The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1878-06-19

The particulars of the death of
James Flynn, which we noticed last
week, are thus told us:
Mr.. F., in company with his brother
and two other men, were breaking a
log-pile on the bank of Licking creek,
and the business not progressing as
speedily as he desired, he took jam
pole, and assisted in breaking the pile.
The log, started, and failing to get out
of the way soon enough, he was thrown
down, his head striking a log, in the
creek, while another log flew out of
the pile, striking the back of his head,
which was completely crushed between
the two. He was buried aC Fryburg.
Hon. M. L. Lockwood has With
drawn from the contest for the Dem
cratic nomination for Senator in Clar-
ion county. This leaves the contest in
that county between Messrs. Brown
and Corbett, and the victor will have
to run his chances in the district con.
vention with man from each county.
AS Clarien has had the Senator for
two years, it may happen that some
other county will present better claims
and carry away the prize.
P. S.-Since the above was in type
we learn that Mr.. Brown has been
nominated by the Clarion county Con-
vention by large majority. Pat.
Graham received the nomination for
County Treasurer.
Mr.. d. F. Copeland, of Harmony
Township, is to-day announced as a
candidate for County Auditor, subject
to Republican usages. AS there was
but one candidate announced for this
Office, and two persons are to be placed
in nomination for County Auditor, we
do not think that we are straining
the rules to any alarming extent. IF
there had been two candidates pre-
viously announced, we shonld not feel
at liberty to insert this announcement,
but under the circumstances our con-
science fails to accuse us.
The Woods Heirs have finished
their second dry, or nearly dry, hole,
and the rig has been rooved to another
part of the tract, about three quarters
Of a mile distant, and drilling, we be-
lisve, has commenced. Whatever 9th.
er landholders may do, the Woods
Heirs are determined that their tract
shall be developed, and that in the
most thorough manner. Had others
followed their example we would no
doubt have had a regular excitement
in some part of the county before this
time.
The new sidewalks are being built
in substantial manner, and it will
not be long until pedestrian can
travel the length of the town without
danger to life or limb. The method
prescribed by the ordinance for build
ing new walks has been criticised by
some persons, but before it was adopt
ed the Council got what they consid-
cred the best advice on the subject,
and the ordinance was made in accor-
dance Herewith. There is no doubt
but the new method is vastly superior
to the old one.
"A complete stone foundation is
being put under the main part of the
Central House. Pat. Joyce has the
job, and is putting it through as rap
idly as possible. He will make a good
strong foundation. The owners are
also building wing on the south end
of the house, the dimensions Of which
will be 32x50 feet. When this part is
finished the Central will be a large
and commodious house.
Republicans, vote for DR.. Coburn
for Assembly. He is the aCOrking mani s
friend, and opposed to all monopolies.
