' New Postal Itegulatlone.
As the new postal regulartlons possess a
legal as well as a general lmpoi tauce we
give (bema place in our local columns:
Tbe new postal bill which became a law
just before the cession of Congress closed,
makes some changes la existing postage reg
ulations which are of general interest. The
most Important is the authorization of one
cent pos'al cards for correspondence or for
printed circulars, similar to those which
were Introduced In Great Britain nearly
two years ago, and are now in use in nearly
all European countries. Tun House pro
vided in the bill for paper flap to cover and
eoncenl the writing. The Senate qhanged
this to an open carrl, la conference com
mittee the style of tbe Card was left to the
discretion ot the Postmaster General, who
prefers tbe open card and will order that
kind only to be manufactjred. Tbe face of
t.liO card will bear a one cent stamp, and
the back will be ruled for tbe letter. Tbe
price of the card and stamp will only be one
cent. It will probably be three or four
weeks before they will be ready lor sale, as
the plates for printing have yet to be pre
pared. The postage on olrculars, newspa
pers and (Other -transient printed matter,
which under the law was two cents for every
four ounces or less. Small circulars, which
formerly cod two cents to mail, can be now
be sent for one cent an Important redaction
to business men who use the malls largely
to advertise their business. The change Is
now in force, the law being Immediate ta
its effect.
Personal. Mr.,. Charles Phillips and
family, of New Castle, arrived In town yes
terday. Mr. Phillip" will be remembered
as being the gentleman who met with sere
ious accident from a runaway pair of horses,
a few months ago, by which be baa been
laid up ever since. He has nearly recover'
ed from tbe lojurles received at that time.
Our townsman, Mr. N. H. Payne tod
wife, left town yesterday to attend tbe
Peace Jubilee at Boston. We wish him a
pleasant time.
The Rouseville correspondent of the Oil
City Derrick, says:
Levy, tbe Hebrew clothier, bad a girl ar
rested last week for assanlting bls,littl6 boy.
She was taken before Justice Reynolds, at
tbe Centre, by whom, through the efforts
of Counsellor Given, she waa acquitted.
Levy bad the costs to pay and tbe beer to
buy for tho "boys," who fleeced him most
unmercifully by their drinking, as tbe whole
bill will fool up but little less than $30.
"Sheep cloding" is at a discount in conse
quence.

Cherrytree Run bas now four pipe lines In
operation a good many for tbe reduced
production of that locality the Central
Transportation piping to tbis point;- Boul
ton & Barcroft piping to Columbia Farm;
Richardson piping to Tarr Farr Farm, and
tbe Cherrytree Pipe Line piping to Rynd
Farm. .
With tbio number In operation the Com
petition on transportation rates and prices
for oil when delivered' has become spirited.
Tbe Central now charges five cents per bbl.
and no per cent. off. After tbe 1st of July
the Cherrytree pipe will . charge ten cents
per barrel and one per centf off.
Tbe other lines are either making reduo
tlons oi offering perquisites wbiob make tbe
Inducements equal.
The new freight tariff of fifteen cents per
barrel for oil from Columbia, discriminates
some agalnBt tbe Central.
Tom. Wait and Billy Pngb, tbe gentle
manly proprietors of the Verandah Saloon,
returned to town yesterday from a fishing
excursion In tbe wilds of Forest county.
The fishing grounds waa tbe forka' of Sal
mon Creek, and in two days fishing they
caught 666 speckled trout. Pretty good
catob, In addition to the fun of camping
out in the woods for a day or two.
A good and desirable place In Petroleum
Centre to purobase boots, shoes, gaiters,
rubbers, 4'a, Is at Geo. Magraoe's boot and
shoe store, on Washington street He is the
sole agent In this place for ' tbe celebrated
Ventilating Water Proof Boots and Siioes,
decidedly the Driest boot and shoe ever made
for keeping the feet dry, tbey being imper
vious to water. Geo. soils bis goods at re
markably low rates. Give him a call.
Messrs. Fisher, . Norrls & Co., tbe weir
known machinists, bave applied for a pat
ent on an Improved Temper Screw for Drill
log Oil Wells. It is decidedly tbe best oil
well tool of tbe kind ever Invented. We
woul J advise our oil' operators to call and
examine it, at tbelr shop on Main streot.
Mr. Jobn Oberly, of Plumer, is about to
sink another well on bla tract of land be
tweeu Plumer and - Pltbole. The apirlts
having gone back on bim In tbe location of
two wells, both of which proved to be dry
boles, tbia time be proposes to locate it
without tbe aid of spirits of any kind. We
bpe be may meat with aucctes.
Canada Oil Nkws Tbe W. Clement
and Mors well, upon ttie north end of the
Lambe property, flowed at the'doptb of 400
lebt, and was pumped a short time, when
drilling was resumed, and the well Is nearly
down, gas in abundance, and it Is expected
the well will be a good ono. A few lun
dred rods south tbe Chamberlain aod Val
lea well is down 402, and will be pumped
In a fow days, good show and plenty of gas.
The rig for the Bolton and Campbell well is
getting ready. Further south Mr. Lnmbe is
putting down a now well. Peat, Gurdantl
Johnston bave a well ready for testing; 1'
Taylor & Co. are drilling; Kennedy and
Jetrry No. S Is Improving; F. Smith & Co
are drilling a well upon tbe Monroo proper
ty. The Fish and Townsend well, neaT
middle of Lambe territory, Is being tested;
Penton &, Co. are drilling; C. Smith & Co.
are also busy drilling upon the same terri
tory. Near the south end of tbe Lambe
property, tbe new well of Gurd, Johnston
and Peat, proves a good one. The "lien
Bolt" has been put deeper, and ia being
tested, with fair prospects. The burnt well
of Ribigbmi and Brake la being rebuilt, and
their new wells are progressing favorably.
Tbe Lancaster & Co. well, t ear by la not
completed as yet. The Moffat and Co. well,
upon tbe Lamotl place, is down, and will
soon be tested. Tbe Tetrau well, upon tbe
same territory, Is progressing. Mr. Mcllou
gall la putting down a new well upon bis
property to the Not'west, aud Drader & Co.
bave a rig ready upon bts farm north of 12th
line. Tbe Cafllnan well Is being drilled.
A few other parties are about to commeoce
operations In tbe same locality. We under
stand the Healy, WIddls, and a few otber
wells further to tbe Nor' -west art progress

Sitting for ose's picture Is not a very fas
cinating employment; it Is monotonous, to
say tbe least, particularly In sitting for your
picture by tbe photographic process. If
you try to put your on your best look yotr,
invariably get up a smirk, and If you try to
look perfectly natural you look stiff, aud
old, and cross. But they bave a way at
New York police headquarters that is effect
ual, even If it does not secure a perfect
likeness. Tbe otber day a thief was taken
to the artist for bis picture, that it might
adorn tbe gallery of tbiessV counterfeits.
One would suppose a tblef would not object
to a good counterfeit, but In Ibis case be
did, and on being placed before tbe Camera
he shut his eyes and opened bis mouth, like
the mouth of a cave, and' be made up faces.
Tbe result can be imagined. Finally 'cuffs',
were put on bis .hands not of lacelutof
iron a strap Was' put over bis bead and
under bis chin to keep bis mouth shut, aod
yet tbey could not strap bis eyes open, and
so bis picture waa taken' with his optica
closed.
An Elopement.
One solitary occurrence' of tbe past week,
says tbe Clarion Democrat Inspired tbe
drooping spllits of tbe localizer gladdened
our heart and caused ns to whittle our pen
cil ot bolb ends. On Friday of last waek a
woman with a little girl' arrived in tbe
Brobkville stage, stopping at tbe Loomis
House, and registered her name, Mrs. Set-
tlemyer, Brookvllle. Tbe next morning a
man came in the Brookvllle atage and b
aod tbe woman With tbe little girl took past
sage on tbe stage to Franklin. On Wed
nesday morning last, a man arrived from
Brookvllle and inquired anxiously of tbe
whereabouts of tbe psrtlca previously men
tioned. When told tbe story we bave re
lated, be said the woman was bis wife, aod
that she wet running away with another
man. He declared bla Intention of follow
ing ihe guilty parties, not 60 much 'tor love
of bia lawful spoute, as tcwwrVhk' vengence
on her by sending ber to e penitentiary.
