Most unfortunately, the business prosper
ity of the place is dependent iidou a contln
uance of rioting, lust and drunkenness, and
nothing but the strong arm of the lav, by
ct-viai legislation, can reueem tins place,
wuiuu laeven now a sccona souora.
The above is an extract Com a lettor writ
ten by the Petrcleum Centre correspondent
of the Ttttisville Herald, which appeared
in that paper this morning. Wo look upon
the assertion as a gross imposition upon our
business men, and the reflection that they
are dependent upon "rioting lust and
drunkenness," Is simply unjust. "Bernum'i
welt knows that every prominent business
man here would rejoice to see whatever
dens and ranches there are here totally
wiped out, and believe they would be bene
fitted by It. It is surprising to us that the
Herald will lend itself to malign our busi
ness men, as that paper is more or less in
debted to them for life In its early pilgrim
age. Thoso dens .receive their principal
support from non-residents who sme in
from the bills and from towns along the
creek, Titiisville coming in for a liberal
contribution.
Thk Mcrder Case. The excitement on
Saturday evoning and Sabbath has subsid
ed, and the murder of David Tale is a
thing of the past. Our review of (he cir
cumstances of the murdor yesterday, ere
this has been read by thousands, and of
course nearly every person has formed an
opinion one way or another. The stnte
'nient made by us we believe to be nearly
correct, at least we have beard nothing to
tbo contrary, with one or two exceptions.
We omitted to state, however, that before
liheil was taken to Franklin on Sunday
morning, Esquire Donaghey held an exam
ination, being called up for that purpose
about 3 o'clock. The Justice ot course
committed the prisonor.
Tbo place kept by Rbcil has been closed
since Saturday evening, in Inct tbo building
was deserted during Saturday night and
Sunday, the inmates fearing an attack.-
Our citizens are cow of tho opinion that
quiet is fully restored, and that the people
are willing to abide the course of the law.
The council pn both sides will now com
mence to work up the case.
We aro not of the opinion that the pris
oner will bo tried iu Venango Count y, (al
though bo may be) lor the reason that it
will bo difficult to select a jury composed
of men who have not, or will not, express
an opinion before they are called upon to
serve. Tho prisoner is closely confined at
Franklin, and wo understand the her 1 8"
has forbidden bis reoeiving friends who
visit tho jail for that purpose. .
Pithoi.b. A new woll has been struck
on the McKinncy Farm, aud also one on
the James Hooker Farm. They ore both
reported as doing in the neighborhood of 25
barrols.
We return thanks to Holmes & Farns
wortb, news dealers, for copies of the late

Utah such government officers as make them

Tub Massachusetts Liquor Law.
The people of Massachusetts are disappoint
ed in the workings of the new liquor law.
A general raid has of course been made on
open bars, but drinking clubs have revived,
and hotels, eating houses, grocers and drug
gists have reaped a fine harvest. A Boston
paper pertinootly puts the case thus: "The
attempt to dragoon the State into nniformi
ty on this question bas put good and bad
mombers of the community on a level, and
given those who pander to its passions and
vices for the sake of profit, n advantage
which does not belong to them. The law
demands so much more than it is possible,
or, in the present condition of the universe,
desirable to secure, that every man whom
it encroaches npon considers blmsolf justi
fied in breaking it If he can."
Fatal Accident. The Greenville Argus
says that one day last week, Mr. J. D.
Ball, a resident of Salem township, Mercer
County, while working in bis mill, was in
stantly killed. As far as we can ascertain,
the circumstances attending bis death were
as follows: He, together with a man who
was working with him, had rolled a log up
on the carriage, and to support it in the
centre, bad placed a slick across the car
riage, upon which the log rested. The saw
was in motion, and as it approached the
stick placed across to steady the log, Mr.
Ball was standing in a stepping position.
As be tbuB stooped down tojplck something
up, the saw struck the stick, breaking it in
two, and causing one end to fly up, which
sttuck Mr. Bell across the stomach with such
force as to kill him instantly.
Eight members of the " United Sons of
Liberty," a coal miners' organization, were
convicted Inst week In the Clearfield County
Court. The prosecution alledged that the
society was for the ptuposo of controlling
the hours of labor. &c, .to thoir injury.
The defendants did not deny that they be
longed to the society, but alleged that there
was nothing illegal in it that it was a be
nevolent association. The court held, how
ever, that it came under the tecnlcal defini-1
tions of conspiracy, and the juiy found them
guilty.
The attompt to rob' the First National
Bank at Sandy Hill, N. Y., on Wednesday
nigbt, was only second In point of completr
ness of preparation to the great Ocean Bank
robbery io New York. The robbers were
foiled ouiy because of the time required to
get into the vault, and by tho too free use
of gunpowder. Thty sticcoeded in blowing
the safe opon, but were driven away, hav
ing aroused the people by the noise of the
explosion, with only a few hundred dollars
Iu revenue stamps as thoir entiro booty.
The explosion inside tho vault eat some of
the papers on fire, but the books and vouch
ers were saved, and tbo bank is In sound
condition. The burglars left a large cseoit
ment of fine tools.
