can hardly pick up a paper just now but
whnt has a paragraph stating that Johnoy
Steele is writing an autobiography. Such a
thing would no doubt be interesting, but wo
are authorized to atalo that no such thing
lias been contemplated by "Coal Oil John
ny." That the. work would be in great de
mand, no one will contradict, as his name
is known throughout the United States,
and Ilia exploits are equally as familiar.
We shall ba ablo to statu in a fow days
whether bis career will bo written up at all
or not, but wo are now prepared Id state
that thore will bo no autobiography but
there may be a biograhy of his life yet pub
lished; Srop Thiek. On Sunday lust a man
named George Cunningham hired a horse
and buggy of Mr. McCormujk, at Shambur?,
to come to Petroleum Centre, and nothing
was heard of Cunningham or horse, n ntil
last evening, when Mr. A. S. Prather, of
l turner, was returning home from this
place, ho heard the neighing of a horse in
the woods just a'bove James McCray's house,
and upon going to the spot found a horse
bitched to a buggy, the animal tied to a
tree, and apparently in a starving condi
tion. The horso was kindlv eared for.
was brought to Petroleum Centre to-day,
anu was Immediately Identified as the same
hired by Cunningham, at Shamburir. Pun.

"It Never Raixs Unless xt Pours."
Considerable excitement and some anxiety
seems to exist among our young men just
at present. A "panio" is tho rosult.
Our young and respected townsman, Goo.
M. Wright, determined never to be outdone
by his associates, has taken unto himself
wings and flown to hie homo, tn Couneaut, O.
where awaits him a blushing young maiden
who is to share his fortunes houcetorth till
death doth part man and wifo. This an
nouncement will lake his many friends in
this vicinity By surprise, but it is another ev
ldonce that a promising young man enn set
aside the daily production of oil wolls, for
a time and turn bis attention to tho "stern
er" realities of bis existence.

A Mtstbrt. The Tuukhannock Repub
lican gives the following as beyond Its com
prehension :
"Sueijuehannab county has a first-class
mystery. A man named D. A. Johnson, of
Franklin. Veiuogj oounty, Pa., writes to
the postmaster of Ruahville, Susquehanna
county, giving an account of tbo tiudiug of
the dead body of a man with skull broken
and signs of having been dead a week. In
bis pocket was found a card bearing the
words "Dr. O. Stewart,, of Susquehanna
county, Pa.' A tall man by the name of
Corson bad been traveling with him when
last seen. Upon this representation a man
named Corson was arrested and put in jail
at Montrose. It now turns np through a
letter to the district attorney of Susquehan
na county that tho citizens of Venango
ojuuty knew nothing ot the murder as above
described, or of 1). A. Johnosn." Tbo
whole affair Is involved in deep mystery,
Corson baa since been discharged, as the
only evidence agaiust him is Johnson's loi
ter." In tho Uto convention at Newport, Mrs.
Ivabelbt Peecher Hooker said that she
hoped tbo tiiet man she met on the other
side of Jordan, outside her family circle,
would bo Moses. Mrs. Stanlou being asked

An Omaha despatch says: The election
Tuesdny was peaceable though excited.
Keturnn indicate the election of thtee Rep
resentatives and one Senator to tho Legis
lature and Republican Sheriff, Clerk, As
sessor and Commissioner. The Democrats
elected .Probato Judge and Treasurer, who
run on the peoples ticKct. Pueblo and Los
Unmans counties give increased Republican
majorities. Clear Creek county, as far as
heard from, gives a Republican ranjoriiy.
A gentleman who accompanied Secretary
Seward to Sitka, writes that the mosquitoes
of that region do not carry venom in their
billB, which has tbo anasthotio effoct of
chloroform. Like modern dentists they put
their patients to sleep boforo opornting on
thorn. So diff.-rent are they from the com'
iuou species, that the tired traveler no
longer feels annoyed by the buzzing of their
wings but rather courts the music as a pres.
age of a good night's rest. They aro largo
and vigorous, and it is thought by some, if
caro bo taken to disseminata them, they
might displace tho old variety altogether.
Indeed Mr. Seward took pains to have some
of them exported to the patent ofllce at
Washington, for distribution. This was
only one of many discoveries that were
made in regard to the productions of the
ex-secretary's lato purchase; and he recom
meeds that a territorial government should
be formed at once, and tho territory named
Utopia."

chinery, is made to play any required tunc
on the bells by means ofone hundred and
twenty-three hammers arranged on the out
