MIR. H. M. Thompson Gully"
for short-had the misfortune to lose
the end Of his right thumb on Satur-
day last. He was engaged in loading
lumber at Jameson q Copeland's
mill on Tubbs Run, when large stick
dropped on the aforementioned thumb
pinching it off just back of the nail.
1t was a painful thumb.p, but Gully
will recover.
Mr.. Peter Berry is getting ma
terials on the ground and will at once
commence a well at Balltown near his
No. 1, out of which oil has been run
ming ever since it was finished. There
is oil at Balltown, and don't forget it,,
else why would Mr.. Berry put down
this last we'll so close to the other.
There will be boom in that section
at no distant day.
-MT. VI. Ittel, who has been en-.
gagel near Bradford tor some months
will move his family to that place
this week, leaving on Friday. We
are sorry to loose so worthy a family
from among US, but if go they must,
we wish them all happiness and pros
perity. When tired of that section
we hope they will return to Tionesta.
They will be located near Rev City.
Sergeant John Jameson attended
the dedication Of the Titusville Armo-
ry, with the Bradford City Guards on
Thursday last, and stopped here few
days on his way back. This company
took the broom for good looks and
gentlemanly department at the dedi-
cation, and Capt. j. G. Fox, who is
very popular with the boys Of his
company, was the recipient of many
handsome compliments.
The Democrat, in trying to belittls
and ridicule tho grand Republican
demonstration at Cooksburg, and
casting slurs upon the highly respect
able gentlemen and citizens of Barnett
township, has made step which will
cost its Iarty score of votes in that
section. Honest men of all parties
are ready to give credit where it is
due, und will frownS down all such
falsehoods and misrepresentation,
especially when coming from so dis
reputable source.
We came near losing our csndi,
date for County Surveyor, F. F.
Whittekin, the other day. He was
rummaging over some Of his traps, and
ran across an old revolver. Proceed
ing to investigate it, not knowing il
was loaded, as usual, the blamed thing
"went off," the ball entered the palm
of his hand, passing upward and
lodging somewhere between the wrist
and elbow. DR.. Blaine probed the
wound, passing his probe several
inches up the arm, but was unable to
detect the ball. The pistol was one oi
the smallest calibre, and as no bones
were broken the injury will probably
give Mr. w. no serious trouble.
Some time ago We published Gen
Whites challenge to James Mosgrove
and to-day, we reproduce it. The
challenge is fair one and has re-
mained open several weeks, yet Mr.
Mosgrove has not had the courage tC
accept. Is it because he has not tho
ability to cope with Gen. White il
debate, or is it because he is afraid t.
tell where he stands If the former il
his reason for refusing, then he virtu
ally acknowledges his inability to rep
resent the people and take care of thei
interest properly, and should not ash
to be sent to Congress. If it is tn,
latter, where do his supporters expec
to find him after he has been elected
