for next Monday night, as will be seen
by notice elsewhere, which meeting we
hope will be we'll attended, as matters
of importance will come before it.
Mr.. Vim. Anthony, of Nebraska,
this county, who has suffered from
granulated eye-lids Tor the past year,
and had become nearly blind, is now
under the treatment of DIR. Sadler, the
Oculist, of Pittsburgh, and is gaining
rapidly.
Curt Shawkey has been more lib
eral than usual about setting up the
cigars for day or two past. The ar.
rival Of that boy at his house last
Sunday has made him supremely hap
py. Success to the boy, and may he
grow up to be as good man as his
daddy.
AT Braceville, this county, on
Friday last Mr. George Smith received
a very bad fracture Of one Of his legs.
We also learn that Henry Smith of
East Hickory, had one of his legs brok-
en- while rafting lumber at the mouth
of Hickory creek. We are without
full particulars.
The Ridgeway & Oil City Rail-
road Company was chartered at the
State Department, Harrisburg, last
Friday. The road runs from Ridge
way, Elk county, to Oil City, Venango
county, distance of about sixty miles
through Elk, Forest, Venango, CIar-
ion ard Jefferson counties. The capi-
tai is $1SO,0O0.
-"Golden Days" for May has ar
rived, and lovely number it is. No
publication is so popular, and deserv-
edly SO, with the young folks as this
most excellent of all magazines
Every number is replete with the most
charming literature, and it is always
prOfusely illustrated. James Elvsr-
son, Publisher, Philadelphia, Pa.
The Warren Sunday Mirror says :
"Seven hundred and fifty thousand
barrels of oil lost by fire makes no diff
erencs in the market; but a ten bar
rel we'll in Forest county tears the lin.
ing oat of the speculator's pocket book
to put up margin" A "tsn-barrel
well' is of so little consequence in
Forest couHty that no mention is made
Of them.
"A. Biguon has recently arrived
in Tionests for the purpose of making
old silk hats, soft felt and stiff crow
hats, equal to new. He will alse max,
specially of repairing and cleaning
clothes, kid gloves, &c. Can bc
found for the present at VIM Kill
mer's shoe shop. Give him a call
He guarantees satisfaction. it
st. Commissioner Dunkls has had
force of men at work during the pas
week putting q stone culvert across
the small stream that drains Sickles
swamp and empties into ths back
channel near where the stavs mil
formerly stood. AS far as VIC are able
to judge it is q good job, and vii
obviate the necessity of building = new
bridge there every few years.
Next week is court week ia thi
place, and as there has been no regu
lar term since December, twill doubt
less occupy the greater portion of th
week. We are sorry to learn tha
Judge Brown has been quite seriousl,
i'll for week or two, and although
improving at last accounts, will hard
| ly be able to attend next week, il
which case some neigboring Judge vii
hold court for him.
In all directions where one please
to look now s-davs new lumber may
be seen piled and scattered along tn,
street where never before foot of i
was seen before. This would indicate
that business is Co commence pretty sool
, in the sidewalk line in fact it has be
gun already, and there will dOubtles
be more walk laid this season than a
any one time since the first was pu

mended for the promptness with whlc
