The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1879-07-23

On Monday evening last, as the
9;20 train was nearing the trestle at
Buck Run the engineer noticed some
thing lying scross the track at the
west end Of the trestle. He had hardly
time to stop his train ere the obstruc.
ton was reached, which proved to be
a hickory pole, about ten feet long
and four inches in diameter. An ex.
animation showed it to be the identical
pole that had been laid on the track,
at the same place, about ten days pre-
viously, as the marks where the engine
wheel had struck it at that time were
plainly visible. A strong rope and a
short shrift is what is needed most in
the vicinity of Buck Run, as the mis-
creant who will deliberately do that
which will result in death and disaster
to innocent parties, in order to crafty
his petty spite toward the railroad
company, deserves no mercy from God
or his fellow men. Clarion Repub;

The attention of our readers IL
called to the time table Of the Buffalo,
Chautauqua Lake & Pittsburgh II. r.,
in to.day's paper. This road which
has always been known as the Across
Gut" has recently been thoroughly
overha uled and refitted, and is now
under the management Of a very eff.
cient set Of officers. New and elegant
coaches have been put on, and many
improvements made, in consequence of
which the travel is rapidly increasing.
w. S. Baldwin Esq, with whom most
Of our citizens are we'll and favorably
acquainted, has been appointed Gen.
eral Passenger Agent Of the road, and
well do his executive abilities and
fine personal qualities fit him for the
position. Should any Of our readers
contemplate trip in that direction
by all means go by the way Of the b.
G. L. & z. II. Il.
From many parts Of the county
comes the cheering news that beech
nuts viii be abundant this season ;
this being the case we may expect
another great influx of wild pigeons
this fail, which will be hailed with Joy
by all our sporting men. and lovers
of the gun. Nuts Of all kinds promise
an abundant crop, especially chestnuts
and butternuts. The oak trees are
also loaded with acorns, which will
no doubt draw squirrels into the
country. In fact small game of all
kinds will doubtless be plenty, except,
perhaps pheasauts and even these
choice birds will likely be numerous
in places where the forest fires did not
touch.
From private letter from our
young friend and former townsman,
Sam. Bonner, we learn that he is loca-
ted at mining camp called Los Ger
rellos, about 25 miles from Santa Fe,
New Mexico. He writes that he, in
company with half a dozen young
men, are developing some mines there
which promise rich thing. He con-
fidently thinks that 100000 is a rea-
sonable estimate of what their interests
will be worth to them whom they once
get thoroughly under operation.
Shake, Sam. May you fully realize
your fondest hopes.
