OIL VOTES. THE MARKETS— On Monday last borh agencies advanced the price two cents on credit balance, and we had dollar oil for the first time in two years, and remains at that point. Cow RUN—The Derrick of last Sat urday said a prominent oil operator came up from Parkersburg, W. Va., to day and while in the lower South west said he had visited the Cow Rnn sand developement below Williains town When asked if their was any excitement down that way, he said that it could be called "Excitement." Why they are (laying $75 an acre bonus and quarter royalty and falling over one an other to get it at such unwarranted terms It is inexpensive territory to operate, owing to the shallow depth at which the oil is found. The operator referred to said the leases were cut up into small patches and the wells would be drilled right up against the lines. There is a well now starting within :50 feet of the one completed a few days ago on the Johnson farm. Only those in his opinion, holding leases of some size would make any money in Cow Run sand developement.

Fellow Citizens: Now, that the sweet angel of peace has spread heT white wings over our fair nation: and the crops were all good ana are safely gernered. would it not be a capital idea for us ?.ll to celebrate and have a jolly good time —and if that is the general feeling—why not all take in the "Big Butler Fair"-have a comity reunion indeed. Every person in this connty can find something at the Fair to instruct, interest and entertain them, besides the social part of it meeting old friends and making new acquain tances, etc., and right in this connec tion I must say that in no connty in Pennsylvania will there be found a fair ground like ours—either in size or pleasantness of location and arrange ments, and the order is always or the very best.
