81 A canvass is now opening in New
York for United States Senator. Horace
Greedy is being spoken of freely. For
the first time we feel inclined to think
that he would lie the light man in the
right place. His election at this time,
too, would be most appropriate as a re-
buke to Seward, who has lcng been his
political enemy. We hope to see Horace
succeed this time.

AT INTERESTING BAPTISM.

"Old Christ Church" /" in Lancaster coun
ty, Virginia, was recently during a cOnvo
cation of clergymen Of the Northerd Neck
the scene Of a most interesting baptismaI
ceremony. An observer on the occasion
gives the following description:
The ample shade Of the grand old walnut
trees was soon shared by an immense con
course Of people, and ere the hour arrived
every seat and resting-place and nook was
filled. There was a secret influence pervad-
ing the minds of that multitude, saying, in
the silence Of their hearts, "your fathers for
generations past have worshipped within
these venerable and majestic walls The
services of the day were very solemn.
The pure white old Italian marble fOunt,
Of three feet diameter, was to be used.
MARK S. AsHBURNE was baptized, and then
he presented his little boy
"Name this chilu.' was pronounced by the
rector officiating.
All was still IN that large old church, as
the standing congregation had every eye
rivited on the fontal scene. But what a
death-like silence came over them when the
father answered for the child:
ellis name is JEFFERSON DAVIS y
The minister faltered as he slowly pro-
nounced that name. Tears bedewed many
cheeks as they tricllled down; hearts were
bleeding, battle-felds, the buried dead, the
casemate and the prisoner-this was the
scene that came before our minds.-NoJolk

STATISTICS or THE OIL TRADE IN
PENNSYLVANIA.

From the Pittsburg Commercial July III
The quantity Of refined oil removed from
the distilleries in the 22d distrSet for the fs-
cal year ending June 80, 1865, was 142, ,23S
barrels, and for the one ending June 80
1866, 345, ,907 barrels. The amount bonded
during the two years, was 409992 barrels
ont of a total Of 4SS,l40 barrels. In one
month of the year ending June 80, 1865, did
the number Of gallons removed from the dis
tilleries in the district amount to l,000,0 600.
For the last fiscal year the amount exceeded
100000 gallons in August, September, Oc-
tober November and December, 1865, and
January, May and June, 1860 The largest
amount removed was in the month Of june
last, the number Of gallons being l,7O6, 256,
equal 10 1866 % barrels, Of 40 gallons
each. The number Of gallons bonded for
the year ending June 80 1865, was s, ,926 3l7
gallons, and for the year ending last June,
12,47236l gallons Total forthe two years,
l6,S99,67S gallons, or 400, ,99l barrels,
against Is, las barrels of free.
Ii will be seen that by far the largest
amount of the production from the oil dis
tilleries in that district is put in bond, and
from there generally removed eastward,
where the revenue is collected and credited
90 the places were collected.
For the two years ending last June, there
was collecsed within the district tax on re-
fined oil amounting 70 S625, lS9 p. If the
tax on bonded oil, when removed from the
district, was credited tothe districts in which
il was distilled, we would be credited with
more than double the amount of revenue
from this source than we are.

We understand that a difficulty of q yer,
serious nature occurred in The neighborbood
Of Beaver Greek, in this county. on Mondav
at the trial Of TIVE young men, which took
place at Squire SMITHS, named respectively
/ a. W. Cox and ALEXANDER CooPER. The
authorities, while endeavoring to hold a fair
and impartial trial, we're interrupted in their
proceedings by the intercession of other
parties, when a general melee ensued which
terminated most seriously to several of the
intruding party. Mr.. JOHN Cox suffered
the loss Of several teeth, together with the
fracture Of his jaw bone, and in other re-
speets was severely injured SAMUEL REED
was stabbed in six different places, and his
recovery is considered doubtful.
There were several others who also sus-
tanned serious injuries, which, however are
not considered fatal. The participants were
rendered AOTs di combat, and their recovery
must be patiently awaited in order to have
the supremacy Of the law vindicated. We
were unable to learn from what cause the
difficulty originated.-KnorUilLe Commercial
