Speaking ul i he failure of tba Lambing
Brotheil protnioeot oil operators ol the
lower district, the Petersburg Progress
ssys:
It Is said, ss stated la I ait lime, that the
Messrs. Lambing Bros., of Parker's Land
ing, bad been loroed, ar that ao attempt
was being mads to force them, Is to bank
rtiptcy, oo the application of James E.
Brown, of-EiltsDOing. It seems that lbs
Lsmblngs have been carrying on tbetr op
eraljohs with bis asslstsnoe tor tba psst twj
years, and Ibat Ibey run into blm to Ibe ex
tent of ovar $50,000 Tba many dry bole?
which they drilled during Ibe past spring,
has swallowed up their owo capital, and
left them la tba lureh to lbs amount stated.
Almost all tbe hardware men ia the lower
countries suffer heavily Id amounts from
$600 to $10,000: It Is believed by many
ot their friends Ibat Ibsy msy get on their
leet again if they are not pushed too bard
by their creditors. . Tba failure of Lambing
Bros., was well knowb la financial circles
quite a while .ago, indeed the Parker men
have almost all baea aware of it. Grea1
surprise is manifested that James E. Drown
should be sojbeavy loser by Ibis failure, a,
bo is well known to be tbe veriest old skin
flint lo all chrlstsndom, and is willing t0
shave a not to take a mite from a widow,
or skin a louse for its bide and tallow. 1 1
la believed that all tba properly of the dr
funot Arm will be assigned to .James E
Brown, thus leaving tbe rest of (be creditors
to look out for themselves. It would ap

gods vac seek to tula ber than was ber an.

took to govern by prestige of tbe Grecian
arms. It Is a bard lcassn, notwltb standing
which It is fortunate for the oil business,
and for every Individual producer la tbe re

A, destructive typbooo visited Am

Considerable excitement was occasioned
at Atleinagoozelnm City, on Saturday last,
oy an engineer at one of tbe Wallace wells

bad bsen drinking to ezaess lately, and
when the fit came ongotont la tba middle
of tbe road and with dreadlul oaths and
foul language, threatened the lives of pass

There was a sensation at Columbia farm,
Saturday evening. A little daughter of Mr.
Markbam, who bad been out hunting the
cows, came running borne out of breath and
badly Irlgbteued, stating she bad seen a
skeleton in tbe woods. Tbe father started
out to see If there was anything la the
child's story, but could discover nothing,
tba little one beleg so badly seared that it
could not locate the place.

The Richmond Enquirer, for example'

Gen. Thomas, in 1SCJ, uses the following
language:
lie was killed, far in advance of his com
msnd, while gallantly leading an assault
upon our lines. Ilia horse bore bis corpse

known that tbe author of tbe rare poem, as
familiar and as greatly . admired south as
north, '-I urn dying, Egypt, dylug," lay
dead la the camp, officers and men crowded
around to tako a a last look at the face ol
tbe poet soldier who had achieved so great
a literary triumph. There was no rejoicing
over the doatb of this lullea e--,emy; bu'
there was in truth something on each sol
dier's cheek that for the moment washed
away tbe stains of powder.

Miss Jones' oountry cousia from Cherry

bad been tbe sorest trial of ber life to

menoed to play a classioal piece of Richards

laudatory remarks demanded by "soolety
Miss Jones, surprised and chagrined at tbe
Indifference or ber cousio, was going to

It is a fortunate thing for the soap mines
of Butler county that tbey have an Indus
trious sheriff. From parties who have just
returned from that "glory bole," we are In
formed that that official has gone into a
new business, viz: paper banging. It is
said that be bas so much business on bands
that be is compelled to employ Ave deputies
to assist him, and It is remarkable Ibat tbey
not only decorate tbe homes of tbe wealthy
and ibe hamlets of the lazy, but they go so
far as to plaster derricks, engine buuses, Ac
witb their band-bills. And not only this,
but It is said tbst tbe sheriff has already
oomtnenoed lo line-the well-holes with his
well known artistic skill. The only trouble
is that every building, rig or hole Is paper
ed alike, stating that the sheriff, (that
mighty man) Is going to do so ami so, and
that be will execute tbo premises to suit jo
so. Uh! It is a uoworigni SDnme, ine
the way that man bas b.jeo cutting up, and
it is high time that the operators in the
First district were taking the matter In
their nwu bands cr the Sheriff will have al
(bat tbey now own beside "executing tbe
premises." In this connection we may te
mark that Sheriff Johnson, ot this county

AN ACT OF CRUELTY
Cospped bands and face are tbe most se
rious annoyanoes tbat larmers, and people
who labor much onl ol doors, experience
from exposture. Exposed perions, espeel
ally children, repeatedly suffer Intensely
from great cracks upon the bands, tbat of
ten bleed. It Is oruel to allow one's self or
others lo suffer la tbls way, when the means
of posltiqe prevention are so easy to be bsd,
and so cheaply, as to pay ten cents for a
cake of lland.Sepolio. Hand Sapollo is not
only better than tbe costliest soap lor re
moviogdlrt, but it prevents obapping, and
renders tbe skla soft and pliable. Sold
