Given the best of weather for a picnic, a splendid place to hold one, every detail arranged for. and a prosperous community eager for a day's outing, and what is the result? A success—of course. The Merchants' picnic was a greater success this year than it was last —tin' weather was more propitious and the grounds were larger. Some think the crowd was not as large as that ol last year, but they should remember that while it had but ten acres to spread over last year this year it had t Up to six p. m. Wednesday sixteen hundjed tickets had been sold at the depot here for the Park, and as at least four hundred moie persons went up that evening, the attend ance from Butler reached two thousand, and those from other points probably swelled the aggregate attendance to six thousand.

Tlie prevailing topic last evening among itil men was what they termed a "high handed outrage" on the part of a gang of thugs at Mars station, on the Pittsburg <$ "Western Railroad, *22 miles from Pittsburg, who tried to take possession of an oil well. J. T. Johnston. ex-Superintendent of the Pittsburg it Western, has been drilling a well in that vicinity, and when the bit struek the sand he shut down and com menced leasing territory in the neighbor hood. lie boarded up the well, but left no one to guard it, and Sunday night a gang of drillers, who were supposed to be in the employ of the Standard, took pos sion of the derrick and proceeded to drill through the sand. Mr. Johnson heard of the affair, and, se curing an athletic assistant from Alle gheny. he went to the well at a late hour on Sunday night and surprised the men at work. A desperate fight ensued, and one of the trespassers was almost beaten to death with a club in the hands of Air. Johnson's ally, and another of the gang was shot, and so badly injured that he had to be car ried oft' the field. Mr. Johnson and his force were victorious and, strange to say. escaped with only a few bruises. The attempt of the marauders was con sidered the boldest piece of business which has occurred for several years, and the pluck and bravery of Mr. Johnson in attacking the gang, which numbered at least a do/en, won for him the admiration of the producers. The names ot the in jured parties could not be learned.—Pitts burg Times of Tuesday. Get Ready for the Fair.

This allows of ingress and egress by the gate on that road and will be a great accommodation to the public. They also have a force of men at work, enlarging and improving the grand stand and other buildings, and add ing to the number of stalls.

Oiu neighbors (we lived in Prospect. this count}', then) said we made a mistake — that we could not sell them—and we con fess when we did see thein all ■-> t up in a row we felt a. little as though we had an elephant on our hands in a dry summer, lint we had good buggies, bought low for cash, and of course we could sell low. It was the first time in the history of 1 Sutler county that a good buggy could be bought for less than slim). In thirty days wo were out of haggles and another carload on the v.ny. Evrryiiody wanted one of onr buggies— the rich man saw thet were good enough for him to ride in and the poor man for the first time in hi.s life rejoiced in being able to own a buggy. Just so it went: our has in ess grew, neighbor told neighbor; it prcad all over thi-State and into other States until we found it impossible to tar ry ni our large business without good ship ping facilities.
