Gold at 1 p. m. 114 , MOB-LAW. ', How utterly blind and headless even well-intentioned mob can be shown by wbat kas been recently going on at Cellna, Ohio. A young girl was murdered near that place under olroumstenc.es of great atrocity and brutality. Three men young.men were ar rested upon suspicion of being the mnrder enQTbewbole neighborhood was greatly excited, and tbrougb'some cause, more Im aginary than real, tbe populace fended that tbe prisoners would not be punished. A large forse gathered, took tba three prison ers from the custody of the sheriff, and were about 40 bang all three, when a brother Of ue snuraered girl expressed a doubt as to tbe guilt of tbe youngest of them.. Be was returned to the sheriff, and tbe other two Instantly bsnged. Or these two, one died protesting bis innooence.. Sinoe then still another man bas been bung by tbe mob; nd tbe terror Inspired by these proceedings bas esused two others to commit suicide, be causa of rumors that tbey were "Implicated' nd would be executed. In addition to al' this, a lawyer, who. was simply discharging Bis protesslonal duty by acting as council lor tue prisoners, has been compelled by tbe reign of terorism to leave tbe country Tots la sailed "Lynoh law," in the West, ana me proceedings are pjbllshed in re spectable newspapers in Cinoionatl. in words and manner that seem to justify them and tbe only reason for It is tbat a great aim most cruel crime bad been committed. and tbe mob was professedly revenging tbst rime oy Killing me men whom tbey bad Dxea upon as toe gumy actors. me wnoieor new lawless transaction. uuiu ri .viucuot, a aireaaj observed, mo viiuv sua Drum nature or mob law But for tbe accidental Interposition or the bsother of the murdered girl, a man whom ne oeuevea to be Innocent would not have seen siaugniereo In k few minutes. Tbe other who died asserting his Innocence, may u.t. uno mnuceni. Even ll guilty be had oe right to trial lo Court. Now, are th nrauviD ion miqa neeaioog wsv nu themselves In tbe way of butchering nno sw van "J we gaiiiy thsa the -ietche who committed tbe crime tbeylwere assum' Ing the right to revenge? Yet we do no doubt a treat many or tbem felt tbey were perfectly just men, executing unquestiona ble justice. Yet, atill further, we bellev' there was not one among the mob who, 1 accused of crime, or even if guilty of crime, would not consider it to be a murderous outrage to be seized upon in the way these wretches were seized, and denied all right o (rial and defence and oi counsel. Bu such is tbe nature of mobs and mob law. No matter bow good the motive may be, no matter wbat boly Instincts ot the heart may have been aroused, when the mob gets lo work it soon becomes blind, brutal, head leas and heartless. It is a far less evil for a few criminals to escape punishment than to bave a whole community become murderers under tbe fearful error that they are doing justice and vindicating tbe lawl Tbe men who (eel tbe strongest and sincerest Indigna tion when great outrages are committed, are tbe very men who should be the lore most In demandiog that the law shall pun ish crime. Some days since, Mr. A. Smawley tbe well known livery stable keeper of our town, traded horses with one Hovry, of Pleaaantville. At tte time of tbe trade tbe borse owned by Smawley was In good con dition, but immediately after the transfer was taken witb the ''heaves," a disease which a horse liable to be taken witb at any time. And now comes the jvke cf tbe affair. Thinking be bad been badly sold, and aching for revenge, Hovey applied to lawyer Beebe, of Pleaaantville, for redress in the shape of an action at law,' and yes terday Mr. Smawley received a letter from tbe lawyer notifying him to '-trade back," and save trouble. This Is probably tbe Orel Instance on record where one borse man 'squealed" on another, and it we mistake not the law does not recognize a borseetrsde consequently Hovey will bave a good time collecting damages. Smawley avows him self ready to "light It out on that line if it takes all summer." NOTICE.

It appears that some days ago tbe owners of the Wise well, on an adjoining lease, put on a gas pump, and immediately alter the Howard well, wblcb bad been producing about thirty barrels, ceas ed producing entiiely. Mr. H. then put on a gas pump and brought up bis wel to 75 barrels,, which caused tbe Wise well to stop. This would seem to Indicate that tba wells were oonoeotedi , We bear it ramored that some of tbe old wells on BeonebofTHItl are soon to he start ed up. There is no particular reason why Ibey could not be made to yield oil again in paying quantities. New" Saloon. By reference to the ad vertisement In another column, It will be seen thai Cant. W. L.

Longfellow Retired What Old John Harper Said after the Race. From tbe Commercial Advertiser. Wben Longfellow came on the track be was greeted with loud cheers from tbe grand stand. John Sample rode Lotiglellnw, and Jimmy Row rode Basset') thu sums rider who rode at tbe Branch. As tbe race commenced McDanleln stood a front of the grandstand, and; Uncle John was away off over tbe track. At the stait Bassett took tbe lead. He held it at ti e lirst mile and tbe second haK mile, Int el the fourth hall mile Longfellow set-roed to gain. Then bis lelt fore shoo broke ba r way, bis tendons gave way, Lis tail drop ped, and tbe race was up. ''I knew I'd send Longfellow back to Kentucky, " shouted McDauiels, as be shook bis cane in tbe sir. Unole John followed about fifteen minutes behind Longfellow. When be reached tbe stable the boys bad his leg bandaged, but be could not step on It. His fetlock bent down to tbe ground. I walked along with Uncle John. "What did It?" I esRed. "Well, tbe shoe broke, and then he broke. It's dogoo bad luck, but it was a devilish bard track." "Is he clear broken down !" I asked. "Yes, he Is clean gone, ne broke like a race horse, though. He broke like Fannie Howard at Lexington, and like Charmer, Cracker, and Red Hood. This Is bis last race!" and tbe old man crawled under the bar to look at Longleliow. "Give bim plenty of straw," be said to tbe boys, "for maybe It's bis last bed." So ended the race; and to ended tbe horse which bas made a fame and a name wonderful on tbe coutinent, and wondered at abroad. Tbe time for two and a quarter miles was 3:50 tbe fastest mile being 1:43. Lens- fellow bas done a mile in 1:40. The Central Park Circus. Tbe street parade or tbe Central Park Circus' and Menagerie, this morning out shone Barnum and Robinson 'a in almost every particular. The elegant costumes, and the excellent condition of tbe horses at tacbed to new and bandsome wagons, was the subject of general remark. Tbe heavy thunder storm wblcb prevailed tbia after noon, made tbe attendance at tbe afternoon performance, much lighter than was expects ed, but tbe managers will probably reap their reward to-night. Tbe Menagerie and Circus are highly spoken by those who have seen It elsewhere. Jamestown Journal.

A correspondent of tbat paper,' writing from Parker's Landing, says: to noticing tbe extracts of oil news in your paper, while admitting that Argyl8 and Fairview are lively places for oil devel opments, yet the statement that all the wells completed in tbat district are produc ing i rum uuy io one nunarea tmrrels per day, is so far from tbe facts as to need some correction, as it is by such exaggerated re ports tbat we small producers are now get ting only $3,25 lor our oil at tbe wells, and pnmping five to ten barrels per day, from 1300 feet wells, at -tbat price, Is not very encouraging to operators.
