Services next Sunday at all the
churches.
Read Z. T. Devore's local notice, to
those that are indebted to him.
All of our grocery stores are now
selling goods cheap for ca<h.
And cur friend Dye and his wife
have our congratulations. "It is a
girl."
Vv> give our readers in another col
umn. the wind-tip of the "Avon Mys
tery,** which we published last week.
Any of our friends can obtain the
latest authentic information in regard
to the quotations of oil, by calling at
our office.
Hon. Caleb Cushing has'been nom
inated for the office of Chief Justice by
the President. A good selection, and
we hope the Senate will confirm the
nomination.
Wc were a little amv.sed the other
d iv. to see a man going home with a
pound of beans and a rasher of side
meat, muttering to himself. '"God bless
the rich, the poor can bo^.''
The majority of the Congressional
Committee on election?, have reported
in favor of rending back the Congres
sional aspirants of West Va. to the
people to !><* reindorsed.
The Mite Society connected with
the Emmamtal Church, meets r.t the
residence of Mrs. G. P. Sa?r?r.t. on
Wednesday night next. All ar? in
\ ited to attend.
Don't chew tobacco in church. You
w ould hardly think of chewing tobacco
and spitting on tiie floor in a parlor,
why then go to the house of God and
profane it thus? No true gentleman
would do it.
Jas. F. Partridge, Esq., has been ap
pointed Post Master at Laurel Junc
tion. An excellent appointment, and
one that will suit the people who have
business with that office. Accept our
congratulations, friend Jame?.
"Bears, ?' how do you like the figures?
Amount of oi! demanded by the refi
ners per day, .;c,coo

Demand over production, 6,955
The oil market is improving. Now
look out for "bears." Our oil region
exchanges are all of the opinion that
oil will iK?w mike a steady advance.
All our oil men who c;::i hold their
oil had better do so; we believe it will
be for their advantage.
I\. L, Conger and Thomas IVg g.
have purchased of W. A. MeCosh,
Esq., all his right, title ai:d interest in
the Ritchie Coal Bank. The now linn
now consists of IJ. L. Conger, Thom
as Pegg and L. ?>. Delliker. T!:c fir:n
name will be E. I.. Congtv & Co.
Mav succcss attend them is our sin
cere wish.
A Mr, Robinscn of Sand J till, cut
his foot badly on Wednesday last, and
will be laid up lor live or six weeks.
We understand that he Is in destitute
ci? cumstances, and we hope that our
people will keep their eves open and
see that he or iiis f;iinilv do not suffer.
Our colored follow citizen, Mr. Jas.
Williams, Volcano's oni.v barber, li?s
'eft our Burg, and wc lia\e 110 011c to
take his place. A first class barber i>
our friend James, and we shall miss
him much. A good barber c.m now
tind a first rate opening here.
We congralnlate our voting friend
W. X. Chancellor. Esq., (>n It is elec
tion to the honorable position of May
or of Parkersburg. We know lie will
make a good Mayor; we know lie is
the very man for the position. I lis
j every interest i? identified with that
city, and as he has always been an ac
| tivc, wide-awake business man, he wil!
bring all these much needed qualifica
tion* to the position. The city of
Parkersburg may well be proud of her
choice.
The democrats made a clean sweep
in Parkersburg, on Saturday last, elect
ing their entire city ticket by large
j majorites. We hope that if the coun
cil just elected remove our old friend
ColTinan from his position (which they
should not do) as city Sergeant; that
they will confer that honor on Mr
Thomas Hughes, who, in our opinion
is the very man for the place.
One of the weakly papers published
in Parkersburg, stated that a demo
cratic office holder from Volcano,
went round with a large wad of mon
ey, offering to bet that the first Nation
al Bank could not run t he city elec
tion. As no democratic office holder
from Volcano was in Parkersburg on
Wednesday last, and if they had been
they had no wad of money, this must
j be another "anaconda story."
The 'Titusvillc Courier' has changed
hail (is. M. X. Allen is now editor,
publisher and proprietor. We consider
it tiie best oil paper published. Mr.
Allen publishes his paper to suit him
self, and that is the only way to make
any paper a success. Any one want
ing a Pennsylvania oil paper contain
ing all the news, should subscribe for
the Courier.
Now that the fourth sand shows ev
ery indication of becoming rapidly ex
hausted. it is generally conceeded that
no new development from the surface
of the ground will be risked until the
petroleum markets permanently react
to about $4.00 per barrel. Capitalists
prefer to put their money in oil above
ground and hold for a rise. ? Herald.
Millions of dollars were lost in the
great Butler county petroleum basin
of 1S7*. The larger the strikes and
the rncro proliiic the territory, the
more capital wa? hopelessly sunk.
?Herald.
1 i;rcc full editions of the Bun piled
up just as the papers leave the press
will make a monument as high as
Trinity Church steeple. It takes 125
! thicknesses of the Bun paper to make
' an inch. Taking the height of Trinity
1 Church <pire at 250 feet, or j.ocoinch
! l . and the average daily circulation
ol* the Sun at 125,000 copics, we find
that it will require just 375,000 thick
nesses of the paper, or three days' is
sue, to reach from the level of Broad -
i way to the highest point of the tallest
vpirc in New York. But if the paper
is folded for mailing, one days' issue
piled up as before, will make a monu
ment ten times as high as Trinity,
with paper enough left over to reach
forty feet above the top of the Little
Church around the corner.
The editor of the Hocking (Ohio)
%ntincl says he has been invited to
purchase a three dollar ticket for the
Inauguration Ball, and he says: "If
possums and hickory nuts come in
pretty lively on subscription, and we
can dispose of our traps for cash with
out too much sacrifice, we shall buy a
ticket, and go. In times past, even as
modern as since Jackson, we recollect
hoeing it down in our cow-hide shoes,
all night on the festive kitchen floors
! of the Rush Creek Valley, for the sum
: of ten ccnts, and if the Inauguration is
to be a revival of the good old times,
, the ancient guard, and all dancing is
1 furnished at the old rates, it strikes us
j that in getting three dollars' worth we
I can do a powerful sigl t of heavy work
j and so distinguish ourself among the
j chivalry as to add another of fame to
i the noted town we may represent."
Gone out Forever.
i
Luc dropping, ih ing stars, our
I dearly loved ones go away from our
I sight ? the stars of our hopes, our am
I bitions, our prayers, whose light ever

' empti , cold and dark. A mother's
i steady, so*i and earnest light that

; father's strong, quick, light that kept
our feet from stumbling in the dark and
i treacherous ways; a sister's light, so
! mild, so pure so constant and so firm,
| shining upon us, from gentle, loving
eyes, and persuading us to grace and
goodness; a brother's light, forever
sleeping in our souls, and illuminating

The Largest Gun Ever Made.
? The SulcIifT gun, cast recently at
the West Point foundry, weighed in
the rough stntc^ 72,000 pounds, and is
the largest gun ever made. The gun
is made of iron standing a pull of 30,
000 pounds, and is now nineteen feet
long, but when finished will be only
fifteen feet in length. It is to have a
steel barrel four inches thick at the
breech and three at the muzzle, with
rifle bore and weighing 44,000 pounds.
The shot will be nine inches in diame
ter and will weigh about 250 pounds.
It will require eight days to cool the
monster by the Rodman process ? wa
ter being run through the bore during
all that time. . The gun is being made J
for government experiments.
