Tbc people ol McCliotoekvilte justly complain t the rtabby manner to which tbey have beeo treated In Ibla affair. Every pereon who bat ever .'orded the Creek at that point knowi It to be dangerous at nearly ell aea one of the year, and mora particularly o In high water, and yet In tba fac of the deioree of the Court, end the wlehet of tba tctldeatt of MoOllntockvllle, who have offered great amount of damage te their bualeete Interr-it and to Ibe town, tbeae venerable old roostera have done nothing except call 6ncein a while and take a look I the bridge and with lock of the utmoet wladem wag Ibelr old noddlet end walk off oaly te pay n another wlel I In a month or bo. II may mil the rettdean of MoCllo tockvllle, but It seems to na la a trifle ln OOMifteat on the part or the Commission en. We hope tbe Court will take aollon In the premises. - . 5 f ' We might add tbVt our cltlzeni have ree oni for complaint agaloat tbe Comm let Ion era oo tbe tame tcore. Tbe bridge at thii paint baa been cloaed for some daya put for repalra, and teams have been compelled to ford tbe Creek. This la entirely due to tbe same mean parsimonious spirit display ed by tbe Commissioners m the McClin tochvilla case. Instead of suhjeollng tbe bridge to tbe moat thorough repalra In tbe ili6t place, tbey blred a man to put in a pew stringer on tbe Egbert farm aide Tbe bridge was then thrown open and everything was pronouooed lovely. Thle lasted for a few days when it was discover ed that tbe old litbrlo was giving away in another place. Again the mandate was Isuei to olose the bridge, and tbe work of repair Is now going on. Next time lite "little bell is touched" to close Tor repairs, We my expect to aee Me bridge newly bulH as will have to be tbe case la tbe long run. Tbe wisdom and economy displayed by these aged offlolalt Is past the compre hension of common people. , Falrvlew ie one of the most orderly plan a In tbe oil regions. Pelrolehm Centre ibe most disorderly. Tldloute Journal. h'alrvlew being played oot aa a mailer of course must be orderly, but when the Jour nal makes a gratuitous assertion like tbe hove II utters an untruth. Compare the police reporte af Petroleum Ceotre and Tld loute, and that of the latter will be found to more than double the former, Ibe first comparison is therefore entirely Invidious. Tell us another little story, Journal, but ad. here closer to ibe truth next time. The weiisen the Egbert km era tempo rarity shut dowa, oe account el one r ibe large boilers being oajtot repair. Berrien of all kleeV are to market In great plenty. Lou ouoher bae beeu compelled to drill bis wetor well eight or leu foet deeper, on euoount or tbe onnroua douiaod for that ar ticle. Constable Thompvw ol Oil City, was in towu yeatercHy. " The nraanni IlKCic in the oil market OftllF ea considerable excitement. It is olaimed that spot oil sold at Parker City on Tues day at tl,6Sal,70, wbleb Is tbe lowest price retched for the pad seven years. This is mostly owing to the striking of several new wells in tbe lower district, within a few days, one or two of them flowiog large quan tities of oil. Tbe Commercial says: "The new wells above mentioned, sbouid tbey bold out, will give an aggregate dally In. c raise of 1,525 barrels, but this aggregate Is not likely to be maintained for any great length of tlm. it m ist be remembered, however, that there bs' been a very large general increase during tbe paet seven months. Tbe receipts of crude at this povf from tbe first of January to Ibe 26th of Jnly Instant, aggregated I,0C3,898 barrels against 1,186,601 barrels for tbe year 1872. Thus in the first seven months ol this year, we shall have received nearly at much etude aa during the entire previous year. This will account far tbe low prices which have been prevailing, nod should tbe production be llll further increased, as Is Indicated of Ibe reported strikes ol large wells, tbe prospects tot better prloaa are far more flattering. " The following, which we copy from an ex- cbaoge, will apply to more places than one: Wanted.

All who wish to enter into tbe above corps will appear on tbe steps or tbe various cburcb doors on next Sunday evening, where they will be duly Inspected, their names, personal appearance and quen-! ity ol brains, registered in book kept for that purpose. To prevent a general rush we will stale that no one will be enlisted who pones aes Intellectual capaoity above tbal ef a well-bred donkey.
