Preshyterians of this city are on the war
path for ways and means, and as most of
the hustling seems to fall upon the sisters
and the young hand-maidens we COM
mend to the men of the congregation the
the example of their elect brethren of the
First Presb. church OF Oil City. The lat
ter have become fully persuaded that
In, Of s;,
lar rake-otIs should not all be borne by
the ladies. So next Friday evening the
men are to serve an oyster supper in
elaborate orthodox style. This example
is worthy of prayerful consideration. 1t
is morally certain that if tried here, as
to the good cause. 1t would be worth the
price of admission to see the deacons,
trustees and lighter infantry skirmishing
about in aprons rs walters, cooks, cater
ers and kitchen roustabouts. The older,
homelier and lazier brethren could be
dressed up and put on duty as a recep-

Christmas trees can do no better than
consult Amsler about candies, nuts, fruit
with view to please purchasers of large
quantities. Special inducements to all

early next season. 1t is believed the b

will make the p. & W. an important

the W. n. Y. IS p. at Smethport and il
of its lack of knowledge of this section o
country. Grading has already been com
menced at Smethport and rights of way
are being purchased and paid for in that
neighborhood. But none o! this work in
dicates a connection with the w. N. Y. &
p. II. r. Certain facts are gradually
coming to the surface which shows that
the Baltimore & Ohio is atleast interested
