A COMPLETE ESTABLISHMENT.— Last week we were shown through the EXCELSIOR DYE WORKS, at Lewis burg, by the obliging proprietor, WM. A. Davis, Esq. The concern seems to be entirely complete in all its arrange ments, and Mr. Davis himself is an ex pert in the business. lie has had many years of experience in this country, England, Germany and Russia. He showed us a number of shawls and gentlemen's suits which had been dyed and pressed, making them appear like new, at a small cost. We have agreed to act as agent for Mr. Davis in this section and will nt i tend to all work entrusted to us.

It is rumored that Rebersburg is to have an exhibition at no distant day. Hope it may be a good one. Mr. Carliu, one of our teachers has quit the business on account of failing health. Dr. LciUell steps in and finish es the term. It is likely that the modus operandi is somewhat different from that pursued in a Dental College. How is it, Doctor? Mrs. Bierly, wife of the Hon. W. B.

It is reported a capital sermon. Tne Rev. gentle man has made many warm friends in this community, during his two years, ministry, and it is site sineer* wish of the church that Conference will send him another year into our midst. Meyer has been holding ex aminations in some of our schools during the hist week. We haye not heard how proficient he found the boys and girls in his new departure, but we hope the plan is as good as it is novel. Qcis? Franklin, Pa. Feb. 25, Mr. Editor; Having a few leisure rm ments In. day, I coucUided to write a little for "The Journal,' 1 which lias been shame fully neglected, ever since ray return to ♦he "Land of Oil," over a yar ago. However, as I wassobu-y t iat this could not be helped, it is useless to make excuses about the matter. This winter has been a very cold one, indeed, and yet the number of wells that have been drilled throughout the Oil regions, seems almost incredi ble, and goes to prove what an ener getic and iersevering i-eople we are, even in all kinds/of weather—or in no weather, at all. One great inconvenience during the earlier part of the winter was the scarcity of water; and at many places operations were suspended until a few weeks ago when we got water in such a quantity, that we felt like saying with—was it Macduff? "Hold, e nough! enough!" In tact there was a regular flood, aud this in connection with the breaking up of the ice upon our creeks a-d the river, created quite a hubbub—took awiy many of our bridges and caused general havoc throughout the region round about. A wiuow woman living about five or six miles from here, barely succeeded in getting her children out of the house, before it started off on a voyage down the Allegheny. Among other curious things that went sailing bv, was a chicken-coop, filled with its inmates, as well as having three or four sitting upon the roof, and one large "Rooster," was perched up 011 tne apex, and crowing in clarion tones, which he kept up as long as we could hear. Right here we did not suffer from the flood—and that is one of the ad vantages of high living, now, isn't it? Light oil is now worth only ninety j five cents per barrel—while the heavy is worth from four dollars to four dollars and fifty cents. The light is called second sand, and the heavy, third sand oil. The latter is used for lubricating purposes, aud is not near so plentiful as the former. * The well known Gallowav Tract, a bout a mile from Franklin, is the great heavy oil district, and whenever a well is drilled, it must be torpedoed, before it yields the grease. They never get any flowing wells of heavy oil, even where it exists in great quantities, it is always pumi>ed out; but they have everything arranged so scientifically, that thirty, forty, fifty and even more wells are constantly pumped or kept in operatian with one engine, which is a very great saviug of fuel, labor and ex pense. But fearing you may think thatold Pete has gone into a state of dotage, ami is very tedious, this had better be brought to a close, by promising more anon, or as the story papers say, "To be continued, in our next." FETE ROLEUM. News Miscellany. A well filled railroad oil tank recent ly bu rated at New Columbia, and the spot was soon well populated with citi zens supplied with vessels wherein to deposit the fragrant contents which were fast running to waste.— Chron. Three planets, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn can now be seen close together in the western sky in the evening. Thev are getting into the shape of a triangle. Such a conjunction of these three plau j ets seldom occurs. Esquire Keuben F. Brown, of Lewis burg has a "grandfathei's clock" on an improved plan. Once an hour it makes music and halt a dozen couples dance to the music. It is quite a cur iosity. A religious editor down in OcorgiH makes the following olervation: "Gold is found in thirty-six counties in this State; silver in three, copper in thirteen, iron in forty-three, diamonds in twenty-six, and whisky in all of them; and the last gets away with all the rest." A farmer of Sussasunnac, N. J., charged some wood with powder £o ascertain who was robbing bis wood pile. The next day an explosion oc curred in a neighbor's house. The stove blo\vti to pieces and one ot the inmates injured. Both parties now know who got the wood. A Touching Scene. A very touching scene was witness ed at the funeral of Mr. John Sims, of Griffin, Georgia, who recently died in Atlanta. The body lias been brought to Atlanta for interment, and the News says: tl At the grave, as the casket was b-ing lowered into the grave, the gricfstricken and broken hearted wife, whose sorrow had all the time bee i sad to witness, became un controllable, stopped those at thi c ftin, and asked for one more look at the face of her dead d uliug. The lid was unscrewed and taken off, when she fell upon the coftln, and put her face close against the fa;e of the dead, her lips to it, and tlnu 8 d and wept, and bewailed his death. After a few moments friends lifted her up, and placed her upon a seat near by. As the earth was thrown iuto the grave she sobljed %i Good-by, good-by, dar ling!" in a tone unutterably sad and agonizing. Around her grav-, among those who witnessed her sorrow and grief, there was scarcely a dry eye. The sc?ne would have moved a heart of stone."
