Another grand soiree, tinier the amp ices
ef the Kane City Daucing Club, was held
last eveniog in Murray's Hell, Kane City.
The attendance was unusually large, about
thirty-live couples being present, among
whom warn representatives from Petroleum
Centre, Oil City, Rousevllle and other
neighboring commnnltiea Owing to a pri
or engagement, Prince Alexis was not pres
ent. Howeuer the true spirit of republican
ism was toe great to permit his absence to
mar the enjoyment of the occasion lo the
least. . The affair wits conducted In an
orderly manner, and dancing was continued
until the wee small hours of trie morning,
when every en retired, well pleased with
themselves, the world in general, and Kane
City in particular, and hilly determined to
return in two weeks and try It again; also,
to partake of a grand supper at the Crocker
House.
A crowded bonst greeted Miss Amy Stone
and bar excellent company, 00 their last ap
pearance, at Sober Opera House, last eve.
olnjr. The sensational drama of '-The
Hidden Hand," was well brought ent in all
its parts. Miss Amy a Capitela acted out
the character of the wild wayward girl to
perfection perverse but at the same time
kind hearted. Mr. Marston as "Old Hurri
cane kept the audience In a roar of laughter
during the entire performance by his faith
ful delineation of the III tempered old man.
Mr. Stone as Wool. Mr Harrison as Black
Donald, and In fact the entire company
"acted well their parts," and gave universal
satisfaction to all present.
Our citizens will he please'! to learn that
this talented lady will pay anrtown another
visit before long. She can rest assured of a
keariy welcome.

A singular rxploeiouocomred at,Foxbnrgt
a few days ago. Gas from an oil well, a
sbort.di stance from a machine shop, was
used lor beating the furnace. One of the
workmen returned from dinner and "struck
a match" preparatory to lighting the gas,
but as 11 bad net been fully shut off before
leaving, an accumulation bad taken place
and said workman was much surprised to
see things "go to Binders" with a deafening
report. The pieces very accommodatingly
flew past on both sides leaving the man un
injured. I saw the flying missiles but hap
pened to beat a safe distance. -Erie Dis

Death or an Oil Prinob Jamea Terr,
one ol the oil princes, died at Meedvllle,
Pa., last week. He belonged to the class
of old residents who found themselves made
suddenly rich by the possession of oil terri
tory, whose unthrifty soil bad for many
years previous afforded tbem but a scanty
subsistence. The history of Tarr farm, as
oil producing territory, dates fromJuoe
1861, Mr. Tarr sold one-half ol his land in
terest In the oil for $30,000, to Clark A
Sumer.n of New York. The same parties
offered $80,000 lor the entire royally, but
Mr. Tarr refused to sell. Clerk A Sumne,
resold one-tbird Interest oltbe purch ase to
Col. Payne, Barnard, Spencer and ethers
ef Rochester, N. Y., for $36,000, but the
decline in the price of oil made these par
ties regret their purchase, tod they subse
quently disposed of their Interest to the
same Arm at the buying price. New and
paying wells were continually developed,
and Mr. Tarr of course accumulated a splen
did fortune. In the Fall of 1864, when gold
was worth $2 60, be was ottered $800 000
cash for the fee simple of the Tarr farm,
which was equivalent to $2,000,000. He
refused it. Up 10 the mouth of October
18C5, the total production from June 18U1(
covering a period of about lour and a hul,
years, exceeded 640.000 barrels. -Ex.
