--Hark Wentworth reports the fol-
lowing singular case: He had set a
trap for foxes and on Wednesday
night last some kind Of animal carried
the FIRST trap away leaving nothing but
part Of the chain. Hark Immediate
ly planted another trap on the same
bed, and on Monday morning last
went out to take look at the situa.
tion, and there found Rsynard, who
had evidently caught his foot in the
first trap, carried it around for nearly
week aRd then came back and
caught himself 10 the second trap, the
jaws of which had caught in the spring
of the first trap, and Mr.. Fox Was
held secure.
In little over two weeks the
trouting season will commence, and as
usual grand rush will be made on
the Reighboring streams for the little
beauties. In this connection it might
be we'll to state that the place to get
your outfit for fishing is at Papa Bald.
wins, Tidioute, who always keeps the
best and most approved material in
this line and sells it at a very small
margin. IF you cannot spare the time
to go up, an order by mail will answer,
as he understands what kind Of
tackle is best adapted for this section
and will deal squarely with you. Give
him trial.
The survey of the Salamanca &
Irvineton Railroad has been compile
ted as far as the State line, and the
engineers have been engaged in the
past week in making up near Approxi-
mate estimate of the entire cost of
building the same. We understand
that the cost will be somewhere in the
neighbsrhood of $4,000 per mile.
About twenty-five mon are now at
work near Kinzua on the above road.
1t will be pushed along as rapidly as
possible, and it is confidently hoped
that the road will be completed and
trains running from Oil City to Sala-
manca by the first of September. This
will shorten the distance from this
place to Bradford about 1S miles, and
owing to the low grade, not, we be-
lieve, to exceed Is feet per mile, one
engine can haul 30 to 35 cars from
Oil City to Salamanca, while at the
presept time the N. Y. P. & o. Rail-
road can move but 15 to IS cars. This
will give this division big "send off,
in the freight business, and be remu-
nsrative to the enterprising B. P. &
w. r. r. Co, which is just now on the
"push."

Blue Jay No. 2.

Late news from the Blue Jay dis.
trict, on Tionesta creek, are to the
effect that the second well just compile
ted, would be good for a hundred
barrel gusher. Of course this report
is exaggerated, at least we think so, but
that good well haSbeen struck there is
no doubt. and it is probable that
it may go fifty or sixty barrels when
properly torpedoed and tubed, which
is pretty good for a starter. The sand
is said to be first-class.
This well is situated about one mile
from the first one, on a direct line
north, in the direction ofShefield, and
is owned by Shultz & Co., of Warren.
Should it pan out anything like as big
as it is reported the reputation of that
territory is made, and soon or late
that section will witness active and
lively operations.

Michigan Letter.

Ed. REPUBLICAN -
Dear Sir Having been
the happy recipient Of your paper for
a few weeks, have renewed my ac-
quuintance with some OF my Tionesta
friends. Since learning Of the sad
accident that befell Mr.. Arner at Fork
Run, l have been anxious to hear Of
his welfare. He has my sincere SYM
pathv in his severe affliction and ny
earnest wish for his speedy recovery.
think of him as lad as he was, when
last / saw him at home with his sisters.
l fin6 my memory at fault while try
ing to place the members of Mr.. Ar
ner's family, although have spent
some happy hours with them. The
girls will recolect the tunes we sang
together in those days. / don't sing
now. Mr.. Lewis Arner and l tried to
make our fortunes in the oil business
on the Blood farm l did not hope
Lewis did better.
Your last paper brought sad news
to me in the death of A. w. Heath.
| can hardly realize that the child that
Mrs. Heath used to bring in her arms
to the old school house above Newtown,
where we used to worship, had become
man, and has been taken away 80
suddenly. Having passed through
similar affiiction, l can sympathize
with the mother in her severe trial,
and while she has the sympathy of the
community, she will need the support
which Jesus alone can give in this
her great sorrow.
In looking over the past few years,
how forcibly the fact is impressed upon
us that we are passing away, and that
here we have no continuing home. Our
friends are passing over one by one,
and soon it will be said of us, "they
are gone" 1t is pleasure to think of
the home over there where the inhab-
itants are never sick, and where death
will never invade the family circle.
Hoping to meet my Tionesta friends
in that house made without hands, 1
remain, Yours truly. -

The Literary Revolution Change
of Base.

This very remarkable enterprise con-
tinues to make such progress as to
astonish its friends and astound its
enemies Its greatly increasing pro-
portions have compelled the removal
of its headquarters from the Tribune
Building to the very large and beau
tiful building, No. 764 Broadway,
which is in the very midst Of the
shook district" of New York City, and
therefore, of the publishing enterprise
of the nation. This building, though
six stories in height % feet front and
100 feet deep, is sufficient only for the
offices and retail store of the Company.
The manufacturing is carried on in
several large buildings located in other
parts of the city, though it is contem-
plated concentrating them soon in one
immense factory to be erected.
The list OF recent and early forth
coming publications are extremely in
terssting to all who enjoy what is
choicest in literature. The Library
Magazine is unique in both form and
character and altogether delightful in
the richness of its contents. OF the
books announced, Green's larger
History of the English People," re.
duced from SO to 81 ; Carlyle's "His-
tory of the French Revolution" re.
duced to 40 cents Carlyle's Heroes
and Hero Worship" 20 cents, and the
Revised New Testament" which is
promised to be manufactured with
rapidity heretofore unheard Of will
attract special attention. 1t is worth
while for every one who has not al.
ready seen 1t. to send and get the il
lustrated pamphlet, "BooS Making,
and Type Setting by Steam" which
will be sent free upon application.

What do you mean by being rich
both ways?p
"Why, father, che has nice clothes,
and her parents have plenty OF
money, and live in large. house; so
she's rich one way. And the girls at
school all love her, for she is always
so gentle and kind SO she is rich in
another way"
Her father smiled, and so did / :;

l have among my dear young
friends some who are poor, that is,
If their wealth were counted III
money others who are comfortably
well Off, as we say, having q good
supply OF the necessary things ofthis
life; and others who are rich, -
whose fathers own costly houses,
who can ride in a carriage when they
will, and whose clothes are very fine.
And, since l overheard Katie's talk
about Carrie Morton, l have thought
it would be well TO remind all these
dear children, that although none IF
them may be "rich both ways" ex-
cept those who have great deal of
money, yet they ali may be rich in
one way. Can you tell me how?
Did you ever hear OF any one be-
ing rich in faith, hope and love :?
Carrie Morton was rich i'll kind
words aud acts, else her little TREND
would not have spoken Of her as she
did; and hope she was ALSO rich in
that love of Jesus which makes the
poor child richer than q king, il
crown and Kingdoms are his all.
Would yon not rather be rich in
the love OF those who know you, and
most of all, in the love OF God, than
rich in money, but poor in all the
rest? Dear children, il God has
given you home where your every
wish is gratifed, remember that at
last you must give an account to
him for such home; and ask him
TO make you rich both ways,-rich in
the love of Jesus and i'll the hope OF
heaven. But. if you are not rich in
clothes and money, remember that u
meek and quiet spirit, and loving,
trusting heart, are ornaments more
precious than diamonds aud pearls :;
