ITEMS FROM OILDOM.


FRANKLIN, Pa, Sept. l1th, 1873.
Mr.. Editor :-Thinking You might
like some news from this region |
have concluded to furnish YOU some
items whenever you wish them.
Yesterday was a gala day here as
we'll as throughout all North West
ern Penna. We remember Petry's
Victory on Lake Erie. There were
Picnics, Paradcs, Fire Works,
Torch-light professions &c, and
everybody saw everybody's friends,
got perfectly tired out, and went
home in the evening, looking rather
blue, thinking it had been n perfect
hore-but.a .after. Sleeping upon it the
decision is "Haun't we a Splen did
tile, dc ?"
Times have been quite hard here
for several months, on account of
Dollar Oil, but the prospects are
frightening up considerably.
To-day the great Lawsuit against
the Standard Oil Co. and the United
Pipe Lines come off. The people
have decided that they will no long
Ell be the dupes of these monOpolists
The season for Fairs has arriy-
ed-and there are to be so very
many in the vicinity that one does
not know where to go.
But now, as everybody desires to
improve, to learn all they can-I
must tell you about a Teachers Ex-
animation, at which it was my for
tune to be present in an adjoining
county short time since, and AS |
learned SO much, it would be selfish
to keep it to myself, therefore,
inform you for the good of the pub
lie. | ascertained that Ben Frank
lin discovered Amerlca-That An
drew Jackson was chosen Pres. of
the Southern cOnferacy-That the
cause of the Rebellion was because
there were too many people In the
! u. 5. and therefore some must be
killed-That America was named
after Napoleon Bonaparte-But l
must not tell you any more now, it
is not good to learn too much at
once, the shock might prove too
great for you and | should be held
responsible. But | be- you not to
doubt these things, though they may
greatly surprise you, for they must
be true, because they all got certifi-
Gates
could tell you many more things
but think [ had better defer some
till my next letter. Au-reroir.

MILLHEIM is certainly big town,
else itscould not have Hcontained so
much greatness rs it did on Friday
last. An Ex-Governor, a prospect
i've Governor, at least a half dozen
other HonOrables, with a lot of
'Squires too numerous TO mention,
to say nothing of a host of candi-
dates. This was certainly an array
of greatness present tlat larger
towns might enjoy. The truth is
however, that J. Newman, Jr., is Il
bigger man than they all, in his
particular line. Candidates find it
imperative to get their clothing from
him III order to make the bes0 ap-
pearance before the people.

The Democratic meeting liz Mill
helm, on Friday evening was grand
affair of its kind. The announce
ment that Ex-Governor Curtin and
Mr.. Dlll, Democratic candidate for
Governor, would both he present,
brought out hundreds of people from
every direction all around. Especi-
ally did Brush Valley send large
delegation.
When night came and Mr.. Dill was
not yet present it was feared that
something had occurred to prevent
him from coming. The meeting was
under full head-Governor Curtin
Just delivering one of his best
speeches, when 4 commotion in The
rear of the meeting indicated that
something unusual was up, and
DILL dill" Dill" was soon
shouted from every part of the vast
meeting. The Senator worked
through the crowd and mounted the
stand and was introduced TO the
meeting, which greeted him with
round after round of applaus. The
Senator then retired and Gov. Cur
tin proceeded with his speech. The
Governors speech was peculiarly
stirring and had happy effect upon
the people.
Mr.. Dill followed in a speech of
great force and argument. 1t was
his first appearance among our peo-
pie and he made n very favorable
impression upon them. The high
repute in which he was held by all
classes and parties here, was fully
sustained by his personal presence.
He Is just of make up calculated
to make friends, and our people were
universally pleased with him.
Speeches were. also made by DE.
Fortndy, Esq, of BelIefonte. and
VIM. p. Fnry, Esq, of Washington
City, and it was late hour when
the meeting adjourned.

What the Papers Say.

The Texarkana Democrat has the fol-
lowing good words for "Billy Wood
ruff p
We are much gratfied at the almost
unanimous endorsement Maj. Woodruff
is receiving for the position of State
Treasurer. He has spenta fortune bat
Ting for Democracy. To-day he is poor
man in need of the relief that the posi-
sition would afford him. No man in the
State has purer or better record.
There is no act of his life, whether as a
private citizen or soldier, but what any
man would be proud to own. His com
petitor, Gen. Churchill, is man Of
stainless character but is wealthy. Plcn-
ty surrounds him. and he needs not the
office. Besides we believe in rotation in
Office. If the Democracy would show
its appreciation Of the battle that Mai.
Woodruff has fought, it will cast solid
vote for him.
The Osceo'a Times says: Maj. VIM.
Il. Woodruff is favorably spoken of all
over the State as suitable material out of
which to shape q candidate for State
Treasurer. No better selection out Of
our extensive forests, could be made and
at the same time pay just and we'll
merited tribute to one who has made
many personal sacrifices, of both time
and money, in the interest of the whole
people of the State. Shove him in the
Treasurer's office.
