Getty, the Univer salis! clergyman, Is highly educated and a thorough Greek sobolar, and our Informant thinks better versed In Biblical lore than bis opponent. Rev. Graham speaks right le the point, but Is k trifle Inclined to al' low bis temper to get the upper nandi of him, However be la doing good service for bit aide of tbo question. The debate Is watched with Interest by numbers of people from Kane CMy, Trf Faim, Petroleum Centre and Columbia, Ii la proper to state that the adherents oj Methodism In attendance at the discussion Is much greater than those of Uoiveitaltsta, there belog at times no lens than six Moth olist preachers present. This does not ap pear to dlsooncert Rev. Getty in tbe leust. The debate is carried on in trne parliamen tary styie, and "may the best man win," i y we. The new well on tbe Strawbrldge Farm' near Cberrytrae, Is nearly completed. Local news Is dull today. Rood Commissioner McHugh is at work on tbe Columbia farm. Mr. James Aoderson, of this place, who bat charge of several wells in tbe lower district, Informs us of a very singular freak In oil wells, but which should it happen to a good inrtoy more of tbe big wells there abouts, would undoubtedly prove a blessing to the oil market. At least seven or eight wells In bis immediate vicinity, including their own, from yielding between 25 and 40 burets dally, went down loja little over .a week to four, Ave and seven barrel dally. - la bit own well tbe tubing was drawn, valves replaced by new ones, and a torpe do put in, but no benefit whatever resulted therefrom. The only conclusion to be drawn it tbat the wellt are playing out. A (earful case of murder la reported at Plttsueld, on tbo line of tbe Dunkirk, War tea & Pittsburgh Railroad.

A Hyeroraeter, Oh, yes you want a Barometer, I will show you "No, sir," said tbe thoroughly enraged cue tomer, "I want a Hygrometer and I would not have one out ol your store it you would give It to me."

The English style of wearing tbe hair Is being quite extensively adopted by Eastern fashionable ladles. It Is not, as a rule, be. coming, but Is neat and tidy, which Is con siderably more than tbe prevailing fashion Is, at all events. The EnRlirh style Is to brush the balr back from tbe forehead and fasten It at the btck in a coil or knot. Crimping, frizzling and messes, generally, are abolished; ditto tbe vulgar fashion of parting the balr oo tbe tide.

One method applied to opium eaters is perfeotly simple and sociable. Tbe policeman sitsd wq opposite his prifO ner and playfully keeps an opium ball ro' ling about tbe'palm of bis band. Ot coutse tbo prisoner sufTeaa like Tantalus himself, and tbe consequence is tbat tbe policomon soon gets his story and tbe prisoner bas opi am. Another method used, where there are a number ot prisoners suspected of tbe same offense reminds one of similar pro ceedings In Arabian tales. One man Is ta ken from tbe number and locked up alone while bis companions Imagine that Is in the next room. In tbis room ere several inspec tors who proceed to stoutly belabor an empty sock banging in the corner one of tbem keeping up a violent groaning. Tbis over, tbe man is loudly called upon to cod fess, and a constable in a low, mumbling voice simulates a cinlessien. Tbis seems a tragedy to tbe trembliog prisoners in tbe otber room, aud when the next man in brought nut he is almost sure to make e mil confession.
