New on DEvELoPMeNTs.- We learn that Il
new OF, excitement is springing up in Mexican
County, Pennsylvania, arising from large
well struck by the Kenzua Petroleum Com
pany on their 100, 900 acre tract. This COM
panv are boring ten wells, one on each Of
their graod divisions of $4,000 acres. In
going down, more or less oil has been found
in each of the ten wells, but the present ex-
citement has been created by developments
at the we'll near Williapsyille and another
we'll on Marvin's Creek. The company are
tubing the we'll at Williamsyille, and it has
all the indications of being very fine flowing
we'll. Oil, mixed with large volumes of gas
and some brine, flows over the top constantly
Oil Creek may have to look to its laurcls.

Our ArmieS-PasG and Present.

There are in New York to-day several hun
dred returned soldiers, who are homeless,
houseless, and hungry. They have no shelter
at night save the Police station-houses no
food, save the cold victuals obtained by beg
ging. 1t cannot be wondered at, while an
army Of nearly a million of men, many of
them foreigners and strangers, has been dis
banded by the Government, that a consider
able number should find their way to this
city. Many of them have been rendered des-
titute b. sickness consequent upon exposure /;
o,io -. ~~o"E Enrish. are
victims of cruel imposition many have still
claims upon Government for arrears of pay,
which, when settled, will make them COM
Portable, and many doubtless have been re-
duced by their imprOvdence and intemper-
ance. All the agencies, which were so zeal
ously efficient during the war, have ceased
their operations, and there is no association
to which these destitute men can apply for
aid. Under these circumstances, the Trustees
of the FIVE POINTS HOUSE OF INDUSTRY are
compelled to appeal to the Christian aud pat
riotic public for aid and support. These men
without invitation COngregated around the
doors of the institution and they have not
been sent hungry away. Upwards of one
! thousand meals are daily given to them-meals
/ of the most fri gal and economical kind-and
temporary accommodation is being prepared
to give them shelter by night. The men ex-
press their willingness to work on he'most
moderate terms. and the Trustees have made
arrangements by which those in the various
sections in the Union who desire it, may help
the men who have served their country in the
hour Of trial, and leave them no longer un.
cared for in the hour Of triumph. Yesterday
a gentlsman from Tennessee applied fol
twel laborers to 60 with him for one year
! at ten dollars month and board. II the
friend of the soldier in any part of the country
will only incloSe the cost of transportation
and description of the kind of laborer!
wanted, to the Superintendent, he will imme.
diately forward fitly selected man. ItshoulG
be remembered that many are crippled
manned, and..reduced, and that greater charity
Will be evinced by authorizing such to bt
sent than in applying for able bodied men
Tins in few weeks all these war-worr
soldiers can be provided fer. Meanwhile the
work and the wants of the Institution are
more than doubled. The meals now eiver
cost about sixty dollars a day, and this ex-
penditure must be continued for some weeks
The public are urgently invited to come ant
see the class of men thus supplcants for aid
at their frugal dinner at one o'clock, and 10
Judge as well Of the necessity as the economy
of the work.

auTTLE CATfCHlsm FOR LITTLE FREE TRADERS

What is Free Trade? An English
machine for breaking down the manufac,
tories of other countries, in order to mo,
nopolize them. .
What are the wages Of Free Trade !
Six-pence day.
Who arc benefited by Free trade =
Those who import the raw material, and
export the manufactured article to SIMPLY
the countries from which the former Is
obtained.
Who are the advocates of Free Trade
The English aristocracy, played out poll
ticians of the American Democracy, and
the Southern cotton lords.
What would be the effect of Free
Trade? To shut up all American work,
shops, turn our artisans and mechanics
out of employment, and several hundred
millions Of dollars in gold, annually, to
Europe, and deprive our Government OF
of money now received for duties or lm-
ports, with which to pay the interest On
the public debt.
1t is time that the people of such States
as Pennsylvania begin proper move
ment on the subject of protecting the
labor by which their resources are devel-
oped and the wealth which supports the
Government created. The free trade
movement originates with the Democracy
of New York city. The leaders of that
party are backed by English maoufac,
turers and capitalists, in this as were the
leaders of the rebellion backed by the
same men. Let these facts be remem.
bered, and the free trade league, like the
combination of treason, will be defeated.

who was Guilty of this Murder. :?

On Tuesday afternoon last, colored girl
named Ray, and white girl named Homah,
left their homes in this borough, TO visit q
Mrs. MDade, an aunt of the former, living near
Centeryille, about FIVE miles below town. On
Wednesday morning they were found IN the
bed Of the Little Schuylkill on the ice, close
10 shore. the colored girl lying dead, with her
legs through the ice. in the water, and the
white girl nearly exhausted. An inquest was
held uBou the body of the girl Ray, and the
girl Homan testified that they had started TO
visit Mrs. MDade, taking with them quart
bottle of whisky; that they had drank the
whisky until they became intoxicated, and the
colored girl slipped and fell over the bank;
that she (Homan) had gone down the bank TO
her assistance, and was unable to get back.
The bottle, still containing small qnanHty
of the liquor. was found near the spot.
yerdict was rendered in accordance with the
facts.-IamaQUa Journal.
One such incident as the above should have
more power with intelligent and reasoning
people than forty temperance lectures. Here

them and thrown the other over the bank
leaving her in a condition similar to that in
which she was found, he would have been
tried, convicted and hung. The man who
sold them the whiskey escapes punishment
because of the law, and jury render verdict
''in accordance with the iacts;" that is, that
they got whskey, got drunk, and one froze tc
death. And what becomes of him who fur
nished the whiskey, which was the direct
cause of death? He is permitted to run al
large, and no doubt still! calls himself man
Such is an evidence of the law, the justice,
and christianity civilization of to-day.

TAXATION on DoGs-An interesting
discussion took place at the annual meet
ing of the Pennsylvania Agricultural So,
ciety on the 10Th ult upon the taxation
of dogs. 1t was stated by one gentleman
that there are five hundIed thousand dogs
in OHIO, and BY another that there are
seven hundred thousand in Pennsylvania,
aud about one million IL New York. The
society ask Congress to impose a tax of
two dollars on each dog, which would
give tothe public treasury revenue from
tho three States mentioned above of over
four millions of dollars. This might be
called a protective tariff for the benefit of
the wool interest.

THEOLOGICAL VIEW OF NEGRO TEs-
TIMoNY.-A very bold and telling speech
IN behalf Of the rights of negroes to tes
tify in the court was recently made in the
Tennessee Legislature by Mr.. Richards,
who said, in the course Of his argument :
"Why, Mr.. Speaker, to touch very
cautiously upon the domains of theology,
in which am but little versed, is it not
q fact that the Methodists, Presbyterians,
BaDtlsts and other religious denomina-
tions of the South have protessed for years
to have christianized multitudes of the
negroes aud made them fit for Heaven
And will these good people have US be-
lieve that a man may be good Metho-
dist or Baptist and yet not be fit to be
believed on oath? That he may be fit to
take the sacrament and unworthy to stand
in the witness box? That he may sing
before the Almighty as saint 10 glory,
but cannot 90 before the justice of the
Peace to swear to an account Of five dol
lars for work which he has done in the
workshop or cotton field? If that be re-
ligion Mr. Speaker, and these the princi-
pies Oh which it is based, think the less
of il the better for public morality"
