one of Ibe largest and most attentive audi
ences entertained tbis season. We saw
Sherry at the door as we passed in, all
smiles, and delighted tbat be bad given us

he shook our band, be requoated us to take
a look at that crowd, remarking that it put
him in mind of "old time's rocks. ' He in

As I drift along life's Bea,
While the shadows of the twilight o'er t

V
t'ompsitiy.
Tao Tilusville Courier bos the tollowing
in regard to the proposed new pipe lino
lrom the Butler oil Ueid to Titusviiie. It
is understood that a relay station will bo
established at this point. The liue will un
doubtedly prove n success:
This new Company, which, for the past
week or two, has bten in the process ol or
gunizitiou, has at length become a settled
fact, and we ate now prepared to give to
the public a comprehensive deccriptiuu of
its character and purpose.
t'l'bo capital stuck of the Company con
sidts of 2,500 shares of $100 each, amount
log to $250,U00. The whole amount bus
been subscribed, except $13,000, and is
held principally by the Tilusville refiueis
The headquarters of the company will be iu
ibis city. Surveys of the route are now
going forward between Tilusville and the
lower oil disiriat. Forty-Ova miles cf the
three iucb pipe Tor Ibe main line bave al
ready been contracted for, the delivery of
which will commence lu a lew days. Start
I iij; from Tilusville the Trunk Line will run
diiectly to Oil City, thence to Fuxburg utid
thence to the great nil fields ol Butler cotiu
ty, and ol course lapping all the producing
districts through which it paeses and
branches of pipe will be laid directly to
the wells everywhere for loading the main
line.
Relay stations will be established eight
miles apart. Al each ol theso a pump oj
ample capacity aud power will be used iu
sending forward the ail. Sullicient tanks
will also be built. The policy ol the com
pany it will be seen ia to connect with all
tbe best producing districts ol the region.
W ben it is considered tbat tbeoil will be
brought from the wells through a single
continuous line and delivered to tbe re 11 tie
ries, there cau bo little duubt that the
BCheuiH.if properly managed,will yield large
profits to the stckhoiders

Ave per cent. At the end of next year the
twelve hogsheads tbua replenished will
bave cost 4,218,500,000 tbalera, giving an
average of 244,232 tbalers per bottle. The
housheads are not, however, all of tbe same
value. Thoy are filled up on a system by

of these two fields being cut off, tbe wells
would gradually dwiudle down to tbe onlln
ary avenue pumping capacity ol other ter

bring the total daily production of tbe re
