Mr.. G. g. Butterfeli, after an
absence Of tive or three years to his
old home in WestmorelaDd county,
has moved back to Tionesta. We are
glad to welcome him back, as he is a
good citizen and straight forward
man.
Mr.. Brush, who has been having
a long seige of pneumonia, is yet con-
fined to the house, but is improving in
health. Mr.. Quinn is convalescing.
Mr.. Dai rah has had an attack of the
quincy, but is now out again.
We acknowledge the receipt of
"Vick's Illustrated Catalogue and
Floral Guide" for 1878. 1t is some
thing which should be in the hands Of
every one who pays any attention to
gardening or Horticulture. These cat
alogues are forwarded twice year to
all customers of Mr.. Wick. Address

1t doesn't take very much to Gre
ate panic in town of this size. A
dry season will cause number of wa
ter wells to go dry and then there is a
water famine. just now there is
milk famine, nearly all the cows in
town having taken notion to go dry
at the same time. Butter famines
occur frequently, and egg famines are
regular visitations. When our ship
comes in, or in other words, when this
becomes the centre of large produc.
ing territory, we shall probably not be
bothered with these minor annovances.
The attention of our readers is
directed to tho new advertisements in
this issue:
Mr.. H. Fl. Evans, well and favora-
bly, known here, has embarked in the
boot and shoe business in Tidioute.
and invites the public through our
columns to give him call when in
that place.
Miller Bros. of Cleveland, advertise
their Chemical Paint, which has been
sold for upward of year by Robin
son d Bonner of this place, and who
will continue to keep it. This paint
has given perfect satisfaction here, ,and
will undoubtedly have a large sale as
soon as spring opens.
Solomon Byers aavertises a steer
which he has taken up, which the
owner can have by complying with
the law in such cases made and pro.
vided.
Messrs. Kelly & Robinson advertise
a sketch of some proposed legislation
on the dog and sheep question. We
hope to make enough money on the
ad. to pay our dog tax for few years,
after which we suppose we will have
to kill the dog.
Sheriff Shawkey advertises some
valuable real estate for sale on the
2Sth inst. A rare chance for some
body to acquire some oil territory.
AS our numbering business is not
what it once was, a great mauy of our
young men are obliged to seek work
elsewhere, and naturally drift into the
oil regions. When they come home
for holiday they tell some large sto-
ries, and indeed some which cannot be
fully believed without unbounded faith
or further confirmation. Here is a
story one of them got off on New
Years day;
"They had a mush and milk festival
at Bullion. The yeomanry of sur
rounding districts was engaged in
hauling milk to town for a week be-
fore the festival. A four thousand
barrel tank was filed with mush, and
the management fattered themselves
that the arrangements we've complete,
and that such thing as getting short
of mush or milk was one !of the inn
possibilities. But, such was the rush
