Many friends lo TioneBta will learn

Tbe Titusville Herald says: Gossip
la a pernicious method of lying. It Is
nearly always Impossible lo discover who
first whispered the word of scandal; who
uttered first the word of doubt. But tbe
story grows, nearly alwaya from nothing,
and is bandied about for weeks perhaps
before the victim discovers it. Then he
starts upon tbe back trail, rnns into such
a confusion of tracks tbat they can not be
followed and retires, perhaps with a
ruined reputation. Tbat sort of thing,
going on every day In all communities,
ought to be aenitentiary offense. .
Alfred Koch, aged 68 years, a veteran

tbe habit of going to East Sandy to visit

supposition is that be tried to cross the
roadway of the old bildge and alipptdoff.
Workmen saw a band and coat sleeve In
tbe water and made an investigation.
When they gulled tbe body from tbe
water the hand still clutched a cans which
tbe old geulleman carried. He was a

Twenty-first regiment, P. V. I., and
served three years In tbe Civil war. He
had beeu a resident of Oil City for the

Tbe well on tbe Clarence Potter farm,
mile north of Tylersburg, which made
such a fine showing when the sand was
tapped a few weeks ago, was finished and
shot last Friday. Immediately after the
shot tbe well made three Hows of 25 bar
rels each, and made over 60 barrels the
first 12 hours after being put to pumping.
The well Is now pumping nicely and
experienced men on tbe ground say it
will make a good 25. barrel producer for
some time to come. Leasing Is lively
there and bustling times are looked for
as soon as tbe weather will permit active
operations.
Lewis Daley, aged 24, a laborer, em

which maims bim for life. His left arm

Cyrus E. Jones, a prominent James
town man, met witb a peculiar accident
n that city Thursday, which should be a
warning to those using celluloid collars,
shades snd tbe like. He was wearing a
shade over bis eyes and in lighting a
citiar, the flame from tbe match reached
and set this on fire. In an Instant tbe
gentleman's head waa encircled by flame,
and bis hair, eyebrows and moustache
were burned off and bia tare blistered.
Many of tbe articles used nowdaya by the
ladies, combs aud toilet articles generally
are made of tbat material, and they are
warned not to get them too close to the
fire or lighted gas burners, as they are
highly Inflammable and liable to take fire
or explode.
Last week Editor White of the Ti
dioute News rounded out 36 persistent,
ceaseless years of toil as the head of that
paper, and In ruminating over the past,
comes to this conclusion: "Sitting here
at ibe old, well-littered desk, we look
back over tbis 30 years, and not being
able to see tbe gray hair, the store teeth
or the wrinkled phiz, we readily lop off
tbe years aud feel as full of days and
work as ever, barring, perhaps, tbe desire
to stay out o' nights with tbe boys or to
dance until the day breaks. It has been
years of pleasure, happiness, sorrow and
pain, but all in all, on the final cleanup,
we are satisfied. And we hope our
patrons apd friends are also satisfied, be
cause they've got to stand for It longer.
We still bave a firm grip on tbe crank
and it still revolves with vim, even If not
witb so much speed."
Preparations are under way to put
tbe Titusville A Petroleum Center branch
of lbs P. R. R. iu shape for tbe semi
annual trip. Up to recently the company
only ran one train a year to hold tbe
charter, but now two are run. Tbesecond
trip is due tbis month, and tbe temporary
bridges will be placed In position to
permit tbe passage across Oil Creek, and
they will be removed after tbe run has
been made, to be stored until another
rip Is due. While the distunce is less
ban 10 miles, yet it has happened that it
required three or four days' time to get
tbe train through, as high as three loco
motives being in the ditch along (he
branch. The whole thing looks like a
arce, but somehow or other It makes
the charter good any quells aud possible
competition, and that's all the average
ailroad company cares for.

O. E. Rupert attended a meeting of tbe

much in favor of the Local Institute,
