. The Oil City Times ilenicB that the debt
of that town is $100,000 as has been stated

We are pleased to note the apparent pros

Goon Templars' Amateur Dramatic

entertainment which the Good Templars
are making aotive preparations to give, they

'Ten Nights io a Bar Room." A subject
quite akin to the mission of that society.
Tire enutertainment to conclude with the
side-splitting farce ot the "Quiet Family.'
From various hints which wo have received
we are led to anticipate that the charaoti
ol Joe Morgan will be rendered unusually
well. From a sense of delicacy tho name of
the young amateur who is to take that
character is kept from the public Wo are
privileged, however, to let them this much
iuto the secret: that he served an honorabl6
part in tho late war as major, and is now, io
time nf peace, winning fur himself honors
in law and politics in western New York,
and that on several occasions he has taken
the role ol an amateur merely as a pastime
and on every occasion has drawn out great
admiration.

Cuanors at Niagara Falls. Niagara
Falls have undergone marked changes tbl,
seasoD, from the repeated fall of heavy
maws of rock and the gradual caving in of
embankments. The Horse Shoo, it is stated,
has evidently given way some thirty feet at
that partof the cone where the "groen water''
is seen, so that the horse appearance Is
metamorphosed to that of a triangular shape.
It is thought about una hundred and fifty
tons of rock mist have fallen in on the
Uotse Shoe alone, and old inhabitants are
tuking landmarks to notice the recession
that may take place before another year.
The American Falls, also, have evidently
given away at points to a certain extent.
So many thousand of interesting couple have
gazed on Niagara under circumstances need.

The Rochester Cnion, of last W duesduy

"A tragic aft'iir occurred at tho village ol

At that time the village lock-up, a moderate

Jurors H. Hanker Vice President, w:cl .Mr.
Augustus Schell to succeed Mr. Wetrnoie io

of the Bank of New York, aud Mr. Eieliell is
always spoken of as in connection with the
grand schemes of Commodore Vandeibilt.

Nothing sine, in the vicinity of Utica,
New Y'oik. a marriage was solemnized in a
singular manner. As the parties to lie mar.
ried entered the parlor arm-in-arm, the
clergyman met them midway in the room,
when the bridegroom, taking tbe lijht hand
of the bride, said: "We have promised to
protect each other so long as we live. We
intend now to bo united, and hereafter to
live together as husband and wife, and we
bave invited you to be present this evening
to sanction our union according to Uie re
quirements of custom and the laws." The
clergyman, in reply, said: "By the anthor

Personal. II. A. Converse, Esq., who
has fur nearly soven years been a resident
of Oil City, and a member of the Venango
Co. Bar, has removed to Louisville, where
be Intends resuming the practico of his pro
fession. The cilizons'of Louisville will find
in bim a lawyer ol ability and Integrity, and
very prompt in the execution of business
entrusted to bis care. Although widely
differing with Mr. Converse in politics,
justice demands a good word from us on tlie
departure of one of our best citizens. We
hope he may find many friends in bis new
home, and that bis business may bo fully a,
remunerative as it has been in the Oil regions
of Pennsylvania. Oil City Times.
A Meeting cf citizens was held in
tb
new tabernncleo at Salt Luke city oa the
8th. The crowd was enthusiastic, number
ing over twelve thousand. The Hon. L A.
Smith, Brigham Young's counsel, was elected
chairman. A committee was appointed to
draft a memorial to Conrea.". asking the
admission of Utah asaStato. The memorial
presents the similar petitions sent to Cun
gri'sss in 1S50 and 13U2, although properly
presented they were never brought to a
vole. The memorial claims a precedence of
other Territories admitted into the Union,
with far less order of government and gene
ral resources for maintenance. Territorial
government ut the bct is oppressive, a rolic
of toe old colonial form our luthers threw
ofT because of its injustice, exaction and tyr
anny, particularly tho practice of govern
ment appointing officers from distant States,
who are unacquainted with the necessities
of the people. Tbe population of Utah is
now 150,000 and they are anxious fur aolf
ioveriuuenr. Another accident occurre d at McClintock
ville on Friday, the sufferer being a man
named Black, recently from Ohio. Ho was

tho building will be one of the finest in
