HERE AND THERE.

Last week an engine on the Toledo, Coll
umbus & Southern railroad drew pas
senger train from Toledo to Findlay, o.,
on fuel furnished by Ohio crude petro-
leum. The trial was such success that
President Brown announces that he will
have all his engines arranged for the use
of oil and do away with coal altogether.
The experiment will likely revolutionize
the fuel problem in railroading and fur
nish new use for Ohio petroleum. I Bliz-
zard.
An editor died and slowly wended his
way down to where he supposed warm
reception awaited him. The devil met
him and said: "For many years thou hast
borne the blame for the errors that the
printers made in the paper. The papers
have gone, alas for one dollar; alas the
other dollar has failed to come in. You
were bedeviled by the printers for wages,
when thou hadst not a cent to pay them.
Men have taken thy paper without paying
for it, and cursed thee for not getting up
better paper. Thou hast been called a
dead and fraud by men who were
both. All these things thou hast borne i'll
silence, and thou canst not come in here"
And satan murmured to himself: "Heaven
is his home, and besides, if we had let him
in here he would have been continually
dunning his delinquent subscribers and
thus creating discord in my kingdom
Exchange.
Parents in Oil City, as well as elsewhere,
can, if they will, derive lesson from the
fate of Franklin Asbury Hawkins who
was hanged at Riverhead, L. l., last Tues
day, says the Blizzard. When child he
was cold, sullen and vicious, and his pa
rents did little to correct him. He. rev.
elled in infiicting pain upon some harm
less animal. To choke kitten to death
or TO tear the leg from quivering frog
were delightful recreations to him. Ans
other of his pleasures was to catch all the
cats of the neighborhood he could lay his
hands on, tie them into a bunch, watch
them tear one another with claws and
teeth until weakened from loss of blood
aud then fling them into the furnace of his
fathers moulding mill. His mother,
whom he afterwards murdered, called
such exhibitions of devilishness "tricks"
and excused them on account of his "ten-
der age" When anybody else reprimand-
ed him she would be extremely incensed,
once sending him to another school be-
cause the teacher at the one he attended
whipped him for tearing Il living kitten
asunder before some of the other pupils.
His youth was filled with deeds of even
more cruelty, and he finally finished his
career by shooting his mother and hiding
her body in a swamp. Lack of proper
training is very likely responsible for the
development of his viciousness to such
colossal proportions. The rod was spared
and child bad by nature was permitted
TO grow into fiend.
