Gold at I p. m. 113 Not content with what bas already been written and said about tbe "donation ques tion," which to us it seems bas created scandal enough to satisly the most greedy scandal-monger In tbo region, aud having utterly failed lo tbe attempt to lead tbe public, by false and uncharitable state' meals, to believe tbat tbe Record was ar rayed against tbe M. E. Society, "A Mem ber" comes at us agaii, under cover of the mantle of Christianity, with a long article devoted to personal abuse, spread eagle arguments and weak flapdoodle milk and .water language, all or wbicb must have pleased our citizens immensely, judging from tbe laugh It raised on all sides after being read, aod the exprt ssioos made in re gard to tbe writer, &a. I We were well aware tbat "A Membet'r would lake the' grounds of an "attack on their Christianity," which is false as every candid person tbat read our comments oo tbe former personal attack will bear us out la saying. Knowing full well tbat an at tack oo tbe good cause of religion or Chris tianity, in every age of the world, oo mat ter whether tbe parties thereto were right or wrong, always secured sympathizers oo tbe grouods of persecution, we avoided that subject entirely. Christianity or religion, no matter In what form, we have oever at tacked In aiiy manner whatever, aod our friends In and out ot all tbree ol tbe obrlBl Ian societies In this plaoe will readily oear witness to this, "A Member's'' assertion to tbe contrary notwithstanding. Tbe writer seeks to make capital out o the temark made by us in reference lo not' being a church member, and advises ub to read tbe Bible and practice Ha ' precepts. Good enough. As no man Is perfect, we are willing to accept this advice, believing tbst Its broad pbilaotbiopio teachings, adhered to strictly, would eunoble our oa lares, lead us to seek out tbe good, tbe true the beautiful lo life, and make better men and women of all. We are not perfect nor above reproach. f)LetTui draw a .naraltel and- let tbe public judge. "A. Member" Is a member ol the church, a professed Christian, a believ la God's woid and Hi teaching-, wl lea ays '-Judge eot lent je be judged," and yet we are credibly lo formed that on last Moo day evening, "A Member" and few other Cbrlitlan lidlei and gentlemen, tbe Dimes of whom are koown to us, met In secret conclave, and devoted a spare hour to emp tying several vials of wrath on our head, applying inch uncanny phrates and epithets to us is "drunkard," "liar," "slanderer," "base and wicked Odd Fellow," etc., etc Tbe church, donition, Christianity, and everything was forgetten, but tbe iloful Record man. "Which the same we rise to remark" may be all right, but it seems to us is a little uncharitable and unchristian-, like. Our readers cm form their own opin ion. "Tbe mountain labored," Ac, "dough nuts," "nibs." "weak platitudes," etc. Tbe large engine bouse at tbe Walters & Johuson well, Sam. Boyd farm, was destroy ed by fire laet night. The fire was occa sioned by tbe explosion of a derrick lamp Oiled with crude oil. Tbe boiler and en gine was considerably damaged. Lois is estimated at $800. Yesterday, tbe coustructloo train while on its way to Ryod farm, to clear tbe land slide, struck a man wbo was walking on tbe track at a point nar Gregg's Switch, throw ing blm from tbe track, breaking one leg and crushing bis right arm. Engineer Kidd was running tbe train, Bounded tbe usual alarm and attempted to stop, bat tbe en gine wis too close to tbe unfortunate man for tbe attempt to prove successful. Tbe name of the unfortunate man was David Sannejj end bis residence la at Cberrytree Village. He is now lying at tbe bouse of a sister near Shaffer. Drs. Cbtistie and Stu art were In attendance and amputated tbe leg, but thought they could save tbe arm. It Is due to Conductor MIddaugb and En gineer Kidd, to state tbat every attempt to stop tbe train was made before It struck tbe poor man, wbo It seems was very deaf aod railed to bear the signals. It If thought be will recover. Lands for Soldiers. PROVISIONS OF TUB NEW HOMESTEAD LAW- A large portion of onr coarmuntty Is di reotly Interested In tbe soldier's homestead law, whlcb has recently gone Into effect. It Ib well worthy of a careful perusal : ' "It provides that every officer or soldier, seaman or marine, who served during tbe rebelion, and was honorably discharged, shall, on compliance with tbe bomestend act, receive a patent for one hundred and sixty acres of public land, not mineral, in cluding tbe alternate reserved sections of publlo linds along tbe line of any railrotd or other publlo work; provided, that said homestead settler shall be allowed six months after locating bis homestead within which to commence his settlement and improve ment; and provides also tbat the time which tbe homestead Bettler shall have served in the army, navy or marine corps aforesaid shall be deducted from the time heretofore required to perfect tbe title, or It discharged on account of wounds received or disability S Incurred In tbe line or duty, then tbe term of enlistment shall be deducted from the time heretofore required t) perfect the title, without reference to tbe length of time be may have served; provided, however, that oo patent shall issue to any homestead set tler wbo bss not resided upon, Improved and cultivated bis said homestead for a period of at least one year after be sbaU commence bis improvements. Any one en- tilled lo enter under this act, and wbo bat. heretofore entered less than one hundred and sixty aores under tbe homestead act, may enter enough under the present act to make 160 in all. - If any person entitlod to tbe provisions of this act has died, bis wid' ow, ifnmarriei, or io case of death or marriage, then bis minor orphan children, Dy guaraiau auiy appointed, snail bs en titled lo ill tbe benefits of tbe act.

Tbe Commissioner of tb General Land Office is to make all needlul rules to carry tbe act Into effect. Here is a new phase or theatrical delight. Every evening the New York Grand Oj era House is perfumed by an Ingeniously-contrived lountaia placed in tbe vestibu'e, which throws a stream of cologne to the height of three or four feet and then breaks into a beautiful spray.

For the Daily Record. O.VCE MOItE Petroleum Centre, May 6, 1372. Ed. Record: -Every school direolor In tbe county bas received an anonymously signed circular, lo basely slanderous against Prof. McClure as lo stamp falsehood on its very face. No candid or intelligent person to whom it was addressed will fall to see Its drift aud understand Its motive, nor fail to condemn It. No one could sanction this cowardly manner of attack All it proves is tbat des perate diseases require desperate remedieai and tbat an unscrupulous man will siy or do auything when looking duleat in tbe face. Prof. McClure is well and favorably known in this county, having taught very successfully lor several years, with a great love for bis profession, wit,b solid attain ments, and with a bard earned and well pes cured reputation. ' He is thoroughly imbued with religious feeliogs aud sentiment to which a consistent life bears witness. No mora capable or courteous gentleimo could be louud to energetically superintend Ike schools of Veuango County. ( Tbe present incumbeut bas filled the place quite respeolubly ever since tbt officii was created. This length of tiuio would satiny any other man than Dale. He ciiua teu aclously .o the bread and butter Bide of tbB queslion. There are those who think rotations in office proper, and those wbo think too that It requires a better man to day, than it did when Dale first took charge of tbe posit isn. One possessed ot more scholarly attain ments, more proficiency, more executive ability and more bearty co-operation witb tbe teachers. We want Teachers' Institutes in every towosbip, presided over regularly by tbe superintendent. Not yearly meet iogs ol tbe teachers, but weekly ones. There are two cv dldales, very excellent men in their way. Mr. Bowman represents Franklin. This is regaidtdas a very compli mentary arrange nens. Also, Mr. iulinger, of R'MisevllIe. Mr. Dale persuades blm against his better judgement to run, as it would introduce hun to tht public and la milinrlzs the directors will) filename, awn ing hiui that when Elijib-like ho went to heaven be would fling lna una tie on Elisua Zuliuger. Heretofore this adroit management of having several candidates set up has elected Mr. Dale and be thinks it always will. We shall see. Citizum.

It Is a battle trophy of a race of natives living near tbe bead waters of tbe Amazon river, and Is the bead of a captive condensed by some unknown process to a size not more than tbree inches in diameter, the original proportions of tbe features being preserved. It looks like tbe boad ot some pigmy. These trophies are eateemed highly by tbe natives, and tbey are difficult lo obtain. A lover consulted a lawyer about carry ing off an heiress, "lou must not carry her off," said the lawyer, "but she can carry yo off. Let ber mount a bora? and bold the brille and whip, then you get up oe bind her, let ber run off wilb you, aod thc-n you'll be safe." Tbe next morning the law yer found that bis daughter bad run away witb the said young man in tbe aforesaid manner. A Detroit man, wbo lately "swore off' on chewing tobacco, let himself down easy by chewing something else. His first day's supply of somethlug else consisted of six oranges, fourteen apples, ten cents' worth of peanuts, two sticks of spruce gum, three large sticks or candy, a pint or roasted ohestnuls, one cake of maple sugar, tbree cents' worth of liquorice root, aud half an ounce of camomile blows. TJie question arises, whicn is woise, tbe tobacco or this miscellaneous substitute. At Hillsdale, N. II , tbey huve discovered an effectual way ef taking the belligerent spirit nut of a man.

"Ah " be replied, "but I'll make it a point to get one that'll tear out yours." There has been peace in tbat family ever since.
