can be seen at Biehls hardware store. 1t was
/ invented and manufactured by Mr.. Al. Wilson,
of this place. and is said to be the best washer in
| existence. AL. has used one himself for months
and says he can wash large lot of clothes with
! it and wash them clean in a few minutes. The
| plan of it is entirely different from any other
washer we have ever seen and people needing
| a washer will do well to examine this one be-
fore buying.
Says the Kittanning Times, "a man drop
ped into Kittanning one day this week, and
worked the three cent racket. He claimed he
had come from Millerstown, was dead broke,
his sister was dead, and wanted to write let
ter, but had no three cents to pay postage.
Every person he met contributed three cents,
and his income was large. On his proceeds
he got drunk, and on Wednesday evening
Burgess Mutton consigned him to the lookup.
He was kept in there for six hours, and then
told to leave the town or go to the work
house. He left"
We are informed that there were no pistols
displayed at the fracas in the Graham school
house. in Connoquenessing township, few
evenings since, though certain parties went
there with pistols and handy-bllies in their
pockets, and with the intention of raising a
disturbance and interfering with the exhibition.
The feud between the two settlements in that
township is said to have existed for years. 1t
shows itself whenever occasion presents, and
the sooner it is done away with the better. As
it stands now its getting into court is q mere
matter of time. The school directors of the
township have duty to perform in the prem
ises.

Campbell, all citizens of Fairview township

II. Graham, appealed to Court regarding the
valuation placed upon their property by the as
sessofs end sustained by the County Commits
soners. The properties of all these persons
have oil rigs upon them belonging to the
lessees, but which have been assessed with the
property to the owners and of this they CON-

We neglected last week to make a note of
the ney enterprise in Prospect-:he Prospect
sion of which will open next Monday, the
9th inst aal continue for eleven weeks. The
aim of the school, as stated in their card in
another place, is, "To prepare young men and |
gomen for college; to fit teachers TO do the best
work in the school ro9na, and to give those |
who do not intend to pursue course in college |
an opportunity of getting an education suitable
for all practice purposes in life" The trustees
are reliable, enterpriSing m2n. They haye |
secured a commodious building, made arrange
ments for boarding the Students and it is their
to make the Prospect Academy one of
the permanent institutions of the county. We
wish them success. Prospect is delightfully."- |
situated town. her citizens are generous, intelli:
gent, good-hearted people and there is no
healthier location in the State
H. Fl. Goucher, Esq, one of the best
lawyers of our town, has removed to Warren,
this State, where he intends opening an office
and continuing the practice of his profession.
Mr.. Goucher is native of Venango county and
read law at Franklin. He came to this county
some ten years ago and soon acquired good
practice in the Common Pleas Courts of the
county, and for several years previous to the
repeal of the Bankrupt law, was the Register
in Bankruptcy for this caHnty. For some years,
however. his health has been impaired and
thinking that change of location would bene-
fit him, he finally concluded to remove to War
rem county, on account of its clear streams and
pine forests, where, in his leisure time, he
could enjoy mis- fayOriie and nealtl producing
of hunting and fishing. In his
removal this community losses q good citizen
and, personally speaking, we lose good friend
and neighbor. He is man of marked ability
in his profession and is also a man of strict
honor and integrity, and his sHopesa is assured
wherever he may go.
