assumes shape.
ELI FLoleman has been in at the
death Of several deer this fall, and will
probably hang up several more before
the season closes. He shoots with a
Winchester.
Attention is called to the new ad-
vertfsement of Ludwig Mayer, wholss-
sale and retail dealer in tobaccos,
liquors, etc, etc. He carries large
stock and sells at low figures.
The present damp weather is pc.
culiarly favorable for the contracting
of colds, which bring with them null
titude of attendant disorders. A little
attention to the laws of health just
now will save q good deal of trouble
in the future.
-Messrs. May & Kelly have deliv-
cred large bill of lumber and timber
to Mr.. Z. L. Clapp, at President, for
the erection of a large grist mill at
that place. The mill is to be located
about one.fourth mile up Hemlock
creek.
The new we'll on the Hill farm is
down, and is pumping little more
than three barrels of heavy oil per
day. Three barrels of this oil brings
as much as sixteen barrels of light oil.
The Hill farm is Therefore good terri.
tory. The oil was struck at about
200 feet.
Sheriff Shawkey, who has just re.
turned from Fox's old Mills, says the
old oil we'll which is near there, flows
a stream Of oil about the size of a rye
straw, and that the oil colors the creek
about half way across. This looks ia.
vorAble for the future of Forest as oil
territory.
The Nursery for December is to
hand, and nobly sustains its reputa.
ton as the very best periodical pub
lished for the youngest class Of read
erS. The subscription price is $3.50 a
year, postpaid, with great reduction to
clubs. Address John L. Shorey, 26
Bromfeld Street, Boston, Mass.
Those of our habitual hunters
who have been out in the old part of
the county, tell US that the squirrels
are very numerous in the beech woods,
but are not molested much on account
of the fear of driving away the deer.
One hunter shot half dozen squirrels
in an hour, one day last week.
From what We can learn, we believe
there are more hunters in the woods
this fall than ever before in one sea-
son. IF each man gets deer we are
afraid some will have TO be driven in
from adjoining counties, 1t is to be
hoped that there sill be no accidents,
of which there is alSays great danger
when the woods are SO full of hunters.
Our tax-gatherers are around sug,
gesting payment to citizens of the Dor.
Ough, and they will probably earn
their commissions by the time their
duplicates are satisfied. P. M. Clark
has the extra borough duplicate, and
also that of the county and bond tax.
Fred Kopman has the school dupli-
cate.
We are requested to state that
there will be grand shooting match
in town on Saturday next, at which all
rifle shootists can have an opportunity
to secure turkey for Thanksgiving.
The shoot will probably take place on
Hunters Island. The arrangements
will be made at the Lawrence House
on the morning of the match. Dis
tances. ETC., to suit the marksmsn. All
are invited to attend.
Several car loads of hard coal
have been delivered here within few
days, and Mr.. Brennan, who orders for
Tionesta, will have a few tons more
than he has orders for. Any one wish
ing few loads can be accommodated
by applying to him, For a couple of
months past it has been almost impos.
sible to get hard coal shipped here, on
account of the mines supplying the
