The Brookvillo Republican says:
"Thc prospects Of large business in
the woods this winter continues, and
already number of jobs have com.
menced. We understand that an ad-
vance will be allowed workmen in
their wages generally, which seems to
be fair, the indications being that
lumber will be worth an advance Of
three to five dollars per thousand next
season." The same suggestions may
be applied to this county. If lumber
is going to be worth from So to So
more in the spring it is but fair that
there should be an advance in wages.
We quote the following from a
private letter to a citizen of this place,
from prominent leader in the Re.
publican party: "We do not think it
strange that the Greenbackers carried
this county, because our county is so
isolated from the general current of
our nations political doings, that it
was in ignorance that the grand old
Republican party had carried every
thing, and that the Greenback party
filled it's own grave, which it dug a
year ago. We think ere long our
Forest county Greenback friends will
"see the or-or of their ways" and will,
with humility Of spirit and great peni-
tence, return to their fathers house,
(the Republican party, but will not
be received as the 'Prodigal of Old :
/. e., the fatted calf will not be killed" !"
Morris Einstein had bad luck
with his lumber which he stated for
Pittsburgh last Friday morning.
Judge Dale had run the raft as far as
Big Sandy and landed it safely.
Charley McCray came along with a
raft just at dusk, aud in attempting to
land knocked Einstein's raft loose
which went on down the river with
but three men and one oar to guide it.
1t soon became so dark that the men
conl do nothing with the raft, and
striking FOxburg piers about mid
night it broke into a half dozen pieces,
leaving the men scattered about on
the different pieces. Seeing they could
do no more with it, and that their
lives were in iminent danger, the men
jumped off leaving the lumber go to
sticks, The raft contained about
175,000 feet of lumber, of which one
half may be saved. One Of the men
was obliged to swim ashore, and mar
rowlY escaped drowning.
The Life and Travels of General
U. S. Grant" by Hon. j. t. Headley,
is one of the finest books now being
offered to the American people. 1t
furnishes acomplete history of one Of
the greatest men now living; also an
account Of his recent Journey Around
the World" 1t is a book of nearly
900 pages, giving a large number OF
beautiful illustrations of battle scenes,
and views of the most interesting
points of his tour. This book should
be in every family that can possibly
afford it, as it is hardly probable that
another opportunity to procure such a
complete history Of one Of America s
most illustrious generals and states
men will ever present itself again.
Mr.. John Heath, of Star P. o.,
has the agency for this county. He
has just finis he'd delivering the first
order, aud will soon commence can
vassing for another. If he should call
on you do not fail to order the book.
--Peterson's Magazine for December
has reached us, aud is by odds the
handsomest number of the year. The
principal steel engraving "The Pet
Pigeons" is unusually beautiful, and
