' Tbe Tldloute Journal suspended publica
tion tbe other day, and In the last number
issued, comments as follows: .
Sball It be said that Petroleum Centre
ean support a daily paper; near at -It is on
both sides toTitusvllle and Oil City, and
that Tldloute cannot, though Isolated and
cut off from the centre of news? SB asks
' one of our readers. The rest ot them must
answer.
Tbe people of Petroleum Centre are dobj
of your narrow-minded, picayonlsb kind
' like those who live and do business at Tid
oute, who never see any benefit deilved
from having a daily newspaper to advocate
nd advance tbe best interests of a town,
and are too mean spirited to pay out a dol
lar or two towards tbe support of a paper,
heooettls tbatof all tbe oil towns In tbe
region Tldloute is the least known or talked
of in lbs outer world. We have no such
elfish contracted business men In Petroleum
Centre, or on Oil Cieek, for that matter.
' Tbe Rkooro has been published daily for
nearly four years, and the editor, without
Intending any flattery to himself, baa al
ways used bit best endeavors to advance tbe
business, tooial and moral interests of the
town, and defend Its good name from tbe
slanders of outsiders, in retarn for which
tbe whole-souled, generous-hearted business
men of tbe place have extended us a liberal
and hearty lupport.or to use ao old saw have
adhered to the Record "through thiok and
thin like a lean tick to a darkey's shin," for
ail or which we are thankful. That's tbe
reason that Petroleum Centre cau and does
keep up a daily paper, and as soon as the
tew live men of Tidloute ease up, label and
lay away on the shelf tbe old fossils with
which tbe town Is infested, then the Jour
nal can expeot a support worthy of it and
will prove a credit to the plase.

Tbe Voudou festival, which flourishes In
New Orleans and vicinity, (Hough diaboli
cal, is Interesting, and brings strongly to
mind Ibe witch scone in Macbeth. Tbe
last one was held near one ofthe bayous on
the Poncbartrain Railroad, at eight lime.
Tbe Voudou Queen made a short addie-s
to tbe assembly, both black and white, all
participants, and afterward a fire was built
upon which every odc was to throw a (tick
of wood, making a wish as they did so.
Then a black snake was cut in three pieces
and thrown into a eauldron upon the fire,
and after It a cat a black rooster, wore put
In alive. Then all were ordered to undress;
oertain powders were thrown into the ket
tle; at twelve o clock all bands weie order
ed into tbe lake; and with incantutions,
singing, dancing and a long sermon tbe
time was occupied until daybreak. Tbe
whole strange ceremony wound up with
prayers and a benediction.
Police. A young man named McC Un
lock, residing at Show farm, while Intoxi
cated, last evening, succeeded In kicking up
a lively row near tbe Rochester House. Tbe
liquor appeared to make bira perfectly cra
zy as be attacked everybody seriously injurs
ing bis own brother among the rest. When
sober McClinlock is a quiet peaceable man.
At tbe earnest request of his brother no ar
rest was made.
Alexander Foster, of Foster Hill, was in
town last night, and as usual got drunk.
In tbe exuberance of his spirits be proclaim
ed himself a supporter of Iloruce Greeley
for tbe Presidency, and a'oln to whip any
and all of Horace's opponents. Constable
McUugh differed with Foster on all points,
and placed bim in tbe lock-up. Late in
tbe evening he apparently repented and de
voted himself vigorously to singing Metho
dist bymns. Foster is tbe individual who
nearly killed bis wife while intoxicated by
throwing a hammer at ber.
Presentation. Quite a pleasant time !
washed last evening at tbe residence, of
Mr Doubledsy. on Tarr Farm, by tbe em
ployees on tbe Tarr Farm wells presenting
Mr. Kepler, one of tbe malingers, with a
handsomely bound set of Chamber's Ency
clopedia, consisting of ten volumes. Tba
presentation was made through Mr. Double-
day, and in reply Mr. Kepler said that he
was so taken by surprise that be could not
collect bis thoughts sufficiently to reply as
be wished to, but said that tbe pleasaut as
sociations be has had since he was on the
Farm, will long be remembered by him.
Oil City Register.
We find the following paragraph In tbe
Grand Rapids, Mich , Daily Democrat:
Mr. C. II. Coffman, of Benzonia, was in
stantly killed by lightning, at bis residence,
on tbe evening of tbe 1st Inst. He was
struck on tbe bead, tbe current following
down tbe spine. Mrs. Coffman was stunned
but soon recovered.
Mr. C. was well known in Petroleum
Centre, be having formerly been engaged in
tbe tailoring business here, in tbe small
building located between Geo. W. Wlnsor's
hardware store and tbe brick bank' build,

Land owners of tbe counties of Armstrong,
Butler and Clarion be just if you cannot
be generous. la leasing land do not ask
one fourth of tbe oil and a heavy bonus.
Remember that men who lovest their won
ey and labor and even risk their Jives In
sinking oil wells are entitled to a fair (bare
of the profits resulting from tho production
of oil. Tbe men who delve Into tbe bowels
of tbe earth to a depth of ten, twelve and
fourteen hundred feet to bring fourth its
bidden treasures should no be permitted to
go unrewarded. It therefore dovolves upon
land owners to be governrd by the motto of
"live and let live" under such an arrunfrtt-
ment, all will go ou prospering and to pros

f From the Dubuque Herald, Juno 20.
It will be remembered that the first circus
that exhibited In Dubuque this season was
the Bockenstce company, among whom was
a rormcr ring-master of Dan Rice, and also
Dan's wife, who appears to have Rone over
to the Philistines out of choice. Dan Kice'e
circus was In Dubuque on Saturday last
and from hero wont to McGregor, and
spread their tents in that city on Monday.
Backenstoe't company reached Prairie du
Cbien, on tbe opposite side cf the river, and
exhibited on tbe same day. There is a
hostility of feeling bceween the two com
panies. Tbe sages have told bow much
worse tban any bubbling bell is a womrn's
bote. Dan Rice's wife, If reports be true, le
no exception to tbe rule, and makes things
rodshnt and lively for ber husband and
friends wbonever she has an opportunity.
On Mouday morning, it is said at ber in
stigation, a party of men belonging to Back
eostoe's Circus crossed tbe river from
Prairie du Cbien to MoGregor, and going
to tbe grounds where Dan Rice's Circus was
exhibited, picked a quarrol with the men,
and a general fight ensued, In which there
were not less than forty men engaged on
either side. For a while there was a scene
of bloody riot that beggars description, and
would have ended in loss of life bad not tbe
authorities of McGregor Interfered and put
a stop to it. Nfoe of tho men were arrested
and sent to jail, and others made good their .'
escape. As it was, few got off without
broken noses bunged nnd blackened eyes
and swollen mouths.
A Hindoo Widow Runts Herself to
Death lu England.
A death lately occurred in Brighton, En
gland, of a character heretofore unknown
on English soil. A woman immolated her
self upon tbe altar of affection for her do
ceased husband, under peculiar circumstan
ces. Moses Spineman, a very wealthy mer
chant, during his many mercantile expedi
tions visited Malabar. Ilcre be fell In love
with a native woman, and married her in
Ibe presence of the British Consul. At tbe
end of six months after the marriage be took
his wife to England and Into bis homo at
Brighton. The young wife clung to all tbe
customs of ber native land, ami refused
most persistently to be converted to t?
English Church. She bad a kind of temptn
built on ber husband's estate in the countr;
and went to It every day to effer up her de
votions according to the rites ol ber own
filth. At length her liusoand died. Tbe
widow opppeaied to suffer the most lurenee
agony of soul. She looked upon the lifeless
form of ber husband witb terrible frenzy ol
despair. She wrenched out her hair, tore
ber clothes and disfigured her bountiful
features witb ber nails. On the evening I
after the fuaoral of ber husband she disap- '
peared. After three days' unsuccessful
search for her, her servants bethought them
selves of looking in her temple, and bad a
presentiment that something terrible bad
happened to ber. They did not find the
woman, but tbey found a heap of asbea still
smoking, and the smell of burned flesh.
She bad evidently built bor funeral pyre,
and immolated herself tberoon. Upon
searching among the ashes they found por
tions of human, remains, wbicb, together
with tbe 'peculiar odor emitted, satisfied
them of the fate cf tbe poor woman.

derweli; pf Gennesoe, Now York, was shot
square through tbe body. Tbe ball entered

ly tubed and pumped at a depth of 1150 feet

well is being drilled deeper in hope of reach
ing a third sand which will yield a larger
c -lantity of oil.

The Petersburg territery U not looking
quite as good as formerly; there have been
tender twelve 'wells finished lately which
are not much better than dry boles. Some of
these nru on tbe Dan lvitts form, some in tbe

district can produce a few. On tbe whole
wo look for a large decrease in production
for Ibe month of June not only froa that
reported by the Titusville paper but from
what it really was. I do not throw all the
blame of these false reports upon paper re-
porters, It rests upon Ihe Bbotilders of opera
