The Oil Market. The market,
says the Titusville Courier of the 8th
jnst., toucliedJ)ottom on Saturday fore'
noon last, in me aitcrnoon there was
an unmistakably' better feeling, and at
the close there was a good deal of firm
ness at every point, with an apprccia
tion of five cents per barrel of crudo
oil. The amount purchased last week
was large beyond any preoedent in the
history of the oil trade, for the same
period of time.
The commission appointed by Gov.
Hartranft to propose amendments to our
Constituting met the other day aud
organized. They will consider the sub
ject proposed to them nnd decide in the
Fall what amendment to submit to the
next Legislature. The best friends of
the new Constitution begin to see its
defects and will be among the foremost
in curing them. This movement there
fore is not in hostility to this organtic
law. If it is was, the high character of
the Governor's commission would be a
sufficient guaranty that no harm could
come to it.
"Brinley and 4G."-The poem "Brin-
lsy and 46" that has been so extensively
copied and read, more because it had
Bret Harte's name at its head, than from
intrinsio merit, has turned out to be a
clever sell. It first appeared in tho San
Francisco open letter, and its history is
as follows: One of the editors of that
paper made the assertion that a poem
written in the style of any well-known
author, no matter how absurb it might
be, would be oopied throughout tho
length and breadth of the country.
The point being disputed, '-Brinley and
46" was wiitten and sent upon its tra
vels, proving the disputed assertion.
Among the absurdities of the piece is
the idea of an engineer freezing to death
by the side of a blazing fire
Scientific Shooting. The War
ren Mail says: Last week we recorded
the result of a shooting match at James
town, June 3d, between the champion
shot of New York, G. W. Fowler, and
Horace Warner of Ridgway. They
shot four strings of 10 shots each at
40 rods, $100 a string and $100 for
the general average, at a rest. Warner
used a rifle of his own make, and Fowler
used one of Billiughurst's. Fowler
won as will be seen by the following
stuDis:
Fowler 1st string;, 133 inches; 2d,
13; 3d, 12J; 4th, 10; general
average, oU inches: average for each
shot, 1.
Warner 1st string, 151 inches, 2d.
191; 3d, 143; 4th, 13$; general average
62 inches; average for each shot, a
trifle over 11 inches.
Their style of shooting may be very
scientific, but what would Robert
Miles, or Orren Hook of Zack Eddy or
Dave Martin or Kim Russel or other
old time crack shots say to the nonsense
of screwing your rifle in a vise and call
ing it a shooting match? Why we
once made a 11 inch string 10 shots at
20 rods with a rifle belonging to one oi
Bcrdao's sharp shooters in 1861. He
was from Ridgway and we are not sure
but it was Warner himself, we forget
the name; and we had none of your
vise rests or little flags and didn't brag
about it either. The Jamestown Jour
nil describes their "new fanglcd no
tions" thus:
To a novice their style of Bhootinc
seemed a little peculiar and unscientific,
but wo are assured that this method re
quires much more judgment .and skill
than the old "oil hand way and glanc
ing through the sights at each shot.
Mr, Fowler's gun was placed on a sort
of a stand like vise, that permitted it to
move only backward and forward, to
allow for the recoil. Between the rest
and target were placed at intervals small
flags, to indicate the force and direction
of the wind. The marksman securing
a time whea both wind and light are fa
vorable glances through the sights 'and
by one or two trials gets his gun per
fectly aimed, and secures it in that posi
tion. Then his whole attention aud
skill is directed towards the flags, firing
whenever an opportunity presents. It
was here that Fowler had the advantage
of Warner, for though the latter had his
gun on some such a stand, he was
obliged to place his eye to the sighs
each time before firing. Both contest
nnts departed for their homes this
moroiDg. The match was a very ex
citing one to those present and many
are expressing the wish that the two
will meet again when Mr. Warner is
better prepared.

it looks very manly especially when
their fathers were drunkards lor they
must have seen how nice their fathers
looked when drunk. I like to see
church members keep, sober faces in
church and when they go home, curse
and swear as much as they please, it
looks so religious and pious.
