strong, to FIJI the vacancy caused by
the death of Judge Boggs. The APP
poi ihtment is said to give general sat
isfaction.
lone day last week Henry Grubbs,
who runs the engine at Knox's mill,
was caught by a belt and thrown
against the hy-wheel, which in turn
threw him back against some timbers,
jamming several of his ribs severely.
In consequence he was obliged to clay
off, for time.
-Spearing has already begun,
sev@al parties being out on last Sat
urday night. One party, we under
stand got some very nice fish, several
weighing over four pounds each. Had
they extinguished their torch and
fished by the light of the moon better
success might have attended their
efforts.
An exchange says: can act to
encourage the planting of trees along
the roadside has passed the House of
Representatives finally. 1t allows an
abatement of 81 in tho road tax ofany
farmer or other persons, under the pro-
vision of the act, for every four trees
planted along the road side at such
distances as the law prescrbes."
The cemetery at the upper end of
town, with the exception of a few
graves, is in very good condition. If
these were put in order it would make
vast improvement, and "the city of
the dead" would present such an ap-
pearance as would be credit to the
town. Let interested parties attend
to this matter at once.
MIR. Bovard has recently brought
on large and we'll selected lot, of
fishing tackle of all kinds, such as
hooks of all sizes with smells, hair and
silk line, trout baskets, etc, which be
is selling very reasonable. If you
want good outfit go to George and
let him fix you out. He has the goods.
to do it with, and will do it cheap.
During last winter Capt. Clark
took out quite lot of logs on Hunter
run and hauled them to Knox's mill,
where they are now being sawed into
lumber, which we notice the Captain
stacking on the common below the
Presbyterian Church. What he
intends building we have not learned,
but presume he thinks it will never
come amiss.
-Selden Whitman informs us that
the parties who had been drilling for
oil on his place, and who have been
having some litigation of late, have
buried the hatchet, and resumed work.
They have cleaned out The we'll, and
are drilling. 1t is down something
over 600 feet now. The fact will
receive due notice if they strike
anything.
The large tannery at Glade
Run, above Warren was recently de.
stroyed by fire. The loss is estimated
from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t was the
refuse from this tannery which made
the water in the river SO dark during
the summer, and destroyed the fishing,
consequently the fishermen of this Sec
ton don't lament much over its de-
mise.

ion county, is missing. On the ninth
of April he started down the Clarion

him since he left, and it is supposed
that he has met his death by drown.
ing. Hs was a man about 43 years Of
age, and leaves a wife and four child

Andrews of this county.
