tit the interests on that creek. The ter.
{ minus depot is to be on the lands of the
I Terrsgsnta Company.
The well on Pithole is understood to be
failure.
3 The roads on Pithole are in a horrid
condition. Teamsters ask 1915 per barra
to Titusville and $2.75 to the Allegheny
, river. The latter stream is very low and
: boating is quite difficult.
Everything is very high, especially fuel
and timber. ....-
AMERICAN TOURISTS.
The Times says that it is estimated that
there is aboufIOO,OO0 Americans in Eur
ope at this time. Probably there will have
been altogether less thsn ZOO 900 there in
the course of the summer. Paris is their
chief place of resort but they penetrate
into every country of Europe from the
Arctic Ocean TO the Mediterranean.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT IN
NORTH CAROLINA
The Times has the following from the
Fayetville News TIE people of North
Carolina will stulify and degrade them
selves by adopting the constitutional
amendment, abolishing slavery
The News says that the State Conven-
tion must leave slavery where they found
it and as it existed before the war.
Many of the southern tier of counties
bordering on South Carolina have in
structed their delegates to the State Con-
vention to take this position, and insist on
its adoption by that body.
FROM THE RIO GRANDE.
The Worlds Washington special says
that this evenings Star pronounces the
reports of an impending collision on the
Rio Grande untrue, IS well as the story
that reinforcements have been sent to
Texas to repel the encroschments of the
French troops. 1t is quite certain that the
Government has no knowledge of any
trouble in that section.
DAVIS TRIAL POSTPONED.
General Dick Taylor returned this morn
ing from Fortress Monroe where it is
thought he had an interview with JeE.
Davis, his brother-in-law. What its object

plain, however, that there will be no trial |
of the rebel chief for some time to come.

pared with that made on the 3lst of May,
shows $l22, 100000 during the intervening
period, owing in part to the extraordinary
sums required to pay the army.

culstion shows an increase since the 3Ist

A swINDLER.
During the late Presidential canvass a
man named 7. W. Fuller, was the Po-Po-
TRAITOR of series OF frauds by pretending
to be the agent of the Republican Exeeu-
tive Committee, of which Senator Harlan
was Chairman, and collecting money from
various Federal office-holders through the
country, amounting to $3.50 900. He had
previously provided himself with several
hundred blank receipts signed by MIR. Har-
Ian, which he had stolen. Gen. Baker has
ever since been tracking Fuller with his
detectives, and only recently was success
full in arresting and bringing him to this
city. He halls from Indiana, but has
served years term in Missouri prison.
CORRECTION.
There is no truth in the report in some
parts of the country that the five dollar
notes of the National Banks had been
counterfeited. After the first installment
of notes had been issued to some five or six
of the banks first organized, slight change
was made in the lettering and minor de-
tails of the five dollar notes, which accounts
for the variation now seen between the
fives first issued and subsequent issues.
There are no counterfeits of sDv >
