Upon the lap of earth the trees
Their withered leaves are sowing;
And as they fall we ask the breeze,
"Oh, whither are they goingt"
The breeze through each forest aisle
In saddest tones is grieving;
And leaves are gently falling while
The fall is gently leaving.

The reporter of the Derrick says that the
Hy Banson well on the J. L. Beatty farm,
near Hilliards, has no oil in the hole and
will not be shot. He says, "The second
san 1 was found at a depth of 1,030 teet and
was 56 feet deep. The first 14 feet was
loose and pebbly and contained some oil.
The remainder of the 56 feet was hard and
close. The third or Byrom Centre sand
was fonnd at a depth of 1,180 feet, and was
ten feet thick and of a dark slaty nature,
with no traces o! oil. They are now dril
ling at a depth of 1,240 feet, and will drill
15 feet deeper, and if nothing is fonnd the
hole will be abandoned. Tne explosives
were on the ground, but the owner thinks
her not worth shooting, and has had the
glycerine removed. There is no demand
for leases at SSO, SIOO or SIOOO an acre, or
any other price. The present owner of the
well just mentioned will sell it and the
lease for a hundereA dollars. The well,
like many other ventures in and around
II illiard's Mills, is a failure."

The State Supreme Court has teversed
the case of Veon vs Craton, taken up from
Venango Co. on the grounds that the suit
for damages should have been brought by
the son. who was of agp.and not the father.
Young Veon was injured on the track of
the A. Y. R R. near Emlenton so as to
necessitate the amputation of one leg and
part of the foot of the other leg. The
lather nursed him and paid for his medical
attention until he recovered. The suit
was then brought by him in which he
alleged that he was aggrieved by the act
of the defendant, and claimed damages for
the injuries sustained by his son. "The
only question in this case," the court says,
"is whether or not George S. Veon. the
plaintiff, who is the father of M. 11. Veon.
is a person 'aggrieved!' or is a person who
hath sustained an injury to person or pro
perty iu consequence of the defendant's
'•ritr.inal act, within the meaning of the
a<t of 1854. A person aggrieved must
necessarily be one who ha* suffered an
injary to person or property. The term
property nas not been construed in its
strict or literal sense. However, it has
been held to embrace the .pecuniary in
terest which a wife has in the life of her
husband and therefore a widow is entitl
ed tn recover for the death of her buiband.
But even Ibe widow has no right of action,
at law or by statute, except for injuries to
her person or her property or for her hus
band's death or under some circumstances,
prelaps. for the death of a child. The
reasoii for this is obvious. During the life
time of her husband the right of action is
in him. A recovery by both at separate
suits was never contemplated. M. H. Veon
was 25 years old and if there is any right
of recovery for the injuries it would seem
to be in the son. If the son bad been a
minor his father might perhaps have
sustained a suit for loss of bis services.
The money was voluntarily laid out by
his father, and is a loss to be sustained by
him.''
SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
The Supreme Court sitting at Pittsburg

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
Diphtheria is reported to be epidemic in
Wilkinsburg, Allegheny Co.
A farmer named Jlatliias near Madison,
Westmoreland Co. lost -1 ?heep last Satur
day night. A neighbor met the chap
driving them away but did not suspect
anything wrong at the time.
A misplaced switch sent a train of load
ed coal car* throngh a hotel at Huntingdon
last Thursday night, and the guests rushed
to the street in their night clothes.
The Parker J'lianix says that a rambo
apple tree on the farm ol James Martin, on
Jack's run, in Ross twp., Armstrong Co.,
it loaded down with blossoms which came
out some few days ago and is the wonder
of the entire neighborhood.
In the East End, Pittsburg, there is a
fashionable sowing society that meets once
a week, and during its last meeting the
hu-band of one of its members dropped in.
j took the chair offered him, and then took a
pair of old stockings out of his pocket and
darned away at them till the ladies ordered
him out of the house.
The Seventy eighth regiment held their
eighth annual reunion in Kittanning last
week. Over 100 of the survivors were in
attendance, who, with their friends, com
fortably filled the Court House at the re
ception held in the afternoon. The pro
gramme consisted of reading of letters of
regret from absent members and interest
ing impromptu addresses by many of the
comrades present. The committee on the
•Sirwell monument made a report showing :
an indebtedness of S2O which was qnickh j
subscribed by the members present to
gether with a considerable snrplus which
was voted lo the family of their late colo j
cel. A largely attended camp lire was I
held in the evening.
Farmer Owen Graff, of Quakertown,
Bncks comity, last a haystack of fifteen
tons mi W ednerday by a gunner shooting
into it accidentally and setting it on fire.
The people of Youngstown 0. are excited
over the report that a syndicate of English
capitalists has purchased eight of their
rolling mills for four million dollars.
-Ake Miller, of Oneida township. Hunt
ingdon county, saw three deer in his corn
field one day last week. He got his gun
and succeeded in shooting one ot them.
The anti-lottery law passed by the recent
Congress proves te be a very tight fit. It
excludes from the mail everything in the
shape of games or schemes that depend on
chance. Last week the entire edition of
the Ft. Wayne Journal was thrown out of
the mails by the postmaster because the
paper published an account of a Catholic
church fair, which contained a list of the
numbers which had drawn prizes. Another
paper was stopped because it contained a
short item in regard to "'chancing off" a
sofa pillow.
It is said that the farmers of Mercer
county are going th start a paper of their
own at Mercer. The Cochranton Times is
is of the opinion that they can get rid ot
the net proceeds of their sarplus crops
about as surely by starting a newspaper in
a field already filled as they can by signing
papers for strangers.
County Controller Speer of Allegheny
Co. last week, reiused to approve the bill
of Theresa Teets fur $305 for witness fees
The woman was a witness in the Killen
murder case and was committed to jail bj
the coroner pending the trial of the eaae
She war- in jail 305 days, and according to
custom presented a bill for a $1 a day tor
the lime, she was imprisoned Judge Whire
followed precedent by approving her bill.
•Vhen it was presented to Controller Speer
lie took a new course and declined to
authorize the payment. He said there was
no law to authorize the payment of such
bills and referred to a decision of Judge
IT ickham of Beaver county in a similar
ease. In this decision it was held that
witnesses for the Commonwealth who
eould not luroish bail ..>r their appearance
were not entitled to pay for the time they
were iu jail. The present ease will pro
eably be taken to the court for a decision
which will serve as a rule for the future.
George Fngtindas of Franklin; who was
well kcowii iu this county, was found dead
iu an outhouse at Sample's Station, Mon
day.
There has been a startling exposure of
official corruption in the Commissioners'
offiee of Clinton county. That.county lost
heavily ir. bridges by the great flood of
Jnne, 1889, and it is alleged that the Coun
ty Commissioners, in making contracts for
new bridges, were guilty of collusion with
the builders and paid over $24,000 lor
work that actually cost only $4,000; yet
this in only of the investiga
tion. The Commissioners held secret ses
sions in awarding the bridge contracts, and
it is darkly hinted that they received a
portion of the ••boodle." T. C. Hippie,
Esq., attorney for the Commissioners, re
signed his position in disgust because the
officials ignored his protests aud treated
him with contempt. It is stated that steps
are being taken for the criminal prosecu
tion of the Commissioners, two of whom
are Democrats and one a Republican.
