CoPPERHEADIsa AT BARTON LANDING."-
Friend Earle,--I was not little amused at the
article in your paper of last week, headed as
above. l CHANGED to be an observer of the pro-
cecdings referred to by Onion" So the cop
perheads superintendent the affair." did they -
And the anvil never spoke so cloud as when
loaded with copperhead POWDER" Too true
too true. 1t shrieked at the base insult! it
groaned under Its severe labors to disgorge the
dose given by its traitor managers And then
comprehend voices joined in the loud hurrah,"
did they Wonderful Your shouts NOW
can never drown the echoes of the many bitter
words spoken in the sorowGul past. You can
never gloss over your past reputation for dis
loyalty by such shallow means. The Union
people here have too sharp memories for that.
Shame upon you-to thus out,oardly eXult over
the sad fortunes of your fallen chief! Brave
men! magnanimous reptiles Your brave can
nonOer stood by his gun like a true born hero !;
and when the word was passed along the dense
mass of copperheads to stand by your piece,
you never wavered, you never faltered; you
were not scared bit You stood up straight
and immovabe as It" Wal of fire." The val
liant copperheads resident here of course re-
member the good old nursery rhyme, how
"Litte Jack Horner

He stuck in his thumb
And hauled ont plum,
And said what brave boy am !"
This sort of chivalry is not yet extinct; for
proof the reader is referred to the copperhead
celebration in this place.
Your very brilliant correspondent has proba.

wife who while in bed one night were awakened
by terrible noise in their hog pen; they rush
cd TO the sty to see what the trouble was, when

the inmates Of the pen. The wife joined in the
mortal conflict; the husband rushed to the hut
with the copperhead flag streaming in the wind
rushed up stairs and pulled the ladder up after
him! The wife fought the bear and killed him
When she returned to the house her heroic hall
jumped down stairs and clasping her in his EN-.

, glee, ooh, didn't WE do that nice !" So it is
now, the brave loyal men land women too) Of

OIL NEWS.
Hews from PitbOIe-The Homestead
well ceasea Flowing.

The Pittsburgh Commercial states
that the Homestead well, on the Hiner
Farm, Pithole Creek, has ceased to
flow. The Homestead is one of the
Oldest wells on Pithole creek, being the
second large well struck in that highly fs-
vored locality. 1t has flowed with great
regularity at the rate of FIVE hum
dred barrels per day for the past elk
months. It ID owned by q Boston COM
pan No. 10, on the Holmden farm, is
now reported to be in excess OF the United
States in its most palmy days, yielding at
the rate of 1000 barrels per day. Many
wells on Pithole are at q depth that will
soon determine their value, and we look
daily for exciting and stirring news from
that quarter.
AS illustrating the rapid rise of property
at Plthole, it is stated that John Warren,
of Buffalo, now q resident of Flushing,
Long Island, in autumn last paid one
hundred dollars for ten acres of land
on PIthole. In the winter he received in
cash, for the same ten acres, twenty-seven
thousand dollars. From another one hun
dred dollars he received one hundred and
forty-fve thousand dollars, and from nine
hundred he received one hundred and forty
three thousand dollars. A choice half. acre
lease, No. Is Holmden, adjoining No. 10
on which is the Grant well, was sold las
week for a bonus of sixteen thousand hVE
hundred dollars. The holders of the lease
Messrs. Curtis, Adams s. Ogden, of Penn
Yam, N. Y, paid eleven hundred dollar
for the same lease in the spring-a fair IN
terest on the money invested.

Cherry Run Region.

A housewife correspondent, under date
of August 2sth, says: There is quite an
excitement here this morning in conse-
quence of a three hlndred barrel well, be-
longing to the Champion Oil Company,
having been struck yesterday. 1t is about
half q mile up Cherry Run, within nifty
yards of the Sucker State well, and It bios
fair to surpass that well not only in guam
tity but quality of oil The well No. l,
belonging 10 the Housewife Oil Company
is doing well since the Chesher well has
started up. It is producing about seven
barrels while the No. 1, Chesher, is yield
ing about twenty barrels. since the late
strike on Cherry Run several old we'll
have been started up. One of them is the
Hatch we'll, 3 little below Plummer, which
is pumping ten barrels per day. The ReGc
we'll is pumping but fifteen barrels. The
new wells owned by the same company
and supposed to have struck the same veil
as the Read well, are doing finely. On'
is flowing fifteen barrels and the other one
hundred.

Death of ProCe..or Avtouu.

Professor Aytoun, one of the most en-
inent of modern Scottish ~L;tterateErs, died
near Elgin, Morayshire, on the 4th of
August. He was born in Edinburgh Uni
versity, and when eighteen years old, won
q prize. for 8 poem called u Judith" In
1910 he was called to the bar, and in I945
was appointed Professor of Rhetoric and
Bellies Eettres in his Alma Mater, q po-
sition which he has held ever since.
As q literary man, Professor Aytoun is
known by 6 vast number of contributions
TO BlAckwcod's, Tsit's, and other Mag
szines. His list of published books in
cludes "The Lays the Scottish Cavaliers"
first published in collected form in 1913;
"Firmilian, a S~pasmodic Tragedy" 1864,
8 burlesque Of the sensational drama;
Boutwell," apoem, giving an episode in
the history of Mary Queen Of Scots, pub

woods pspes, in 1862. Most of these
works have been %repubiished in this coun-
try. Professor Aytoun had been for some
time in feeble health, and had lately visited
the mineral springs in Germany to find
relief. He was ffty.two years old at the

unionism fn Mississippt.

The Convention held in Mississippi for
the purpose of modifying the State Con-
stitution for readmission into the Union,
has adjourned. Its general spirit can be
Judged from its first act, which was the
adoption Of q resolution that 8 committee Of
fifteen DO appointed "to inquire into and
report to this Convention such alterations
or amendments to the Constitution of the
State as may be proper and expedient 10
restore the State to its constitutional rels-
tions 70 the Federal Government, and en-.
title its citizens to the protection of the
United States against invasion or domestic
violence"
There is something refreshing in the
cool arrogance with which these unsub.
dued rebels talk about coming back into
the Union. Their first act is q demand for
protection against ~'invssion and domestic
violence" As the only "invasion to
which they are exposed is by United
States troops, this may be taken as a
mildly wOrded but very significant hint 70
the United States Government 10 with
draw its soldiers, and free Mississippi from
Fdomestic violence" Aeonvention of pro
fessedly repsntant rebels returning, bes.
ten and subdued, to the Union which they
have vAinly endesvored to destroy, finds
no other object for its action than to re.
lieve its State from the @invssion" of the
United States army. That the State hat
ever failed in its duty to the United State
mAnifestly never occurred to them, bui
that it was grossly outraged and insultec
by the United States was perfectly plain
Whether such q temper and attitude OF
the part ofreturning rebels is safe or pro
per-whether the men who hold thesC
views are likely to do their work of re
construction in just and thorough man,
NERVE must leave it to our readers to de-
termine.

OINCNNATI, August u.

CINCINNATI, August "a.
The action of the Democratic Conven-
ton of this State, last week, in making
Vsllandigham its representative man, by
calling him 10 the chair, has done more to
retain the vote of the returned soldiers for
the Union party than all the speaking of
the campaign could have done without
this fortunate circumstance. They cannot
now blind their eyes to the fact that the
so called Democratic party is the same Sc
cession-loving, traitor.sympsthizing band
it was two years ago. Its candidate for
Governor, too, being the disgrsced General
Morgan, who, having permission to leave
the military service, manifested his chsgrin
by stumping the State for Vsllandigham,
does not strike the veteran soldiers as Pc
culiarlV the man deserving their support.
At a soldiers reunion on Saturday in
Brown County, Generals Cox and Schenck
presented these considerations to their pat
riotic hearers, and, as might be expected,
drew from them the most hearty sppro-
val. The bid Of the Democracy in a four
line resolution complimenting the soldiers
for their bravery, coming from men who
would not vote 8 dollar to feed and clOthe
them, is too lean q bait to gull the simplest
of them. Our campaign will be sharply
contested, but we will win triumphantly.

We publish in another column q letter
from q gentleman now in Washington, de-
Tending the action of the Ohio clerks
against the iIl-Adyised and unjust attacks
OF the Cincinnati Commercial, Gallipolis

journals seem to labor under the delusion
that Ohio clerks have no political rights
that old politicians are bound to respect,
and that it would be . piece Of imperti-

Senatorial contest yet these same papers are
perfectly willing to have these impairment
clerks travel from four hundred to six hum
dred miles home for the purpose of inter-
fering in Ohio politics by voting the
Union ticket The fact of their
holding ofice under the Government
should not preclude them in the least from

it should, what right has the editor of the

to interfere in our State politics He

APhiladelphis company, which has been
operating on Beaver Greek, Clarion county
struck q strong vein of superior oil, on the
Monas Farm, about six miles from the
mouth of that stream, last Thursday. A
big well is expected.
The Rensselaer, Oil Company are now
working their new well on Hemlock Run,
Venango county, and it bids fair to increase
to fifty barrels. The anne company are
putting down two wells on the same run,
the Niagara Company are also putting
down two, and the Havana Company one.
Good results are anticipated.
Last Sunday 8 d%riller, on Pithole, too
anxious to beat his neighbor, kept st work,
and on Monday morning lost the sand
pump with 300 feet of rope, the pump be-
ing new fast in the we'll. Nor is this an
uncommon occurrence. We invite them
to pay more attention to religious services,
for it certainly can do them no harm.

There are some who are left over from last

Of stating it, but commercial transactions
require commercial terms. All the fair
lack Is green tickets with the lowest price
marked thereon. It must be so, for where
is the man one could love who has also
money! If Mr.. De Shipper only had
brains and manhood, or Mr.. of any plain
name had De Shippers half million, there
would be delight; but such ~conjunctions
do not happen; wealth and worth gen.

The thoughtful man stands against o

ratogs Hotel at midnight and watches the
dance. If there is g time to dance, there
is nc filter time, and yet-he asks himself
seriously why he should be saddened p
This is what those girls who are before him
are for. 1t is the only blossom they are
capable of. Certain species of insects seem
to us to have no object in life but the re-
production of their own kind, and the cyni.
cal man at the pillar thinks of the insects.
Does he see before him only insects who
live merely that others may live after
them2 Is it true that these girls live
merely for marriage and then drop really
out of life2 There is NJ magical power in
the famous springs, if this be SO. No
doubt there is true love there. There are
those who sing with the lover in "Maud":
"Al night have the roses heard

All night has the easement je samine stirred
70 the dancers dancing in tune;
Till y 81 ence fell will the wakiIR bird
and a hush with the setting moOn,'
And many q Maud, and many a lover

Not fail b-neath my feet
Before my life has fund

but las the watching thinker ieels) the
Maud who is expected does not come into
the garden at dsy-bresk, and the wish is
vain. The desire expressed in the poem
must stand with the vague childish long
ing to see the giants which used to throw
the hills about. The aim of society is 10
suppress emotion. The women pitilessIy
spply to the csutery to their own hearts,
and though they prefer to be won, elect TO
be sold. All this the man who listens to
the music-which may be Strauss waltzes
and watches the dancers, sees, and he be-
comes ssdder and wiser, or else bitter.

norgan and the War.

What the candidate of the pseudo-D De-
mocrAcy for the Office of Governor, "Gen.
eral" George W. Morgan, thinks of the
war, he ststeq, briefly but distinctly, in his
speech before the convention which nomi-
mated him. This is what he says:
GWould il not be well to remember that
civil wars are like family feuds, and when,
after the strife has ceased, End the cause of
the difficulty has been calmly considered,
both parties are generally found to be more
or less in fault"
That is to say, the South was some
what to blame Tor rebelling, and the Gov
eminent somewhat to blame for putting
down the rebellion. We shall leave it to
tSe noble Ohio soldiers who crushed the re-
beIion by force of arms, and the loyal cit
izens Of the State who sustained the SOL
