a seasonable hour.
The best pike and salmnu fishing

Tiouesta is a most delightful
place, so summer visitors say. Why
not utilize our natural resources and
give those who have no special friends
with whom they can spend a few
weeks, an opportunity to visit our
town and admire tbe beautiful scenery
hereabouts? A new hotel supplied
with water from the sulphur and other
mineral springs iu the vicinity would
fill the bill.

in a broken rib. Whilo riding along
near Kellettville in a toad cart be
was thrown out by the carl wheel
dropping into a hole. He paid but

The special istue of the Oil City
Derrick of last Saturday was a hand
some one and one over which it may
well feel proud. It consisted of twelve
pages of reading matter with illustra
tioos, describing tho paper's growth,
and giving a complete review of the
city and its busiuess interests. The
Derrick has further reason for rejoio
ing in the fact that it was the first
paper in tbe State to utilize the type
setting machine, the Mergentbaler
Lttuotype, having recently placed nve
of these machines in their composing
room, each of which, operated by one
roan, will do tbe work of three or four
compositors, and tho work is done
well, as the daily appearance of the
paper will testify. Here 'a mure sue

The Warren Ledger spring the
idea of the newspapers of this section
forming au association for mutual pro
tection aod advaucemeut. We're
agreeable. For years the Newt has
fought the fight against advertising
agents who get all the profits aud let
the printer do the work; discouute
nanced the truck aud barter system of
paying for advertisements; demanded
and received advance payment of sub
scriptions from all patties with whom
it bad no ruoniog accounts, and tried
to bring op the business to the stand
ing of legitimate op and up business
as a business investment. And it bas
succeeded to far as one office is con

more can be accomplished. So Mr.

to come in and we'll be there. Tid

OIL K0TE8.
The Ilardison well, on tbe Winker
faim, was finished last Thursday
morning, and we are sorry to say, was
a complete duster. It was down about
975 feel, and failed, absolutely, to
find any third sand. A small flow of
gas was struck in the second sand, but
no oil. It depends now on what the
Bovee & Duck well on the Lodebur
farm, some distance to the east of the
Ilardison, will bring forth, to show
what the territory in that direction is
going to amount to. Tbe general
opinion seems to be that, if tbe belt
extends any great distance, these wells
are too far to the east. The Bovee &
Duck well is expected in not later
than to day.
Tbe Wolcott well, on the Vockroth
farm, was brought in last Friday, and
made a fine showing for a good pro
ducer. The sand, of which there was
24 feet, was struck at 910 feet, and
while drilling through it, the bole
filled with oil. The well was shot
yesterday with a 30 quart shot, and
was rigged up for pumping last night.
We have not learned what it started
off at, but a conservative estimate
makes it 50 barrels, and that it would
make from 25 to 30 barrels steady.
Ilardison has made a location on
the Kanian farm, cast of the Vock
roth farm, and will put down a well
immediately.

Did you ever count up how much time

subtract it from the 24 hours and see how

Tho new law regarding the election of
Tax Collectors and their duties is to be
tested by tlioCummissioucis of Erie conn
ty who have refused to Issue a duplicate U
tho Tax Collector of Girard township. It
is alleged tho luw discriminates against
farmers who do not realizo tho profits on
their crops until late In the year, whi'e by
paying early thero is a robato of five per
cent. Thoso who pay Inter must settlo the
lull amount, and thoso who are unable to
meet the claim before the eleventh hour
bavo a penalty imposed upon them. It is
roprese.iteJ that this unnecessarily in
creases the clerical work iu tho Commis
sioners' olllco besides operating to the dis
advantage of those who cannot always pay
before tho timo aiinounced for closing the
Treasurer's books. This case will be
watched with interost all over tho state, on

Much of Into has been written about the
measuring worms that aro here and there
eating the foliage from tho lieinlm k trees.
Tho peuny-a-lino leporters for city dallies
have got up a big scare, but thero is prob
ably no cause for alarm. Tho old lumber
men here tell us that this worm has always
been at work in the hemlocks in greater
or fower numbers, but nover hurt any
thing. "The worms have been at work
on Spring Creek for years," says L. B.
Elliott, an extensive lumberman, "but
never did any harm." Mr. Elliott says
the trees fed upon put out their foliago tho
coming spring, as if they hud not been at
tacked by the worm. Mr. Haley, an old
time jobber at Glen Hazel, tells us that
tho worms have not yet done any perma
nent damage, and he fully believes that
they are not destructive. W. II. Crocker,
of this city, an extensive bark dealer, suys
Unit in Canadii these worms attack tho
tuuiura"k in great numbers and eat olf the
leaves in mid-summer, but that the trees
are not injured in the least. II. S. Thayer,
a lumberman on Mill click, claims the
worm is uu old acquaintance, and he likes
to see it once in a whilo. Tho pest Is not
a new thing by any means, but. on the
contrary the lumbermen, tanners and
woodsmen are well acquaiutod with it and
smile at the cry of alarm that has been
raised. .Tho worm is a periodical visitor
alto, uud may not come again for years.
