The Elections.

The returns from Pennsylvania and
Ohio Indicate the triumph Of the Union
party in both States. The vote was light.
In Philadelphia, Mr.. McMichal,- Union
candidate for Mayor, falls far behind
Henry's former vote, and only secures
his election by a small majority Con
sidering that Philadelphia is essentially a
Union city, we can only account for this
loss By local disaifection toward Mr..
McMichael, against whom the Trades T.
Mons and other bodies combined. AS
Philadelphia generally controls the State,
We see corresponding losses in many of
the counties. The vote, as it looks now,
will scarcely be within Fifty thousand of
what was cast last year. In Ohio the
majority is estimated at twenty thousand
the strong Union counties polling
light vote. In Newark, at the Charter
election, Unionists carried the day by a
largely increased vote. This gives us
hope for New-Jersey and the Constitu-
tional Amendment

Petroleum.

The actual product of oil in Pcnnsylvania
is set down at 3,500,000 barrels of crude oil
for the year 1865. and worth, taking an av-
erage of prices, $24 100000 at the mouth of
the wells. The process of refining increases
its value to over $60, ,OG0, 600, or half as much
as the wheat crop The consumption of this
newly discovered iluminator and lubricator
is increased very rapidly, both at home and
abroad. In 1862, Europe consumed 10000
900 of gallons in 1864, the importation had
increased three hundred per cent 100000
coo GALLONS being consumed there, and in
1866 it is estimated TINT 90,000,000 will be
required. There is brisk market for it
the world over-Asia, South American, and
the Islands of the sea all call for it. The
best authorities on the subject consider eigh-
teen months the life of an oil well. Some
last longer than this, but the great ma jority
give out before they are a year old. But
experience shows that oil may be struck and
good yields obtained in close proximity to
exhausted wells Some wells that refuse.
under the most vigorous pumping, to yield
barrel more, are made productive sy boring
them deeper. The deepest wells in opera
ton are but 500 to 600 feet. Scientific
men contend that the greatest oil deposits
underlie the earth's surface from 900, TO L.
200 feet. Considerable oil is produced in
Canida and West Virginia, but the product
Is small compared with that of Pennsylva-
nina.

Additional intelligence from Ireland States
that the Fenian excitement increases, ard
grave apprehensions are entertained. 1t is
reported that men in the English army are
boastingof their connection with the FenianS,
and the signs of dsaffection in the army
cause the England papers to demand the
rigid enforcement of discipline. Fears are
entertained that soldiers from the United
States will be landed on the coast of Ireland,
and rcporti had gained credence that
body of dsbanded United Srates soldiers had
already landed near Galway.

a Pardon for a Pistol.

a few days ago very interesting scene
took place at the usual crowded recep
tion Of the President. Applicants were
approaching Mr.. johnson, each with hi,
case ready after briefly stating which,
and record being made of it by the pri-
vate secretary, way was made for others.
In the line was MIR. Banks, an enterpris-
ing young merchant of New York, and
his friend Mr. Kervan, of Petersburg, a
leading miller, who applied for pardon
coming as he did within the twenty thou
sand dollars or thirteenth clause of the
amnesty proclamation. As soon as the
President saw Mr. Banks he recognized
him, asked him his business and hearing
that it was to ask pardon for Mr.. Ker.
van, he took note of it, and told him,
smilingly, he would hear from him in
the morning. The reason why the Pres
dent recognized the young New Yorker
is best explained by the following short
narrative:
In April of 1861, afser the Senate of
the United States had adjourned, Mr..
Banks was going from Washington to the
South, on the railroad running by Cor
louisville and Petersburg. At his side
was very pleasant person, who con-
versed freely on the different topics Of
the hour, and finally asked him to change
$3.50 gold piece, which he did, When
the cars stopped at Gordonsvillc there
was great and excited crowd assembled
They at once demanded, and sent some
of their number into the train, to see
whether Andy johnson was on board ?"
Lets here from him r' "Drag him
out ~ At this moment the gentleman
at the side of Mr.. Banks rose, and was
walking to the platform to show himself.
when the engineer started the train and
dashed off at his best speed His com
panion was Andrew johnson AS he
took his seat, Mr.. Banks asked him where
he was going. He said 40 my home at
Grecnyllle, Tennessee" 81 am glad we
got off from those gentlemen, Governor,
said Banks. 81 am sorry" said johnson;
81 wanted to tell them what thought
of secession" Mr. Banks then asked the
Governor if he was armed. The reply
was in the negative when the New
Y orker handed one of his fine rcvolyers
to the Tennessee Senator, and they soon
afterwards parted to meet few days ago
n the Presidential mansion. Banks has
lis gold piece to this day The next
morning he was sent for, and as the Pres
dent met him he said, 81 have often
hought of you, Mr.. Banks. You gave
ne pistol that might have saved my
ite. now give your friend, Kervan,
'ardon to start him in business"

ted with the believing of booth men, the

ted with the believing of booth men, the
shrek of the yang-yang, the mournful
tunes of the cousumptive organ and the
squeak of the hurdy gurdy, to remind you
that confusion was not all expended upon
Babel, but that moiety thereof was then
and there present.
And last, but not least. but contrary to
the wishes and efforts of all interested in
the success of the Fair, Cheralier's d IN
dustric and black legs were there, as many
of the visitors whose pockets, in the course
of each day, rendered beggarly account
of everything, except emptiness, as an
evidence of the skill Of those plying
these disrepatable arts. 1t is to be
hoped that in future Fairs the efforts of
the police force Of the society to ferret
out and arrest these classes of exhibitors
on their own hook, will be so successful
as to amount to perfect Prohibition OF
the exercise of their nefarious vocations
The displays on the course were all fine;
and in fact everything connected with the
fair, passed off so proftably and so pleas,
antly as to make the many thousands who
were present hope for even more in the
Fairs yet TO come.
Too mach credit cannot be awarded to
the management, and especially to the
indelatigablc Secretary, DIR. A. r. Jack
son, for the fine manner in which the ex.
hibition was conducted, and for the
smoothuess and pleasantne.s with which
everything passed off.

LATER

The trienuinl convention of the Episcopal
curch. including the Bishops and clerical md
lay d, puiies, assembled in Philadelphia on
Thursday, ANA will doubtless continue in
session for a considerable time. The Epis-
cSpal Church was the las: religious organiza-
tlon that was severed by the war, and i; was
not till the rebel States had become an an
tagonl>ilc military power, that the Southern
branch seeded and formed separate organ
izatlon. 1t is highly probable that this re-
cesslon Will not be recognized by the conyen-
ton, and that the seceders will be again TO-
ccvicd into fellowship. The proceedings
during tile opening of the session last week,
seemed to lndrcrte this course. The Bishops
of North Carolina and Arkansas took part in
the proceedings on Thursday. and several
from other lately seeded States were cxpec-
ted toarrlye. The Epi, copal church has 81
ways been strong in the South, and thi. con-
vention can do much toward establishing
good feeling between the two sections.

Thieves About.

Some thief or thieves, on Friday eve
ming last entered the cellar of Mr.. Ack-
erman, near the uptwown mill, eat up a
large number Of cakes and pies, and car
ried off a nice box of honey which had
been presented to Mr.. A., by some friends
who visited the fair Mr.. Ackerman had
no particular objections to the party S
eating the cakes and pies, if they were
hungry, but he thinks it was hoggish in
them to steal the honey before he had a
taste of it.
We have heard of another gentleman
wholast some twenty-onc spring chickens,
about three weeks ago.

Personal.

Brig. Gen. Selfridgc, the recently ap-
pointed Assessor for the 11th Revenue
District, and T T. Foster, Collector, paid
our Borough visit on Wednesday and
Thursday. The General served his coun-
try faithfully during the war, and carries
on his person SCARED evidences of his
bravery. NIr. Foster has been the eff
cient collector since the establishment OF
the Revenue Laws. Both were waited
on by numbers Of our citizens.

Victimized.

Quite a number Of the visitors to the
Fair last week, who had not had their yer
dancy rubbed of, or their eye. teeth cut
were feeced of their Green-backs, by the
members of the black-leg fraternity, who
usually prOwl about such places. One
gentleman from Jersey, who accounts
himself considerable in the driving of a
sharp bargain, was victimized to the tune
of 500. Others were relieved of sums
ranging from S85 down to 25 cents. Mr.
Conrad Harmon, of Scranton, fell vic.
tim to Chec0Fer d Lndustrie, who re-
lieved him of pocket book containing
some nine dollars.

lg~ Among the articles exhibited at
the Fair we noticed pumpkin raised by
ESQ. Drake which weighed one hundred
and seventy-fve pounds. The Esquire
had also on exhibition the finest Egg
plants and Sweet potatoes We ever saw
Mr.. Richard Staples also exhibited a
pumpkin which weighed one hundred
and thirty three pounds. The Rev Mr.
Pitts had also some fine Egg plants on ex-
hibition. A lot of crook-necked squash.
We never saw any to equal them, was also
on exhibition, but we could not learn the
exhibitors name.

R@-One Of the features Of the Fair was
the turnout OF our friend, and whilom
Brother Chip, Dr. +. Halliday, Of Mil,
ford. His family team were neat and
fast specimens of horse-fesh, and his po-
ny-team could hardly be beaten by the
result of many days search. 1t must

ter upon the enjoyment of such luxuries

0T The Wirz trial still drags its slow
length along in Washington, It's business
being greatly impeded by the persistant
arrogance of the prisoners counsel. The evil
dence lately adduced by the Government is
fully confrmatory of the barbarites prac-
ticed at Andersonville, as detailed by the
first witnesses. Some testimony for the de-
fence has been taken. On Friday, man
who said he was friend of Ben, Wood, tes-
titled that the prison-pen under command of
Wriz was frst-rate place, and that the u
nion prisonerss had good treatment. Forty
thousand graves enforce the argument on the
other side.

The recurrence of so many profitable fairs
throughout the county is sign of the return
ing health and usefulness of peace. In half
dozen fairs the receipts have averaged not
less then $4,000 or $1,000, and New York
and Illinois much more The start given to
manufactures promises much benefit to bUth
East and West, as we note establishment of
wool factories in illinois, and large wool sales,
amounting to 2,000,0G0 pounds, in Boston.

a Comfortable Reflection.

Chestnut Coal sells at the Stroudsburg
Depot at 50 and Stove Coal, at $3.50 per
ton. When it is considered that Coal
costs the company at Scranton, all ready
for transportation, but SlS5 per ton, it
may be safely calculated that some body
is making money out of the ''black dia-
mond."

Outlaws arc committing great depreda-
tions in Northern Alabama. Those known
as Tom Clark's band recently visited the
premises Of John S. Wilson near Florence,
tortured him to death with fire in vain effort
to extoTt money, and also killed the overseer,
Wilson's wife and two daughters. Four of
the ruffians were killed by troops that pur-
sued them. This is the same gang for
whose capture Gen. Hood once offered re-
ward. ..,.

County Sunday School Convention.

Mr.. EDITOR Permit me to use Il
corner Of your sheet, to call the attention
of Sunday school teachers and others, to
the County Meeting of the friends of Sun
day Schools, to lie held in Stroudsburg, on
Monday next. These meetings have been
held, with great advantage to the cause
in other counties, and it is believed will
result in increased interest in Sabbath
School instruction in our County, if gen
orally attended by those interested in this
work. Certainly whatever is practicable,
ought to be done, to secure the diffusion
Of correct religious knowledge and true
religious experience, among the children
and youth of our land and perhaps no
agency is more important than the Sun
day School for effecting these results
Come then, friends of this good cause,
and rally around the Sunday School ban
ner, and let us endeavor, BY mutual coun-
