our justice called the case.
d. Graham is out on a fishing ex-
cursion on Fork Run. -
5. D. Irwin, Esq, has placed us
under obligations by leaving with US
a copy of his new map of Forest Coun-
ty, which has just been completed by
Smith, the man who took the highest
prize at the. Centennial for map en-
craving. Over five hundred new names
appear on this map, and particular at
tention is given to the course of
streams. Bridges are all marked each
township is printed in different col
or, and altogether it is probably as
perfect map as will ever be obtained
of our county. Mr.. Irwin supplies
these maps at So for the pocket edi-
ton, and S4 for the wall map. Every
landowner of Forest County should
have a copy. Address S. d. Irwin,
Esq, Tionesta, Pa.
The Murphy meeting at the Court
House on Friday evening last was
we'll attended, and the lecture of Hon.
w. G. Plummer was listened to with
great interest. In our estimation there
is no man engaged in the cause who
is better qualified to present the ques.
tion in All intelligent manner than Mr..
Plummer. AT the close Of his re.
marks seven new signers to the pledge
were obtained. The smallness Of the
number is accounted for by the fact
that nearly all were in the fold before
the last meeting.
On Saturday evening last Mr..
Peter YouDgk, Of Green township, was
kicked in the groin by horse, and SO
severely hurt, that it was at first
thought he would die from the effects.
DR.. Coburn was called ahd dressed the
wound, and the probabilities now are
that Mr.. Youngk will be all right in
the course of week or two. The
horse is an old offender, having kick
ed Mr.. L. Arner last fall, nearly
breaking cne of his legs.
-Thos. +. Simmons, father of Ed.
Simmons, the Oil City defaulter, writes
to the Derrick from Oakland, Cal, to
correct the statement Of that paper in
regard to the divorce case between Ed.
and wife. He states that he has sup
ported the wife since the son has been
in prison. The son has been pardon
ed out by Gov. Hartranft. ThOs. F..
Simmons is the man who built the
Forest County Court House.
"A COW belonging to Hon. j. B..
Agnew broke her neck sometime dur.
ing Monday night, by getting foul in
rope with which she was tied. He
had recently bought the COW over in
the Mealy settlement, and was oblig-
ed to keep her tied nights to keep her
from breaking out and running back
to her old home.
-Trout-fshing is not pursued to any
alarming extent in our county at pres
ent. Occasionally stranger comes
through town with pail of trout
which he has captured in the oldlpart
of the county, but if the sport had been
as moderately pursued for the past
eight years as it has been this year,
our streams would abound with this
the best of all game fish.
"A meeting of the School Board
of Tionesta boro was recently held,
and settlement had with the Treasu-
rer, and q partial settlement with the
tax collector. The new board was or
ganized for the ensuing year by the
election of II. o. Davis as President,
w. r. Dunn Secretary and A. r. Kel-
ly Treasurer. The board adjourned to
meet at the call Of the President.
Maj. Goodman was in town last
week, and we were surprised to learn
that he had been badly hurt last win
ter in a jam of logs. Several of his
ribs were broken and one of his legs
injured. He was Gn his way to Petrol
cum Center to consult with the old
surgeon of his regiment, and see if he
