Fatal fillsootisig decide's!.
Two voung men—William McQueen and
James Troop, aged each about 24 years, of
Ulster, went out with their shot guns mar
the premises 'jot ] George Bartholomew on
Mt ore's Hill,; on Sunday last to procure squir
rels for a sick lady Mrs. Addie Hail. TwO
young brothers of Mrs. Halt accompanied them.
Seeing a squirrel up a tail tree, both McQueen
and Troop cocked their double-barrelled shot
guns and walked toward the• tree—Troop
about ten feet in advance of McQueen. In
moving forward McQueen hipped his toe and
stumbled down, his gun was discharged by
the fall and the contents of one barrel was
lodged in the back of young Troop, entering
the lower part of the lungs. The wound
proved fatal in about forty minutes.- Thess,
young men were of good standing in their
neighborhood. The accident was immedi
ately reported to the citizens nearest by,*
and young Troop'ei dead body was conveyed
to the residence of his father. No blame at
taches to the Voupg man, McQueen, who is
greatly distressed'by the terrible codas' rophe.
It is proper to note that the young-m en were
out rather on a mlation of mercy than one of
ph-Isuro. In this connection.' we regret to
state that Mrs. Hall the sick lady, died of
scarlet fever on Sunday nigh: following the
•
accident.

a physician he was advised that it would not

Review of Report of Judges Of (Anted *lime
Oetobir 210 on Draft
The writer as a dealer in Chilled Nos s is
not Tithing to have it etihned- tor his; or !any
other chilled plows that they only require a
draft of from 37 to 42 pounds to the 100 cubic
inches of heavy sod iiisd stiff soil turned. The
worthy Secretary of our County Agricultural
Soeiety,. Cautain Wilt, ei-Conuty Common
School i Superititendent, uses figures beYond
my coniurehtudion is calculating the average
draft pi; 1001ribic inches of earth turned. In
my sohnol ;days, frotit 40 to SO years ago, we
need NlA's, and later, Adams' arithmetics.
We were taught that; if it required SOO pounds
draft to turn 125 cubic inches of earth, that
100 cubic inches would require 400 pounds. Is
it possible that the icie.tce of flg4es has so
changed since my school-boy days ar to show
that.the.4oo Pounds Should bo divided - by 12,
making 331, pounde,draft to 100 cubic inches?
It would deem so; fur I hive been unable to
convince. the Captain that an inch board 1&
inches lung by 8 inthea wide ;contains 128
cubic inches of lumber. He ;you'd' divide 128
by 12, making the cubic inches If I am
not in error, think', any 14 fears old boy, in
our graded school, can see the Captain's mis
take. Is is a won der that not one of the five
judges discovered it Taking Secretary Will's
figures of wilth, depth and drafts of the vari
ous plows, I make the record as follows:
Wiard "A," average size of farrims 220.07
cubic inches to, 5321 s pounds theft. _One
hundred cubic inches of earth turned was
444.18 pounds.
Wiard "F,.' average size of farrow 102.05
pins inches, to 466f 1 j pounds draft, waking
draft 457.26 phis pounds to 100 cubic inches
earth turned.
Syracuse Stiel Beam Plow, average size of
furrow 103.88 plus inches, to 4665; pounds
draft, making 449,20 plus pOunds to 100 cubic
inches earth turned.
Synactiss Oast Beam Plow. average size of
furrow 103.33 inches to 475 lbs. draft. making
446.70 lbs. to 100 cubic inches auth turned.
Oliver H. 1, Wood Beim _Pio*, average size
of furrow 97.41 inches to 4064 lbs. draft, mail-
ing 472.40 lbs. to 100 cubic Inches.
Oliver 40, Wood Beam, average size of fur
row'lol.44 inches to 450 lbs. draft, making
443.60 lbs. to 100 cubic inches earth turned.
It will be noticed that I have extended the
fractions into decimals of hundredths of lbs:
and inches. Unless the arithmetic:: of the
present day have changed from those of 40
years ago, I think the "rule of three" will set
tle the question, and that my figures will be
fond to be correct. Try them.

had their provisions with them.- -Smoben

A TRIP Ti.THE NEW PROSPECTIVE OIL DISTRICT.
Your c - i4'i resi!ondetit.. thinking it would not t
be unbeii;eticial to lay, aside his bookg for • a
day, "and enjoy a ride in the open air, and
aiding to visit same friends in the vicinity
of the new oil disitict Of Wyoming Co:, the
home of the writer's early childhood—made
the necessary preparations, and at an early
hour on Saturday last accompanied by an
elderly friend, started from Wyalusing. antici
pating a pleasant ride and visit. The air was
keen and bracing and the temperature was by
no means increased by the heavy dense fog
which enveloped the landscape. Though
prOvided with winter wrapping* we could not
refrain from an occasional shiver while
crossing the river on the ' flat" which does
not move with very great rapidity.
Driving through the small but ples , .antly
located village of Sugar Run, we passed the
residence of Washington Ingham, known to
the reading public under the twin, de Anne of
of "Castelar." Farther down we passed the
barn, etatill'ng 'very cleat" to the road, in
which bat f w years ago a .resident of the
place corn itted suicide by hanging him
self.
Soon afte leaving the river we ascended a
bill, which, during the ascent, seemed almost
interminah ee Gradually the sun's rays ap
.peited to pierce through the thick fog, but
in reality.we were rising above it. A* we ar
rived at the summit we had a grand view of
the country for many miles around; the river
and valley seemed to be encased in an itil;
mense shroud. r
' Passing on a few rods my friend pointed -
out to me the very spot neon which a still
More terrible tregedy, a bru'al murder,
several years since was committed. To pass
such a spot causes an involuntary shudder.
The day proved to be one of October's meet
magnificent; as Longfellow says:
"There is ibeautifal spirit breathing:now
Its mellow richness•on the Clustered trees,•
And, from a beaker full of richest dyes.
Pouring new glory on the autumn woods." .
The beauty of the scene, my
, keen enjoy
ment of the ride, 'and my companion's inter
esting conversation, put to flight any gloomy
thoughts which may have been snggested by
the tragedies, before alluded to.
A few MileS farther we passed what was
originall a tract of twelve hundred acres
which hid formerly been owned by my travel
ling conqianion, from whom I learned many:
interesting things concerning the people
along thd route. Upon this tract was situat
ed a lar4i white house; perhaps a quarter of
a mile frm the road, and in front of which
t
was a lar e beautiful sheet of water.
As we neared the scene of my first remem
brance, i iny early childhood's home, where
perhaps !my happiest days were spent, each
familiar spot suggested something
r ot the
past and memories crowded npon me bring
ing with them conflicting emotions. The
old, brown weather-beaten house, the brood(
running behind it, and opposite, near at
hand, the grand old tree-covered hill, form a
picture indellibly - stamped upon my mind.
These, artociations ' seem like something
{sacred.
Though less than one and twenty years
have passed since then, they have tronght
with thorn many changes. My thoughts
turn to a dear playmate, the participant in
all my childish sports, who, if present, could
not view these scenes with me, save as re
produced mentally, having been bereft of
physical eight. This together with the:re
membrance of some who are not—"speaking
after the manner - of men" • tinges. my pleas
ure with sadness. There is a sense. also of
having suffered a bitter, burning, lasting,
th nigh not nnforviven, injury. But.l seem
to forget that I am writing for the public and
that these things, so intensely interesting to
me, are of no consequence to the reader. ex
cent perhaps as he may bare bad similar ex
periences.
We did not stop here for it is now 'occupied
by strangers. We @topped at the house of
Mr. M—, who came herb many years ago
from Philadelphia. In the afternoon D—
m —,:and myself paid a visit to the-test nil
wells, about , two , miles from the - village of
Lovelton, Wyoming Co., and probably about
thirty miles from Towanda. . The spudding
had just commenced but they were obliged to
stop kir want of water to run the engine.
This being the first oil well I had ever seen,
was quite a novelty to me. The derrick is
seventy-two feet high; 'the engine and ma
chinery which . I shall not attempt to describe,
were brought from Bradford. The chief dril
ler, who Also came froMßradforel, kindly fur
nished us with deserved. information con
cerning the working of the well. .
We leani that Mr: Frank Jennings has con
tracted' to put down the test well at the rate
of $1.50 for the first 1000" feet and $1.24 . there
after-. They bad then reached a depth of
40 feet, having dug a regular well about. 35
feet deep. • At this • point •a red inch was
