Germs us.
Court convenes next Monday and
promises to last full week. A number
of important criminal cases are on the
docket tor trial which will doubtless take
up the greater portion of the time, while
the civil list embraces some cases which
will be stubHornly contested If they come
to trial,
Many friends throughout this section
will be pleased to learn that John r.
Steele had practically a walkaway for the
office of treasurer of Venango county at
the recent election. Mr.. Steele is a vet
eran of the civil war as well as in the
ranks of the grand old Republican party,
and deserves the nearly two thousand
majority which the people rolled up for
the genial John.
Peter Karns, who is death on Wild
cats, has concluded to give the bear a
trial, and accordingly packed his camp
equpage, guns, dogs. ETC., and left for the
he,dwaters of Queen creek, IN Hickory
township, Monday morning. Pete ex-
poets to return with enough bear skins
10 supply the market with robes for the
next winter or two, and If his success as
a wildcatter is any criterion we guess
he'll make his word good all right.
Our congratulations to Bro. W. o.
Su;tI, of a.. p,,uxv Snirit who ran lika
wildfire in his district for Congress at the
recent election. His majority will be
something bordering on the phenominal,
and may reach 5000 when it's all counted
up. But he's used to big majorities and
it won't pun him up any, so that all his
newspaper friends may feel at liberty to
send in their cards when in Washington
during the Congressional session. We're
thinking seriously of going down and
spending the winter at Bro. Smiths
boarding house just to keep him company.
Clark d. Eckles, Of the Cambridge
Springs News, who was elected to the
Legislature, says: "Our readers can
readily understand that we are very
much pleased over the result of the elec-
tion in Crawford county last Tuesday
and if we smile rather broadly at inter-
walls we trust we will be kindly over
looked. We have had our share Of grief
in the past, and thus no doubt are better
able TO enjoy our share OF this glorious
Republican prosperity. And it's great
medicine! There are 1000 people in
Crawford county who are entitled to re-
ceiye end we hope will accept herewith
our thanks for their assistance in COM
pounding the prescription"
C. w. Sawyer was the Congressional
return judge for this county, meeting the
others of tine district at Warren yesterday,
where the vote on Congress was compu-
ted. Sheriff Jameson acted in similar
capacity on tho Senatorial returning
board, meeting the members from the
other counties at Ridgway. Sawyers
duty was by far the most arduous, be
having to wrestle with majorities for Mr..
Sibley running up into the five thousand
figures, while the Sheriff had merely to
help look after one-sided affair in the
nature ofa few hundred votes for Mr..
Hall, who was unopposed by any Repub-
lican in the district, and having only the
Prohibition vote to contend with, which
is usually nominal affair in a strong
Democratic district like the S5th.
