U4i; W are In reoelpl or a telegram from Mr. M. N. Allen, editor of the Tilusville Courts r, as follows: "Can't you get up a meoti leg against McCluro's amendment.'' As we understand the subject, this amendment does away entirely with tbe free railroad law of the Stato, and throws the entire rail road Interest of tbe Commonwealth into the band of lb Pennsylvania Central Rail toad. Tbe proposed act, If It Incomes a law, will seriously affect If not utterly luln. me business or tbe oil region. We suggest that a piibti) meeting be called to express basons of our cltizeus against this in fa nous measure. Tbe walking is not tsry good tbese days, at least we should judge so from tbe quan tity of soow that baa falleu the last day or two. The young folks de tiot appear to tbluk so.

Ray, bands ns copy of the Newport, Kentucky, Weekly Lead er, In which we dad the following notice o our former townsman, Mr. G. R. Harms,- long connected with tbe Central Petroleum Company of this place : Among our most Important enterprises in this city Is tbe ereotion ol the Kentucky Coal Elevator, owned by Harms, Williams & Co., situated on the Licking River, just above Swill's Rolling Mill. These gentle' men are all men of ample tneaua; and we are satisfied are well able to carry nut any object tbe.v may aadertake. They are both young men. and well lilted by all who know tbem: and by the people giving them their portion of patronage, this Institution wil1 regulate tbe coal market, so that especially our poor people will tbauk tbem. Mr. G. R. Harms, a sun in law of G. W. Robson came to this city and associated bfmeell with Mr. Williams, and they conceived the idea of building a coal elevator to ship coal a tblog much needed, as tbo people have no way of getting their coal except at an enor mous expense. Tbe Leader goes ahead to pay Mr. Harms Due compliment as to bis qualiiicatlons as gentleman and a thorough business man, all of which Is correct, as tbe many friends of Mr. Harms iu tbe oil region can testify to. Fast Tims. Yesterday "Lager Bee; Pete" was silting In a sa oon will) a lriend talking over the scenes of tbeir childhood, and "Dor Watch on tbe Rhine," feeling just as good as one could leu I with ninety ulne glasses ot benr lo bim and Ibe hun dredtb just going down, wben in steps the "vrow" of bis lriend, wbo lortbwttb accus ed Pete of decoying ber husband from his work into the shiftless realms ot "Ueer dom," at tbe name time accusing him o1 oafing about their bouse and eattng up tbeir meat a whole "pig." Shame on you, Pete, lo go ibe whole "hog." Tbe thought of which made the "spouse" so furious that she flew at Pete like a tiger, tearing bis flesh with ber nails and beating bim over tbe bead with n broom until be flew from tbe wrath that bad come. Little Joe, wbo keeps tbe "gilt edged" boot and shoe estab lishment, says she "knocked all sorts ol lagor beer out ol him." Pete, who Is scared considerably, say be was "lusby and out Of Ox,'' but that be 1 now (pending two bout every day. He can be seen every day back of Little Joe's fighting tbe "sand bag," so bat wben tbey meet again "then comes tbe tug of war," Don't do It, Pete "For he that fights and runs away, Lives to fight another day." A new oil well has been struck on the McClelland farm, about one and a half miles northeast of Greecd City, wuiob is re ported as doing 300 barrels per diem. This opens up a vast extent ol new territory In Butler county, making this the richest oil Held ever discovered. A movement is on foot In Boston to save speculating clerks from tbe natural result 0' tbe exposure of tbeir misdoings.

Wblle.treveilng through tbe Oil Regions, a law year ago, and passing through a prospective portion of tbe valley of Oil Creek, I saw stauding alone on one of these' high bills peculiar to Ibat country, a rude shanty which seemed almost inaccessible lo man or beast, tbe ascent le its summit be ing nearly perpendicular. Entering Into conversation with a driller In one of tbe durricks near by, who happened to be owuer of that lofty mansion, be told me bis story, and being somewhat romantic, is Incorpora led in tbe following rude lines: My home is on yon mountain high, Whose summit towers to meet tbe sky. It stands alone, though not unseen, Amid this busy, stirring scene. Though planted oo that lofty dome,' It is a quint, bumble borne. For Ibere a matron, young and lair Spreads out tbe board with ample cue, Aa'l weaves a soug of poace and rest, Te tbe sweet Inlaut ou ber breast. Ah! onco in joy and Hope's bigh prima I held ber jeweled baud In mine; Ah! once wben times were not like tbese, Her fii.geis swept the ivory keys. Then mnsio flowed as flows a stream I boar It yet; as In a dreamt Then wrap't in Love's and Music's charm, I bowed before that fair young form; And Irom the altar, at my side, 1 led ber fir b, a blushing bride. I took her to my borne of wealth ; She seemed Ibe joy of borne herself. We rolled in Fashion's blinding maze, We lived in'pomp and luxury's blaze; And in the parlor's softened light, Or in tbe bull-room's giddy flight, Where beauty rivalled beauty's glance, And shamed The Graces In the dance; Wbere woman's softest charms inthrall She shone tbe fairest ol them all. But limes have changed; one adverse day, Swept wealth and power and all away; But left my bride with all ber cbaru.s, And one fair infant lo her arms. I came; and oo yon hill aside, OVrlooking Oil Creek' rapid tide, (So high it rises and so steep That you oould scarce your fooling keep, And searce asceod it from beneath, By stopping often lor your breatb, ) Of hemlock lumber,. rudo and bare, I built that lofty palace Ibere; No frescoed walls my bouse divide- One little wiudow on each side; Tbo' small and cramped its space may seem Vet lore and peace reign there supieuie. No neighbors vex us with their care. No peddlars bore us with their ware; And visitors but s. Mum come To see us in our mouutaiu home; And wben they do we're very sure 'Tis out ot friendship deep and pure. And Iu this Valley's busy bum, ' Which rises ere tho day bas come, With cheerful heart, and puise as light, I loil Irom morning until nlgbi; And sometimes as I drill (or o I, I sing to cbeeMhe hours of toil. Then comes Ibe welcome hour ofnigbt, And from yon bill sblues forth a light, To guide nie to its sacred height. And though that bill looks steep and drear, I soale it like a mountain deer; For that rude lodge ot hemlock there Is dear to me as palacn fair. Serenely from the world's alloy, Wo pass our nights in poace and joy, Above Ibe diu of loil and strife, We view tbe busy scenes of iile, And fromtbe lolly mountain height The Valley gleams and glows with light. And as tbo winter night grow long, She otleu slogs, to me a soug. And as I hear its uotes I s.iein, To float far off, os in a dream, A dream, a dream ot the olden time, Wben wealth and power and hope wei mine, And ss I sal in a gorgeous room Whose air was tilled with rich perfume, A maidWs Angers, soil and white, Tripped o'er the Ivory keys as liglii As fairy's footspeps, keepiug lime To beautiful words of the poet's rhyme; The soug dies out out with, its magic touc I gazti around tbe spell has iluwu I Ob! sweet thro' life's enchanted days, To live in love, suet quiet ways. Above its clouds, lis atoms ot woe; To bear its thunders roll below; Let others plod their weury way .Vong life's populous highway. ,v. Give me your mountains solitude, That bumble lodge, tbo' bare and rude; 1 loll to greet its cheerful light, My Star of Bethlehem by uigbt, The Mecca of my pilgrimage, Here, as I toil from youth to ake. ' Perhaps we may get rich some day, Aed then conclude to move away; 1 n A t V. . n will. nti - 1.1, ... - I . nun ,. uimuj m Wibiet BlgU j We'll bid our mountain bom goed-byej And tbo' a palace we may shsre, $ We'll not forget tbe humble lare.
