in Illinois, Methodist preacher, having died, he
wished good notice TO accompany the announcement
of his death, 1t was written at his request and the
closing words were, Let us drop a tear to his
memory" This was placed ON the hook ready for
the compositor. Soon after Garvey came into the
Office and reading the obituary demurred to the last
sentence as exhibiting rather niggardly flow of
sympathy-only dropping one tear to the memory of
so good man. A person present suggested that it
would appear better to read tear or two'' and

The Internal Revenue Case at Pit Hole
City. Pa.

The following card is published in the Pit Hole
Daily Record, of November 2l
Editor Of the Record,
We observe by the Titusville Herald, and other
papers, that the officers of the United States Petro
leum Company said to be arrested and the wells
of the company Nos. 19, AZ, 81 and 76 levied upon.
We must state that we have three good objections
to the truth of the report:
First. No officer of the company has been ar
rested.
Second. That the four wells mentioned above are
wholly controlled by the working interests and the
Revenue Commissioners could not receive any re-
port from US, even if we offered it, as the law dis
tnctly requires that returns be made and the taxes
paid by the superintendent manager of each we'll
Third. No claim or levy whatever has been made
upon the United States Petroleum Company by the
Revenue Collector for taxes due at these wells.
The total amount of taxes due by the United States
Petroleum Company, at their well (the United States
welD, to November 10, does not amount to 5000,
which amount, of course, the company is fully pre-
pared to pay when demanded.
