' Chinese physicians are paid by the mouth as long as their patients are well but when they fall sick the doctors getinj fees. This appoars to be a pretty wise provision, for by this method ono pays for being well and not for being sick. This tends to make the doctors more preventative thau; curative of the ills to which humanity is subject. But it is doubtful, however, if the practice tends to improve the art of healing. Last Friday while handling a 22-eal- lbro revolver Leonard Blum accidentally shot his 3jiinr brother, Fred, in the fleshy part of the right leg above the knee about six inches. The ball entered the front part and lodged near the skin at the side of his thigh, from whence it was ex tracted by Dr. Morrow. In some mys terious manner the same bullet passed through Leonard's right forefinger but did not strike the bono. Neither of tho boys is seriouly hurt, fortunately, but both have learned a lesson that we hope they, as well as all other of our boys, will keep iu memory. Tho Titusville World of last Satur day has the following item: "On Tues day evening at 8 o'clock a pretty wed ding was celebrated tit the homo of George Kuiitz, North Franklin street, tho interested parties being Miss Sophia Motzcr, of East Hickory, and l'etcr Gal misU of West Hickory.

FltOM ANOTHER Con RES TON DENT. Ono of tlio pleasant events of the season was tlio marriage of Miss Katie Gilles pie, of Whig Hill, Pa., to Mr. Albert Liuhtner, of Kinzua, Pa.

Mr. and Mrs. Liglu , ft next day for Kinzua to visit Mr. us parents, and after a tour to the principal eastern cities, they will be at home to their many frionds. This was the first time in ten years that Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Gillespie have had their children all at hom.at on - Christmas (Jifls,- Tlio Oil City lltiezard strikes a "sypha- thetic cord" in the folowing article and puts into language thoughts that have undoubtedly crept into tlio minds of a largo majority of the old aged : and, middle- In common with .other extravaganeos of the tinio there is undoubtedly a grow ing tendency in the direction of overdo ing the Christmas gilt business, par ticularly among parents. Each loving parent naturally enough desires to see his or hor boy or girl equally as woll sup pliod with presents as sons and daughters of others. Asa consequence they give thorn s many gifts, while they are young, thon when they are oldor grown much dilliculty is experienced iu finding anything that will satisfy them. Tlio great majority of the boys anil girls of to-day know comparatively nothing of the pleasures and enjoyments of tho old en timo Christmas, simply because they have tieen vietuini oi Kvrniiucti or a good thing." " "By the timo a boy of to, day readies the advanced age of ten or twelve years his expectations are so high that, after having received a big lot of gifts, he goncrally asks : "Is that all?" Twenty-live years ago the boy who re ceived a twentieth part of the gifts would have been truly grateful, simply because his appreciation had not been beiiumed, paralyzed and deadened by over indulgence. Then a comparatively worthless trinket occasioned more real pleasure than skates, sleds, drums and all tho rest of the tilings do now. The boy w ho had a pair of skates in those days used them cautiously and carefully. Ho kept them sharp and shining. He skated only ou clean lee, and when he took them oil ho driod them carefully, put them away nnd knew tiiat he would not get another pair in several seasons. Tho boy of to day expects one or nioro pairs every season, and they must be of the best make. He skates on the side walks, iu the road, over sand and stones and is us unconcerned about their condi tion as if they cost noting. When he is through skating he will throw them down in any place, and w hen ho wants to go skating again if he cannot ijiid them he knows he can get others In those days a rag ba!y occasioned more happiness ou the art of the child recip ient than the most costly dolls of the present. By tlie time a boy reaches his teens ho has received about everything imaginable, and is in tlio undesirable condition where nothing satisties him. It is a mistake for parents to givo so lav ishly, even if they can well afford to do so, because it lends to cultivate a lack oi appreciation, of gratitude, and inculcate ideas of extravagance. Wheu a boy of tender years has been presented W illi a gold watch, or a girl with diamonds, pearls, rubies, emeralds, wtc, what is the parent to do next T It is certainly better for parents to givo iiiodeialelv. Could the idea that "lis not the value of the gilt " be more generally understood and accepted, and were parents and relatives of the children to always bear in mind there are other holidays coming, It would undoubtedly b" belter for all concerned, ' for the greatest joy of giving is iu a leal i.atioii of u aciise of appiecialioii on the part of the recipient.

They were excitedly discussing a new strike that had been made tho previous evening. This was on the Shebo farm, three miles to the south of tlietown. Some six weeks ago two Americans frotn FJudlay, Ohio (the colebrated natural gas country), came to Roth well to prospect for oil. They en gaged Mr. W. McKenzie of Petroli to drill a well for them rtn tho Shebo farm, which they had leasod along with various other properties. On Tuesday, Doc. 2, Mr. McKenzie got through with his job, and when a pvmp was put in and set to work It was found that the well was pro ducing oil at the rato of 150 barrels per day. As there was only a single tank ready to receive the oil It was soon filled and the engine was shut down at 7 p. m. Tuesday. On the following atternoon another test was made of the capacity of the well. The larm is situated on the south side of the river. I drove to the well by way of tlio iron bridge. On my arrival there I found a group of oil men (there were probably thirty of them) standing about the woll and taking a lively interest in its output, The dis charge from the pipe was about one half iter and one-half oil. It was pumping at the rate of 150 barrels of oil in the twenty-four hours. The spectators wore all well pleased with the test, but espec ially delighted with the result were the proprietors, Messrs. G. W. Whitman and C. E. Brinton. They have been In the il business many years, and a new strike is no novelty to thorn. Neverthe less, thoy expressed themselves as well pleased with their first strike in Botb woll. It cost them just 8700 to sink this well, which is producing atxint t'JO'i worth of oil per day. Just as soon as oil was struck thoy were offered f 2000 for a quarter interest in the single woll, hut as they know a good thing in oil when they see it they doclinod the offor, These two Americans have 700 acres under lease In the vicinity. They are preparing to sink wells as fast as they can secure drilling rigs to do the work. The testing of this well was tho event of the day. Ita ca-ptfrHyr-vraa not a surpriso altogether be cause equally good wells had already been disooverod,.but it was a good well, and, being situated in a new section of the field, it naturally excited a good deal of interest. Any person desiring first class deotal work dene will do well tn hear in mind that I will be in Tionesta for theveek commencing ou the first Moudoy of each month." tf ' - R. II. Stillhon.
