It is now about a year ago since tbe plank S

nist of our citizens will remember tbat it
was almost impossible at I be time to gat
niiyono to tuko hold and build tlie road,
mid tun parly undertaking tbe job bad to
roly on the generosity of tbe public for re
muneration. Tb e job wag undertaken by
Messrs. Sternberg & Warner, and a . Bub
sciipt'inri pupcr was started to raise tbe nec
tary amount. Many ot the citizens along
tho street sulwcribed liberally, while otbera
received tho Hill benefit or tbe Improvement
without paying ' a dollar. Messrs. Stern
Warner are out uj pocket to tbe luue of
$250, which amount should bo raised for
hem by those who bavo paid nothing. Such
enlerpi inn and public spirit Is deserving ol
vonimendation, and wo bopo to bco theso
Keiilletnen amply repaid for their troublo.

I'm roKs CMi bikb! Tbinklni; that per
haps you would like to hear fiom tbe Oil
Country, we will reWto our experience on a
recent Irip to the "red hoi" section. The
nam of the place. is not determined yet.
It is like a youii;; couple's. Iirt born rheyJ
can't flud a nnuio good enough for it.
It is called,by some '-Haitle Clly," on
accout of a piece of disputed territory about
which' there was almost a riot at least
thers was some threatening and swearing',
nrtd eventually one man had his mouth
slapped. IVo lindersland the disputant
Uou't jikc thia name, because it remiuds
them so forcibly ol thn aforesaid, almost
riot; and what they are to call it we could
not learn. However, we will designate il
as H!e City. Well, we had 1-e.trd a
gront deal abent oil leases, big wells, lies,
money, Ac, and we thought we would visit
the place where so much could lie seen at
once. It Is nbnu't five miles from Tidionte,
and two and a halt miles from the Allegh
eny river, near the line between Forest and
Warren cuuuties. Wu inquired, and found
we could get there by going either to Tidi
onte or White Oak (a small station on tho
river), as there is a line of stages running
from both plaws. We concluded to go by
way of Tidioil'te. So we took the morning
train to tbat place; from there, we took a
stage (said stage consisting of two bundles
of bones done up in horse hides, and a mar
ket wagon with about as much spring to it
as a log), and started for Batllo City. Af
ter about two hours' tiding over the rough
est road we ever saw, three or four break
downs, and much preaching from tbe driver,
wearriTedftt tbe battle ground. We got
out of the stago and began to look for oil
Alter diligent search, we found a well which
was pumping about two hundred and (Illy
barrels per day. We could tto nothing
very grand or piciurestjuo in that dark
stream of crude oil, until some bystander
remarked, "tbat darned thing is a
Itood thing to have in a family; It.
HowB a dollar ajiiinit" and we b"gan to
think what a dollar would buy; that it
would even pay tor a ride (rocs Tidioutn
It began to look good, then better, and final
ly we concluded it was tbe richest looking
thing we ever saw. After looking at tbe
well for some time (which is on what Is
kao.yji as the Battle firm), w went to look
at the town. This town has all been built
within two or three weeks tbat is, since
the- big well was Btruck and built with tbe
expectation of more wells being1 struck.
The town consists of about lirtcen saloons,
one unfinished hotel, there are four hard
ware stores, five or six groceries, one bil
liard ball, one barber shop and boot shops
under tbe mmo shed, six or fight bokrding
houses, nnd thirty or forty derricks. I can't
be very detlnito with the numbers, as there
might have been some boarding houses or
stores in tbe bushes that I did not see. The
place is full of men looking for work, land
sharks looking fop leases, and some (very
few, though) looking and drilling for oil.
As wo wanted to see bow oil looked in tho
dark wo concluded to slay all night. We
went to the keeper of the . unfinished hotel,
and told him uur wants.'- He says. "All
right, supper is ready." We. went to sup
per, and, at a proper honrj started to go to
bed, and asked tbe landlord to show us the
way. He sadly shook his bead, and said,
bo "was chockriill, but there was a pile of
shavings we could havo." We, being very
tired, laid down on the shavings, and began
to Bbivcc; nnd, as well ns we can recollect,
wo shiverrfiJnsjst or tbe time for two hours.
We the' go np and went to an engine
houso, got on the soft side oi a pine board
close to tho funfjSfcf , and alternately dozed
and though outroud till morning. We then
took a farewell look at rial lie r,iv n,i
