The on Boom.

The price of oil WAKES greater every
day. 1t advanced one day last week
twelve cents on the barrel, the greatest
rise in one day for the past two years.
With the rise in oil all branches OF
business hereabouts will be stimulated
and we may look for better times. 1t
has reached already as high as $L064
per barrel.
Since writing above we have news
Of Mondays operations at Oil City,
as follows:
OIL CRY, Nov. l7.-Tbis has been
the most exciting day experienced on
the Oil Exchange for many months.
Excitement at times amounted almost
to q panic. Sales show a total Of
1,14O,000 barrels. Fluctuations fol-
lowed each other in rapid succession.
The price opened at $l.0S3, advanced
to t1.2O, and closed at $l.174. Many
fortunes were made and lost.

THE rise in the Monongahela river
allowed the Pittsburgh coal merchants
to get their coal barges started down
the river last Saturday. Some six
million bushels were stated for the
Cincinnati and Louisville, markets.
Speaking of the movement, the Gazette
of Monday says: The movement of
at least a million dollars worth of
property created, as it always does, a
great deal of interest on the part of the
people, outside of the owners. The
latter were of course filled with most
intense interest. From early in the
morning till long after nightfall the
Monongahela wharf and the sidewalk
along Water street, from Grant all the
way to the Point, held hundreds of
motley groups, all eagerly watching
the large tows of barges loaded with
black diamonds, as they fioated past
the city. Many of the owners were
congregated about the Monongahela
house discussing the situation, send
ing and receiving messages to various
points, answering questions pro-
pounded by the curious, and scanning
the tows carefully as they passed.
Beneath the calm exterior generally
worn by the owners of the valuable
cargoes that were departing close OBJ
server could detect evidences of deep
anxiety, and that these men were
anxious is something not to be Won
dered at, for the vast amount Of
property that was fast receding from
view was going-they knew not where
it might be to the bottom of the
Ohio. The coal business, as is well
known, is most hazardous one. The
vast crowd that had no immediate pecu-
MARY interest in the matter, seemed to
be in full sympathy with the owners
to share in their anxiety-and many
times were heard the remarks: II
hope they'll get through safely"
wouldn't it be pity if one Of those
barges would sink. 1t has twelve
thousand bushels Of coal in it, and is
worth nearly two thousand dollars"
"There goes one Of Browns fleets.
Great thunder, what lot of coal they
are sending out Over million and
a half" In this way the people put in
their time throughout the day. The
boat stores were all open, and did a
lively business in the way Of furnish
ing the various towboats with indis-
pensable articles.

Chandlcr's Successor.

DETROIT, Nov I4.-Gov. Crosswell
has appointed Fernando G. Beaman,
Of Adrian, to fill oat the unexpired term
Of Senator Chandler. The appoint
ment was not expected, but it gives
general satisfaction. Mr.. Beaman is a
lawyer Of high standing, and served AZ
Representative in Congress from 1861
TO 1871, and since the latter date has
been Probate Judge Of Lcnawee county.
He was Democrat until l848, when
he Joined the Free Soil party, and
afterwards the Republican, when or
panized ia this State in 1854.

Gen. Grant and q Third Term.

The Mayor Of Chicago, in his recent
speech welcoming Gen Grant to that
city, gave the ex-President a fine op-
portunity to define his position as to
the third term movement being made
In bis favor; but Grant made no re-
sponse that would indicate his feelings,
wishes or intentions as to his name
being used as candidate for the next
Presidency. On the principle, how
ever, that "silcnce gives consent" it is
inferred that he has no objection to
again being considered as candidate.
This, we believe, o majority Of the
Republican party Of the country will
regret to hear, for while they admire
him as man, and duly appreciate
all his great military services in the
late rebellion, yet they feel at the same
time that they have duly and fully
honored him by already having twice
bestowed upon him the highest Office
in their gift. This was as often as
they had bestowed the Presidency
upon Washington, the father Of his
country, and who was first in war,
first in peace, and first In the hearts Of
his countrymen." II was also as often
as they gave it to Jefferson or Jackson.
Gen. Washington refused, under any
conditions, to let bis name be men
toned for third term, and from that
time to this it had never been pro-
posed to violate the example set by
him and which had come to be re-
garded as part Of the unwritten law Of
the land. The good and great Lin
coin, who Of all our Presidents was
second only TO Washington in the af-
fections Of the people, 1t is believed
would have declined any third term
movement in bis favor, had he lived
through the second term to which he
had been elected. We think, then,
that the people Of this country would
generally have been gratilicd If Gen.
Grant had seized the opportunity af-
forded him by the Mayor Of Chicago
to have announced that he was not a
candidate and would not permit the
use Of his name for third term. BY
the Mayors reference to Washington,
and contrasting Gen. Grant to him, he
evidently intended and expected Gen.
Grant to say in answer that be ap-
proved Of the rule set by Washington
and desired to abide by his example.
He may do 80 yet in time, and we be-
lieve be should II he does not, and

is again nominated and elected, pre-
cedent will be set that may plead
against us in the future. However
good he has been, and might be again,
vet in the future bad men may reach
the high place of President and may
use the broken example of Washing
ton to perpetuate themselves in power
And if once broken for third term 1t
NAV be further broken for fourth and
a fifth term, and where, then, would
be the end?

CANCER.

This disease like many others is regarded
as incurable. It is not 80. If it is taken in
time it is as easily cured as wart or corn.
We know very well that it is a fearful disease
and will eat away until it destroys life, that
is if it is neglected. but if it is attended TO
when it first makes its appearance, or soon
after, there is no trouble in eradicating 1t
from the system. Persons will have to be here
during part of the treatment, consequently
there is no use writing to me for information
whether it can be cured without my seeing the
