The Oil City Derrick of Monday con
tains a "write up" of some of tho promi

The article is very nicely gotten up.
what there is of It, but we should be very
sorry to have the outside world get un
der tho impression that all of the good
citizens and industries of the town are
mentioned iu that article. Far from it,
Acoordingto the Oil Citv Derrick's
oil report for December, 0S2 new wells
wore completed in the Pennsylvania oil
fiolds, and IKK) new rigs, making an in
crease of 12 wells completed and 1748
barrels new production. The report
shows a not decline of 87 in total new-
work. We can't see anything in this re
port that could cause such a vast decrease
in the price of oil as has occurred during
the past month.
. Mrs. Emma May Hradish, a resident
of Scrauton, places great value on her
kisses. A young tnuu of that city forci
bly kissed her a few days ago, and she

went and blackened the young man's

ages iu tho sum of f 15,000. Kisses are
nice, but they aio not worth as much as
that.
Last Sunday evening was one of tho
most beautiful, moonlight evenings ever
known. Until about 8; 'Ml tho moon was
unusually bright, lu fact Luna seemed
to be trying to outshine old Sol. Hut be
tween 8:30 and 9 o'clock a sudden change
camo and a very severe electrical storm
occurred and lightning flashed Tory rap
idly for a timo, after which a very severo
wind storm came up and continued un
til morning when thore camo a light
fall of snow, but not enough to make
sleighing.
The Governor tolls us that there are
80,000 miles of road In this stato, most of
which are in an unsatisfactory condition,
aud that tho sum of (1,000,000 is annually
expended upon thorn, without making
any visible Improvement. This is ono of
the greatest wastes of which we are guil
ty. It is well enough to put our trust in
Providence; but we havo tried that plan
with roads long enough it seems to satis
fy ourselves that it will not work and
that Providence expects us to help our
selves in this matter. I'Utnburg Tones
-Hicks' winter prediction. Prophet
Hicks gives tho following dismal pre
diction for the winter. The winter of
18!Hl-'07 will be very long and cold, with
much snow In all localities whero snow
is a factor. ISlizzards will be numerous,
railroads will be blocaded, and all to be
followed by much rain and high water
most of the year. Do not bo in a hurry
to plant spring crops j plant largo and
late varieties of corn ; provide good
shelter lor self and stock, and do not for
get tho sufl'orlng, hungry and poor of our
land.
Th Bradford Sfir says tho Chip
munk oil field is very treachorous. Dry
holes are found a short distance from
good wolls and the opinion of the oil men
is Hint the field is defined. The wells are
located in a valley and thero Is still a
chance for more drilling on the side hills.
A great many have invested on reports
of a big field, as the wells have been re
ported larger than thoy really are, so as
to boom the field. There are about 25
saloons and a number of other business
places, but the boarding accommodations
are very poor.
Did you evor stop to think what a
diflorence there are in the people who
tread this mundane sphere, says an ex
change, and how dilTerenl they sliufileofl'
thisstagoof action? While ono man is
struggling for justice another is lleeing
from it. One man is saving to build a
house and another is trying to sell his for
less than cost to get i id of it. Ono man
is spending all tho money ho can make
in taking a girl to the theatre and taking
her flowers, with the hope of making her
his wife, while his neighbor is spending
what gold ho has in gotting c divorce.
Ono man escapes all tho diseases that
flesh is heir to and gets killed on the
railroad. Auother escapes with a scratch
and dies with whooping cough. One
man stands oQ his creditors and goes
traveling while another pays his debts
and stays at homo.

ono ever clvcn for any laud iu the conn

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,'
and was given by His Excellency, the
Honorablo Benjamin Franklin, and It
was signed ly Benjamin Franklin. Tho
deed conveys to William Clark 200 acres
of land In which was then Westmure
laud county, but what is now Plum
township, Venango county. From tho
appearance of Hen's signature it was
signed with a quill pen and done in i
hurry, but still is much more legibli
than some of the signatures of promi
nons attorneys practicing today. Tin
deed Is dated 1787. April 10. iu the
olventh year of the Commonwealth of

onco on thesubject. "Insect and Fungus

Many Acres of Ensilage Will It Take to
KoepTcn Cows over Winter." Answered
by Hon. C. L. Pock. "How Can Wo
Procure a Stand of Clover on Old
Ground." Answered by Col. Woodward.
The answer was intelligent and compre
hensivo. "When is the Best Time to Put

Peck at considerable length demon
st rated that wo can make dairying pay.

Dispose of tho poor stock, if not for beef,
for manure, and improve your best
stock. Cuio in feeding as well as iu other
departments is essential to bring about
success. This question brought out im
nor tan t instruction to our success.
"Value of Fertilizer, Homo and Coin
mcrcial," by Col. Woodward. The Col
proved himself master of his subjoct
His illustrations on the question were
curofully drawn on the several charts.
There ia a principle of beauty existing
or is traced from the soil to tho animal
and human life tliat to-day exist on the
earth. Stunt your soil and you stunt
your stock, and thereby stunt your pock
et hook. Study your stock and feed the
same intelligently. Success naturally
comes to our stock and as a final conse
quence we will be able to cancel our
mortgages and happily our homos.
Don't boro holes iu you stable floors in
ordor to get rid of the liquid from the
same. By so doing you rob you soil of
the greater portion of that which it so
much needs. Sell your timothy hay and
keep your clover hay on the farm. Feed
com for fateuing only, and not lor suste
nance of the animal life iu the real sense.
Tho Colonels amalysis of the subject was
thorough and comprehensive, to appreci
ate tho solid reasoning was ti hear it for
ourselves. Tho largo assembly was spell
bound listnlng to the able speaker for
fully ono hour and a half. "The Wastes
of the Farm and tho Remedy," discussed
by Mi Peck in his Intelligent man
ner. Ills discussion was broad and
comprehensive and proved very in
structive to the many hearers. Don't
shelter your stock on the windy side of a
wire fence, but love to care for them as it
