Por.rnR. Oeorira Harktna. a resident fit
the Sk loser Farm, paid Petroleum Centre a
visit day before yesterday, and got on
little jamboree with bold Jobo Barley coro.
Jobo got the start of bltu somewhat and
finally they concluded to take a short tide.
The nest thing to do was to secure a female
woman to accompany them, who was found
In the person of Mrs. Jobo Graham, re
fined and Intellectual My ol color. The
ride was taken and on the return home the
gentle Graham Invited the gay cavailer lu t
her bumble cottage on the banks of peaceful
Oil Creek. George could not witbalaod the
temptation and finally succumbed to the
blandishments of the colored Deidemona,
nd entered the vine olad cot. Once inside
John Barleycorn was freely interviewed by
both, aod then the fun tommenoed and grew
fast and lirlous, aod by the time Constable
Burgess arrived a jolly row was io progress
between the two. "Tbe colored troops
fought nobly," however, and demoralized
the white warrior to tout extent that Le
fell an easy prey to tbe CoiiBtable aod was
taken to tbe lock up, aod subsequently fined
by Jusloie Reynolds. Thus ended a speok
ol war between tbe whites, blacks and John
Barleycorn. $
"Tblrty-eigbt cents!" echoed a woman
yesterday, when ber grocer charted her tbat

without further csraplaiot.

I We fl ml I ii e following oil uews lu tbe
Butler lleruld:
Tbe Daily Ttiitd Smd brings us i lie in
ti'lligrnce that there is udt t well on. the Mo
Clelland farm, near Modoc,., producing over
100 barrels. If this is tbe case, and we do
not doubt it. what is Io nuke up tor this
decrease in production T We all know" that
there is not one new well going dowin now
to twenty lour months ago, and it cannot
be possible that under such circumstances
Ibe production oan be enytlilDg like what it
was some two months ago, even.if we admit,
which we do not, that It tben reached 28,000
barrels dally. The iimi piper says, that
tbe id cond crop of wells promise to be de
cidedly bad for the Investors." Well then
why should oil be kept down at such a low
figure? Speculators wish to get their tanks
full aod then tbe cry will be bend, "great
falling off in the production!"
Angel A Co., obtained a goad well Dear
tbeoldShreve well at Millerslown, last
week. It is said to have produced at first
about 600 barrels. Wbat its ptoduotioo
now Is we cannot say.
Ei-Sberiff Scott's well, oo tbe Michael
Barnbart farm on tbe road from Millerstown
to Btieoa Vista, which was said to be dry,
Is now producing about 400 barrels dally.
Tbe "band Pump" says that Rhodes and
Scott struck a 300 barrel well 'on tbe Stew
art 'arm, and that tbe Iron tanks being
erected by Bradley fc Co., aod Futzer aod
Myers, oo tbe same farm are progressing
rapidly. Tbe "Sand Pump" also gives an
iaccouot of tbe price of lots la Millersiowo
at the time that town was laid off by Philip
Barnbart, ranging from $100 Io $18,00.
But this is nothing. We remember well
when that whole section could have been
bought for $3,00 per acre!
In Ibis section ws bave nothing new In
report. Tbe wells being put down are
making fair "progress, but wbetber with fair
indications or njt, we cannot say. Tbe
low pnoe of oil has, for the lime being at
least, retaided development very much and
this Is in all probability well euougb, foi
speculators may find in another mouth tbat
there is not so muob oil produced as tbey
have Induced community to believe there
as.
A number of bouses are betog taken
dowo at Greece City aod removed to Modoo
end Buena Vista. We are not so certain
but by next spring tbey will be moved back
again. Greeos City has a steady supply ol
oil which, while it io disregarded now by
"last operators," may by and by be more
profitable than otherwise. We will see.
Hotel keepers In some placa In this
oouDty, It is said, ask their guests if they
will bave their rooms "furnished" or "un

bottle with something in It and a class. If
tbe guests will persist In swallowing the
hotel furniture, bow oan tbe landlord help
