How Officials w re Once Paid.

1t is not q generally known historical
fact that from 1777 to 1884 the territory
now known as tennessee formed a
part of North Carolina, and that in
1885, the Tennesseeans, becoming dis
satisfied with their government, organ
lied a State government under the
name of 'Franklyn,' which was main
tanned for some years. The organiza-
ton afterward disbanded, and Terri
torial Tennessee was again annexed to
North Carolina. The following is
among the laws passed by the Legls-
lature of the State of Franklyn. We
copy as found in speech by Daniel
Webster on the currency in 1888:
BE it enacted by the General As
sembly of the State of'Franklyn, and it
is hereby enacted by the authority of
the same That from the first day of
January, 1779, the salaries of the
officers of this Commonwealth be as
follows, to-wit:
His Excellency the Governor, per

NORTH Hope March IS, 81

There is well finished this week on
the Rumbaugh farm in Washington
to vnship, aud the result is duster.
This is the third we'll drilled on this
farm. In the other two oil was OBJ
taincd in paying quantities.
The first we'll was drilled and the
oil struck at the same time that the
first Greece City we'll was struck
This well was believed by men of ex
perience to be good .or fifteen or twenty
barrels per day if it had been properly
handled, but rot being spouter as
was the Greece, it was neglected and
not tested for over two months after
oil was struck, being filled with oil and
salt water all that time, it was dam
aged, but still it produces about seven
barrels per day when pumped
Sometime after there was another
we'll put down about fifty rods south
west of the first, with less oil and a
close sand rock. 1t was pumped un-
til it produced more than a thousand
barrels. 5 i'll later there was another
put down about on the same line, half
IL mile distant, on the Isaac Thompson
farm result dry. Still another on
lands of David Stewart, no oil in pay
ing quantities. Then there was one
drilled northwest of the first well on
the Rumbaugh farm, on what was once
the James Stoops farm, this was also
dry. Sometime after there was an
other put down due west of the Rum
baugh farm, dry also. With this
amount of operating and results as
stated, it would appear to casual OBJ
server that to locate and drill another
well west of the first well on the Rum
baugh farm would he injudicious, but
strange as it may appear the well now
finished is nearly on line and mid
way between two busters. Its loca-
cion is wondered at by practical opera
tors.

derstand or exp ain it unless it be by

l2nHROAD NEWS.

Anything in the way of railroad
news is always interesting TO our peo-
pie. We want more outlets, and the
newly found mines of coal in this coun-
tv we believe will soon give them to
US. The latest agreeable news, is that
there is some hope of soon having a
connection between the narrow guage
road now ending here and the Harmony
one. The object is to have competing
road from Pittsburgh to the upper oil
fields. and it is said the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company have deter
mined to secure that by combining the
present narrow gauges and filing up
the wanting link from Butler to point
at or near Evansburg this county. This
done. and the short link from Parker to
Foxburg made, then the entire road is
complete to Bradford. We only hope
that late news we hear may all be true.
The Baltimore & Ohio Company is
struggling for further trade connections
and its efforts may be of much advan-
tage to the people of our county.
If an air line railroad from New York
to Omaha, Neb., is ever made it will
pass a few miles north OF Butler Mr..
Perry Smith, of Centre township, met
some eastern gentleman at Brady's
Bend last week, who were out looking
at the formation of the country along
the Allegheny river, near where this
road would pass over the same, and he
is fully impressed with the belief that
the time is not far distant when the air
line project from New York will be
commenced.

an attraction in kline, name and place,
but the enclosure Of small lot by
high and strong fence and used for
bull pen, though the bull was not a
Buffalo neither from Buffalo, fails to
explain.
1t is confidently and generally be-
leved that if they had drilled a well
a short distance from and northeast
of the first well, and if t rock would
improve in that direction as much as 1t
decreased and become close in the OPP
posite, they ;would have in all proha-
biIity got good well. There is no
doubt in the minds of operators ac-
qua nted with the foregoing facts that
there is better oil territory in this
township, than has yet been found in
it. There are hundreds Of acres lying
east and north east of the first well,
that never has been tested, and 1t Is
hoped that if there are any more wells
put down in that vicinity that the To-
cation may be more favorable than the
one just being finished.

the privilege of attending an exhibit

We were entertained beyond expecta-
ton, remembering that there are only
about 90 scholars. and most of them
small The declamations, rchearsa!s,
reading dialogues, tableaus, music,
&c, were all of the highest order. The
audience kept rather good order ex-
cept those persons "around the stove
pipe" who kept time to the music.
At the close of the performances, Esq

remarks. He informed US that the

We farmers around here do not have

can guess where the boys get them.
The trouble is, the boys are given

ABOUT the smallest piece of business
we have noticed at Harrisburg this
winter. was the expulsion from the floor
of the House, last week, of the reporter
for the Pittsour5 Commercial Gazette.
The cause for this rough treatment was
some criticism the reporter made in the
Commercial Gd-eite relative to the ac-
t;on Of Speaker Hewitt on the Ale
gheny county relief bill, but be that
what it may the Speaker adopted a
very lnwi-c remedy in asking for the
expulsion of reporter. A Speaker
has ample way for otherwise vindica-
ting himself.
