somewhat indisposed for some time,
and expects to recuperate in that 'sec-
ton. His stay will be quite an extern
ded one.
The board of pardons having
refused to commute Tracy's sentence
to imprisonment for life, he will hang
at Smethport, Mexican Co, on the 4th
Of December. A great effort has been
made in his behalf, by the ablest coun-
sci in the State.
The hunters say that until there
is more snow there will be no use
trying to kill deer the woods being
SO tracked up that it is impossible
to follow any one of them any distance.
1t seems from this that there is a
"boom" in the deer business, don't it2
We understand that q marriage
in high life is on the tapis in this place
and that tho event will "come of" some
time next week. The high contracting
parties are said to be A. NJ. Doutt and
Chas. Raisig, the ceremony to be per.
formed by Carr, the butcher, A suite
of rooms has been arranged over
Blums blacksmith shop, in which the
happy pair are to be made one and
inseperable.
Mr.. Frank Newell, who has been
connected with the Central House in
this place since last July, departed
yesterday. He expects to embark in
the mining business at Silver Cliff,
COL, with Mr.. Bittenbender, who has
been in that section for little over a
year, during which time he has
amassed quite fortune. Frank is a
gentleman and scholar, and while
we deprecate his departure, we hope
to hear of him soon as a millionaire.
-Wo are pleased to hear that Mr..
Kepler, of Butler County, has sue
ceeded in getting lands in this county,
which he, as well as other practical
oil men consider on the "belt," in
quantities large enough to justify
him in going on with Developments.
Mr.. K. has proved to our citizens that
he means business, and is therefore
entitled to what might seem a prefer
ence. Iflsnd owners want their prop.
erty developed they need not be
afraid to lease to this company. They
will do just what they say.
From Mr.. Dunn's paper, the
Crookston (Minn.,) CronicIe, we clip
the following: "While our neighbors
one, two, three and four hundred miles
south of us are having skating,
sleighing, and winter generally, our
farmers have their teams out, blowing
the prairie soil up, preparatory to
grand whea crop next year. If it is
too cold for our southern friends to
stand it, We would advise a general
emigration in this direction, where
"svery prospect pleases, and only" a
few men in our whole city could be
called "vile."
Coon" Burhen, of Dutch Hill,
did an excellent stroke Of business
among the deer last week. On Friday
he aud brother killed a very fine
buck. On Saturday they were out
again, starting about three o'clock.
They travelled but a short distance
when they came upon three deer lying
down. Coon says they were standing
about 175 yards off when one of the
deer raised his head, affording him a
long but open shot; when the gun
went off the other two jumped up, and
he Immediately gave one of them the
other barrel, dropping it instantly.
The third made a circle, and came
around about the time he had re.
loaded his gun, and he changed away
and down it come" All this was
done without moving out of his tracks.
When he came to gather up his game,
he found he had broken two of the
deer's necks, and shot the third
through the lights. This we consider
about the best days hunting that has
been accomplished in this county for
several years. If any one beats it we'd
like to hear from him.
