BIG WELL ON DALE ISLAND.
Pumping rs bbIs. and Increasing.

A we'll which has for some time been |
goiug down on Dale Island, six miles
up the river, owned by Judge Dale,
Sheriff Davis, and two other parties,
commenced pumping on Saturday, at
the rate of 25 bbls. per day, strict mea-
sure, and no prospect Of decrease.
We congratulate our townsmen on
their good luck, and hope they, and
all others of our citizens who are after
this slippery article may find several
other good wells close by us. We are
bound to be an oil town if takes years.
Coupling up, at the mouth of the
creek. and prayerfully waiting for
flood.
Next Monday opens Court week,
and then the quiet of our village will
be dispellcd, and business be lively.
Mrs. Rogers has established a Mil
linary Store in the second story of the
Acomb Building, Tlonesta, Pa. She
has all the latest styles, fresh from
New York. Give her a call.
II. B. Cobb and John d. Hunt,
we're in town on Sunday. Barrett
came in to look for "rise," and John
to hear the latest in regard to the
prize fight between Mace and Coburn.
We wish to call attention to the
essay, "Who is at Fault?" on our first
psge. The author, Rev. Burton, is
not at all backward in identifying
himself with the temperance cause
here rand will do his utmost to drive
alcohol from our midst.
Ono day last week ,one of our cup
the creek" fellows was on the train
presided over by Conductor Gleason,
and also upon "train" of his own,
got to poking his Est through the car
windows. He was demonstrated with,
but continued breaking glass, when
Mr.. Gleason concluded it was necessa-
nv to eject him from the train. This
was accomplished after great deal OF
trouble, and the discoloration Of the
window-smasher's optics.

The fire at Fagundus City, which
we noticed last week, broke out III
private dwelling at the upper end
the street, on Sunday afternoon, Ttl
inst. Forty five places of business were
destroyed in two hours. These build
| ings included the entire business por
ton of the town. There was small
insurance Oh some of.the property, bu
the most of it is dead loss. A large
number of families were turned ou
of their houses by the fire. The plac,
will probably be rebuilt in bette
shape than when it was burned. Lum
Der is being hauled there rapidly, anC
building has been commenced. Th'
loss is variously estimated from $50,
900 to 800, 900.
We notice our democratic ex
changes quoting articles from the n. Y
Sun derogatory to President Grant
and they always preface the extract
with something like this: "Dana, ed

Now this small game has been goin
on for some time. and may, perhap
deceive some one who is witheut tn
light of either intelligence, or the Su,
but at the same time these democrati
: editors know that the San is neutra
paper, and that the editor, Dana, ha
8 always been a violent defamer of tn
President. And by such small dodge
: as these, they hope to prejudice som
honest votes to their support and
