being taken at present before Esquire
Brennan, and the case will probably
be brought before the Court next week.
When decided we shall give our read.
ers the result.
Vegetation has made rapid pro.
gress within a few days, and the sur
rounding hills are fast showing their
colors. A good shower of rain is
badly needed just now. 1t would
make such differance in the appear
ance of Mother Earth that the good
old dame would hardly recognize
herself.
-Spearing is all the go now, and
all the available boats, spears, and
fish. jacks are brought into requisition.
Some very nice strings are brought in.
Last Friday night Mr.. Dingman
brought in a pike which weighed 16l
pounds, and measured 81 feet. On
Monday evening Mr.. Geo. Scott killed
another nice one, the dimensions and
weight of which we did not learn.
The time table of the P. T. q B.
r. r., has been slightly changed, the
change taking effect on Monday last.
We have not yet received the new
schedule, and can give only the
time at this station Trains going
north leave at 1856 a. M, 3:04 p. m.
South at 9:56 a. M, local freight ;
2:04 p. M, and 1854 p. m. We will
have a corrected time table next week.
The stave.hauling business seems
to be improving rapidly. A gentle
man informs us that the other day he
counted over thirty teams loaded with
slaves, which would make about six
car loads. This is not only for one
day, but has averaged about the same
for week past. The bridge and rail.
road compgny duly appreciate this
increase in traffic.
Tomorrow morning Mr.. 7. G.
Jackson will assume the management
of part of the Central House, under
Mr.. Leonard Agnew. He wishes to
inform his friends, and the public
generally that the Accommodations will
be 6rst-class in every particular, and
that the table will always contain the
best the market affords. He respect
fully invites a continuance Of the pat
ronage heretofore extended.
In another column will be found
an article suggesting the propriety OF
establishing a MERIDIAN Line on the
public grounds at the court house,
whereby surveyors may regulate their
compasses. We think the ide& a good
one, and would ask the proper Off
cials to give the matter little atten-
ton. We believe it has been talked
of heretofore, but why it was not es
tablished we are unable to state.
Court convenes next Monday, but
the prospects are not very fattering
for large crowd. The Jurors have
been notified not to put in an appear
ance, as their services will not be
needed. The trial list is short, and
there will probably not be more than
two days of court. There is probably
not another county in the State that
can present such peaceable aspect in
law matters.
Attention is directed to the card
of Mr.. j. M. Beverly, Blacksmith, ir
to days issue. Mr.. B. has recently
fitted up shop at the lower end O.

at the mouth of Tionesta creek, and i;

Last Friday team belonging tc
Mr.. Allio, while passing the mill a
the lower end of the town, took frigh
and started to run. After proceeding
a few rods it ran into another team
