The Philadelphia Extor-
tionistS.

Four dollars appears to be
the regular charge for a dinner
that would be dear at one dol
lar, soda water is retailed at
fifteen cents, eggs at twenty
five cents each, fifty cents for a
sandwich, and the same for a
cup of coffee, and all other prl-
ces in the same outrageous pro-
portion. IF the directors per-
nit such a thing within the
grounds, the enterprise ought to
fail in the most signal manner,
and we believe it will. ROBBIE
ry in the name Of exhibiting
the nations progress ought not
to be permitted, and if it is
longer permitted to continue
the American people ought to
put a stop to it by staying away
from Philadelphia.

What Came Of Throwing Fire
Ball into a Catfish Run.

i On Cry, Pa, May 15.-A
J singular phenomenon can nov
be seen in Clarion county, Pa.
within fifty miles of this city.
on. a small stream known a.
Catfish run. For a long time
ithe inhabitants Of that locality
have noticed commotion on
the surface of the water, like
that made by gas bubbling to
the surface. These bubbles have
been seen for many years, but no
particular notice was taken of
them until recently, when the
iquantity of escaping gas In
creased, and the surface Of the
stream for several rods was COW
cred with bubbles. A strong
smell of gas also impregnated
the air in the vicinity.
Last month the place was vis-
tied by several gentlemen who
had heard of the phenomenon.
They became convinced that it
was gas and determined to test
its burning qualities. A bunch
t of rags was obtained at FARM
house and thoroughly saturated
with kerosene. TO this a match
was applied and the burning
ball thrown into the stream.
Before it reached the surface of
the water the gas ignited and
slight explosion followed. Ina
few moments the body of the
gas burned steadily, and in ev-
cry portion of the stream small
flames sprung up where the gas
escaped in moderate quantities.
Since that day the gas has con-
tined to burn, and the area Of
the stream covered by it has in.
creased until now the fires ex-
tend a quarter of a mile up and
down the run.
Catfish run is sluggish
stream bounded on either side
by steep, wooded bluffs. At
night the scene along the burn
ing stream is magnificent. The
fires light up the dark forest, and
sparkle on the waters, making a
spectacle rarely Witnessed. This
stream is contiguous to oil terri
tory, and the only satisfactory
theory Of the source of the gas
is that it arises from petroleum
deposits beneath the water, as
the same phenomenon, although
the gas was in less quantity, has
been noticed on Oil Creek.

OHuOANIN TENNESSEE.

J. S. Patterson, of Erie county
Ohio, having been on a trip of OBJ
servation through the South,
writes to the Country Gentleman
giving his opinion of our section.
He speaks of Tennessee as being
one Of the best points for the
Northern men to settle, and then
adds:
"Let no Northern man be de-
tered from going South by the
partisan hue and cry Of Southern
nate and intolerance toward Yam
KEGS. This is one of the devils
own ISLANDERS. Nothing promises
so much immediate aid to the de-
pressed South as the influx of
Northern energy and capital. =
This is perfectly understood and
freely acknowledged. Every In
telligent person you meet, and all
the leading journals in the South.
are vlelng with one another, each
in his special way, to encourage
immigration. They do not want
Northern politicians to come down
there and run their State and mu
nicipal governments, but they do
want working and business men
from the North to settle among
them. All are sure of cordial
welcome. I am quite inclined to
think that farmers may do better
10 go South than to go West i
hence / send this brief statement,
founded on personal observation.

say or not to say anything what
ever concerning the South or its
people, and he has not the slight
est interest except that Of having

A queer story Of a dumb
courtship, and its consequences,
is reported from Blanchester,
Ohio. About a year ago a Mai.
Zeigler appeared there as a deaf
mute, but bis cloduence, aided
by his handsome person and
expressive eyes, had trenleE-
aous effect upon the rustic
bellies, and soon he was ac-
knowledged ladykiller of the
town. He looked and listened
without hearing a word, to their
sentimental mornings, and they
all declared him 'sperfectly love-
ly. Among his fair victims was
a beautiful girl, possessed of a
round fortune in her own right,
and her he welded.
Thereupon helost his cloquence
unutterable, and talked in every
day, Inatter-offact fashion, and
the happy bride found that she
could not reckon, among the va
rious forms Of bliss in store for
her, that of never having words
With her husband; and he ex-
planned his imposture by telling
a romantic story about some re-
ligious vow not to utter word
until after he was married.
Then he sickened, and on his
death-bed confessed his true
name, he had married her as
plain Mr.. Avery and had his
"other wife, and children, who
lived within a hundred miles or
so, sent for to receive his last
words. The lawful Mrs. Zeigler
came betraying no concern, ex-
cept to collate carefully, latter his
death, the evidence to establish
his identity, in order to collect
a policy OF insurance OH his life;
and now the bellies of Blanches-
ter are inxulnerabls to all mute
eloquence.
