Bile From KepIeF.

The editor of the Democrat once
more takes occasion to vent his spleen
and personal hatred, through the col
umns of his paper, against one of the
most peacable and universally re.
spected citizens of our borough, in last
weeks issue we have reference to his
unwarranted attack upon Esquire
Brennan. The owner of that paper
has long held bitter personal grudge
against Mr.. Brennan, and after weeks
and months of diligent search has
found what he considers a pretsxt for
opening up his slander- batteries upon
him. He has found that in his offic ial
capacity as Justice Of the Peace he has
charged the lawful fee of 10 cents for
writing and making out probate for
fox scalp. He states that it is the
custom all over the county, where a
man brings in two or more scalps to
probate them in lot. This is de-
liberate falsehood deliberate because
the editor knew and saw differently
when he was hunting up evidence
against Esq. Brennan. 1t is almost
the universal custom to make them
out separately, which the law gives a
Justice the right to do. The very
blanks used for the purpose show that
it is the intention of the law to allow
Justices the fee upon each one, as but
one scalp can be described on each blank
To show that it is the custom to make
seperate probates we have been shown
four by Esq. Allison, Of Hickory, to
one man on the same day and date
for fox scalps three by Associate
Judge Kerr, of Barnett, to one aan
on the same date; two by JAS. A.
Scott Esq, Of jerks, same man, same
date, &c. five by Sheriff Randell
formerly Justice in the borough, same
date, &C., and six by d. S. Knox Esq
to one man on same date. There are
many other like instances we might
mention but these are sufficient to
prove that the editor lied about the
matter and knew that he was lying
when he made The assertion. Does

Although the attendance has not been
what it should have been, yet the Ice,
interested pupils have done nobly.
Our school houses, as you all know,
are not very grand or imposing siruct~
ures, yet they are not SO secluded or
uniuviting but that the patrons and
directors might find them occasionally,
and thereby relieve the monotony Of
the pupils and teacher, if they did not
enhance materially the interests Of the
school. Every little helps"

Mr.. Peter Berry called upon MS
Monday. He ia busiIy pushing oper-
ations at Balltown, and expects soon
to have the new we'll at that place
under way. The deep snow yet lying
in the woods is and has been great
drawback to them, but it cannot last
a great while longer. Mr. Berry in.
forms us that Maj. Goodman has fitted
up the boarding house at Balltown in
good shape and is prepared now to
furnish accommodations to all who
happen that way. A good bed, meal
of victuals, cigars and tobacco may be
had at any time. There will doubtless
be considerable travel in that direction
this summer, and those who stop with
the hospitable Major can depend on
being well taken care Of
Rafting during the past week has
been unusually active. There has not
been a day since Tuesday last but that
more or less lumber has been run out
OF the creek, and many were obliged
to start their RATS to market before
they were entirely ready in order to
make room at the "mouth" for "coup.
ling up" The lumber is by no means
all out yet, and Judging from the out
look of the weather at this writing the
water will remain in good rafting stage
for several days, allowing all to get
out nicely. Considering the large
amount run out there was very little
lumber wasted or "stove.up." and
lumbermen and jobbers have been
quite fortunate. From the reports
from down the river we judge the
market has no downward tendency
yet, but prices promise to remain firm
and good. It is hoped that such may
be the case and our lumbermen re.
turn with their pockets bulging ouI
with cash.
"A second corps of engineers arri
we'd on Monday evening and com
menced at the mouth of the creek, and
are working their way up the Tionests
Valley. Mr.. Stevenson. of Oil City
is the chief. D. w. Clark, Of this
place, is along with them. The inten
tiou, we believe, is to survey up th'
Valley to meet F. f. Whittekin'
corps, who are making down the creel
with the line. With such active ant
efficient men the line will soon he sur
veyed and the route located for tn
long talked of railroad. This rout
will open up the resources of Fores
county more than anything since il
organization. Different opinions pre-
vail as to the effect on Tionesta itsel
but the people generally Of the count
will be benefited by the road, an
"the greatest good to the greatest nun
Der" is the true motto. The treasure
J of THE Big Wood" will be opene
up and general prosperity will t
the consequence.

BLUE JAY DISTRICT.

BLUE JAY DISTRICT.
Horton g. Kerbeger's No. 2, near
the Blue Jay No. 1, lost the tools in
the hole Friday Mike Keenan,, the
driller, got fishing tools, and in an
hour and dali had the last stem out
upon the ground, and to-day it was
being fixed iu Clark's machine shop at
Clarendon. The we'll was 800 feet
deep when the tools broke.
The Darling well, or Blue Jav No.
2, fell off to two and one-h half inches
for the "a hours ending Sunday morn
ing. This sudden drop was a surprise
to all, until the oil made its appear
ance through the casing outside the
tubing. 1t is supposed the we'll is
choked up with paraffine, and has
bursted the packer. Workmeu started
for the we'll to-day for the purpose of
cleaning it out.
Pratt, Filkins 81 Dimmick will soon
locate well on the Stewart property,
three miles south of Blue Jay.
AS soon as pipe line connections are
made with the Blue Jay district, a
shot will be put in the Darling well,
and her capacity as producer thor
oughly tested. No. l will also be
cleaned out and shot in the upper sand
from which the Darling draws its
crude. No. / has been making an
inch day for nearly two months, be-
sides showing of oil out Of the casing
which the owners think may come
from the second sand.
The pipe to make the line connec
tions with these wells is now on the
ground, and work will be commenced
on it as soon as the snow is out of the
woods.
MARIENVILLE.
DIR. S. S. Towler's we'll, on Salmon

LOO feet with a broken band whee
and dilapidated sand wheel and shut
down for repairs. The we'll has passed
through two sands. The first wal
struck at 400 feet; the second a
400. This we'll is north and west o
four wells drilled by DR.. fowler on Mill
stone run iu the years gone by, and OF
the other side from them Of the divid
ing ridge between the waters Of tn
Clarion and the Tionesta. 1t is nov
