The ON CreaE Rauw.v

Has been sold out to the New York
Central and Pennsylvania Central Rail
roads. The result of this movement will
be the change of the Oil Creek Road TO
the narrow guage. which will connect the
Oil Region directly with New York and
Philadelphia, the connection to be made
with the former city by means of the
Lake Shore and New York Central, and
th-Philsdelpbia by the Philadelphia
and Erie. TINS will obviate the building
of a road from Irvine to Titusville and
Oil City, which was lately proposed by
the Philadelphia and Erie. and the plan
will in a great measure give { Pennsyl-
vania a larger interest in the oil trade
than has heretofore been the case. The
Cross cut road which was to have been
built from Cory to Westieid, will also
now become obsolete, as the Oil Creek
freight can be brought to the Lake Shore
over the Philadelphia and Erie road.
The jamestown Democrat denies the
truth of the above statement, which We
find in a Pittsburg paper. and says:
We are informed by = prominent on
cial upon the o. c. P. R, that although
the heavy stockholders IN that r. r. have
lately made some sales of stock, there is
to be no change whatever in the manage
ment of the road. Should the Cross Cut
r. r. be built, probably an additional set
Of rails to fit the narrow guage may be
laid down upon the road, but the idea
that the Company are to give up the
broad guage rails which now give them
direct communication with New York.

such circuitous route as via. Bnffalo and

Accident to a Circus Company.

met with an accident a few days since.
when on their way from Armagh to John

some distance constitutes the township
road. the only t~horoughfare through the
Laurel Hill. As the men were driving
dong this, close beside the slackwater or
dam. the road became very narrow. ow.
ing 10 its having been washed away by
the late heavy rain, in consequence of
which the hand wagon upset. tumbling
four horses into the water. two of which
were drowned. The owners estimated
their value at five hundred dollars. The
next wagon contained the bears, and il
was precipitated over the embankment
and one of the bears killed. After this
the property wagon, as 1t ia called
by showmen, which was also tumbled i'm

Extensive Fire I'm Brooklyn.

The FIRE which occurred in Brooklyn on
Friday last. proved The most destructive
which has occurred for many years. The
two buildings which were burned extend
ed 300 feet along the dock and 200 feet
back. The building contained an i'm
mense quantity of nitrate of soda or crude
s~altpelrp, and, as proved on this occasion.
a highly explosive and dangerous article.
Among the other contents were sugar,
molasses, wool, hides and guano.
Shol tly after the flames were discovered
they communicated with the nitrate of
soda, and a terrible explosion took place
The force of which was so great as To BE-
sensibly felt for at least one mile. and the
effect for the distance of several blocks
way very destructive. The glass in whole
rows of houses was broken. and contents
greatly damaged. Several families were
terror stricken by the falling of ceilings
and the smashing of glassware, while
taking their meals. One explosion fol
lowed another in quick succession. The
dense smoke formed a column reaching
some hundreds o. feet in height, while
immense bodies ofhameS shot outthrough
the dense black mass. aft riding a sight at
once magnificent and terrible. So violent
was the force of these explosions that a
number of firemen standing on the pier
were hurled into the water escaping with
Jackets. The windows in the ferry
house foot of Wall street, New York,
we're shivered into atoms. and similar
are reported all along South
street. 1t was fortunate that the salt
oetre was stored in bags. Had it been
put I'D in barrels or hogsheads many per
,ons would have been injured by the hy-
ng slaves and hoops. These explosions
continued, with more or less violence, for
more than two hours.

The Story of the eOId Oak Chest
no Fiction.
-Four Childrea smothered in a chest


One of the most remarkable and dis.
tressing events that we aver recorded
took place last night in the township Of
Newburg,
A man named Andrew Sehoger lives
near the Buckeye House oH4 the Kins-
man street road, leading to Warrensville,
better known as Dolph Edwards tavern
About 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
Mr.. Schoger and wife vent into the field
with their oldest boy, to get q load of hay
leaving four children-Mary aged years,
Charles 10 years, John 4 years, and Cath
crime | year old, at home. The parents
told the children to go into the corr
house and shell some corn for the chick
ems.
Returning from the field. the children
could not be found. Search was made,
the neighbors r~allying to the assistance
of the distressed family, and the search
of the premises, including the corn house,
and the woods, was continued through
the night. but without success.
This morning, Thursday, 1.-THE corn
house was again searched, and on open
ing an old German chest standing there
the children were found, smother ed to
death, and their faces turned black from
s~uffocation.
The children, at play, had got into the
chest, and had either themselves shut
down the lid, or the lid fell down and a
spring lock shut them in that living tomb.
The father was in the city this Thurs
dayImorning to see about the burial of
his children.-C2epsLand Herald.

Effect of Negro Fighting on the

fore Petersburg, says.

in favor of the down trodden race, and
every one who has been with them on

The Wise Ambassador

We remember reading, in an old French
magazine, account of an ambassador
from the courr of the Emperor Charlie
magne to that of an Eastern monarch.
Dining one day in company with the bar
barian king and the great men of the
court, not knowing the regulations and
the etiquette of the East, the ambassador,
without dreaming Of harm. moved with
his hand a dish which had been placed
near him on the table. Now the laws Of
the tyrant required that if any guest
touched a dish tina was brought forward
before the king was served, he should suf-
fer the penalty of death; consequently,
all eyes were turned upon the ambassa-
dor of Charlemagne, and there was an
immediate cutlery against him; for the
courtiers of the tyrsnt thought to gain
his favor By u~pholding him in his tyran-
ny. The barbarian king feared to dis
plerse so great an emperor as Charlie
magne, but he feared TO transgress his
own laws more, and he told the ambassa-
dor that he must suffer death for what he
had done.
Great king" said the Frank, II sub
NIT 10 my fate. The laws of so powerful
a monarch should not be broken with
impunity. l die without a murmur, but
in the name of the great emperor whose
humble servant l am, | beg of your mai
esty one favor before / die"
Thou speakest well" replied the bar
barian king. 1T is not my will that thou
shouldst suffer death, but since the laws
require it, | give thee promise of king,
whose word is fate, that whatever thou
askest shall be granted. have spoken "
Then I am satisfied" replied the am
bassador. proudly; and he glanced con-
t~eunptuou~iy az the o~bsequious ccurtieIs.
All | ask Is this: give me the eyes of
every man who saw me commit the
crime"
The tyrant seemed confounded, aad
and his f,tterers turned pale. Bat his
word had gone forth. and must be kept.
The Franks request must be granted.
1T is WE'LL" said the king, Their eyes
shall be plncked out for thee"
But when it was asked who had seen
the ambassador move the dish. every
courtier wss eager to deny that he had
seen the act. The seTvants also exclaim-
ed that they had not witnessed it, and
the king also declared that he himself
had not.
Then why should I die. great king?
said the Frank. THE deed cannot even
be proved against mel"
The king WAS pleased; and not only
pardoned him, bat, acknowledging and
p~raising his cunning and wisdom, sent
him home 10 his master loaded with pres
.nts.

The Great Rebel Raid.

The following article from this morn
ing's National In~telligancer fairly repre-
sPnts the general understanding and feel
ing o n the whole ridiculous subject:
Tn Q military demonstration on the out
skirts of the National capital within The
last four days, has come to an end. This
demonstration did not take the form of
anything like an attack on the city, ex-
cept IN front of Fort Stevens, where some
skirmishing for disclosed the presence OF
q hostile force. On Monday and Tues.
day last the number of the enemy's force
at this point, or any other point, was ut
terly unknown TO our military authori-
ties; but it has been subsequently devel-
oped that at this locality it never much
if at all exceeded 500 or 600 men. We
have received information to the effect
from officers who have traced the marks
OF the encampment Of tine besiegers since
the night of their evacuation. During
then night of Tuesday last, after the re.
connoissance which. late in the evening
of that day was ordered By Gen. Wright,
the purnose of feeling the strength of en-
envy. 1t is moreover confirmed by testi-
mony of persons who have come into the
city since the siege was raised that some
slight demonstrations were made by the
enemy at two other points on our north
ern and northeastern front, but the mum
Der engaged in them or in the dash made
on the railroad between Washington and
Baltimore on Tuesday last is, of course
unknown, though from the poverty of
their achievements there, cooperative de-
taciments must have been SMALL
The reconnaissance on Tuesday evening
in front of Fort Stevens resulted in a
smart brush with the besieging party who
were easily driven by the small body of
our troops sent out on the scout until
darkness put al end to the pursuit.
Our troops lost not 800 men in killed
wounded and missing in the attack
The insurgents loss was not so great.
from the plaucidity of their numbers..I
They left upwards of ninety of their
wounded at the house of Mr.. Blair, and
a few Of their wounded on the field.
We have comp Iratively a small force
OF cavalry and the majority of the rebels
had stolen horses for themselves, and
had a long distance the start of US. 1t IS
supposed that they wilrnot trouble them
selves to go over into the Shenandoah
Valley "a that seems I o be an utterly
useless question but will push straight
for the Rappahannock and Lee for Rich
mond unless Gen. Grant shall manage to
intercept them. 1t is not supposed that
there is even the slightest possibility Of
capturing them.
