Oil Well Notes. The Brewn well on the Whitmire farm in Oakland tp. was opeued and tubed Wednes day,and is supposed to be good for from .10 to 40 barrels per day, but iu owners have joined the P. P. A., and the well is or will be shnt in. The oil is the regular Greece City oil and this well opens up a new field or pool—a coutinuatiou of the old Greece City belt or line of pools. The Mahon farm well on the line of Clin ton and Middlesex tps, is said to be dry, and both the Haymaker and Root wells in the Saxon burg district are reported dry. —President Cleveland has nominated Mel ville W. Fuller, of Chicago, to the Senate, for Chief Justice of the Supreme. Court of the I'nited States. He is a native of Maine and u said to be a good man and a good law yer. Pennsylvania Democrats were hoping the nomination would come to George Jen'is, the Brookville attorney who made so good a fight here in the Dougal will case. —An exchange tells of a lady who last fall stuck a piece of a grape vine into a flower pot for a support to a tender and sickly looking flowering plant. The plant grew, aud so did the piece of grape vine. It became green, leaves came out on it, and then buds, which were followed by full grown, fully ripened, delicious grapes. Our lady readers should remember this and try a similar experiment next fall. Young men who go to sec girls have adopted a novel method of obtaiuiug kisses. They assert on the authority of scientific writers, that the concussion produced by a kiss will cause a lamp to flicker, and thus easily induce the girls to experiment in the interest of science. The first kiss or two the partiee watch the llatne to see it flicker, but soon become so interested in the experiment as to let it flicker if it wants to. —The law prohibiting the killing of a calf be'ore It has attained the proper age is very stringent. It provides that "any person who kills or causes to be killed, with intent to sell tbe meat for family use, a calf less than four weeks old, or knowingly sells or has in his possession such meat with intent to sell the same for such me to foreign markets, shall be imprisoned not mire than six months or fined more than S3OO. —The boy who spends his evenings in reading newspapers containing the local news of his own couuty and the general news of tbe day will certainly make a better man than the boy who spends his evenings on the street, or loafing at the places where the vil lage gossip is dished out in the most vulgar and obs.-ene manner. Parents should think over these facts and see that their children have good newspapers to read. —Addison McCandless of Coano<{ueness iujf township, a man of 25 years, went over to Robert Aiken'* place, last Wednesday, for a load of straw,and while he was in the mow above the threshing 3oor the rotten timbers gave way aud he fell to the floor, a distance of about twelve feet, breaking ijis_ leg and dislocating the cai> of the auklc joint. He was carried to Jos.

V o matter it ynti do not understand the business; no matter if you have not got a whitewash brush; take an old broom and spr> ad it on thick. It will sweeten up the air iu the cellar, the parlor aud the l>ed chamt>er, and it will save your family from tne affliction of fever.diphtheria aud other diseases. The body of James Wilson,the employee of the Plate Glass Co., who died last Friday evening, was shipped to his former home - New Albany, Ind.—on Monday. Wilson was a drinking man and had been on a pro longed spree. On Thursday ol last week, he imagined that some one was after turn, with intent to do him harm, an i that it was nec essary for him u> into the creek to rid of his pursuer. Ou Friday he had the Mime fear aud carried out his idea of getting into the cree*, where he remained for an hour or two, iu water above his waist, aud after he was induced to C'lin-i out and go home, he was taken with a cramp that killed him. —The firm of Shearer & Hicks of Brad ford will remove their machine shoi>-to But ler if they can secure a suitable location near both depots. The topography of Butler is rather unfortunate as to building locations near to or between both depits, aud this, with the ill-will between the railroad com panies will likely interfere with some indus tries locating here. Shearer it llicks are the manufactures of the New Ball engine, the most popular oil well eugiue iu usu, and if they cau secure a location here they will build a plant costing from fifty 11 seyenty five thousand dollars, and employ fit'ty skilled men besides unskilled labor—aa in dustry worth having. —A forest fire on the places of Jo<eph B. Bredin and Eckert kalb, last Saturday, afternoon and Sunday morning destroyed fences to the value of at least $l()J for Joe, and SSO for K kert, The tire is supposed to have originated, Saturday, from the after noon freight, but it made no headway of any account until Sunday, towards uoon, when it broke out furiously, sweeping several acres of woods, undergrowth, oid tree tops and dead trees, and charring the large staud ing timber so badly that it will probably all die. The fire became dangerous and to stop it Joe got a force of about forty men and Eckert got twenty, who with plows, shovels, hoes, rakes and buckets, succeeded iu head ing it off. Other fires have lately occurred aloug the line of this road, and if suits for damages are to follow, it will pay the rail road company to place spark arresters, .on their freight engines. —The Committee on the celebration of the Centennial of the organization of Allegheny county has issued its first pamphlet, which gives the names of the gentlemeu com posing the various committees, aud an outline of each day's programme. Allegheny county was created on the 24th of September, 178s 1 , and it is proposed to celebrate the eyeut aud other events in the history of the county, by a jubilee extending oyer three days, begiu uiug with Monday, Sept. 24, IHSH. The first day's proceedings will include the dedi cation of the new Court House and mass meetings and musical performances, the second day will be devoted to Civil, Indus trial and historical parades, and the third to military parades aud fircwortcs. It will probably be the eveut of the year iu Pitts burg and Allegheny. —Spring bonnets have bloomed. —House cleaning is in order. —lt will soon be sheep shearing time. —The fishing time haa come, gen tle angler- —A calm day should be selected when burning garden rubbish. —You can't insult clerks in the evening by telling them to "shut up." NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. —The long flint-glass strike haa been -ettled nt last aad the lockedout workers in Pittsburg to the number of 1,200 weut back. It was a victory for the workers, although they have lost over half a million dollars in wages since the trouble commenced. The it is believed, will continue for fully ton years, and no further trouble is expected. —They are getting "personals" down very fine in Youngstown. The Telegram takes four lines of its new type to tell its 9000 circulation that four young women of that town call pi on another yoang woman the even ing before "and had a very pleasant time." Which is why we remark that they are getting personals down very fine in Youngstown. Counterfeit 6ilver dollars were circulated in large numbers nt Erie recently, that were not detected until taken to the banks for deposit by the husiness men. They are dated 1887, are moulded, not stamped, and are said to be an excellent counterfeit. Rochester and Buffalo were dosed with the same coin last week. Our husiness men should look out for them, as they are apt to stray down this way. —At a recent session of the Clarion couuty court a juror came into the box drunk and all the efforts of the court officers could not make him re alize his condition. The court dis charged him. —The maple syrup season just end ed was the best ever known in Fay ette county. In Spriughill twp.. about 8000 gallons were manufactur ed and sold at an ayeratre of nearly 95 cents per jug. Some farmers made more off their camps in the seven week's season than they have made off their grain crops for some years. —A thousand skunk skins were shipped from Scranton, the other day, to Germany, where they are to be worked up in grenadier bats. If they should retain their natural odor they would add very much to the strength of the Germany army. —A new intoxicant called "meth" has made its appearance iu Pittsburg. Tbe principal component parts are hops and houev. It is said to be a nectar like unto that which the gods did dally with. As the seductive beverage is neither a malt nor a spir ituous liquor, it is claimed that it can be sold by anybody without a license and no stamp is required. —On Saturday evening last, Mrs. Chas. Snyder, who lives near Grove City, asked her 12-year-old son to go to the stable and do the chores, which he refused to do, when she chastised him, whereupon he startfed for the stable saying he would hang himself. Mrs. Snyder paid no attention to this, as she little thought he bad any in tention of doing so. He did not re turn in the usual time, when his mother went to search for him, and to her horror, found tbe last words of the boy verified. lie was hanging suspended by a rope between tbe loft over head and tbe barn floor. Assist ance was called and be was cut down at onco, but only drew one breath thereafter. The act was deliberately planned for one so young. He had procured a rope, crawled up a board to tbe loft, tied tbe rope around his neck and to a joist and then jumped to death. He seemed like an inoffen sive bov, but it is said he made sim ilar threats before A Beaver Valley Sensation. A sensation was created at Roches ter, Pa , last week by the action of Mrs. L. A. Hibbard, widow of the late Dr. Hibbard, in bringing Buit for breach of promise against Mr. H. C. Fry a widower, and probably the wealthiest and most prominent resi dent of the town. No stated amount of damages is in the papers filed in the suit, but Mrs Hibbard's attorneys say SIOO,OOO will be asked for. The complainant in the case is tall, wdl-formed, inclined to embonpoint and is 40 years old. She has a blonde complexion and nut-brown hair and eyes. Previous to her marriage to I)r. Hibbard the lady traveled with opera and concert companies, posses sing, until a few years ago, a remark ably tine contralto voice. She has three children, one a youDg man, a daughter who is in society and a sec ond son in his teens. Henry C. Fry is a widower about 50 years of age. Ho is Superintend ent of the Rochester Tumbler Com pany, of which he is the largest stock holder; a director of the Bridgewtiter Qas Company; ex-President of tfce Chatauqua Association, and siuce its formation a pillar in the First Bap tist Church. His wife, a sister of Jacob Reese, of Pittsburg, died a lit tle over four years ago. Mr. Fry has au interesting family of fiye children. Two of them are youug ladies at school and his oldest son, H. C. Fry Jr., is married. His residence is the most beautiful in town and Mr. Fry lives in liner style thau any other res ident. He is rated as being worth little less than half a million. Mr. Fry has beeu paying attention to the the complainant for almost a year, and few months ago it was stated oa good authority the couple were to b<3 married soon. Then un pleasant stories were started aud it was asserted by the lady's friends that the matter would eud iu marri age or a breach of promise suit. Sen sational developments are expected if the suit comes to trial, and it is al ready called "Beaver county's Baby Bunting Case." The Situation at Braddocks. PITTSBURG, May 1. The rail, bloomini; and converting department at the Edgar Thomson steel works have not yet been started up, but the machinery is In operation, aud every thing points to a resumption in these departments at any hour. A large number of men applied tor work this morning, including some of the strik ing Knights of Labor. The impress ion is growing among the people of Braddocks that the strikers are about convinced the the company will be able to operate the works without their assistance, and it would cause very little surprise if they would de clare the strike off at the meetiug this afternoon. The only hitch now seems t.o be the signing of the iron-clad agreements. The strikers say they are willing to accept the reduction, but will uot consent to the disruption j of their organization. Fine Pictures. Mr. W. S. Bracken, agent for the North American Photo-copying Co., of Jamestown, N. Y„ is now canvass ing Butler and vicinity for work. This company enlarges photographs in crayon and water colors, their work is first-class and their charges lower than any we have heard. Mr. Bracken is stopping at the Lowry House, at whiih place orders can be left for him. He will remain in Butler for a month, and ban al ready taken many orders. A very Vivid Imagination. Loui3VlLlk. Ky., April 22 —Hen ry and John Hill, bachelor farmers, lodged in jail at Jamestown, Ky., two weeks ago for the murder of two peudlers named Burton, early iu March,were put to trial Saturday. The principal witness against them was Mary Smith, their servant. Her story was supported by the finding of the remains of two bodies in a cave near the Hill tarra While she was telling on the stand how she had been compelled, on the peril of her life, to cut the throats of the peddk-r6 while they were asleep at her em ployers' house, and catch the blood in a bucket, the Burtons walked into the court room The remains found, upon close examination, proved to be parts of the carcasssets of two sheep. Counterfeiting a Baking Povv- The public is too well informed as to the danger from alum baking pow ders to need any caution against us ing them. It is, nevertheless, a fact that many of our most prudent and careful housekeepers are, without knowing it, using these deleterious articles daily, aud from them prepar ing for their families food which, were they aware of its nature, they would not offer to a beggar. Baking powders made from burnt alum cost less than four cents a pound. When these can be worked off in place of the Royal Baking Powder, and sold for forty or fifty cents a pound, there are many many manutacturers and dealers sufficiently unscrupulous to do it. A favorite method of selling these poisonous alum baking powders is by placing them in an empty Royal Baking Powder can and weighing them out in small quantities when the Royal Baking Powder is called for by customers. The grocer, if questioned, claims that ho buys in large packages at a lower rate, and is thus able to sell below tbe price of the goods in small caus. All baking powders sold in this way are entitled to suspicion Analysis of many of them have been made with a view to a prosecution, and in all cases they have been found largely adulterated and generally made from poisonous burntalurn This is selling counter feit goods, and is, of course, an offense ugainst the law. We are glad to know the Royal Baking Powder Company have taken the matter in hand, and are acting in a way that will protect the public from the swin dle The surest protection from this fraud is for the housekeeper to buy the bakiug powder of the brand she wishes in the original unbroken pack age, looking carefully to see that the label has not been tampered with. The Royal Baking Powder Company announce, what is well known, that their goods aie packed for the conven ience of consumers in cans of various Bizes, but are never sold in bulk, by the barrel or loose by weight or mea sure. The cans are securely sealed with the company's trade mark label, and the weight of each package etamped on the cover. Any baking powder being peddled out by weight under the name of Royai they de nounce a 9 bogus and to be avoided. Consumers should bear these facta in mind if they do not wish to have imposed upon them the poisonous aliiru stuff that is being profusely dis tributed throughout the country un der the name of baking powder. If, however, they buy the Royal in cans with unbroken labels, they are al ways sure of using a baking powder perfectly pure and wholesome, and of the highest test, strength arid tiDc iency. Accident near Bradford. BRAUFORP, April 2S. —Train No. 2, the mail bouud south oa the West ern New York and Pennsylvania Railroad, was wrecked one mile west of Olean at about noon today. The disaster, which did not result in a di rect loss of life, but maimed aud in jured many, was caused by the rails spreading. The mail aud baggage cars, aud two coaches well filled \yith passengers, were hurled down an em bankment about 40 feet high. In their descent the mail and baggage cars turnad a complete somersault and lauded right side up, but the pas senger coaches rolled over several times, and landed bottom side up in about three feet of water. The occupants of the smoker fared the hardest, aud many had narrow escapes Irom drowning. The stove in the mail car upset, aud the car was fired, but the flitnes were extin guished before great damage was done. The express car and locomo tiveclung to the rails, but the express messenger had aa arm broken by the shock. Four passengers sustained injuries which may result in death. A Philadelphia man went out to Kansas and told the people ho was "a bad man" and had killed several peo ple iu the ludian Territory. The na tives mistook him for a desperado who was wanted for doing a number of bad things and attempted to arrest him, and in the fight that ensued the Philadelphian was killed. It turned out that the man from the Quaker City was a harmless sort of fellow, but ha wanted to be considered tough. The Wild West is a poor place for any men to assume the airs and bravado ot°a desperado. They have a way of doing thiugs out there that departs from the usual trial by jury—in fact they kill a man nnd then try him. In this case the man was adjudged iuuocent when the verdict couldn't do him any good. For Sale. A good cow.

LOCKPORT, N. Y., April 27, 1888 J Mrs. Elizabeth Burridge Bullock, daughter of Mr. Benjamin j of this citv, who died oil Tuesday and was buried today, was a sufferer [ from a strange ailment. She was, so to speek, in almost complete state of ossification for the psst fivejyears, and her joints had become stiffened so > that it was impossible for her to live. She was a most intense sufferer from the pain attendant upon the advances I of the disease. The contracting 1 aud I drawing of the bones and cords of' the body was agoniziDg. To see the j frightfullv distorted and emaciated ; remaius of what was once a beautiful i and perfect woman would give only | a partial idea of what Mrs. Bullock j suffered. The lady was thirty-six years old at the time of her death. When thirteen years of age she was a plump girl, at tendant upon the Washburn street school here. One day, with other playmates, she climbed a tree io the neighborhood of school, and was dared to jump from one of the branehbS. This she did, breaking her collar Done and injuring her right knee. A swelling appear ed on the inside of the knee which troubled her more or less as the years advanced. In 1873 medical aid wa3 first called in to treat her for her knee, the pain from which had grown to be quite severe, she having caught cold iu the membar while skating. She married iu 1874. Some years later her bones begftn to stiffen aud aud trouble her some. Five years ago the joints became hardened and ossified and she was helpless. Her teeth were all drawn out from the upper jaw and both jaws set. Physicians inserted a piece of thin wood between the lower set of teeth and the gums to keep the teeth from injuring them. It was about three months after the first appearance of the rigidity of tie bones before the body was completely affected. Her health was completely undermined, and the last five years she has been tailing gradually from day to day. The effect can he realized when from a strong, health iu! woman weighing 108 pounds she faded away to almost a mere skeleton weighing only thirty pounds when sbi died. Her joints not only hardened but the cords of the body contracted aud drew them into all manner of shapes. The hip joint oil the right side was completely out *>f the socket, and protruded frightfully. The left limb was drawn out ot shape, as were the hand and head. She subsisted on food prepared for her. She fed herself. A tooth in the lower inet being removed to admit the uourisament. Her right, hand was motionless, but her left she was able to guide a little. She was thus ena bled TO write some. She read easily talk'*! readily to the timo of her death. F*jr the past three years Mrs. Bul locfc resided with her father in this city She was patient and never was ka'>wn to complain: The only simi- Jai case, and then i*. was not such a markod degree as this, is that or Jon athan Bass, the ossified man, of Lew iston, this county. Bass is perfectly rigid, but has not the contraction of hisjoints. Mrs. Bullock's disease is called chalky gout and chalky rheum atism, and many other names per taining to diseases of the bone. Children's Eodies Petrified. PITTSBURG, April 27. —Elizabeth, Allegheny County, has a cemetery the ground iu which has peculiar qualities for the petrification of bodies interred in it. During the past few years several disinterments have been made in the cemetery, a»« in every instance the bodies were found in dif ferent stages of petrifaction. Some were entirely turned to solid stone. In others the process was yet incom plete. A few days ago the remains of two children «if A. B. O'Neil were exhum ed for rft uoval to another cemetery. The body of the younger child, who was '£ v«;ars old when he <iied and had bee'i buried seven years, was en tirely petrified and the features, limbs and body wero as well preserved as if they had been chiseled from marble. The older child, who had b«-<en three years buried, was partially ..urned to stone, and those portions not. yet pet rified showed no signs of deiey. The body of the younger child was acci dentally tapped with a hammer and it gave forth a clear metallic ring. The ground is a stiff, yeJow clay 1 thoroughly saturated with water. A Sign of the Time?. Taken as a general thing, the true prosperity of town cr city is most surely indicated by thtr success of its business houses In fact, it would be difficult to con ceive of a flourishing >owu or city iu which the wide awake merchant does not prosper and vice versa a town or city with thriving business men and houses must be a prosperous place it self. Hence iu the pawing of a SIOOO soda fountain in oi*n of her drug Btotes. Butler has re isou to congratu late herself and to lay claim to being a thrifty and prosperous town—or city if you please,—with enterprizing business men. Some time ago we noted the opening ot C. X. Boyd's Drug Store and gave a description of it which then was as handsome a store as you coul*l fiuu anywhere, but by continual effect be has been beau tifying it con9 u autly aud the fiual poiut was reached the other day when the new fouutain was put in po sition It was designed under Mr. Boyd's directions and is certainly as handsome a fountain as cau be fouud anywhere. Standir.g over ton feet high, aud weighing over a ton. it is constructed of marbles brought from seven differ ent par.H of the world. The lront is of Genoa Green Marblo, and very handsome it looks with its exquisite finish und elegant tint. Red Tennes see uvirble i 3 what the sides ure and its curiously mottled texture serves well to show off the quieter beauty of the black marble base. The coping is also of black marble aud on it, like the base, ure gilded lines, contrasting with, and bringing out well, the deep and rich tone of the stone. Black marble pillars support a can opy of Bardillo aud Urvotte marble, -—in the centre of which is a plate of Mexican ouyx serving as a base lor the name plate of silver. Below is a large Plate Glass mir ror surro ended by Tennessee marble. At the bane are twelve syrnp faucets aud inside a dozen corresponding jars all of glaas, from which come the fla vors, of Mr. Boyd's own make, which give the agreeable taste to the soda water. Above are three larger fau cets, one for soda water, the others for different kinds of mineral waters. Nearby stands the water fountaiu and tumbler washer. By a neat and very ingenious method the tumblers, revolving on a stand, are subjected to a continual spray from above and below, which results in the tumblers always being sweet and clean. That the fountain is being appreciated is' evinced by the continual crowd of people around it these warm days On last Saturday, it took the uuited attention of Mr. Buyd aud oue of his clerks to attend to the wants of the thirsty It is a matter of satisfaction to ijveryore to know tbat Mr. Boyd makes every thing used in his fouu taiu, from alpha to omega, and all of the verv best and purest materials, resyardless of cost. Mr Boyd belives iu giving nothiug but the best, and we l>elieve that anything purchased at his store is as pure as can be got ten. This tolls on the public, too, as bis trade shows and its a tribute to the intelligence of the people. A man may,as a matter of economy, purchase a cheap suit of clothes, or shoes, but when it comes to drugs and chemi cals he wisely considers that the best policy is to "get the perfectly pure. He naturally goes to the place where he has most reason to expect these and where the testimony of many others insures careful treatment, and reasonable prices. Since everyone must, at some time or other buy drugs we respectfully submit the fact that it would he to your interest to begin dealing at Boyd's right away. If you don't want drugs, and do want a glass of wda water there is the piace to get it, but we would confidently inform you tbat it won't benefit you a parti te, to give the clerk a wiuk before telling him you will take vanilla in yours. April Oil Report. The oil report for April shows that the great shut-down has almost en tirely cut off drilling operations. Onlv fifty wells were completed in the the oil fields of Pennsylvania and J New York, twenty of which were dry j aoles. This is a remarkable showing ' 'or the 9pring time. The production ; >f the new wells is only 519 barrels a lay. For May the showing will he sven less, as many of the wells now 1 killing iu the Washington and i Danonsburg districts will lie shut in )r added to the steadily-growing list )f the Producers' Protective Associa tion. The shutdown will end Novem oer 1, but it will continue by consent )f all parties concerned tor one year rom that date, by which time it is ;xpected thet the great surplus stock >n hand will be wiped out aud the aroductiou will be about equal to the iaily consumption. At the close of the month twenty jeven were standing and fifty line wells were drilling. Many of these wells are drilling for gas and several will be altogether shut down. The prospect for better prices is im proving every hour. Grade Colt for Sale. I offer for sale my three-quarter Clyde colt. Sho is two years old aud will make a good breeding mare.
