TIE GREAT OIL WE'LL.

A correspondent at Oil City complains that our
paragraph published two or three days ago, an
nounciug tue great flowing well near Bradys Bend,
exaggerated the product of the WELL aud the effect
of il in the way of depressing the price of OIL and
thereby damaged the oil trade. Our correspondent
must be content to know that our information III
regard To the well was directly from Bradys
Bend and that it is substantially confirmed by other
accounts. The fact that this well flowed 20 barrels
in less than two hours, at the start may be perfectly
correct without concluding that il flowed 5000 bar
rels in a hours The East Bead Independent of July
o. SAYS: IL has been estimated By many To be doing
5000 barrels a day, but more candid observers state
that she is doing 100 barrels per hour aud up 10 the
present time has lowed steadily at that rate Adj
mitting oil wells 10 be of the feminine gender, it
seems we did not overstate her much in giving the
quantity at 1900 barrels per day. An OIL City
paper The Derrick, says "She is good
fifteen hundred barrel WELL" In regard to
the price of oil, our informant states it at
GA cents per barrel aud had just before quoted it Ut
92l cents. when doctors disagree who shall de-
cider" We presume, however. that prices may have
been unduly affected under the excitement of the
these statements anything prcjudicia to the oil in

"Tbe young ladies resident near the
famous fishing creeks in this county
are not a few OF them experts with
the line and hook, and we know it is
nothing unusual for the heroine of
this item TO string her half a hundred
trout in a mornings sport. But to
improvise a iisherman's spear from a
torses hoof requires fash of gen.
ius, which, we claim, would be dis
played but by few. Miss Annie
Olds was riding, ia maiden medita-
tiOn fancy Free by the shore of Pa
per-mill Creek, few days ago. when
she happened to espy splendid spec
linen of the salmon trout taking its
ease in the stream. She wanted him.
She had no line at hand, and could
not wait TO go for one. Quick as
. thought she reined in her steed to-
ward the stream, aud plunged in,
guiding his steps with such delicate
precision that when she wheeled him
back to shore the fish had keeled over
and risen to the surface, speared by
the calks Of the maiden's horse. Miss
Olds took the trout home with her
and it weighed tN elve pounds.

a Lot Of Wood.

About 1887, farmer of our ac-
quaintance-wbo is at present not
u very old man-camc into possess
ion of piece of land of Is acres in
extent, upon which was a young
growth Of pine and hard wood, the
former growing chiefly by itself
He ha~ cut his firc-wood from it-and
he co .sgnes large 'wood-pile' annu-
ally-rcarly every year during the
past - years; and some years since
built a house and barn, and rebuilt
another barn the timber for the
frames OF which, and the rough
boards to cover them, were also cut
from the LOT of land in question.
Previous to 1860 $500 worth of pine
timber were also sold from the lot.
There is also upon it a good sugar
orchard, which for many years has
been profitable source of income
About one year 1868, $1,000 worth
af pine lumber was sold from this lot
of land at one time, TO lumber manu-
featuring firm on the Kenebeck River,
and the farmer still has the land, up
on which are growing q large num-
Der of pines, which promise, at no
very distant day to become a srce
of income to its future own
er Had the land been sold in 1887
for its appraised value, $l59; and the
money kept at compound interest till
now, it would not begin to have rcaliz-
ee the amount that was paid the man
for the one lot of pine lumber sold in
1868. Another enterprising farmer
is cutting from bis farm, and deliv-
ering on the banks of the kenebec
River, this winter, about $4,000 feet
of pine lumber for which he will re-
ceiye $4,000 in cash. Facts like the
above, which have occurred in one
locality in this State, and which rep
resent but a period of about 40 years,
should encourage all farmers to let
their waste lands grow up to wood
and timber trees-especialy for
herapid growing kinds. The Farmer.

4 wyoming Ball.

Miss, from WilGer's gulch,
says a reporter describing far-wes
tern ball, was elegantly attired in a
handsom buff grosgrained buckskin
dress, with army blanket overskirt,
bottom looped up with buckskin
strings cut bias. Hair dressed la
Red Cloud, in which was twined a
few sprigs of sage bush, the whole
secured behind in a bunch with a
handsome pin made with pine splin-
ter and a buffalo's ear. She wore
an elegant mountain cat-skin cap,
festConed with antelope tails, secured
under the chin with rattlesnake
skin Her feet were encased in buck
skin moccasins ornamented with
beads and soldier buttons. She crca-
ted big sensation as she entered the
ball hanging upon the arm Of Mr.. w.
Barton, of Hallvill, who was dressed
in the style of his locality-buckskin
be ,chos in boots, hunting shirt of
the same, ornamented with beads and
tobacco juice, an army belt of the
latest pattern around his waist Sc
curing pair of six shooters and a
huge bowie knife, which. set off his
gallant figure to good advantage
Envious glances from both sexes fol-
lowed this handsome couple, round
the hall. Several ladies and gentle
men from the mining districts were
present, and expressed themselves
wei ] pleased with the manner
in which the party was conducted.
Their frequent exclamations Of delight
such as red hot you bet," "ain't it
fruit, though" ''hoop Ia" etc., plain
ly indicated thatthey were enjoying
themselvesin in the best possible manner.

The Laughing Plant.

The London Garden copies, from
Palgrave's work on Centrrl and Eas-
tern Arabia, an account of plant
whose seeds produce effects similar
! to those of laughing gas. 1t is a
native of Arabia. A dwarf variety at
/ Oman, which attains to a height OF
! from three to four feet, with woody
stems, wide-spreading branches and
bright green foliage. Its flowers
are produced in clusters, and are of a
bright yellow color. The seed pods
are soft and woolly in. texture, and
contain two or three black seeds, Of
the size and shape of a French beam
Their flower is little like that of
opium, and their taste is sweet the
odor from them produces a sickening
sensation and is slightly offensive.
The seeds contain the essential
property Of this extraordinary plant,
and, when pulverized and taken in
small doses, operate upon aperson in a
most peculiar manner. He begins TO
laugh loudly, boisterously; then he
sings, dances and cuts all manner Of
fantastic capers. Such extravaganza
of gesture and manners was never
produced by any other kind of dos
ing. The effect continues about an
hour, and the patient is uproariOusly
comical. When the excitement
ceases, the exhausted exhibitor falls
into a deep sleep, which continues
for an hour or more; and when he
awakens, be is utterly unconscious
that any such demonstrations have
been under the sun; but this peculiar
plant, recently discovered, as it ex-
ercises the most extraordinary intiu-
ence over the human brain, demands
from men of science a careful investi-

Sunshine.

Did you ever notice what differ
ent aspect everything wears in ih,
sunshine from what il does in tn,
shadow? And did you ever thinl
what an anology there was between
the sunlight and the cloudlesS skie,
and the sunshine that CLEANS into
the darkcned chambers of the human
soul How bright and beautiful are
the golden beams that break at last
through the rivcn clouds to tighten
up the world again after a succession
Of dark and stormy days. How
peaceful and happy are the blissfuI
words of hope and cheer that touch
the heart and fill the soul with. emo.
tion and peace and joy after a long
period of sorrow and despondencv
when uttered by some disinterested
friend. There are none living that
do mt, in a greater or less degree,
have an influence over the earthly
happiness of others. The sense Of
contributing to the pleasure Of Others
augments our own happiness. Tn
selGishness. Christian charity; and
loving kindness, are the sunbeams oI
the soul.

Planting Timber.

1t will be but very few years be.
fore timber becomes very much en-
hanced in value. Ten years more
will see the supply in the northwest
greatly reduced in quantity. Nc
more PORTABLE use of land can be
made than to plant walnut, chestnut,
hickory, oak, spruce, ash. maple, pop
ular, and other trees that have a val.
uc in the arts for their timber. Ii
is highly probable that, as pine be,
comes more costly, it will be used
only as jois:s. rafters and flooring,
and that brick and stone will be more
commonly employed as building ma,
terials. When this occurs the stock
of pine, throughout the country, will
be found to last almost indefinitely
The more valuable pine trees grow
very slowly, and would hardly bt
probable to plant.
