CITY THAT GREW FAST AND DIED QUICKLY.

A CITY THAT GREW FAST AND DIED QUICKLY.
A correspondent of Boston paper says;
ssIt is not only individuals who have suddenly
increased in prosperity and as suddenly gone
down into nothingness !; there are cities OF
which the same can be said Such one is Pit
hole CITY, Pa Within one month from the
completion of the first house, this city had tel
egraph office and hotel, costing the owners S10,-
000 In one month more there was daily pa
per established, and in the next a theatre, in
another month another theatre, and then an
academy of music. In six months there were
seventy-four hotels and boarding houses in the
seventh month the city had reached its highest
prosperity. 1t then had about Is, 900 people, ella
borate water works, city hall and an expensive
city government. srhen occurred the completion
of labor saving enterprise, the so-called Miller
Farm Pipe line, by which the petroleum was
sent of independent Of the laboring population.
At once 4, 900 persons were thrown out of employ
ment, while 900 houses became useless. This
was the death-blow to Pithole. At once the ho-
tells, the theatres and the telegraph office were
closed, and the daily paper gave up its ghost,
whilst almost every one packed up his trunk and
moved out. Only nine families remain out of a
population Of Is 900 souls while the railroad from
PIthole and Oleopolis runs only one train day,
consisting of locomotive ard single car,
which usually is empty but the company is
obliged to keep running, other wise the charter
for the road would be lost. They still hope
against hope for better times for that unfortu-
nate city which in only seven months, was born,
full grown, got sick and died. Undoubtedly this
is a case unparalleled in history, modern or an
cient Neither Egypt nor Greece can give ex-
amples of such rapid changes

Beecher-Tilton Comments of the
Press.

From the y. Y. Times, July 22.l
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher is entitled to pre-
cisely the same suspension Of public Judgment
which would be accorded TO any accused person
undergoing trial on grave charge. His trial
has been conducted in secret, and the fact that
the case for the prosecution has been made pub
hc unqualified By any evidence Of 3 rebuitng
character, and gnshakeu by any attempt a. iu-
dlcisl sitting or cross-exanination. is only one
reason the more why the verdict Of the judges
IN the case should not be anticipated bY any
sweeping condemnation Of the person accused
Many Of Mr.. IIton's statements are Of too loose
and general a character to stand the scrutiny Of
a court Of law-and MT. Beecher Il clearly en-
titled 20 have his case tested by the legal rules
Of evidence. But several Of them are explicit
enough TO demand the most conclusive kind Of
disproof.
From the Y. !. Tribune. July %.
The commanding personality Of Mr.. Beecher
so dwarfs every other figure in this melancholy
drama that it is hardly worth while TO waste time
IN dwelling upon the peculiArties Of Mr.. I'll
tons extraordinary statement. The feverish
and uuwhole=ome atmosphere Of emotion in
which the lesser personages live and move rem
ders their written and their oral assertions equal
ly doubtful and untrustworthy. Upon any the.
ory Of the matter it is inexpressibly mournful 70
see amid what poisonous cloud Of mean pas
sions, temptations, jealousies, and even devo-
tons as injurious as hatreds, this great orator
and teacher habitually walked. In a few DAYS
We shall learn what answer he has TO make 10
these grave accusations. II he can disprove
them. his position will be stronger than ever fol
this trlsl and triumph. If he fails it is not toe
much 70 say that all Chrstendom will deplOre a
loss hardly to be measured by words, and III our
own country his lapse will be regarded as we'll
nigh iTeparable disaster.
