TIE EXPULSION OF TIE JEsUIrs.-The
Metropolitan Record doubtless expresses
the Catholic sentiment hero with refer.
ence to the expulsion Of the Jcsuits from
Germany, when it says: The exiled
Jesuits will be scattered over Europe
and America. Many OF them are coming
to this country, intending, it is said, to
found, an institution out West or on the
shores Of the Pacific. The decree will
not materially hurt the Order; 1t will de-
priye them oil some valuable property for
Q time, but that will be more than coun.
terbalanced by the forced expansion and
spread Of the Institute. In this way Bis.
marck may be made an instrument for
good. And as the effort OF this expulsion
In all probability will be to send the Cath.
olic youth Of Germany to other lands for
instruction, Bismarck's policy may lay
the foundation oi the prosperity Of many
an educational establishment In the old
world and the new. "'"-

AT any early day the bar OF Buffalo was
made up Of every variety OF legal ability,
as well US an abundance ofmen OF wit and
humor. Judge Stryker, who was on the
Common Pleas bench, was an accomplish
ed jurist, with high sense Of the dignity
OF his position. Old Mr.. Root, a reIative
OF the wOll.known Erastus Root, practiced
occasionally in the court. He was man
OF genius and a good lawyer, but occa-
sionally he got little elevated in the
practice Of his profession, as well as when
engaged in other pursuits. One day hewas
specially oblivious of the proprieties, and
kept constantly interruptng the Judge
with irrelevant remarks.
"Sit down, Mr.. Root" said the Judge,
with q frown oijudicial severity.
Down he sat, but popped up again i'm
mediately. He was again ordered To take
his seat. This was repeated two or three
times, when the judge sternly exclaimed:
,"Sit down, Mr.. Root, and stay there.

the offender, "inssmuch as 1t Is the first

curiously traced back a hundred and
twenty-five years. The Springs are nam,

southeast corner OF which they are situat.

and the river received the name by the
curious circumstances which ! will now

Tho Lewis family, among others, were
the original patentees Of this portion ofth

was exploring the country, and, while
making q survey for the grantees, entan-
gled himself In q bunch Of green briers on
the river. and declared he would ever call
the river "Greenbrier river" as he had u
right to do Ia surveying and defining the
lines Of . little "pAtch" of one hundred
thousand acres OF which he was one Of
the owners.
The spring was known to the Indians
as Medicine Water,t, As early as l772
q woman was brought here on litter
forty miles. A tree was felled and a
trough dug into 1t, filled with the water
and then heated by putting hot stones in
IT, In this she was soaked or bathed,
while, at stated intervals, the patient
drank from the water fresh from the
spring, which proved to her a spring Of
new life, for in few weeks she went her
way rejoicing In new health, and fully
cured of disease which had baftled med.

The Movement TO suspend Oil Pro.
dnctiOn.

,TITUsv1LLE, Pa, September 3O.-The
OIL regions are again at fever heat,
Everywhere the intensest feelings pro.
vail over the movement TO again suspend
production. Dispatches ffon the dis.
tricts generally show that the movement
Is universal. There are probably NOT
over fifty wells producing tonight.
From some localities 1t Is reported that
violence had been resorted to in carving
out the measure, well rigs burned and
engines destroyed with sledge hammers,
and oil tanks tapped. Some are still
strongly holding out against It, but il
Is thought they will yield and violence
will be avoided. The effect OF this move.
ment is salready apparent in an advanced
and moro active market.
PITTSBURGH, September 3O.-A move
ment has recently been inaugurated in the
oil producing regions to stop pumping the
wells until rise in the price Of oil would
justify It's production, and it has met with
very general success.
A special TO the Commercial from St.
Petersburg announces that all the pump.
ing wells in that district were stopped on
the 25th inst, and since the commence
ment Of this movement oil has advanced
one dollar per barrel.
Alta meeting Of oil producers held at
Franklin to night, It was unanimously re.
solved to shut down on oil pumping wells
for thirty days, commencing on Oct. 1st.
AspeciRl to the Commercial from Petro.
leum Centre states that a gong OF $50 men
visited number Of wells In that district
which were still in operation, and closed
them by force. Considerable excitement
has prevailed during the day and fears
were entertained that there would be
trouble tonight. 1t is thought that all
will be quiet in a few days. Steps have
been taken to prevent further force work
in that locality.
