TOWNSHIP ELECTION.
The township election passed off very
quietly. In the Petroleum Centre District
the whole number of votes cast was 325. Se
far as this district is concerned the follow
ticket is elected, and we presume the re
turns from Plumur and Rynd Farm will not
change the result, but add to the majority
of some of the candidates. We give the
'Ivote ol'each opposite bis name:

The Discovery and I re of Petroleum.
A correspondent of tbe Cleveland Herald,
writing from Titusville gives tbe following
reference t tbe first discovery and use of
petroleum: "At tbe question of ptiorlty
concerning tbe first neticeble development
of petroleum has been much discussed, It is
proper to say that the coveted honor Is due
to Samuel M. Kier of Pittsburgh, who, in
1849, discovered oil comity up from bis
tall wells at Tarentum, on the Allegheny
river. After ascertaining the value ol tho
oil for Illuminating purposes, and devising
a process, Mr. Kier turned bis discovery to
practical account, by thus using all too oil
he could obtain iroai his own and other salt
works for five years, from 1850 to 1855.
Before' commencing operation on Oil Creek,
Cel. Drake went to Mr. Kier's wells on the
Allegheny, examined them, and hired a
blacksmith wbo was then working for Mr.
Kier to go and bore for him on the Kings
land farm. Col. Drake 'struck oil,' at
about seventy feet, at before stated, from
wbieh dated the great oil excitement' of the
period. Mr. Kier bought tbe first oil that
came trom tbe Drake well, and rellned it at
bis refinery. From these facts it would aii
pear that to a Pittsburgber is due tbe his
torical distinction of having first produced
petroleum frees borings, and having reliaed,
and used reined petroleum as an Illumina
tor, for from four to five years before tho
first well was struck nn Oil Creek.'
California Women.
California hss some queer feminine.
Here is one that figures in a recent number
of tbe Saa Francisco Bulletin. This morn
ing a boy, only nine years eld, was brought
before Judge Provlnes for examination for
the Industrial School. He was accused of
stealing ten dollars from a lady to whom hit
mother had sent him on tome errand. He
plead guilty. The Judge seemed at first in
clined to let tbe mother take him home be
wat such a young and delicate looking boy.
She would not promise positively to guard
tbe little fellow, and tbe Court was obliged
to order him to tbo Industrial School. When
he beard his doom prooounced, the father
less boy wept bitterly, and looked first at
the Court and then at bis mother; but she,
without manifesting any pity or sympathy
for him, put her fuce down close to bis and
withdrew it without kissing him, only mut
tering, "Cry away, Eddie, ah, ah, you ean't
go borne with me any more," and left tbe
court room. The woman who made this ex
hibition of heartlesnest is tho owner of a
block ol laud and swarms of buildings on
one of tbe principal streets in tbe city.
VntaiKu Wakixii Up. Professor Maury
is urging a national appropriation to con
struct a complete canal from Norfolk to tbo
Ohio, and to build a railroad from Norfolk
to the West and Southwest. lie claims that
Norfolk Is nearer to San Francisco than
New York; that western corn can be shipped
nt Hampton Roadt at half tbe cost needed
for New York, so that western farmers may
tare from four to eight dollars a ton on all
produce for sale, and on all they take in
exchange, when these routes are complnted,
The cession of western lands to tho nation
ly Virginia is urged at a reason wby tbe
general government should interfere, in the
matter. Virginia hat 1,371 miles of rail
and 27il of canal, that cost $60,000,000.
The Chesepeake and Ohio Roilroad, and
the James river and Kanawha Canal, if ex
tended will connect Chesepeake bay with
16,000 miles of navigable water in the Mis
sissippi valley and 21,000 miles of rail. Of
toe canal, 198 miles are finished, leaving
200 to he finished, at a cost of 10,000,000.
Negotiations are on foot to secure this sum.
Contrasting Norfolk with New York as a
great port of Atlantic cuuimerce, Professor
Maury finds a softer clime, Letter lumber
and richer natural hack country. New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore have
transcended Norfolk because tb'j built
railroads and canals to tho west.
