established. Soo advertisement.
Tau Minsthels Last Ntuur. A largo
and appreciative audience assembled at the
Opera House last evening on the occasion
r the first appearance ut the Associated
Artists (late Kelly mid Leon's Minstrel.
"Wo proiiounco them ouo of the best troupes

Tub New Diii'o Store. -The now drug
store of li. II. Fisher, just ouo door below
tho old stand, is now open to the public,
aud is very neat and couvenieut in Us ap
pearance. Tho good, tuute of Sir. Do Vin
noy is everywhere apparent, and the gene
rul arrangement of the goods preaeutH an
exceedingly inviting appearance. .
Considerable excitement was created yes
teruay ul'lernoon in tbo bunking droit's at
Hamilton, Onl., caused by the absconding
of Gales Ledger, Keeper ol the Bunk oj
Moutreal. He is reported to have Ukeii
iifty thousand dullars, obtuined by certified
-checks, &c, and gone to tbo Stales.
Dull Tihks. Our disconsolate Locul in
a mournful strain, thus bewails tbo scarcity
of matter of Interest to the public. He is a
bora philanthropist and is falling Info a
visible' decline on account of bis Inability
to furnish more Interesting news to tbo
community at lurge:
No news, not an item, not even a fight,
No mysterious murder the Locals' delight,
The police couit's deserted, there nothing to do,
Our reporter Bays d n, he c;in Oud notniug new.
Tho Squire Is downhearted, tlio olilcer growl; '
The detective Is sleepy, tho coronor bow),
If some friend to roporlera would wish to doll;u'
'cm
Let him blow out hi bruin and u.a'.o tucm uu
item.
What Tiiky Deservc Several repre
sentatives of the delegation which vlsitod
Petroleum Centre on Saturday and Sunday
night last, alluded to in another place,
were In Fisher's drug store on Sunday nitfhl
using the most profane language, when they
were Informed by tho manager of the store,
Mr. Do Vinney, that such language could
not be tolerated In his stoic, whea they
made a tush fur him, bruising blm quite
severely. They Suddenly left tho vicinity
of "Oslikosh," however, doubtless thinking
it might be too warm for tbeia in a short
space of time. Such lonfers and disturbers
of the peace uVsorve the most severe punish
ment the law can give,and a little of old
'Geueral Lynch" would be a lesson. Don't
know when the will honor our town with
a visit again, but when they do, they should
meet with a warm reception.
The Accident at Miauara Falls
Another Victim. Miss Mary Ana Ballou,
who was one of the Injured at the accident
at Niagara Falls last Friday, Is dead. Her
remains and those of Mrs. Smith went cast
on Saturday, by express. Mrs. Tillinghast
and Mrs. Fisher, the other two ladies who
were involved in the calamity, with Mr
Tillinghast, were passengers on the eastward
bound train Saturday evening. They bad
a sleeping car to themselves.
Some Calf. We were shown this morn
ing a nice specimen of meat from the New
York Market, opposite the McClintock
House, on Main street. It is Indeed a
beauty. The calf was four months old,
weighed four hundred pounds, and was
raised in Cbatauqua county, New York.
The new market Is becoming celebrated for
its splendid specimens of meat, and its va
riety, and the proprietors are deserving of
patronage.
Rough Crowd. Rather a rough crowd,
said to be from the vicinity of Rotiseville,
visited Petroleum Centre Saturday and Sun
day, and during the two evenings mado
several attempts to get up a muss, but sig
nally failed, we are sorry to say, for if any
party needed a seveie thrashing, it was that
ciowd. They made the nights hideous In
their drunkenness, but didn't get anybody
particularly excited. At least they kept
away from the right quarter.
- The Avonhalb Fund. The appeal to
the sympathies of the people on behalf of
the Avondalo sufferers, has met with an un
expectedly liberal response. The contri
butions now amount to over two hundred
thousand dollars, and additionul sums are
being constantly receivod. Tbo probabili
ties ure that at least a quarter of a million
of dollars will be placed in tbo bands of the
Scran ton committee for the relief ot the
wives and children of tho murdered miners.
Parker's Laxui.nu Tho v larion Demo
crat of the 2Mb inst. suys:
The excitement at 1'arker's Landing con
tinues to increase, and now wells are begun
duily. If land owners iu that aud all other
new territury would lease on sneh terms as
would require all wells to be cased, and on
ly allow one well on each four or Dvo acres,
then it might be reasonably expuoted that
it would take several years to exhaust the
oil. But with derricks almost as close to
gether as trees in the forest, and no casing
in the wells, a few months will leave the
district like a sucked orange.
George Poabody has just given an addi

Darino Robiiery. The New York Eve
ning Post of Thursday says: One of the
most daring robberies ever repotted In this
city took place about half past seven
o'clock this morning in East Twenty-fourth
street, near Third avenue. Mr. Charles
Simonson, a clerk employed in the Treasur
er's office of tbo Harlem railroad, bad just
left the Fifth National Baiik in Third ave
nue, carrying in bit band a leathor satchel
containing nine thousand dollars, when be
was oet upon by four daring thieves, who
sprang from a butcher cart, having evident
ly been mailing for their victim. The vil
lains knocked Mr. Simonson down, one or
two of them using brass knuckles, and not
withstanding ho Clung tcuaciously to bis
bag, it was wrested from his grasp, tbo
thieves meanwhile pounding tneir prostrate
victim most unmercilully. Having secured
their prizo the three men leaped into the
cart and drove at full speed down Third
avenue. The fourth, Thomas Hart, ran
after the cart,Jbut their capture seemed im
minent, as a large number of persons wit
nessed the closiog part of the daring out
rage, and they would not wait for bltn.
Hart was seized by au Eighteenth ward
officer, and recognized ns ono of the most
dangerous thievos on the east side of the
city. It is reported that lie has Severn'
times been engaged in similar daring rob.
beries. Tbo men ia the cart succeeded in
making their escape with the money, and
the apathy shown by some of the police of
the Eighteenth ward was severely comment
ed upon by citizens who saw the transaction
and joined in the unsuccessful pursuit of
the villains.
The Utah Daily Reporter, alluding to the

tbeir own brothers' daughters, and even
two of them at once marry halt sisters,
mothers und daughters at. the sumo time,
and even sisters of the whole blood.

All the stories told of the Siamese twinB
hardly equal this of the famous Scotch
double man, of whom the following account
is given In the Iiernm Scotiarum JIMoria:
''During the Reign of James the Third, ot
Scotland, aud at bis court, there lived a
man double above tbe waist, single below
that region. Tho King caused blm to be
carefully brought up. He rapidly acquired
a knowledge of music. Tbe two
beads learned several languages ; they de
bated together, and tbe two upper halves
occasionally fought. They lived gonerally
however, in tho greatest harmony. - W hen
tho lower part of the body was tickled, the
two individuals felt it together; but when,
on the other hand, one of tbo upper Individ
uals was touched, be alono folt the effect.
This monstrous being died at tho age of
twenty-oight years. Ono of the bodies died
several days before tbe other.
