The practice so freely indulged in by some of our people, of beating gongs, old tin pans and cans, ringing cow-bells and the like on marriage occasions is becoming a nuisance rather than an amusement. If there is really anything in it' other than the drink it is supposed to elicit from the groom, and which can be had at any bar for two bits, it is certainly difficult to see in what ii consists

FROM THE sTATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
ALVEY OIL Market.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch, S0th.
The oil fever ragged terribly in the
city yesterday, and the "bulls" and
bears" who have their stamping ground
on Duquesne Way had, throughout bus-
ness hours at least, lively time of it.
That oil has reached price now
which was unlocked for by either
producers or speculators is a fact which
cannot be controverted; but that it is
not q fictitious price-the result, in n
measure, o: n corner in the market
remains 10 be seen. 1t would be very
good thing for producers if the price
could be kept up to msrgiR sufficient
at lesst TO allow them fair profit on
their investments; but can this result
be achieved where high figures are
only sttainable through combinations
among capitalists and speculators who
have no sympathy with producers be-
yond what is dictated by their own In
terests or avarice or both? We fear not
and shall therefore watch with more than
ordinary interest for the denouement OF
the present "bulr' movement IN the oil
market.

IREHE are prevalent just now two
parallel states of feeling that may have
come relation to each other. One Is a
oonsciousness IN the popular mind,
amounilng to belief, that change in
the administration of National affairs is
Hear, and that Gov. TILDEN is to lead
tue country up to q plane of renewed
Prosperity. The other is an increased
hloysncy and Eopefulness in regard to
better business prospects. 1t i not
strange that the second should follow the
Inst. Business will not speedily
ia,t into its old turbid
Channels, perhaps, and it is not desirable
That i should. What we want is an era
"i brisk, but legitimate transactions, not
return Of speculation, AVID that this era
Is shout to be inaugurated We have many
encouraging signs. Failures have be-
come fewer, exports are increasing, the
markets are bare and manufacturers are
'!aTlIng their works on all sides to meet
deficiencies, crops are abundant, and
more than all there is this mys-
'rFlous influence of confidence and
H'p@.a.ness creeping back by slow but
sure degrees to impart life and activity to
all these isvoring elements. This last
Year We exported nearly three times as
much cotton cloth rs in 1875, and in
some other commodities there was simi-
Ar advance. The conditions are such
That enterprise will begin to reap re-
ward again, and let the hope that is Sc
well grounded ..fructiiy in the election OF
"o'erhor TlLDES and powerful i'm
Pe'us will be given TO the incoming wave
