The Auditor of Fayette county has sent notice to all owners of bank stock within the county to appear and show cause why they should not be assessed taxes lor the years 1881, 1382. 1883 1884 and 1885, on their bank stock, which assessors, naa erroneously omitted to . make at the propBr time. The amount due the county on this account is said to fifteen per cent, of the value of the stock. Of course a big legal contest will result. It is a noticeable fact that many deaths by fire have lately ocsurred in various parts of the country. In mo3t instances the victims have belonged to the gentler sexj and the accidents have happened through their dresses catching fire. In such an emergency it is aUo noticable that all presence of mind is lost and the ready wit of woman seems to forsake her. She forgets the teachings and warnings which direct her to roll herself in some heavy woolen fabric, such as a rug, and wildly rushes into the open air, where tne names Durn hercer than before. The only preventative which appears practi- cable is to wear woolen dresses, as wool barns slowly. This, however, would be decidedly unsomfortable in some cases. t I j I of to of is It lars J. few for in hay Z and of ui the and sell the at ?i m. one sell Some people think a Coroner's inquest must be heid in every case of sudden death, but, as -a matter of fact, the only cases in which it is proper to summons the Coroner are tho;e in which there are reasons for suspecting that a crime has been committed. -The object, and the only objct. f an inquest, is to determine tnai cieat n resulted trom n crime, ana to aid? in discovering the criminal.

Parties representing themselves as agents of the horse insurance company of Cleveland have been insuring the farmers of vari ous counties. A payment of five dollars down would secure to the insured party in case the animal died during the year, a payment from the company of $500. There is no such insurance company in existence, and again the principle of do ing business with men of your own town holds good.

An ef fort is to be made to ameliorate the con dition of these unfortunates who are no longer physically able to win a livelihood for themselves and families. Blanks are being sent to the clerks of county infirm ary boards requesting all the information hat can be had on this subject.

State Geologist Edward Orton, of Columbus recently delivered a lecture in Cincinnati on the subject of the "Geology of Natural Gas Tb.cre is probably no subject discussed at th present moment of so deep, anxious and ab sorbing interest to the people of North West ern Ohio as that of natural gas, and the prob ability of this source of light, power and wealth underlying us. Wherever natural gas has been found, it has revolutionized the exist ing order of things. Business has received an impetus unexampled in the history "of the times. Manufactures have been quick to re alize the availability and cheapuess of this new fuel, ?nd are hastening to tear down and set up anew their factories in natural gas centers of production. There U no one else in Ohio, or, in fact, in the whole country, who could speak on this supremely interesting subject with the scientific intelligence and anthoritv of Prof. Orton. He is a "crowned king" in geological science, and his words will be read with eager and profitable interest by all who are so fortunate as to possess a report of his lecture. The Prof, premises his lecture with tbe following series of questions which com prehend the whole subject: What is the source of petroleum and eas? v ncre are tney lormed and How? Are they in the'proccas of constant production in the rocks. or are tdcy stored in permanent reservoirs uo tney oeiong in particular strata, and are they confined to particular regions, or can they be reasonably be expected anywhere,' if the drill goes deep enough? Will the gas supply permanent? Can we find a supply here? x ucac uucstiuua aru uearu oil every siue, anu the geologist is bound to at least attempt an answer. 1 will endeavor to answer them. For mv answers I will hold no one responsible, Some of them will admit of discussion, to sav tne tease. The two questions relative to petroleum and natural gas which are more earnestly dis cussed and speculated upon than any other of the numerous questions which perplex the mind of the enthusiast who is trying to inves tigate the subject before investing his money in derricks, drills, etc., and boring deep into the bowels of the earth to discover the hidden treasure are the3e: What is the tho origin of petroleum and natural gas? What is the extent of the supply? Prof. Orton saya that petroleum and gas are derived from vegetable and animal matter deposited in and with tbe forming rocks. Much the larger proportion of both petroleum and gas is derived from the vegetable world, and from its' lowest organi zation, sea-wards. In S3 far as these "hidden powers of nature" have animal matter for source it is from the lowest groups of the ani mal world. How were petroleum and gas pro ducedfrom animal aud vegetable matter? The learned Prof, says there are two answers to this question: one is that they were produced by distillation, the other that they were pro duced by primary decomposition. ' Evidently the Prof, is not educated to the theory of dis tillation. He pleasingly tells ns that petroleum and gas are obtained from shale, a slaty rock, by distillation; and that artificial gas is ob tained from coal by distillation; and, also, that petroleum is obtained from coal by the same process, hence the name of coal oil as applied to petroleum. The Prof, seemingly regards the distillation theory as a pleasing little romance woven into the woof of scientific investigation. Tbe Prof, has thoroughly investigated the subject' geo logically, and who could bring to the investi gation larger practical experience and greater ability, consequently his conclusions bear with it the weight of great authority. He saya: "Petroleum was probably formed by a pecu liar, but primary decomposition of the organic substances that have been included in and in corporated with the forming rocks. Petroleum, and, of course, natural gas, as they seem to be inseparably associated, wag formed at, or about the same lime the rocks that hold it were formed. Shales are the chief source of petroleum, but sand stone is the great reser voir of concentration, which is effected by the laws of gravitation. Three elemeuts, say & the Prof., must combine in every field of large production, viz: An investing cover or roof of sbale; a reservoir of porous rock, and a source of oil or gas which may be either shale or limestone. What is tbe extent of the supply? As oil and gas arc contained in reservoirs, end as these concentrations, say our geologists, antedate history, it is an easy deduction from the premises, that as soon as a way is opened to the imprisoned oil and gas, and they are permitted to escape to the earth's surface to be made subservient (o the uses of man, the source ot supply begins to diminish, and whether in a day or two, or in a decade Df years, the day will surely come when the great oleaginous and gaseous reservoirs will be emp ty. The source of supply is not permanent. There have been no renewals of deposits of organic matter, consequently the limit of de composition was reached in the remote ages: Each reservoir contains so many feet of gas, or so many barrels of oil; how many feet of gas, or how many barrels of oil, no one can tell, as the length, breadth and depth of these subterranean reservoirs can not be measured. Where can gas be found? Geologists have tried to solve the problem, but failed. At Findlay, where is found the finest field of gas production in the State, geologists said gas could not be found. Positive fore-knowledge in this matter would save much anxiety and costly experiments. A trial is the only sure way of determining the presence or absence of gas under ns. It is worth trial. If found, how ever limited the supply, its use for light and fuel would result beneficially in manv scores of ways. Gas mains and pipes would have to be put ia the ground, and when natural gas should fail, there would be an instant demand for artificial gas, aud happily our coal fields, the source of supply for artificial gas, are inexhaustible.

Sateens too, lustrous as siik, are shown in the all-over designs, which resembled cm broidery so closely as to be mistaken for it, The snows snow and the blizzards blow, yet in the face of stinging atmospheres merchants are parading spring goods of all shades and grades. f Many standard fabrics obtain for spring. lhe rough snrfaccs which characterize pres ent styles will still to some extent obtain, though smooth surface materials are shown, both for combinations and costumes entire. Caprices in canvas goods are more current than ever, and many new departures are shown at Lord & Taylor's and other leading bouses. A decided novelty for spring, as an etaminc with bard twisted wo)l cords in cross oars. This new freak will combine prettily with the plain etamines, which will be the popular ca price of the season. Toilettes of faille, satin, duchesse and surah wiDg be worn in bronze, myrtle and olive greens; and all shades of brown as well as in the light grey aud silver tints in present favor. Silks of the new Khedive weave, which is a grade heavier than the Surah, will also ob tain for spring. Judging from the quantity of goods of this class on the counters of our first merchant importers, we are to enter up on an era of smooth surfaced silks and wool ens. Smooth fabrics with canvas effects are the undubitable caprice of the present season Materials with Etripes an inch wide, more or less in plush or velvet, alternateing with sections in dtntello or canvas, are a charac teristic capripe. Some fancies shown have stripes in two or more current colors. Diago nals in wool and silk are shown also. India silk with smooth snrfaccs are again mportcd in plain andx figured varieties for combination. Designs in intricately laced palms, arabesques and stripes are shown, out lined on grouids of cream, porcelain or indigo blue. Some it the lighter blues have designs from the Mikado, alternate with caprices rich poppy rei figures on pale ecru, shaded to brown. i Tnssore silks are also worn, and cotton goods are also handsome, that it is safe to predict another season for them in the new departures which look like gauze or old-time bercge.
