It Was a False Report.

Last Friday afternoon there was a
ripple of excitement in Reynoldsville
for few hours by the report that oil
had been struck on the Schugart's farm
near this place, where test we'll is be-
ing put down. Dame Rumor had made
it anywhere from fifteen barrel a day
to a fifteen barrel an hour well. II was
false report. A very small amount Of
gas was struck, and while our people
were talking about it and hoping the
report would prove true, the drill had
stopped and the drillers were in trouble,
as 1000 feet OF sand line and the bailer
were lost in the we'll, which is now down
1900 feet. The work was suspended
until fishing tools could be gotten here
from Bradford. The tools arrived
Monday evening and the drillers went
to work yesterday morning to get the
line and bailer out of the we'll.

Schiverea Meetings.

The Schiverea meetings opened on
Thursday night last. Mr.. Schiverea's
welcome was not very cordial one, as
he came In on an earlier train than had
been anticipated. He has been well
coined since, however, by large crowds.
Mr.. Schiverea gave four addresses on
Sunday: One TO the union meeting Of
Baptist and Presbyterian churches at
11.00 A. M, a sermon to men only at 900
p. M. and two talks in the evening. The
mass meeting was one Of remarkable
solemnity and earnestness. Mr.. Schi-
verea's address was tremendous In
power and strong in plain Anglo-Saxon.
At the close Of the meeting large
number stayed to the inquiry meeting
and many professed Christ. Sunday
evening another packed house, another
forcible address and another after
meeting in which many sought power
for better life. The day will be long
remembered in Reynoldsville.
In spite of the miserable weather the
hall was filed on Monday night and
several decided for the Savior in an
inquiry meeting OF power.
Mr.. Schiverea breaches twice each
day: at the Baptist church at 800 p. NJ.

Special announcements are as follows

any who are anxious for light in this
matter at the Baptist church at 100
o'clock this, Wednesday, evening. A
special meeting for workingmen and

Eli Perkins does not produce laugh
ter by telling anecdotes. He perpetrates
his jokes directly on the audience. The
audience do not go home and tell how
the speaker re-hashed Charles Lambs
and Sydney Smiths old jokes, nor how
he described Thackeray or Tom Hoods
humor, but they tell how the jokes Of
the speaker absolutely happened-they
and Eli both being parties to them
how he surprised them with antithesis,
paradox, anti-climax, and extravagant
statements, and kept them listening and
laughing from the beginning TO the end.
Now satire, with its hidden meaning,
which the listener must discover-then
the most absurd situations, strange
combinations Of words, and underneath
