William Nugent, an old resident
of jerks township, this county, and
well known to many of our citizens,
died on Thursday last, 19.h inst. He
was nearly GO years of age and lived
a bachelor life, his niece keeping house
for him of late years. To her he will

strnd. He was brother of Thomas
Nugent, who survives him, and is yet
quite active, mentally.
From letter written to jerks
township friend, and which we were
allowed to peruse, we are glad to learn
that our old friend Thomas Porter,
who now resides in Nebraska, is sue.
ceeding admirably in his new home.
TIE climate he says is very salubrious
and we'll adapted to farming. His
corn crop was excellent, and he put up
eighty tons of hay this season; the
potato crop was large one, and al.
though they had had no rain for more
than sixty days the crops were in no
way affected thereby. Mr.. Porter's
many old friends will be pleased to
learn of his success.
The Wilksbarre Union. Leader ex-
posed one of the Leading swindling
lodges played upon the farmers in the
eastern part of the state; Sharp No.
1 goes to farmer and makes him an
offer for his farm at high figure,
which is usually accepted, and $50 or
so deposited to bind the bargain.
Then Mr.. Sharp's friend comes along
aud offers 81 900 or more in advance
of the first price. Then the farmer
goes to No. /, and by paying a good
round sum, say $500, secures a release.
The epterprising fellow that wanted
the land so badly at the highest figure
neglects to come around, and the farm
er is about $3.50 out, which of course,
is divided by the sharps."
An important business change
took place in our town during the past
week: Mr.. Henry Heber, who has for
the past six months been conducting
the hardware store in the Einsteln
BUILDING has disposed of his entire
stock to Mr.. Ed Heibel, who will
hereafter conduct the business at his
stand opposite the Lawrence House.
While we should have been pleased to
have had Mr.. Heber remain with us,
yet the cherry seems to have been too
small for two bites, as it were, hence
this change. Mr.. Heibel will DO well
with his now camplete stock, out of
which he can furnish anything in the
line of hardware at very reasonable
price, and we bespeak for him large
patronage. Mr.. Heber made many
friends during his short stay in Tones.

future undertakings.
And still the mania RACES. Last
Saturday our very efficient and wide
awake County Superintendent, j. E.
Hillard, was taken with the complaint,
and in company with one of Tionesta's
finest young ladies, Miss May Shaw

key, drove to Pleasantvile and engaged
the parson, who ministered to their
wants in elegant style at the residence
of one of Mr.. HIS intimate friends.
The Professors friends in Forest coun.
ty are legion, and all of them will re-
joice to congratulate him upon this
most sensible step, The fact is he
never really does anything but what
there is sense in, yet this seems to us
the most sensible of all. The happy
young brides many friends will also
wish her 10y and contsntment in her
new sphere of life. Here's our right
