There it was, in italics, half way down the "personal" column of the Herald, conspicuous ,only for its sin gular and most aggravating combi nation of letters and figures, the sole club to the whereabouts of the game I had been after for over a week, scarcely resting, eating or sleeping in my anxiety to secure the reward offered in a heavy burglary case— and something else.., That "Something else." All! my heart sank within me us I flung aside the enigmatical puzzle before me, and 1 leaning back in my chair gave my. self up to the gloomy reveries of the past. Edna Dayton—how I loved i her . ! How fair and beautiful ae a summer's id.yi had been the week in' which I. had met her, had loved her, and had been told that my affection was returned ! How well I- remem- 1 her the hitter parting—a hopeless ] one, it seemed to me—when I learn ed my fate from her'rather's lips, and passed down the orown-etone steps of the Dayton mansion, wondering if the inclination of moneyed men toward stone residence's was net caused by the existence of 'a similar , hard material in that part of the htt tuan anatomy known ass heart. . 1 - .I was a poor man, he said, and the profession of . a detective was a pre-! carious one.* His daughter loved 'One—be could not deny that- -be( 'she was his only child, and her wealth 1 and position demanded a match 'with some 'social equal. He would ' not I I break her heart by absolutely refus'ng ' to sanction our - engagement ; but jf within a year I should secure a for 1 - , tune of tWenty:five thousand dollai's and a lucrative business, and Edna eas still of the same mind—well, he would consider it! - Twenty-five thousand dollars! 'l ' grew sick at heart at the thought of the conditions 'imposed upon whilh I was to purchase my future hapPi- I mess. ' Friendless, the recipient of".a m'eagre salary, and utterly - unknown, where was 1 to raise this amount; and what business capacity bad I, the son of parents who had given me every , ' luxury, and neglected a prim.. tical education, until a crash came i that left us homeless and in penury? Day and night for over alnontb I brooded over my sorrow's, andiben 1 • one dity I was aroused into renewed 1 life by the reception of a formal bpi 1 courteous note trim Mr. Dayton re-, questing my immediate attendance at the mansion. . MY, feet seemed winged as I has , tened to the house of my beloved 1 Edna. What did it mean? Had he' I relented"? Was Edna ~sick, or did 1 businessikiait m e 'at the pleasure OI • my hard-bearted censor? • I was ushered into the library, where 'I , found, the old gentleman in an intent* state of excitement pacing - the floor, the •iwindow. -broken in, papers and Iboxes scattered about the apartmetti and- la safe in the coiner . broken open. . ..:. 1 I stared, at him in amazement. 1 " You seem agitited,Mr.Dayton," I ventured to suggest.

A METHODIST PREACHER. , A young man — who - used to be en-- gaged in business in the old country, during the palmy days, after a recent visit writes the following: While roaming thrOUgh the'oil country, our interest was excited by having cer tain localities pointed out to us as the place. where once stood a small ,city. •,Perhaps no of the oil re gion shows this as much - us that sit uated betWeeri 'Oil 'City and Titris vide, and no place as much as Petro leum Center. We Sand amazed - and almOat doubt the truth Of 'our . -infor mant when we are itold that this ib the Petroleum Center which We saw ten years ago. All that time, as the name implies, it was the center of the land-of -grease.. Snirounded as it was , by the-best oil producing tOuntry,it _ could not be otherwise. Vast num bers of houies, stores, machine shops, etc., were erected in a short time, and 'in 1808 it was a city . of3,ooB or 4,000 inhabitants. Everybody in' oildom knew of Petroleum Center. The eity had banks, immense hotels, large bus iness houses - , and could boastof three or tofu churches. The Whole - country around the place was a eity., - lAt night it was almost impossible to get through the great crowd:3'of - people collected for plea Sure. What a change! - Nothing can be . compared to itex- . 1. ,eept the destruction of war. Instead, of fine residences, the ground is now used - for-potato pitches; a road marks the place\where the principal 'street was; the churches yetstand, but no, bodiremainiAo attend them. I Per-. haps there are`D3o - inhabitants in the town'. now. NOrth -of PetroleUm Center we were al:own the place where in '66 and '67 \was the famous BenninghOff lbw There remains not a.sign' of anything e.%'er having been - there. As many will remember this was one Of the best oil territories • in, the country at that time. On the northern 'part of this farni Was a' small town by the-name of. Doublin.. It had. 209. inhabitants and was the terminus of the Bennitgladrßun railroad. Not a single house' re mains. In fact,- one would think not knowing any better, . that it .Ifad never been, cleared.. Many towns like this have gone — the same way. But - perhaps the next in importance is Pithole Like Petroleum Center it' is _nearly . gone. When C. B. Duncan, J .who died in Glasgow some years ago made his will be left . to a church of Pithole,ls2s,ooo. During . the .Legic•- lation. which followedgm committee .was sent to find the church. They returned and stated that no such :building existed, nor could they .find any one who ever knew . of It.. The facts are, When Mr. Duncan was in Pithole the church : existed _in. a . flourishing Condition. But it . had disappeared long before the cormnit teent. there.

Arriving at the depot we found that our train was just' rolling up to the station, and se-- cording to appointment met,Mr. and Mrs. William A. Henderson. of Penn Yan, and were soon seated in the palatial cars of the Northern Central Railway, and went whirling along, at . a rapid rate. It having rained the previous afternoon we-were but little annoyed with dust. The road pass es, through a mountainous region, and • one does not . easily tire because of the varied scenery. Riding along. gazing intently at the steep and heavi ly , timbered m.untain .sides, the seen'e, is quickly . dispelled for the mountain will suddenly terniinate, and we are ,permitted to look beyond into a rich land fertile valley; but this lasts only for a Moment, as thr range once more springs 'into sight ; at one point five ranges terminate and form a. most beautiful sight, s but the cars running at such a high rate of speed, we were only permitted\ a single glance. We found the employeei of the road kind and attentive; ever willing to impart any information desired, and we think it only just to speak of them here. Mr.' E. •E.

We took - seats in the Eagle hotel omnibus, and in a few miatites were settled in pleas-, ant rooms, and refreshing our dusty person, with a generous bath. We found the proprietor, Mr. . the right man in the right place, each one of his guests 'seeming to think - they were the favored one. We re- - tired to our roonia;earlyifeeling the" need of a )I.ight's rest, after a long day's ride. , At nine o'clock - next morning we . accepted an invitation-from Mr. and Mrs. Anderson to a seat with them for a driVe to the National Cemetery, which is brit -- a few- moment's ride from the "Diamond,"or public square of the village. Almost: every store, ' and all the private dwellings were decorated with sags, while evergreen ' arches bad been erected across the ' street. _ The first one -contained all the badges of the different corps engaged in that memorable battle; the second contained the word "Welcome", in large gilt letters, while the third had crossed sabres and .underneath the motto (that must,' have thrilled -the heart of every soldier present who bad participated in the Belt) "Wel come to ihe field you won." At the jOint where the Taneytown and Em mettsburg roads unite with the 'Balti more-road. stands what is - now known as the .'.'Battle-field Hotel." _ This house was ' , used as the out-pest for our sharpshoeterS,'an.d as we near it we find that , it is almost' entirely en veloped with flags of every aizesind description. We drOve on and soon entered the beautiful cemetery=which was - Consecrated on the 19th ,day 'of 'November, 1863, to our soldier dead, " Who - fell in , that terrible thiee day's fight. Immediately on entering.one is struck with the marvelous neatness, that; prevail:: while - the grounds are - open from sunrise until sunset, and the ;entrance_ to they - grounds is; free, still there has not, in late •years, been manifests disposition_to molest or desecrate the grounds. Just inside the entrance the eye meets the bronze statue of Major General John F. Bey nolds,-who was killed almost at the' openinc , of the battle. The base is of dark Quincy granite, about ten feet . high, and cost $2,825. The statue i 5 east from condemned cannon,-dona ted by`the State of Pennsylvania; it represents the General standing with his face turned toward that " part of -- the field on which, the enemy were ad vancing when befell, pierced; through the hea d with a .minnie bullet: the right hand holding a field! glass and hanging by his side; the left grasps the top of the hilt of his sword. In this cemetery lie the , bodies of 3,564 Union soldiers; each grave; where the name was_known, is dis tinctly marked, the nanie, reginient and company being cut in the lime stone coping which runs_ along the bead of each section of graves. Here on this beaufifal spot, rest froin their • weary toils, the known bodies of SW/- soldiers from New York State,-while 'in the section set -apart for the un- known dead, the number runs t0'979. We_slowly.drove around the grotinds which cover:seventeen.ncres. Below we• quote from Sainuel P. Town's his tory of the Gettysburg battlefield, the 'leseription of the Soldier'S Monu ment • - , .
