ural Gas.
The city of Bradford, Pa, and other places
in the neighborhood are all lighted and heated
with gas from well bored for oil, but found
to be unproductive The force of the gas was
such that when lighted pillar of fire fifty
feet high was formed with roar that could be
heard for mile or more The well had been
burning for a long time before the feasibility
of utilizing it was thought of. A company
was formed for the purpose of carrying the
gas into the city, and it is now distributed all
over the place in pipes. A gas pipe with jets
attached is run into the parlor or kitchen stove
and when fire is needed lighted match is
thrown in and the gas turned on. The gas
possesses great heating qualities, and apart
ments are warmed as quickly and better than
if coal was used. For Illuminating purposes
it was not SO good at first, but processes for
refining were applied, and now the natural il
luminator is unsurpassed by the finest artificial
gas 1t lis so cheap-being supplied at a
monthly rate, instead of by the thousand-that
the people seldom put out their lights. 1t is
DuTu6u I'LL uty duu AlSAeo IL oeoAoo, Aoeoio,
private houses, and even in the streets, mu-
picipal moonlight being unknown. Gas wells
have come to be more valuable than oil wells
and the sudden and phenomenal appearance OF
oil in some of the principal wells has created
CONSERVATION among the owners and consul
mers. A few days ago one of the wells
ceased in its gas supply, and on examination
it was found to be halffull of oil. Fifteen bar
rels OF excellent crude oil were pumped out
and the gas flowed again. One or two of the
other wells have exhibited the same phenom-
enon, and it is necessary to pump out the oil
daily before the gas will flow. The sudden
appearance of oil in territory that was consid-
cred dry has not yet been satisfactorily ex
planned.

fitting and of no particular pattern, her slip~
pers are broken down; her hair is uncombed
her voice is either shrill or coarse You have
seen her stand out in the back yard, and put a
bare arm up to her eyes, and under it peer out
to the fence or barn, where man in an i'll
fitted coat IS searching for something, and here
her shout: John! can't George bring me
some water?' And you have heard him cry
back, 'sIf he don't get that water I'll take every
inch of flesh from his bones" And when YOU
have looked at her again, does it it seem pos
slble that those angry eyes have dropped in
maidenly reserve or raised in coquettish light
to the face OF the man in the ill-fited coat !?
Can you, by any possible wrench of imagina-
ton, conceive Of his passing peppermints to
her; of his taking that hand in his and bash
fully squeezing it? But it was so. Many a
"God bless YOU has been uttered above that
bare head, many a kiss pressed on that I'M
combed hair. The tightly compressed lips
have lovingly framed tender invitations to him
to take another bite of cake or pickle. The
hands that are now parboiled and blistered
and marked with scars from the bread knife
and scratches from the last setting hen, were
once twalned lovingly about his neck, and the
nose which is now peaked and red, and looks

with rage, once followed the figures of his new

STANTON, VIRGINIA, JANUARY s, 1881.


Sometime whom all life's lessons have been learn
And suns and stars forevermore have SET
Tho things which our weak judgment nero nave
sspurned,
The things DER which we fret with lashes wet,
Willdash before US out OF lffes dark nisnt'
As stars shine most IN deeper tents OF blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans were right,
And how what seemed reproof was love most true
And we shall see how, while we frown and sigh,
Gods plans 20 on as best for you and me;
How, when we called he needed not the cry,
Because His wisdom to the end could see,
And ever as prudent parents disallow
Too much of sweets to craving babyhood
30 God, perhaps, is keeping from us now
Lies sweetest thing, because 1t seemeth good.
And II sometimes commingled with LIES wine,
We md the WOODWORK and rebel and shrink,
Be sure wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out the portion for our lips TO drink.
And II some friend we love Is lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
Oil do not blame the loving Father so,
But wear your sorrow with obedient grace.
And you shall shortly know that heightened breath
Is not the dearest gift God sends His friend,
And that sometimes, the cable pail OF death
ConceaIs the fairest boon His love can send.
II we could push a1ar the gates Of life,
And stand within and all Gods workings see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find the key
But to-day. then be content, poor hearth
Gods plans, like lilies, pure and white, unfold;
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart;
Time Will reveal the calyxes Of gold,
And If, through patient toll, we reach the land
Where tired feet with sandals loose, may rest
When we can clearly know and understand,
think that we shall say, sNGod knows the best"

Victor Hugo.

To the werld at large, Victor
Hugo is better known for his
literary works than his political
opinions. He will never be for
gotten by those who have read
them. AS a litterateur, he stood
in the foremost rank. In the prime
of his authorship his name was a
household word. Few of his con-
temporaries had the ability to
divide with him the honors of poet,
dramatist and novelist. He was
an ardent lover of France, and an
implacable foe to every form of des-
potism. Such a man, it can well
be imagined, was no favorite with
Louis Napoleon. He was a deputy
when the coup detGt of December
2, 1851, took place, and was
among those who asserted the rights
of the assembly and endeavor-
ed to preserve the constitution.
For this he was prescribed and
fed an exile to the island of Jer-
sey, where, while continuing his
literary pursuits, he published
several satires against the en-
peror. Hugo returned 20 Paris
after the establishment of the re-
public, where he has since resided,
sharing the esteem and affection of
all classes Of people. This was
evinced on the 9th ult., the occa-
sion of his seventy-ninth birthday,
when it is stated that a multitude
of persons, moved as by a common
impulse, surrounded his dwelling
to pay him their respects, and
afterward paraded the streets,
shouting praises to his name. This
was such spontaneous outburst
of feeling as Napoleon never
enjoyed. ltsPrung from the heart,
and went to the heart of the
veteran patriot who had shown
himself willing to sacrifice every
thing for his country.

The Worlds Fair.

1t is known that there is a propo-
sition before the people Of New
York to hold worlds fair in that
CITY in 1888. For some reason,
the commercial, financial and social
metropolis does not respond to the
proposition with a degree OF cor
diality which gives assurance OF
success. New York does not sub
scribe to the stock, nor show any
disposition to make any other
sacrifices to carry out the project
A very serious difference of opin-
ion has arisen between General
Grant and other friends of the fair
as to the site of the fair building
The General wants 10 use por-
tion of Central park, but the press
and the public object. 4 leading
journal says, with some emphasis,
that the public viii never consent
20 have their beautiful and costly
park destroyed, even for so desir-
able consideration as monster
display of the arts and indus
tries Of all nations. Two objec-
tiOns are urged to the use Of the
park: first, that a magnificent
pleasure-ground would thereby be
converted into vast building lot,
and second, that the park roads
and walks would necessarily be
used as thoroughfares. The park
would thus be reduced to the rank
of a public square and its roads To
public streets. General Grant has
recently reiterated the opinion that
the fair would be a failure if held
at Inwood, or any other distant
place. The reply is, that the park
is worth more to New York than
the fair, as one is permanent and
the other temporary. The fair is
simply another form of business,
while the park comes within the
range of health-seeking and recre-
ating. 1t is probable that when
. the opinion is expressed that the
fair will be a failure if the site is
not at Central park, it means only
less brilliant success.

Danger of a Free Press.

\ little Oil city boy, whose
father gave him printing press
the other day, has already discover
ed the dangers and pitfalls which
surround the path of the printer.
He set up and printed little gilt
edged card with the warning
phrase, "Paint! look out" BY
some means this card became
fastened to his sisters hat, and
just above her left ear, where he
who ran could read, and when she
went down street there was a grin
extended clear from Pearl avenue
to the Exchange; and that night
the boy traded off his printing
press for a yellow dog and a pop.
gun.
