END OF "OoAL OIL JOHNNY"
The Career of an Improvident Boy,

The Career of an ImprOVident Boy,
The Oil City Register contains the folio wing
which VIII be interesting TO many of our
readers:-
We noticed in brief, in yesterdays paper, the
sale of the John w. Steele more lamiliarly
known as the Widow McChntock farm, by the
United States Deputy Collector, W. l.. Groves,
to satisfy the claims OF the Government for taxes
due. 1t was bld in by the Government to secure
the claim, amounting TO 81 800. AT a previous
sale by the sheriff OF this county S74 900 was bid
for the property, but the sale was stopped, the
Government proving prior claim. The claims
against the property are heavy.
A brief history of this farm may not prove un-
interesting to u large class OF our readers. The
Widow McClntocE farm, consisting OF about 100
acres, is Immediately opposite the hourishing
town OF Housewife, on OIL creek. 1t was one of
the first among the oi-producmg farms of the
valley. The Van Slyke well, on this farm,
struck early in 1868, produced for some time at
the rate of $500 barrels of oil per day. the Ham
mond well, struck some time after, produced at
the rate of 600 barrels per day.
In 1864 Mrs. McClntock died. Her death
was caused by beng badly burned, while kind
ling a fire with crude oil. Alter her death, it
was found by her will that the farm and all her
possessions were lett entire to her adopted son,
John W. Steele, youth o nineteen or twenty.
The daily il come of the farm, accruing to the
land interest at tle time OF her death, AVERAGED
about $4,000, In the iron sale where Mrs.
hCCllntock kept her money, was found $4,000
in gold and 100000 IN green backs. All this
fell to Mr.. Steele as heir. He was young man
OF tair average principles, but uneducated. No
sooner had he Obtained possession of his pro-
perty than he was surrounded with parasites.
He proved an easy victim to these sharpers, who
went with him all the time, and he gave no heed
to the counsels OF those who were his best
friends. To finish the history, we will merely
state that Mr.. Steele is now reduced to poverty,
and is stunned by those who taWned upon him
in his day OF prosperity.

Artificial Nests,-The Bulletin de la Sooiete
GACc imdtdt'On contains interesting statements
connected with the chief object the society has
in ylew that OF rearing foreign animals in
France. One of the most curious subjects
treated in the last number is that of artificial
birdsness, as they are now made in Switzerland
und,r the direction OF the societies formed there
tor the protection OF insectivorous birds. One of
the members Of society of thus description, NJ.
x, who inhabits Vevey, having observed
that many species of that kind select for nests
the holes they find in the trunks of rotten trees
and that tney consequently do not find it easy
to settle in orchards, where all the trees are in
good condition, began twenty-five years ago to
set up rotten trunks in his grounds; and since
then he has had no need to trouble himself in
the least about clearing away caterpllars that
care being entirely left to his winged guests,
who perform their duty admirably. M. KS
neighbors on the contrary, who have not had
this foresight, have their orchards LAID waste by
a host of voraClOus insects. The Yverdun
Society have gone the length of placing artificial
nests even In the public walks and communal
forests, on the borders of the lawns, etc. All
these nests are now inhabited by hedge-spar-
rowe, redstarts, creepefs, and tomtits-all which
may be found in Switzerland as high up as the
perpetual snow line. The same practice has
found its way into Germany.

Wife Selling in France,-There still exists,
among well-ntormed French people, tradition
halter round his wife's neck, leads her to Smith
field, and sells her to the highest bidder. A
laborer named Martin aged thirty, at Wire
Oniv sold his vile and cunbnard oyetber no for
five francs to a young man named Vautier,-
but assisted the latter by force to take posses
sion Of his purchase. For this grave ofense
the two men have just been tried at the Court
OF Assze at Caen. The hearing OF the case
took place with closed DOORS and the Jury
having returned a verdict of guilty but with
extenuaJing circumstances, Martin was con-
demed to eight years hard labor, and Vautier
TO five years imp rlsonment.
