There will be a meeting of the Merch ants 011 Monday evening next at Miller's Hall at 8 o'clock to make arrangements for the M.irebants' Second Annual Picnic. W. H. RITTKR, Pres. O. W11.."0N MILLER, Sec. "Oh, Come to the Old Oak Tree." It happened this way: Goncher found it, Greer went for it. i Fleeger sawed it down, Abrams divided it. and Russell "knew it all the time." It was a bee tree, gentle reader, a bee tree in the wood northeast of town, known as the '-Hundred Acres" or -Reservoir Hill," and If. 11. Goncher, Esq., discover ed it thus: Some days ago as he sat on his porch reading, a gentle zephyr blew from the ' Hundred Acres." and a part of this Goncher intercepted, whereupon he be came excited and said: ••Fee. die. too, fum, (or words to that effect), I smell the honey of a bee tree." Ten minutes later he was wildly rushing through the wood, and sure enough there was the bee tree, and an immense one it was. After taking in all the bearings, he retired precipitately on being attacked by about one hundred (100) of the bees. The smell of the honey was so overpowering that he could scarcely force himself to leave. (History is not nearly so clear on this finding of the famous bee tree as we might desire, so we do not wish to go on record as absolutely vouching for the truth of the finding of the bee tree. As to the remain der. we have the full document* in the case, including Goucher's confession. ED.) Goncher then made straightway for the office of Jno. M. Greer, Esq., to whom he divulged the secret. A conference of a few moments decided them upon organizing a company, and Geo. W. Fleeger was call ed. duly sworn, and but hold. Greer says the oath did not appear to "take." and he insisted on re-swearing him in Dutch. Goncher was then elected presi dent. Greer, secretary and treasurer, and Fleeger, committee on constitution and bv-laws. It was decided to take in two more members, and E. E. Abrams and Alex. Uussell were duly elected and sworn in. Committees on uets, axes. saws, boxes, barrels and shipping rates were appointed. Adjourned. Another meeting was held at which much business was transacted, but owing to the fact that secretary Greer lapsed into a state of absent-mindedness in which the most terrible symptoms were shown, such as continually staring in the direction of the "Hundred Acres", smacking his lips, and murmuring, ' O, who would be a bee , all the while unconscious of the presence of the other members, wo are unable to give a report in full, but it was decided to harvest the honey 011 Monday night. On Monday night at 11 o'clock the mem bers appeared in full force in the ravine below tiie wood, armed and equipped, as follows: Goncher; compass, "Hoyle on Bees", constitution and by-laws, seal, riot act. and bee-box. Greer: loaf of bread, big spoon, dog will. Fleeger; cross-cut saw, and file to sharpen, soda. Russell; axe and .">OO empty honey-boxes. Abrams; wheelbarrow, hogshead, torches, pick and shovel, guns, rope, block and tackle, matches. Abrams immediately demanded that Greer relieve him of part of his burden. After much talk Greer took nine matches on condition that Abrams would help him over the rough places. Goucher wanted to know what the loaf of bread was for. and Greer replied, '"to feed the dog," in answer to the question, "What is the dog for?" Greer grew very much excited and wildly wanted to know if they were aware of the fact that the Mohawk Indian was buried up there. Fleeger asked if the bee tree was in the vicinity of the grave, and said it might be better in that case to make the raid in daylight, on account of Greer. Greer disdained the imputation, but want ed to know if it would not be desirable to obtain legal advice in the matter of cutting down bee trees. Fleeger immediately said that he would not move a step towards it till he had asked a lawyer. Goucher asked how long the Indian had been buried, and on being told, announced that the raid would not take place that night, but Abrams aud Kussell declared that they had uot borne their burdens that far for nothing and they would go on, whether the three were afraid to go'or not. The line of march was immediately ta ken up as follows : Abrams, and luggage, Kussell resting on his left flank, and at an interval of fifty feet, Goucher, Greer and Fleeger, in a bunch, surrounded by the dog. Goucher thought it might be less dangerous to close up a little on the front, but it was decided not. And in this order the party reached the apiary, having previously drawn nets over their faces, and placed gloves on their hands. Torches were lit, aud the baggage uulimbcred Fleeger began saw ing, while the rest held their torches up and scanned the tree. Sure enough, up the side could be seen a large, dirty, white uest out of which the bees were be ginning to angrily dart. Greer mounted a stump, and began, ''How doth '> The riot act was read. Fleeger then was beginning to tire and Abrams took his place while Fleeger held the soda. The tree was just about to fall when a frightful yell from Greer turned their attention to hint, lie was lying on a log, in one hand he held a spoon, and in the other the loaf, while on his breast lay his will. He feebly asked Kussell to tell his family that the Presbyterians had done for him. "See that Goueher hangs foi this,'' he shrieked, "see that ho hangs." Goueher was hanging on a limb trying to break the tree down, but be yelled: "1 would'nt make so much fuss over one little bee sting, Greer. Git offen that log and help pull this tree down." The tree cracked and came down with a crash, and Greer was the lirst to the honey. What there was of it was splendid, only there wasn't auy of it, nor sign of bee. Then the wrath of that crowd descended upon Goueher, and they broke up his pret ty bee box, and made a bon-fire of it, and danced a war dance around it. And Grcor and Russell caught him and wanted to execute him indiau fashion —by roasting—but Flecgcr appeased them by singing a comic song, and having Goueher promise never to do it again. Then the corporation gathered up its by laws and implements and went home; but the story got out, and this is why Greer and Goueher had important business out of town the next day, why Kussel carried a ri (le, why Fleeger was perfectly deaf, and why Abraais tackled everybody with, "Now, let me write you a policy in the," etc., etc. Oil Well Notes.

She took the train that afternoon for Columbus, Ohio, and her husband went to the depot with her to see her off. Her husband's name is John Adams; he is a driller of oil wells by occupation and has the reputation of being a quiet, peaceable sort of a man. He was sitting iu the front room of his little cottage, on Kittanniug St.. at about half-past nine last Saturday night, reading, when he was startled by a knock at the door. He opened the door, when a man, a stranger to him, presented himself and asked if "Fauny"' was at home. That made John mad, and he talked ugly to th« stranger and pushed him out of the house. This in turn angered the stranger, who probably did not know that Fanny had a husband, as he was seldom at home, and when John followed him out to the road he fought back, and another man who was with him took part, and it is said that John was getting the worst of it, when he took out his pocket-knife and proceeded to carve the two strangers to the best of his ability. Then the twouien walked,away but they had not gone far until one of them fell from loss of blood, and was assisted by the other to the "West Penn House. A physician was sent for and it was found that Adams' knife had penetrated his body about the breast and stomach six times, and it was thought that he was dying, but his condi tion improved with time, and he was taken to his boarding house. Adams sought a friend and told him of the trouble; the friend advised hiui to give himself up. He did so and is now iu jail awaiting the results of his carving. He broke the blade of his pen-knife dur ing the fuss, and is said to have fretted more about that than the trouble he was in. The wounded man's name is Jacob Bleehle. He is lately from Germany,and is said to have a family there. lie is a wood worker and has lately been wording for I and boarding with Mr. William Siebert. His companion, George Hahn, was also cut about the hands and ribs, but not dan gerously. The Markets. BUTLEIt MARKETS.

Many years ago when we. along with our fellow citizens, were paying $l5O to $250 for a buggy, we conceived the idea that less than SIOO ought to buy a buggy good enough for almost any man. Wo set about investigating the mutter —went to the largest manufactories in the U. S. and made a contract for a full car-load to be made to our order. We had the cash in our pocket, and the result was that the buggies were made and shipped to '.is. Oui neighbors (we lived in Prospect, this county, then) said we made a mistake— that we could not sell them—and we con fess when we did see them all set up in a row we felt a little as though we had an elephant on our hands in a dry summer. Bnt we had good buggies, bought low for cash, and of course we could sell low. It was the tirst time in the history of Butler county that a good buggy could be bought for less than #IOO. In thirty dayswe were out of buggies and another carload on the way. Everybody wanted one of our buggies— the rich man saw thej were good enough for him to ride in and the poor man for the iirst time in his life rejoiced in being able to own a buggy. Just so it went; our bus iness grew, neighbor told neighbor; it spread all over this State and into other States until we found it impossible to car ry on our large business without good ship ping facilities. AVe selected Butler as the place last November. We purchased the old manufacturing establishment formerly conducted by G. C. Roessing ,t Son, on Cunningham street, where we have located permanently, and Butler can boast to-day of having probably'the largest wholesale and retail carriage dealers in the State. We keep in stock everything in the Car riage. Wagon. Cart Harness and Robe line. We have top buggies from S4O up to the very finest hand made work. Carts. sl2 up; harness, $(3 to the very best hand made harness to be lound anywhere, &e. Our success in business we attribnte to our rules first adopted, Xcvcr ii.sk' exhorbitaut prices. Xerer t>iisrcpr<sent. Thus wo have won the good will and confidence of every customer. We say with pride that we have sold hundreds of "buggies on time and never had a man refuse to pay his note on ac count of the article not being as represent ed. This i> remarkable, considering our nine years' business. We have plenty of money: never sell a note. We discount every bill, pay no rent; we give our cus tomers the benefit of all this, and are close cash purchasers. Our large experience gives us a knowledge of the business that can be acquired iu no other way. Come down and see us whether you want to buy or not: it is only a little walk down from Main street and it will pay you well. The members of the company are 8. I>. Martin court and J. M. Leighner.
