A Sad Casi. -"During tbe oomparitivcly fw years since the discovery of tbe Oil Regions, tbvy bave been tbeaceoe of many ead Inoidents, but one r-f tbe saddest cases we bavo noticed occurred in Oil City last oigbt. About balf past eight o'clock, officer P. A. Thompson was summoned to one of our hotels, wbere be was met by an old gen lie man wbo reside In Tidioule, who engaged bis servicts, and gave bim tbe following facts. (Tbe Dames, for. obvious reasons, re withheld. Some Bve years sgo bis daughter, girl ol test than sixteen yoais, ldt borne, and bad not since been beard from. Be bad made diligent Inquiries, but bad been unable to learn anything of ber whereabouts until yes terday morning, when a young man told bim be bud better come to Oil City, and banded bim a slip of paper, on which was written tbe name -Belle Howard''' Tbe man gave no further information, and tbe old gentleman, doubting and half fearing came here on tbe next train and sututponed tbe officer. He then gave a minute duci lo tion of bis daughter, which tbe officer recoj n zed in the person of a girl wbo, for the last tew days, bad bet a frrqmming tbe rooms on the west side, occupied by one Belle Howard, a notorious prostitute, wbo is dow reported to be tbe mistress of 0 man doing business on tbe Creek. They pro cedeed at once to tbe Justice's office, to se cure a warrant for ber aire?!, but liudlng it to be one of those cases not recognized on Ibe statue buck as a crime, tbey determin ed to get ber away by other means if pntsl-' bio, aod went to tbe bouse for tbut purpose Tbe officer entered tbe room Mist and tried to peisuade ber to leave, represen'ing that ber father was ou'side, and was anxious to take ber buoie, and willing to forgive tbe of fences of tbe past. Shu lathed at him, bowevir, and lindiog he could 'do nothing, he went down stairs and aovis-d the father to see her himself, and try (o persuade ber to go'witb bim. Tbe lather, acting on thfs advice, went up stairs and entered the room wbere sbe. reckless and defiant, was wait ing bis appearance. ,, The tceue that followed may be Imagined but cannot be described. Tbe grey haired and broken Leaned father entreated ber to return borne with bim, promising forgive ness for the past aod kind treatm nt in tbe future. He talked to ber us only a brokeu hearted father could talK to an erring datigb tcr; but she, yet a child in years, was old &nd callous id sin, and refused , peremptori ly, to leave tbe life she was leading, and an nounced ber determination to continue it regardless of consequences. Finding that entreaties and kindness were of mi avail, lie adopted a different c uiee, and with a few well time threats and pf mines, succeeded 10 getting ber to consent, rel .ctuutly, bow- ever, to go with bim.- Sbe was taken liom thence to tbe residence of ue of our citi zens, and tbis morning tbe sonowinji father aod the fallen daughter departed lor Tidi oule.

The book is ex ceedingly well written, and contains a lull and complete account of what tbe author saw during residence of severs! months In tbe metropolis of London. Tbe scope of ibis new book Is so full, that it would-be lengthy task to mention at all in detail, tbe various phases of lile with wbiob it deals.

And as nearly all these points receive their machinery and cil well supplies, and all tbe necessaries ol life through tbis station, tbe local freight trade is immense."
