New and Hardy Grapes.
GOOD SELECTION FOR THE TABLl

GOOD SELECTION FOR THE TABLE.
The rapid increase in the number of va
rieties of this fruit that has recently been
made, renders it rather q difficult task to
choose out from among them an assortment
that will give the best satisfaction to ALL
Some of the new varieties seem to combine
so many good qualities, that a prominence
given to one variety does not necessarily i'm
ply that the others are not worthy of men
ton, but rather that they are possessed Of
peculiarly distinctive merits that lead US to
give them our special attention. The Amer
can people may congratulate themselves
that they have among them horticulturists
who are untiriug in their efforts to bring out
and combine in few varieties the good
qualities that they see scattered throughout
the many. Thus one variety may be per
fectly hardy, but yielding fruit of very in
ferior flavor; another of excellent quality,
but lacking in size or productiveness. When
these diverse qualities are combined in a
marked degree in certain variety, then it
is that we place that variety in the list called
the "best," and such are some of the kinds
that l would like to describe at this time.
The Lindem.-This is one of the newest
that l will mention, and it gives promise of
receiving very cordial welcome. The vines
reveal unusually thrifty habits of growth,
sending out branches twenty feet on either
side of the main stem, and covering to per-
lection the trellises usually found in our gar
dens. The fruit is of deep black, of equal
ly as good quality as the we'll known Con-
cord )" while some who have tasted it, con.
slider that it is even superior. RipeniDg
fully week earlier than the Concord, yet
the fruit can be allowed to remain on the
vines for weeks, until the approach of frost
"a merit that many will appreciate.
The Lady-The fact that this is white
grape of large size, and that it can be grown
out of doors with as equal ease as can the
red and black varieties, renders it enc of the
most popular grapes that l have upon my
grounds. Ripening very early in the season,

Biblical Revision.

Land seems in sight at last. Steadily but
surely has this important work been going
on; and now we read that the Company have
completed their second revision of the Epis-
tie of St. James. The nation has waited
patiently for work conducted by so many
eminent scholars and divines The study Of
the Bible has become more interesting than
ever, and the recent writings of such Deu ss
Eilicott, aud HowSon, and Farrar, have done
much to make the ordinary reader deeply
interested in all these varied touches Of
thought which cs-eful re-examination Of
the text suggestslg FFe=haVe never feared
that Rationalism would be the gamer. Far
from that, we firmly believe that the result
of all these labors will be to furnish irrefrag
able proof that the word of the Lord is true
and endureth forever. Some timid souls
deprecated the revision at all, lest alien doc
trines might be dragged in, or lest the OLD
granite foundations might be injured. We
rejoice to believe that the revisionists will dc
honor to the laborors who went before them
in the great work, and that there will be fur
nished US in this unsettled age another testi
mony to the fact that the Inspired Word has
nothing to fear from the most searching
criticism, and that another testimony will bt
added to the multitude of existing ones thai
the 4" Word of the Lord is tried word. y

A REMARKABLE STORY An almost in.
credible story is related of Marshal Canro-
bert, who was sent to Rome to represent
France at the funeral of Victor Emmanuel
and the accession to the throne of Hambert
For the expenses of himself and suite he was
given 80, 900 francs, of which he spent only
$4,000. On his return home be went to the
foreign Office and handed to the minister Of
that department the balance, amounting to
II 900 francs. The minister refused to take
the money, saying that there was no prece
dent for such thing; that the outlay was
made and accounted for, and that there was
an end to it. The Marshal answered that il
it was absolutely necessary that somebody
should steal this money he would rather some
one else should do it, and asked for receipt
GOVERNMENT is the true philosopher
stone. The poor are rich that have it, and
the rich are poor without it.

The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1878-10-23

From every precinct of Forest
county come the most cheering reports
Of the prospects for the success of our
county ticket. The candidates are all
found'to be of the most satisfactory
and acceptable character. They are
men enjoying the full confidence and
respect of all who know them, and no
one, whether friend or opponent. ques-
tions their honesty as men, or their ca
pacity to ecceptably fill the several
Offices for which they have been nom.
mated. Every candidate on the Re-
publican ticket can bear the closest
scrutiny as to honesty and capability,
and that is all the people require. The
Republicans are active in the work of
the campaign, and during the next two
weeks every effort will bo made to
arouse those who are as yet indiffer.
ent to the necessity Of activity and
steady work if they would pile up our
usual majority for the ticket. Sue.
cess this year will place Forest in the
column of Republican counties for
years to come, and forever dissipate
the dreams of the third factor, the "fiat
money" party, in regard to ever MAX
ing n show in our county. The Re-
publicans of Forest have nothing to
fear from any comparison of their can
didates with those on the opposing
tickets. From the highest to the low.
est our candidates are men who will
be benefited by the closest scrutiny as
to their character for integrity and
ability-the more searching the scru.
tiny the more satisfactory the result
will be. With such a ticket every
Republican and every citizen who de.
sires to see the Offices filled by honest
and competent men, can labor for sue.
cess without me ntal reservation, and
without apprehension that their sue
cess might bring dishonOr or loss to
the county. Let every earnest man
throw himself into the work of the
campaign and do what he can from
now until election day for the success
of the whole ticket and the result will
be victory, full, complete and glorious.

For each male dog, the sum of fifty cents,

A very successful meeting was held
at Allender School House, on last Fri.
day evening, which was addressed by
Messrs. Lathy, Wheeler and Randall
During Mr.. Lathy's remarks, DR.. Co.

the speaker with q question. Mr.. La.
thy deferred his answer until the
speech was concluded, when he invited
any one present to ask questions. DR.
Coburn was still present, but had sub.
sidod, which looks very much as if hi:
object was not to get information, but
to interrupt The progress of the meet
ing. The meeting was we'll attended

Address of Chairman of Republican
County Committee.

REPUBLICANS OF FOREST COUNTY,
Again the time has come when the
Republican party is called upon to
sustain its position before the civilized
world, as the party of freedom, of ad-
vanced ideas and honest payment of
IFS national obligation. We are in the
midst of great political struggle in
which the honor Of the Nation, nay,
is very life may be at stake. The
gathering of the clans of Repudiators,
Political Demagogues, Disappointed
Office Seekers and Communists may
be seen in every State of the Union.
Ihe appeal of their leaders to the
prejudices and passions of the strug.
Cling masses, is wicked in the extreme,
md merits unqualified condemnation
md scorn.
The Democratic party, tho great
party of opposition (the hind wheel Of
|he wagon), IS running after this paper
a7 Cor deviD of imitation, with fren.
ed determination to gather its vota-
'ss into its rapacious nav.

Owing to the inclemency of the
weather the Democratic meeting at
the Court House last Thursday eve.
ming was rather slimly attended. Mr.
Guffey, the Democratic candidate for
Congress, opened the meeting with a
very brief speech. He certainly is
no orator, whatever other qualification
he may have for the position which he
seeks. AS far as we could Judge, the
impression he created on the audience
was not greatly in his favor. Hon.
VIM. l.. Corbett next addressed the
audience at some length, making no
points in particular against the Re-
publicans, but rather slashing the
greenbackers. He made the assertion,
however, that if White and Mosgrove
were the only candidates out for Con.
gress in this district he should be in.
clined to cast his vote for White. Mr.
VIM. P. Furey, a young man from
Harrisburg, was next introduced. Mr.
Furey made quite an eloquent speech
and told some rather laughable sto,
ries, but We discovered no pith,-nc
body, so to speak, in his very smooth
and beautifully-worded address. He
can entertain an audience very we'll
but he will never make a successful
missionary for the Bourbon cause
Had the weather been good the audi
ence would doubtless have been larger
and the enthusiasm correspondingly
increased.
