Local optioa Is strictly euforced at Tidl-
oute, not a public barrouui being open. 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,

dictioas regarding Ibelr great novelty and

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.

they ate likely to be classed among the

to looking back and comparing tbe present

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? One gentleman bad bi8
bair cut across bis forehead like tba princee

, Burned to Death.
Curtis Neai aged about seveo years, sou
or John Neai, met witb a terrible accident
ttt his borne, in Greenville, on the 28th, by
which he was burned so badly that deaib
ensued the same day. 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.
An irate editor thus parodies a passage
(rood Longfellow's "Hiawatha:"
Should you ask us why the dunning,
Wby these sad complaints and murmurs,
Murmurs loud about delinquents
Wbo have read Ibis paper weekly,
Read what tbey have not paid tor,
Read with pleasure aod with profit,
Read of church affairs and prospects,
Read Of news both borne and foreigu,
Read Ibe essays aod tbe poems.
Full oj wisdom and instruction;
Should you ask us why this dunning,
We should answer, we should leil you,
From the printer, from the mailer,
From the kind old paper maker,
From tbo mau who taxes letters
Witb a stamp from Uucle Samuel
Uncle bam tbe rowdies call bim,
From them all there comes a message,
Message kind but firmly spoken,
"Please pay us what you owe us,"
Would you lift a burden from us?
Would you drive a spectre from us?
Would you taste a pleasant slumber?
Would you bave a quiet conscience?
Would you read a paper paid for?
Seod us money send us money,
Send us.money send us money,
Seod Ibe mooey that you owe us.

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
