At the conclusion of this most brilliant oratorical effort Mrs Hillwlg retired in good shape, and thus 'Sanded a distinguished visit. About three o'clocx this alternoon a sharp flash of lightning struck the large iron lank located on tbe bank of the creek, Egbert laroi, and owned by Messrs. Phillips & Iioytes. Tbe tank is a coverod one and so powerful was tbe stroke tbat the cover was lifted entirely up and moved lo ono side a short distance. The fluid passed 'in one side and evidently moved entirely round tbe tuutc coming out almost directly oppo alto to tbe place of enlrauoe.

Local option does not upponr to work well In Armstrong county, according to a correspondent ol tbe East Brady Independ ent: We ere sorry, Indeed, to say that tbe local option experience of Armstrong county, not unlike our neighboring county of Clurion, bag been such as 'n dlrgust number who voted against license, and if aootber elec tion were to be beld in tbe fall to decide ill fate we erionly doubt if it could again be carried. Hard cider is dealt out ber, in tbe absence of beer, and whisky men do drink it and become Intoxicated upon it. Its effects are worse than beer, end even worse than wbisky.

He says these' lot ol people, lots of business, lots of wmk and an Immense quantity of oil, but no soup. The sheriff is doing more business than any one else. We learn that Miss Ccpeland has pro; rogued the school board and people tbusly : 'Gentlemen I am going to teach your school.

Citizens of Plumer by submitting to tbe above pronun- ciamento Irom a teacher who la regarded by you all with Ineffable disgust you throw away you rights and become tbe subjects of this ancient and tyranical propagandist. More anon, Tbe oil regions are not alone In having dull times. Every city and town lo tbe United States are oomplalning ot dullness in all trade.

He Is not a man who would bieak up with a large amount ot cash 00 band, but would pay every debt possible to pay. That bis failure has been overestimated and blsrepu. latiou has been slandered considerably, there is no doubt, but we think Mr. Lamb log will come ont triumphant in the end He is not a man to be kept down.
