Early Monday morning last, young
man of Harmony, while returning from a
protracted sitting with his best girl in Ze
lienople, was hailed by the Constable Of
that town. The young man mistook the
Constable for a highwayman and fled, and

powerful explosive that will not Ego or
until such action is desired. Many persons
life has been placed in danger from this
stuff without their knowing it. Some
years ago two shooters from up about
Emlenton got the job Of shooting a well in
territory south Of Pitisburg, and they car
ried the stuff in cans placed in their satch-
els, on the train to Pittsburg, slept at the
Robinson House that night with the satch
els under their beds, and resumed their
journey next day.

Some Of our oil producers make money
buying up old wells when they can get
them for what they think the production
is worth In this county the price ranges
from 300 to 5000 per barrel though up in
the Clarendon field we have heard Of it he
ing as high as II, 200 a barrel. So many
things are now made from crude oil that
the percentage Of refined oil distilled from

Wax and parafline and other substances,
one Of which is now used extensively in
the manufacture of candy, are now made
from what at first was considered worth
lcss-thc i. 5. or refuse The up country |
oil is richer in this refuse than that of the
