Bill Fye on the Elections.

We have met the enemy and we are
his'n. We have made our remarks
and we are ready to listen to the gen
tleman from New York. We could
have dug out, perhaps, and explained
about New York; but when almost
every State in the Union rose ND and
made certain statements yesterday, we
found that the job OF explaining this
matter thoroughly would be weari-
some, and require great deal of time.
We do not blame the Democracy for
this. We are little surprised, how
ever, and grieved. It will interfere
with our wardrobe this winter. With
an overcoat on Wyoming, plug hat on
Iowa, pair of pantaloons on Pennsyl-
vania, and boots on the general result,
1T looks now as though we would 90
through the winter wrapped in bed
quilt and profound meditation. We
intended to publish an extra this morn
ing, but the news was of such a charac-
ter that we thought we would get along
without it. the cause of this great
Democratic freshet in New York yes
terday-but why go into dctailsl-we
have all an idea why it was SO. The
number of votes wonld seem to indi-
cate that there was tendency towards
Democracy throughout the country.
Now, IN Pennsylvania, if you will look
over the returns carefully-but why
should we take up your valuable time
offering an explanation of political
matter of the pastl Under the circum-
stances some would go end yield to the
soothing influence of the maddening
bowl, but we do not advise that. 1t
would only furnish temporary relief,
and the recoil would be ennui. and
With that sense of surprise and aston
lshmsnt that man does who has had
large brick block tall on him when he
was not expecting it. Although we
feel little lonely to-day-haying met
but few Republicans on the streets,
who were obliged to come out and do
their marketing-we still hope for tue
future. The grand old Republican
party. But that's what we said
last week. It sounds now hollow and
meaningless, somehow, because our
voice is little hoarse, and We are
showed under SO deep that it is difficult
for us to enunciate. Now, about those
bets. II the parties to whom we owe
bets-and We owe most verybody-
will just agree to take the stakes. and
not go into details-not stop to ask us
the state of our mind, and talk about
how it was done-we don't care. We
don't wish to have this thing explained
at all. We are not of an inquiring
turn of mind. Just plain facts are
good enough for US, without any har.
rowing details. In the meantime we
are doing to work to earn some more
money, to bet on the next election.
Judge Folger and others, come over and
see us when you have time, and we will
talk this matter over. Mr.. B. Butler
we wish we had your longevity. With
a robust constitution, we find that
| most any man can wear out cruel fate
and get there atlast. We do not fee
SO angry as we do grieved and sur

OBITUARY.

Our loved one is gone. His sainted spirit
fed to the sinless land on the morning of the
llth of November, 1882. Long and weary
days and nights of suffering are over forever
with little Oscar Thompson, he was held in
the prison of clay only waiting for the door
to be opened and voice bidding come.
Death came and set his angel spirit free
The fAal chill that freezes the blood, plucks
the rose from the cheek and sends a mys-
terious shudder through the heart, came and
a loving child, the affectionate and beautiful
little Oscar is now waiting in the blissful
abode of Heaven where sickness and pain
this world. May his bereaved parents be
csmforted in the knowledge that his sririt IS
forever at rest.
As bowed by sudden storm the rose
Little Oscar breathed his last,
Down to the grave our jewel goes
In SILENCE there to rest.
No more with us his pleasant voice
The shouts of joyful play shall swell,
No more his cheerful heart rejoice
No pleasing story tell.
Now in yonder cloudless sphere
Amid sinless throng.
He utters IN a Saviour's ear
The everlasting Song.
No more wei mourn the absent child
But lift our earnest prayer
And daily every effort try
To rise and join him there.

United Pipe Lines have large number of

to three iron tanks containing in all 105, 900
barrels of oil which are now in flames. The
pipe line men, from all sections of the oil
regions, we're summoned by wire to the scene.
Superintendent Snow and Smealy, with a
large force Of men, left Bradford by special fast
train. They took picks, shovels cannon, and
a chemical fire extinguisher. Trenches and
embankments will be formed to prevent the
spread of the burning oil when the overflow
occurs, which will be at two or three o'clock,
A. NJ. Olean creek runs near the scene of
the fire and great fears are entertained that
the oil will strike the surface of the stream
and destroy number of railroad bridges and
houses near the banks of the creek. The oil
will be drawn of as rapidly as possible by
pertorating tanks with the cannon balls. The
night is bright as day for several miles about
tanks. What the result will be cannot now
be conjectured.

action was taken, one might as well have tried
