to state that a Conf in PENNSYLVANIA
has declared that a combination OF
dealers in oil, to purchase 80, coo bar

arrested for the oiiense was refused.

Of a clique or ring. then III power. who

Now that their power is broken, we
hope for better things. The hardships
arising from the present law cannot,
perhaps, be better illustrated than by
the fact that at a tax sale which took
place a few DAYS since, 4 quartz mil
was sold for SlG9.

that second blackened and mutilated
body was which was recovered from
the smouldering embers of Mrs. Sher-

lodged there aud has not since been
seen or heard of. The Enterprise of
this morning states that il Is pretty
generally considered to be that OF
Charles smith, lately pardoned odt Of
