Tee report published ia the Titusvilie
Herald In retard te the shooting affair on
Saturday night ia erroneous in many re
aped. The (hooting of the Ban Haley
wee entirely without provocation, as be bad
nothing whatever to do with the Cow Run
mea. The man Conners was arreBted and
bound over to court on aa entirely different
charge, that of breaking into the saloon of
William Loz'cr and threatening bis life.
VTe do not pretend to uphold Haley, who is
undoubtedly a notorious rough, but the
q-iestion is "Have men a right to draw re
volvers aad fire Indiscriminately Into
crown?" As yet 00 steps have been taken
to arrest the Cow Run men, but we trust
they may be punUbed. Haley, the wound
1 man, remains in about the same condi.
lion. Tho Herald is right in one particular
and that ia that "blue ruin wbitkey" ws
at the bottom or the whole affair.
There are now In this place a gang of
about thlity roughs, pimps aad loafers, who
have ne visible means of support whatever,
and consequently the only reasonable sup
position or the manoer in which they get
a living Is that it is done by robbery and
sueak thieving, ir we are not mistaken
there ia a law on the statute books ol tbis
State which provides Tor the disposal of such
ases in a proper manner, and in our bum
ble opinion it is the duty of the officers of
tho law to see to it that community is well
rid of the presence or these scoundrels. We
fesl ConSdeot in asserting that all good citi
cene will uphold tbem in tbis matter, aud
hope to see sstion taken at once. We shall
bare mote to say oa this sut lect in a future
lasue.
The VanScbaick & Barrett well, on Kane
Ran, is pumped entirely by water power,
except when the weather is so cold that tbe
water in tbe Run is frozen up. One of the
old-fashioned undershot water wheels is
nsed for tbis purpose. Tbe well is about
M0 feet deep, aud is yle ding eight barrels
per day. In case the tubing bas to be
drawn steam power is nsed, tbe furco or the
water not belnn sufficient.
A good many daw well are to be put

dency to make times lively In that vicinity.

The Steimeb Citt ot Boston. The
fate of tbe City of Boston still remains un
solved, no fmtber tidings of her having jet
keen received. Tbe false report of her safe
arrival at Qtiecnstowo, it nppears, wus orig
inated on tbo Lor dcn Stock Exchange, and
considerable indignation bas been express
ed in London, as well as In tbis country, at
tbe perpetration or tbis cruel hoax. It i8
mentioned as a curious irstance of want ol
Eoglish journalistie enterprise that the
London Times published the canard uncor
rected twuive hours after the truth bad beeu
generally known. Insurance underwriters
in London have again reduced the premium
on the missing ship, while advancing that
on tbe Samaria, aod in the House of Com
mons Mr.Lefever, on behalf of tbe managers
of tbe Ioman line, denied that tha steamer
was overladened, and asserted their belief
that she Is still afloat Great excitement
and distress exists in Halifax over tbe sup
posed disaster, and during tha present sus
pense busiuess is almost at a standstill.
Chicago rejoices in a visit from Ah Fun,
a wealthy Chinese merchant doing business
in Sin Fraueisco, tbe PaciBc Island, Japan
and Chins. He is a gentleman every inch

state. Func is an educated mutt. SnnaL-a
good English, and rejoiced the Chicago
merchants by predicting an active trade
between Chicago merchants and tbeOlestl
sl Empire. Fung was tbe first shipper of
American flour to Chins, having exported
it first from San Francisco, in 1864. Now
he shipped 40,000 sacks every month, and
exported, be said, 10,000 sacks of wheat
annually.
