last, might have been seen a young couple,
who rumor says are shortly lo be mariied,
wending tbelr way from one of our town
Churches. Wben passing our reporter they
appeared to be in deep and aoiinatod con
versation, which cauted him lo keep at h
reebeoUhle distance in tbe rear of the said
loqing couple, (we, judge from what we
law.) After prooeediog about a quarter oj
mile towards tbe Egbort frrm, be was
suddenly startled by a shrill cty of "Step,
Jobn, slop!" sod rtisbibg lo lha rescue, be
dually saw. John lift up bis arms aud
throw them around tho yonng lady a U
kins, kiss, kiss her ruby lip, until all w.'S
quiet and lerene onco more, and Ibe pele
silver moon and bright gleaming slara woie
tho only witnessos of the scene, our icpor'et
having (led la alarm at the sou ad of Ibe
first smack, thinking it a premonitory sln
of a nitroglycerine rxplokion.
Our item of Tuetdvrela'.lve to the com
mencement of greding on trie Egbert I cm
for Ibe Titutvllle & Fmnkliu Efllroart, h,s,
it appeals, stined up tbe Wan en & Ve.r .
go Railroad officials. This forenoon Coief
Kngineer Gordon and Eoad Muster O'Briau,
ol that road, arrived iu town lor the purpos
of investigating into the matter. Evjdeut
ly tbey considered tbe story a canard, lint
a visit to the point wtioro tho grading is be
ing done, and a call ou Superintendent
Paisl, of tbe Maplo Shade Oil Company,
ooo convinced them tbeia was trutii in tbe
matter. Engineer Uotdoo states that tbe
Warren fc Vonungo Railroad is bound to be
put tbrougb to Oil City as soon as the in
junction placed upon it by Ibe Oil Creek
road Is dissolved, which will not be long
The reason for breaking ground for the Cul
ver road ou tbe Egbert farm, is understood
to be for tbe purpose of boldiug tbo charter
of tbe road which wbuld expire this week
The Warier) & Venango Kuilioad have f
t gbt of way over the Egbert farm, and the
Titusville & Franklin Railroad alto claim
ing tbe right. Mr. Paist preferred to allow
the men to go to work and lot the compa
nies liijht it out iu their OA-n fashlou. We
might add tbat the popular sentiment is
with the Warren & Veuaugo Railroad on
this question. , y
f Our frleud Conver, ol tbe Forest Press,
gives Ibe following recipe Tor making elder
berry wine:
Buy a quart of best rye whlskey.and then
start alter your berries. Buy more whisky,
and add plenty of sugar lo the juice when
you keg It. Tlieu when you draw tbe wine
leave ibe spigot open, aud it will all ruu
over the floor. That's the way wo mode
our last elderberry wine, lint tastes dilfor.
Some prefer a litllo more wblslty und loss
sugar, and others again don't like so much
sugar am! want a larger proportluu of whls-
' ky. Next issue we'll givo Bnotber.

By a special dispatch to lhe Oil Cny Dr

Are yesterday moruiug. We givu the dis
patob below:
Tins morning between tbroe and fuir
o'clock lire was discovered lining from th
basement ol a building owned and occupied
by J. C. Pattorson as a grocery store.
When tho flames weie diecoveoed they were
beyond coa'rol, und those living in tho
bouse had scarcely time to save tburmelvee.
The alarm was givcu all along the street, bu
owing lo the early hour tbo people were
slow to get out. A number ol persons bud
narrow escapes from the flte.
The flames communicated to the ippoB ita
Side of tbe street and it was found utterly
impossible lo check them until the 'lira bud
reached a point on either side, wore there
was a IIUlo open spaoa. At 1:113 junction
tbe timely arrival of tho Bonner Ilo:o com
pany from St. Petersburg suved the luwor
portioned' the town. Messengers had been
sent (or the company, nnd tbry were on tire
ground within uu hour alter tho (Ho broke
out, so rapidly bad they moved. Tnuy
rendered most valuable service.
The eoliroloss will oa Iwonlyoifeh'
thousand dulliis on which there Is an in.
siuance of about six thousand. Tbo number
of buildings destroyed was lorty.
Tho fire is supposed to have been the
work of an Inoindiary. A horse waj tto leu
Irorn a stable near by, aud other circumstan
ces tend lo confirm the suspicion. An at
tempt waB also made to lira Richmond, but
it was discovered la soason to prevent lis
execution.

aud continues pumping largely, while the

huwing a complete tap, and, ro far,, mat
