After three year ’s trial of a 81,’OO saloon license, the people of •Toliet, 111., are more firmly than ever determined to maintain their high license. Pennsylvania has just made a lotable advance in the way of temperance legislation. The gover-nor-has just signed a high license bill which prescribe-a ‘O'e) Jicgnse h>r cities of 30,000' populnGoa 5f more and 8403 for smaller cities, *2OO for boroughs and SIOO for township hotels. It is only about a year since Inliana people became interested in natural gas, and there are now said to be 120 companies organized to bore for gas. The number of good, wells in the state is now about 30, The number of barren borings that have .been made, no one kfi'ows, but t'gey probably greatly outnumber the successful wells.

The supreme court has recently affirmed the constitutionality of the law requiring physicians to take out licenses in every county In which they practice their, profession. - The court holds with the Attorney General in the opinion that physicians may lawfully visit patients for purposes of consultation with other physicians, or in emergencies, in counties in which they are not licensed. Show tis a w indy, loud-mouthed infidel who continually condemns and ridicules the Christian religion, and the chances are ninetynine to a hundred that we can show you a conceited individual who harbors the inward’conviction that in believing and proclaiming to be false what the great majority of people believe to be true, he proves his mental superiority to the common herd. “See-est thou the man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope for a fool than for Sim.” « It is an outrageous shame that i town as large and wealthj’ as Eenssolaer should permit its common resting place of the dead to present so shabby and unkempt an appearance. The tombstones ought to be kept straight, the walks ought to be gravelled and kept clear of weeds and rubbish fffid above all that wretchedly dT3 '.apidated old, rough board fence and gateway in front ough: to he replaced by a handsome and appropriato structure. The people of the town ought to move in this matter at once. . ‘ . ' Jv i ir iii ii n..» ■ A now way of swindling farmers has just been heard from, inlov a, apd is likely, unless generally exposed, to be largely 'practiced.

y -x-yy... ..’A. .J',The swindler goes out among the {armors and takes subscriptions for some popular paper, say the Chicago Inter-Ocean, for a very low rate, 25 cents for six mbnths, perhpps. and ’collects the money in Imlvanve. The pretended agent t’.tu produces a tablet of blank ( paper and asks the subscriber to write his name and address, the ;.;r. nt having pen-and ink with him for the purpose. Each subscriber’s name being upon a separate slip, of paper. After a sufficient number of these names are collected, the blank space above them is filled out as a note, fqr a small amount, and the notes are then sold at the banks.

State Geologist Maurice Thompson Gives Some Interesting Facts About Natural Gas.

“The sooner everybody directly or indirectly interested in the discovery of petroleum and natural gas in Indiana lay to heart a few strong probabilities,” said State Geologist Maurace Thompson yesterday, “the sooner will they begin Ito act on safe principles. (1.) Discard the thought that gas and oil runs in belts, and quit assuming that a boring in line of two productive points will locate a third productive point. These assumptions are fallacies. (2.) Remember that the Wabash river, from near Huntington to some point near Delphi, perhaps near. Lafayette, makes in a general way a fissure or cleft in the Paleozic strata, or rather a shattering of those strata near the crest and along the arm of a low wide fold, and that along lateral projections of this fold gas in paying quantities may be looked for, and (chance exceptions) no where else, (3.) That the Trenton limestone, if porous, may contain large accumulations of gas even where there is no structural fold,. whilst on the other hand “the same stratum, equally porous, may not hold a foot of gas, though on the. apex of I an anticline- all this’ referable to the fact that limestone is variable, anti, therefore, may have porous areas surrounded by impervious ones’ —and the converse:—t-L) That when the drill in reaching the top of Trenton limestone at one point indicates a certain d eparture from sea-level, and at another point ten miles away it indicates a difference of. ten or twenty feet in this departure, this fact alone does not prove structural disturbance, but miry be the exponent of variations in the mass of the deposit. (5.) That in Indiana subsidence has followed upheaval, and the Paleozoic strata affected thereby have been greatly crushed and shattered. Therefore, slight faults and peculiar terraces, like those described by’ Professor Orton in Ohio, may be expected. (6.) That no man, no matter how great his scientific attainments, can foresee just where gas will not be reached by drilling. “1 am waiting with anxiety the out-come of drilling on the northern side of the Wabash arch. So far no gas has been found in that aaea save‘in a bore mads in ISbti

near Fiancisville. This well is reported to have flowed gas intermittently for twenty years. Its depth is said to be near 900 feet, which would place it in the Tren- ■ ton limestone. A well recently bored at Francesville showed oil at 895 feet, and one now boring at Monon will be watched with interest. Monon is north of what appeals to be the center line of disturbance, but it is in the area affected, just as Kokomo, and Marion, ami Muncie and Noblesville i aie south of the central line, but in the area affected by the disturbance. It remains to be seen whether our little disturbance, like the mighty one in Pennsylvania, has a productive and an unproductive side. or whether both sides have limited productive areas.”

The Harrow Swindle.

An Illinois exchange thus describes the modus operandi of a sivindSii’g game which, in one form or another has been very extensively worked in all parts of tiie country: There lias been a gang of swindlers at work on thefarmers in the., of This state recently; selling harrows and taking the farmer in as an agent. AU of the farmers caught so fir have been cheated out of 8280. The farmer signs an order for on-e-of the bar* rows which he is to receive free of chyge. The order is printed’ on the back of a postal card. In c few days the collector of the' company comes around and presents the contract, and it reads ‘ that he h&8-6rdered one-third of b gross of harrows.

Trenton Rock and Gas

South Bend Tribune. ‘ „ k’Z3 Trenton rock, or more properly Trenton limestone, is the name of a geological formation that was first noted in Oneida county, N. Y., r.ime fifty yer.rs ago, wlieie, In il.u d< yjp g l,: ’go cf a water-eourse,-li.rH**teta- watts er>ntaining wc!l-pr<.gei vvd fos'siis, characters; tie of the divis'on ■gcclpgical time known as-the tower f-iniriau Age, were found. 'The rocks of this period had received no loml nanie in ?»orth. America, so they were chri .dened Ticnton limestone. Trenton limestone, which has acquired such fresh and might}* impor tance of late, is a dark blue, almost black, rock, lying hJ massive, evert beds, which arc sometimes separated by layers of thick shale; Th° limestone has a thickness’ of about 150 feet. It is covered by a stratu m of 300 feet of thin bedded, dark shale, which is sometimes mistaken for coal. The shale is called the Utica slate or shale.

Trenton limestone was the first great limestone formation on the continent, and was much wider than any that succeeded it. It is found all over most parts of eastern North America. The oil and gas deposits in the Tren ton limestone doubtless owe their origin to animal and vegetable matter that was deposited in the limestone when it was forming, and the proba bility is that most of the matter so in cprporatod was animal in its nature; because the limestones were built up by moans of animal agencies, and there must be organic matter in them. But organic matter lias to take some permanent form, and when it has reached a stable condition the--Hight of agesdoes not, of necessity, alter or disturb it. ■ -

In all;the good wells that have been struck, with perhaps a single e.vcertion, the surface of the Trenton limestones ranges between three and four hundred feet below tide. . The statements of the drillers prove that not a single well in Northwestern Ohio is producing oil from Trenton limestone whe’re it lies more than 500 feet below the level of the sea. and not a single- well is emitting gas in quantities exceeding one hundred thousand cubic feet daily where the top -tis the Trenton rock Iles more than four hundred.fect below tide water. All of the gas wells oi Ohio combined that get their gas from a lower level l?.?s in . volume and pressure, and in the aggregate do not yie'd more than' two htiiidieii thousand— cubic feet of gar
