THUHSDA.Y, DECEMBER J 6, 1884. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE OU.—The oil fever atill continues unabated, and there are no indications when it will end, or at lean be modified a little. There is a great er desire for purchasing oil stocks in the city, during the present time, than ever before, and everything seems to predict that theexcltement now prevailing, will soon increase. The pros pective value of a company is looked upon with as much avidity as that of the safe and sure divl pend paying companies,and consequently apecu* lation is all aglow. As the existing state of things indicates an Increase of prices, holders of stocks are generally loath to part with them unless the greatest Inducements are offtered, such as it would be highly imprudent to refuse. This is probably the only reason why sales are com paratively bo scarce, while the offerings are un usually brisk, n U easy to find plenty of buy ers in the market, if you ask a reasonable price or your stock, but sellers are not so numerous, nor are they everywhere to be found. This would Beem to prediet a very large rise In the price of oil, and which, Booner or later, must neoesßarily take place. For this reason, holders of stocks arc now gloating over the idea of re" Billing Immense sums ol money In the space of a few days, if is not at aU Improbable that a great many will make their fortuneby their pres* ent mode of speculation. A sudden strike Of oil would bring them a large percentage, and may be Increase the price of their stocks In a manner that would double the sum ortginaUy invested. The larger the amount of oil with which to surv ply the market, the greater will be the sum rc aUzed. There Is not the least apprehension that buyers will be found drop of oil that can be supplied, and consequently wells are be ing sunk where there are any indications of oil as last as steam power can sink them When this boring business Is ended, If it ever Ib, the oil regions wilt present a sad appearanoe,’ and will remain a lasting monument of what men will do Id sear oh of gold or greenbaoka. Here In the city where everybody Is on the ?u < vivc «nd where any news relating to theoU business isheard with great avidity, we are beginning to give our whole attention to this great and impor tant branch of commerce. The stock exchanges are dally crowded with busy speculators Wherever you go, that is the one great topic of conversation, and If you desire to give anybody a most desirable bit of Information, talk about an oil well, and you will certainly command hts attention. It l« truethat there are agreat many other things which interest the community, but there is nothing which interests every Individ ual member of this city so muoh as that one great subject—oil. Teachers’ Salaries, — \t a meeting of the Central Board of Education held on Tuesday night, Messrs. W. \V. Dickson and H. J. Uorm ly were appointed as a committee for the Teach ers’ Institute, and presented a resolution from that body asking that the salaries of the teach ers’ of the city he Increased to the following aoale: Principal® of Ward school®.., Teacher® of Grammar De*artnu;ot Teachers of Intermediate Department! Teachers of Primary Department . Principal of High School Prolessor of Mathematic®.... Male Assistant Female Assistant *’ Principal of Colored Schools Assistant of Colored Schools This is very moderate on the part of the teach ers, and we see no cause why they should not be satisfied when their demands appear so reasona ble It would not be at all difficult to increase the revenue so as to meet thie slight advance which is so necessary to the teachers. We feel confident that the above scale will soon be adopted. Christmas Dinner for the Soldiers The ladles of the Subsistence (Jommlttee In con nection with those of the Christian Commis sion, will give a dinner on Christmas day to all the soldiers in the hospitals, camps and barraclts in and around our city. Contributions can be sent to City Hall on Friday and Saturday, l)e- i ——— vmuiua|| cember 23d and 24th, from 8 A. M., to 3 P. M.

Persons are requested to send contributions of loivls or meats on Friday, the 23d ; Contribu tions of other articles on Friday or Saturday A large quantity of provisions has been forwar ded for a Christmas Dinner to the soldiers in Nashville.

Albree, H M At wood,or left at City Hall, on Friday or Satur day, the 23d and 24th. Tbe Late Shoot tag Affair.-The recent shooting affair on St. Clair afreet created quite an excitement In the community, and conse quently the proceedings of the jury empanelled to Inquire Into the causes which led to the death of Thomas Farley, were looked upon with a great deal of interest. The j ury re-assembled yesterday at ten o’clock, at Alderman Taylor’s office, and a large amount of additional evi dence waa received. The testimony of the wit nesses, as a general thing, was by no means fa vorable to Corporal Cooley. The jury gave a verdict that the deceased came to hie death by a pistol shot at the hands of Corporal Cooley, Bnd thatthejury believed that the shooting was wil ful, malicious and unnecessary. Such shooting affairs are now of frequent ocourrence, and we should use some means to put a stop to them. The Weather.— Quite a change took place in the weather on Tuesday night, and yesterday It was comparatively good. The air, however was dull and heavy, and the streetß became so wet that It was decidedly uncomfortable to walk abroad. The ladies, especially, must find it inconvenient to walk any considerable dis tance during the present time when the streets are covered with snow and slush. It la fashion able with them to wea t light gaiters, and they must observe the fashion at the risk of losing thelrhealth. We cannot perceive the utility of this strict observance, but it is certain that It will be found, everywhere. Light gaiters are extremely unhealthy, but if the ladies desire to wear them, notwithstanding this great objec tion, of course we have nothing to say In the matter' The Streets.—The streets again present a miserable appearance, and it would be difficult •to determine whether our citizens would sooner suffer the oold weather of the beginning of the' week or walk thrugh the slush which is now covering all the streets in the city. The snow which had fallen to considerable quantities, is now thawing, and the consequence is that all the streets and sidewalks are covered with wa ter. The gutters, especially, are ailed to over flowing, and it will be some time ere the st jeets present a dry appearance, ir the citizens could only' be prevailed upon to sweep the snow off the sidewalks the city would be Immensely ben efftted. It would then be possible to walk a con siderable distance without getting wet up to the ankles, which, in our opinion, is neither heal thy nor comfortable. Man Shot.—A man named Eobert Orr was shot a few days ago neavSaliua, Vegango county by his father-in-law, Joleph Hetrick. It appear, that the latter had taken some money from Orr, and concealed it, and an altercation ensued be tween the men, when Hetrick shot Orr, the ball penetrating the abdomen and inflictlnga mortal wound. Notwithstanding this fact, Orr sprang upon Hetrick, knocked him down, and would probably have killed him, were It not that the bystanders interfered. Hetrick afterwards con veyed.the wounded man to where the money had been concealed, and handed It over to him. Orr died on Saturday from the effects of his wound.
