thpse who expect tc

agement by the teachers and citizens
The Institute will be success.
We understand that Mr.. Law
renee has about consummated the sale
Of his hotel property in this place to
a Bradford gentleman. Possession
will not be taken right away, but ar.
rangements for the transfer are now
pending. We also learn that the pur-
chaser is an old and first class hotel
man.
Forest Lodge, A. o. U. W., will |
be ready soon to announce its second !
al nual ball, which will take place
some time during the holidays. The
pronounced success of their last years
effort is a sufficient guarantee that
this one will be the ball of the season.
The music will be the best the coun-
try affords.
The County Commissioners have
put in their office within the past week
a large and excellent safe; one that
will accommodate the records of that
Office for the next twenty FIVE years.
This is something that was badly need
ed, as the ecords of county cannot
be replaced when once fire gets good
hold of them.
We are informed that, owing 10
the great depression in the trade, Hor-
ton, Crary & Co., have shut down
operations at their tanneries both in
this and Warren county, thus throw
ing out of employment large num-
Der Of workmen. The capacity of
all their tauneries is upwards cf 1000
sides of sole leather day.
Mr. and Mrs. j. L. Craig wish
publicly to acknowledge many thanks
to all those who SO generously lent
their assistance in rescuing their
household goods from the recent fire.
But for the prompt and vigorous ef-
forts on the part of our citizens most
of their goods mYst have burned, and
they therefore feel duly grateful to all.
"A special from Oiean says: Abra.
ham James, spiritual medium
through whose instrumentalitv the
once celebrated oil district at Pleas
antville was discovered, has died in
Oregon. James claimed the spirits
had shown him great oil lake al
Pleasantville. He made fortune o.
half a million in oil which he lost or
the Pacific coast
Writing of the chestnut output in
that vicinity, the Cochranton Time
says: "The returns are all iD,. anC
from the official count we learn tina
2,O35 bushels of chestnuts wer'
shipped from Cochranton station thi
fall. Dunbar & McGrath shipped
1,235 bushels, Coley Bros, 700, ant
Others 100." The average price paiC
was $3.50, showing that $4,000 wa
left in that vicinity from the sale o
the chestnut crop.
The two young highwaymen, Pa
lon and ellison, who so brutally bea
and robbed the young Jewish peddler
Talamo, near Pleasantville in Septem
ber last, mention of which we mad
; at the time, received their sentence a
the late term Of court at Franklin
They each got four years and si
mouths in the Peniteutiary, which
considering the fact that they all bu
killed the peddler-in fact left hil
for dead lis thought to be mercifu
sentence.
" The "openipg" of the skating rim
1 last Wednesday evening was a succe'
1 all round. Pleasantville's cornet ban
! furnished excellent skating music
while the boys off the Hill, assisted b
q part of the Pleasantville band, mad
$ splendid music for the dance. Supp'
I was served by Mr.. Brownell of Il
: Central House, and was pronounced
D superior article by all who partook
: it. Joe. Landers, proprietor, may we
!. feel proud of his rink, as no town Il
l. size of this can boast of nicer one.
