Tat tome time past the pulpit of the Pres
byterian Church of this place, has been va
cant, and only been filled by transient
clergymen. One or two have preached on
trial, but failed to milt the congregation and
were rejected. On Sunday next, We are lp
formed by Mr. J as. Anderton, a trial will
be given Rev. Mr. M'Loud, of Scotland.
The Rev. gentleman Is a graduate or Glat
go University, Scotland, and is said to bo
an eloquent and talented divine. The Rev.
A. Sinclair, pastor of the Presbyterian So
ciety of Tituiville, pays the Rev. M'Loud a
blgh testimonial as clergyman and a true
Christian gentleman. In order to give him
fair bearing, we have been requested by
the Elderi of the Church to urge upon the
congregation, one and all, the necessity of
attending divine service on Sucday next,
and listening lo the Ideas and arguments In
favor of the good cause of Christianity as
presented by the new candidate. In timet
past the Presbyterian Society of Petroleum
Centre bai been known at among the most
influential In tbe oil region, and through it
much good hat been accomplished and tbe
Matter's cause materially advancod. Let it
not be laid that tbe congregation was brok
en up and scattered through tbe apathy of
lit members, but ret all Interested In the
welfare ol tbe church, atteod on Sunday
next, and aid In tbe work of building up
tbe soolety again. Tbe public generally

The Stokes Verdict in New York
Tbe ways of New York Courts and juries
are past finding out by the exercise
ol ordinary powers of observation. Stokes,
who shot Fisk, Is not convicted of any grade
of homicide, but has just tbe next thing lo
an rquittal, In the 'disagreement or the
jury." This result was expected by nearly
every ooo wbo kept Informed ol the pro
ceedings in Court. The ease with which
l be counsel for the defense succeed in slav
ing off tbe trial for several months; tbe lit
terly absurd manner in which perfectly
qualified Intelligent men were prevented
from serving nn tbe jury; the extraordinary
latitude allowed to counsel, together with
tbe disgraceful personal altercations to
which it led. and a great many other simi
lar circumstances, prepared the public
mind lor any final absurd result, anywhere
from a "hang jury" to a verdict of equital.
Impartial observers of tbe whole series of
events from the shooting of Fisk to'tbe ter
mination of tbe Court proceeding have not
Changed their opinion that tbe killing of
Fisk, bad a man as he might have been, was
a deliberate and cowardly assassination.
But if the result of tbis farce of a trial is to
be accepted as authority ia tba case, there
are but two facts that are at all sure, viz:
Tbat Fisk it dead and tbat Stokes is not
likely to be convicted or punished for bis
agency In causing tbe death.

Minnie and Marcus A Marriaok
Scrape Wbicb Orioixatbd in Fraxkun.
Some time in last November one Dick Grey
burn, of this city, started out with a variety
troupe, which bad been assembled tnd
equipped at this point, giving lieflist en
tertainment In Hauna'a Hall. Among the
performers they were all novices was an
airy female who was put down In tbe bills
as Minnie Dale. She was generally known
to the boys as tbe blonde. Minnie bad
come bere In answer to an advertisement
for a girl to learn tbe trapeze business, and
said that her real name was Laura Boyd,
and tbat she came from I'nloutown tbat
her people were "nice," and all that sort bf
thing. At tbe same time tbat Minnie was
parading tbe etreets, Marcus Evarlt wat
peddling bair restorative around tbe town,
using a basket for bis store room. lie bad
been off and on bere for several months In
tbe tame business, lie saw Minnie during
bis peregrinations and was smitten. Bu
neiore ne could get acquainted with the
charmer she bad started on the tour wbicb
resuueu so disastiously to tbat troupe o
combined talent. After she bad exhibiled
one or two nights sbe bad a quarrel with tbe
manager, left tbe troupe, came to Franklin
and stopped at tbe FoBter House, where
Marcus sought, wooed and won her. It was
said Marcus bad some spare money, proba
bly $2,000 wbicb ho bad saved In three
years, for some, time tbe happy couple
staid in town and it was noticed and re
marked by tbe other members of the troupe,
who bad returned sad and dead broke, that
Minnie Dale "swelled" it considerably, al
ways wearing remarkably good gear and
having plenty of money. At bis darling's
request Marcus removed to New York city
to seek an Investment for bis small capital.
I wo weeia were spent by tbe couple in
New York, Minnie having full swing at
.Marcus s pocket book, when on morning
Minnie received a letter from Pittsburgh
i calling on her to come home to L'nlonlown
10 see aoout the sale ol tome property out
or wbicb tbe would realize $5,000; and, off
she started, leaving Evarts feeling bad at
ber departure. Two weeks passed end no
word came from Minnie. At last Evarts
learned tbat the was performing on tbe
trapeze at Cincinnati. He went to Pitts
burgh, where he found that Minnie was net
respectably connected in Uniontown and
tbat ber $5,000 story was a hoax to enable
hei to shirk bim. Evarts slatted fir Cin
cinnati, mot Minnie, and again they were
apparently happy just for a week. Min
nie leltagaiu suddenly. Evarts left Ciucin
nali almost penniless, having lost all tie
little savings in lefs lhau two months.
Nothing wag heard from tbe triclsy Minnie
until a few weeks ego, when Evarls receiv
ed a letter from Richmond, Va., which told
bim tbat the lemalo trapeziet bad fallen and
broke one of ber big legs, and asked bim to
come on. Tbe friends of Evarts, bowever
would not let bim go, and It Is presumed
tbat by this time be has got bis matrimonial
eyes opened. The Pittsburgh Leader, of
last Sunday, devotes a column of small type
to tbis case, and describes Minnie Dale as a
"sprightly, fascinating girl, with golden
tresses," to., which It nonsense. Tbe girl
was a great bie, awkward lump, with' ugly
features, and a mass of cheap bair. The
boy is called a green country lad by tbe
Leader. Those who know bim say tbat
be was as smart as the general run of young
men in bis situation. It it probable the
gushing reporter of the Leader has been
imposed upon slightly by Evarts. Specta

The Eliza Drib well on tbe Isaao Neely
rm, run down to about 10 barrels a tor-
ledo was Inserted wbicb brought up its
production for some days to CO barrels it
continued to settle down bowever. Ten
days after tbe torpeuo was inserted tbe well
continued to yield 30 barrels per day.
Owners and others entertain tbe hope tbat
It will remain good for 25 or SO barrels.
The Wiug it Wiljon well, located on a ten
acre lease, on 'he Paul Fry farm, East side
of Turkey run, was tubed and commenced
pumping on the evening of the 3d of July,
yielding tbe first 11 hours about 50 barrets
ol oil. Some of tbe owners and others esll
mate that it will remain good for 50 barrels
iu 21 hours. A. K. Wing, Clark Wilson,
V. O. Wing, Joseph Wilsono, Ricbaid
Neely and Adam Kubn are the fortunate
owners. Tbe striking ol tbis well and tbat
ol tbe Elizabeth, on the Isaao Neely faro,
shows that one of tbe good stceaks of oil Id
its Xortbaesl course adheres more c)o.e!y to
the Clarion river than many ut tbe belt men
bave heretofore supposed. Land in this
vicinity bas not been in demand for oil pur
poses previous to te striking of the wells
on the Neely nud Fry faims. Judga Kea
ting now informs us that ho can least) for a
sixth royully aud $300 bonus per acr.T, and
that Neely & Boben, Wing, Wilson &, Co.,
aud all others must pay these prices cr seek
territory elsewhere. We supposed tbat tbe
Judga would feol grateful to tbe persons who
enhanced the value of bis property end ten
der them some territory ou liberal teims
but thus lar t o such tender has been made.
But, let us not despair tbe Judge if be caD
not be generous will certainly prove just.
Aud now, before going to press, we learn
that tbis well Instead of yielding 60 barrels
per day, does not yield over 15. Tbis is
ibe turn which hundreds of other largo wells
in tbe district take yet tbe public know It
not. Many ivy lis start at tbe rate of 100 bar
rele per day and soon drop to 10. This one
fur tbe first five hours yielded 6 barrels per
hour, but finally dropped to a production oj
15 barrels per day. A torpedo may effect a
a permanent improvement. fOilmao's
Journal.
On Friday last Messrs. J. D. Burton, II
M. Ernst, J. V. Grant and W. R. Crawford
struck a hundred barrel well on tbe Egbert
& Bleaktey property, Galloway farm, Sugar,
creek. On Wednesday tbis well was doing
fully 100 barrels a day. Operations on tbis
farm are becoming quitn extensive and con
siderable excitement prevails.
The Patterson and Dickey well, Foster
farm, Bully Hill, which was struck last
month, was torpedoed a few day ago and Is
now doing at least fifty barrels a day. Wat
sooj.Ji; Co'a well, ahout 200 feet from tbe
above, is also pumping 50 barrels per day.
This woll was struck last week, and hat not
been torpedoed There are six now wells
going down on Bully Hill, one or two ol
which will be finished within the next ten
days. Venango Spectator.
