-the explosion occurred.
The wounded are doing we'll. Lacy
and English have been removed to
their homes in Warren Co. Though
the other two are badly hurt, and low,
the probabilities are that they will re-
cover.
Hon. j. b. Agnew returned from
Harrisburg on Monday. We inter-
viewed him yesterday, and called his
attention to an article on the Assem-.
bly, question in the last issue of the
Press. He says that he considers him
self vindicated, and is satisfied with
the result, But he does not propose,
as the Press suggests, TO overhaul the
Tionesta townshsp matter before the
Courts. He has already spent more
money in the contest than his salary
as Assemblymau has amounted to,
and he doesn't propose to go to any
more expense in the matter. He says,
however, that if any are not satisfied
he would be glad to see them pursue
their investigations as far as they
want to, but not at his expense. He
has left with us copy of the whole
case, and called our attention to GER
tain portions of the testimony, which
we would be glad to reproduce did
space permit. He informs US that
Mr.. Haslet draws his pay in full for
the session. G. w. Allen, Esq, of
TidiOute, Agnew's counsel, made a
nasterly Argument before the com.
mittee against the decision of the
Court of Forest County throwing out
tho vote of Barnett township.
The wife of Mr.. Ford, of Presi-
dent, died very suddenly on Thursday
night last. With her husband she
had been spending the evening at the
house Of Mr.. Jas. Gayetty, and seem.
ed in usual good health and spirits
After returning home she was taken
with severe pains in the head and
vomiting. Mr.. Ford desired to &c
after a doctor, but she said she didn'l
want one. Finally she agreed that he
should call in neighbor lady. Short
ly after the lady arrived Mrs. Ford
died. DIR. Davis, of Oil City was
sent for, and gave it as his opinion
from what he could see, and what
was told him of her sickness. that she
had died of neuralgia of the heart
She had been married but about sew,
en- months. Her husband departed
with the body to her home, in Lowell
Mass, on Friday evening last. The
deceased is very highly spoken of by
her neighbors, and the bereaVed hus
band has the sympathy of all.
From information which we sup
posed was reliable, we last week stated
that the run of lumber aud timber
from this point would be larger thi,
year than usual. One of our largest
manufacturers, however, informed vi
us on Thursday last that the state
ment was incorrect, and that the rur
would be considerably smaller thar
usual in fact that the lumber run OIL
the Allegheny this spring would moi
be more than half as large as usual
We make the correction with pleas
ure.
The roads throughout the county
are Just now in bad condition, the
breakup leaving the mud of al
depths. 1t would be a fine idea t.
put Nicholson pavement on the roads
of our county, but we fear property
owners would grumblo greatly at thc
road taxes.
ID. w. Clark, PrOthOnOtary start
ed to Buffalo, on business, on Mon
day last. During his absence the of
fee is in care of j. I. Dale, Deputy
Prothonotsry, who will attend to al
business Of the Office.
