One of the pipes of the Standard
Oil Company, that takes oil from the
petroleum regions of Pennsylvania to
New York, distance of 400 miles,
recently burst in Vernon township,
Sussex County, N. j. Before the
mischief was discovered the soil in
the vicinity of tho broken pipe be-
came saturated and poisoned with
crude oil, and ruined for the present.
A large quantity of oil flowed into
the neighboring streams, and the
fishes died by thousands. 1t is said
the farmers will bring suits for dam
ages against the Standard Oil Com
pany, for Injuries sustained by this
oil flood:
1T is the intention, we under
stand, to have all the persons who
voted for William Henry Harrison in
1910, meet in Butler some time dur
ing the campaign, when it is propos-
ed to give the old fellows grand
blew out. We would be pleased to
have the names of all such, with
their postoffice address, sent to this
Office as soon as possible. We desire
to make a record OF all such for future
reference and will publish the names
of all received.

is apparent from an article in it's col

shadows before Who is the more
affected, you or the subject that vents
his spleen through your instrume n.

and Lutherans in general, and st.
Marks Church in particular, it would
puzzle to 8 Commission to tell.
However, Messrs. Editors, if you or

CHAPTER xv.-AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE.
Mona did not find life at Contrexeville
by any means exhilarating. Uncle Sandy
seemed to have taken complete possession
of his niece, and was indeed more amiable
and affechonate toward her than he had
ever been before to any creature.
At the first moment of recognition, Mona
was displeased to find that Everard and
Lord Fitzallan were to be their ''compan-
ions Of the Bath" But it was very anus
ing to her to see how profoundly gratified
that stern republican Uncle Sandy was by
being associated as family connection
with the great grdndees of the season.
