V The refiueries at Tilusville and Oil CityJ commence active operations to-day. At this point tbey have been running for ur . eral days Now that tbe hack of the wick ed monopoly is broken, is tbe time for capi talists to build new refineries, and we know of no better point than Petroleum Cenli tr lefiulng purposes.

Last night we received the following dis patch from Mr.Minor: Washington-, March 30, 1872. Kditor KKconn: The Oil Committee and officers of tb South Improvement Com pany are face to lace before the Conareainn- al Committee. The investigation ia exceed- ly thorough. g. Minor, of the Committoe. The Southern Improvement Company, a corporation created by an aot of the Legis lature, and, therefore, likely to involve some olever scheme to enrich its corporators, is creating an immense excitement in the oil regions. It objects are stated to bo "the ruin of producers of petroleum, to enforce a reduction in prices, and te enrich its mem bers," who are mostly capitalists and rail way officials. The petroleum interest is-one of the largest and most important in Penn sylvania, and it Is to be regretted that the Legislature instead ol protecting has put it in the power of unscrupulous men. Tbe oil men, however, appear to be confident of sn ultimate triumph over the monopolists, and having ample facilities for torch-light pre cession etc., are holding immense mass meetings and kindling enthusiasm loan in definite height. Forney's Press. Mr. E. G. Pattersou telegraped Saturday afternoon that the contract of tbe Soath Im provement Company with the railroads bad been cancelled. A well, west of Martinsburg about of a mile, will be tested this week; this well is on tbe extreme western belt being a line of 32 West of Son th taking tbe bearing from the best wells on tbe Dutches and Black farm. Several new wells will soon be commenced on tbe James Say Farm, immediately south of tbe Sbakely. There are some six or eight wells In pro gress en the line between tbe developments on the Wilt and Hutchinson farms and tbe Sbakely well, which is doing SO barrels per day. Emleton Sun. Night watchman Peter Kinney, of this town, has proven himself a trustworthy and efficient guardian of property along tbe street. He has aew been on duty fur five years, snd during that time has not been off duty over two weeks, and that was occa sioned by sickness of himself or some mem ber of bis family. Soma have asserted that tbat Mr. K. "slept at bis post," &. Wo have not lallid of meeting him every night, no matter bow severe tbe weather might be for nearly three years, and many others will bear us out in this assertion. There a'e few watchman who can show a better record than this, and we think be is eminently de serving tbe thanks of tbe business men and property owners of tbe tbe town for tbe faithful manner in which be baa performed bisduty. Nnff ced. Road Commissioner McIIugh has a gsng of men at work cleaning out the winter's accumulation of dirt and filtb from the gut ters along tbe street. Decidedly a good move. Mr. Dobbs, of rise tirin of Dobbs & Me, Coliam, book agents ot Titusville, is in town to-day, delivering to subscribers Ibe "Life ol James Fisk." We acknowledge tbe reoeipt of a copy of the work. It is fell written, very entertaining, and w advise our citizens to secure a copy by all means.N 1 On Fridsy last, tbe Committee cf tbe United Slates House of Representatives commenced tie examination of witnesses in tbe Southern Improvement conspiracy. Tbe revelations made expose one of tbe most gigantic and villainous schemes of robbery ever attempted to be perpetrated on any people. Hanging is to good for tbe vil lains.

Tlie general response a fel low gets now a days when b presents a bill for services Tendered is, "Hard Up." Tbe truth is tbe ceurrtry is miserably poor. Farmers have little to sell, and tbe South Improvement Company swindle, has dried up tbe oil trade on which Ibis country most ly relies for lubricating tbe channels of trade. That's what muke money scarce Men must buy on credit or net buy at all, and though ever so honest snnot pay when calledjupon.gTbis state of tbiogs caaaot last much longer. Sprlog will socn opeo; oil will soon move, and we shall jog along after tbe old fashion. In tbe mean time, bow ever, It goes terribly tough with men who are carrying on any kind of business, and those who can pay should b all lh more prompt. Corry Republican. Cteils have superseded monograms. Victor Comptete-Itepenl of the fttoath Improvement SChar tcr. . Mr McJunkla's bill repealing the charter of tbe tsouth Improvement Company, passed both house yesteiday, and by ISIt time is a law. This of course annuls the contracts of tbe S. L Co., with tbe railroads, and rids us entirely of tbe monopoly tfiat so serious ly threatened ns. Having broken up Ibis company, our general business throughout tbe Oil Region will be again resumed. The refineries of the OH Regien, amply protected and favor ed, will all go ia active operation during tbe coming week. Therejs ample demand or o II. and we can safely predict the usual (activity in tbe oil busineps during tbe com ing month. For tbe success met with in destroying tbe power of tbe South Improve ment Company, the people of the Oil Region are largely. Indebted to Tbos. A. Scott, 0 tbe Pennsylvania Railroad. Unless with bis assent, no action on tbe same by Ibe railroad companies could have been effected. His iofiuence with tbe Pennsylvania Legis lature bss also been very beneficial to us in this matter. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is a monopoly tbat we would glad ly see dispensed with, yet its powers have ever been exercised to faver Pennsylvania interests, and to Tbos. A. Scott is due cred it for so materially in tbe development of the mineral.and other resources of eur great Commonwealth. We are willing to give tbe devil bis due. Tbe pepple cf tbe OH Region have made a coble figbt for their just rights, and tbe victory for them is complete. Tbey can well afford to be geneioua and just lo their future course. The ruin of tb reflnlog In terest of Cleveland, formerly cur best cus tomers, seems to us inevitable. Tbat inter est, by tbe effort to place our people at the mercy of a monopoly, have over reached themselves. Tbey have also forfeited all consideration at tbe hands ol tbe people ol this section. Producers will bardlv care to ell oil to them hereafter, while tbe trade of tbat place as fares refining is concerned, wiM, unless some satisfactory compromise ia made, be directed to other place. Tbe final result of this whole affair will be to transfer tbe great bulk ef tbe refining interest to tbe Oil Region, tbe proper place for refining to be done. For this tbe Cleve land refiners by eatsriug Into an unjust al liance, in tbe highest degree prejudicial to tbe interests of tbe people of the Oil Region, have only themselves lo blam-. Tbey w!li have to bear tbe consequences of tbeir ac tion as best tbey may. There bei g no further obstacle to our prosperous future, shull expect every branch ol business to be re-iune.), and that a just reward sholl be hail for each aod every interest of our country. Tbe victory of ttis peojle of tbeOil Region bas been so complete. Ibat tbey cn afford to be gener ous as well as just, and will cordially wel come tbe removal of Ibe Cleveland rerinerles to the Oil Region-, where the proper local ity for the refining will be in all' future time.

The popularity and great usefulness of this standard temperance book Is evinced by tbe immense sties that have been made, much greater, it is be lieved thsn that of aoy book of Its class ever published. Who lias not read Ibis re markable book, so truo lo nature, so intense Id affect, and so terrible in its moral, and who tbat has read It has not wished for a companion. To satisfy this widely express ed desire, tbe aulbor bas undertaken and just completed a new vrlume, tbat unmasks tbe liquor-Belter and bis accursed traffic io a way to startle and arouse the , public. Tbe new book io entitled ''Three Years In a Man Trap." It gives an inside view ol tbe liquor trade, and portrays tbe terrible affects of tbat traffio in a series of Ufa pic tures, full of tbe iotensost interest, with tbe skill and fidelity to nature, so eminently characteristic of tbe author. Tbe book can. not fail to make a strong impression, and, as a new auxiliary In tbe oause of temper ance, wlll'kave a wide and powerful Influ ence. Nothing could be more timely than it appearanoe now. We learn by tbe pub lishers' ciroulat, that It is to be sold exclu sively by agents, and as it is a good oppor tunity to sioure a book which will sell easily aod at the same time do a vast amennt of god, we advise any one seeking profitable employment te apply to tbe publishers, J.
