expressed by those who visited Mag.
ara Falls on the last excursion, have
looked the ground over, and concluded
to run another train to the Falls on or
about the 10th Of September, provided
enough tickets are subscribed for to
guarantee them from loss. This step
is rendered necessary owing to the
great expense attendant upon the ex-
cursion. A paper will shortly be left
in the hands Of some citizen here, and
those who wish to visit the Falls can
leave with bin their names and the
number of tickets they desire. The
price Of the tickets will be the same as
before, but probably some better ar
rangement can be made at the Falls
in regard to items Of expense, as the
season will be nearly over. We will
have further particulars next week in
the meantime. those who contemplate
visiting the Falls can look about them
for ways and means. The gentlemen
having charge of the excursion will do
everything in their power for the ac.
commodation of excursionists.
Mr.. Woods, who has been putting
down holes on the Woods Heirs tract
without any very encouraging results,
has determined to try other Territory
in this section, and to that end has
broken ground on Peters Run, few
rods above the Lacytown Road, where
he will sink well forthwith. Ex Sh'G
Van Giesen is putting up the rig, and
will probably finish it this week. The
we'll is located on Judge Propcr's land
within short distance of some of
Si:kles' property. Mr.. Woods tried
to get lease from Mr.. Sickles, but
the latter wanted one fourth royaIty--as
much as is generally charged in the
best producing territory. He will
probably get his land developed at
that rate sometime in the Year Of our
Lord 1000. One-eighth royalty is the
largest figure we have ever heard of
in wildcat territory, and unless oil
gets up little there will not be many
leases operated at that. A good show
of oil was gotten near the site of Mr..
Woods new venture several years ago.
After we had gone to press last
week, we received letter from q Ma.
rienville correspondent, giving the par
ticulars in regard to the death of Mr..
Albert Butler, which differ in no es.
sential manner from the details as pub,
l;shed in last weeks paper. AT the
corouer's inquest, DR.. fowler, assisted
by DR.. Atchisou, of Youngstown, o.,
made a post mortem examination, and
on washing off the blood they found &
small wound of one. half inch in length
on the left temple. They removed a
portion of the scalp, and found almost
the entire temporal bone forced in on
the brain. The jury found on the per
son Of the deceased bunch of keys, {
pocket knife, the sum of thirty.sever
dollars and eighty cents in money anc
sundry papers. The inquest was helC
by j. W. Cole, j. p, instead of Esq
Livingstone.

for Chautauqua Lake yesterday, afto
a short visit in town at Mr.. Mays
Mr.. Stow, who is in the coal busines
at Hartford City, reports that busines
very dull, and from the way he ex
pressed himself, We rather though
that he would about as soon live il
Forest county as anywhere. Fores
county would as soon have him bacI
as any citizen she has ever lost.
