Ibe State superintendent of Common
Schools, Mr. Wichersham, baa Issued
timely circular relative to tbe election or
county, city and borough superintendents of
schools, wbicb is deserving of tbe most
earnest consideration by school director
Unfortunately, however, in many instances,
school directors are so utterly luuauable.
tbal.aoy suggestions oo'scbool questions from
those who, by education and experience are
entitled to make, are studiously unheeded.
sir. Wiokersham states that within tbe next
three years Pennsylvania will have one mil
lien or children ;to educate iu ber pubiio
schools, and that at an annual expense of
tea million of dollars. Whether these chil
dren shall be well trained or otherwise, aad
whether this vast sum sball.be judicouiiy ex
pended or not, Mr. Wickersbam says, de
pends very mush upon tbe character of tbe
men selected for district superintendents.
In view of these facts, be desires to impress
upon sebool directors and citizens tbe im
portance of securing tbe very best men that
can be found willing to accept tbe office o
superintendent. He urges, and very prop
erly, too, that all extraneous considerations
should be laid aside, and tbe choice of su
perintendent be determined by merit and
merit alone. As before remarked these sug
gestions are timely, and we hope tb school
directors of Venaogo and neighboring coun
ties will give them that oarelul considers-
ion which they demand.

auoiv ajjijoaia iu um uq cuanire in regaru
to tbe sale of oil by Fisher Bros, to the
Standard Oil Co., better known ss- the So.
Imp. Co. Tbe shipment of ths oil bas been
postponed to await tbe as t ion of the Exec
utive Committee or tbe .Producers' Union,
wblth meets at Oil City to-morrow. That
the oil Interests of this region are in greater
peril from tbe aol of this trailer than they
have been at any time during tbe excite
ment, there tan bo no doubt, and that I'
behooves every producer to "go to the
front" In this emergency and take a "hand
in" against tbe enemy it beyond doubt a
matter of the utmost Importaace. Tbe
South Improvement Company as-a corpora
tion may be dead, but its "mantle bas fall
en eu tbe shoulders'' of) the Standard Oil
Company, and tbe sooner tbe oil producets
uuderstaod this tbe belter It will be for the
region. Let every man who bss tbe Inter
ests of tbe region at heart in tbe least de
gree, attend tbe mass meeting at Oil City,
to morrow, aad assist la devising ways and
means for frustrating this last attempt of
(be enemy, assisted by Fitber, lo secure a
Uoolbold, wbicb, once gained, meaos utter
ruin to tbe oil business. II tbe man who
bas thus basely sold out his frisnds to the
monopoly, ttsndt la tbe way,, lot kirn be
swept to eoe side with tbe common' enemy,
We must not give up the battle, but contiu
ue to fight to the bitter end
Fisher relnses to explain bis course now
that tbe money excuse bse fallen through,
consequently tbe only reasonable supposi.
tion is that he has been connected with the
enemy all the time. Traitors, in- all ages of
tbe world, have been held up to tbe scorn
and contempt of honest men. Let this man
If convicted, be placed in tbe same list.

Tbe Rontiout Freeman says that a very
respectable young lady of Satigertles, tN
York, has hsd her reason completely restor
ed lately, as the following incident shows:
Sbe discovered in seme paper an advertise
ment, purporllug to have come I mm a high
ly respectable (worthy and handsome, of
course Christian young man, desiring some
young lady to correspond with him, probably
wllta a view directed tewatd matrimony.
Now, as sbe was a plain country lass, al
though ber folks were well-to-do people,
sbe was by no means one wboshould "waste
ber sweetness oa'm the desert air," so sbe
concluded to answer. In due time a reply
came, and as lime passed on the letters be
came more and more affectionate. At last
affairs came to a crisis, and the young gal
lant was Invited to come and see ber. He
did come. But, alasl for ber hopes and
fancies of delight, he came dead. But tbe
joke of it was, be bad to go two or three
miles out of the village, and every bouse be
wont to be Inquired it Miss lived there.
Being tight, he would gooerally state the
otject of bis visit to ber, and would read
her last letter, and then pass on to tho next
house. He made out to arrire at ber house
at 10 o'clock at night. Theold folks were
absent, but two sisters were there. Tbe
meeting can be better imagined tbau des
cribed; suffice it to say !bat tbe corres
pondent baa ceased.
About two weeks ago, a man aimed Tay"
lor, or Oil City, effered to sell to Mr. E. T.
Briggs, el this place, a large ociler situated
on the DalZfll Fiats, for tbe small sum ul
$30. Mr. B. felt suspicious that all was
not right, and upon makiog inquiries found
bis surmises correct, and that the boiler
was tbe property of tbe Dalzell Petroleum
Co., Taylor having a claim to it woatevef
consequently tbe sale fell through. Satur
day tue same individual offered to sell the
boiler to Mr. Freemen for $30, aod induced
Mr. Wilson, clerk for Proem 'n, to go dtwn
and examine it. Upon arriving there, Mr,
Peter Kinney appeared on tbe secne, and
notified Taylor who Ibe boiler belonged to
warning him not to sell it at bis perik Tay'.
lor showed fight, and was arrested by Mr.
Kinney and placed lu the lock-up Salur-
ay night, Mr. Hall, Superiutendeot of tbe
DalzellCo., undo affidavit to tbe above
tacts, aod a warrant was issued by Justice
Reynolds. Tbe prisoner was examined and
held in tbe sum of $500 to appear at Frank
11a to answer.
Taylor, says In explanstion, that a man
amed Ccrnwall owed him $37, aod mat
recently while going dowu tbe creels in tbe
cars, Cornwall pointed tbe boiler out to him
and told blm to take that payment, beose
the attempted sale. As tbe boiler Is worth
at least $500, the case looks bad for Taylor.
We aie informed bo was before tbe court,
in November last, on a similar charge, but
through some quibble in tbe law esoaped.
