STORY OF THE COQUETTE WELL. LOVER'S DREAM AFTER HE HAD HKF.S JILTED, AND THE HAPPY RE SULTS THAT CAME OF IT. A letter from Fetrolenm Center, l*n., to the New York Sun, says: One of the most famous of the oil lanns were developed in the early days of the petroleum excitement on Oil Creek was the Hyde & Egbert farm, near this place. Dr. Egbert, of Franklin, and his partner had between them *1,000, which they paid lor the farm. This was considered an im mense price for it, ns it had not yield ed enough under cultivation to |>ay taxes. In 1864 they struck oil on it. They had several good wells, but none that compared with the great gushers that had spouted iheir 2,000 and 3,000 barrels a day further down the creek. Jlvde &" Egbert’s superintendent had n brother who lived in an Eastern town, lie was in love with a young lady ol the place, who was noted in the neighltorhood as a great coquette. Oue night in the early fall of 1864 a troupe ot Indians gave an exhibition iu the village. The young man and t ha young la iy iu question attended it logo! iier. A Oer he had escorted her home, he seized an opportunity it at offered ami asked her to become In- wile. She refused hint. lie went in ii ii disappointed and despondent, lie nad long entertained the idea ol seeking his fortune in the oil regions^ and before lie retired that night he had determined on carrying out the idea without further delay. Before morning he bad a dream. He thou gilt that he stood in a wild mount- union* ptjice, alone and friendless. Sii.ldeiily an Indian, hideous in war p lint, sprang tram a thicket and rushs i d toward niin with his tomahawk raised. The dreamer was unarmed, lie tried to save himself by flight, but lie could not move, lie had resigned l.imscll .to his fate, when.another person appeared on the scene. It was the coquette who had rejected his suit. She had a rifle. She quickly placed the weapon in her jilted lover’s hands and disappeared. The lover covered the Indian with the rifle anjt fired. When the smoke cleared away the Indian was gone.- Where he had stood there gushed from the ground a stream ot oil of great volume. It flowed down over.the land in a min iature river. The young man awoke fiom his dream. It mad a a groat impression pen him. lie interpreted it ns a mi:W- WISDOM, JUSTICE AND\ MODERATION ” i Tjip: legisl ature. 8ENATOKS ELECT.

THING It would seem to be the fashion uow-a-days for men to marry women older than they, or rather, considering the lact closely, -Ip* women to marry men youngjer tiipn ’themselves. Jltji$ not the fashion of nature or reason, however; consequently it is not a good or desirable fashion, despite the examples in prominent high social cir cles. When a young couple are wed ded, it appears to matter very little that the girl should be one or two oj? three years the mau’s senior; and.Tn- deed, it does matter little then.

Hi- departed lor Oil Creek next day, and went fast to the farm where his brotlier was working. One day the superintendent was showing his visi ting brother over llie Hyde & Egbevt limn. Suddenly the latter stopped and looked about him with great ex- claiination. • Tlii- is the very spot,’ said he, • that I saw in mv dream.’ He then related his dream to his brother. The spot was not considered a favorable one for striking oil, but the dream of the young man so im- pressed the superintended that h? determined to sink a well there. The result was awaited with intense ins leresi by tire two brothers. The drill, at the depth of 600 feet, struck a literal river of oil. The rich deposit spouted out of the earth at the rateof 2,000 barrels a day. The well bt» eame famous at once. It was given the name of the ‘Coquette,’ because of the coquettishness of the young lady that resulted in its being drilled. Thousands of persons flocked to the farm to see it, and a fee of ten cents a' head was charged for a sight at it, pouring its wealth into Dr. Egbert’s tanks. It flowed for fifteen months. Dr. Egbert made an immense fortune from it, and then sold a one-twelth interest in it lor $275,000. He gave 820,000 to the young mau ..who^e dream led to the discovery of the Co quette well. With this sura to start with, the fortunate dreamer in a few months made a handsome fortune. He returned to his native village. Still loving the young lady who had refused his hand, and learning that since his departure she had ceased entirely to go into society, he pro posed to her again. This t ime he was accepted, and he mnrried the former coquette. Shortly afterward the welt ceased to yield oil voluntarily, fell to a small ‘pumper* and then became entirely exhausted. A few gotten timbers ol the derrick that stood above the once lamous well is now all that marks the spot where the river of oil burst forth. Thirty-ninth District, B F Payne.

They are sure to be repeated, and they are bitter for the woman—for any woman, however philosophic—to hear trom any source. Women, as a rule, grow old in every way much more rapidly than men, particularly after forty. At 50, even at 60, a man, if in sound health, high spirits, well preserved, is not old ; he may not be really old at 65. But a woman at 45, at least in this counti y, while she may not be old, is assuredly" not young. At that period she has left her youth behind her forever. And to be 45 when her husband is 43 or 42 or 40 is a trial and a torment to the stoutest feminine heart.

Recently Mr. Park was called upon by Mr. Seligman, de Lesseps’ agent, who desired to know if the Panama Railroad Company was ready to, deliver the road to the canal syndicate in ac- dancc with the terms ot the agree ment. Mr. Park replied that it was. Mr. Park also stated that by the terms of the grant of the Colombian Gov ernment to the Panama Railroad Company, no canal can be construct ed within its territory without the awarding of damages to the railroad company by a board of arbitration ; and 4°. railroad .can be constructed across the -isthmus without the un qualified consent of the Panama Rail road Commny.
