Last week a county fair was held at Un

opportunity for a courageous aud vigorous

partory sojourn in Oil City will enable tho
unfortunates to shuffle off the mortal coil
with but little shock. The plunge from

waste water into the cellar, an.l the cellar
overflows and annoys the neighbors; then
some "ancient" water closets iu the rear
of the lratr.e block facing W. Jefferson,
near Main, were referred to, and other nui
sances, and the whole matter was discuss
ed, and the Sec'y was instructed to notify
everybody owning sewered lots to make
their connections immediately, and a com
mittee was appointed to make a tour of
the town. There is too much sickness iu the
town at present and this pollution of the
air may be the cause of part of it.
Mr. Ott, one of the sewer contractors,
wanted the balance of his money, some
three thousand dollars, but as the money
has not been collected he could not get it,
though the .Secy and Engineer were in
structed to make him a statement of what
was due him, for use in bank.
Mr. Osborne was paid #2,00!) on work

Court could issue a mandamus on ths P.
it \Y r . R. 11. Co. to rebuild that overhead
bridge, or that the Council could build it
and collect from the R. R. Co., also that
the power of councils to require R. R. Cos.

On Monday morning of this week Owen I
Brady made an a.-signinent to L. M. Wise,
Esq. of this town, for the benefit of his
creditors.
Cashier lloyt wa- iu Cleveland and
Pittsburg, during the past few days and
stated to a Pittsbu rg reporter that he had
secured ample funds to tide over the
financial difficulty, and if that is tho caso
the confidence of the community will soon
be restored.
Didn't Elope.
Young .Nick Brell was in Youngstown,
0., a few days ago, and he told the police
there, that ho was looking for his mother,
who had drawn S3OOO from a Butler bank,
and had then gono off with a man named
Woods, a stranger who has lately keen
about Reibold.
Mrs. Brell was iu Butler, Wednesday,
and she was iu anything but a good humor
regarding the story thus set afloat. Sho
says she went to Cleveland, 0., to have
the bullet her husband fired into her cut
out, that sho read the account of her elope
ment while waiting in tho doctor's office,
that there was no truth in it whatever,
that she drew no money from the Butler
bank, and that the money she went to
Cleveland with was obtained from the salo
ol a horse, and that sho can only account
for N'ick's remarkable story abont his own
mother by supposing he was drunk, as he
has not been behaving himself well of late.
