' A DEMOCRATIC LIOTIT GONE OUT.— 1
A few - days ago, S. - Gaoss Fay, a
'prominent' Philadelphial. Deniocratie .
politician, was discovered 4; 'have
swindled the Darby, and Spruce and

which he was the President, out of
probably two hundred thoueand

Stocks of these,companies. FRY * - as
a highflying, " brown stone-fronter,"
" Reform " club Democrat, who has
been greatly horrified at the " cnr
ruptions " of the " radidcal " GRANT
party. His honest bowels were fre
quently stirred at the thieves who
were sapping the life-blood of the re
public, and to stop it, he was twice a
candidate on the Democratic ticket
for City Treasurer, , the belter to tar
ry:out "reform." The reform organs
treat their fallen brother gingerly,
and for once are deprived of the
pleasure of scourging some radical
rascal !
Godeys La( Book to* June has
a lengthy illustrated artier on,,Atlan
tic City -that arouses one's desire.to
at least visit that charming summer
resort for. a few days. ; .Atlantic is
liaproving very fast, and is now one
of the pleasantest places in every re
spect, on the Atlantic mast, ,y A great
deal of money has been Spent to add
to its natural attractions . . Grand
hotels, which accomm date
at comparatively moderate charges;
beaUtiftit cottages; some !of which (tan
be leased at fair price's; the best class
of boarding houses,; which offer a
quiet hothe for those wishing quiet;
elegant driveS, delightful bathing,
all beckon those wishing aI sea side
recireation, to Atlantie City. The

Persons from this section can leave

AN elaborate crop report is pub-
lished, carefully compiled from state
ments by competent parties, at 150
points in Ohio, Indiana, • Illinois,
Missouri and • lowa. These state
ments indicate that there has been
from one
,quarter to one : third of the
wheat crop winter-killed, but that this
has been nearly offset by the increas
ed iiumber of acres sowed and the
quantity or Spring wheat put in will,
if everything• is favorable, henceforth
bring the whole, • production up to
that of an average crop; About one
quarter of , last year's crop . still re
mains in the farmers hands. No con
siderable quantity of Wheat groulid
is reported as having been plowed up.
The amount of corn being put in this
year greatly exceeds that of last:year.
THE DemocratlC'and Independent
press are 'making a great ado over ,
the corruption now being disclosed
in high places. The fact that many
bad men have found their way into
responsible political positions is a
source of deep regret, but it is also
creditable to the Administration that
neither friend or foe is spared, but
that dishonest officials are ferreted
out and punished " without respect
•
to person." While men in official
position are " found wanting " in
strict integrity, it. is also deplorable
to Witness the wide-spread peeula
tions and defalcations among those
who are not office-holderi. - All the
odium should not be heaped upon
one class. '
WE ADVISE oar Democratic friends
to incur no obligations on the strength
of a Democratic victory in 1876.
The recent elections throughout the
country indicate that a little' '01(1 7
fashioned vitality is still left iii ,the
Republican party, and if we are not
mistaken the next Presidential con
test will. see the Bourbon army shat.:
tered as badlY as it was in 1872. We
don't object to Democratic glorifies
tion,./Mt we do object , to.this posses
sion of an - office two years. before it
is Vacant. - When the people are
ready to rent the White House they
must have the privilege of picking
their _tenant. -
BUT one standard of qualification
was prescribed for the gubernatorial
nominee of- the Democratic party in

This virtually ends the case AS far as the

pears one Of the queerest mks on record.
'lle priest, it will be remembered, left
the city very' suddenly, leaving behind a
note addressed to Bishop Wood, stating
that his disbelief in the infallibility of the
Pope led hini to step down and out of the
Romish Church ; the following day he
was married Ito the prett - organist of his
church; by a! Protestant minister over in
Jersey City ;! two days thereafter he start

was apprehended•just! aA lie and Mrs. G.
were stepping aboard Of 4 steamer at Bal
timore, bound for &Men, having taken
passage uml ' r an assumed name.
When ; hewas brought back lie was
I
thrown into jail, and soon came before
the court of a habeas Corpus. At that
hearing it really did looklas though he had
got away with about !sl6o,ooo—the am't
alleged by Bishop Wrsid to have been
stolen. - At his trial, las week, his books
were examined by anleipert—the Secre
tary of BishOp IN ood T vi l lio not only failed
to substantiate the charge of embezzle
ment, but b . y his sworn exhibit brought
the church in debt to Gerdemann to the
amount of $lO,OllO. I confess my inability
to comprehend the case, and I do not
wonder:at the darkey standing out three
days for conviction. Thii only clear thing
to my mint! is, the I church has lost a
priest, a goal 'many, pkople of his flock
their greenbacks, and Maggie 'Whittig,
the organist,' secured a husband.
Before taking farew4ll of the Genie

for insulting language and misbehavior
as attorneriluring the trial.

' The early histtny of petroleum ii
curlotis: Known and employed for
burning from remote antiquity in.the
Old World, no prOcess for its purifi
cation had been devised, and it Was
therefore at best lint an indiftlerent
and cheaper substitute for animal and
vegetable oils. The' first attempts to
refine it for commercial purposes are
believed to have been made by Young,
of Glasgow, in 1847, on petroleum
got from! '‘Derbyshire, in England,
from vhich 4 prepared a lubricating
od, and it was the exaustion of this
ifipply which led. him to imprOve the
methods for the - extraction of oils
from coal. ; !
. Meanwhile, in 'the United States,
the existence of sources of mineral
oil' had been known to the Indians of
New York and Pennsylvania, who
priied, it •as ; a medicine, for which
purpose it - became familiar to the
! ,early European colonists under the
mime •of Seneca-oil. It appears to
have been an object of research to
the aborigines net( ago, since in the
od voions of Western Pennsylvania
are. - found- pits or wells apparently
dug for the purpose of collecting the
oil, carefully timbered, and affording
from the growth ,'of the forest upon
the site. evidences',of an antiquity of
front ao to 'lOOO years. As early as .
1816, in' boreing 'for brine on. the
Mnskinguni Rivei, in Ohio,
from a
depth of 400 feet were obtained large
qtiantities of 'mineral oil, which was
'a 'source ! of great annoyance to the
salt-makers. At this time attempts
were made to use the oil for illumina
[ tion, but froin the want of proper
I latnps, it was not found to be adapted
i
to; the purpose. In 1854 the success
