To the man who remembers how be used to bring in an armful of stove wood which he bad picked out of tbe sncw, and bow be procured water to wash bis lace in tbe morning at the frozen pump, the winters are milder now than when he was a boy. But the cban.e is not so much in the seasons as iu ourselves, we have only to turn on tbe gas now to bave all the fire we want, and we bave the luxury of hot water by simply turning tbe fau cet. The winters are about tbe same as they bave always been tn tbis climate, hut tbe discomforts are not so many, a fact we are apt to forget in comparing re cent wintry seasons with those of the past, thinks the Oil City .Blizzard. And come to think it all over, we guess that's about bo. The annual report of tbe county aud itors appears in the Republican today, and will doubtless be scanned with the usual Interest by the taxpayers ol tbe county, Tbe statement of tbe County Commissioners shows a very healthy and satisfactory condition of financial aflairs of the county. On the county account tbe county is considerably abead of tbe game, baying assets to the amount ol f 11,340.25, with no liabilities. Ou tbe poor accouut tbe district has outstanding bonds amount ing to $20,000, from whlcb assets to the amount of $12,033 29 should be deducted, leaving a net Indebtedness of $7,900 71. But as tbe county aud poor accounts are practically oue and tbe same thing, the taxpayers having to foot the bills In either case, tbe showing still leaves the financial end of the county abead to tbe extent of $3,378 51. Last week, being mild and springlike in Its demeanor, was a good one for coons, several being captured by local talent. But speaking of ooons, we guess former citizen of tbis county, George Stroup, who now makes bis home at Kane, has tbe reo ord all right. A month ago bis capture of these cunning little animals counted up to 61 for tbe season, and how many be has bagged Bince then we wouldn't pretend to tell. It's "going some" to dispatch that many coons In a single season, but George has tbe pelts to prove his claim, and those who know him wouldn't dispute his word anyhow. Most of the catch was taken along the trout streams where they were feeding on the speckled Ifcautles, the almost "dry" streams affording easy picking for Mr. Raccoon. And that re minds us that there Is a proposition be fore tbe legislature to give lawful protec tion to coons! A bounty on tiieui would seem to be more to tbe purpose, if It Is dosirod to save the trout. . . Some devoted brother editor, whose identity is yet bidden, but who has man aged to find bis way into church at some time or other, writes thus freely on a delicate topic: In churoh It is ju-t as natural lor a man to desire to see the preacher as it is for him to demand that be be permitted to view the actors in a play. In tbe play house women remove their bats. In chuich tbe man who wishes to see tbe minister or tbe choir does so at the expense of a suffering neck. He dodges because be must, for one might as well try peeking through tbe eye of a needle at an exhibition of rain bows as to see tbe man who is preaching tbe sermon.

Tbe post office department has issued a new order in regard to tiusel cards, etc. Tbe text is as follows: "Cards bearing particles of glass, metal, mica, sand, tin sel or other similar substances, are un mailable, except when enclosed in en velopes tightly sealed to prevent the es cape of such particles, or when treated in such manner as will prevent tbe ob jectionable substance from being rubbed off or injuring persons handling the mails." Heretofore cards piaced in en velopes were sent to their destination. According to this ruling, cards of tbe de scription given above must be placed In envelopes and sealed. Tbe purpose Is no doubt to make sure tbe cards will not slip from the envelopes. Tbe tinsel and other substances on tbe cards ae a source of much annoyance to the clerks band ling them, hence this order. Mrs. Ellen MoMillen and Mrs. Emily Cole bad charge ol the W. C. T.

Collins, of Nebras- ka, purchased the interests of the R L, Buzard Estate, R. T. Buzard, of Sheffield, and G. F. Watson, of Tionesta, in the manufacturing department of the Salmon Creek Lumber Company, with mills at Kellettvllle, and the Pennsylvania Lum ber Company, doing a wholesale busi ness with offices in Sheffield. Before this deal was made Mr. Collins was a partner in both concerns to tbe extent of holding a half interest in the Salmon Creek company and a three-eighths in terest In tbe wholesale company, and as be was the owner of all the stum page on tbe Salmon Creek property, tbis gives bim complete control of the Immense operations of the two concerns. The consideration in the deal la not made publio, but from the nature aud volume of tbe business transacted by tbe com panies tbe price paid would no doubt be a large one. We are reliably Informed that the Salmon Creek company bas yet two hundred and fifty million feet, prin cipally hemlock, left to cut. At the same time tbe above deal was made Messrs, Buzard and Watson purchased Mr. Col lins' interest in a tract of timber and lumber operations in Alabama, thereby dissolving a partnership which has ex isted for some years. Neither Mr. Wat son or Mr. Buzard bave made any defi nite plans for the luture, but with their large holdings in Alabama, California and Washington, it is reasonably certain that tbey will be kept busy for many years to come. Mr. Watson bas been tbe manager of the Salmon Creek com pany, while Mr. Buzard looked after the Interests of the wholesale company, and their retirement will no doubt necessl tale some important changes in the man agement of tbe affairs of tbe companies. How "Cash-Up" Got Its Name. A Tltusville correspondent of the Pitts burg Commercial Gazette of May 31, 18K8. gives the following interesting account of tbe manner in whlcb "Cash-up," once a sensational oil pool, located in Venango county, three miles west of Stewart Run, Forest county, got its name. Dr. Sham- burg referred to is still well remembered by most of our people, and once owned tbe Carter Farm at West Hickory, wbere he resided for a number of years. Inc dentally some facts are adverted to about oil well production at that time thai will make the average producer of today feel like a two-cent piece. The article re ferred to says: "Dr. Shamburg, of tbis city, Is one of tbe oldest aud best known oil-producers in Pennsylvania. He bas been constant ly engaged in the business since 18G5, and has amassed a large fortune. The rich pool known as the "Shamburg district" vas developed by bim. Dr. Shamburg bas given some Interesting reminiscences which show the profits that are sometimes made in tbe production of oil. When the first well was struck, at a place after wards known as Cash-up, the dorter was early on the ground. The new strike stood alone some four miles from any producing wells of consequence. It bsd barely touched the oil sand, and was flow ing in a fine spray about 110 barrels a day. Tbe well was owned by three young men. After negotiations extending over a day or two Dr. Shamburg bought the well for $30,000 cash. It was located on a live-acre lease, and he then succeeded lu buying this lor $32,000 cash. There as a small strip of laud on one side of him that he wanted, and for tbis be was obliged to pay about $.'10,000 cash in hand. The maimer in wbicb these purchases were msde gave the place the name of "Cash up," by wbicb it is known in history. Tbe doctor drilled the well deoper, aud it immediately increased to 800 barrels a day, at which rate it continued to produce for three months. Oil was thou $4 25 a barrel, Tbe well full off in production until it was down to 300 barrels a day. when still deeper drilling increased it t 1,200 barrels a day. While it was (lowing at tbis tremendous rate Dr. Shamburg sold his production aluad for two mouths for $4 a barrel. "Mr. Hilton, later ol tbe firm of Hilton A Waugh, agreed to lake the production ofthewellat tbis figure for the period named. Mr. Hilton made this proposition without knowing that the well bad In- creasi d from 300 to 1,2H) barrels a day When it became Known in the trade that the well hail increased tn such an extent the market broke from $1 25 to $1 a bar rel. During the two months that the contract bad to run and it was simply a verbal contract -the well produced 20,000 barrels of oil, which Mr Hilton accepted, and for which be paid Dr, Shamburg $4 a berrel. The first month's production of this well paid back tbe $UO,000 wbicb the property bad cost tbe doctor, and the net profits of tbe well In nine months and the few acres around It were upwards of $250,000."
