THE MAssAoHusErrs FUNERAL.

Among all the comments on the Massa-
chusetts election and its gratifying result we
have seen nothing sharper or more to the
point than the following contained in pri
vate letter from an old.time West Brattleboro
resident whose bright, original sayings are a
tradition with his friends:

OIL NOTES.

And still the gushsrs continue to
come in and gush with wonderful
regularity in the Forest county field.
On Monday evening Balltown No. 13,
which is located on the north line of
1921, was drilled two bits in the sand
and the first hour it made sixty.seven
barrels. 1t will make 1900 barrel
well good enough.
Yes erday morning Grandin No.
IA, on 5236, tapped the sand and be.
gan flowing strong, 1t is put down
by the scouts as a 600 barrel we'll, but
is more likely to be 1000 -barreler.
The next we'll Of importance is
Balltown No. II, on 1921. 1t is 1900
feet deep and will doubtless reach the
sand this week. It's location is forty
rods northwest of No. 10.
The Beaver Valley we'll was finish
ed lest week that is, it was below the
sand level, and the contractors, Messrs.
Grove s. Co., abandoned it and
pulled the casing. The owners how.
ever, concluded to put it down farther
and on Monday set the contractors to
work again. They will perhaps get
to drilling by to-day or tomorrow.
Work on the Hunter we'll across
the river has been somewhat retarded
on account of the hole being filed
with iron and other missiles. 1t is
now clear of all rubbish aud we may
expect to sea it finished in about two
weeks.
p. S.-Since the above was in type
they have experienced a break dawn
at the above we'll. The jars were
broken, and it may be several days be-
fore drilling commences again.
The report of oil operations for Au
gust shows that 80 wells were com
pleted during the month giving a dai
ly output Of 4,257 barrels, with rs
dry holes; being an increase Of As
wells and 440 barrels daily product
ion over the re cord of July with niu'
more dry holes. Warren ard Fores
show the greatest increase in product
ion.

BASE RALL.

Pleasanville came over on Saturday
last and got taken in considerably
worse than Tionesta did at the former
place three weeks ago. The game
took place on the island in the after
noon, and up to the fourth inning was
quite hotly contested, neither side
scoring a run. Here break was
made, and it seems the Tionesta boys
got the best end Of the string and ran
their score up to twenty before the
game closed, while their npporents

scored but four runs. When the game
closed Pleasantville gave three cheers
fer "Oil City" whereupon Tionesta
returned the compliment" by three
rouAing cheers for "Shamburg" Not
withstanding these little inaccuracies
in calling the names of the two clubs
there was no bad feeling on the part Of
either nine. and the whole affair pass.
ed off pleasantly enough. We ask
pardon for simply mentioning, how.
ever, that both. Oil City and Shamburg
have some good ball players. Below

Examine the Registry List.

Voters can save themselves trouble
in the future by looking to see now if
their names are upon the registry lists
and by taking care, if their names are
not upon the lists to have them placed
there. Prior to the first Monday of
August assessors are required to post
in each election district a list of the
voters Of the district. To this list the
assessor is required to add upon per.
sonal application the names ofpersOns
entitled to vote and make a seperate
list of the new assessments, which list
is also to be publicly posted. On Sep
tember A or the assessors will be at
the polling places for the purpose Of
correcting the lists.

Sporting Matters.
THE HUNT.

The event of the season in the shDft-
ing line took place last Saturday, the
occasion of the match hunt. That
was the opening day of the squirrel
season, and a lovely day it was, and
although the game was scarce the
hunters all seem to have enjoyed
themselves and were generally salts
fed with the bags they made. In the
evening all assembled at the Lawrence
House and handed in their counts. 1t
was generally conceded that Harvey
Foreman's side was ahead, but as two
men on our side and one on his had
not reported yet no decision could be
arrived at until all were in, there be-
ing at that time only 81 of differ.
ence. The absentees were Joe Clark
on Foreman's side, and Jake Siggins
and Mack Agnew on ours, and the
well.known qualities of Siggins as a
squirrel destroyer. and the firm belief
that he would come in with no less
than 100 of @ count made the situa.
tion very uncertain. But they all
came in about s o'clock, and, sure
enough, like the last precinct in a
closely contested election often turns
the scale, SO did Jake's string decide
the matter, and, together with Ag-
news, brought our side out SO ahead
not enough to brag about, however.
AS soon as this result was announced
the supper bell rang, and, all being
dangerously hungry, the victuals dis
appeared with ii rapidity that was awful
to contemplate. The supper was a spen-
did ono and did credit to the house.
As on all former occasions the boys
want to try it again, and it is likely
they will in a couple or three weeks,
when game will doubtless be plentier.

NEW YORK, June 10-Tho best judges in the
street declare it tapronouncod bull market and
the prepondcrance of sentiment continues
favorable for higher quotations in good
stocks. Mr.. Morgan's friends say he is more
bullish on good securities than in any previ-
Gus campaign. The Mills party say they are
assured on tho highest railway authority
that the trunk lines are in perfect harmony

Some of the leading room traders sold yostor-
day morning, expecting to buy back in the
afternoon, but a good many subsequently
took them back before closing at an advance.
Johnnes said he had sold his longs, but
would buy back on reactions. He would not
go short on this market. Some OF tho pro-
fessional bear traders predicted smart re-
action soon, saying there had been much in
side selling and the shorts had been all twisted
out except in Union Pacific, Reading, Erie,
Jersey, and New York Central.
A prominent bear offered to bet 81 900 last
night that Jersey Central would sell at 81 be-
fore 81,
The bulls in Reading say tho Vanderbilt
buying has been immense notwithstanding
bear rumors, and the stock is good for a smart
advance to-day, and for 2 to per cent ad-
vance next week.
The leading coal producing companies
agreed on an advance and combination to
maintain prices yesterday, and the coal stock
will show improvement to-day upon this
