--Tionesta young men are making
an effort to organize a brass band.
Their efforts have thus far been quite
successful, and the young ladies of
the place propose to help them out
with strawberry and ice cream ben.
eft on the Fourth.
There will be grand platform
dance at Tylersburg on the Fourth of
July. A large platform has been
erected, with matched floor, in one
of the pleassntest groves imaginable,
and splendid music has been engaged
for the occasion. Those who attend
may expect a happy time, Geo.
Smith, formerly of this place, is one
of the managers.
The Clarion Democrat has the
following item regarding some fast
work that was done on the mill of
which VIM. Reck is the efficient fore
man: cat Rulofson's mill at the
mouth of Mill.creek, they began last
Monday morning and cut, RATED, and
run three RATS of 10000 feet each, by
Wednesday evening, when the RATS
were tied up at the mouth of the Clar.
ion. The half of the last raft was in
the pond yet Wednesday morning,
but went through the mill and to the
mouth the same day."
The premium list of the sixth
annual fair Of the Venango County
Agricultural Society, at Franklin, has
reached US. The fair will be held
Sept. 10, 16 and II, and there are
over $4,000 in premiums offered.
This society don't do things by halves,
and its fairs are becoming more at
tractive each year. The ouly fault we
can find with the managers is that
they go outside of the county to get
their printing done and then expect
the home papers to "boom" the fair
and bring in the crowd.
Hon. Martin Williams, Of Clar.
ion county, exhibited last week fire
extinguisher known as the Champion.
which works on nearly the same prin.
ciple of the Babcock machine. On
Wednesday evening a bonfire of dry
goods boxes was built on the Ford lot
which he easily extinguished with the
small six.gallon apparatus. The fire
was re'kindled and thoroughly satur-
ated with kerosene, and when under
full headway he turned the, nozzle of
the 80 gallon machine on the fame
and had it thoroughly extinguished in
less than three minutes. The expert.
ment was a success and showed off the
extinguisher TO good advantage. As
our town has no means whatever of
fighting fire, wouldn't it seem like
simple act of good jugdment on the
part of the property owners of the
place to make some provision in that
The case of Rev. j. M. Dewoody,

counsel for the defense, made a few
remarks, specifying a number of i'm.
portant points wherein the proceed

Presiding Elder Bray took the matter
D ut of the hands of the Quarterly
Conference of this place, and ordered
! change of venue to The Tionesta

'utiOn, assented 20 the change of venue.
