A Blissful Bridegroom Shot NJ

bered, and when over they made q bridal

to the room of Madame Fanny, the happy

and affection. That night about the

his wife's room securely locked. A few

tone that was rather loud. II

down, while he lighted big pipe-a stumpy

ed on three tabourets the uniform worn by
Peter at the battle Of Pultowa, bis sword,

Correspondence.

Mr.. Demonstrating behind Smawley's
Spike Tail Saturday, we drove over the hills
through the Black Oil district, finding
sbamburg, Pfthole and Cash Up quiet and
yet busy. The country itself, with its
patches of wood land, oil farms, and culti'a.
ted fields look charming. The recent rains
have refreshed every growing thing and
made the view lovely one, look whence
you choose.
The pipe lines report that the production
changes very little keeping up fair aver
age. Very few wells are abandoned on the
black oil territory, and few new wells are
put down, as they will barely average three
barrels (3) oil round. However, nine
tentbs Of them are pumped by heads aud
cost comparatively little for labor and fuel
The capacity Of tho bills and valleys 10 this
region to produce good paying crops, and
for stock purposes, is no doubt greatly un-
derated. G. W. Stewart, Esq, one OF the
largest land owners In this country, has
some splendid wheat that be is just now
cutting, that will produce probably from 81
to 40 bushels to the acre. He has besides
other crops Stocking equally as well. His
farm and mill scot lie in the lap OF lovely
little dell in the Pithole valley, and be
takes commendabe pride in having every.
thing right about him and in demonstrate ng
that Venango is not only rich in oil but in
agricultural resources.
The Political cauldron don't boil as hot as
4! The weather is, in these peaceful waysides.
Everybody there, as elsewhere seem deter
mined to keep cool and good nstured. The
candidates, with their respective personal
merits and dement's, are the only elements
that enter into the canvas, and whether the
white bat or the blue caps wins don't seem
to matter much.
/ In the meantime win whe may let US be
thankful that all over this great country the
bosom OF our Mother Earth teems with an
abundant promise Of Bread for all her chill
dreo.
