Gold at 1 p. m. 1ICJ4' Runaway A frightful runaway occurred yeaterd y afternoon, but which fortunately r'eanltpd In no serious lujnry to any person' Our respected townsman, Mr. E. P. Crooks and wife and lolant sbild, bad started for Columbia Farm, and when near Ibe lording 09 ttie Dalzill larm Ibe horse became fright ened at a cow In the bushes, reared up and broke the axletree of the bind wheel and started . to run. Mr. Crooks was thrown a 'ion t U: two left In one directlou striking oa hit bead, fortuialelv landing on a soft green sward. Mrs. C. and Cbljd were thrown about the same distance in an oppo site direction. ' Stiaoge as It may appear with the exception of a few slight bruises they eieaped unharmed. The horse ran acroas tbe flats, over the Egbert farm bridge and was Anally stopped in front of Smaw ley's livery stable, on Washington street, through tbe efforts ot Mr. W. D. Dodge, w bo bad one of bis lingers quite badly bruised In doing so. As a matter or coarse. Mr Crooks Is tbanklul that be got off thus easily, and we don't blame blm as the neaps from be log killed was exceedingly narrow. Our friend Harper, of Kane City, klllid a rattleaaakeoo tbe Brown farm, 'lb la fore neon, which was Ibtee and a balf feet long and bad seven rattles and button. Ratbrr a dangerous customer to have round loose. Mr. G. 1). Geyer, of,K.so Clly, slruok a new well on tbe Galloway farm, near Frank lln, one day last week, which Is yielding 35 barrels a day. Lubricating oil is only worth $1,60 a brrel at tbe wells, at which fljur even a fifty barrel well does not pay. Parsons, tbe Individual Implicated ia tbe late Pioneer scandal, has thus far eluded arrest. A pity. On our front page will be found tbe revis ed time table ol tbe Oil CreeV it Allegheny Klvffr Hallway and Buffalo, Corry & Pitt urgn Railroad. This road was never In belter condition than at present, and we are pleased to learn is dolog a good busi ness ia both passenger and carrying traffic Tbis Is mainly due to tbe indefatigable ef fortr of Mr. O. J. Hepburn, tbe efficient and gentlemanly Superintendent. It la decidedly amualng to wltneaa tbe efforts ot persons who are always behind the times to eatob a train of cars just alter tbey uavn Bnt unoer motion. TDM morning we witnessed a rather ludicrous Inc Ideal of thla kind. A party constating of a man, bis wife and child, wa should judge, dreve In from Ibe couotry and got out at tbe end o toe last car aa t,e train started. They made a oaan for tbe oar the man ahead and the womao and olilld following, the woman shouting at the top or her voloe ''Tell them lo atop! Oil, do tell tbm to stop!" me man nnuooing me worua and tbe child crying, jiut tna cars moved on and led them evidently In no very pleaaaot mood judglog Irom their looks.

PETROLEUM EXPORTS. Tbe complete reeotd of tbe exnBrls of pe troleum from the United States was not kept prior to 1806. In 1866 there was sent abroad 1,643,618 barrels (41 gallons tn the barrel.) This kept increasing until 1872 when there was a railing off oi ona hundred thousand barrels from tbe proceeding year( reaultlngifrom a combination of the produc era and reBners to put up prices, which tem porarily checked exportation! but during the past balf tbe curreot year tbe exports have largely Inoreased, and II tbey are kept up In the same ratio until January, 1874, ths exports of tbe year will largely exceed those of any proceeding year.

Tim LAWTKiti" in Coxvtiom . The Constitutional convention now 'in session in Philadelphia is composed almost entirely of lawyers. That is the prinolpal reason tbe work progreasea at suob a snail's pace. Tbe members ate well ojulifled in tact tbe con vent Ion is one of tbe very ablest ever assem bled lo tbe commoowealtb for any purpose. Lawyer are used to talking as long as the court allows Ibem. Ia Ibe convention, there is no Judge, like there is in court, to decide when enough bss been said on a subject, and tne oonaequence is that where over a hundred lawyers are, retained, tbey never appear to get dona talking, and commence voting. Tbey are so accustomed to pick ing flaws io indiotments and papers it) court tbat tbe report of commllteesare lorn to utter by tbe disciple of Blacketooe, and alter a week's diaousalon of a subject, tbey find tbemaelvea just where they begun, and the whole matter is referred back to the committee. If atjout fifty lawyers were to resign, and Ibeir places filled with Intelligent business men, the work would be finished up in a abort time. Tbe convention bowever is doing a good work, and wa hope tbey will finish the new eonatllatioo, aod submit It for ratification by a vote of the people at ao early day. A MYSTERY CLEARED UP. Tbe mysterious murder of Charles Good rlob, la Brooklyn, N. T., some month ago, is no longer a mystery. Goodrich was a man of considerable wealth and a bachelor with very loose notion ; of morality. His life seems to have been devoted to Intrigues with women, and when be became tired ol bis dopes be would ruthlessly cast tbem off. Ia the natural course of such a way of life be at last tell a victim to the maddeuing grief of a womao he had ruined aod waa about to drive out Into the world to seek lower depth of degradation. At tbe last meeting, ia tbe home where Goodrich's dead body was found, this womao, Kate Stoddart with many aliases, shot blm. Tbe detectives were put upon bet track, but were always at fault Last week Kate Stoddart waa recognized io tbe street by a female detective and arrested. There la no doubt of her guilt, and juat as little doubt tbat the brutal and heartless conduct or Goodrlah toward her drove her to Ibe com mission or tbe deed. Whether sbe was in sane or not at tbe time she killed him Is not known, but sbe Isamaniao now. What ever bor crime may be In tbe eyes of tbe law, or the judgement or Heaven, bis fate waa but tbe legitimate result of bis owo cooduot. a uo luipicMiuu unviug guiio Buroaa ina Mr. M. Samuels was about to sell out bis stock of dry goods at auolion and close up Pk ; i 1 i bis business, he desires u to emphatically deny tbe repott. lie bas no Intootloo, or going away.

Leech Bros., report business rather dul at present notwithstanding the removal ot their competitors. Considerable excitement is occasioned io all circles of Plumer by tbe enoouncemen t that Miss Copelaud bas.been agai n appoint ed to preside over the dsstrict school. Tbe people are all Indignant and propose to hand in a remonstrance. As a teacher Mis C. is not a success at least so tar as Pluroers is concerned. During tbe term she taught last winter she maintaiied throughout a demeanor entirely antagonistic to the will or tbe parents, and npon any otjeqtions be ing vootured sbe dooned her war paint at once and assumed an aggressive attitude ao invulnerable that none dare attack. The result was, dissatisfied parents, indignant scholars who bad no lore lor Ibeir teacher or I o teres t In their studies. We are glad to note tbe arousal of tbe people in this matter aa tbey are usually Indifferent In such cases. Plumer pays a heavy school tax aod should have good teachers. We await further deveiopements, which we will transmit as soon as they oc cur, t Forest County Items. Forest County has a rape case.

About 10 o"olock tliia morn 'ng (Sunday 13th lost .,)notioiog a dna I smoke arising I repaired tbe scene and fouud tbe McDonald well completely envel oped In flames, Tbe well was but recently finished, and was making about SO barrels a day. The well is situated on the Arm. strong Wilson larm aod is owned by ' Frank McDonald, of Ibia place. Flowing through the oasing was Ibe causa of tbe fire, and al though everything possible waa done, tbe rig waa eotnpletly destroyed. Tba tank was saved by very great exertion, tbe derrick falling along aids of it. It contained about 150 barrels of oil.

Almost every town la the region bas bad proof ot this in one way or another. Io the past six months tbe lower oil region has been the chosen field (or those tnicereants, as tbe numerous accounts of attempted aod attcoessrul tobbet les recorded in our columns will show. Re cently We have beard but little or tbe work ings of tbis band ot desperados, and we bapjtd tbey had cast tbeir lines io other places. But such does not seem to be the case. Friday night of last week a bold at tempt was made to burn Kama City, and It was altogether probable that It was lb work of our oid enemies. On the nigbt In ques lion a genllemao who waa lying sick with the fever at Him Erie City Hotel, on Malo street, was awakened by a bright flame shining against Ins bed room window. The mil had not been ablo to leave his bed lor live weeks previous, but when be discovered the unusual light be succeeded lo going into an adjoining room and giving tbe alarm. Tbe occupants or tbe boose were aot long in ascertaining that a barret of shavings upon which keroaene bad been poured, was burning in a dangerous proximity lo tbe rear part of tbe buildiog. Tbe discovery was made just lo time lo save tbe bouse and perhaps the town. Bnlldiogs that would burn like tinder surrounded tbe Erie City Hotel oo ail sides, and bad one got on fire tbe cbaocea to save the town would tave been exceedingly slim. Up to this writing we have beard or to arrests being made, but It is boped tbat sus picion will point out tbe fiends who made this attempt to destroy a flourishing little city nod that as little mercy will be showo them as tbe law permits. There is hardly a doubt but the inteutioo or tbe Inceodaries was to rob and plunder tbe town. Bast Brady I n jepeodeot.
