Line Meeting at Knm
City.
At a meeting beld at the office ol Demp
sey Bros., Kane City, on Wednesday even,
log, April 10th, to inquire into tbe feasibil
ity of a new pipe line up Cberrytree Run,
tbe meetiug was called to ord-ir by Mr. C.
Barrett, and on tnotioo Mr. U. A. Dampsey
was chosen Chairman, aud Mr. Painter
elected Secretary of tbe meeting.
Mr. Dempsey stated the object of tbe
meeting to be to devise tbe best and cheap
est means to get our oil to tbe railroad.
Mr. Wright offered tbe following ppo
sition fiom Mr. Riebardaon and others, of
Tars Farm :
That tbey will run our oil for 20 cents per
barrel;' charge no percentage; commeoee
ley'.og the pipe as soon as possible and pros
ecute tbe same with due diligence to cem
pletion, &c.
Mr. Speucer being called oo, stated that
Mr. Stambaugb could not as yet see bis way
clear to make auy reduction.'
Mr. Barrett thought it best to have a com
mittee to wail upon Mr. Stambaugb with a
petition signed by tbe producers, nod to as.
certain what be would do.
Mr. Kenney moved that as opposition was
tbe 11 e of trade we have a new line.
Mr. Saunders sgreed with Mr. Barrett.
Mr. Saunders moved to appoint a com
mittee of live to wait oo Mr. Stambaugb
and get bis lowest figures. Carried.
Mr. Peikios moved that we instruct our
commit to to allow Stambaugb to run our
oil at 20c. per bbl. aod also allow tbe 10
per eeut. per bbl. Lost.
Tbe chair appointed Messrs. Barrett
Saunders, Painter, Kenney and Adams, as
such committee.
On motion it was agreed to instruct the
committee to offar Mr. Btameaugh. 15 ceots
jjer bbl. and pay the 10 per cent, or 20 eta.
ana, no percentage.
Tbe above motion was amended by strik
ing out the word offer and inserting the word
ask. Carried.,

For the Daily Record.
Mb. EDlTOBi-Wbat Is tbe meaning of
tbe word "donation t" Without being critical
as to tbe exeotdefinlllonef ibe word as given
by lexicographers, what meaning does the
common publio a lacb to It?
Does It not mean ao unconditional gift, a
free will offering, In return for which Ihe
donors expect no direct material recompense
or equivalent! If such Is tbe common ac
ceptation ol the term, (and If It means any
thing, It means just that,) can it be said lbat
aoything is o "deoetioo" which is gives
aod received io part or in full payment ofa
debt?
Tbe Idea conveyed by an affirmative an
swer to tbe last question Is supremely ab
surd and ridiculous.
I have a purpose io view In propounding
these queries. There seems to be, in the
minds of some residents of tbis place, o lack
of knowledge and consequent paucity of un
derstanding upon tbe fuli meaning of tbe
word. They need light, and if I can shed a
single ray or light upon tbe subject, my
purpose will have been accomplished.
A short time since invitations to a "dona
tion" paity were extensively circulated in
tbis place aod vicinity, which read as fol
lows 'Mr. Yourseir,Iady and friends, are
respectfully invited to attend a donation
parly at tbe Central House, on Friday even
ing, March 29tb 182, for tbe benefit of Rev.
Mr. Scbofield, Pastor of tbe M. E. Church.''
Tbis party was beld. as per announcement.
Many of tbe Reverend gentlemen's friends, iu
and out of tbe cburcb, attended 'the party.
''Donations'' were given with a liberal band
by those present, and were sent In by some
not present, though to what aggregate
amount I am unable to precisely stale, and
all who were not In tbe ring felt gratified to
be able, as they thought, to bear testimony
to Mr. ScboQeld's worth as a msn and as a
minister. Tbe proceeds ol tbe party were
i baoded to blm, and so far everything was
satiatactory. But tbe last scene in Ibe play
was not enacted before tbe public Although
Mr. Scbofield received tbe proceeds of tbe
donation" party, it bas transpired lbat tbe
officers of tbe churoh charged the same to
hi.i account, and deducted tht amount from
his salary!
Comment upon such action seems entirety
superfluous, but I askv did not the card of
invitation bear falsehood upon its very face?
Why, in the name of all tbat is just and hon
orable, did not tbe church officials leave out
tbe pastor's name altogether, and say "for
Ihe benefit of the membtr.i of tbe M. E.
Church!" Tbey contracted-: to pay their
pastor a salary io coniideratinn of service
rendered, and if tbey afterwards lound Ibe.u
Belves unable to fulfil their part of Ihe con
tract, without assistance, why did they no(
say so, aadsolicit aid for themselves di
rectly, instead of endeavoring to excite tbe
ympatby aod generous iinpulsesot tbe pun
'io in laver ol their pasior, and then putting
tbe gain into tbeir own pockets? Of wb-t
'benefit" was tbe 'donation? party to him,
unless there rtmaipded oo other method of
ootsiolug bis hire, to wblcb, as a faitbfj
laborer, he is so justly entitled, and of which
be is so eminently worthy? Was not tbe
'benefit" of tbe scheme derived by them
selves, since it enabled them to raise tbe
money to-obtain at least a portion of the
servlo-B of tbeir pastor for nothing? There.
fore, when tbey again wish to obtain meaoe
for a like purpose, would-. It not be more
consistent with the principles wbiob they
profess, to so advertise, and not hoodwink
tbe publio by subterfuge and deception to
L -i- .. i .,.
Were they afraid tbat
the publio would not respond ao promptly,
I and generously to an appeal on their own
beball as to ooe on behalf of tbeir pastor,
sud that, oo tbe principle tbat "that the end
justifies tbe means," they were justified1 in
resortings to tbe latter expedient to "raise
tbe wind"?
Ifsucbacauso can be ? justified- by ayn
well autbentioaled article la the code oi
moral law, and I could, by advertising a
"donation." lparty for tbe "benefit" of Mr
J. S. McCray, thereby obtain tbo- mean to
purchase a few thousand barrels of oil from
him, (provided be would sell,) the proba
bilities are lbat I would adopt the occupa
tion of an oil broker. All of wblcb Is re
