Last Thursday, Capt. Paul Boyn lon, whoso swimming exploits have made him famous in this country and Europe, started on a voyage down the Allegheny river from Oil City to Pitts burgh, arriving In the later city Sun day evening, distance 145 miles. The Derrick thus describes Disappearance: A few minutes before eleven Boyn tou appeared, dressed in his India-rubber suit and carrying a paddle. Jiis PDcumuce was that ot a man dressed from head to foot In a water proof, only his face being visible. Several tubes used for inflation reached troiu his waist to his shoulders A bugle was slung at his side, a bottle of liquid sustenance and cigars in oie compart ment completed his outfit. He stepped into a sleigh and was driven rapidly to the rlvir. Without any delay he en tered the water near the old mill above the upper river bridge After stepping in ho lit a cigar, shook hands with the reporters and said good by. Walking out in tho water some distance ho threw himself on his back and at 11:18 his arduous feat of swimming 113 miles was begun. Tho pier marks indicated a del.th of two feet in tho channel, and the Ice was of a slushy nature and not obstructive. Striking at once for tho middle of the stream, the navigator passed under the lirst bridge between the channel piers and kept on his course down the river feet foremost, pi ving his paddle vigorously scoring the first mile in i minutes. 1 1 Personal Notes, Mrs. L.

Legislative Sketch 'o. A. Hon. Alfred Short was born in Sharon township, Potter county, Pa., January l, no is iicsceimeu irom Scoieh-J nsli parentage tlie same na tional source from whence havesprung large numbers of tho most talented and influential men this country has produced. His grandfather, John Short, an old and iiitlucntial citizen of Tioga county, still lives at the patriar chal tnro of eighty-niUo years. His father Samson Short, wasa well-known lumberman of the Allegheny waters. He acquired very considerable wealth, and in lSi'.O removed to Elk county, whore ho was also sueccsslul in the lumber business, till 1M7 when he re tired to North East borough, Erie county. His mother was Miss Olive E. Sherman, daughter of G. W. Sher man, Esip, a well-known citizen of Potter county. Young Short, the sub ject of this sketch, bcr.au ids education in the common schools of potter county, theivafler one year in liich bui'g academy, Allegheny county, X. Y.; Friendship academy, one year, and two years at the Alfred university, of which Prof. Kenyon, the author of Kenyon's Grammar, was the principal, all situated in Allegheny county, N. Y. Upon completing his education in 1807, Mr- Short at once embarked in the lumber business in Elk county, and is now sawing three million feet of pine lumber per year, in April, 1872, he moved to North East and as sisted his father in his business affairs, embracing valuable properly in widely separated districts. He then, having become a partner of thebanking house of Messrs. Blaine, Gould and Short, of North East, was appointed cashier, in which capacity he served till 1878. He still remains a partner in tlie bank Mr. Short has also an interest in eighteen producing oil wells in the Bradford district. All these varied and important material interests, re.juiriug a cool ami experienead brain namely, his large lumbering buiin -. agisting his father in the management of his property, and hi oiiieia! and partnership connection with a prosper ous banking house have been so far successfully tarred for by him, and which indicates a goodly (juanluui of administrative ability. At tho age of twenty-five he was married to Miss Helen A. Horion, daughter of Jaao llorton, Esip. un old lumberman of Elk county, the fruits of which mar riage are a son and daughter. Two years airo Erie county elected the lion. V. A. Hitchcock as its representative on tlie Republican ticket to tlie legis lature by a majority of 2.0U5. East fall Mr. Short defeated the Republican candidate for tlie same office, he being the Democratic nominee, by 418 ma jority, a revolution in tho jiolitios of tho county almost without precedent in any State of the Union. There was a variety of causes which brought it about, of local interest, which it is unnecessary to mention in this brief sketch. Mr. Short is a member of tire com mittees on corporations and centen nial. Ho stands A 1 in the ranks of the members of the legislature, both on account of his ability, and his efficient and industrious application of his talents. Wilcox LettelN The monthly concert of mission WAS bold in the Reformed uhurch on the evening of Feb. 2nd. The meet ing was a large one, and the object was domestic missions. The pastor spoke for a few minutes from 8t. Johu's gospel 4:16, " Go, call thy hus band," truly a suituble text, for home missions begin M home. He was fol lowed by Mr. James M alone who drew a striking lesson from the politicians; how they Would search alleys, streets, places of poverty and bar-rooms for their vote. Why should not the people of Ihe church do as much ? they should do a great deal more, and there would not bo so many empty seats in churches. He was followed by Mr. II. Campbell who related that In the city of Brooklyn, N. Y. whero :n 184" n prayer-meeting was held un der a tree amopg vicious and Ignorant people, now there is a large mission church, and how the cause had sprung up in a few years along this valley. Prosperous churches aud sabbath schools. The paste -stated that thirty six out of the original sixty-seven pe titioners for the church had died or moved away, still tlie attendance had Increased and prospects brightened ail around. Elder Pix-ston added a few well chosen remarks, and one of the most fruitful of our meetings closed. The Sabbath-school Is prosperous. Our villages need far more personal effort, go on; go ou dear brother u rich harvest awaits your labors. Things in the town are looking more prosperous. Spring will-enforce the old custom of breaking tip old homes and making new ones. We are all waiting patie'Uly for the new railroad which will come whistl ing and plunging through the valley, throwing stones and rocks in an igne ous shower on every side.

WaAliington LcUer- Frohi oar rignlar correspondent. Washington, D. C, February 13. thefe is entirely too much going on outsldrj cif the regular routine blrslrtess of legislation to enable Congress to complete its Work by March 4th. It is now the opinion of Dearly every one familiar with Congressional busi ness that an extra session Will be necessary. Mr. Edniurids has got the Senate into a lengthy debate over his Constitutional arriendmentresoltUiOns, , and, while it is evident thai a majority, of the Senators think no further legls-' latiou is neeessary-'-tbat the States are competent to enforce the laws there Is a disposition totalk about the! matter. It Is all politics, and Mr. Ed munds does not seen! to have accom plished anj' good, nor even to have gained any party advantage, by spring ing the subject. For some days Senators were occupied with the con sideration of Mr Conkling's tilt with the Administration over the New York Custom House appointments, and until it was settled tliPte wasa! good deal of interest, not to say excite ment. LTp to within a few hours of the vote the Senator thought he had a majority with him, which wfts doubt less the case, but Secretary Sherman entered the ring with u lot of Foreign 'Appointments "and slch" at his dis posalInfluence which even Senators can not resist, especially when their terms are to expire within a few weeks. So John won the fight, and Conkllng is discomfited. But his re lation is secure so that eveu if ho does lose control of ;the machine in New York, as the Administration followers c:pect, his personal fortunes can not be materially v-lfected for the present. And for that matter I suspect the Senator is a long ways from dead yet. He will give that curl on his foretop another shake some fine day and at tho same lime shako up the Repub lican parly of the Empire State, in a manner that Hayes, Sherman and company, will heartily despise. There is time enough for that "greatest effort of his life" yet. . Tho Democratic section of Congress is rather in advance of the Senate end in tho routine business, but it has a good deal on hand that must consume time before the close. The Army re orucaniatiou bill is now under con sideration. Theoriginal Burnside bill has been withdraw u ami a new one substituted, which omits the most objectionable features of the first ami contains all its beiler points. But even this may not pass. Tho Repub licans are mostly against it and a few Democrats also There is a prohabil ity, however, that Gen, Harry White has Republican strength enough with hiui ou the Republican side to offset the few Democrats who oppose the mcasrue, and that it will finally go through by a small majority. Then thcro are a million or so of Committee Reports to come ill before tlto end arrives. The Potter Committee now investigating the cipher dispatches will have to report their findings in that lino, and likewise their con clusions, touching the fraud investi gation with which they have been busied th; past year, 'l'hese reports mav contain richness. Mr. iMiileyis expected to tell what, his committee lias lounu amiss in tlie iiovcrnmeiit Printing Otiice, and tho Naval Com mittee has got its prod ready for ex- Secrctary itooeson. t hese are only a few specimens. There are others loo numerous to mention. Every body in Washington Is stage struck. There are not as many big social events as usual this season, and receptions at the White House arc rather slimly attended, but nrivatc Iheat! Ieuls, club ball, and that sort of social entertainments are the rage. Even General Sherman has the stage fever. There is a time in tho life of most young people of the citj when a. strange fancy for the stage and its gluiy aud glitter takes lull possession of their being How grand the homage to stage genius seems to us tlieii. How pretty the tinsel looks from the front of the house; how pretty the actresses, ami how many times we have mistaken dirty cambric lor the hncst satin; how brightly shine the glass diamonds; how threatening the wooden swords and tin daggers. How sweet It would be if this strange fascination, like all the other illusions of life, could last al ways. But it all changes when we see our Dcdemona, or Ophelia, or Juliet, or Paulino swigging lager behind tlie scenes. To most people the period when the glory of theatres and actors is at its zenith is before the twentieth year is reached. General Sherman, however, is an exception to this rule. Tho fever has just struck him. I have never seen such simplicity in so old a man. He is an inveterate theater goer, and his adoration for actors ami actresses is something sublime; His attention to them must be delightfully refreshing like the breeze from a meadow. Ho waits on them, runs utter them and before them, is the most humble of wretches. If I am not mistaken General Sherman graduated from West Point in 1840, and can not bo far from t50 years of age, yet he flies around the humblest of actors like a dancing master, and Is never so happy as when he has an actress of some distinction on his arm. With the ordinary mortal Sherman is as cross and surly as he can bo, und seems to delight in doing illnatured things, but witli actors and actresses he is as genial as u May morning. How charming it will be for him to die in the belief that everything on the stage is real. Don Pkdko. Vick'8 Flokal Guide.

' Lost night a young iriari by 'the! name of Villiam Tees was commuted to jail by Crrristnble O'Connor, of Kane, on the ehnrge of assaulting an old man by the name of Swaiison, Swede, aiid a resident of Kane. As a simple ease of assault the matter would prchaps create but little general interest, but this morning a toregtam was received by the Sheriff from the coinmittingjusttce, D. T. Halb Stating that Swanson has since died, which makes it at least a very serious matter for the accused. The facts, as close as we can gather them from an interview with the pris oner nnd tlie constable, are about as j follows : Tees, the prisoner, the old man Swanson ana his sort, and another Sweed whose name we could not learn, were at Swanson's house, which is located across the railroad from Kane village, In what Is known as the "Swede settlement." They had a quantity of alcohol in the house, and evidently had been indulging in that quiet beverage. Tees states that t live j time the trouble occurred young Swon son had gone up stairs to bed. He (Tees) was readiug a paper. The old man Swanson and the other Swede were disputing angrily in Swede, and though ho could hot undorstund all they said, seemed to be quarreling about some money. Finally the other Swede struck Swanson a heavy blow on tho temp'e with some weapon which he did not distinguish. Then he (Tees) jumped up and knocked tlie other Swede down and under the table aiivi picked Swanson up and commenced bathing his wound with cold water. At this time young Swan son, hearing the fracas, came down, and without stopping to investigate the matter, nicked up a hatchet and threw it at Tees, hitting him on tlie leg, at which he ran, followed by the entire party, when he Was met and arrested by" Constable O'Connor. Tees says ho is' not a Swede, bnt of German descent. Ho has been living in Kane about six months and has been at work on the oil tanks. As It now ap peal's from his story, many points of which are corroborated by the con stable, there seems a stronir miestion whether Tees or the other Sweed is tho guilty party. Tho latter will probably Co arrested to-day, and It will be for tho court aud jury to decide as to the true criminal. Tine oil company. St. Mary's has had her periodic of oil fever. Our town is now undergoing an attack which bids fair to result in putting down at least two holes to tlie depth of ,000 feet. The parties at the head of tliis movement arc earnest, energetic workers, aud have now over Soor subscribed. Nearly all our citizens are represented, a few only, refusing to take shales, and It is conlldently believed that tlie oil company will prove a success. In the event of the company being successful in striking oil in this vicinity, tlie future pros perity of the town and country will lie assured. AlmosH every one who has made oil a study give it as their opinion that oil vxis's In this vicinity.
