Oil News.

The oil report for the month Of Sep
tember shows q great falling off in
production during the latter part Of
the month in fact it is estimated that
the production is now several thous-
and barrels less than the consumption,
which means that oil, which has been
booming of late will soon be selling at
bigger figure that it has reached for
many months.
The Developments in Forest county
have not been very active of late, but
promise to liven up before long. News
from the different wildcats are hard to
obtain, that is anything of a reliable
nature. Mr.. Cornwell at bis we'll at
Root & Watson's has got down some
where in the neighborhood of 1900
feet, and we presume expects to reach
the sand at about 1850 feet. With no
bad luck he will probably reach that
depth the first of next week.
Grove. Hart & Co, at their new
well on Beaver, will doubtless com.
mence drilling this week. AS will
also Hancock & Kennedy, on the
Watson farm, Whig Hill. We learn
also that Mr.. Eli Berlin and other:
are getting ready to sink a we'll on the
Widow Berlin farm on Whig Hill.
The Wolcott well, one mile from
Tionesta, is down about 1900 feet and
plugged, so it is said. They have
some gas, and very slight signs OF oil
but will give no information concern
imp the venture. The rig is moi
boarded up, and any one with sufi
cie1t smelling capacity might find ou
easily if they have oil. We hope they
have. P. S.-The well is dry, anC
there is movement on foot to have i
sunk few hundred feet deeper.
The Derrick of Monday contains tn,

ACCIDENT.

A woman by the name of Mrs. Peter
Anderson, residing in Moline, had very
narrow escape from most terrible death
last Saturday. She was on her way home,
and had occasion to cross the railroad
tracks in front of the Halfway house In
evading c., B. s. @. train, she got on a
track upon which c., r. l. & P. freight
was backing down. Before she was aware
of her danger, the rear car had thrown her
up the track, but her position was such
that she escaped the moving wheels The
brake rods-inficted some injuries as the
train slowly passed over her, but it re-
NAMED for the fire box of the locomotive
to complete the work. This receptacle
for Goals is but q short distance above the
track, and when this reached the prostrate
woman, It turned her over and rolled her
down the track until she fell into cattle
guard and thus allowed the engine to pass
over her without producing instant death.
The woman was picked up in an insensible
condition Immediately after the accident,
and an examination revealed the fact that
her injuries were not of fatal nor neces-
sarily dangerous character.

ADJUSTMENTS.

To morrow evening Felicia or wom-
ans love" will be interpreted at Harper's
theatre by the Rose Eytinge combination.
The play in New York received the follow
ing notice from the Metropolitan press:
Mr.. Cazuran has dramatized work of
NJ. Dehit's entitled lie de Fills Coralie, ="
and out of quantity of enticlng material
has constructed a drama in four acts,
which was produced last evening at the
Union Square theatre under the title of
Felicia; an excellent audience attended and
was received with marked and well de-
served approval.
The time of Felicia" is the present, its
place France. The drama is strong and
well-constructed, excellent in its motive,
and mastery in its treatment, and will
probably hold the stage of the Union
Square for long time. 1t ought by rea-
son of its substantial merits and the beauty
and effectiveness of its presentation. Miss
Eytinge gives wonderful personation of
Nine. Dumont, and produces profound
impression by her delineations of the sew
eral strong situations, especially the scene
where the unhappy mathematics her
final confession Of guilt and banishes her
self forever

last Night.
Criminal Cases Occurring

VARIOUS MENTION.
yALErTrNr,s DAY.

Tomorrow will be the 14th of February,
and as such viii be ST. Valentines day.
The amusing customs peculiar to this day
have about become obsolete, as the day ID
now generally celebrated by the exchange
Of few pictures, either comic or senti
mental In former years it was observed
by very peculiar and at the same time
amusing custom. On the eve of st. Val
entine, number of the young people
would assemble together and inscribe upon
their little billets the names Of an equal
number of maids and young men of their
acquaintance. The names were then
thrown into a receptacle of some sort and
drawn out lottery wise, care being taken
that each should draw one of the opposite
sex. The person thus drawn became ones
valentine. Besides having drawn val
entine the person became by the univer-
salty of the custom valentine for some
body else. When the choice became COM
plete, much happiness was anticipated in
case the marriage followed
1t soon came to be recognized that the
man was more true to the valentine which
he had drawn than to the lady whose val
entine he had become.
These imaginary engagements often led
to real ones, because necessary conse
auence was that for whole year the young
man remained bound to the service Of his
valentine, somewhat after the fashion of
a medieval knight of romance to his lady
love.
During the fifteenth century this prac-
tice was very popular at many European
courts.
For some time tina festival has ceased to
possess the graceful symbolic meaning
which was formerly attached to it 1t is
now observed solely by an exchange of
missives in which secrecy forms an impor-
tant part.
The connection OF this custom with St
Valentine is purely accidental. 1t has been
bought that the custom descended from
the Romans, who, during the month Of
February, were wont among other things,
to put the names Of young women into
box from which they We're drawn by the
men as chance directed. 1t is also stated
that the clergy of the early church, finding
it difficult to extirpate this pagan prac-
tice, gave it at least religious character,
by substituting the name of particular
saint for those of the women.
