It is said to l>e a fact that a few days ago a team of horses fell in the main street and were drowned in the mud before they could bo rescued. —Boys who spend their evenings at home with plenty of newspapors and wholesomo books arc the ones most likely to be wanted in the future by the business men in shops of all trades.

When the act was first pa ed in 1885 it imposed a tax of three mills on every manufacturing corporation in Pennsylvania. In 1889, through the pressure brought to hear l»v manufactur ing corporations, the law was amended as described above. —"I wish," said an old citizen, "that everybody knew what a grand thing var nish is for a burn. It would save a mighty sight of needless suffering. If any one who is burned will immediately apply a coating of common varnish to the injured parts, in will not only allay the pain al most instantly, but will cause it to heal tip withont a scar." The important thing in treating a burn is to keep it from the air, and the varnish furnishes a new and itn pervious coating for the skin which has been injured. New Corporation Officers.

Oil Field Notes. ' There's this much to encourage t!io-e Who are forever trying: They go on the hypothesis: "We'll hit sometimes just as we miss: For woe must alternate with bliss. And jubilee with sighing." Operators whose stocks of experience at present exceed those of their oil should lind considerable consolation in the above lines. The pipe line report for last month shows but eleven million barrels of Penn'a. oil above ground, the excess of present consumption over present production i put at <>40,000 per month, and if the condi tions do not change the stocki above ground will be exhausted in le s than gov enteen months. The incessant rains and terrible condi tion of the roads have made the delivery of materials almost impossible of late, and there is but little new in the oil field.

Sugar Creek township, Venango county, comes to the front, with a claim of having the most varied assortment of-the greasy stuff, li is not generally known or credited, but it is a fact that six different grades of oil are found within the borders of that township. There is quite a prodnction of what is known as Franklin heavy oil. which sells at $3.G5 per barrel. There is a slightly in ferior grade, known as "front" oil, which commands $2.K5 per barreljal o still a more inferior quality which sells for only $1.25 per barrel.

Then in difierent parts of the township there is a number of second and third sand wells, and a few which puiup oil from the gray sand. Public Sales.

The late Mr. Daniel McCiuty, un fortunate end wo chronicled a few weeks ago, still lives in the hearts of his country men, ami nowhere has the public mind so occupied itself with thoughts of him as in Butler.

"Eor why I sell him no more' Who ees ■Si < MeGintyf" '•That's your business to watch that." said Korn. as he left. The next day a crowd of the hiiy i came around and started on Imbiber.

"Eggy" Couroy and Alex ander Eillaiu. The last named i the only ono in custody. There was to have been a family path eriug at the home of l'icknev Lowe, who i l.o; of tin- Philadelphia and Heading round-house, iu Allentown, on Thursday, llis wife, who was (52 years of age, hail about completed roasting a turkey and removed it from tin* oven. In order lo see whether it wa • properly cooked she cut off a piece of lileut and ate it. 11l swallowing it it became lodged iu her throat, and when two of her daughters a few moments later Were attracted to the kitchen by a peculiar noise they found their inothei choking to death They pounded her violently on the back and dislodged the meal, hut ihei. followed profuse l.etn oirhages and death readied in hall an hour. Aimer Mitchell, one of the leading farm ers of Erie eouiity. while walking on the railroad track with his head enveloped in a mulller, did not hear an approaching train, which -truck and killed hnu. At L'ittston there is a man who says he wa never ill a minute, lie expla.ua his good health by the fact that his mother sewed a rabbit's paw in his clothing when he was a bab\, ami lie has never been without it on his person since. A will was probated in the Orphans' Court of Mercer county a lew days ago in which the te. tutor after making the ordinary bequests, entered into a lengthy theological di:.cu.i .-ion concerning certain biblical mill ters, profes: ing his entire di belief iu the liny of the wlmb- mid Jonah, of Joshua "commanding the snn to staud -liil until lie butchered a few more of his fellow citizens," ot the birth of Chii-t ac cording to the new te-tameut and of many other matters in biblical history. The testator wasevidcutly extremely rad ieal in his theological views, and the will is certainly one of the greatest curiosities in that line on the Court records. Mrs. B of Tarentum, recently visited her relatives in the East and left her little eight-year old daughter at homo in charge of Mr. H and Mary, the servant. When the mother returned the father was out of town for the day, but the little daugh ter detailed all the events of importance that had transpired during her mother's absence, and among other things acquaint ed her mother with the (act that she knew something that she had promised papa not to tell. The mother did lior best to persuade the child to divulge the secret, but. without avail. When the father re turned and entered the room, and alter he bad fondly hi-oil and embraced bis effectiitnate wife, the youngster exclaimed. "Papa, I have told mamma all the news, but I didn't tell her anything about yon kissing Mary." The little rogue was just about as discreet as her papa was, when lie told her to keep mum. Xo amount of explanation on the part of Mr. B could satisfy his wife, and Mary bad to go George Helstein, died lately iu Pitts Imrgh, leaving some property to his heirs. He deserted his wife years ago iu Balti more. Without having been divorced, he subsequently was married to two other women, and had destroyed all documen tary evidence of his first and onl\ legal marriage. The true widow came for word and claimed her right of dower Bel tein sons and executors opposed her claim on the ground that she was never married lo Helstein. and alleging improp er conduct The improper conduct only was pro cd, and Judge Hawking held that a man who deserts bis wife places her in a defenseless position, and that misconduct ou her part i ; a logical conse quence of buch desertion. The dower wa awarded to the deserted and legiti mate will-. In this cose law and justice went hand in hand. Some weeks in*v the e««>al miner- «»f Walston and Adrian, near I'uir. utawuey went »nt on a strike.
