Mr.. EDIToR:-Represent tations having
been made through the press and otherwise
that am responsible fer the reputation
Petroleum Centre has abroad, desire TO
say few things explanatory:
l. Petroleum Centre had its reputation
abroad before ever became resident of
of this place, and l am not aware that it is
any worse now than it was then. | rather
think the reputation of the place is
better than it was two years ago.
2. have never written, nor caused to
be written any article damaging to the char
acter of the citizens of this community or
injurious to its legitimate business interests.
In fact have written nothing at all for the
press, save about ten lines OF warning to
servant girls, for the Buffalo Express, and
this Rev. Mr.. Dunn and myself We're au-
thorized to write by a meeting of citizens,
which was not even called at my instiga-
ton.
3. | have neither spoken nor thought
anything at any place or time concerning
the character of this town, to which any
respectable man or woman could take ex-
csption. Ny remarks at Indianapolis, in
correctly reported for The Pittsburgh Com
mercial, set forth the bright side of our
history 10 relieve the reputation given 10
the place by Others.
Iwouid not have this explanation regard.
ed as an apology for the evils which do
abound in our midst. for the extermin alton
of which every true man should labor, but
beg leave to refer the informers of the
Editor Of the jamestown "Journal,' and

THE PETROLEUM MARKET.-The attitude
taken by the British Government, protest.
ing against the Invasion of Belgium, and
tue ayowed neutrality of Belgium, which
it is said France will respect. will give a
more confident and frmer tone TO the pc
troleum market on this side, as Antwerp is
the great petroleum market and port of
Europe. The latest news to the effect that
Russia has taken sides with Prussia, if true,
is significant The Russian navy will make
q powerful Offset to the French navy and
marine. Intelligent observers contend that
an efficient blockade of Bremen aud other

day afternoon last row occurre ed between
party of intoxicated Germans. in small
shanty near McKinaey's Hotel, Fegundas
City, which resulted in tn e death of one o,
the parties. 1t appears that they had pro-
cured half keg Of lager beer, and taken
Il to the shanty for the purpose of having
je..iiication all by themselves As the
beer weat down their throats in proportion
their fighting pIopeusities rose, and finally
eliminated in general row in which The
man alluded to above was killed, and a
brother Of his badly beaten. The murder
ed man was BADLY cut about the head and
had his left arm nearly severed from the
body. The body was taken in charge by
the citizens and held to await the action of
the eoroner's jury. We did not learn the
names of The niea engaged in the murder, or
that any arrests had been made.
LATha--From another gentleman just
from West Hickory, we learn that the kill
ing was accide ntal, and resulted while the
two Dgothers were engaged in scuilling. 1t
Is most unfortunate affair, but our inform
ant states no blanc can be attached 10 the
living brother. Liquor appears to be at the
