Oil at Corsica.

Tuesday morning the Dubois Courier
contained the following special from
BroOkville
The "Rooter" we'll. at Corsica, Jefler-
son county, struck oil at II depth of
about nine hundred feet last Saturday
evening. At first it was thought II
would prove to be about ten barrell
we'll, but later development promise
much better than that. No drilling
was done on Sunday, and ON starting
the machinery Monday morning it had
only baon running Il few minutes whom
the oil spurted to the topof the derrick.
The staid old town Of Corsica is all ex-
citement. Early on Sunday morning
people from all parts Of the surrounding
country began to gather in, and by
evening the hotels and streets were
iammed with excited people and to-day
fabulous prices are being offered for an
interest in the Rooter we'll. w. b.
Glenn. the hotel man, refused $50 for Il
half interest in one hundred dollar
share Of stock. Others have already
disposed of their stock for many times
the par value. The excitement still
continues, and the people are still lock
ing into the town. A town lot in Cor
sica to-day could not be bought for five
times the amount that would have
bought it ten days ago. The company
have about seven Thousand acres of land
adjoining the well under lease. An
other well will be put down at once.

The editor of the American Culiirdtor
sensibly says: ''It is more than an open
question whether the rush and breath
less greed of requirement in modern life
is conducive to wisdom: whether those
who dwell little afar from the busy
centers of social activities, and have
the advantage of perspective, do not
gain more actual value from the pano-
rama. II is a question whether day
passed beginning with being present at
a public reading at eleven: ladies'
lunch at one: a half-dozen teas and re-
ceptions or club meetings before dinner:
dining out or entertaining guests at
home, and assisting in the evening at
play or party, concert or lecture-it is
question whether such round as this,
busy anG brilliant as it is, is altogether
conducive to the higher naturalization
of thought. For it is thinking that is
the real work of life. No study, no
reading, no conversation, no hearing Of
lecture or music, no attendance on a
drama, is of much use until the mind
has assimilated it and kindled is own
fire from the material. To cram in
data, however valuable in itself, and
make no use OF it, is as idle as to buy
rich and rare material for gowns and
never have it made up. Life is lived
truly only when it holds room for
thought. A little data to great deal
of thought and reflection, is far more
potent than the increase Of material
and the decrease of reflection. Wisdom
is the result of thought processes, and
it is wisdom, not knowledge, that is of
permanent value in shaping life.'

Invitations are out for grand sup

3i4, K. of =. This lodge, since its
institution, has had great deal of sick
benefits to pay, besides two funeral
benefits. They have never, as yet, fall
tered in meeting charitable call,
therefore, they deserve and respectfully
solicit the support of ALL and especially
members of the sister lodges through
out the county in this effort to replenish
their exchequer.
We hear any amount of talk about
the electric railway, but see mighty lit
tie of that genuine collateral that talks
in railway building. 1t has been sug-
gested that Rathmel people should buy
large amount of stock in the enter
prise, which is all very well, but when
it becomes understood that nearly all of
our people are miners and mine labor
ers and that their average earnings are,
and have been for quite n while, about
from $3.50 to $500 semi-monthly this
should be looked at and taken as a
reasonable excuse for so few shares
being sold in Rathmel.

Good roads is question of great i'm
portance to the people of Pennsylvania,
and more especially to the people of
Jefferson county. A road law has been
drafted by Arthur Kirk, of Pittsburg,
which is expected will be presented to
the Legislature for adoption the present
winter. Mr., Kinks position is as fol-
lows: That the roads are the property
of the State, and that the whole State
is alike interested in and under obliga-
tion for their construction and main
tenance. He also believes that If the
State enters on comprehensive scheme
of road construction the next genera
tion, or even the one after that, to
whom the benefits will be important,
should help to pay the cost. Finally he
believes that the entire road system
should be emancipated from local and
inexpert management OF township Off
GERS and placed under State control by
experts. These three principles form
the framework of Mr.. Kinks measure.
1t proposes that the State take charge
OF the location and construction OF roads
through State superintendent of roads
with county and district superintend-
ents under his direction. The funds for
general and comprehensive construc-
tion of now aud improved highways it
proposes to raise by the issue of twenty
year three per cent. bonds, at the rate
of S6,000,000 each year, for ten years,
the proceeds to be expended in all the
counties in proportion to their acreage.
The measure permits the Superintend-
ent of Roads to determine the material
to he used according to locality, but
prescribes standards of the width and
grade. The advantage OF the above
may be summed up thus: LIST, 1t will
make good roads within few years in
every township in the State. End, 1t
will make good roads without any ex-
pense to present farmers, as the money
to make roads will come from sale OF
bonds. Having twenty years to run and
long before that time agricultural land
will be worth three times its present
value.
