Mr. John O'Shea, rack foreman, spent a few days in Oil City since our last issue. J. B. Miller is thankful for the bran new halter that was left in his stable Tuesday night.

Ed. Crosson was getting about town on Monday with the assistance of a pair of crutches. Mr. Cook, of the firm of J. B.

Crouch Erie, was taking a look at Kane on Tuesday. Gen. Kane and family will occupy pleasant quarters at the Thomson House during the winter. Rev. Merritt preached at the school house in the Green settlement on Sun day afternoon last.

H. D. Bray has purchased a lot on the West Side, and will erect a house thereon in the spring. James M'Kean, of Marvin creek, has opened a meat market in the building in the rear of W. S.

Holman's, on Fraley street. O. D. Coleman, of the cheap cash store, left on Monday for the city, with the intention of putting in a full stock of goods. Mrs.

M. Burk and Miss M. Carrig have received a full line of fall and winter millinery goods, which they will sell cheap as the cheapest. Mr. H.

M'Cready has just finished his contract of cutting five hundred and forty five cords of four foot wood for the American Transfer Co. A pretty good summer's job, that. Thos. M'Clelland now occupies the position of clerk at the market of J. B.

Miller, where he can be found at all times, ready to wait upon the patrons of that establishment. That young man who goes out to see his girl of a Sunday night should make some arrangements to get into his "little bed" when he returns without awakening the whole household. Howard Fry, of Westport, sup erintendent of motive power of the Philadelphia and Erie railroad, accompanied by his family, are guests at the Wilcox House, Wilcox, this week. Mr. Ed.

B. Martin, long and favorably known as foreman of wells in the Kinzua region on the Hillings Guffey tract, has hied away to pastures new and fair, and is now located at Salina, Kansas. We wish him success in whatever enterprise he may engage. We notice it reported by some of the county papers that Robert Butler, the man who was shot by his brother in Bradford, a few weeks ago, an account of which was given in these columns, was from Kane. This is a mistake.

He did not belong in this section. A man named Chas. M'Quade, while out hunting in the woods near Johnson burg, on Sunday last, accidentally shot himself, from the effects of which he died. Another argument in favor of the strict observance of the fourth command ment. We did not learn the full particu lars of this sad affair.

Messrs. H. L. Taylor, John Pitcaim and John Satterfield, all of the firm of H. L.

Taylor of Petrolia, accompanied by J. M. Guffey, arrived in Kane on Tuesday evening, and were the guests of Gen. Kane at the Thomson House. They left town on Wednesday morning before daylight, for the purpose of taking a look at the Kinzua gushers.

Messrs. H. L. Taylor are the owners of an extensive tract on the Kinzua, purchased of Gen. Kane.

We are sorry to announce that the continued ill health of Dr. Griffith has rendered it necessary for him to relin guish the practice of his profession for a time, and by the advise of his physician, will take an extensive tour through the Western States, in the hope of regaining his lost health. The doctor has been but a short time in our midst, and during that time has gained quite a lucrative practice, and made many warm friends, who are sorry that circumstances render it necessary for him to leave, even for so short a period. His wife will accompany him in his travels. It is the wish of all that he will return much improved in health and spirits, and resume the prac tice of his profession in our midst.

THE CRADLE M'Carthy. In this place, on the 16th a son to Mr. and Mrs. Owen M'Carthy. Keep what yott have for what you have not, but desire and expect to have, you may never secure.

This applies to everybody and everything, except dilapidated houses, worn out garments, bank runt stock companies, and crazy people, In regard to the last mentioned, it is a debatable question whether they should be sent to an asylum. Others who take their place may become still more in sane, and thus the trouble would be increased. A good many persons who are called crazy by the inconsiderate, are only foolish. A young fellow a short time ago had a young sweetheart, i hey seemed to love each other; but by and by he saw a prettier face, grew cold, and gave her up. But, alas! he did not get the other, and so had none.

Fortunately, his first lady love did not die of grief, hut married a worthier mate. Here it would have been wise to have let well enough alone. An acquaintance of mine owned a small but comfortable home, and had succeeded, through years of hard toil and daily economy, in paying for it. His wife, in course of time, longed for a srander house. The old homestead was sold, and a new one built, mostly on bor rowed money.

In one year after, it was sold by the sheriff much below cost, and the family had no home at all. It would have been better if they had let well enough alone. A friend of mine had three thousand dollars. This sum was an inheritance, for which his parents had worked and saved for oyer twenty years. He invested the fortune in oil stock, and lost the whole of it in one short month.

His father and mother are dead, and do not grieve, but he does whenever of those twenty years. He rightly concludes that he might as well haveaw bled his inheritance away. Steele says "There is nothing that wears out a fine face like the vigils of the card table," and may I not add There is nothing that deprives men of their fine houses, and all their usefulness and comfort, like the morbid desire for speculating in oil and other stocks Is it not wise to let well enough alone? I knew a man whose business was the best in He was a prominent member of the church, and enjoyed the confidence of all who knew him. Public and private money was entrusted to him for no one thought that he could fail. He speculated, lost all, forged, became a bankrupt, made many persons miserable, and cut his throat.

This last act did not benefit his creditors. It would have been far better if he had let well enough alone. 1 often think of Horace Greeley. With his large brain, good will to all his fellow men, purity of motive, extensive knowl edge and experience, he governed half the western world. Clergymen and statesmen bowed before him, and he perhaps has proved more than any other writer that "the pen is mightier than the sword." Oh, had he left well enough alone, he might even now be what once he was one of the greatest among the great.

He has left the earth and earthly aspirations, but may the admirers of his many excellencies learn from his one grand mistake, to let well enough alone. Lawyers have, or ought to have, their daily bread. If they are able to apply their theoretical knowledge, they acquire greater wealth than they can use. But they, too, should observe the golden motto "Let well enough alone and the, other motto "The office should seek the man, and not the man the office." In our day, ninety nine out of a hundred spend their money, health and reputation by running for offices which they never secure. People of education and refinement despise office hunters, and the unintelligent masses must be bought, and are rarely reliable.

Let lawyers adhere to their noble profession. They will then be called without any effort on their part to rise higher and higher. They, above all others, proceed wisely by letting well enough alone. Marcus Brutus would have done better if, instead of stabbing Caesar he had let well enough alone. His patriotic act did not save Rome.

Yet what he did he was impelled to do for his country's good. He has few followers. Marcus Antonius has more. Selfishness reigned and reigns supreme, but eyen selfishness combined with common sense will al ways say, "Let well enough alone." Insulanus. SHEFFIELD DOTS.

Some rain last week. Cool Saturday evening. Pugilistic exercises last week. Geo. Adgate has the champion beets.

Old Jack Frost made things lively in this section last Sunday night. On Monday morning the ground looked as though covered with a mantle of snow. The Kane Dramatic Association has again revived its drooping energies, and promises the public a reproduction of the drama entitled "East Lynne," on Friday evening, the 31st inst. An apology is due our Highland for the non appearance of his communication last week. Circumstances over which we then had no control made it necessary to leave it out.

Owing to the strain upon our columns last week, quite an amount of important reading matter was unavoidably crowded out. We hope, however, to bridge the chasm and be able to give our patrons the usual amount of reading matter hereafter. Bradford is infested with tramps, and a wail goes up from that modern oildo rado for the prompt abatement of the nuisance. Fears are entertained that a plot is on foot which has for its prime object the destruction of the city by fire. Prompt measures should at once be taken, and summary justice be dealt out to these vagabonds wherever they may be found.

The Bradford Daily Era is one of the best newspaper that comes to this office. It is undisputed authority upon all matters of general interest, and more especially upon the oil development of this and other countries. Any who desire to keep fully posted as to the doings in oildom, should not fail to subscribe. Money cannot be invested to better advantage. Our Catholic friends held a series of religious meetings last week, which were well attended and will be productive of much good.

Rev. Father Klocker, the regular pastor, was assisted in his labors by two or three able divines from abroad, whose sermons were listened to nightly by large and appreciative congregations, composed of both the Catholic and Protestant elements. The meetings closed on Sunday night last. As announced in our last issue, the famous Tennessee Jubilee Singers gave one of their entertainments in the Temperance Hall on Saturday night last. They were greeted with a full house, and to say that all were pleased would be putting it in a very mild form.

They are a good troupe, and should they visit this place again, may be sure of a full house for as many nights as they choose to remain. Their rendition of "Sherman's March to the Sea" was grand, as was also several other of their productions, which time and space forbids us mentioning more particularly. feJ a CP CO CO THEM.J3 ap31 tf COPELAND, WARREN, PENNA, BUCKTAILS' HOUSE, R.

M. Tait well on the same lands. This well has been reported down and dry by outsiders, but the owners report that in consequence of several delays the drill will not reach the sand until the latter part of this present week. As usual, those who know the least have the most to say. The drill is still at work, and visitors are at liberty to watch the working of the well and examine the nature pf the rock as revealed by the sand pump.

There is a report that there are strong indications of salt water, and a long bailer is hanging in the derrick. There is no evidence, however, of it being utilized. The rock is found at a depth of 2,100 feet. Mr. Van Vleck is drilling at No.
