The Story of Well Known Oil Mar.

On Monday last Mr.. Henry Fisher.
Of Tidioute, one of the wealthiest ana
most respectable citizens Of this region.
visited the Milton Farm, on the Ale
gheny Valley Railroad. Mr.. Fisher
visited that locality on business,which
is way Mr.. Fisher has, and after trans
acting his business Mr.. Fisher proceed
ed to return-that is he took passage
on the train bound for Oil City. IS
is usual on passenger trains, q conduc-
tor was aboard, and on his interogat-
ing Mr.. Fisher for his ticket or equiv
alent, could obtain neither. Mr. Fish
er was strapped" He had lost his
pocket-book and contents when or
where was conundrum which remsiu-
ed unsolved. The loss of the pocket
book did not bother Mr.. Fisher in the
least, but the loss of its contents was
rather embarrassing for the time being.
In fact, such loss would tickle the
ribs Of an umbrella. The pooket.book
contained Sl75 in greenbacks; one
$50 500 bond with all the coupons
attached, which was preserved as
curiosity, solitaire diamond pin val
ued at $3.50; three railroad passes
several business cards, etc. Mr.. Fish
er quietly kept his own counsel as to
his loss, and also kept one eye open fog
developments"
Last evening, Mr.. Fisher took pas.
sage at Oil City on the up train for
Titusville, and was little surprised
at observing his diamond pin adjoining
the shirt bosom of a young man whose
visible means of support are limited
and whose front name is E. G.. CooS
1t is unnecessary TO say that young
Cook was Captured" but such was
the case. Mr.. Fisher asked him if he
was not sporting property that belong
ed to other parties, when Cook replied
that "he'd give 'er up"-the property,
not the conundrum-and accordingly
handed Mr.. Fisher his pin, pocket
book, passes, and ten dollars in money.
Cook stotsd that he had found the
pocket book, but did not tell when or
where, and that he sold the bond in Ii
tusville, and had squandered the pro.
ceeds and the balance of the money
that he had been offered 800 for the
pin, but thought it worth more and go
held it for "rise." He also stated
that he did not know to whom ths
property belonged, which was undoubt.
edly true, as Mr.. Fishers name deco
rated the different passes, cards, etc
Not wishing to create a disturbances,
Mr.. Fisher allowed the young man to
depart in peace, though, had justice
been done, he would undoubtedly have
departed in pieces.

Why Women Wed.

Some clever observer Of social rela-
tions, having looked about among his
married acquaintance, ventures to
give the following list, with an attempt
10 indicate the real reasons which in
tluence too many to marry:
Number one has married for a home.
She got tired working in a factory or
teaching school-she thought married
life on earth was but moonlight walks.
buggy rides, new bonnets, and nothing
to do. Well, she has got her home
whether or not she is tired of the in
cumbrancos this deponent does not
positively know.
Number two married becouse she
had seven young sisters and a papa
with narrow income. She consulted
the interests of her family. Perhaps
she would letter have consulted her
interests by taking in light washing or
going out by the day to work.
Number three married because Mrs.
sounded so much better than Miss. She
was twenty-nine years and eleven
months old, and another month would
have transformed her into a regular
old maid. Think how awful that would
have been.
Number four married because she
wanted somebody to pay her bills.
Her husband married her for precisely
the same reason; so they are both la
menting at leisure.
Number five married because Fanny
White had a nice new husband, and
she wasn't going to be left behind.
Pity if she couldn't get married as
well as other folks.
Number six married because she
was poor and wanted riches. She new
er counted on all other things that
were inseparable from those coveted
riches.
Number seven married because she
thought she would like to travel. But
Mr.. number seven changed his mind
afterward, and all the travelling she
has done has been between the well
and the back kitchen door.
Number eight had married out OF
spite, because her first love had taken
to himself a second Lowell This piece
of retaliation might have done her
good at the time, but in the run mum.
ber eight found that it did not pay.
Number nine married because she
had read novels and wanted sympathy
Sympathy is fine thing. but it cools
down at a rapid rate if the domestic
kettle is not kept boiling, and the do
mestic turkey is undone. Novels and
housekeeping don't run very we'll to.
gether in harness, to use sporting
phrase, and number mines supply O
sympathy don't hold out very long.
Number ten married because she
loved her husband with all her hear
and all her soul. And she loves hin
still, and will probably continue tc
love him, and is the happiest wife il
the world-so she says.
We have all the right motive a
last--one which, when sanctifed by 9
desire and resolution to prove and ele
vate each other, and to live true and
holy lives before God, cannot fail tc
call down the blessings of heaven
But sad is the fate of those who marry
from wrong motives to escape their
share of life's work or to get some
thing for which they have nothing to
give in return.

The "Fat Contributor" Girls, of the
Cincinnati Times, has the following in
regard to an old conductor promoted
to train dispatcher "Habit was very
strong with the ex-conductor. AS he
sat in the office he would start every
time he heard a bell ring, and yell
All aboard Then he would &c
about the office at intervals and try to
collect fare of the assistants. We
dropped in causually one afternoon,
and Billy wanted to know if we had a
pass. He couldn't get accustomed to
his new position at all. He pined to
be again on the road. One day he
begged the boys to put him through a
collision, which they did to his entire
qualification. They tore his clothes
nearly of, blackened his eyes, broke a
kerosene lamp over his head, and piled
a red-hot stove on top of him. Billy
was in an ecstacy of delight, and de-
clared he hadn't enjoyed himself SO
much since he had bile"
Beecher says: I believe in novels.
l think that if they are good they are
useful. | believe that they are no
more to be disallowed than any other
part of literature. They can be made
to serve the very best ends Of economy
of virtue and morality, to say nothing
of religion; but a man who feeds on
nothing else but these, how miserable
and how wretched he is These are
the whips and Syllabus of life. They
are not the bread nor the meat. They
are the confections of life. But ought

DON'T BE TOO SENsITIvE.-There
are some people, yes, many people, al
ways looking out for sights. They
cannot carry on the daily intercourse
of the family without some ofiense is
designed. They are as touchy as hair
triggers. If they meet an acquaintance
in the street who happens to be pre-
occupied with business, they attribute
his abstraction in some mode personal
to themselves. and take umbrage ac-
cordingly. They lay, on others the
fault of their irritability. A fit of in
digestion makes them see impertinence
in everybody they come in contact
with. Innocent persons, who never
dreamed of giving otlense, are astonish-
ed to find some unfortunate word, or
some monetary taciturnity, mistaken
for an insult. To say the least, the
habit is unfortunate. 1t is fars wiser
to take the more charitable view of
our fellow beings, and, not suppose a
slight is intended unless the neglect is
open and direct. After all, too, life
takes its use in a great degree from
the color OF our own mind. Ii we are
frank and generous the world treats
us kindly. If, on the contary, we are
suspicious, men learn to be cold and
cautious to us. Let person get the
reputation of being touchy, and every
body is under more or lest restraintI
and in this way the chances Of an inn
sginsry ofiensc are vastly increased.

they do it in earnest. At late meet

women residing in one hundred and
thirty-four borougbs, villages, and
other places in the United Kingdom.
The petition prays for the unconditiOn-

Anecdote Of Webster.

A correspondent of Harper's Month
ly says:
In looking over an old notebook Of
my fathers, written many years ago, I
came across an anecdote which, il it
has never appeared in print before, is
too good to be lost. While John
Branch, of North Carolina, was Gen.
eral Jackson's Secretary of the Navy,
he, Tazewell, and Daniel Webster were
walking on the north side of the Poto-
mac, ut Washington, Tazewell, willing
10 amuse himself with Braneh's sim
plicity, said Branch, I'll bet you 8
teu-dollar hat that you are on the other
side of the river"
"Done," said Branch.
"Well," said Tazewell, pointing TO
the opposite shore, 'isn't that one side
of the riverH"
Eyes"
"Then, as you are here, are you not
on the other side"
"Why, l declare" said poor Branch,
$50 it is! But here comes Webster,
I'll win back the hat from him."
Webster had Jagged behind but nOw
came up, and Branch accosted him;
webster, I'll bet you a ten.dollAr
hat that | can prove that you are on
the other side Of the river"
"DOnei"
"WeIl, isn't this one side"
"Yes."
"Well, isn't that the other side p
"Yes, but l am not on that side :"
Branch hung his head and submit
ted to the loss of the two hats as quiet
" as he could.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

The usually quiet township of Rich,
field, Summit county, located next
east of Hinckley, was the scene on
Saturday evening of n of the most
terrible tragedies ever enacted in this
part of the State. The horrible af-
fair took place at the residence of
Robert Gargett, 4 mile southwest of
the centre of Richfield. The family
consisted Of Robert Gargett, aged II
years, Mrs. Gargett, aged 81, a daugh-
ter Chloe, aged 81, and a son Rod
ney, aged 70. The daughter had
been for SOME time on intimate terms
with one John II. Hunter, residing in
Michigan, where also d married daugh-
ter Of Mr.. Gargett resides. Through
this Michigan family, Hunter became
acquainted with Miss Chloe Gargett,
and it is thought the acquaintance was
to result i'll marriage; but the young
lady, for reasons not given, cut his
acquaintance, and about two weeks
before the murder told him while Wis
iting in Michigan, there separation
must be final. He seems to be pas
sionately attached to her, and on Sat
urday evening at half past six, arrived
in Richfield to see her, she having re-
turned from Michigan about ten days
before. Her father was, talking with
a neishbor by the name of Waldo
near the-house, and told Mr.. Hunter
he could not see Chlee. He declared
with an oath that he would see her,
and coolly drew a revolver and shot
the old mar through the. head inhict-
ing a mortal wound. Then rushing
into the house he met the old lady
and shot her, too, in the head, and she
dropped down and died soon after
The younger Gargett here rushed into
the house and grappled the murderer,
and he, too, was shot, but not fatally.
Chloe, who was up stairs, now jumped
from a second story window, and ran
t. a nei ghbor's house by the name of
Poole, where she was secreted in the
cellar; she no doubt would have met
the same fate if found. As the MUIR
derer returned from the house in his
fruitless search for the object of his
affection, the hired man approached,
whom he shot at and missed. BY this
time the neighborhood was aroused.
and as soon as it was deemed prudent
the murderer was arrested and bound,
being closely watched all the time,
but making no effort to escape 1t
was with difficulty that the officers of
the law could save him from mob vi
olencc, but he was finally put in jail
at Akron, where ne will lie securely
ironed awaiting his trial.
This is one of the most c~auseless and
cold-hlooded murders it has ever
been our duty to record. Tho moth
