A friend of ours, residing at Rousovllle, paid that thriving burgh a visit a day or two t since. The day being extremely warm, af ter the transaction of bis busiuess, tie be thought bimjeir that a "wee drop of Ibe craylbur'' would do him good. According ly he entered a building that bad tba ap pearance of a barroom as it looked la other aud happier days, and Inquired of tbe pro prietor "AVbat do you sell!" ."Lemou ude," was the reply.'' Tbe lemonade was uiixfd up and drank, our Irieod remarking to himself that the flavor was very peculiar, lie passed further along the street and en tered another place aod made the same inquiry. Tbe man answered "Lemonade, bow will you have it, tall or short?'' Our Irieud coucluded to have it tail," and again noticed tbe same ilavur but supposed it to arise Iroro tbe lemons. lie walked a short dlutauoo further and to tbe same question tbe proprietor anewored "Lemonade, how will you have it, high or low I" He con cluded to take it "low." By this time tbe rrain was ueajly due and be conoluded to leave a placa'whero nothing etronger than lemonade could be had. lie confesses, however, to experiencing a queer sensation about Ibe bead on tba homeward trip. High, low, jack, and tail abort lemonade is ttio latest name for local option.) ' The glorious fourth was celebrated la ex cellent shape, at Tionesta. Tbe Forest Press says: Among other Incidents ol the glorious 4th, a bottle of whisky was found suspended by a string from a henflbek a aboil distaoos up the creek, with the follow log note attached: Take II, some of you fellows who bap pen along on bill, where I oao get all J waut, and you're all welcome to It boys, od Muss you all boys Pve 2 more bottles io my pocket boys," t Wouder if It wasn't onr friend Pete that fotiud that bottre. How Is it and was It tbe genulno "good old stulT'! Our young friend aud lellow workman, Will. J. L. Keller, leaves for a short pleat, tiro trip to his native place, Philadelphia, this evening. Billy has been In our employ for a long time past, and we have always found him a most taitbful and ready band We wish him a pleasant trip and a safe and speedy return. In a lew weeks tbe tall aod winter fash, ions will be auuounced. The usual pre- dictioas regarding Ibelr great novelty and ueauiy are muae, sou restisonsltles are on the qui vivo. Tbe buckwheat portion or the nil region appear to have a boly horror of our tbriv lug oil towns, imagining the population to be mainly composed ol cutthroats aud dee P'radoes of tin) wont character. A ca?e in point. Lariy this morning ouo of these aged pilgrims hi tived In town with a load ol rod raspberries, which be huckstered away to our ciliz'os at good prices. Tak log the entire proceeds, with the exception ol $1,25, be pluutid them lu tbe bunds ol a n acquaiutauoe fur safe kuoping, remark log, "Tbal he'd be Raul durued if this town c ud getaway witb bis stamps," casting an allu sion to all we suppose. Iio took Ibe $1,25 and started out io see tbe sights. As a matter ol conisu Petroleum Centre is not exempt from llmse "places of pleasure," aud our buckwheat friend succumbed to the blandishments of one English Jenn!e,at which place be quickly "dropped" tbat $1,25. And now comes tbe sequel. Tbe last seen of this individual be bad drawn the balance of tbe money aud started for the lava beds again. The chances are that the "glare of the red light" will cause bim to regret ere to-morrow's sunset, and uo doubtediy there will be mourning in that buckwheat borne over the disappearance of the proceeds of tbe sale of those raspberries. Lurd Oil and Kerosene l II uvu uiuu npfjiuawu uo -oa lu " uivu they ate likely to be classed among the oldest inhabitants, tbey are naturally given to looking back and comparing tbe present with the past. One of tbe men who are constantly looking, reminded us, lately, of tbe difference between tbe present and tbe days when Lard Oil and Sporm Oil formed tbe staple oleaginous supply. "Then" Bald be, "you paid a dollar or a dollar and a dollar and a quarter for a gallon of lard oil; now, crtiie petroleum is golog begging for buyers In this market at five cents a gallon.'' Contrary to tbe usual inclination in such cases, our friend seemed to think tbe pres ent bad tbe advantage over tbe past, in tbat iHslauce, so far, at least, as consumerB are concerned. lie expressed Do idea as to the effect of tbe reminiscence on tbe miuds nf lha nrmlileAra ftf nntrnlpnm rrnmm... oiai, w. - r I i . . j, A Nkw Well. We are glad to learn that a splendid well has been struck on tbe Say larm, near Martlnsburg. The nit was reached on Tuesday of last week, and sioce being tubed is doing 80 barrels a day. 1 1 is owned by Capt. John Wolf, Jas. E Brown and E. S. Golden. Tills opeos an entire new fleld for development. East Brady Independent. Oil Matters. During the last few weeks oil bas been down to a lower figure tbao lor several years. Last week tbe price at Oil City was $1,90 per bairel aod $1,75 at Parker. Deducting tbe cost Of ruaiilog through tbe pipe, the price pro. dnoers.reccived at the wells was only aboi," $1,00 per.Darrui. mis wees prices a mile higher. UD Tuesday at Ull Oily It was $2,05, and at Parker $1,87. Tbe large wells in Butler county are running down rapidly, and tbe most of the new wells drilled at tbat end of tbe belt have proved d'y holes. Produoers throughout tbe re gion are bard up, and .compelled to soli their oil as fast as it is produced: in order to pay expenses. New developments are not being pushed vigorously, and the pro-peots are tbat oil w.lll sofla command a bigber prise. As we have often asserted bowever, producers will never get ft fair price for crude oil, until they erect reiinerieB io tbe oil regions. Clarion Democrat. An amusing incident occurred recently at a rural school. Tbe subject was tbe history of Samson, and tbe question, "What fool ish thing did Samson once do?" Expects tioo was on tip-toe to ascertain bis peculiar weakoess, when from a frout seat came tbe reply, given with solemn preoiseness and Irresistably ludicrous accent: "He went down among tbe Philistines and got a wile!" . Iu noticing the bead dresses at a recent party io Paris, a correspondent writes tbat : "One handsome person entered with ber hair piled so high and In such disorder tbat she brought to our mind tbe negres'ses io the mountains of Cuba, who carry purse, needles, pins, thimble, scissors, and jack- tUfe sluded io their wool. Aoother bad ber balr so tightly drawn over a cushion that she seemed in immiuent adauger of falling over backward! What will be tbe next fashion, 1 wonder?

It appears that be bad started a fire Io a Utile lurnace in tbe garden, and the flames not progressing as rapidly as desired, he look a can of kerc sene oil and attempted to pour some of the fluid on the fire, when an explosion took place, the burning oil being scattered all over bis person. He was instantly envel oped In flames and in this condition ran screaming around the house till caught and wrapped in a quilt by two neighbor women, who beard tbe explosion and came to tbe rescue. Tbe flames were extinguished but not until bis clothing was literally burned off him, and three-lourtbs of tbe surface of bis body terribly burned. He lingered in extreme agony until evening, - when death put an end to bis surTeriugs.

In tbe above case we do not know or say which party was at fault; but the custom or taking and holding forcible possesion of property, throughout Butler county, is becoming far too oommon, and tbe oivil authorities should put a stop to the system at tbe earliest day possible.

VICINITY OF CAtnVIKW. A Veil was struck on the McCafferty farm ne.r F ilrview last week whloh Is reported t 75 Barrels. The Backs and Gaily well, nn the Banks farm, between Petrolla and Karna City, owoed by Banks and Galley, started to pump on Saturday last and is doing 75 bar rels per day. The Coultor and Frotbmgham, . No 2, on the Banks farm, commenced to pomp last Friday and is good for 75 barrels per day. The owners are Culler Bro's and Frothing bam. A well which was completed on land o Robert Fowler, adjoining tbe borough ol l'airview on the East side, started up at tbe rale or about 100 barrels per day on Wed" uesday of last week. Fowler, Mitobeil and others are Ibe fortunate owners. A strike was made on the Riddle farm, last Saturday a week which started to flow at tbe rate ol 300 barrels per day.

McCafferty larm on the 2nd of July, and ten days thereafter it was yielding oil at tbe rate ol about 200 barrels per day. Tbls well was sunk by Griewell Brothers, aod baa been sold to Reed aud others for $18,000. It always seemed lo us that Ibe McCafferty farm was too handsome a piec" of property to be spoiled for agricultural purposes by sinking oil wells thereon; but new tbat hostilities bave been commenced sod a large well struck, every Held on tbe plantation will doubtless be thrown open and drilled over before many years.
