At first we thought it waa varioloid! then the carried on V) we thought it was very-old-boy, but It broke out in a Dolly Varden rash. Awful rash I Sbe Is a frightful picture to look at, for tbe disease has left ungainly marks upoo bet lorm which was never picturesque. Last week abe made tbe following motion at one ol our breakfast table debates: "Re solved, That tbe sum of thirty be expended In making tbo female head of this bouse prtseotable in society, " I followed in a few appropriate remarks on tbe insuficiency of money lo make a person presentable who lacked grace, modesty, comeliness, and all the oardinat virtues, and - offered as an amendment tbe following: "Resolved, That tbe thirty dollars alluded to be obtained be fore it-ia expended on tbe female bead (or back) of this bouse." f I left without stop ping to vote on tbe amendment. But It came net tbe thirty dollars, but tbe Dolly Varden. We bad an heir-loom lo tbe family a combined trundle-bed and lounge. It was my great large grand moth er's, and waa covered with cblnts. The figures on it represented "Columbus discovs erlog America in three vessels" and "Hot tentots gatberieg bucbu leaves at the Cape of Good Hope." Tbeae plotures bad fascin ated my infant eyes, aod were tbe idol or my measly, aoarlet fever childhood. But, alas! they fell a victim to lbs Dolly Varden scourge My wife got after it, aod in few hours it was Dolly Vardened. 1 felt that tbe last link that chained me to my grand mother bad been broken. Had it been tbe link iu my matrimonial chain I should not have sighed; but poor mother Doily Varden ed out or memory I I shall not attempt lo describe Mary Ann in ber loungecovered suit. Sbe looked like tbe bill to a circus, Tbe most insaoe object in life; And I could but exclaim, as I gazed on ber form, i "Mary Ann, you're tbe devil's own wife!') I believe that woman would give me up rethnr than patt with that uncivilized, un- cbristlanized Dolly Varden. Last week our Orange County cow "came in' for tbe spring trade. Tbe calf (wbich was little spotted thing) was Immediately ebrlalened "Dolly Varden." I remonstrat ed on tbe ground of "cruelty to animals." and explained that it waa not a bovine or a cow vine, but a bull vine, aod belonged to tho other sex, but all in vain; It bad to be Vardenlzed. Poor little, disgraced brute, I ahall kill It before it realizes what Its name is. So constantly bad this name rang In my ears that I Inquired in tbe drug store for some Dolly Varden pills and a Daner of Dolly Varden onion seed. Tbe uext sew Ing society meet at our bouse, to make Dolly Vardena for tbe little naked heathen. To-morrow Mary Ann commences ber bouse cieaniug orgies, anu l lave my annua1 heglra. I wonder If she will clean bouse in ber Dolly Varden. I can conceive or nottu log more formidable, awful, terrible, than a mixture of house cleaning and Dolly Var den. I never Interfere in bouse cleaning. but I leave It all to Marv'Aoo't discration I would rather ait and mediate on an Ice. tog, with nothing on but a cotton shirt and o straw bat, than lo enjoy all the comforts civilization 'during ouse cleaning.

Tub Raymiltou Oil Fiei.ik The flow ing well at Raymllton is still yielding tbe same amount of oil eight barrels per day as when first struck, some tbree weeks ago. Tbe history of this well is an anomaly in oil operations. It was bored two years ago las' fall, and alter an uuaucceesful effort to pump it, It was abandoned lor tbe time being About three weeks ago tbe owners, Messrs, Raymond Brothers, concluded to'try it ooce more. After exhausting the water, tbe valves refused to work, and upon drawing them they were louod clogged with bard mud. Tbe standing box was then drawn, and as soon as It was lifted - from Its place tbe well began to flow, and it has flowed steadily since, with out any perceptible decrease. This well establishes tbe. fact that there Is oil in that neighborhood worth going after. Venango Speotator. Ice Now that tbe extremely warm weather is upon us It is well for all to take measures to keep cool. In order to do this tbe only way is to procure a quantity of that genuine Chautauqua Lake Ice wbich ia kept constantly on band by tbe firm ol Bailey ft Smith, of this place, and wbicb they are selling at remarkably cheap prices. That is as good way to keep cool aa we know of. John Brown Farm Oil Items.
