Leaving that place he removed to
Crow Hill, and there cleared another

1t may be of interest to our Tea-
ders to learn that the proposed law to
increase the bounty on game destroy
ing animals and birds Of prey, was
received by Mr.. Wheeler, our mem
Der of the Legislature a long time ago.
And Notwithstanding the petitions
were sigued by large share Of the
tax payers Of the county, thus showing
the actual desire Of the people for the
passage of the act, the bill, as far as
we can learn, is still in Mr.. Wheelcr's
coat-tail pocket, and the probability
is that it will remain there or go into
the waste basket, Mr.. WHEELER could
have presented the bill several weeks
ago, had he so desired. Evidently he
does not want the bill to pass. Mr..
Wheeler has the reputation Of being
close around the pocket, when the tax
collector comes around; and it is
barely possible, that if this bill should
become law our Honorable represen-
tative might have to pay dollar or
two of extra taxes. Does this account

that man Coburn will go to get an

laying himself liable to the law, might
be overlooked, because he didn't know
any better; but when he comes right
out in a square.toed, barefaced false
hood, for no other purpose, that we
car conceive Of, but to have something
to put in his paper, we think it mex
cusable. He knows very well that
Mr.. Wheeler had the bill presented to
the committee as soon as he received
the petitions, and it was reported
favorably from that committee on the
7th inst, which fact was published in
our paper two weeks ago. The pack.
age containing the petitions was held
at the Harrisburg Post-office couple
of days for insufficient postage, and
this is all the delay the bill has
suffered since it left this place. We

The Derrick in an article on the
proposed extension to Bradford of the
St. Petersburg road, has this to say of
the prospects for Forest county becom-
ing the next oil field. The Derrick is
the authority on matters relating to
oil developments:
"There is one question ofimportance
which should be takenFinto considera-
ton in urging the building Of a road.
We may confidently rely on the mass
of oil business remaining to the north
of US for many years. The northern
limit of the Bradford field has been
reached, and the developments have
sot southwark. 1t is generally ex-
pected by all operators that the belt
Of oil will carry the operations south
ward through Forest county, and this
expectation in the face of the present
outlooks seems probable Of becoming
a reality. In such case the proposed
railroad would place Oil City in close
connection with ali such developments
for many years to come, and give it
the great business advantages to be
derived from such location. If our
citizens have any regard for the future
of this city, let them at once push
through this connection, either by
themselves, or by inducing the pro-
iectors of the Bradford extension to
aid them"
With this issue, the FOREST RE
PUBLICAN enters upon its twelfth year.
We don't propose to make any prom
ises for the future, but will, by close
application and hard work, endeavor
to give our subscribers n readable
paper, and We have no doubt our
efforts will be appreciated. We have
already gained quite number of new
subscribers, and are steadily increas-
ing our list, and we think before the
present volume is ended we shall have
nearly if not quite doubled it. We
hope our friends, and especially the
Republicans Of this county, will take
hold and aid us in our endeavors as
much as possible, and we shall try and
give them a paper of which we trust
they will have no cause to feel
ashamed.

THE CROPS.

SUMMARY OF RETURNS TO THE DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE.
WARRINGTON. d. c.. July Is. 1879.
The returns to the Department of Agriculture on
July show a continued depression in the prospects
Of the oat crop. While the acreage in June shows
decrease of four per cent the condition Of the crop
is still LIVER. The New England States have fair
prospects. but the drought has been very detri-
mental in all the Middle and Southern States. In
the West. only the most northern States. Minnesota
and Wisconsin. report favorably.
POTATOES
The acreage in potatoes is per cent more than
in 1873 for the whole country. New York and Penn
sylvana the Atlantic border show large
the latter State as much as per cent All report
decrease in the planted. In the West. Michigan
reports an increase of per cent; Illinois. A. Iowa.
g. and Missouri 8. The condition of the crop was
more favorable than ut the same time in 1878.
FRUITS.
The condition of the fruit crop for the whole
country Is bad. In the East and North Atlantic
States the crop. both for apples and peaches, is
good; but from North Carolina to Texas the peach
crop almost total failure aud the apple crop very
short. caused by frost in April In the large fruit
regions bordering on the Ohio River the failure Of
peaches is quite universal but the apple crop will
be almost half crop. IN Michigan both peaches
aud apples reported good. and in Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Iowa the apple crop Is at average.
California has fun crop OF peaches.
