The Bonner.KeMey Wedding.
This happy event which may just
ly be called the'event of the season
took place at the residence of the
bride's parents on Thursday evening
of last week, and was witnessed by the
relatives of the bride and groom, and '
a large assemblage of the young peo
ple of this place, besides quite a num
ber from a distance. At precisely six
o'clock, Rev. Hickling pronounced
the words which joined the happy
couple in holy wedlock, and made Mr.
Charles Bonner and Miss May Stanley
welly man and wife. After cougrat-
lations and good wishes had been ex
tended, the guests assembled about
the sumptuously spread tables and par
took of the many delicious viands set
before them. At eight o'clock the
ewly wedded pair bid adieu to their
friends and took the 8:20 train for an
extended tour of the Eastern cities
nd other places of note, leaving the
guests to enjoy themselves to their
hearts' content, which they did until
late hour. The affair was one of
grandeur and splendor and to say it
was heartily enjoyed is but reiterating
the expressions of all who were pres
ent. Both bride and groom have al
ways been held in the highest eeteem
by our citizens, and enjoyed a high
station in society, and. we join their
many friends in wishiug them a happy
and prosperous journey through life.

OIL NOTES.
BALLTOWN.
Things are not as lively here at
preterit as sometime ago, on account
of the Balltowa Oil Co. having but
little work laid out in advance of
what they are at present prosecutiug
Jas. Welsh is drillin? a well on his
lease on the northeast corner of 4821
and is down about 550 feet.
The Grandin & Kelly No. 9 put
C50 barrels in the tauk for twenty
four bourj preceding 8 o'clock Sunday
morning. The well is doclining slow
y and will probably at this writing
Tuesday, be good for 550 barrels.
Several new wells will be put down
on 5236, near No. 9. The presen
theory is that the "belt" will deflec
toward the south and cross Tionesta
creek, passing through east of New
town. Whother this be correct or no
time will verify or deny.
Jas. Welsh will drill a well on his
lease on 5235 or 5230, being very
near the line. There is but little ac
tivity at Porkey, and Murphy & Co.
are resting on their oars, I guess, for

Presence of Mind.
Four officers sitting in a bungalow
in India, writes Miss C. C. Ilopley in
her recent book, 'Snakes," were deep
in a game of whist. Suddenly one of
them, turning deadly pale, made signs
that no one should move or speak. In
a hushed whisper he exclaimed :
" Keep still, for heaven's sake 1 I
feel a cobra crawling about my legs
He knew that timidity was one of
the strongest characteristics of the
jnake, and that, if not disturbed or
Alarmed, it would in due time depart '
of its own accord. All present were '
accustomed to the stealthy intruders,
and did not, happily, lose their pres-)
ence of mind. They very noiselessly J
bent down so as to take a survey be-1
ncath the table, when, sure enough,
there was the unwelcome visitor, a full- j
sized cobra, twining and gliding about
the legs of their helpless friend. Lit- I

Ine saw mills have increased by one
and all are busy. Cherry, asb, poplar,
cucumber, pine and hemlock ship-
ments are Jarge, and consignments are
sent from Maine to Chicago, and one
aipment even to California. a
Hub Factory is being enlarged and
will soon run nearly double its present
capacity which is now four hundred
hubs per day. The R. R. people have
put in switches or short side tracks of
one mile each into Reek's, Byrom's,
Towler's, and Curl & Campbell's mills,
so that places that old hunters and
fishermen never dreamed of seeing a
wheelbarrow, now echo to the whistle
uf the twenty-four ton engines. This
year the bark' peelers have invaded
tbe township ani the falling of trees
and shouts oi the army of peelers are
heard ou all Bides.
Much improvement is manifest in
farming and new houses are sprinsine
up in all quarters. The schools of

pairs put na the others. In this con
necti n it's only just to the liberality
of Curl, Campbell & Co. to 6tate that
they give to the board a deed for one
acre of ground and all the rough him
ber needed in the new house, it u
just such men as these that are needed;
men who not only talk but act; men
who not only say they wish the chil-
dren of employees could go to school,

end desired.
In religious matters we aro advanc
