Forest County Teachers Institute will
be held in the School House, Tionesta,

ed and practical lessons given in teach
ing. Every Teacher in the County
should attend the Institute. Come the
first day and remain until the close.
This is an opportunity for improve
ment, and you owe it TO yourselves
and your schools. If there are any
teachers in the County so we'll quail
fed ss not to need the benefit to be
derived, they should be willing to be
present and by their influence and ex.
ample assist others more unfortunste.

IA full programme of Lhe exercises
will be published next week
AS to oil news it is limited. The
BalltowA we'll to which we referred
last week as being due, is down and
dry.
Messrs. Grove & Hart are to put
down we'll forthwith on Hemlock
creek, on tract 1923, in Tionosta Twp.
The we'll has been located and work
will begin at once.
Other ventures are going on as at
last report.
The ordinance forbidding the
transportation of nitro-glycerine and
other dangerous explosives through
our borough, was duly passed, ap.
proved and published, and yet several
parties have informed us that vehicles
which they we're satisfied contained
nitro-glycerine have passed through
our place on two or three occasions
since. There is no use of passing an
ordinance and going to the expense of
having it published, unless means are
taken is enforce its provisions, Let
the next batch be captured,
Rev. Mr.. Payne has been here for
the past week, holding series of meet
ings in the M. E. Church. The atten-
dance on the whole was good, and
some interest manifested. Mr.. Payne
was obliged to leave, on Monday last,
on account Of his health. He is an
easnest, devoted, Christian worker, and
it is the opinion of our people, that had
circumstances not rendered it necessa.
ry for him TO leave, he might, perhaps,
have been the means Of doing much
good in this section.
1t will be observed in another
column that the juries drawn for De.
cember Term of Court are notified :hat
they need not appear. OF course, if
the juries don't come in, some of those
very interesting cases set down for this
term cannot be tried, which will be a
great disappointment to those Of our
people who calculated to spend their
holidays listening to learned argu-
ments by the legal gentlemen who talk
for fees.
"A stave mill is being put up at
Jamieson's by Mr.. j. and others. That
is perhaps better point than this at
present. for securing bolts. 1t will not
take long, however, to strip the woods,
within a reasonable distance, of the
kind Of timber suitable for making
slaves. Derickson q Ce.'s mill will
doubtless start up soon, as the propri.
etOrs got lot of logs down on the late
rise, which are being cnt up into bolts.
Our people are getting stirred up
somewhat on the subject of tramps.
On Monday night nine of these pedes-
trians took refuge in the Jail and had
supper and breakfast there. This is
piling it on little thick for a small
place, and our Council will undoubt.
edly take measures to make these gen.
tlemen earn their board and lodging,
