No one better understands bow to make a
bauking institution make money and friends
at the aame time. In bis bauds it is a
bleieiog to the community. No mercbaut
or dealer; no operator or land owner; nay,
no! even a teamster, will be relused accom
modaiioo if be be a taan wbo is Indus
t ioua and attentive to business and posetsa

This Is not tbe Cuptaiu's style. If tbe man
is intrinsically right be will carry blm over

Tbe unerring character ol bis judgment
may be inferred from tbe fact tbat since Ills

Venango C'onntr Court Hecord.
The cane against T. B- Alcorn, the school
tescher of Petroleum Centre, was finlshdd
jesterday. There were several witnesses
L -?J. 1 1, I
pxamiuea on eacn eiuv attti itiriw wnn
many more, nearly forty in all, who were
not called.
Ths court charged the jury I anbstancen
that a tescher had a right to correct a pu
pi I and by menus ol corporal prnlsbment, if
necessary, enforce the discipline of hi
school, and tbat If a scholar waa injured
while redialing a teacher, who was requlr
log and trying to compel obedience. II thu
injury waa nol intentionally Inflicted, the
teacher was not guilty of assault and bat
tery.
Tbe jury returned their verdict ibat the
defendant was not guilty and that tbe pros
ecutor should pat the cost!.
Commenting on tbe above tbe Oil City
Derrick says:
There is no doubt tbat tbe court proper
ly laid down tbe law as it exist! in Penney!-
syivanla. There was bat little conflict ol
evidence and tbe verdict ol tbe jury, ex
cepting perbapa making the girl's father
pay tbe costa, waa in accordance with the
law and the evidence. Notbing batter il
lustrates tbe remark of Mrs. Livermore, In
bcr last lecture, that Iho law lags balfa
century behind civilizition. The Judge in
bis charge said tbat tbe day might come
when teachers would not have the right ol
corporeal punishment, but be gave them the
law aa it bow exists.
We will not comment upon the caeslur
tber than to sty tbat a lather bas been
made to pay one hundred and twenty dol
lars for seeking justice against a man whom
be bad good raason to tbink had abused bis
child. It may be Ibat tbe many acta el
gross Insubordination in pupils in different
schools In this connty, and the fact, as
plainly shown recently, tbat teacher! must
be supported In tbeir lawful authority, bad
an influence In tbe jury box.
The next case was 'that of Sylvester A.
McCammen, wbo was convicted of fornica
cation, and sentenced to pay a Bee of $5d0
to tbe mother of tbe cbild $60 lor the exi
pensea to date, and further lo pay one dot
lar a week for the next five yeara, and glv"
bond with security In Bve hundred dollars
fir the payment of the weekly cilpeod.

Whether ibe olhet half cuiild W muds up
by stopping tbe sale of raw oil mine fw
who deal in it and by refining the saj.n
ourselves multiplying our cmuiueis by

It seems to us if we refined all ilia oil al
borne here and sold direst to the coniunv-r,
and made it our business lo owo the. ei I

that then we could make muuey and sell
