Gold at 1 p. m. 116 By a dispatch from Tltusvtlle we laero that a new well no tbe Pieice farm, owned by Columbia fata parties, was completed yesterday add In making a floe show. Will probably prove a seventyfive barrel well. Our townameo, Messrs. Woo.ls, Irwin and Edbert, have a leaae adjoining thla well and wHI aooa eoameneo drilling another well. Although they have drilled three welli to far which bave tinned out dry boles, Ibey do not appear to be discouraged but pound away evldeully believing that (be chance to atrllne a new well so old territory la full aa good aa la the Butler oil field. Toe present prospect are that Oil Creek territory will outlive aU the rest So mote It be. For Some time mat thia tnarn ha a..' been favored with the presence of any trav eling troupes, which la mainly due lo the leiaeee of the Titusvllle Opera House. We .are Informed the agent of that ball upon so ioqnlry ef tbe agent of a traveling company as to what thia place ond Rousevllle was as to the show business, talormed him that aa one lived la either town and there waa no use coming to either place.. If they Intend by such a oourse to induce the people of tbe . down oreek country to atleud shows at ibut ptaoe Ibey wHI be mistaken. There 'are several good people lo the oil country, among whom we may mention our friend, Ambrose weaver, th popular msn aserofthe grocery store oa Main street.f opposite Ihe Junk. He is always ready to attend to tbe wants ef customers, "which the ssree we will ever maintain." Today is a genuine March tU). Colt', dreaiv, desolate, and ditto.

Not h Ing cau lie 'ien lu thit ppr uow-a-days except I, Little You." Th e Derrick man koons fur a fact that we took no part whatever no the local option question ex orpt so tir ai lo statu that iu our opinion should t.'m county go sanlust license il would bo an injury to tbe business interests of this pUce, and that opinion we bolt) still. In the matter of circulation tbe Der rick has the best of us from Ibe fee: that Oil City is Id Coinplanter township. Leave that village out and give us the bene fit of what ciicuiatipn we tmvetiu Cherry- tree, Oakland, Oil Creek aud Allegheny townships, and we Iodine to the opinion ther about as many reople read tbe Rkcoru la this sectloo as :ue Immaculate Derrick. Aod lastly, tbe Derrick has fearlally gar bled lbs item made by ns, as no allusion wtateter was mode to Coinplunter Town ship, the Item only relatlug tobu vole on lojal option in uil Uity, whereas that pa per seeks to lead the public to believe tbe item relatee to Cornplauter Township. Tell us bow much yoevgot from tbe temperaoco Interest, and If what report says is,.) rue, you cito afford to stand the ' "blue ruin'' for the whole crowd. From all double dealing deliver us henceforth aod forever. Self es teem Is a good thing outside of tbe news paper trade, but when a whole paper is taken up wilb puffing Itself, It savors etroun ly as if they needed a little support from tbe public. Just a Littlc Bit Soft. There ere a ceitnin class otcitiEms In the city of Ti tusvllle that never let aa opportunity p to make tbemselveslbe laughing stock ol the entire oil regions. It has beea but a abort time ainoe they wfre Irantlo over the antics of one Lydia Thompson, when noth ing would do but she must be honored by the citizens with a present o a "gold der sick." No doubt tbe donors were laughed at by the gay Lydia, and the derrick long since pawned fur a chignon. Upon various other occasions they have shown their vrir gin by raukiog consummate asses of tbem. selves in conferring honors upon travelling mountebanks, and not being satisfied with the "flatulency ' of the past, they bave stuck auother grnn h'ih In their hats by electing "little Nell," the perlputic aclresci of whom we have read se many distressing things about, nn honorary member, save ur, of tbe Bloss Iluse Compaoy. Ohl Bloss Huse Boys, riag Ibe bell. For il is plain, and co Id seen, That you atesofi on "Little Neil," Aa she rides up on your maeblue. Aud wilb all duo respoct we wait anx' ously to see who comes next, and in the meantime will state that Ihe city of Tiliu ville it evea now kuown among all trave'- Ing showmen as the "buckwheat City," aod that is why "this is thus." We hear of a donation parly in an ad joining town, to a very worthy parson where Ihe young folks "Danced all night till broad daylight, Aod went borne with ihe girls in the morn Ing." come oi me oiaer memoers a ra not op prove of'bedaualng at least they thought they should have waited until the more ormoaox oau retired, nut tbe youngsters djdn't look at it altogether in the same light tbry hadn't come there exclusively for the benefit of tbe Churcb, uot for jo. In fact they had come aud apeat their moot ey partly for their own enjoyment, and ex pocted to kill two biids with one atooe, it may bo three or lour or half a dog -a, viz: Have some fun, Till their belllts, do ther courting, shake theiT i-hins and serve the Lord, all at a single jerk. Well, well, v. think there Is no barm done, and that all should be, and probably are, very well sal lulled. If the Lord's people choose todaoce juha occasionally lo tbe euuod ofa.Sddle, or sinners desire to take an occasional jl lo "the harp of a thousand strings," what's the difference, so long as ibey. are oomfarta ble, aod cocflne tbelr amusements within the pale of propileiy ?
