his maker once, but stangely confused
in outside development, stop and gaze
as in trance the other day. We
approached = "friend," we kindly
whispered, "why dost thou cast thine
eye so iniently upon the sidewalk?"
"Oh" he returned, "observest thou
that spot upon the foot .path2" We
answered YEA" "There," said he "but
moment since lay nickel, dropped |
from some childish hand, that spot is
hallowed by the magic touch of money
and am happy once more, to see such
place" As he said this such look of
contentment passed over his face as
few ever have the pleasure of witness
ing. We congratulated him on his
good fortune and passed on, thinking
of our wash bill
Some time during Friday night,
or early Saturday morning, eight of
the prisoners made their escape from
the county Jail at Butler 1t ap-
pears they raised plate of the rear
floor over the sewer, the rivets of which
had beeh broken, and getting into the
sewer, made their way into the main
cellar through hall, and escaped
from the building by digging through
under the wall Of the Jail. Foreman,
found guilty last week of attempting
to poison Snyder, is amorg the mum
ber Of escaped prisoners.
We notice in the Housewife cor.
respondence of the Derrick that Rev.
r. r. Robei is was announced to preach
in the Baptist church of that place,
on Sunday afternoon last. If its our
| Ralph, we don't understand it, as he
was, when here, Methodist of the
most radical kind. If it is him, we
must suppose that he has become a
"close communion" preacher since he
has left here.
1t is always darkest just before
the dawn. We don't know how dark
it has to be to make a real first class
dawn; perhaps the man that got up
early and found it out can say, but
according to our feelings and thSeeD
eral appearance of the community
we should say that most glorious
dawn would be peculiarly appropri-
ate just at the present time.
The great fall of rain which
caused such high water in the Alleghe'
ney and its tributaries, displayed ;tsell
quite prominently in oil creek ard
the other smaller streams which are
connected with that usually staid and
placid stream. Water was as plenty
on the surface as oil has been below.
Considerable Inconvenience and some
damage accrued.
Although everything in the line
Of merchandise continues to fall the
sun rises every day. According to
this a genius says if refined oil keeps
on the downward way lamp light will
be cheaper than day light. Probably
he was gassing.
Every cloud has silver lining
that is, generally. We would like
about % yards cf such and if that
t stock, owing to the hard times, is out
E 80 yards of the same nickel plated.
"A big fire took place at Modoc or
Friday last, and thirteen building;
! were burned. A man named Ellsassel
was arrested on suspicion Of being the
iEcendiary.

have taken place on this, and the A
