to know. We have heard it estimated
at from 5 to 40 barrels. Mr.. II. II.
May has taken lease on the Kepler
farm, and the timbers are being taken
out for the rig. Operations will COM
mence as rapidly as possible. The
Cornwell we'll, on Dutch Hill, is To-
Gated on Mr.. Bonner's land, adjoining |
Lomire's, instead of on Lomire's place,
as stated last week. The machinery |
for this we'll went through town yes
terday, and the work will doubtless be
pushed through rapidly.
-Mr. Jas. H. Fohes, who formerly
kept the drug store at this place, met
with sad accident on Saturday last,
which will render him cripple for
life. About o'clock p. nj. he was
unloading a car of lumber at Imperi-
al, or Siverlyville, as it is called by
the old inhabitants, when the car upon
which he was working was run into by
an engine, knocking him off the car in
such a manner that his left arm was
caught under the moving wheels, and
cut OF about two inches below the ell
bow. Amputa:ion was performed the
same evening, by Drs. Davis and Eg-
bert, and the sufferer is getting along
as we'll as could be expected, having
good care. All his friends will be
grieved to learn of his misfortune. He
is q member ef the Odd Fellows Lodge
of this place, and it is comfort to
know that he receives a substantial
benefit until his recovery. He is stop
ping at the house Of his uncle, Walter
Siverly.
We feel ashamed, as n citizen of
Tionesta. TO report the fact that during
our absence, last week, some illegitl-
mate son ofa-goatthieflugged off three
large Hubbard squashes from our gar
den. We suffered the same loss last
year, with the addition of couple
more squashes and it is not long since
our crop of grapes was stolen. Now
we are filled with the milk of human
kindness, an /, moreover, since the oil
market declined we have been rather
short of currency, but we stand ready
to pay $3.50 foE a pop at the thief or
thieves with our shot guu-6O yards

cuss come forth.
BY reference to the Borough Or
dinancc published to-day, it will be
seen that our borough fathers do not
propose to stand idly by and allow
themselves and their constituents to be
sent to Paradise by means of nitro
glycerine, dualin, dy Mantle, gun-cot
ton, phosphorus, or other explosive oil
other dangerous compounds, MS Ions
as they are able to raise u voice ol
pass an ordinance. Long live our Dor
ough fathers May their eyesigh
never falter, their ears never grow dul
nor their hands palsy until there arr
) no more suspicious vehicles to spy out
no more nitro.glycerine explosions Il
. hear, and no more ordinances to or
J dain.
Our woods are now radiant il
their most beautiful colors. In tn
fall, when the life-blood of the leave
) is poured forth like the death-sOnl
of the swan, and in the spring, whel
they come forth garlanding with beau
ty the graves of their predecessors, ou
scenery is as enchanting as that of tn
Alps. OF course, when a person tramp
all day over these everlasting hill
s after game which he doesn't get, b
}. cannot properly appreciate the beaut
= of the scenery about him, but it
= ifaere, nevertheless.
