' Celebratioa According to the publisbrd programme, the glorious Fourth was ushered In by tbe firing or cannon, resulting In the breaking of a number or window llgbis, and Jtbe im bibing ol large quantities of lager and lent' onade. But the old cannon did roar never theless, and did cause those who felt Incline ed to sleep to use "cuss words" in profusion. Tbey could not sleep, however, as patriot- Ism was boiliog over and bad to bave vent through tbe cannon's mouth. Ambrose Weaver aud Von. Johnson did full justice to the torpedo question. Muslo by a solitary born ou McCray Hill, was rapturously divine. Owing to slight indisposition on the part of the performers, "Sleeping for tbe flag" was not executed.

On accouo, of tbe greatly Increased production and a won,t of tankage, the lubricating oil produo. ed in the Franklin district is actually soiling below tbe price of light oil. If this loci wore known outside tbe usual market we think the demand would be stimulated and the price would consequently iucrease. This heavy oil, In its natural state, is equal to tbe best lubricator In tbe world, and at present priees is selling nearly two hundred peroent below any manufactured lubricating oil. If tbe producers of this oil would corns bloe to find a wider field of sale, I u Mead o allowing their great staple to be controlled by about half a dozen men, tbey could In a few months get remunerative prices for their oil. We write these few lines merely ss a suggestion. We may again refer to tbe matter at soma length, and in tbe meantime we Invite tbe opinions of some 0 the leading heavy oil inen.-Venango Spectator.

Elcb, a carpenter employed en tbe Poor House, was drowned on last Tuesday evening, while bathing in French Creek, opposite where he was working. Mr. Elch bad got beyond bis depth, and belog unable to swim was drowned. The body was found about midnight' tTbe deceased was an un married man. On Wednesday of last week a new well, was struck on tbe Academy Reserve tract of the Geo. P. Smith farm, Sugarcreek town ship, just outside tbe city limits. The will started tip at over 100 barrels daily but Is now doiog 75 barrels fully. Tbe land and working interest are owned by Mr. Smith. Messrs. Paul Neely and Bourehlen struck new well on tbe Isaao Neely farm, Peters burg, a few days ago. It is doing 75 bar rels daily and likely to increase. Tbe same firm is preparing to put down three other wells. There is a serious cane of father in-law In tbe New York Courts. It is an exceptional case, it being tbe interference or tbe father after tbe marriage or his daughter. Usually such is a case or mother-in-law, Inasmuch as tbe father-tn-law- Interferes before tuai riage and tbe mother alter marriage. But tbe present case is a sod one, and occurs smong the fashionable class. A Mr-and Mrs. Patttsoo have been married since Oct. 21st, 18C9 she was aMissMaDgam, ber lather, Darius R. Mangam, being President of tbe National Trust Company. All tbe parties move In first class society, social Qnanc!ai;and religious. Mr. Putllsonisa welf known pianist and organist. He was asked to meet Mr. Mangam some weeks since at tbe office or the latter. He did so, but on going borne found bis borne deserted by his wife and children aod tracing them to ber fathers's demanded his wife and "bildren. Tbe wife wasdisposedtoyielil and tbe children cried for their rather, but Mr. Mangam sa'd neither money nor muscle could get the wlfci and children from bis bouse. Tbe consequence is a writ ol habeas corpus to recover tbe wife and remaining child one or tbe children having died since it was taken from the father's bouse. Tho case Is now before a judge, and it' Is said tbo husband and wile were happy in each oth er's society until the fnniily interfered and aliei tied ber, or compelled bor to desert ber husband. People would natually suppose that tbe heathens bad nearly all died out of this en lightened country. But it would seem oth wise. From Cleveland cornea the hoi rid story of two fiends in human form pouring ing can of kerosene oil over the person of a little girl eight years old and setting fire to II, literally roasting tbe poor innoceut alive. Inoredible ss the elory may seem it Is given on undoubted authority. Death is too good for such demons. Tbe presure ol trade oa tbe regular pas senger trains ol tbe Lake Shore & Michigan Southern It.. 11. has been so reat that, to accommodate those living on tbe line of way stations, tbe company bave jiut on an acooramodatioa train between Cleveland and Erie, wblcb makes the round trip daily, stopping at all way stations, both ways.

Just as the lilacs are now in such abund ance they recall a touching story we beard some little while ago. A poor working girl was looking in at tbe window ol one or those lovely ijower-sbops or Paris (it snowing bard at tbe time) at a branch of while lilac He facer was beautiful, pale, aodv wet with tears. She hesitatingly opened tbe door and asked the prioe. "Ten francs," was the reply. "Ten francs!" aud she reluc tantly laid it back, but two drops glistened on the flowers that were not there belorp. 'My darling baby," she sobed. "He came when tbe lilacs were io bloom, and be must leave forever without one poor little branch in bis band." ' You bave lust your little one?" asked the flower-woman. A heart sob and beet replied. Tbe flower-woman then took not a branch, but an armful, and filled the poor Kill's apron, putting back the piece of proffered money. "No I not it shall not be said in heaven that I made you pay tor tbe last little bed of your pocr babe." We pity the eye that can peruse this without feeling moist. Paris cor. N. . Dispatch. There is a daring individual of tbe male spcles in Philadelphia who writes lo one of the newspupers of that quiet villase" declar ing boldly that women can stand. Now, according to all proper tradition, women have not a le to stand an; but bear what the.fellow soys: "They can stand lor hours looking In at a shop windon-, gazing at J Borne lay-figure, robrd in tbe latest Pails fashion; tbey can stand, without apparent fatigue, spending an hour or two in arrang ing a pound or two more or less, of artificial braida, curls, topsies, etc., tbey can go into crowded assemblies, and stand for hours at bridal rrceptiooa and dance till midnight. 1 say that women can do all tbis and more; aod it is odd that she cannot stand in a car or ferrjf boat fur five minutes. Let ber lake off ber bigb heeled boots; let her go out iii to tbe Iresb air and walk three or four miles a day, or go about ber household du ties in real sober earnest, making the in mates of ber borne comfortable and happy; let ber dress in short, as a decent woman ought to do, not seeking to make a drome dary or camel of herself, then she may pos aibly be able to stand up without being sub ject to all the physical disabilities unfelt by masculine humanity." Great heavens! where did this man gel his impudence! A German poet has lately puollsbod a touching poem, in which, however, some trifling inaccuracies in geography .appear. Tbe hero Is represented as being devoured by an alligator under a palmtree on tbe shore of Lake Erie in America.
