AN IMPosTER.-A man came into
the Station House Tuesday evening, a
little before dark, and asked to the
privilege of staying all night, saying
that he had no money and no friends.
The Chief told him he could not keep
him because he had had time to hunt
up place, and he could not think of
allowing a strong able-bodied man
like him to remain. But, feelinga little
sympathy for his destitution, he took
out twenty cents and told him that was
all he had about him if it would aid
him any he was welcome to it. The
man i>ached out his hand to take it,
and In stooing over out dropped q
bottle full of Whisky. The beggar
made another stoep to pick up his flask,
when book fell to he floor, between
the leaves of which was found about
$40. Of course the Chief was indig-
nant, and said SO in language none the
mildest.-Erie Rep.

A Worthy ESAMPLE.-We are
pleased to note the Act-and the ex-
ample is one worthy # imitation-that
Cawford's IndependthtSchool District,
Pymatuning township, Tins ~onnty,
hires a lady teacher at a salary Of
$500 rer r,o-s'rj and instead of stip-
nlatips that the lady must build the
are in the school-room, the directors
hire it built for her. This is as it
should be. And what is still more
worthy of note connected with this
Independent School District is, that
the lady teacher is not obliged to
"board around" like a heather, but has
the privilege of hiring her board
wherever it suits her convenience. This
also is as it should be. OF all the
abominable "relics of barbarism" that
still linger among civilized and chris
tian men, this one of school teachers
boarding around" is the worst

We take the following from the
Paducah Kentucian: "There Is no
use talking, people will take their fun.
On night before last, three young gem
tleman Of Paducah were skylarking
around the streets, when they came up
with spoony-looking fellow, and at
once determined to have some fun out
of him. After quizzing him for some
time, all of which he took in good part,
one of the trio remarked to him, You
are the man who killed Benjamin
Haiden, in johnson county, Illinois
a few days since; there is a reward Of
five hundred dollars offered for you
and you must consider yourself oul
prisoner AT this, spoony pulled out
a six-shooter, and bringing it to bear
said, you have told a id lie; Inev

One of Mark Twain's best is his
story of the lawsuit, wherein the turn
ing point was whether old sledge was
game of chance or game of skill.
The jury on going out was equally di-
vided, but before morning those who
held to be a game of skill had won,
at high-lOw;jack, all the money the
"chance" six had, or could borrow,
and the result was unanimous ver-
dict acduitting the. defendant who had
been indicted for playing a game d
chance; to wit, .old sledge. Right in
the teeth and eyes of that decision
proving how a night at old sledge may
contribute to- the enlightenment o.
those who labor under error-is the &C
tion of Federal Judge out in Wy
oming, who discharged a jury, fning
each juror ten dollars for playing
"seven-up" in the jury room wher

The Oil Corner Broken--A Settle
Tnent Agreed Upon.

The great Corner" in oil on Upper
Oil Creek, which has been the topic Of
conversation for some days past, col
lapsed suddenly last night, an agree
ment having been effected between the
"bulls" and clears" Some 100000
barrels of oil had been purchased, and
about $4,000 delivered before the sug-
gestion of an agreement was made
Last night conference was held, and
ABOUT midnighta a basis of settlement
was agreed upon, The remainder Of
the contracts, amounting to one hun
dred and seventy-fve thousand bar
rels, was settled at So 20 per bbl.
The members of the trade can now
congratulate themselves, as oil will be
permitted to "pursue the even tenor of
its way" without interference from out
siders, who are a curse to the whole
trade, and are no better than common
gamblers. The worst of the matter is
that our refners and legitimate dealers,
who have their money invested and
give their whole time and attention to
their business, are blamed with these
pernicious combinations and practices
when usually they are in no wise con-
nected with them, or responsible fol
them. We hope never again to hear
of an coil corner" and trust that all
of our Pittsburgh oil men will contin'
ue to discountenanee and denouneC
them.-Er.

One of our exchanges thus re-
cords an experience which isn't at all
new to any member of the editorial
fraternity; at is strange how close
the people read the papers. We never
say anything that anybody don't like
but what we soon hear of it, and eve
rybody tells US about it. But, if once
in a while We happen to say a good
thing, we never hear that--nobody
seems to notice that. We may pay
some man a hundred compliments and
give him dozen pufs, and he takes it
as a tribute to his greatness and nevor
thinks anything about it-never thinks
it does him good. But if we happen
to say something that this very man
don't like, or something that he imag-
ines reflects on him or his character,
see how quick he flies up and gets mad
about it. All our evil is duly charged
to us, but We never, apparently, gel
any credit for what good we do"

We learn from the Erie RepubH-
can that a most atrocious murder was
perpetrated in that place on Friday
evening last. A desperedo named
Jake Gabel, who has served two or
three terms in the penitentiary, with
out provocation other than fancied in.
suit, deliberately drew his revolver
and shot young man by the name of
John Davit, the ball entering the left
side, near the region Of the heart, frcm
the effects Of which he died the same
evening. Before the murder Gabel
drew his pistol in a saloon threatened
to shoot another young man for gently
demonstrating with him against repe-
tition of jerking his chair from undes
him. After the murder Gabel conceal
ed himself in the switch Of the railroad
where he was captured. From all ac-
counts he is a notoriously desperate
character a dangerous man to be let
loose anywhere, and he should there
fore have the full extent Of the law
metsd out 10 him.

speaking of the local department of a

the following complimentary and
choice language:

thrown in to boot. Like caravan, it
stretches along in columns, with pack.
ages and parcels, spices and gems, bits
of fragrance or cunningly wrought

from the whole world. Besides, the

BURGoYNE ON BAzAINE.-The pop
ular judgment, attributing Marshal
Bazaine's surrender at Metz to t.each-
cry on the part of that officer, is dis
puted by Gen. Burgoyne, of the Brit
ish army, who in letter to the London
Times, insists that the event was inevit-
able. The General contends that Ba-
zaiue could not possibly have broken
through the forces opposed to him
that, while the blockading force grad
ually grew better, his gradually grew
worse; that isolated and far removed
from any support, with an army unpre-
