The Titusville Herald of to-day says "There
was great excitement in the market for oil On
the creek yesterday, and sales of 1000 barrels
were made at Titusville at $3.50, an advance
during the day of forty cents, and as high price
as was obtained during 1868. The advance has
been caused principally by the scarcity Of oil.
At this time last year prices low, as will be
seen by the following sales which occurred JAN

barrels at Petroleum Center at Sl.90; 200 bar

A clever Yankee farmer, being much troubled
with rats, and being determined to get rid of
them, tried every possible plan, but without sue
cess. At last he got lot of rats and shut them
up in single cage; they devoured one another
till only single enc was left. He then turned
this one loose, when excited with the blood of
his felow-rats. and having became genuine
cannibal. it killed and ate all the rats it could
find on the premises.

PHILADELPHIA, November 6.-At
Jewish Convention yesterday, Rev.
DIR. Hirsch pronounced a eulggy on
the late George Peabody.
A resolution was adopted rekOgniZ-
ing divorces decreed by law where
both parties consent; but where it Is
issued against only one party it shall
not be recognized as valid unless
deemed in accordance with Judaism.
a resolution was passed that the
command TO marry the widFy of a
deceased brother, or of the tfkiHg oil
the shoe, had lost for them all under
standing, validity and binding force.
The following resolution was adOp-
ted:
Resolced, That the male child Of a
Jewish mother is, by its birth, not
less than the female, in accordance
with a principle never disputed in Ju-
daism, Q member of Jewish COM
munity.
Resolutions were offered to dispense
with the ceremony of CIRCUMCISION to
prOselytes to Judaism; also PROPOSE
tiOns in reference to the Sabbath,
mixed marriages, the establishment
of college and the modification OF
the directory laws, which were re
ferred to a committee with instruc-
tiOns to report to a subsequent con
ference.

questions of public worship and mari
tal relations, with DIR. Einhorn as
chairman; one on sabbath observance,

ches as chairman; one on retreat que--

Well, what is he about? We have

second, the EcUadOrians do not un-

means David ought to 90. We hope
the Secretary of State will hurry him

Regulations OF The Social Evil.

Tho health department of the Social
Science Association, during its late
meeting in England, discussed the
delicate questions of Government in
spectiUn and care for abandoned wO-
men, in order 10 prevent the spread
of contagious diseases, as is the prac-
ticC in France. Indeed, the British
Parliament passed an act some time
ago, known as the Contagious Dis
eases Act" assuming the task Of in
spectiOn and hospital care for the
women who infest garrison towns or
camps where there are soldiers, and
the form i'm which the question was
discussed was, whether this act ought
TO be extended to the civil pODula-
tion. Mr.. Berkely Hill read a paper
on the subject, and observed that four
points must be noticed in its discus
sion: /. Is the evil sufficiently great
to need interference? ,. Is it possible,
by any practical means, to lessen the
prevalence of contagious diseases? 3.
DO the interests of society justify in-
reference? T. Does the injury from
contagious diseases outweigh its good
influence as a determent from sin
He advanced arguments and quoted
statistics in support of the affirmative
reply to all four propositions. DR..
Charles Bell Taylor then read q paper,
vigorously denounclng the proposed
| legislation, which he condemned as
wrong in principle, and certain to be
useless in practice. He cOntended
that it would sacrifice the liberty OF
the subject, that it would place decent
women at the mercy of police spies,
that it would be cruelty tyrannical to
1 the fallen women, who would come
| habitually under its provisions, and
/ that il would be entirely useless,
chiefly because the most dangerous
and insidiOus forms of disease would
| frequently escape detection.
The latter view prevailed after the
debate had been protracted for some
/ time and had at last become quite
uprOariOus, and "the enthusiasm" as
London Times says, ''Of those who
fancied they saw in physical disease a
! divine judgment against moral trans
gresSiOn was obviously much in the
! ascendant over the calmer views of
more reasonable men, This result
was reached in spite of reports from
army chapiains that the act in ques-
ton has reduced ethnic disease in the
army almost three-iOurths, and that
its success in retaining fallen women
has been very great, many, after
going to the hospital and being re-
stored to health, manifesting a desire
to return to a yirtuOus life. Thirty
eight per cent, are reported as reclaim
ed at some stations, and most Of the
reformations are genuine, as is proved
by experience. Facts like these out
weigh any theories about their divine
or human judgment, and cause the
question, "Is our government, are
other governments doing their duty
in this makter?' to have new weight
and impre5siveness.
