Tho late opinion of the Supreme Court regarding tho self-acting forfeiture clauses inserted in many oil and gas leases caused quite a flurry among operators, and barrels of old leases that were supposed to be dead were hunted up and delivered to tho land owners aud receipts taken for them. The gist of tho decisions of the Supremo Court on this point is that tho life or death of a lease containing a self-forfeiture clause depends upon tho acts of the parties con cerned; that the clause of forfeiture was inserted for tho sole benefit of the lessor or land owner; that upon tho default of tho lessee or operator to either begin a well or pay so much moucy, it is optional with the land owner whether tho lease becomes void or whether ho hold the operator for the full term of years or months named in the lease, The aboyc ruling was made in u case taken up from Washington county. The leaHC provided that the operator should be gin a well in 90 day* or pay $250 quarterly, in advance, and if lie did neither the lease was to he null and void, lie did neither and claimed that hit* own action or lack of action annulled the lease, and the land owner brought on it for his money. The Supreme Court decidcH that 110 man can take advantage of bin own wrong or de fault, unJ directed that the Court of Wash ington Co. should enter judgment againnt the operator* for such HUIII an to right and juHtico may belong.

LEGAL NEWS. Court met Monday afternoon with Jadge llazen presiding. The first business attended to was tin' calling over of the jury list, aud hearing those who wished to be excused. The bond of C. F. L. Meyuiston, County Surveyor-elcct, for $5,000 was handed to the Court for examination, and Mr. Me- Quiston was sworn in. The bond of a Co. Surveyor is rather extensive as compared with the business of the office at present, and but few official papers pass through his hands, but there are some papers, such as plots of the surveys of the donation lands that should be in his possession, as at pres ent onr attorneys have to send to Harrisburg for information. A petition for the appointment of Wm. Polhetnus for County Commiowioner was presented to the Court. It was signed by about two dozen persons. In this con nection Judge Ilazen said that no appoint ment would be made until Judge Mc- Michael came on the bench,and that Judge MeMichael was sick that day. The petition of Mr. Hilliard was present ed, asking the Court to order that old county surveys now becoming dim on the dockets be transcribed. Ferd Reibcr, Esq.. asked to be excised as receiver in the Christie-Thompson con troversy over the lease of the Hugh Mc- Clelland farm, and McCandless asked to make a change in the petition which had been presented the preceding Saturday. Aaron Reibcr, Esq., was sworn into office as District Attorney by Clerk Mc- Elvain. Other petitions were presented to Court, a note of which is made below. A jury was then called into the box and the case of Titley vs. Peace, a case in volving the title to a piece of property, on which part of the Millerstown water-works is located, was taken up.

The bride was dressed in a cream surah silk, cut tit train and deeolettc, trimmed in point lace, drap ed in diamonds. She looked unusually beautiful, and the effect was increased by the bridal veil, wh'ch reached to the train of her dress.

Our oil well supply dealers arc now shipping some stuff to I.'cibold and other stations along the P. W. IJ. R. from which it is hauled to the different lields. The road from Butler to Petersville is al most impassable, and the teamsters here are refusing to risk it. A great deal of lumber is being hauled to the Hundred Foot Field from Harmony. As soon as the roads get solid, if that is ever to be again, the array of teams that start out from Butler will be astonishing as an immense amount of stuff is aecumtt luting here. Some twenty new rigs are up on the Burton, Thompson, Ilickey and Kyle farms in Middlesex twp. This field is called the Gold field, and go* its name from the Adam Gold farm on which the first good well there was .--truck. Myoma comes to the front this week with two good weeks; the Associated Pro ducers finished a good well on the Joseph Cashdollar which is rated at 90bbls:andthe South l'enu Co. struck a good one on the Staples, which was rated at ">0 bbls.

The Myoma and Lower Glade run field presents 'l4 wells drilling, K rigs and tim ber in for 7. It is safe to say these figure would be largely augmented by anything like fair roads. In the vicinity of the Cable well there is considerable new work cut out. B. J. llauratty A Co. struck a good pro ducer on the Downing farm, west id' Par ker's Landing, a few days ago. It was do ing 50 barrels a day. On Thursday of last week Thos. Hays tfc Co. struck a flowing well on the Jacob El lenberger farm in Fairview township. They think it will be good for 100 barrels.
