REPUBLICAN, yesterday morning and
had some posters printed announcing
the disposal of his farming implements
and machinery at public sale on next
Wednesday, 2SIh inst. He expects
to start for Washington Territory on
or about April 17th, and as quite
number have sigufied their intention
of joining him, he thinks it would be
a good idea to arrange matters so as
to leave on that date. If enough eau
be gotten together to make car load

For some time past Mr.. Daniel
Andrews of Hickory township, for.
mer Tionesta resident, has been
troubled with sort of tumor on his
left leg below the k0ee, caused by a
gunshot wound received in the war.
At first it was not considered a serious
matter, but it became so bad that DIR.
Siggius removed the tumor in the hope
of curing it. Still Mr.. Andrews got
no relief, and yesterday DR.. Siggins
performed the critical operation Of
amputating the leg above the knee as
the only hope of saving the patients
life. He was assisted By DR.. Webber
of East Hickory, and Mr.. Andrews is
said to have come out of the painful
operation very nicely, and at last ac.
counts was doing we'll. We grieve
with Daniels many friends hereabouts
iu his great misfortune, and hope he
may experience no further trouble.
