eomoeoui in a long article, entitled, '.'Mr.
& T. Culver's Soseme ," rakes na his f Cut
vet's) paat history, and over kis shoulders
edmlolaters a severe lashing to tha Petro
leum Producer's Counolt. Tba article has
lbs appearand af being written In the In
eraai ana to advaooe tba oaues of tba Re.
Boers Combination as agalasl tba prod a
cars, and among tha operators la Ibis Dle
trlolaod Iboeasnrraunding Is believed to
have beeo dictated by Iba Combination.
Let us look at the points of tha article.
too retroieuta Producer's Council to tha
number of forty or fljiy, and representee
every district lu the region, has been In se.e
aloa at Oil City for nearly three weeks, and
after a good deal of labor and pains on tbe
n ot tbe members, of which, be It remem
srd, Mr. Culveriwas only one, hsve per
fected a plan valoo If suocssafully carried
ool will torarer rid tbe oil ragioo of rings
aal aombiaatlons like the South Improve
ment swindle was and what tbe Refiner's
Combloatloa Is or will prove to be, uoleii
headed off by the producers.
.WllbalMblaio view, the Herald comes
aal sod pronounces the plao lo have been
arlglaaled solely by .Mr. Culver, and seeks
la sobslaailale lis oharge by raking op Mi.
Culver's past history la a very shabby mane
atr, ottbjsotwbleb bat nothing whatever
to do with tha Issues of to day, and whlob
laofaalalsresltoaay person. If tbly is
aolaa open Insult to Iba other msmbers of

WllaMr. Culvsr's past history wa are
""" wsU aooualaled, aa wa presume many In
Iba regioa are, nut what ku that to do with
Iba Petroleum Producer's Agency. We era
assured by the delegates from our Dlstrlot
thai tha plao was anl originated by Mr.
Culver, ana that ha had ao more to do with
II than toy of the ethsr delegates, but that
all teak part lo getting H up.
Tha whole artiola savors strongly of a
aav plao la dlsorgtolcs the producers, and
It H to looked npoa by Iba produoers, the

A letter from Wooster, Ohio, to the CIo-
elooatl Times and CbrooJela eooleint tha
following: Tba Weotter lliolog -Asiocle-lloo
wee organize lo this city about two
months ago, Sloea thro tba company has
been busily at work on tbe farm of a Mr.
Elcher, two miles wait of town, botlog for
oil. Fifty-two years ago a we 1 was sunk
on Ihk'ferm, near wbare tba reseol e m
peny has been boring, In tba tops of eeour
Ing salt In this tbey only partially suc
ceeded, tba Wrll not yielding enough of tba
saline fluid to encourage (be projectors. A
fastjipoiiiit of oil, however, oime Irom the
wall, .but ii worth waa not then known,
and tbe Uc was abandoned. On last
Friday" the company who are dinging tbe
present well leached a depth ol 1S2 fee',
struck a white sand rock, through which
Ihey penetrated about 20 leet, and on Moo
day last, when at a depth of 1C7 leet,
heavy volnme of gas Came boiling forti.
Tba gas steadily iocreased aa tba hole gets
deeper, and it burns read fly. Yesterday
tba boring was through a coarse, heavy
ssod, and then iq aard, blue slate stone,
in which were strong indications ol oosl.
Wooster Is jubilant over the prospeot of be
oomlng a petroleum center.
We aod
lentron of a
tbe following complimentary
mention of several ol our amateur singers,
who ssalsled at a concert in Rouseville a
nlgbt or two since, In the Penney Ivaoian:
The volunteer performere Irom abaead
contributed greatly lo tha enjoymente of tbe
evening aod the pleasure which tbe aud-
lenoe nwnitested whenever tbey appeared
upon tba ataga Is evidence that their kind
ness was as much appreciated aa were their
effdrte.
Tbe solos aod vocal duets by Mrs. Car
man and Miss Hendorsoo were sweetly and
simply rendered, and we went no more
pure aod pathetic mnslo than Is afforded by
tbulr harmoulous voiore; and the quartette
club, ol which tbey are mnmbere. are as
lured that their songs are the '-Songs that
we never forget. "
Xr. Waddel 's solos were also beautiful
ly aung, and called forth unmistakable ex
preiilona ot the pleaiure tbey gave tbe aud
ience. But where all did so well It seems
almost unfair to refer lo tbe efforts ot any
In particular. All sre deserving, and all
have tba thanks of their gratified aud
ience. The once fatnuus lion lamer, Herr Drln
bach, la now residing at Worcester, Ohio.
Hia settlement tbere la the mult ol a loveJ

thereafter tbey were merrled. lie contin
ued to travel, she accompanying blm, until
about seven yeara sgo, when ha reoonnced

the road again. Being unfortunate In bis

refused to bait, tba guard Bred and the

ted whether the soldier aball bo tried by tbe
military law or by tbo elvil law. Tbe Ore
goo Bu Hello says If the soldier Is tried by
the military law it will amount to nothing
as ho bnl earried out tba orders of his supe

Halloween. is at band the Slsl of Oeto
ber. It will scarcely bo recognised noder
Its proper name. Many speak ot it as
"Hollow Eve," a eurlous mispronunciation.
Tbua spoken, one would suppose tbo word
"hollow" was an Important part of tbe
name. Tbe evening ia anything but "hol
low," or empty, aloce what with oott and
fruits snd yells, neither air, month or itom
aca la empty. Tbe.boya aeem lo think Ibel
"Eve" is in some way connected with this
date. "Hollow Ere" and "Hollow Adam"
are regular call and response. Io thlt con
nection, "Hollow" means to shout or Call;
and "Hollow Eve!" io an imporatlve com
mind to scream the name of Father Adam's
curious spouse, our venerable mother, ol
the top' of Ihe voice. "Hollow" la here a
mispronunciation ol "hallow,' like that by
wbicb the good brother justified his loud
voce la praying, eatablisbing his position
with the unanswerable argument "Does
not tbe Bible say, 'Hollered bo Thy
Namt. "
Halloween la not of modern dale. All
Saints' day is a festival ot Ihe Komisb
church. It was impossible lo keep a separ
aie day for every saint worthy a place lo
tbe caleudar. la tbe fomlh culury Ihe
Greek church, bad appointed a day far
ouminemorating the martyra generally.
About tba year ICO a similar festival wss
idlroduced al Rome. Tbo real festival ol
All Saluts was regularly Instituted by Pops
Gregory IV., lo 835, aud appointed lo ho
celebaoted on the 1st of November. This
day was doubtless cboseo io 'order thai oo
old baatheo festival wbleb fell on that diff
might be supplanted by Christian observan
ces. The name Halloween, or hallowed
eveoiog, was gived to Ibe eveolog proceed'
log Ibe 1st of November when tbo vigil or
watch waa held lor tbe beuitiog celebration
of All-Hallows or All-Salute' Day.
Ih anoient times, Ibis eveolog wat made
Ibe occasion of many amusing and supers'
titiout pi edicts. All-Hallow Era wat
thought to be a oigbt wbeo witchesladevils,
aod other mlichlef-maklng beings, are all
abroad on Ibetr baneful midnight missions;
psrticularly those serial people, tbe Fairies,
are said oo that oigbt to hold a grand an
olveraary. Burns tells as, in bit owo
matchless msooer, how io Bonnie Scotland,
"Some merry, friendly contra folka
Together did convene
To buro their alts and pout their tookt.
And land J their Holloween
Fu' bliibe that night."
("Nuts; null. yHold.)
Most ol the eustoms to wblch bo rotors
and wtiob grew out of tbe general belief lo
witches, fairies, c, have fallen Into dis
guise. Unhappily, however, "other mis
chief making beings" do yet exist, aod the
31st of October is used lor developing o
soirit rowdyism aod incipient Vandalism lo
Young Ameriea, which can scarcely. be
gained upon Ibe usages of other times.
