J1 ho South Improvement Com

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

A well, west of Martinsburg about of

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

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.

On Fridsy last, tbe Committee cf tbe

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

time. Oil City Register.
Tbe long-expected companion to "Ten
Xigbts in a Bar Room" is nearly ready, and
will shortly appear. 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,
