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

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 best of sermons will be
loBt on the man who is kept dodging a
modern flower garden in the shape of a

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.

A Large Lumber Deal.
A large lumber deal was made last
week whereby T. D. 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."

About six weeks ago a swelling came
in my groin 2 inches from my navel
about tbe size ol a half lemon very painful
and said to be caused by blood poison. I
doctored about six weeks, and was get
ting worse, when Mr. Brown told me
about San-Cura Ointment. I applied it
as a poultice, changing morning and
night, removing all pain at once. In two
days it broke, discharging pus. I then
changed itoucea day until it was per
fectly healed. I recommend San-Cura
Oiutment as the best poultice! ever used.
It removes pain and all pus, keeping a
sore moist and soft.
