which is to commence in this place
next Wednesday evening, July 2lst,
promises to be largely attended from
all parts. The number Of tents en-
gagged for this meeting is considerably
larger than last year, and it is thought
many will bring tents Of their own.
The meeting will continue one week,

take place on Saturday morning, July
oath. Rev. Hart, who was here last
year, and was listened to with such
profound interest, will be with the
brethren at this meeting; also, Rev
Roberts, the founder of the Church
and one of the most eminent divines
in the land. Arrangements have been
made with the p. T. ~ b. R'y to sell
reduced rate tickets between Irvinetou
and Oil City, and those wishing tC
attend should enquire for Z. Nj. tickets
to Tionesta. The meeting will be held
on the same ground as last year, which
will be put in first-class condition fol
this occasion, A special force oI
policemen will be engaged to preserve
order during the week. All these ar
rangemeuts will have a tendency tc

indications the meeting will be most
successful one.

The school board had quite an
interesting meeting on Monday eve
ming last, the business before it being
the selection Of teachers for the boro
schools. There were several applicants
for the upper oradvanced department,
for which there ives no little contention.
The names of Messrs. ID. T.. Billig,
j. f. Hillard, N. L. Williams and
Miss j. Il. Copeland were presented.
Other applications were sent in, but
these seemed to be the most formidable
candidates. The balloting began with
Bllig l Hillard 2, Williams 2, Miss
Copeland /, and continued about the
same for thirty-six ballots, when a
break was made and a grand rush TO
the support of Miss Copeland ensued,
electing her on the 37th ballot. This
ballot stood as follows: For Hillard,
Shawkey /; for Williams, Blaine
for Miss Copeland, Brennan, Partridge,
Kelly, and Wolcott 4. The head OF
the ticket being completed the
selection Of persons for the second
aud third places, like the nomination
Of Vice President, was an easy
matter, and Miss Clara Heath wa;
chosen teacher of the intermediate de
partment, and Mrs. L. B. COBB teacher
of the primary department. Thus
ended the work Of one Of the most en-
thusias:ic school meetings ever held il
the borough of Tionesta. Miss Cope
land is fine scholar, and is highl,
recommended as teacher, and Their
is reason to believe she will give gooC
satisfaction. Miss Clara IIeeth ha
had considerable experience in the ar
of teaching, and has always given gooC
satisfaction, and will, undoubtedly, il
this instance. Mrs. Cobb has laugh
the primary school for the past tw'
terms, and has given the very best o
salts action to both parents and pupils
She can undoubtedly hold the position
as long as she wants il, which is tn
best kind Of recommendation. w
hope now that parents will lend ever.

support of the patronD no teacher cal
succeed TO any great extent.

Mr.. w, w Hulings, of Louis

j. D., spent a fow days in town last
week. We were glad TO see him look
ing unusually we'll, and hope he may
live to pay his old friends here many
visits in the future.
Mr.. J. w. Ball, of Brookville, is
now travelling through this section
picking up junk of all kinds, such as
iron, copper, brass, rope, rags, &c, for
which he is paying the highest prices.
Look out for his big red wagon when
he comes around. 2t.
Mr.. G. NJ Kepler was in town on
business few days last week. Mr..
K. informs us that, had it not been for
the serious and protrated illness Of his
wife, he, in company with some parties
from Allegheny City, would lave had
another well started in this county.
The afiliction in MIR. Kepler's family
has interfered very materially with
his business, and it is hoped his wife
may soon regain her wonted health.

which will be interesting 10 Forest
county landowners reports from
the new well near Kinzua village in
dicate that oil in small quantities ha!
been found. The location Of the strike
is between the Bradford district ant
the small pool at Stoneham. 1t is mo-
improbable that pools Of oil, like thost
found at Warren and Stonebam, may
be found like connecting links between
the lower and upper oil fields, even a
the Byron Centre and Bullion fields
on the outskirts Of Clarion and Butle
counties, and the kinzua we'll has I'M
doubtedly struck such a one. 1t j
supposed such pools exist through
Forest county and all about the Brad

ford in tie lower oil districts"

Bro. Carpenter has photographed
much of the scenery around here, and
if he lives will photograph much more,
we prophesy. His pictures are true to
nature. His greatest feat is picture
of the mouth of the Tionesta, showing
Dithridge's old iron clad mill, now
numbered among the things that were
and inscribed only on memories tab
lets and the picture of Bro. Carpenter
which, by the way, is winter scene
and shows an Aurora Borealis in the
Southwest, lending enchantment tc
the view. Thus lie perpetuats history
aids memory, restores camp-meeting
scenes, and works on the Photographic

The Census Of Forest county
shows. up as follows:

When the census was taken in 1870,
Harmony township, in and around
Fagundas and Trunkeyville, contained
large floating population incident to
the oil excitement. This population
has since dwindled away to a mere
handful compared to those days. Our
county is now on solid footing, and we
venture to say that the next census
will show an increase Of so to 100 per
cent
The Fourth or Third, rather
passed of very quietly in this place,
and nothing but the explosion Of a
few fre-crackers, and an occasional
"whoop" from a few individuals
slightly under the influence of" Captain
Tamarack", disturbed the usual still
ness of our town. In the evening a
few fireworks were shot of, and, while
they lasted we're very nice. On Mon
day the Gfth, our shootists indulged in
a glass ball shoot, which was thor
oughly enjoyed by all. Through the
kindness Of Mr.. Joe. Shamburg, of
West Hickory, the boys were provi-
ded with the Doctors revolving trap,
but for which the shoot would not
have come of, as the new double trap,
ordered some time ago, failed to
arrive. The shooting, generally speak
ing, was poor, owing to the lack OF
practice on the part of most of the
shooters. When the new trap arrives
the club will have regular shoots, and
we venture to say, some of the boys
will come out "cat.bird" at the trap

boys were playing about the cal. hole
Of one the salt we'll furnaces. The
boys it seems had gone to one of the
coal banks and procured the powder,
and went to the furnace to divide it,
and in doing so had scattered good
deal Of it about and in front of the
fire. The boys put the powder in
the pockets Of their pants, and think
ing there was no danger, one of them
threw some into the fire. This igni-
ted what was lying on the hearth
and about the boys which set their
clothes on fire, and the powder in
the pockets of young Surgeon in
stantly exploded, also, and set his
undet-garments on fire, and before
the fire could be extinguished was
SO severely burned that he died on
Tuesday, the 9th. 1t is a terrible
stroke on his father and the rest of
the family. The Chapman boy will
