departure of Mrs. Mabie's family, who
take up their abode in the city of
Erie, where they have purchased, and
will hereafter conduct the Commercial
Hotel They have lived so long in
Tionesta, that they will be very much
missed by our citizens. Frank, who
left on Saturday last, has always been
great favorite with all who chanced
to make his acquaintance, and be
leaves behind host of friends who
will never cease to remember him, and
rejoice at his success in life. Harry
will be particularly missed by the
young ladies, however; we don't pro-
pose, in this connection, to mention
any names. Mrs. Mabie's many lady
friends will always heartily welcome
her whenever she may pay them a
visit. May they all prosper and be
abundantly happy.
"A party consisting of nine per-
sons and dog, the family Of Isaac
johnson, passed through town Mon
day, in a sort of prairie Schooner"
on their way to Lycoming county, Pa.
Thirteen years ago Mr.. Johnston
moved to Iowa from the aforesaid
county, for the purpose Of making his
fortune by farming, but after this long
term Of years he concluded that his
home in Pennsylvania was "just as
good thing as he wanted" aud ac-
cordingly, on the first day of last
April he packed up and started,
making the entire trip with his team.
IIe says they averaged about 25 miles
a day.
The Odd Fellows of this place
have, we understand, in c0ntempla.
tion the erection Of large building
during the summer, for the use Of the
Lodge, and for other purposes. The
Dimensions Of the building are to be
about 80 So the first story to be
made a store.room; the second into
offices, and the third into lodge
room. They have already good bid
for the first story, and the offices will
be taken as soon as finished. The pro.
ject is a good one, and the building
would undoubtedly pay for itself in a
short time in rents. We hope to see
the building finished before snow flies.
Last Friday Andrew Weller came
to town with the finest lot Of trout we
have seen for many years. In one jar
he had 600, which, according to his
story, he and his two sons, Abe and
John, caught on the branch ofSalmon
creek, in one day. The other jar con-
tanned 800, weighed 10 pounds, and
were all caught out of Salmon creek,
on Thursday last by himselfand John.
This makes q total of $50 trout in two
days, and if any party beats it we
should be very glad to hear from them,
but We doubt If it can be done. Andy
took them to Oil City, but how we'll
he sold them We did not learn.
The celebration of Mr.. and Mrs.
Coburn's crystal wedding, on last
Thursday evening was very pleasant
occasion. The guests assembled rather
late in the evening, but as most all
stayed until the wee sma' hours, it
made up for what time was lost in
getting there. Dancing was the prin.
cipal amusement of the evening, and
all seemed to enjoy themselves. The
refreshments were very nice, and rel.
ished by all. The presents were nu-
merOus, varied, useful and ornamen.
tai. Altogether the event was very
enjoyable, and will long be remem-
bered by many who were present.
: Two weeks ago Mr.. A. H. Darrah
took his child, a bright little girl
about five years old, whose feet were
badly deformed, to Pittsburgh and
: placed her under the treatment of Drs
Dixon, who performed the operation
of strengthening the feet. The child i:
now under the care of DR.. Blaine, o.

f success, and that ip short time the
? little girl will be able to plod about
: with as perfect limbs as any one. The
