ly estimated as flowing from 25 to 100
barrels per day, and has caused con.
siderable excitement in that section,
besides having the effect to check the
upward tendency of the oil market
for short time. 1t will likely open
up a new field. At any rate, it being
the property Of the State, we all feel
that we will have an interest and in.

The Meadville Gazette, Col. Rel.
singers paper, seems to be getting on
swimmingly. 1t is now issued twice
a week, and besides being brim full
and running over with crisp local
news, contains all the latest telegraph.
ic news of the country. The Gazette's
editorials are not excelled by any of
the city jouroals Of the State, for
sound ReDublicanism, and their effect
is always noticeable in the election
figures of Crawford county. 1t de.
serves the hearty support of every Re.
publican in that county, and we pre-.
dict for it that success which an honest,
fearless, and able journal is bound to
achieve.
The unusual sight of number Of
wild deer has lately been witnessed on
Slipperyrock creek, in the northeast.
ern portion of Beaver county, and are
supposed to have wandered there from
Forest or Elk county. A lad named
McMillen, IL years old, laid one low
with bis gun; and on Sunday about
the same time, another ran past a
church where the congregation had
just been dismissed, and one.half the
late worshipers joined in the chase
after it. The "oldest inhabitant"

As will be observed by reference
to the proper corner, Mr.. c. NJ. Shaw.
key is to day announced as a candi.
date for Representative Delegate to
the Republican State Convention,
which will meet in Harrisburg, April
25. Also, Mr.. A. B. Kelly, as a can.
didate for Delegate to the National
Republican Convention at Chicago,
subject to the decision of the confer.
ence of this Congressional district. 1t
might be stated in this connection that
the new rules adopted by the last
State Convention, changes the manner
in which delegates to the National
Convention are elected. These dele.
gates are now elected the same as can.
didstes ior Congress are now nominated
in the various districts of this State.
Each county elects a candidate who
chooses conferees to meet the confer
ees from other counties composing the
Congressional district, at some point
within said district agreed upon by
them. These conferees then proceed
to elect two delegates to the National
Convention. II will be seen that this
mode requires about the same atten.
ton as in the nomination of candi.
dates for Congress.
Next to Prof John L. Sullivan's
foreign visit the topic that has occu.
pied the most space in the papers of
the past week is the 100000 breach
of promise case of Miss Clara Camp
bell against Charles Arbuckle, of Ar.
buckle coffee fame, which has just
come to a close in the New York su.
preme court. Of all the soft, sicken.

public has been treated to, this case is
the worst yet opened up. For in-
stance, witness sample letter-one
among many that have been put iu
evidence:
oh, Bunnie, l am worried. If l
could rest my head on your lap aud
have a good cry imagine 1 would
feel better, but l know not. l do not
want you to want for any comfort.
Do you know that l have a heart I?
But your notes would indicate that
have not. ] must close. l am blue
and sick. With his and ks must
close, and remain your, K.M.Q.
In the above specimen, which is part
of letter from Mr.. Arbuckle to Miss
Campbell, "h's and ks" meant "hugs
and kisses" and the initials *. NJ.
O." meant "kiss me quick" The jury
returned a verdict in favor of "Bun.
Die" for $45,000 as damages for her
smashed heart. Coffee will likely take
another upward Jump now.
