STRANGE STORY OF a CITY

The visitor to what was once the fOcus
of Oildom, Pithole, will naturally fall into
a train of thought like the one that inspir-
ed Goldsmith to sing of
"Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plain :"
Not that Pithole ever was a '.lovelv
village" but its utter decay from what
was once bustling place, running over
with life and excitement, will suggest the
slmlle. The fungus growth of towns is q
salient feature Of American life. They
are the result of various causes: the dis
co7ery of a mine of precious metal; the
inceptive point of some great national
work-a railroad, perhaps; the discovery
Of remarkable oil indications :" Or any
great popular ,furore that calls men togeih-
er with its i:resistable attraction. They
cause towns. and even cities to spring up
in a single night as it were-some of them
10 achieve permanency, and stand as
perpetual wonder N the eyes of the world
others to crumble away with the speed Of
their growth, like the once famous Pit
hole. The picture that this town presents
is sadly unlike its old self 1t was once
the headquarters of the oil King and the
amazing swiftness of its growth has hard
ly counterpart in this land. One cause
after another, however, sapped IFS pros
perity; the decrease in the production Of
oil; the discovery of petroleum in new
localities, and terrible visitation by fire,
have almost bligh;ed Pithole ont of ex~
istence. A person who knew the town
in the days of its prosperity, Will expe-
rience curious sensations, if he visits it
now. The crowds that once througed its
streets the oil teams, almost countless /;
the elegant hotels-save One-that were
once its pride, and the peer, in some res
poets, of those of the Metropolis itself
all are gone. The ''Morey Farm HoteP'
was erected at cost of 100000, sump-
tuously furnished, and supplied with gas,
and all the cunning works for comfort and
convenience that distinguish the choicest
hotels in the most fashionable cities. The
very nabobs of Shoddy and Lucre were
wont to give wine dinners here, and rev.

the sun passes round the earth toward the
north pole and the refracfion of its rays IS
such that you eau see 10 read at midnight

was surprised TO see the sun shining in his
roon. He looked at his watch. and found
II was only three o'clock. The next time

in five minutes more il begins to rise AT
the North Cape, latitude seventy-two de-
grees, the sun does not go down for several
weeks. In june il would be about twenty

In the winter time the sun disappears, and
Is not seen for weeks; then it comes and
remains for ten, fifteen, or twenty minutes i,
alter which ii descends, and finally does
not set at all, but makes almost a circle
around the heavens. DR. Baird was asked
how they managed in those latitudes with
regard to hired persons, and what they
considered a day. He replied that they
worked by the hour, and twelve hours
would be considered q days work. Birds
and animals take their accustomed rest at
the usual hour, whether the sun goes down
or not.
