ing at the Woods Heirs well, and Mr..
Baldwin, the Superintendent, has gone
to New York to consult with the ad.
ministrators of the estate relative to
putting down more wells on the tract.
All other ventures remain IN statu quo.
Cornwell's rig, on Dutch Hill will be
finished by Saturday, and drilling will
commence next week.
From the Neaos we learn that some
Tid:oute parties are about to com
mence operations near Dawson's, four
miles up the river from this place.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch of late
date tells of man named Cunning
ham, arrivingiin that city a short time
since, from the Black Hills having
walked all the way; further, that he
was a resident Of Forest county, and
had left here some thre years ago.
Does anybody know the man, and has
he yet reached homeY f. E. Allison,
who has been on q scoot to the Black
Hills for several months past, has
started back by water, in a john.boat
with Il couple of companions, according
to a letter from him in last weeks
Press. He will have 2500 miles to
travel to reach St. Louis, where he ex'
poets to land about the 1st Of Decem-
ber. So far as the record shows, no
citizen of this county has made an ev-
crlasting fortune in the Black Hills.
Mr.. S. S. Holbrook, of Cincinnati,
called on us last week. He confirms
the report that he has disposed of oil
his Forest county property to Mr.. T.
d. Collins, but says that this will not
hinder his coming up to see the coun'
try occasionally. Mr.. II. has, among
other good things, a couple of pure
blood Attorney COWS, the progeny o.
which all seem destined to come into
Forest County. Messrs. Wheeler, Col
Inns, and Keister, of Hickory township
each have one Of these beautiful little
animals, end more are coming. Thei
pedigree is recorded in the prope
place for such records, and can be seer
by any one who will take the trouble
The parents of Mr.. Holbrook's COW
were imported. These animals are o
very afIectionate disposition, ant
give richer milk than any other breed
The fresh milk is almost like cream
Fruit tree men have been MAXIM
Q deliveries he'e recently. This seem
to be a good point for operations i
! that line. OF course there are thos
q who order trees, &c, who are not abl
to lift them when they come on, bu
they are OF that class who will bu
anything that offers if they can onl
get "time" on it, trusting to luck
: enable them to meet tho bills whc
they become due. Luck general
goes back oD them, and thus the tim
eventually comes when they have n
credit whatever.
Geo. Bluerock, Of Minister, wa

opportunity to leave us a fine lot {
patatoes and big pumpkin. JIe lool
heartier, happier, and in every wa
- better than he did four years ago, whe
