The Fat Contributor" says in last
Saturday Night: "Some heartless para
grapher thinks it would be easy enough
for Dan Rice to start menagerie be-
cause the wolf is always at his door.
Rice though poor enough, can never
be troubled with the wolf at his door.
His present wife was the only child of
a wealthy banker in Girard, Pa,
named O'Connell. They were mar
ried in the Fall of 1861, it being a run
away match. Rice was then 81 and
his wife l6. Her father, a Presbyterian
deacon, was terribly chagrined and en-
ragged because the idol of his heart
and home married Snowman, and
he refused to recognize them. At his
death, however, he bequeathed his
property to their son Dan Rice Jr.,
whose mother has the benefit of the
interest until the boy becomes of age.
The property amounts to about $751;
600. So don't worry yourselves over
poor Dan Rice.

Clan Cameron.

From the Baltimore Gazette.
There is something of moral force
and grandeur in the rule of the Cam
erons in Pennsylvania. Since Simon
the First rose from his humble print
ing office and began to sway the poll
tics of that State fifty Empires have
come and gone among men. He saw
the Fourth William of England sink
into the grave and Victoria ascend the
throne. He saw Charles X of France
fleeing before the wrath OF betrayed
people; saw Louis Philippe dethroncd
in France and Republic established,
and he saw the usurping Napoleon
rise to the head of an Empire, while
he was great in the State, and saw
him tumble off his pasteboard throne
like clown in the pantomime. Since
he become the dictator of politics in
Pennsylvania, Austria, Italy and
Greece have successively been shaken
by the revolution. He has known two
Cars of Russia and three Kings of
Italy, and has seen the Padishas of
Turkey come and go like puppets in
the skilled hands of Snowman. New
worlds have grown up and have been
fitted with rulers since he became the
leader of men. He has seen the Pal
merstons and the great Premiers of Eu-
rope rise to power and dwindle out of
sight. He saw Thiers twice the savior
of France, and then followed him to
his grave In all these years his power
has remaited unchanged and unshaken
and he passes his sceptre to his son,
with undiminished grandeur. while
he steps back into ease and domestic
peace, with the complacency of Lear
who divided his kingdom. Great is
the name of Cameron, and great is the
dynasty which Simon has founded in
Pennsylvania. 1t is mighty power
to-day, and it will doubtless exist with
vigor unimpaired, when the New
Zealand traveller sketches the ruins
of st. Paul, and when the last of
the race of the drunken weavers
of Moyamensing pauses on frosty
moonlight night in front of the dial on
Independence Hall, and, leaning
against the fence, musingly contem-
plates the marches of the centuries on
its pale face.

son township, and removed last spring
to the northwestern part of Kansas, in

return for his wife and children, who

sas, he formed the acquaintance of a
certain female. and in short time be-
came too intimate, so much 80 that
since his return numerous letters have

Much exc itement was created in
oil circles Oh the 10th by reports from
the bullion district that PhilIipj' well,
on the r. Vanderlin farm, had struck
and was flowing at the rate of l,00C
barrels a day. Reliable intelligence
places the production at from 500 to
500. The well is owned by Phillips
Brothers, who have drilled twenty-five
dry holes in search of this belt. The
bullion district is in Venango county,
eighteen miles from Oil City. In con-
sequence of the strike the market de-
clined from so 5-S to So SIS, notwith-
standing desperate efforts of the bulls
to prevent it.

We learn that meeting of few
of the moneyed kings of Wellsville was
held a few evenings since to discuss
the subject of morrow gauge railroad
from that place to Eldred. From
what we can CLEAN the cost of con plet-
ing the road was estimated at Sl25, 900.
1t is said that over 1000 would be
subscribed Immediately by parties re-
siding in Wellsville. 1t is understood
that the Wellsville people are anxious,
if the road should be built, to have the
control of the same, and it would prob
ably be owned by few individuals.
If the road should be built it would
certainly get a large passenger bu-
siness,. and if the oil territory in the
vicinity of Wellsville should prove
fruitful, the road would in short
time be an important one as connect
ing line between two oil fields.-EI
