On Saturday night Inst, a young .man
from Meadvilb, who as near as we can learn
has been paying attentions to highly re
spectable young lady, -daughter of one of
our most prominent eit'isuns, and was said
i-o have been engaged to be married to ber,
arrived in town on visit to the lady. At
Oil City the young man indulged In tbe
flowing bowl to euofa an- tent as te become
iulox'.cated, and In that condition visited
tbo ludy, who quite properly immediately
dismissed bim from ber presence requesting
bim uever to iutrude bimtelf in ber society
.agaiu. bluce then and up to this noon
when be departed for tbe rural districts of
Meadville, the gentle youth baa been dis
coursed, and appeared to bave entered In to
a contract wltu himself to drink all .the
wbickuy in the oil region. Yesterday lie
concluded to shuffle uET tbia mortal coll and
retire to that undiscovered country where
woman is uulioard of, and fur that purpose
ought to borrow a two-edgud pistuel or
double-barreled knife to sever tbe cord that
bold lilm to things mundane In order that
be might become joined to matters ethereal.
In this ho failed und to solace himself toDk
a little more wbiskoy. We would advise
tbe "spounity" individual to souk bis feet in
warm water immediately upon arriving
borne, and indulge liberally lu Mrs. Wins-
low's Soothing Syrup fur Children. It will
no doubt afford instant relief lor bis wound
ed "pbeelluka."
Testing commeiioed on tbe lujetsi.U w ll
Mcl'ait farm, last night. Tbe water was
exhausted and tbe well bad oomiuenced to
pump oil this inoruing, w.haQ.iui fortunately
tbe seed-bag burst, and the tubing, bad to be
drawn to repair damages. A good well is
anticipated.

Poi.tcE. The colored population of Ren
neucfr Run. engaged in active conflict all
along the line". Their forces were nrrayed
in bailie line all along the Run, night bo
tore lust, aud skirmishing was carried on
until a lato hour without the spilling of
blood. Tho amendments rested on their
arms during the night, and all was quiet
until yesterday morning when the contlict
was renewed before Justice Reynold), the
following suits being entered for adjudica
tion: Mattie 3. Sweeney was arrested en oath
of Mattie Harper, charged with assault and
battery. For indulging in ibe fun of strik-.
ing the Qarp-er, Mattie was induced to de
posit $2,00 and coats fur Safe keeping with
the Justice.
On oatn of Martha J. Sweeney, Mrs. Nel
son was arrested for assault and battery on
the person of tbe lovely Manba. Case con

On oath of Mrs. Kelson. Martha 3. Swee
ney was "pulled'' lor violently and with
tralico alorethoi ght abtming aixl In divers
ways maltreating tbe aforesaid Mre. Nelson
Case continued to June 6th.
Martha J. Sweeney countered on Mrs.
.Nelson, by making oath cbargiog ber with
malicious mischief. Case continued to June
tb.
Mrs. Nelson then caromed on Martha J.
Sweeney, by making oath cbatgiug tbe love
ly Sweeney witb fornication. Case contin
ued as above.
Thl last charge appeared to take Martha
"ail aback,' and she probably concluded to
settle the fornication charge by committing
matrimony, as tbe lollowlug shows:
Married. May 29tb, 1371, by Justice
Reynold, Mr. William Demery to Miss Mar
tha Jane Sweeney. No cards. -

Keep i'oun Uovb In Niuuts, I'is as
lonlBbing to and what a large number of
small boys, ranging from eight to twelve
years of age, are permitted to run at large
through tbe streets at niglit. They rapidly
learn bad habits cunning around In tbis way
habits that may be tbe cause of landing
tbem in prison for the commission ot some
grime. Parents should remember, tbat in
granting such licenses to their Jjoys, they are
granting tbem au injury tbey never will el
face. Bad b alii is lortned la early youtb are

What a tearful respeusibiiity rests on those

habits in early youth by roaming about the
streets at niht smoking, driuking and cur
siog'iike pirates. It is fearful to think of,
and we trust tbat parents will give tbe
matter attention, to. that their gray beads
may-Dot be bowod down in ultor years by

Speculations about Ibe Mound Uutlders
still continues, but little Information Is ob
tained. A writer in Lippencott tbloks that
ltogetber tbe greatest monument of their
labor, and otie unequaled by any similar
work in the world, is the public roads In

following tbe sea coast over tbe,plains for a
distance of sixteen hundred miles, tbe other
crossing tbe flauks rnd ridges of the Cor
dilleras, extending from Quito to Cuzco, a
distance, including its windings, of nearly
altera bundred miles. Th latter is from
eighteen "to twenty feet wide, and runs
without a break over tbe moat difficult
country, being carried over rivers and tu
vieas by bridges ot stone or wood supported
by stone piers, and up the sides of tbe most
precipitous mountains by deep grades cut
In tbe solid rock. Stations were Vuiltat
various points on the road, consisting of
dwellings of cut stone, some of wbicb were
fortified snd supplied with batbs.

from the 250 barrel flowing welt on tbe
Prentiee ft Angell tract. They are engaged

Tbey are also laying out a portion of their
largo tract Into acre lots, preparatory to
having an auction sale. , Tbeir tract ' for
ger than tbey can operate alone, and tbey
propose to sell a portion of It to tbe highest
bidders. - This territory bids fair to become
the Held of large and successful operations,

causing oil men to buy up tbo territory witb
a view of developement Courier. "
