MoCray, and gives the correot version or tbe affair. It savors strong ly oi en attempt not only to bear I be mar ket but to black mall Mr. McCray i Fuller particulars as furnished us to show that lb la was never a bona flJe transaction. As we bear It, Butters accosted McCray oo O street Thursday andacoused biro ofbetr- log tbe market an absurd Idea, certainly. to any one who knows McCray'a stock. Micray Ironically answered, "Ob, yes, f course. Tbe lower tbe better," aod pawed Butters, not caring to continue tbe crover atloo. Butters, following, called after McCray, "What will you take .or a hun dred tbouamd barrels?" McCray, without a'opping or turning, or Indeed taking any Mount of what was being said, remarked jocularly, '-Ob. about a dollar, I t'pose and walkvd away to ewid further conversa tion. Butters took tbe next train to Petroleum Centre, went to Merobaut (MoCray's agent) ana aemandej tbe oil. Oo Friday aod Saturday telegrams were sent all over tbe regloonnounclng that McCray bad un loaded )00,U00 barrels, without giving price, whiob would or course have killed tbe effeot of tbe statement. On Saturday But tars went to Petroleum Centre aod told Merchant that be was putting in bis cars and expected tbe oil to be loaded without delay. UoCray was down the river oo Friday tod Saturday, aid of course could sot be found. Tbe attempt to bear tbe market does- net aeem to bare met with any success except dawn tbe river. Any effort to bleed lie Cray on "settlement of differences" would . ke an attempt somewhat In tbe nature of blaok mail if Ibis Is correot version .or tbe affair. Sad Accident. A sad railroad aocident ocourred as Miller Farm, late yesterday al ternoon, by which a boy named Eugene Rtmnalls lost bis right foot at tbe ankle. It appears he was endeavoring to jnmp on the late freight train for tbe purpose or stealing a ride, and got caught In some way and fell to tbe track, the wheels of tbe caboose passing over bis right foot, crush ing it frightfully, so rauoti so that It bad to tie amputated. Dr. Bacher,. of Ibis place, and Dr. Varian, or Tituaville, performed tbe operation. By tbe time a lew more mall boys lose tbelr legs or arms probably learn lo stay away entirely Irom- moving trains. This should prove a warnlog. One day last week tbe carpenter's gang on the Columbia farm, oomposed of eight men, done some quick work.

A maii uaiued Latter residing near Fr mb mi. waa struck by lightoing aud kill ol, lui iug. : thunder atiower yenierdiy. Tbe most ridiculous, and in some cases the most indefensible schemes for annoyiug newly married couples prevail in rural dis tricts. The common nuistnee employed Is thut of 'nomine" the newly married coup le by a sereuade of all manner of discord ant machines from a burdy gnrdy to a pumpbiu-viue squeaker, and their din does not cease until groom stands "treat. But to Virginia they bava still another plan, which was practiced lately near Harrison burg. The lirldal party were taking a drive and some parlies stretched a wire across the road and slopped the party. Tbe bridal party wete told they must "treat, trad" or travel," but this the bridtl party refused to do, but tbe men folks, gelling out or their cat riages, guva tbe wire stretch ers tbe benefit of their whips and beating tbecu off cut tho wire and tbe bridal parly moved on, experiencing nothing worse than a volley of OJtus sent after them.. There ate strong symptoms ol justice in dueling cases In Virginia. Tbe law of that State punishes duellug as murder, but it bas been supposed that the vitiated condition of publio seolimeut oo Ibe subject of duel log would render law imperative. A very aggravated case of the barbarous code of booor occurred at Kicbmond lately between Mr. Mordecai aod Mr. McCarty from which tbe lormer died and the latter is still in dangerous coodilion from his wounds. Tbe seconds have been arrested and (the exatn ining o.llctjr committed tbeui without b'i to await McCarly's convalescence. 'oe seconds attempted to gaio release tfiongb a writ of habeas corpus before a juuB0' higher court, but such relief war refused, and tbe seoouds were sent to J'll. It is lo be boped these men will be nade an exam pie. go far as the prtocip' concern ed, one is In bis grave, d tbe other will ba a cripple for life, s'd the aecoods who were the responsiblrparlies, ought to be beld as accessor lee'o murder, fiolooe duel would be lougbrwere it out for tbe seconds. Hardly an Inavbce of a ohallenge occnts that tbe ma"r might not be arranged by the friendi of parties. And the law should be beldso strict as lo put It out of power ol a mar ever.lo he second to a second dust. Jvo bad tbe pleasure tbis forenoon or .iieetlug Mr. C. K. M. Crewlord, ol Tionesta Mr. Crawford Is engaged In tbe lumber business with Mr. X II Steele, tbe well known President of the Pennsylvania Pe- Iroleum Railroad. Mr Steele bas tbe con tract for lurolsbing 200,000 feet of plank for tbe Tituaville aod Centrevllle Plank Road Compaoy. lie baa purchased the timber on ISO acres of the Skinner larm, on Oil Creek, has put up a portable saw mill aod will commence the work of sawing the timber tbis afternoon. Tbe saw mill will be under charge of Mr Crawford, who is one of tbe pioneer lumbermen or Forest county. Tbe lumber Is principally oak with a slight sprinkling ol chestnut aod bass wood. Mr. C. Ibinks it will take at least a year to cut tbe tfmber on ibis piece of land. We bear of the striking of several dry boles in tbe heart of tbe lower oil district. The effect will doubtless be discouraging to tbe operators, but beneficial to tbe oil mar ket. Oil City proposes lo celebrate the 4th of July. Billy Pugh aod George Potter returned from tbe Dunkirk fisbing grounds, yester day. Report lota of sport and a heap of fisb. Tldloute Is to have grand races on tbe 2d 3d aod 4th of July.

Tbe paymaster's train passed over tbe Oil Creek Road, Ibis forenoon. Of course tbe employees were glad to see it, or rather listen to tbe musical rustle of the green backs which tbe paymaster passed out to them. Mr H R Davis Is drilling a new well at the bead ol Bull Run. A youog man aged 18 wbo was engage as clerk In a dry goods store, bas bbeeo ob liged to abandon tbe profession.

A verrJ,Dl'80ne Joung fellow Irom Bal timore -'saulled a citizen oo the street at SlBunon, Vt., a few days ago, aod was sen-1 tp.ed fo tbe cbatn-gang In default of pay ent of bis fine. Wbile the gang was working near a girl's seminary the girls caught sight Jo I bis handsome face, wbicb so appealed to tbe sympathies of the tender hearted creatures that tbey "chipped In" and paid his tine. He manifested bis grati tude by getting beastly drunk. Tbe staudard adopted by the Baltimore peach packers for bushel boxts is nine Inche, deep, fourteen Inches wide, and twenty-two and a half Inches long ioside, divided by a half.incb partition.

Tbe healthiest class in Massachusetts is said to be the fishermen. Tbey live oo fish, pork, potatoes aod bard bread. - Fresb meat but rarely. A reporter for a Western paper, speaking of a certain fair creature, remarked tbat "tbe profusion and color ot bet, bair would lead one to look upon it as though It was spun by tbe nimble fingers of tbe easy hours as tbey glided through tbe bright Juoe daya, whose tntny sunny rays of light bad been caught io the meshes, and were con tented to go no further." This is better than saying the girl's bair was red. There is a tempest in a beer jug in Chi cago. A beer seller violated me Sunday law. Ho was tried by a justice's jury on which were three olerks of tbe dry goods store ot Field, Letter 4 Co., and was con victed. Tbe Slatts Zeltung denounced the firm of Field, Letter & Co., and the Saloon Keeper's Association, amid exoilenieut rais ed to white beat, resolved uot to patron '.n that firm unless tbe clerks were discharged. Tbe olerks at last reports were still selliug tape aod buttons at the old staid, and tbe beer sellers were still frothing. A painful result followed an attempt to settle tbe weight of a mule In Louisville the other day. Bystanders could not agree in their estimates, bnt each made a bet on bia own. Then a man, wbo was reputed to be a good judge of live stock, got behind tbe mule, aod was measuring bis quarters, wben something In tbe mule appeared to loosen. Just belore bo died, tbe man gave It as bis opinion tbat If tbe mule was as beavy before as be waa behind, be must weigh uot far Irom 47,000 pounds.

"Gravity," said oo ot our learned judges "is no more proof of wisdom tban a paper collar is ot a man's having a shirt on." .

Inf. Jans 3d, 1S78. Commltent Issued. The Injunction In this ctio was for Infringement of the Roberta' patent of No. (called the Dm n ent), for Increasing the productiveness of oil wells The act of Infringement for which the defendent waa committed for contempt, conslstod in aiding Alexandra Hacar in exploding torpedoes In ol) wells being the same act of Inducement for which Humar was auto committed In the case No. 8, N. vember Term, 18titt, as before slated. The Coart McKennan, J., alter delivering: bts opinion In the Humor ease, proceeded to sentence Nicholas Geyer for contempt, and delivered tbe fcl lowlus oral opinion: In the case of Nicholas Geyer charged with the sane offense, I am entirely satuflcd that there II ula present, In the Benii well at least. At lhaM intimated to Utecounul in the caurte a the argu ment, the pretence of fluid in the well, mhethe da- tired or not, it an infringement of the patent, and oreachofthe injunction of the Court. , Mr Koberts. by his patent uses aa one of the prtn clpal elements of his invention (laid tamping, snd wherever thore Is fluid sufficient in a well, at tbe time of tbe explosion of a torpedo, to operat aa tamping, whether it gats there naturally .or la put there artificially, his patent is infringed. This wss clearly the case In regard to the Deals well. Bat Mr. Geyer seems to bava been misled by ilamat, who told him .that bo' merely wanted to make aa experiment ; and. I do not think, thla be Ing the first time, that he ought to be very seventy punished. lie also Is adjndgcdgvilty of contempt and. order ed te pay the costs of thla proceeding and undergo an imprisonment in tbe county jail for ,ten days.
