Dad has struck lie.

The BuffAlo Courier tells the following good
one.
The following story is current in Titusyille.
In a neighborhood on the creek lived and L.
bored a son of Vulcan, who. with his limited
means, had barely enough to secure a small
piece of land and to obtain a scanty living for
his rising family. The ideas of his children
had been TAUGHT to shoot but little in any direc-
ton towards knowledge or refinement. and he
little expected to be anything more than the
Village Blacksmith. But when the oil fever
broke cut, learning of the success of his neigh
bors in finding oil, he thought that he might
while away his spare hours in drilling a hole
upon bis own homestead lot; and having tools
convenient, he went to work. and after a few
weeks Of patient industry, was successful in
obtaining a good show of oil. Ii was sOon
nOised about the village, and the blacksmith
was somebody at once. He had Il daughter
who had blossomei into maidenhood al
most unnoticed and unknown. but who now
became more an object of interest to the few
young men in that small community. 1t
at once became a question how to break the
ice OF former indifference. and to secure a favor
able acquaintance with this heiresS of the oil
well. For a while the natural timidity of the
boys kept them aloof; but, at last. one of the
boldest aud best favored among them deter
mined to try his luck, and on n Sunday even
ing. alfred in his best. rcsolutely marched
and offered to escort the damsel home.
Imagine his ehagrin when she, turning upon
him a look of lofty independence that would
have dOns honor TO a Broadway belle, replied
IN language more severe than chastc; Men
sense! yon can't come thatl has sirHeh lie.

Oil Anecdotes,

EIGHT MoRE As DwELvE.-A Dutehman leased
his lands to an Oil Company, last Spring. on
condition of receiving one eighth of the oil
procured. The well proved to be a pretty
good one, and the farmer began to think that
the oil men should give him a better chance,
and ventured t. tell them so. They asked him
what he wanted. He said they ought to give
the One-twelth. The agreement was fnall 4;
made, with the understanding that the Dutch
man was not to tell any one. All went smooth
until the next division day came, when our
friend was early on hand TO see how much bet
ter he would be off under the new bargain
Eleven barrels were rolled to one side for the
oil men, and one for him. This did not suit
him. "How's dish" says he, Il think l vas
to get more as before; by jinks. you make mis-

he formerly got one barrel of every eight, but
1T was his own proposition TO only take one Of
every twelve. This revelation took him back.

The Great Oil Well.

We visited the Hoxie d Wilson Oil Well
an Mecca, on Saturday. Wesaw the oil (which
was the product of eight hours pumping)
measured in the vat, and it was found to be
twenty-fOur barrels of 40 gallons each, and q
fraction; it being at the rate of three barrels
per hour. or seventy two barrels per day. As
the oil SELLS at the wells for25 cents per gal; at
this rate the income of this well would be s720;
per day. That is as probable as publishing a
country newspaper.
