The story Oil Case Decided,

The great Story oil farm case, after
over two weeks trial in the United State,
Circuit Court at Erie, Penn, has been
decided. The story of the well is as fol
lows;
Hickey & Co., conditionally bought
the Story fam on Oil Creek, in April
1871. Nobody knew of the existence OF
other than sand wells on the ground at
that time; these failed rapidly. On
April l, 1861, the bargain for the land
was consummated at less figure than
Hickey & Co., saying they would lose
$4,000 ALREADY paid rather than pay more
specified i'll the orIgina lagreement, than
$50, 600 for the property. 1t was worth
worth only 5,OO9 for farming purposes
at that time. There were seven wells On
the land, but none were pumping Two
months after the Steiner wcll-the first
flowing well in the oil regions, flowing
800 barrels day-was struck there, and
the territory became immensely produc-
tive. Six years after, Story thought he
had been defrauded and brought this
suit.
The charge of Judge McKennan was
direct for defendant, as was the weight of
the evidence, but the jury found for plain
tiff in the sum of S31, 005. Judge
McKennan Indignantly set aside the
verdict on the ground that it was against
law and evidence, and and awarded a
new trial. can attempt was made by
plaintiff to impeach the integrity of G.
f. Taylor, of Franklin, Story's former
attorney, but this signally and utterly
failed.

The InYAlid-A Pen Picture.

See her pallid countenance, but short

the household. She was always vel
coined by her sohoolmates, for her 1.-the
form and pleasing disposition carried
cheerfulness into their ranks. Diligent,
punctual and exemplary, obedient and
graceful Mt home she won the hearts of
all. But alas, we are smrowed. Those
rosy checks and ruddy lips are blanched
by consumption, The voice once so en-
chanting in laugh and song is feeble,
husky and supplanted by hollow cough.
Let us approach her couch gently and
take her hand. Do not shudder because
OF the feeble and passionless grasp. The
hand once so hearty and plump is
omaciated and shows bony outlines,
while the cords and tortuous veins are
plainly mapped upon the surface. The
pulse that bounded with repletion, car
rying vigor to the whole system and
lmparting life, beauty, vivacity, health
and strength, is delicate to the touch.

The Beach Trees Petition.

Oh, leave this barren spot to me;
Spare Woodman, spare the beechen tree,
Though shrub or hOw'ret never grow
MY wan unwanmg shade below,
Nor fruits Of autumn, blossom born,
My green and glossy leaves adorn,
Nor murmurng tribes from me dorive
The ambrosial treasures of the hive;
Yet leave this little spot to me
Spare, Woodman, spare the becchcn tree,
Thrice twenty summers have stood,
In bloomless, fruitless solitude;
Since childhood in my rustling bower
First spent its sweet and spoltive hour,
Since youthful lovers in my shade
Their vows of truth and rapture paid,
And on my trunks surviving frame
Carv'd many long forgotten name.
Oh! by the VOWS of gentle sound
First lreath'd upon this sacred ground,
BY all that love hath WHISPERED here,
Or Beauty heard with ravish'd ear,
AS Love own altar, honor me
Spare, Wootmm, spare the beechcn tree !

Pipes Introduced in Cabinet Organs

Pipes introduced in Cabinet Organs.
Mr. Carl Fogelburg, a Swedish Organ
builder, has succeeded in combining
pipes with reeds; rendering it possible
to use both in Cabinet Organs, and has
secured patents for his inventions in the
United States. The Importance of doing
this has long been appreciated, but here
tofore it has been found impracticable,
the difficulty arising from the fact that
pipes vary in pitch with every change of
temperature, while reeds do not, so that
change of ten or fifteen degrees made
it impossible 20 use them together. In
struments which have been advertised us
Pipe Cabinet Organs have contained no
real speaking pipes, but only limitations
of some sort. Mr.. Fogelberg uses gen.
uine wood pipes of the best quality.
The substance of his inventions is an
arrangement by which the pipes, when
out of tune from change of temperature,
can be simultaneously and instantly re-
stored to the same pitch with the reeds,
by the turning of single screw.
The Mason & Hamlin Organ Co., have
been thoroughly testing Mr.. Fogelberg's
inventions, and it is understood, are sat
isfied Of their value, and will soon offer
them to the public. If pipes are success
fully combined with reeds, it will be the
most important improvement ever made
in Cabinet Organs.

American Institute Earmers' Club.

Much interesting matter was hrough
before the meeting, which was common
ced by the reading OF Il letter from DIR
Bowles, OF Hammonton, n, j., on
The PROPER TREATMENT OF Cows. -
He said he had visited diaries in which
cows were MIXED up to the last possible
moment, kept in close stables, and fec
highly stimulating food. All this VA
wrong, and the COWS could not bear the
unnatural strain on their system ant
gave way beneath it.

How TO DESTROY STABLE MANURE. --
Fell Taylor, Marionsvile, Me-, had been
preparing manure for his wheat crop by
mixing it in alternate layers with fresh
lime, and asked whether it would do to
apply it now. He was informed that he
could not have taken a more certain
method of rendering it worthless it
would make very little difference when
he applied it.
GRATING GRAPES Mr.. Fuller in re-
ply to the inquiry of A. c. Fisk, said
that grapes may be grated during tho
winter before the sap begins to flow, and
late in spring after the flow is partly
ceased, by cutting off and splitting the
stock three inches beneath the ground,
inserting the scions, binding with the bass
bark, and covering with soil. No graft
ing wax is needed
DOES CLOVER SEED EXHAUST THE
Soil rs, S. Caughey, Pa, asked if
clover seed exhausted the soil as much as
wheat, He was informed that the gen
eral opinion is, that crop of clover ben
efits the soil to a greater extent than the
seed exhausts it,so that there is Il consid-
able balance left in its favor. Wheat,
on the contrary, is decidedly exhaust
ing crop.

sylvanian asked if it is economical to

that it is better 10 feed the straw and

ing on hay, and is very nutritious.
Who EATS THE BAD BUTTER "A. j.
Aldrich, Mass, asked if the English peo-
pie eat all the abominable butter eXpor-
ted from the country. Mr.. Lawrence
stated that the paternal government of
England took care Of that, by ordering
tar to be mixed with all butter unfit for
use, so that it could not go into con-
sumption as food, but should go to its pro-
per use as grease for sheep diseased
with the scab.
EVERGREEN SEED. Mr.. Fuller stated
that they should be sprouted in cold
frame covered with cloth no manure
should he used in starting them, and
the plants must be carefully shaded from
the sun.
To GROW HoRsE-C HrsTNUTs. - James
A. Whitney, Natick, Mass, has had diff
ficulty in growing hore-chestnuts from
seed. Mr.. Fuller said possibly he had
allowed them to become dry, which was
fatal. The nuts should be kept beneath
leaves OF straw in a cold, moist place un-
til spring, then planted one inch deep.
Few persons give sufficient care to grow
them successfully.

ture at Boston the other day, which Is
worthy of note. He said, among other

"In my experience" ne said, "while

than when,he first went to it. "Former-
ly the night sessions were dreaded on ac-
count of the debauchery to which they
gave rise. Now about one quarter of the
Senators are pledged temperance men,
and there is not what may be called a

facts are about the same in the House of
