Because we happen to lake our Eliot gun and start out on an afternoon's gunning, it is no reason why person's should inquire if we are on a lour for collecting subscription money. The times are hard, ammunition costs too much money to be wasted on delinquent gubscribtrs just now. The Williamsport G 4 B says: Nearly every exchange that comes to this office has an item stating that 18,000,000 feet of lumber has been rafted out of thr William sport boom this season. The item is all right as far as it goes, but it is only 167, 709,110 feet short of the truth. The exact amount of lumber rafted nut of the boom this sensou was 185,768.919 feet, an in c ease of 5,034,537 over tbe operations of 1874. Oil Wkli Fibb. Wt learn that on Wed nesday even.ng, the 23th, the gas took fire at Mr. Hagne's njw weil east of Shelield. on the P. & E. Railroad, seriously burning the drillier and MoNrir, of Sheffield. It appears tbey had just struct new vein of gas and some oil. People were consider, bly excited in anticipation of a big well. Mr. McSair, as we bear it, went near tbe well with a lighted lantern before the dril !er saw him. Of course the gas took fire in the shanty and well. The ejplosioa threw the driller several feet burniug him and Mr. MoNair badly and shaking up things in a lively manner in all directions. On Thursday the gas in tbe well was still burn ing throwing a flame fifty or sixty feet into the air. It ws probably some such an ex plosion a occurred on Oil Creek many years ago when Mr. Bouse and others lost lb sir lives. iSfcLlf.CT MUMCAL AND LltCitAHT Kntbrta:nmknt. William H Mo- Colliu.

The following are the points ufiirmed. 1. If a National Bank takes more than legal interest, it forfeits the en tire interest. 2. Usurious interest taken by a National Bank may be delaulted against the amount sued for by the bank. 3. The Pennsylvania act of Assem bly which limits the time in which usurious interest may be recovered back to six months does not apply to trasac tions with National Banks. Once in a while ire gel an encourag ing item ab'JUt business. A Boston paper says that the head of the largest dry goods jobbing firm in that city, who on Tuesday morning received re turns from five of the lergest western states, reports that in all these states the jobbers and retailers are doin? a larger and better business than during any previous year since the close of the war Referring to his own businets, he re marked that out ot four thousand regu lar accounts scattered all over the United States, not one since the first of luly has failed, suspended or asked for an extension.

The law sf tho Bail Some one, who has taken the trouble to post himself on the law governing railroad passenger travel, gays that extra charges for failures to buy tickets are universally sustained by the courts, bu there must be a full oppotunity to buy afforded by the ticket seller. Passi-n uers mdst show tickets when asked for As to stopping off, there is only one de cisiou, which is that a passenger cannot stop off, aud resumo his journey, with out the previous assent ol" (be company. As to the obligation of the road to furnish a seat to a passenger, a decision say: ''A passenger who exhibits his ticket need not surrender it uutil he has been furnished with a scat." A railroad is not liable lor Ihiuns sto'crt out of a passenger's scat, (here being no previous delivery to the company's ser vaots; for the same reason tlm compauy is not liable tor baggage iu the paison ger'a own care. Passeugers who neg lect to look alter their own baggage on artival at their destination caouot re cover it if it is lost without fault of the carrier. Baggage left in station houses lor the oass mirer's convenience, after it bus reached its destination, comes uu der a new class of rights and duties, the baggage masters assuming the position ot a gratuitous bailee, who only becomes li able in cases of gross negligence. The ob ligation of tho railroad as carrier ceases wheu it bas delivered to its owner al the place of destination, or when bo has had reasonable opportunity of reoeiving and removing it. It will interest sports men to know tbat they recover tor the value of dogs when they intrust them to baggage master for hire because ot their exclusion from the passenger ears Orryoitig friend Arlner U. uiuls, Has returned front his trip to the Ealt, and we are glad to sola, very much improved la health.

'Old Lake Erie" is probably the most civilised and tempestuous fresh sea in the world. Its waters lave lour great American States, viz, Pennsylva nia, New York, Uhio and .Michigan, three "of which are sequently the most wealthy and populous. It Crops further south than aoj lake of (he St. Lawrence chain, yet ktrange to say, is five hundred and sixty. five feet above the sea. It . covers ao area nearly five times greater than the iStaie of iJelaware. aud nearly as ereat as Maryland; it it the shallowest ot the great lakes having three terraces ol deprh, reapeetivtly thirty, sixty, aod nne hundred and tweuty leet ol mean depth, and be inn shallow, is Jacgeious lot heavy wiuds. I he American shore is made ot l'ort ige shales and erey sandstone. Al Clevrlaud the shores are one hundred and tin eo teet hiuh. The lake is gen erally called, and we believed correctly. to be two hundred aud lorty miles long by forty miles wide, and one-third of a thousand teet above the surlaee of Lake Ontario. This lake is of snvape obluseness; and with the exception ot Eric, Huffaio iind'Clevelaiid, it has no harbor ol much cotisequenco. and receives no considerable rivers; so it is surrounded by railroads, which do the best busi ness wheu it is frozen last, trotu Ie- ccmbet to April.
