backward, breaking its neck. in this cTFy, forty cents a gallon, when
it is a fh'ug on the mat kct at any pi ice
in the east. It is singular that some
of our groeeryvnlii do not try the ex
penment ol handling oil themselves
direct from the north and give the
Tank Line Company a little lively
competition, just to show their pat-
rons what cm be done when one sets
abbiit it in earnest. A paper 'now
before us says, at a modeiate esti-
mate there are 150,000 gallons of
petroleum running lo waste in the
McKean county ojl regions. The
tanks.with a capacity lor several mil-
lion bart'eh, are filled to overflowing.
The market is overstocked, and stdl
pioduction goes on at a rapid rate of
at least 25,000 barrels a clay, 5,000
more than the pipe line can handle.
New wells are going now in all parts
of the region. The streams are lit-
erally rivers of oil. In some parts
of the region the streams are
dammed and the oil collected in
lcrge ponds, at pl«ces as far distant
as possible from derricks and build-
ings. These ponds are set on fire
daily.H

Mrs. Bullock, the female evan-

in the M. E. clniicn. The fact that
a woman would occupv the pulpit
was sullicient to fill every .seat in the
edifice. The lady selected for her
text a passage in Isaiah. The ser-
mon was more of an exoitation than
anything else—the old pica, come to
Jesus an I be saved, ere it is too late.
Mrs. Bullock is rather a pleasant;
speaker, and her remarks were lis-^
tened to with consideiable attention.
At the conclusion of the sermon the
lady asked those in the audience who
were Christians to hol.l up the right
hand. About twenty hands were
raised ; then those who wanted to
be Christians to raise their hands.
Only a few'responded. Several per
sons came forward to the "anxious
seat," in front of the altar, and
prayers were offered up in their be-
half by the sisters and brethren.

Rev. Mr. Little preached at the
Presbyteiian church Sunday morn-
ing and evening. His sermon in the
morning was upon the parental and
filial relations. He brought Out and
illustrated at length, a new and for-
cible thought, that permitting chil-
dren lo feel that the) are to be only
the recipients of favors and kind-
nesses, to be looking forward contin-
ually for gifts and presents, without
being trained to labor or exert them-
selvs for their parents and for each
other, is the way to render them hol-
low-hearted, and shiftless, sponging
and insatiable. Said he. explain it
as we may, it is a truth that we
bear sacrifice for others in order to
cherish a lively interest in them or
love them. This has its application
to parents as well as children.

The battle of Wateiloo was fought
in 1815. Five years later another
important event occurred. On the
20th of October 1820, Fredeiick T.
Tobin, proprietor of the Alamo
restauiaut, was ushered into this
vale oi tears, and one thing and an-
other. At an early age he displayed
a strong passion for eatirg, but not
finding the soup compounded to
suit his fastidious and etheriel taste,
he invented a new method of culi-
nary science and went into business
011 his own hook. Mr. Tobin's
good genius led him to Denison, and
to-day you will find him running fhe
best place for a hungry man in the
Lone Star State. He is hale, hearty
and vigorous, and his appetite was
even better yesterday—the anniver-
sary of his birth—than It was fifty-
nine long years ago.

Three months ago it was serene

new bucks replacing them, in every
direction new houses, new roofs,
fresh paint, skeleton frames and
fenced lots. The sound of the ham-
mer and the cry for mor'ar are cease-
less from "eaily morn : till dewy
eve." It seems so alive with excite-
ment it never sleeps. Hacks and
stages from all points of the co.mpass
fly by umil midnight, then the heav-
ily loaded ice wagons (this being
that ammonia smelling protoxjd of

whips, and cm sing or singing driv-

Culture and inteili-ence here is
quite above the usual society, sub-
