Germany and Russia.

1t is impossible for the official
papers Of Germany and Russia to
change the conviction Of the people
that trouble is brewing between them.
The cause Of it is believed to be the
jealousy and rivalry Of their respective
ChanceIlors. Bismarck has for years
used tho press az an agent in his work,
and no one doubts that the fierce az
tacks which German editors have
been making upon Russia and Gort-
schakoff were inspired by their Chan
cellor. An effort was made a week or
two ago to throw the blame Of this on
the Russian Minister of War, but it
failed The war between the editors
goes on unabatcd, and it signifies o
danger which Germany at least is de-
termincd to be prepared for. Ten
thousand men are at present engaged
in strengthening the fortress Of Thorn,
which is called the Strau5burg Of the
German eastern border. Thorn is a
town Of aboHt 1000 inhabitants,
situated on the right bank Of tho
Vstula 1t is doubly famous as the
birthplace Of Copernicus and the seat
Of gingerbread manufactures. 1t was
founded in 1890 by the Tentonic
knights, and having military origin
it has had military career.

Death OF Judge Woodward.

Warren J. Woodward, one Of the
Judges Of the Supreme Court Of this
State, died on the 23rd Of September,
at the age Of SO years. He was dis
tinguisbed as Judge Of ability and q
man Of great moral purity Of character.
His death creates vacancy that will
be filed by appointment Of the Cover
nor until January !, 1881, an election
to I'll bis place not being held, under
the law, until next year. Being from
the eastern part Of the State it is gen.
orally thought his successor will be
taken from the same section. How
ever, the names Of many gentlemen
throughout the State will doubtless be
presented for the appointment. Our
Bar here have signed petition in
favor Of and warmly urging Hon.
John NJ. Thompson, Of this place
Tho Governor could appoint no ADLER
lawyer and II the appointment should
be made from the west the selection Of
Mr.. Thompson would be well received
by the profession here.
T- Since writing the above we
learn that the Hon. Henry Green, Of
Easton, Northampton county, has been
appointed.

DEATHS.

SUANNON--Sept. II, 1870, at her home
near Prospect, ths county, Rachel Shannon,
aged 81 years, oPoptbs and Is days.
FALLER-Sept. %, 1879. Mt her residence
in this place, Mira. Cntharne Faller, in the
77th year Of her age.
Although Mrs Fallcr had been failing rap
idly for some months past, yet her death was
rather sudden No woman in this community
was better known or more highly esteemed.
Her life had heou one Of usefulness and con
slant labor. Born in Germany, she came to
this town with her husband, the late Anthony
Fallcr Esq, about the year 1880, aud first
lived with him in u house that stood at or near
to where Mr. Colberps hat store now s. Shortly
afterwards Mr.. Faller purchased the property
Mt the south end Of town, where Mrs. i. died,
then all woods, and cleared out the same Mrs.
Fnller, IL is said, working by day ut their shop
in town, bakery, a~d Ut night picking brush
or helping 10 clear out their land. They are
mid 10 have been the first German family that
settled in this place, aud she consequently the
first woman from Germany who came among
IA. All her life wns devoted 10 labor and use
fulncss, and her death may be said to be the
result Of worn out system. We have thought
these few words were due to the memory Of
woman who in her life performed NO many acts
Of charity, kindness and usefulness.

hold and helped to run prices up. There
are few, if any, purely speculative
transactions at this point. The present
prices are Indicative of those of the
coming season, which begins on the
lst of November. Prices will not rule
so low as last season The stock will
be bought up quickly at advancing
prices, till the close. The low prices
of the past have sent this product to
all quarters of the globe, and an in
creasing demand will be the result each
season until checked by too high prices.
Some persons think the advance only
temporary, but the sales for future de-
livery, new crop, have advanced fully
as much as the old stock
CRUDE OIL.
This product has touched eightv-one
and quarter cents per barrel, while a
few DAYS ago it was selling at sixty
five cents One of the best informed
men in the trade-a gentleman who
reasons closely from cause to effect
informs us that he cannot see how any
advance can be maintained at present,
in the face of the enormous over-pro-
duction. Last month the production
increased 5000 barrels a day. The
present daily product is now little
over 60, 900 barrels. While shipments
abroad have been in excess of any pre-
vious year, there is no evidence that
the consumption has increased to that
extent. The supposition is, that the
oil is bought and held because it Is
cheap. The enormous stock of 1900
900 barrels of crude above ground,
must act asa barrier against any spec
ulatve movement, and prevent any
permanent advance at present. 1t is
probable that in two months the for
eign exports will diminish very greatly
and then there will come a time of
dulness. All the indications point to
a decline after the first Of November.
During October little or no oil is sold
for delivery beyond that month, and it
is not usual to have sales Of very large
extent for delivery after the first of
November. On the whole, then, there
seems to be no basis for this "spurt"
in oil-no reason in it. Oil is quite
different from iron in this essential
particular Iron is scarce, while oil is
overabundant. True, all these con-
lectures may be falsilied by the logic of
events, but this is the way it looks at
present. The average consumption
for the year will not exceed 10000
barrels per day of crude, while the pro-
duction is 60, 900 barrels. There is
probability Of very considerable in
crease in production this month, Some
persons think there Is flaming off in
the old portions of the Bradford region,
and that there is well defined limit to
the producing territory; but this has
not been demonstrated by any means.
Practically there is no limit to the pro-
duct as yet There has never been a
region which produced az much oil in
the same time, as the Bradford dis
trict. There is very little done now in
Butler, Clarion and Venango-15, 900
barrels per day being the yield. The
Mexican county region produces As, 900
barrels day.

Advance in Real Estate.

The advance in prices generally, the
balance Of foreign trade still continuing
in favor Of our country, and the gen.
eral prosperity that seems to be near
at hand, has caused an advance also
in real estate. We hear Of several
farms being bought in this county re-
Gently, and inquiries made as to the
purchase Of still others. Many want
ing farms, and who hesitatcd as to
buying, thinking prices would be still
lower, are now securing farms and real
estate, in anticipation Of a still further
advance in prices. For the past three
or four years land was low in this
county and many good farms were
sold at sacrifice, but from present ap-
pcaranccs the bottom has been reached
and a reaction for better prices com
mcnced. There are many in this county
still wanting farms, or who desire to
invest their money in real estate, who
will, Of course, now buy or invest.
There is no safer investment, lands
being in fact about the only absolutely
safe security for the putting Of money
into.

A Bad Showing.


TIE BUTLER BANK STOCKHOLDERS TO
BE ASSESSED 100 PER CENT.-DEPos-
IToRS WILL GET 40 PER CENT.-BAD
SHOWING FOR THE DIRECTORS.
Especial to Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette
WASHINGTON, Sept. %, 1879.
The information received at the Of
flee of the Comptroller of the Currency,
from the Receiver of the First National
Bank of Butler is of q character cal
culated to startle the depositors and
stockholders in that bankrupt institu-
tion The Comptroller prefers not to
have the official report made public,
but it is known that the affairs of the
bank, on examination, prove to be in
such state that an assessment of one
hundred per cent. will have to be
made Even this assessment, it APP
pears, will not realize enough, to-
gether with what little can be obtained
from the assets of the bank, to pay the
creditors of the bank in full, or nearly
that amount The stock held by par
ties who will be able to pay their as
sessments amounts to about $24, 900.
The balance of the stock is held by
those who have used the assets of the
bank for their own private purposes
and succeeded in swamping it, These
men are either bankrupt or have so
shaped their circumstances with re-
ference to the funeral that they are
not among the mourners. The result
will be that the total amount that can
be collected for the benefit of deposi-
tors will not very much exceed forty
cents on the dollar, if it reaches that
amount. There Is no doubt that GRIM
inal proceedings against the officers of
the bank will be commenced as soon
as Attorney General Devens returns
to Washington, as Comptroller Knox
is determined the innocent stockhold-
ers and depositOrs of National banks
shall he protected as far as it is in his
power to secure it. A complete re-
port Of all the workings of the bank
since 1873 has been ordered to be
made by the Comptroller, and the Re-
ceiver will have his report ready by
the 10th of October Judging from
what the Receiver reports up to this
time the officers Of tho hank cannot
possibly escape criminal prosecution,
unless they individually make the
losses good before suits are COM
menced.

Two Thousand Deaths From Scar
let FeVer.

Two thousand deaths flom scarlet
fever last year in New York, is what
Prof Chandler lately reports--equal
to the total mortality from yellow fever
in the whole Union last year. This is
not a pleasant statement TO reflect upon.
Our public schools must be held re-
sponsiblc for large share Of the prop
aaation of this dreadful malady. 1t is
Il significant fact that as soon as the
public schools are closed for the sum.
mer vacation the mortality from scarlet
fever diminishcs. II continues at a
low rate through the summer, but with
the rcopening Of the schools the death
rate rises again, and soon assumes a
high average. The prudent course
pursued by the Brooklyn Health Board
in preventing convalescent children
from attending schools until they have
fully recovered, and Of forbidding
public funerals in all cases Of con
tagious diseases, has been productive
Of excellent results. The sources Of
scarlet fever are less understood than
they should be, and it seems an impu-
tation upon tho intelligence Of both
our sanitarians and physicians that
means for its better prevention have
not been deviscd.-Piumber 0nd I'm

Around tho World.

Skctch of General Grants Trip
Around tho World.
General Grant left Philadelphia on
the 18th of May, 1877. He was met
near Liverpool by officials representing
the United States and was received
with considerable ceremony by the
authorities Of that city. He went from
there to London, where he gave a re-
ccption at the house Of the American
Minister, which was attended by many
of the royal family. On the way
thithcr h. was received at Manchester,
and the railway stations were deco
rated with flowers and flags. He was
in Londen five weeks and a succession
Of festivities followed. The clubs Of
London rendered him receptions and
oonoerta, aud balls were given In his
honor. The University Of Oxford con

respect ut both places. He attended q
grand dinner at Frankfort, and going
to Switzerland, laid the foundation
stone Of an American Episcopal

asm. At Ncw-Castlc-on-Tync $4,000
workmpH appeared in the procession.
He visited the birthplace Of Shakespeare,
Stratford-on-Avon, ana left for Paris
in the latter part of October. His re-
cepton in Paris, though managed with
caution by the authorities, owing to in
tense political excitement at the French
Capital, was not without features OF re-
spect to the General. There was a
round Of feastipg, and after he had eg,
hausted tho attractions Of tho Capital
he left on the United States war ship
Vandalia, touching first ut Genoa and
then visited Vesuyius and Pompei.
