Orft Union' School. Notwithstanding
the dullness uf the limes and the removal, ol
many families fiom town, our Uoiou School
Is crowded from cellar to garret, The
rooms are crowded aod our ''little people '
are put Into all corners of the room that can
be found for' Ibora. The average attend
ance is about 180 in all three rooms, and
as a matter ol course the teachers bave their
bands lull. Under the able management of
l'rof. Alcorn, the school la in a moat pros
parous condition and rapidly increasing in
lumbers and "prosperity. The Board ol
Education of Coroplaoter Towoship are live
and energetic men, and spare neither time
nor paiut to labor Jo behalf of our school in
terests. The Board have secured a good
corps of teachers who are also alive to the
interests of the youog and under their man
agement have brought tbe school up to its
high standard In eduoatlonul matters.
Among the gentlemen composing (be Board
who have labored zealously for the cause ol
education, and especially lor tbe schools in
this eud uf tbe tuwnship, is Mr. J. P. Bar
croft, of Columbia. To him our people are
In a greet measure entitled for the excellence
of our present school system, aod be is cer
laiuly deserving tbe thanks of our citizens
and tax payers for bis efforts In Ibis good
cause.
We bad tbe pleasure this forenoon ot an
introduction lo Mi. Samuel Pbipps, of
Clinton township, this county. Mr. P. is
78 years of age, and for over seventy years
ol that time has resided la Venango county
In 1844 be was elected Sheriff of the county
and served one or two terms. lie baa an
excellent memory and relates with great
accuracy incidents of pioneer bistory that
transpired in this section over fifty years
ago. D bad not visited Oil Creek for
a number of years and as a matter of course,
was somewhat surprised at the changes that
Lad been going on in the meantime. -
As we predicted yesterday, 'tbe election
in passing off very quiotiy to-day. The
vote is "xoeedlngly light, as it undoubtedly
will be throughout tbe township.
Local option is in force for one day only.
Tbe Oilman's Journal of October 10th,
after roviewiog tbe whole lower dlalriot
comments as follows:
The oil market tbis woek has been a lit
tie better, baviug an upward teodeooy.
From present indications at tbe (root we do
Dot anticipate a sudden rise in tbe market,
nor do we look lor another decline just
now. Tbe market is rather firm at the
present price, and will in all probability
remain in tbat condition for some time with
perhaps very light fluctuations. Large
strikes are not so numerous and there is a
gradual falling off in tbe production of the
several districts at tbd front, while but few
new strikes are expected soon; all of which
lo our opinion argues well for tbe future.
Tbe bank and fixtures of tbe Allegheny
Trust and Banking Company, at Oil City,
bave been sold to F. W. Mitchell of Frank-S
tin. Mr. Mitchell will remove bis Rousevilla
bank to Oil City and consolidate it with
tbe other.

Ladies traveling through Canada by rail
are often greatly annoyed by having their
liiugiRO unnecessarily Beached, but ono ot
the officials recently got his deserts It
happened that a Yankee school loachpr on
her way from Kansts to Vermont passed
Ihrougti tbe Dominion, with a trunk pack
ed to bursting with nothing contraband.
When the officer demanded her key, sbo
t.egged him not.to open It, curing him
that It bad c.imo through from Kans, con
tained simply blotheB and books, and was
so full tuat It would be very troublesome to
repack it. But he sternly demanded ihe
key, nnd maliciously pulled everything out
to the "very bottom; then finding her as
srtlons true he returned h-r the key and
advised her to "hurry up and get Ibn traps,
back," as the train would soon rr.ovo.
'What is that to me?'' said the quick wit
ted woman; "I bave a check for that trunk,
and bul l the Grind Trunk Ralllway respon
sible for i s fof t delivery, I will not t I;o tho
key, and you may do as you pleaie with the
trunk." Report says that oBiJial was very
v rary and red In the faco and rather pio
Ijr.e e?e hi flii'hod packing that trunk.

best of bis nbility. ''Coal Oil Johnny," of
Pennsylvania lame. He bas beou making
it very interesting lor the boys, spending
money for their benefit wi'b a prodigal
hand. Ha drinks but little himself, and is
not known to bave b.en intoxicated at uuy

getting druuk as lords at bis expense, so
often as their constitutions will permit.
His delight is to drivo a four-lu-band- aud

Perhaps ibe best instance, however, ot bis

There comes a month In the weary year
A month of leisure ami healthful rest;
When the ripe leaves fall nnd tbo air is

October: the brown, the crisp, the blest.
My life bas little enough of bliss:

Counting the lime that shall le id lo this
The month that opens tbe hunters' hea

And oh! for the mornings crisp anil white.
With tbe sweep of the bound upon tbe
track;
Tbo barkroofed cabin, the ctvtnpfire'e

The break of tbo doer r.n,l iho ride's crack
Do you call this trifling? I tell you friend,
A life In the forest is past ail praise.
Give me dozen such months on oml
You may take my balance of yuars and
days,
Forbrcks and mortar breed filth on 1 crime
And a pu'so ol evil thitt throbs and lieu I;
Aud men go withered before tneir prime
With lliecursu pared in on tbo lauos at.d
streets;
And lungs are choked, and shoulders

In Iho furthering reek of mill and mine
And Death stalks iu on tbe struggliug
crowd,
But be sLuns the shadow of oak aud

And of all to which the memory clings,
Tbero is uaugU so sweet as lbs sunny

Wbero our shanties stood by tha crystal

Tbe vanisui'd bounds, and tbe lucky
