The qnestion Ia often asked. how much
bnss Petroleum Centra COZ tributsd in ths
way of business to the prosperity OF Titus
vile; and what amount does she now con-
tribute to the income of two newspapers
published tbere--ons The Herald and the
other the Courier.
II might bs dif1oult to give an exact
answer, but business men here know well
that tbs trade that hes gone from this point
to Titusville 10 simply immense, aud that
the prosperity Of that place 10 10 q large
degree owing to it Our people have been
large customers Of the aefslcy aud liberal
patrons u the Courier.
Scarce week elspses tbst some agent Of
these concerns are not down bere drumming

They receive % fair aud decent treatment

Gov. Campbell. Of wyoming, ON
Woman Suffrage.

The telegraph has mentioned that
Gov. J. 4. Campbell, OF Wyoming, in
his message TO the Legislature, on the
9Th inst, had endorsed the favorable
working OF womaL suffrage in that
territory. The Governors language is
IS follows:
Women have voted 10 the territory,
served on jurIes and held Office. Ii is
simple justice 10 say that the women,
entering tor the first time in the his
tory of the country upon these new and
untried duties, have conducted them
selves in every respect with az much
tact, sound judgment and good sense
as men. While it would be claiming
more than the facts justify to say that
this experiment, in limited field, has
demonstrated beyond doubt the per.
feet fitness OF woman at all times and
under al circumstances for taking a
part in the government, it furnishes at
least reasonable presumrtive evidence
in her favor, and she has a right TO
claim, that 20 long az none bat good
results are made manifest, the law
should remain uDrepealed.
The telegraph reports that bill has
been introduced into the legislature 70
take away from women the coveted
privilege.

Catholic Mission from England.

A cable dispatch announces the sail
ing from England on Saturday OF the
first Roman Catholic mission ever dis
patched from England to America, con-
sisting of four priests, whose duty 1t Will
be to labor exclusively among the COL
ored people Of the United States. This
is evidently the same mission referred
to in the Sun OF Friday last, which is
to have a permanent establishment near
Bryantown, Charles county, MARYLAND
The priests, it is said, are Of the St. Jo-
seph' Society. The mission was inaugu'
rated in England, aud Archbishop
Spalding has donated sixty acres OF land
upon which it is located, with an am
pie building, formerly used as an acade-
nv in aid of the work. The estab'
Iisbment of schools for colored children
Of practicable ocalities will be among
the first duties Of the mission, which
com prehend the general mental and
spiritual improvement Of the coioreo
race. Curiously enough, according 70
the dispatch, the mission has been es-
tablished by the Catholic Church IN
Englapd because, in the language OF
Archbishop Manning, England had I'm.
posed slavery upon America, and II was
f;ttipe that Englishmen should be the
6rst TO move for the amelioration ol
theemancipated people,-BaltimOre S'"'

The Great StOrm-AdventurcS OF n
Railway Train.

On the Eastern massachusetts, road
the sea made a clean breach over the
track in many places, and badly dam
aged the road-bed and other embank-
ments. No trains We're running over
the Saugus Branch, as the bed Of the
road is so badly washed that in many
places the tracks sank down two or
three feet At three o'clock Tuesday
afternoon the water in the long tunnel
at Salem was about three feet deep, and
threatened to stop all travel at this
point. As the train from Lockport,
which leaves that town at one o'clock,
approached the entrance to the tunnel,
the engineer noticed the great body Of
water through which he would have to,
pass in order to reach the Salem depot,
and he very much doubted his ability to
force lis engine and train through, but
he determined to make the attempt, and
firing up, he crowded on steam and
dashed through the tunnel. In q mo-
ment the putting engine darted into
the body OF water, and then the
scene is described as one beautiful in
the extreme The engine, putting
away, labored through the flood, throw
ing the water in huge pillows, on each
side Of the train, and filling the tunnel
with immense clouds Of steam. When
in about the middle of its passage
through the tunnel the water reached
up TO the fire in the furnace, and for a
few moments nothing could be heard
but the kissing sound. The water
gained the mastery, however, and the
fire was speedily extinguished. The
train now began TO labor along at quite
a slow rate, and the water entering the
cars frightened the passengers, especl-
ally the female portion, who expected
momentarily to be consigned to watery
grave, and they added their cries 10 the
general chorus. There was no danger
whatever, and the train forced its way
through the remainder OF the flood,
although in a very feeble man ner, and
the steam giving out, the train stopped
in abont two feet Of water at the Salem
end Of the tunnel. An extra engine
was run down and drew the cars to the
depot, and the passengers arrived IN
Boston at about four o clock.
