THE NEW COUNTY PROBE r.

The project for forming new comfy ont
of portions Of Crawford, Warren and We
mango counties, with Titnsville as a county
scat. has been revived this winter. Senator
Lowry has introduced to the Senate a bill
for tho formation Of the new county. and
there 10 . strong probability that it will
pass TINT branch Of the Legislature. We
have faith to believe. however, that the
measure will be killed in the House. Hith-
erto we have regarded this project as hardly
worthy OF n"ticr. and have consequently
been silent in regard to 1t. But It is now
time to speak ont upon the subject. inss.
much as there is some danger that the
scheme may be carried through the legisla.
ture. In common with everybody else in
this part Of venaneo county, we are op-
posed TO this measure, regarding It as en-.
fire'y matter of speculation. We don't
believe that outside of Titusville hundred
men in the three counties approve Of the
scheme. They do not wish to add to their
already heavy burden Of taxation merely
for the benefit OF Titusvillc. The people
along OIL Creek valley are unalterably op.
posed to any such project. The people of
Venango are we'll satisfied with their pres.
ent situation. They desire no change. and
will strenuously fight agaicst anything OF
the kind. Why wouldn't It do as well to
make Titus,ille a county, then it could
he county and enunty sea% all to
itself, and have the privilege of paying
for the fun. But to speak seriously the
people to bs affected by this measure, and
who are opposed to its consummation.
should let their opposition he known and
felt at Harrisburg. These new county
schemers and spectators should be thwarl-
cd. There can be no sound argument adduced
In favor OF this proposed new county. We
shall have more to say upon this subject
soon.
