ItMlf Tub Election. We give below tho : ult of Ibe olection In Petroleum Gentle drecinct. Less tbau one-half the usual vote was ost, and but very little Interest was ntnileited by either party. Mr. Soweis, the Deuiocratio eandldale lor County Tteas urer, bus a majority of three. Tbe balance of tbe R. publican ticket ban a majority. Hera la lbs vole: State Treasurer, Mackey, co Uuicbinson, go Supreme Judge, Gordon, Cj Ludlow, 63 Assembly, MoCreary, Keeoan, Troasurer, Sowers, gl Mackey, c8 County Commissioners, Lylle, C8 Cowao, fi2 Coroner, Snowdeo, 73 Hughes, 43 Auditor, Myers, . C4 DuOloid, 65 Jury Commissioner Bndon, 3 Muse, 0(; We should have mentioned at tbo bend that Dr. Snowden, of Franklin, Democratic Candidate lor Coroner, ran lar ahead of the balance of. the ticket. The indications are that Sowers is elected County Treasurer by at least 200 to 300 ma jority. The Republican State ticket is probably elooted. Tho egotism and self esteem of the editor of the Titusville Herald bas made that pa per a laughing stock throughout the oil rf gion. In a short paragraph this morning be states "the Herald bas met iiH proper reward, aud (bat it now stands Ibe only re liable and respectable dally ol tho Oil ll gion." That is decidedly the best joke of tbe season. Our readers should bear in mind tut above fact as asserted by that pa per.

He thinks tbe election of Sowers to tbe of fice of County Treasurer, Is a big point gained against the Franklin ring politicians It is to be boped such is tbe case. We care but little about politics, but are decidedly of the opinion Ibat "the nursery ol great men" has run tbe balance of the county about long enough, and tbe small fry poll Mclaoi of tbe ring have bandied the peo ple's money about long enough, aud divided about '-swag" enough to live on the bat once of tbeir existence.

Weep Dl'illiuc. Last week wo mind a few Biit'posllons upon the subject of drilling wells deeper in order to test the territory lound bore, and find out ail it Is worth. The Ideas ndvtnc ed met with encouragement from many ol our most experienced producers and would undoubtedly be ac'ed upon but for the scarcity ol tiiPda. The question appears to be soltied that the lib' of I'elrolla is lis oil. and when a remunerative figure is not paid tbe consequence always is a very depressed state of business generally, whlcb la chiefly owing to the small quantity produced. The market la on the rise nuv, and when it reicbee a (rood fjguro will bo the best time to sell off what oil is in stock. The quanti ty sold here would (Hid a market at all times I and even when a low llgiirn H paid the larger tho production of a well the larger its pre 11 tH are, so that if biguer wells could be struck even with oil much lower th in at preseut. producers would get rich a great deal faster than they do. On the whole if tbo thenty is good, no substantial reason can be advanced against its bp in I? put in practice. Who will he tbo dial to agitate tbe matter? Petrnlis Advertiser.

The expense of former yeais has had tho ef feet to stop wild catting and reckless ven tures. It Is now well understood that it takes moo.y to speculate in oil, lone credits having ceased to be tbe tine. Even our big English ompanles, and other tUI'd or BHiilzitionF, may undertake. 10 do ton much and omo to gnel or chancery. The lesson is not to attempt to mnnopul Z' a liusince that is belter Conducted with a healthy com petition. However wo are p:es"d to be able to record that we have many substan tial business mm among us that unke steady progress and rell ct honor utieii our oil district. A tavorable change in the for' eign oil tnaike'. will soon revive business aud once more give employment to many persons now, working upon short time.

Lite in a village la In many respects very pleasant. It seems 10 be a medium between city and country, combining many advanta ges common to botb, without necessitating .lie citiz-0 to live 111 tbe heart of tbe busy world or to be isolated (turn civilization. Yet, like all other things in tbe world, village life bas its disadvantages; and not Ibe least of ttiese is tbe facility with which every one cau mind ol tbe affiirs ot bis' neighbors. One of Ihe t roatest sources of' discomfort to ui self and my friends is tbe village post of.ice. I would have all post oflice employes ti;br dumb or sworn to secrecy as certain 'y as telegraph operators; indeed they might beii. r bo dumb for all the civility one re ceives from Inero. Even if tbe postmaster hinn.-elf Is a gentleman be generally em ploys some talking cleik, or some male go-sip volunteers bis services just for Ibe sake of satisfying curiosity. These soon team tbe bnod-writing of all tbe letter writing people of tbe place, and have no scruple against peddling their information ahout the streets. Said a volunteer clerk t;.e other day lo a genieman, as a lady p.isstd tbem, "I tbiok that lady and btr lover n.ust have some trouble, as bo bas not written her in nearly two months " I 'unshed when I beard this, as the lady bad told mo the gentleman had written to her (r.-'i'aily, but bad disguised bis band writ ins. f ir the. express purpose of deceiving ibis meddlesome clerk. I myself have en C'Mi'iterrd ibis volunteer clerk on my way t the post office, and be invariably says, You ha-.o a leiter" cr ''You bave not a letter,'' as tbe case may be. I fear I have 'ien it cited enough to wish that the won d"i :ul iiiem.'ry ol this man might in some way he impaired. X am also wicked non r'l in envy soma of ray oity friends, w luwe p Sim m apparently takes no person il interest in ibe mail-matter which he der nit.iins; if he does luteiest himself and mentions iiia ideas, bis remarks will not be listeued to l,y those sufficiently Interested to repeat them. Cannot something be done to stop tiiis annoying gossip concerning mail nmltur? Slum Id not post raaslms and all In tbuir oinploy be sworn to secrecy? Country Gentleman.
