The AssEssoRsHiP IN THE SECOND
WARD.-TOere appears to be great M ,>apprehen-
sion in regaid TO the appointment of the Assessor
in the Second Ware, and an explanation Of the
real state OF affairs may be interesting. When
the vacancy was caused by the death OF Mr.
Harmer, the Democratic Assessor, u was filled
by the majority OF the Commissioners (Republi-
cam, and not by the Court OF Common Pleas, a
generally believed. The fact that both Asses
sOrs were OF the same political party gave rls'
to the fear that there would be trouble at the
Extra Assessment, and the case was submitted
to Judge Ludlow, who was asked to say that Tho
Assessors had no right TO meet IN secret az ];
was alleged they claimed to do. Judge LuioW
said, that while IL was true they had no right 20
meet in secret, IL would be improper 20 admit
every body and he therefore suggested that the
AS essors allow gentleman to remain In the
room with them, as the representative of those
who were apprehensive OF fraud. The Judge,
however had no authority under the law to
compel the Assessors to admit strangers, and
hence their refusal to permit any one to b2
present during the Extra Assessment for the
Second Ward.

End Report OF ONO Crops.

From, the Steubenriue Herald Of Monday.
Some six weeks ago farmer of this
county, who had travelled through the
greater portions of Jefferson, Harrison,
Tuscarawas, Carroll, and part of
Guernsey, reported mt this office that
the condition of the wheat was excel
lent and full of promise. But we un-
derstnnd that the wheat has been great
ly damaged since, by sudden changes
and severe frost-that the wheat does
not promise as well now as earlier in
the season in the section of country re-
ferred to above. The same may be
said of other parts of the State. A dis
patch from Franklin county, Ohio, da-
ted April II, is as follows: Wheat is al
most gone. Ground rather dry. Farm
ers busy plowing. A little rain would
be very good. A dispatch dated three
miles east of Columbus, April 10th,
says: Wheat is almost ruined. APP
plies look fair. We need a little rain for
our pastures. A dispatch dated Fair
field county, April l5, says: Thewheat
crop in this section is almost an entire
fuilure. do not think il will average
ten bushels per acre. Peaches all killed.
The prospect for apples, pears and cher
ries is very flattering. A dispatch da-
ted Findley, Hancock county, northeast
Ohio, says: Wheat crop very unprom-
ising-never more so. Many of the
farmers are plowing up their wheat tor
oats aud corn. Some few are expert
menting in Spring wheat by narrowing
in on Fall wheat. Peaches are consid-
cred as "gone up" Other fruit doubt
full. W

VIII the OIL Yield Fall One

The tax on crude petroleum, it would
seem, has crippled the production OF
oil to very great extent, and if not
soon removed it is argued, will cause
the yield to cease altogether eventually
in the venango oil regions. At least
such will be the result, if new develop
ments are not undertaken, which will
not be to any great extent until the tax
on crude petroleum Is removed. The
Titusville Herald has the following on
the subject of a decreased production:
'tThe oil business was never in more
critical condition than Mt present. The
doubts expressed in some quarters as to
the repeal of the tax, the very small
amount of development going on in
comparison to previous years, the low
price of oil and the present large pro-
duction, are subjects which keep every
interest connected with oil in a condi-
tion of the most perpleXinS suspense.
Letters are written from the Eastern
Markets for opinions as TO how the
production is going to hold out, and
letters of inquiry aIe constantly sent
to the Eastern markets in reference to
the probable demand, but both parties
appear to be non-plussed. 1t may,
however, be a reasonable supposition
that, if tn e tax is not removed, the pro-
duction of oil will be very liable to fall
of, as there are so few of the wells
whose average yield pays expenses.
Even with large wells, which are
BILE drawback We will give n sam
pie: The Burtis well, now the largest in
Pithole, produced in seventy days H.
900 barrels-the cost of producing
which, including the tax. was S28 SIS.
The profits or dividend was SlO,S5l.S4
-
interest would be a dividend of 1899. u;
the lowest price for which oil was sold
being $3.50, the highest S3.75. This may
at the present time be considered very
large producing we'll, but those who
bought one-siXteenth working interest
in it are anxious to see their money
back; and il the Burtis well does not
last any longer than the other wells of
Pithole, the shareholders may consider
themselves very fortunate if the realize
the money they have sunk. If this is
the case with II large producing well,
what must it be with those which are
only producing one hundred barrels
and under?
On the other hand it has been proven
that when well is first struck it gene
rally produces more than at any future
period of its existence, and month by
month it gradually dries away until it
dries up. If, therefore, there is no
stimulus given to further production,
the wells now in existence cannot be
depended on to supply the market, and
from the general appearance of the pro-
ducing territory at the present moment,
there is nothing to guarantee u supply
equal to even what it was last year..
This is one reason why the Pittsburg
operators are buying the oil to hold it,
as the chances are very much in favor
of its becoming aascarce article before
next fall, when it will be most in de-
manG cd.

THE REcoNsTRUcr1oN coMAIITTEE.

TIE recent foot hurdle race between
undergraduates of Oxford of 200 yards,
(more than ninth of nile,J over
twelve flights of hurdles 4 feet high,
was ruu in twenty-six seconds, or at
the rate of a mile in four minutes and
six seconds and a half; but that of a
mile in length, betweeen the under
graduates of oxford and Cambridge,
was run in four minutes and forty-fiye
seconds, won by Oxford, and that OF
two miles in exactly ten minutes, a
dead heat, the two leading athtete reach
ing the winning rope at the same in
stant. The boat race of about four and
a half miles on the river Thames, the
last and the most important of all the
contests, has again; as for several years
been won by Oxford, in twenty-five
minutes and tifty seconds, but only
after.a very hard contest. We believe
Cambridge has not been the winner in
the race since 1858 or 1859.
