Judge Cook, of Cocksburg, and
one Mr.. Ewing, of Pittsburgh, will
probably put down four wells near
Cooksburg during the present season.
The arrangements are about perfected, 4,
and we must not be surprised to hear
Of a new oil field being opened up in
Forest county. Should this be the
case, We doubt not but the new rail
road Will he built forthwith. Judge
Cook is also. putting up a new circular
saw mill on Maple creek, to do some
of his own and custom saving during
the coming fall and winter. Boat
building is quite lively over there,
Cook having sent down eleven boats
during this season, and II. 2. Spence,
few miles above has sent about doz
Ell to market. The margin is not large,
but the builders make fair profits.
Saturday nights Murphy Meeting
in the Presbyterian church, was we'll
attended, but the speaker who was to
address the meeting, by some means
or other failed to put in an appearance,
which was quite disappointment to
some. However, the evening was
pleasantly passed by music and few
appropriate remarks from several
among whom were Rev. Elliot, S. d.
Irwin Esq, Mr.. Kelly, and others.
The number of singers was small only
seven, which was probably owing to
the fact that nearly all present had
been previously gathered into the roll.
Another meeting was appointed for a
week from next Tuesday evening,
when prominent speakers will be on
hand without fail.
DIR. fowler, of the fowler q
James well, at Marienvlle, is ut woi k
putting up new rig, some little dis
tance east Of that venture, and calcu-
lates, when the time, which he consid-
ers the right time, comes, to put down
several wells, to thoroughly test that
territory. 1t will be recollected that
his letter to the Derrick, of which we
gave a synopsis at the time, expressed
the opinion very decidedly, that he
did not consider the fowler & james
we'll fair test, and still had conf.
dence in Forest county territory. His
operations tend to confirm the idea
that he is in earnest. We wish him
good luck, in or out of Forest county.
The Mollie Maguires who are to
hang at Pottsvlle this week are James
Donahuo, Thomas Manly, Hugh Nc
Gehan, Thomas Duffy, James Boyle,
James Roarity, James Carroll and
Thos. Campbell-eight in all. The
Board Of Pardons has rendered its de-
cision, which was a refusal to interfere
with the action of the court. We are
little anxious to know whether ethey
will all be dropped at the same time,
or be compelled to sit around like Gus
toners in barber shop each fellow
waiting for his "uext."
Mr.. Chadwick killed rattlesnake
on the railroad track the other day
which had nine rattles. Mr.. Saul
killed copperhead, also on the rail
road, measuring nearly four feet. Zip
Guiton has not visited his rattlesnake
den this season yet, but expects to
bring in a cart load some day soon.
