The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1878-06-05


didate for the Democratic nomination
for State Senate. We can now make
another prediction as regards the DEM
ocratic nominations, and that is, that
we have good reasons for believing
that Maj. Woodcock will be the nom
inee for State Senator, so far as this
county is concerned. Major, we would |
rather see STRAIGHTFORWARD Republic
can occupy that seat, but if we must
have a Democrat, there are not more
than half dozen Democrats in the
District that we would sooner see take
the position than yourself.
Tho Treasurers Sales take place
on next Monday, and the Treasurer,
assisted by Messrs. Brennan and But
terfeld, is busy getting things in shape
for the sales. There are some valua
BILE lands OH the list, and no doubt
many of these tracts will go to sale.
Such lands are good investments in
these times, when capital is lying DOR
mant for want of safe place to put it
out. We have received word from
some parties at distance owning lands
in the county, that they intend to be
on hands. 1t will be noticed by an
advertisement in another column that
$4,000 of the outstanding county bonds
are to be redeemed shortly after the
sales.
AT meeting of the Boro Council
held on last Saturday evening, Mr..
Smith Foreman was appointed by the
Council to build, or cause to be built,
forthwith, those sidewalks which the
owners or occupants of the property
have neglected or refused to build or
repair according to notification. Those
who wish to save the additional ex-
pense entailed upon those whose walks
have to be built or repaired by Mr.. e.
should proceed at once to do it them
selves. 1t is the intention Of the boro
fathers to have good sidewalks in this
borough, and it is altogether probable
that their intentions will be carried
out.
Attention is called TO the new
Boro Ordinance, published in another
column. 1t will be seen that it is made
the duty of the Council to appoint 6
Medical Health Officer and Sanitary
. Committee, to take measures to carry
out the provisions of the ordinance
. At meeting held on Monday eyenin!
last, the Council appointed DIR. j. E
Blaine Health Officer, and the Burgess
appointed Messrs. A, B. Kelly, G. w
Bovard, j. A. Proper, VIM. Richard
and N. S. Foreman Sanitary Commit
tee. Und this board will s
conduct its business as to result in tb
physical well.being of the inhabitant
of Tionesta.
Another insane attempt was mad
G upon the life of the Emperor William
+: at Berlin, few days since, by one d.
:, Nobling, who fred at him from til
:, second story of a house, with a shot
gun loaded with buck shot and small
e shot, part Of the load hitting the En-
n peror in one arm and in the cheel
n Before being taken the assassin a
,, tempted to commit suicide, and infic
G ed injuries upon himself which wi
e probably prove fatal. It is believe
is that the Emperor will recover.
e Mr.. Jno. Osgood, of Newtown, il
IS forms us that Mr.. Mat. Elliot and hin
e, self took little trip up Salmon Cree
'r short time since, and in one da
d caught eleven pounds of trout, 293 b
at count, stopping at four o'clock in tf
ID afternoon. We believe this is tt
t, largest catch made in the. county
le one day by two persons since the sci
le son opened. We publish letter t,
s. day which tells about larger fish of IL
in same variety, and also some sma
y whales of the catfish kind.
