her daughter. At this place, where
raft is tied, is favorite playground
for large number Of children who
live in that part of town the water is
very deep there, and it will be won

The Boro. Council met on Satur-
day evening last, and talked all over,
and around, and through the question
Of passing an ordinance against the
carrying Of nitro ycerine through
our town. The ordinance was not pass
ed, however, and VIC can still have the
comfort Of knowing that if our citizens
are blown all over our beautiful hills,
spelling the looks Of the scenery, rem
dering the river water unfit for use,
and scaiing away the potato bugs, that
nobody will have any damages to pay.
After being reminded of it sever
al times by sundry Grand Jurics, our
County Commissioners have at last
invested in bell for the Court House.
1t was put in position last week, and
we had fine opportunity Of knowing
its merits from the fact that anybody
whom curiosity, business or spite cali
ed Up there for somo days, gave the
rope a jerk, and ding. dong went the
bell for greater or less period. It is
a good bell and the Commissioners got
it at a bnrgain- -$185.
New potatoes have made their ap.
pearance in our market, and are COB,
bled up rapidly by those Of our cili.
zens who have not potato patches of
their own. The general impression is
that the price will net be so elevated

terrible lot Of potato hungry mortals
in this section. The wire edge is of
their appetites now, however, and it
is not likely that this useful tubcr will
bring fancy prices any more.
AT the last Murphy meeting, held
on the 81 inst, Mr.. Boggs, of Oil City
addressed the audience. His remarks
we're very good, indeed, but unfortu-
nately he spoke in such low tone OF
voice that those in the back part ol
the court room could not follow him
1t was decided that no moro regular
meetings be held until September, but
that the President might call special
meetings at.any time previous to thai
date. There were few new signors
-Dr. Coburn has gone into the
reptile business, and has on hand a
live rattlesnake, nearly four feet long
which he captured with the help of j
e. Wenk, on Dutch Hill, one day last
week. We hate reptiles Of all kinds
and wouldn't have pet Of that kind
around us if we could make a fortunC
out of it. We believe the DR.. calcu-
lates to iatten the snake and extract
the oil for some purpose or other.
Under the direction Of Mr.. Rich,
ards the Superior Lumber Company
has put in 10000 logs at Lamentation
to be cut at the mills here. This is q
sufficient quantity to keep the mill:
busy fer quito while. Machinery
has been put in to work up the slab.
into lath &c, so that thsse will be ve-
ry little waste hereafter.

for the sole purpose of making un
happy his brother editors who havn'
