Abont three O'CLOCK this afternoon sharp
flash of lightning struck the large iron tank
located on the bank of the creek, Egbert
farm, and owned by Messrs. Phillips &
Boyles. The tank is a covered one and so
powerful was the stroke that the cover was
lifted entirely up and moved to one side a
short distance. The fluid passed in one
side and evidently moved entirely round
the tank coming out almost directly oppoi
site to the place of entrance. Fortunately
there was no oil in the tank else on exteni
sive conaagratIon would have resulted. The
tank itself was turned sort OF sulphuric
blue color, as were the stones in the vicin-
ity, and the ground was plowed up in sew
eral places where the fluid entered. The
Instant the flash struck the entire tank op-
peared to be one sheet OF fame which died
out at once aud blue aud whiteish vapor
arose which faded away sbortly. 1t was o
sinsular.ire OF lightning.

The oil regions are not alone in having
dull times. Every city aud town In the
United States are complaining OF dullness
in ell trades. There seems to be no N oney

sold lumber in the spring have u OF yet re.
ceived their pay for the same. Time va.
given on nearly oil sales, and yet this pa

Local option does no. appear to work
well 10 Armstrong county, according to a
correspondent of the East Brady Independ-
ent:
We are sorry, indeed, to say thatthe local
option experience of Armstrong county, not
unlike our neiebboring county Of Clarion,
has been such as 20 disgust numbers who
voted against license, ard if aoother elec-
ton were TO be held in the fall to decide ito
fate we seriously doubt ifit could again be
carried. Hard cider is dealt out here, in
the absence OF beer. and whisky men do
drink it aud become Intoxicated upon it,
Its effects are worse than beer, and even
worse than whisky. Beer can not be retail
ed, aud the consequence is that. those who
desire to do go can purchase keg, and in
order to prevent Its spelling friends are call
ed in and dozens of glasses are drank where
one would have sufficed before. How is i,
about whisky? Go 10 the express office
and find out. Almost daily packages arrive
for different parties, who were contented
With single drink before ")ocal option
closed our best OF hotels and saloons. The
brewers have doubled their sales over last
year. 1t is only necessary to visit Kittan-
ming for single day to be perfectly satisfied
to the fact. thai more drunken men are on
our streets than formerly.

MIDSUM NEK.

Through all the long midsummer day
The meadow sides ore sweet with hay,
l seek the coolest sheltered seat,
just where the field and forest meet
Where grow the pine trees tall and bland,
The ancient oaks ausiere and grand,
The fripgy roots and pebbles fret
The ripples Of the rivulet.
watch the mowers as they go
thorough the tall grass o white-sleeved
row:
With even strokes their scythes they
swing,
Iu time their merry whststoneo ring;
Behind the nimble youngsters run
Aud toss the thick swathes In the sun;
The cattle craze, while, warm andstiIl,
Sloops the broad pasture, basks the hilb
And bright, when summer breezes break,
Tie green wheat crinkles like lake.
Sweet woodland music sinks and svelle.
The brooklet rings its iinkling bells,
The swarming insects drone and hum,
The partridge leafs bis throbbing drum,
The squirrel leaps among the bougbs,
And chatters in the lofty house!
The oricle flashes by, and look! -
Into the mirror of the brook,
Where the vain blue bird trims his coat,
Two tiny feathers iali and float.
As silently, as tenderly,
The dawn Of peace descends on me
Oh, this is peace! have no need
OF friends to talk, Of books to read;
A dear Companion here abides!
Close to my thrilling heart He hides;
The holy silence in His voice;
lie and listen, aud rejoice.

about thirty years, when she died.
Shortly after her death he married
again, and his secoud wife preceded
him to the grave four or five years.
Mr.. Cooper lived married life more
that eight years. and the matrimonial

time before his death Two of his sons
