The New Oil Field.
Considerable money has lately been chang
ing hands in Clinton and Middlesex town
ships,:
B ides the Butchers' well near Bakers
town, the Gufi'ey well on the Gold farm in
the S. E. corner of Middlesex twp., and the
Vandergrii. & Co. well on the Tom Mont
gome./ farm, in West Deer twp., Allegheny
Co., which adjoius Clinton twp. in this coun
ty, are, or were supposed to be, good wells,
and were reported to have spouted before be
ing plugged, and many of the farms lying
between tbem and the Saxon field have been
leased at from to SIOO an acre bonus and
f-a eighth royalty.
We heard ot seyeral farmers of that vicin
ity getting big money down and also of one
who owned three or four hundred acre-, but
who couldn't read, getting badly ler..
He thought he would be safe in lea-ing one
hundred acres to a firm that agreed to com
plete a well in three months, so as t> devel
op the balance of his fai u, but he could not
read, au Ibis child who read the Co
him, missed the part making the lease bind
ing for a year, aud also the part lea?iog all
he owned, uud also a hundred -eres that his
wife had 21 interest iu, at simply an eighth
royalty and no bonus.
If the reported deMption is trus the lease
is no good.

Fire in Parker Twp.
The bouca of Ex. Couuty Commis
sioner J. M Turner,in Parker tp., was
destroyed by fire last Friday under
peculiar circumstances
The family were all away on a vis
it, and Mr. Turner returned alone
that afternoon aud proceeded to his
room on the ground floor, where he
chauged his clothing, putting on an
everyday suit, aad then went to his
porch : lit his pipe aud bjgan smoking.
lie was soon after startled by a
crackling noise iuside the house, aud
going in found the entire interior in
flames, and he was able to only save
a trifling article or two, before being
forced to leave the house. His only
theory of the origin of the fire is that
he stepped upon a match while
changing his clothing. The loss of
his Ijonse and household goods, with
no insurance, is a heavy biow to hiw-
Presbyterian Church Improve
ment.
The seats of the Presbyterian
church room of this town have been
taken up and piled iu the center of the
room, the carpet taken up, and scaf
folding erected, up >n which the fres
coera are now at work
Ali the seats have been taken from
the Sunday School room. A new
floor will be put in this room, and the
partitions between it and ..the two
north-end rooms out out and replaced
by sliding doors and the room will be
frescoed. The pulpit also, will be
changed to the South side of the room
near the entrance, and the seats will
tj made to face the south. These,
with new chandeliers in the church
room, some new windows and new
carpets will constitute the improve
ments, and will cost about "§ 1 fjOO.

The "Fourth" of 'BB.
The Fourth of July for this year
was a rather unusual day, and its
principal feature was the most tre
mendous downpour of rain that we
have had this season. This occurred
shortly after one o'clock, and was fol
lowed later in the afternoon by other
rains, which interfered with the ball
games and picnics that were on the
schedule.
The morning, however, was clear
and fair; there were a good many
people in town, and the parade wa3 a
success, though tho "fantastic" part
of it was not so large as usual.
The evening fireworts were the
best we have ever had in Butler, aud
were very creditable to the youug
men who took charge of that part of
the celebration. The youug people
crowded the Diamond and their fre
quent applause showed their appreci
ation of the entertainment.
There is no American with soul so
dead that the recurrence of The Day
we Celebrate is to him a matter of in
difference.
Since the 4th of July, 177G, the
day of the Declaration of Independ
encj, the struggling thirteen colonies
have growu into a large aud rich, aud
therefore powerful Xation.and repub
licanism from being an experiment
has become a fixed fact. We believe
that republicanism represents the
only proper distribution of tho politi
cal power, and developes the best
, i|ualities of the human character, and
to pry that idea out of this Xation at
present, would l>e a human imposi
sibility.
NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
At Kittanning last Friday, the par
ties charged with procuring an abor
tion had a hearing. and Forest aud
his wife were discharged, but Dr.
Thomas was held over for trial. This
decision was a great surprise to the
public, as it was fully expected all
parlies concerned would bo discharged
aud the matter dropped, but now the
case will be carried to the next court
and very likely end badly for Forest
aud wife, v.a well as for l>r. Thomas.
The lawyers of Kittanaing will
close their ofii -es during the month of
July.
The value of a handsome and

incident at Larcumont, Westchester
county, X. Y., a few day aaro
Michael J. Dailey stole five hun irei
dollars from his lather's truuk to de
fray his wedding expenses. Tha father
had him arrested, b'lt when the old
man saw the b'ide he relented aud
withdrew the prosecution
Au East Liverpool, O , man drop
ped dead on JSunday. He had been
drinking continually for six weeks,
and in that time had consumed 43
gallons of whisky. We may look for
the usual resolutions of regret over
Samuel and submission to a "myi-t}--
ious dispensation of Divine Provi
dence.
Maud Suuder, aged fifteen, Sirah
Ilensel, aged fourteen, and Juuie
Rufl'uer, tiged eleven, of Madeira,
Clearfield county, were drowned in
dam on the Clearfield creek
near that place on Monday afternoon
Xothing is positively kaowu of the
drowning, but it is supposed the pirls
went in bathing aod that one of them
got beyond her depth and the others
perished in attempting to render as
sistance.
While Mr. Stevens and his little
five-year-old daughtsr were crossing
a very high bridge over E!k run, near
New Galilee, Beaver county, on Wed
nesday of last week, the child became
light headed and fell between the ties
to the ground below, a distance of
about one hundred teet. Her terror
stricken father hastened off the bridge
and down the embankment, expecting
to find nothing but the mangled re
mains of his child on the rocks below.
But on picking up the child she was
fouud uninjured excepting a slight
bruise on her shoulder. She was in
sensible for some time, but medical
aid was summoned, and she was soon
restored to consciousness. The first
words the poor little one uttered on
coming too, wass "I won't go on
that bridge again." The little one
fell feet fir3t, and her wonderful es
cape from being dashed to pieces, is
attributed to the air inflating her
clothing and breaking tne force of her
fall. The fall is the talk and wonder
of the neighborhood. It was witness
ed by several, who, horror stricken,
ran to the spot, expecting to find the
child crushed to death.
Lightning rod men called on a
prominent fanner near Stone creek,
O . and put up reds for him, taking
his note for $5. A few day after they
left the farmer was iu Canal Dover,
and was th'irc presented with a note
!>y a banker for SSOO. The lightning
forger had raised the not) and the
farmer had it to pay.
An explosion of dynamite occurred
at the park, Wellsville, N. Y , last
week, instantly killing Thomas Pren
tice and Patrick llooney, and serious
ly injurin? Henry Millback. The
men were engaged in destroying old
trees and stumps with dynamite cirt
ridges, when op,e of the cartridges
exploded prematurely. A picnic was
in progress in the park at the time,
and it is miraculous that none were
injured, as several pleasure seekers
were in close proximity when the ae
cideut occurred.
The stable of Jas, Peters at Lanes
ville, near Freeport, was destroyed
by fire last Saturday night. A cow
was cremated and a lot of feed and
hay burned. Mrs. Peters had SBS,
which she put iu a tiucan and hid in
the baru for safe keeping. The money
is gone and a search for the can prov
ed fruitless. The belief is that some
thief stole the money and then set
fire to the stable.
Millions of worms are eating up
the leaves of the phestnqt trees ou
Neversink Mouutaiu, overlooking
Beading.
The Fioyd House at Su-gertowu,
near the famous Eureka mineral
springs, was destroyed by fire last
Friday night. There were 40 guests
in the house. All escaped unhurt.
The furniture 1. longing to the house
was saved, as was also the baggage
belonging to the guests.
A very singular accident, resulting
in loss of life, occurred near
Williamsport, lately. Mrs
Eva Harsch, aged 62
years, got up at 4 o'clock and went
out to the barn to catch some chick
ens. In order to secure the fowls
she had to go into the loft. She
climbed up on a box, and peered
through a crevice in the tfoor. While
in this position the box overturned,
leaving the woman suspended by the
n?ck. Alter hanging two hours the
body was discovered by the husband,
but all efforts at resuscitation proved
fruitless.

there are to be two schools iu Spring
dale, and the B jard is considering the

GYTTYSBLRU, PA , July 2.—The
day has been filled with tb«. dedica
tion of monument*, tbe meetings ot
corps societies, the meetings of old
comrades, long' separated by years
and distance, and the informal as
well as the formal reunions of the
Blue aud the Gray. The Confeder
ates have been moving on the town
in greater numbers than yesterday.
Governor Gordon, of Georgia, and
Governor Fitzhugh L"e, of Virginia,
arrived to day. Mrs. Pickett was ex
peeled, but Bent a telegram of regrets.
The Robert E Lee Camp, of Rich
mond, 150 strong, aud over 100 Unit
ed Veteraus ironi Richmond, also ar
rived this evening, together with a
detachment of vet'runs from At
lanta
At 8 o'clock Sickles' Excelsior Brig
ade, composed of the Seventieth,
Seventy-first, Seventy-second, Sev
enty-third and Seventy-fourth New
York Regiments, met aud held dedi
catox-y exercises over the foundation
of the brigade monument. Themon
ument is unfinished aud only the
foundation is ready. The Rev. C.
11. Buckley, of Howard University,
of Washington, I>. C., chaplain ol
the First Regiment, op.'ded the exer
cises with prayer aud read an origin
al poem, called "Excelsior." Rev.
G 11. Twitchell, of Hartford, deliv
ered the oration. The monument
when completed will consist of a
Doric temple, with a statue of Gener

Later, the Irish Brigade, composed
of the Sixty-third, Sixty-ninth, and
Eigtieth New York Infantry, heard
requiem mass at St. Francis Xavier's
church, and afterwards dedicated
their monument in the wheat field.
This is the brigade that was blessed
and absolved by Father Corby just
before going into battle on this field.
Orations were delivered by several of
the brigade and two poem 3 were
read.
At 3:30 this afurnoon Bishop 31.
►A. DeWolfe, of the Centra! Pennsyl
vania diocese of the Episcopal
Church, laid the corner stone for the
memorial chapel of Gettysburg, to
he known as the "Church of the
Prince of Peace." It will contain in
its walls several memorial tablets,
quite a number having been donated
within the past few years. The site
is at the corner of Baltimore and
High streets, and is very conspicu
ous. Hon. Wra. McLean, presiding
Judge of this judicial district, deliv
ered an historical oratiou, tha Dean
of the Harrisburg Convocation, and
General W. S. Crawford,of the Unitad
States Army, participating in the ex
ercises. Among the monuments ded
icated this morning were the Seven
ty -eigth and One Hundred and Sec
ond jointly; Battery B. First Light
Artillery; Sixty-second, Sixty
fourth, Sixty-seventh, Third Inde
pendent Battery, One Hundred and
Forty-ninth, Fifteenth Independent
Battery, One Hundred and Tenth,
Fortieth, One Huudred and Filth,
Forty-fifth and Fifty-third.
The great event or this secoud
day's anniversary did not hapen un
til lal3 this afternoon. It was the
greit Reunion of the Blue and the
Gray, and it may safely be called the
most impressive, the most hearty and
the most dignified and inspiring of
any of the meetings of survivors of
the war that haye occurred siuce Ap
po.aatox. The place was ihe Na
tional Cemetery, where beueath the
sloping green s\yard, shaded t>y mur
muring trees and dotted with lines of
granite, marked with their names, or
marked with the grim "Unknown,"
so many thousands of the Nation's
dead lie in peaceful sleep.
The actors were the very men who
defended the ridge, on whose slopes
the cemetery lies, against the repeat
ed and desperate assaults led by the
very raen twenty-five years ago this
very day, who joined them here now
in pledges of friendship, loyalty to a
common flag, and unity of devotion
to a common couutry. The place,
scene, aud the living figures of the
men themselves were inspiring.
Thousands of spectators, men who
wore the blue, men who wore the
gray, womeu who toiled and wept at
home, children born since the bloody
struggle ended, looked on and cheer
ed and laughed and wept .by turns.
ON CEMETERY IIILL.
GETTYSBURG, July 3. Before
breakfast this morning about fifty ex-
Confederatss of Parker's Battery call
ed on their old General, Longstreet,
who received them handsomely in an
inforrffal way. Tha members of the
organization spent some hour 3 in the
peach orchard, their command having
been the last of Lee's command to
leave that ground to join the retreat
The Confederates present say that
large numbers of their comrades are
absent on account of the harvest sea
son It is also generally conceded
that as a rule the surviving Confed
erates were too poor financially to
undertake the excursion.
When the hour for today's exercis
es arrived, there were on the rostrum
a number of distinguished persons,
most prominent among whom were
Generals Longstreet, Sickles, Barlow,
Hunt, Gordon and Sbarpe, Gov. Cur
tin, ex-Senator Warner Miller, Lieut.
Gov. llobinson, of New York, presi
ded. After a prayer, he apologized
for the absent of the poet, Air. L" -■
throp, who was detained by illness.
General Horatio King. Secretary of
the Army of the Potomac, read a
portion of the poem in an effective
manner.
Mr. George William Curtis was
then introduced and delivered the or
ation in his usual eloquent style.

! Uniled Presbyterian Missionary
Association.
The annui 1 meeting of the I*. P.
Presbyteriai Missionary Ass eiatioia
was field in the White Oak Spring; -
church o;i Thursday, Juue2Sth, I' 2
of the congregational societies weir
represented, twenty-two delegatis,
' besides many visitors, being present,
j Had the weather been favorable a
1 much larger delegation would have
! been in attendance. The pleasant ,
I church was tastefully dt eorat -d vv to
i dowers, and just the kind of a lunch
: that hungry delegates enjoy w..s eer
| ved by the ladies of tbe Congregation.
No pains were by the women
;in connection with the two societies
of this church to make the meeting
j both pleasant and profitable. The
i aduress of welcome, by Miss Blanche
Brucemer, was beautiful in sentiment
j and expression, and was delivered
: with a modesty and grace ,
; which won the hearts of ail. Mus
i Mamie Frew, ot the Young Ladies'
i Society, of Grove City, responded on I
' behalf of the delegates in a most hap- j
!py aud fitting address. The report
of the Cor. Secretary showed the;
j number of societies in the Presbytery
ito be 19, with a total membership ot
: ;9S. live new societies having been j
j organized during the year. The
| amount contributed for all purposes
j was $ 1,004.03, In addition to this
! a thank offering of S'JO was sent by
! the delegates to the General Mission
ary Convention. This was a chief;
{ feature of the annual meetiug at
Washington. $5,540 having b _n con
tributed for thi* fund, and more will
vet be added. Mrs J. P. Davis,of Par
dee, gave an interesting report of the j
General Meeting, aud answered ques- j
tions on different points as asked by j
the delegates. Miss Laura Shoop, of
Freeport, read an excellent paper on
Mission Bauds, and presented some
new ideas gleaned at the iato meeting
as well as some practical expedience
gained by acting on the suggestions
thus received.
The subject of special work was
then taken up and the Cor. Secretary
announced that, the sum of S2OO had
been pledged. The parsonage f.ind,
in the Home Mission field, and the
Dr. Maiia White Medical Hospital,
in the fjreign field, were recommend
ed as claiming special consideration
The claims of the former were pre
sented in a letter from Mrs. H. C.
Campbell of Allegheny, who is Cor,
Secretary of the Home Mission Board
Extracts were read from the annual
report, setting forth the urgeut need
of funds for the Medical Hospital.
This work is under the care of Dr.
Maria White, who went out from this
Presbytery two years ago. Her work
ha 3 been rewarded with wonderful
success, and she makes an earnest
appeal for help in carrying on this
work. On motion it decided to
appropriate SIOO of the amount to the
Los Angeles parsonage fund aud the
remaining SIOO, with all that may be
added to it, to the Medical Hospital
of India. Miss Emma D. Anderson,
who has this month returned from In
dia, spoke most earnestly of Dr.
White's work aud the need of funds
to enlarge the hospital aud provide
helpers, Miss Anderson who has
spent seven years in : India and is a
teacher in the girls' school there,
made the audres3 ol the evening,
which was listened to with the clos
est attention. After the address Miss
Anderson gave an informal talk ou
manners and costumes, cooking uten
sils, images, &e. which was highly
appreciated by the audience.
The next meeting of the association
j will be held in llarrisville, aud the
following are the officers for the year:
President, Mrs. J. A Clark, Prospect:
Vice President, Mrs. J. P. Davis, j
Pardoe; Corresponding Secretary, ;

The New Pension Law.
The new ret of Congress is now
in full force and effect providing that
pensions heretofore or hereafter grant
ed to widows of soldiers of the war
of the re'ollion shall commence at
the da f 3 of the death of their hus
bands, This legislation favorably af
fects all claims of widows of the late
war, which have been filed in the
Pension office on or after July 1,
1880, and which have been allowed
to commence from the date of the
filing of claims, but will not lavora
bly affect the cases of such widows
as were filed before .July I, 18S0, and
have been allowed, pensions having
already been granted to those cases
,rom the date of their husband's
death. The Commissioner of Pen- j
sions gives notice that in settlement
under this law of claims already al
lowed, no formal application will be
required and that the services of at
torneys will not be necessary.
Widows entitled to pensions under
said law need only write a letter giv
ing their name, post office address aud
certificate number, aud their claims
will bo allowed with as little delay as
practicable.

en into by persons yet unknown, who

ket aud whip, aud drove off, first go

Get Thin Clothing
To Fit.
We're only on the edge of
i summer. W hat will the mid
dle be without Thin Clothing ?
We anticipate a strong trade
in such goods. Our stock is
equipped tor it. In the whole
round oi' Thin Goods there
! isn't one worthy quality that
I we haven't. Serges, Seer
suckers, Alphas, and to Of
(ice Coats as low in price as
are worth having.
Isn't this as good a time as
any to get reliable goods when
they're to be got? J. N, PAT
TERSON never relaxes his
purpose to have the best. We
haven't any that we can't en
dorse as the best oi their
class.
Suppose Thin Clothing
does cost less. That its cost
is but a trifle. Mayn't you
as well have the best: and
comfort for weeks and weeks?
Get Thin Clothing that fits.
Plenty of it is just thrown to
gether. Too mean to sell.
Slim money's worth: slimmer
comfort. We'll give you Thin
Goods to tit.
We're getting a big sum
mer trade now. It'll increase
as the goodness of our Tim
Clothing gets found out.
So don't forget J. N. PAT
