Day before yesterday there arrived in
tbta tow.ifrom Erie, a German woman, who
was tn search of ber daughter, agirl about
17 years of age, who the woman said was
. in a house of prostitution here. After mak
ing ioquiries ol several parties the wher.v
abouts of tho girl was discovered to be in
one of the "Free and Easy's" at the upper
end cf the town. The meeting between
another and daughter was very affecting,
tut no amount of persuasion could loduce
tier to go borne, and so the mother left for
Erie alone. The relatives of the girl are
said to "be very wealthy 'and respectable
people, of that city, and the reason of the
girl leaving home was because ber parents
refused to allow ber to marry a drunken
worthless wretch who aspired 'to ber band.
Ills the same ld story, ''One more unfor
tunate, rashly importunate," not exaotly
gone te ber doom," but probably soou will
if sua persists in pursuing the coprse of life
she has adopted. If young girls could only
see the want and misery that mutt even-
tually rail to their lot, tbey would hesitate
long before leaving happy homes to eater
upon a life of shame.
Mr. Dan. E. Crocker, for a long time the
well known landlord of the Sberman House J
in this place, has purchased, the Kane City
Hotel, an I proposes to "run it" after a fash,

and re-fiirnisht'd It throughout, and it pre
sents a neat and bomolike'.appearauce.
When we say that ' Dan" is a popular land
lord, wu but express tba sentiments of a
host of bis friends, and that be will keep a
first class bouse no one that knows him on
den! t. Those of our citizens visiting Kane
City will do weU.to "put up" with Dan, at
the Kane City Hotel.
We would call the attention of our read
ers to the fact that at tbeliqitor store of J.
Jt M. Barrett, Washington sireet, can be
found a full and complete stock of pure
wines, liquors, ales, cigars, &0. These
brands of liquors are unsurpassed for puiliy
and flavor, being procured diieet from the
manufactories on their order. The geiitle
nien composing the Arm are well known as
straight forward business men. and tboBe
in want of liquors or cigars would do well
to psy them a call and examlue their stock
and prices.
A correspondent of the Meadville Repub
lican, writing from this place, suys the
Record made a statement that the .James
Devlin well, on the Dalzall farm, was yield,
lag 20'J barrels of oil per day. The Record
made no such statemeut, but did say that
thenbove well started up at the rate of 200 j
baneU per day, but would probably lull off
as soon a the bead was pumped off. We
would advise the. correspondent to put on
