l. ny consist Of 423 acres of the most desirable

judgment by practical men, after prospecting and
examining the most productive regions and locali-
ties. A large part of it is situated on Dunkard
creek, Green county, Pennsylvania, where, in pro-
portion to developments, the quantity and quality
of the Oil found, is superior to Oil creek, it com
manding higher price in the Pittsburg market.

ongelia and Wetzell counties, and are considered
among the best in the State.

Who Would be a Goat?

An old salt, who had been on bender,
had got what might be termed sublimely
mystified by his frequent imbibings of the
''critter." Staggering along the streets, he
thought to 60 to the theater, and pass the
remainder Of the evening. Following some
men whom he. thought bound ION the same
voyage, he found himself in what he took
to be the pit, but it happened to be meet
from the text wherein is mentioned the
sheep and goat, and in order to- make an.
impression upon his congregation, he puts
thesignifcant question: 7"Who would wish
to be goat?" and paused; and then, with
still greater emphasis, asked: sWho will be
a goat?" Our tipsy sailor could not brook
the delay, and at once responded: 'sAs no.
body else (hic) will be it Ill be the (hic)
goat, rather (hic) than the play should
stop."S 'DA9'5@ 7NI Saiaav9 gllh9iD /

A Substitute for Brandy I'm Cases
of Exhaustion.

In the transactions of the Obstetrical
Society," London, Dr. Druitt recommends
for this purpose lean beef, chopped up, in
closed in a Jar and subjected for, an hour or
more to heat, when it will separate into
q three portions, fat fiber and liquid oes-
sence. Strainsof the last, and separate the
fat by means Of blotting paper, when clear
and amber liquid is obtained Of an intense
" aromatic smell and flavor stimulating to
the BRAIN Different samples of meat yield
different qualities Of It, and contains q val
liable portion of gelatinous matter. It
yields on evaporation about one-sixteenth
of the solid residue, which soon efferyesces
on exposure to the air from the saline mat
ters contained. This Is not intended as a
substitute for common beef tea, but IL Is
recommended as an auxiliary to and apar-
tial substitute for brandy in. all cases of
great exhaustion or weakness, attended
with cerebral depression. Itaisltree from

The Snowman ON WOOdchuck.
Reported oerbdtim et htsrdtim from the
showmau's speech at managerie in Eng
land. lt was particularly edifying to his
auditors and may be to many Of our read
ers:
"This, ladies' aud gentlemen, Is the dis
tinguished hamerican hanimal vich Is
known as the Hamericau Voodchuck, first
discovered by Gen Christopher Columbus
on his first voyage 10 the woods OF Hameri-
ky. Christopher saw him quietly seated
upon bank of clover, n viewing the setting
sun and a wondering vot would become OF
1T. This ere is one Of the descendants of
the same voodehuck, as may be easily seen
In his general happearahce, vich Is both
beautiful and striking. lie is a solitary
creechur and is called voodchuck because
he lives In the woods and the boys chuck
stones ut him. lie has hair upon his back
and upon his belly, and his taii is much the
same. His eyes are at the opposite end of
the body, and assist him in the amusing
occupation of seeing, vich he can see as veil
in the dark as in the light, helse he wouldn't
live in 'oles hunder the ground.
Like most Illuminated things he Is fond
of enjoying himself, vich he does in q very
hamiable way. He 'obbles along upon the
ground, ven nobody is looking, Watches the
birds in the trees, and tries to sing like
them, vich he has never succeeded In do
ing; but this is not his fault because he
hasn't got any feathers. The voodchuck
lives a good vile. My huncle 'ad Won vat
lived sometime, but died; though there is
no telling how long he would ave lived if
it wasn't for that ere haccident. Howing to
the quiet life vich the voodohuck henjoys,
| ave sometimes wished vas voodchuck
