A petition, to DC presented to the town
board ut their next meeting, asking for
the establishment of a grade, and the
construction of "a regulation sidewalk on
the south SIDE of Custer avenue, between
9TH street and the alley east oS the court
house, has been circulated during the
week. This Improvement, greatly
needed for a long time, has now become
a comparative necessity, and we trust it
may be SO regarded by tho property
owners directly concerned.

Oil continues to be a topic of interest,
which, at this writing, is being e~Xtensiv-
ely discussed in this place. No news OF
material interest has been obtained
from persons coming in from the oil
fields duSing the week, other than thai
n strong desire is manifested in that
locality to secure locations which art
daily being made. We do not hear o.
any important strikes as yet, but it i.
believed that IN the near future when
more extensive Developments have been
made, that the excitement viii be
greatly intensified by the disclosure O
flowing wells, which all present indica
tons would seem to fairly warrant.

The egg social given by the ladies OF
the M. f.. church of this city on Mon
day evening was literally %patronized
and highly enjoyed. The occasion was
marked 10y genuine sociabilIty, and
diversified amusement, which held the
patrons until a late hour. An attractive
feature. conceived in the interest of the
church exchequer, was an ornamental
table presided over by Mrs. III. t.. Bond,
upon which was spread sundry egg
curio's wrought in all conceivable forms,
and deity painted by hat lady. The
refreshments were Of the most inviting
character, and in every respect satisfac-
tory to participants, who wondered how
they could be furnished at the nominal
cost Of only a dime.

THE FOUNDRY FIRES.

See the foundry fires cleaning,
With a strange and lurid light,
Listen to tho anvils ringing
Measured music OH the night.
Clanking, clinking, never shrinking,
strike the iron, mould 1T well!
On the progress of tho nations
Each persistent stroke shall tell.
Showers of fiery sparks arc falling
Thick about the worknlen's feet.
Some are carried by the night wind
Far along the winding street.
Clanking, blinking, never shrinking,
Labor lifts her arm on high,
And the sparks fly from the anNils
Out upon the darkencd sky.
In the uuickencd glow Of feeling,
Meath the anvil strokes of thought,
Ancient errors disappearing,
Nobler creeds to birth are brought.
Clanking, clinking, never shrinking,
strike tho truth. yea mold it well;
On the progress of the nations
Each persistent strike shall tell.
Crude the mass, times fiery FORCES
At YOUR eager feet have hurled,
Centuries Of toll must follow
Ere is shaped a perfect world,
Yet with clanking, clanking, clinking'
Strike tho iron, shape tho truth,
Science is indeed beginning.
Thought is in its lusty youth.
Oye forgemen of the nations,
Keep tho worlds great fires alight,
Let the sparks fly from your anvlls
All along tho roads OF night.
Clanking, eli nking, never shrinking,
Work till stars fade, and tho morn
ora wider faith and knowledge
In the radiant east is born.
