Another Well Brought In.
lBrookville Republican,

The Oil City Fuel Supply company
very recently completed gas we'll near
the old Spring Creek road, in Heath
township, that has proven heavy pro-
ducer Of the peculiar fuel. The we'll is
located five miles south Of Raughts, and
as 1t is of the gas belt as heretofore de-
fined many think new gas territory
has been discovered. At any rate the
patrons of this company need not lay
awake of nights for fear of having to
return TO coal for fuel.

Church Burned.

The Presbyterian church at Falls
Creek, with organ and furniture, was
destroyed by fire early last Sunday
morning. The origin of the fire is un-
known, but the general presumption is
that 1t savors of incendiarism. The
church property was valued at about
$1,000. The building was insured for
$1,000. Falls Creek has had several
mysterious fires lately.

AS mans ingratitude;
Thy tooth Is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude"
A gentleman came into town Monday
afternoon with table oil cloth thrown
over his shoulders to turn off the rain.
OF course 1t was an uncommon sight
and attracted the attention OF number
of boys and girls on their way home
from school, and their sport about it
was embarrassing to the old gentleman
and exceedingly unbecoming to boys
and girls who have had better training
No doubt it was all the old man had to
wear.
A few of the citizens of West Reyn-

a name for new postoffice in that bor-

postoffice, in fact a petition has been
circulated to get signers to sanction the
name of Vaughan. What's the matter
in calling it West Reynoldsville post
office? II it must have another name,
why not find name in the new borough
and not go to New York after it? We
believe in patronizing home.

At the four corners the wagon upset, throwing the little girl out against a stone wall. The frightened animal then went toward Westport. Rufus K. Fitch of Weston ames by and offered his team to MT Shellhous and they drove to Westport and found the horse. The wagon was damaged but not so badly but what it could be used to drive home in.

LET'S HAVE THAT RAILROAD.

The topic of interest in the minds of all at the present time is the electric railroad. To be, or not to be, that's the question. Whether it is better to send money West to improve and advance the interest of the people there or to use it at home to encourage and promote home industries and enterprise. If men of in- fluence and means are ready to risk their money in the hands of Western people, why not have the same confidence in placing money in some enterprise that will tend to build up our town. Al electric railroad from here to Southbury is greatly to be desired by everyone who has any enterprise in them, and if the men who have influence and plenty of money will interest themselves it may prove a success. It is a discouraging fact that almost every undertaking tow ards the advancement of prosperity has proved failure. Oil wells, silver mines, and railroads have been started only to be abandoned, while all about us have sprung up many successful and flourish ing adventures.

A LARGE SIZED FISH STORY.

As the boys are now catching bull heads it may be in order to say, during this month, upon dark and rainy day, the angler is likely to find a deep hole in stream or pond where bull-heads have congregated to hold some kind of con- vention before proceeding with the busi- ness of the year. At such time the size of his catch is limited only by the number of catfish attending the caucus, or his supply of bait. It is no trick in Bethlehem pond to catch from 50 to 100 fish under such circumstances and they will be all one size or nearly so. One angler struck a catfish hole one day, last week and caught 200 fish. The natives expect the pickerel to bite in few days and are watching for the first quince blossoms to indicate when it is time to fish for perch.
