week. Nothing of general Importance
was transacted. The regular Febru-
ary term, it is thought, will be large
court.
"A large boat is moored a short
distance above town, containing five
families bound for the west. They are
from Forest county.-EmJent0n Regis
ter. Must be some mistake about this.
We have heard of no families leaving
this county iE this way.
We have received a very hand
somely gotten up book entitled "On
the Road to Riches" published by j.
Fred Waggoner, Chicago. 1t contains
many valuable hints and suggestions
to young men just starting out in bus
mess, and would be an excellent book
for every young man in the country.
We had pleasant call from Mr..
A. W. Cook, of Cooksburg, this county,
and Sam. w. Calvin Esq, one Of the
legal lights of Clarion, who is partner
Of Hon. WIN. Corbet, well known to
our citizens, They were accompanied
by Mr.. r. S. Macbeth, Judge Cooks
book.keeper. Call again gentlemen.
Mr.. Jno. Hart, of the firm of
Grove, Hart q Co., returned from
Bradford last Saturday, smiling all
over. They have just finished their
fourth we'll in the Tram Hollow dis
trict, and it was spouting at the rate
of 90 barrels when he left. Their
many wellwishers in this place will
be happy to hear this.
Probably the largest hog ever killed
in Forest county was brought to town
last week by G. f. Cropp; it weighed
446 pounds dressed. Another weigh.
ing 375 pounds was killed by Fred
Longer, Of Dutch Hill. These are
fine specimens, and no doubt would
take the premium at the county fair
if we had the fair.

Business must be booming on
Bates Run these days. Mr.. Avery
has a large contract of getting out
bolts for the new stave mill Of Derrick
SON & Co. He has sub-contracted part
of the job, and about 80 men are now
at work and are creating sad hovec
with the white oak timber. Messrs.
Noble q Carson have several men at
work on job near the same place, ,and
some eight or ten men are bossed by
III. L. Moody, When these parties
get through with that tract of timber
there will be hardly enough left to
tell the story.
The time table of the p. I. & B.
r. r., will be found corrected in
this issue, and can be relied upon for
accuracy. The present schedule is the
most convenient for parties in this
vicinity that we have ever had.
During conversation with Supt. Will
son one day last week he spoke very
encouragingly of the future prospects
of the Road. 1t is evident from the
way the road has been managed since
he assumed control that he has studied
the wants and conveniences of the
public, aud has admirably succeeded
in supplying those wants. Mr.. Wilson
is one of the pleasantesJ and most agree.
able gentlemen we have ever met, and
his winning and urbane manner is
making him hosts of friends all along
the line. Long may he superintend
the P. 7. & B.
Our thanks are due to Messrs.
Ssybolt and Reid, managers of the
Brookston Dramatic Society, for an
invitation to a Christmas entertain
