October Oil Report,

a synopsis of the Dcrrick's October
oil report shows that 229 wells were
completed during the month, yielding
in the aggregate $500 barrels. Twenty
four dry holes were found in all the
districts. A number of important
wildcat ventures were finished with
unsatisfactory results. Developments
were increasing to a considerable eX-
tent in the Bradford field where 222
wells were drilling on the first of
November, and 263 rigs up and build
ing, against lS2 wells drilling and 223
rigs up and building on the first day
of October. In Venango, Crawford
and Warren district IA rigs are up and
building and Is wells drilling; in
Clarion Is rigs are up and building and
II wells drilling; in Butler IA rigs are
up and building and 33 wells drilling.
This makes total in all the districts
of 30S rigs up aud building and 2s2
wells drilling. In the lower districts,
Armstrong, Butler and Clarion coun-
ties, the production has decreased
slightly, while in the Bradford field
| it has increased somewhat. Total
shipments for the month were l,73s,-
957 barrels.

Thanksgiving PROCLAMATION.


The President has issued the follow
ing:
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES A PROCLAMATION: The recur-
reuce of that season at which it is the
habit of our people to make q devout
and public confession of their
constant. dependence upon Divine
favor for all good gifts of life and hap
piness and of public peace and pros
perity, exhibits in the record of the
abundant reasons for our gratitude and
thanksgiving. Exuberant harvests,
productive mines, ample crops and
staples of trade and manufacture have
enriched the country. The resources
thus furnished to reviving industry
and expanding commerce are hasten
ing the day when discords and dis
tresses through the length and breadth
of the land will, under the continued
favor of Providence, have given way
to confidence and energy and as
sured prosperity. Peace with all
nations has remained unbroken; do
mestic tranquility has prevailed, and
the institutions of liberty and justice
which the wisdom and virtue of our
fathers established remain the glory
and defense of their children. The
general prevalence of the blessings of
health through our wide land has
made more conspicuous the sufferings
and sorrows which the dark shadow
of pestilence has cast upon portion of
our people. This heavy affiiction even
the Divine Ruler has tempered to the
suffering communities in the universal
aid and succor which have flowed to
their relief, and the whole nation may
rejo ce in the unity of spirit in our
people by which they cheerfully share
one another's burdens.
Now therefore 1, Rutherford p.
Hayes, President of the United States,
do appoint Thursday, the 2Sth of No
vember next, as a day Of National
thanksgiving and prayer, and I ear
nestly recommend that, withdrawing
themselves from secular cares and Ia
bors, the people of the United States
do meet together on that day in their
respective places Of worship, there to
give thanks and praise to Almighty
God for his mercies and to devoutly
beseech their contin uance.
In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed. Done at
the city of Washington this 30th day
of October, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and seventy
eight, and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
third. r. B. HAYES.

THE NJ. E. sub district Sunday
school institute, held at Brockwayville
the last three days of October, was on
quite success, although at the begin
ming it looked somewhat like as though
it would be failure, owing to the alb
sence of several persons who were eX-
pected to be present and take part in
the exercises. Prof Excel, the singer,
was among the missing. Revs. Talbot,
Burns, Taylor, Ellison, Hunt and
Kelley were present, also large num-
ber of workers representing the laity.
The sessions of the institute were all
well attended by the people of Brock
wayville and vicinity, and in the even
ings the church was crowded. The
questions discussed were mostly of a
practical character and elected con-
siderable discussion without much
controversy. The musical exercises
were conducted by our home talent
and were remarkably good, considering
the circumstances, for Professor Excel
was expected until within few hours
of the opening of the Institute. Rev.
e. Q. Hunt led the choir with his cor
net, while Mrs Mclaughlin presided
at the organ, and SO well were they
assisted by the ladies and gentlemen
composing the choir that we soon
forgot our disappointment. While we
did not have Excel we had Excellent
music and an Excellent institute all
through. ]. w. NJ.

Whilst the Adventists are consic

Whilst the Adventists are consid-
ering the probabilities of great events
on earth, from prophetic standpoint,
a representation of wal, pestilence
and famine comes from another
quarter. The Science of Health, a
medical journal, says that these woes
to mankind are kelly to occur during
the ensuing seven years, caused by the
approaching perihelion of the four
largest planets of our solar system,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Between the theologians and the
scientists, nervous people may per-
haps get disturbed. The example in a
story told of legislative body in the
early times of New England'will.be a
good one to follow. The end of the
world had been predicted to take place
on specified day, and at the appoint
ed time great darkness began to pre-
vail, causing general terror. A motion
to adjoin was made. "No, Mr. Speak
ell" said sturdy-souled Puritan, "send
for candles, and let us go on with busi-
ness if the end of the world is coming
want to be found doing my duty"
His view prevailed; the session was
continued, and the darkness soon
passed away,

A few years ago Maine was the great
est numbering State in the Union, but
now she is the sixth on the list, and the
business is rapidly falling off by reason
of the wasting away of the forests and
the competition of Western men. Ship
builders at Portland say they can get
pine masts and spars from the Pacific
coast cheaper than they can cut them
i'm their own woods. Maine Is fast
learning that her farming lands possess
a greater permanent value than her
timber lands.

The L. L. f.. Road.

4 correspondent of the Philadelphia
Record has recently travelled over the
P. & E. road, and from Reno~o sends
that journal a most flattering exhibit
of its present freight traffic. He says
it is greater than at ar Y time in the
history of the read. A large part of
this freight consists of wheat and corn
from the elevators at Erie, soft coal
from st. Marys and lumber and mer-
chandise. Hard coal going west is
also large item. At Remove from
!, 200 to 800 cars are handled per day,
and yet the business upcrintendent
finds il almost impossible to keep up
with the demand. The writer adds:
"Trains are found all along the road
at intervals of only mile or two, and
many Of them are of great length. A
few days 40 u train OF 10 cars, in
Guiding the engine and two cabo0ses,
was moved from Emporium to Remove,
q distance of forty-siX miles, in three
hours and forty minutes. The weight
of the train was over $500 tons, and
railroad men claim that greater feat
was never accomplished by a d engine
before. A train of this number of cars
is about mile in length. OF the
enormous number of cars handled
daily at least two.thirds are loaded.
During the month of August 29,OS8
cars were moved on the division. The
returns for September are not compiled
yet, but they viii! gre tly exceed those
of the previous month, and October
promises to be greater still. The great
yard at Remove is often so blocked
with arriving and departing freight
trains that there is scarcely room to
handle them. All crews and engines
are changed here, which adds to the
life and activity of the town. 1t is
expected that the same number of men
employed in the shops will be kept at
work all winter, as there promises to
be an abundance of work"

Mr.. EDITOR: Havinga little leisure
while visiting some friends in your
town, l, in company with a friend,
visited Miss Atherton's department of

both as to department and proficiency
in the studies. The teacher held the
school we'll in hand and had every
thing in first rate order. She certainly
deserves credit for efficiency in her
profession. j. w. MARTIN.
