LOCAL AND MISCELLANEOUS.

j. T. Brennan Esq. IS at present
writing suffering from an attack of
quinzy. He will probably be out in a
few days.
Pat. Joyce is squarrying stone with
which to wall up the banks Of that
portion of Council Run which flows
through Partridge's property. That
run is a source of expense to Mr.. F.,
as we'll as source of convenience.
The culvert under the road south
of Chas. Hinton's place, having washed
out so badly as to be dangerous, Mr..
Geo. Haslet was awarded the contract
of putting in a new culvert at that
point, and he is busily engaged upon
the job.
In the election proclamation we
have been instructed to change the
announcement Of the place of holding
elections in Howe Township from
Brookston Hall to Brookston School
House. This, we understand is an
order of the Court.
Quite a number of our citizens
drove over to Titusville yesterday, to
witness the wonderful shooting Of DIR.
Carver, and somo Of them brought
back evidences Of his skill in the shape
of coins with holes shot through them.
The DIR. shoots day in Oil City.
The stave mill bas not been run
ming for the last couple of weeks, on
account Of the jammed.up condition
of the contractor, Mr.. Adams, whose
wounds and bruises now appear to be
healing rapidly. 1t will be some time,
however, before he will be able to do
his usual amount of labor.
We have no report of the proceed
ings of the School Board, because it
has been a matter of impossibility to
get the directors together, part of them
being out of town, part sick, and the
balance not large enough to constitute
a quorum. A meeting will be held at
the earliest practicable moment.
-Chas. Hinton was awarded the
contract of repairing the Tu5bs' Run
bridge, his bid being the lowest handed
in. There is no question but our au-
thorities will have to put in a new
bridge up there within year or two,
as the present structure is not calcuIa-
ted to stand much more wear and
tear.
The "boys" got up party at Bo-
wards Hall on Friday evening last.
which was we'll attended and highly
appreciated by all who were present.
McCray's band furnished the music,
which it is needless to say was excel
lent. The "boys" came out just about
even, which suited them perfectly, as
they didn't care to make any money
out of it.
AT meeting Of the Council OF
this place, held n last Saturday even.
ing, permission was given to j. j.
Fisher to dig drain from his premi
ses to the river, the expense thereof to
be paid by him, and applied on his
, road taxes hereafter. The water was
standing on his land, making it very
unpleasant for the families residing
thereabouts, and unhealthy for the
town.
In this issue we send our readers
supplement containing political mat
ter covering all the issues of the day
and explaining the financial question
in such clear, straightforward man
ner that it has only TO be read to carry
conviction with it. Let every reader
Republican, Democrat and Green
backer, peruse every word in our sup
plement, and it will do them good, es
pecially if they attend its counsel.
On our second page will be founC
a somewhat lengthy and quite inter
$ esting letter from Chas. Bonner, VIII
is bound to see as much of Europe a
possible before he returns home. H
is evidently keeping his eyes and ear
open, and the trip will be of vast ben
