Prof Peck will in few days or
ganize a singing class at Tidioute,
having secured nearly enough scholars
to warrant him in going ahead. At
Econemite. opposite Tidionte, he will
begin with large class tomorrow
evening. His second term in this
place is progressing nicely. These
three appointments will occupy about
all his time. He expects to hold a
fnur-day's musical convention in this
place at the end OF the present term.
Sucker fishing is now in order,
and any warm, sunny day score of
patient anglers may be seen along the
banks of the river bobbing for the
docile "rsd-fu TO-" At this senson of
the year the sucker is the most delic-
ious fish that swims the Allegheney,
!. e., when properly Scored and fried.
The trouting season will soon be here,
if not already with some, as the pleas
ant weather Of the past week or two
must have been too tempting for some
of our ardent fishermen 70 Withstand.
Several board and some timber
rafts-fve or six "Alleghenies" in all
pulled Out Of the mouth ofthe cresk'
bound for the lower markets, on SUN
day last. A great many creek pieces
were stuck between here and Coon
creek, but, with one or two exceptions,
ali will come out when the water raises.
About eleven hundred logs belonging
to Messrs. May & Kelly we're started,
but stopped below LacytOwn pond on
account of low water. This. stock
will be sawed on the mill across the
creek, which will start up as soon as
the logs are Doomed"
The Millerstown Co. we'll on the
Hill Farm is down between 700 and
800 feet, with good showing for third
sand. Mr.. G. M. Kepler, this Super
intendent informs us that as soon as
this well is flushed he will commence
operations back on the hill farther, 10
tbs vicinity of G. f. Crops farm,
near Tubbs Run. Quite number Of
heavy capitalists of Pittsburgh and
other places are anxiously inquiring
for leases in this section, from which
it is reasonable to infer that brisk op.
erations may be expected during the
coming season. Mr.. K. is of opinion
that before another year Forest county
will bs more thoroughly tested than
ever before.
-Messrs. Pollen Bros, who have
been engaged during the past four
months, manufacturing the timber on
the Wilkinson Tract, on Salmon creek,
owned by Mr.. John Shoup, into
boards, ETC., have flushed their job
and are about pulling up stakes. These
gentlemen, during their short stay
here, have cut nearly l, 100000 feet of
lumber, with their "coffee mill" as
some are pleased to call it. They have
several offers from other parties TO
plant their little mill on odd tracts Of
timbered lands and manufacture the
same into lumber, and it may just be
possible they will conclude to stay.
Whatever they dO-go or stsy-we
wish them success, as they have proven
themselves pleasant and reliable gen.
tlemen to deal with.
In urging the capitalists to start
new and various manufactures in Oil
City, in order to build up aud solidify
the place, the Derrick mentions among
other enterprises which would pay,
that of = taunery, stating that bark
could be shipped from Forest county
by water. The suggestion is a good
; one but good for Oil City, why not
much better for TiOnesta, where less
expense would be entailed in hauling
bark, and whore the natural advaN-
tages, such as water, &C., are la supe'
,rior to any other place along the river
