For the REPUBLICAN.
On Faith and Oil.

Men often speak of faith in meet
ings. 1t is refreshing subject to talk
about, especially "a faith grounded On
hope" We could write cart lead of
sentiments on this higher faith, reduc-
ing to black and white many theories
never dreamed of by the theologians
but we wont do it. Yet the man who
works industriously for the develope-
ment of trade, for the benefit Of the
world (and himself too) in wildcat
ting" for oil, is entitled to credit; and
is an example Of faith, especially when
by his acts he proves that that faith is
backed by works. Yet to take that
German poets.line as standard: "That
he who makes one blade of grass to
grow where not one grew before is
philanthropist," he who puts down
an Gil well, more uncertain thing,
and spends his funds in developeing the
resources of earth, dives into the mys.
teries of nature, to bless his section of
country with prosperity, makes the
desert to "bud and blossom as the
rose" from a financial standpoint.
Have we such persons as we have de-
scribed among us2 Let us look about
and see. DIR. Carson Shamburg, a
gentleman of great experience in the
oil Developments, and whose name is
historical in the Venango and Butler
Districts, has moved into Forest, and
is pleasantly situated at the mouth of
West Hickory. He is man of great
ingenuity and foresight. He has become
interested in that valley largely, and
is developing and producing to-day
large quantities of oil, as any one can
see who will look at the line of his oil
wells and works extending from the
mouth of the creek up as far as the
Fogle Farm. 1t is hardly worth while
now to say, (what the commercial
world knows that the West Hickory
oil eclipses any lubricating oil in the
market. This has long been demon
strated. DIR. S. has got the best of
machinery, and is already making
these old wells tell. The DIR. has un-
limited faith in the territory.
Then there is Geo. NJ. Kepler, who
has put up rig on the Charles Hill
farm, four miles above Tionesta, aud
will soon have a well down. His der.
rick and other buildings as well as
"the enginery for action" are on the
sod. we can only have hope that his
efforts may be crowned with the success
which those efforts merit. He, too
has strong faith, and that faith mixed
with the sand to 60 ahead.
OF the Grandin Bros, who are
through their efficient agent, Peter
Berry, sinking down wells in the viii,
derness of Salmon Creek and Ball,
town, you have heretofore apprized
your readers by notes at various times
They have proved that portion of the
county beyond doubt to be an oil
section. Great credit is due to them
for their efforts, which have produced
results that place the territory before
she world as desirable.

His First shave.

nanion sat near the front at Burdette's
lecture one evening. When the Iowa
man had just finished convulslng his
hearers with an account Of ayouth's irst
shaving encounter with barber. tue
young man leaned over and whispered ;
That's true to life, / can tell you.'
How can you tell mes' inquired MS
girl.
'Hsw? he inquired in whisper; why

when was that p she asked.

he replied.
what mustache'' she queried,a "A little

What mustache do you suppose he

why, Charley whispered the girl
& never saw any mustache. Do yo'

Never mind what l mean,' Kissed
the young man between his clenche'
teeth. And he stared very hard at tn
