I City Derrick of Ibis morning btt
another column devoted expressly to Col.
William Pb'lhps and tbe Allegheny Valley
Railroad. A ptragrapb Is copied from tbe
. Hevauo in regard to tbe affair, and lo con
mentiug theieou, while no refliollooa are
openly made, curtain Insinuations are made
Which are not correot. Tbe Derrick lays
"Whether our cotemporsry seea fit to ray
anything for an iintranitnelt'd press, or pre-
. fere. to be politic end elde with tbe ebpprev
tics corporation, it should at least state tbe
real lesuo between us and the Valley Road.'
We hardly understand wbat that issue It,
unless it be that the Derrick baa In timet
past devoted column after eoluma towards
abusing the Valley Road and Its officers and
management, at the same lime being tbe
recipient of almost innumerable lavort at
the hands of both that and Ibe Oil Creel
Road. Tbe favors, la our bumble oplulon,
more tbau balaooed all the advertising does
by tbat sheet for tbe railroad. If it wat
not a favor lo have aa edition of papers
eot free gratis almost tbe entire length and
breadth of the oil region hours in advance
ol other journals, then lavoit cannot bechoe
at all. With regard lo ao "uotramtneM
press" we utterly tail lo see tbe point of tbe
Derrick' argufeeots or whereia It bat been
trammeled In tbe least by Col. Phillips or
any other mao for that matter, at it hat lrv
variably made a point lo ty wbat it bad a
a mind lo; many timet la language mc
forcible I'.iau elegant, and in many cie j
where tbe criticism wat unmerited. Ot
course there may have been wrongt done ,.i
the mauagemeut ol this road, but they can
and we presume hive been righted in more
tbm oue lim ine, lint tbat should be do
jmieoo why Col. Phillips should be made
I ho Bole object of personal abuse on the part
t'f that paper. In the Derrick's case "the
last hair Is w hat probably broke tbe camel's
buik," aud that paper bas no out to blame
but iisolf, and now that "lit chicken's
have come home lo roost" it should net find
. any lauit whatever.
The Derrick seeks to oarry the impression
thit Col. Puillips 13 working in tbe interest
ol the TittiBville papers. That argument Is
decided y thin considering that Oil City has
ulways had tti.i aJvaulage on both roads.
l'or our part we never considered that
the prea il tula region bad been trammeled
In the IcuBl by either tbe VaUey Road or
Hie OH Creek liud. We do not speak lor
entire pres.", but lor ourselves we have al
ta8 been trea'.ed with the utmost courtesy
by tbe Allegheny and Oil Creek Railroad
ulUkials, and presume the majority of tbe
pre along Ibe line will bear us uut la tbis
uBserllon.
Our townsman, Mr. Ambrose Weaver, ri
celved a telerm from Millerstowo, this
morning, aLiiourAing the death ot bis brotU

TleTitn lio ltntrcat euded this morning
Tbe following poem is supposed to have
bflca written by ao operator ,wbo formerly
rslded on Oil Greek, but ' uofortuoately
moved to Butler :
Tbe sbadfi of olgbt are falling fast,
When on tbruugb MiPerstown tbere pass
ed
A youib, wbo shouted as he went
And seemed to show just what be meant
Butler or bust.
Ob, stay, a maiden said, and rest
Tbat weary bead upon my breast;
A tear fell down upon bis nose,
But from bit lips tbe cry arose
Butler or bust.
At early dawn the youlb atilt pressed
His toilsome way towards the orest;
Ilis feet were sore, bis "wind" played out,
But still be mustered strength to about
Butler or bust.
Then, in tbe light of the new day
Chill, comfortless and sore be lay
Upon tbe rocks, and feebly gasped
At with bit bandt bit brow be clasped
I'm baited.

deed from the Marine Hospital of Pennsyl

of 1872, refined oil wat quoted la tblt mar

terday tbe prions were UJ and H cents
Estimated at 42 gallons, a barrel of refined
oil, one year ago, sold at $7,98 to $8.19.
Now II is worth from $5,D8J, lo $6,09 -a
decline of $2,00 per barrel. The empty
barrel (new) it worth $2,25, to that forty
two gallons of refined oil are sold lor $2,75
or about nine cents per gallon, without ibe

Katie Bender. She hit to appearance of
a coarse person wbo bat associated rather
with wild animals tbao human being, and
for year instead of month. Her sufferings

is utterly unknown to the people of Provo,

at Katie Beoder. She claimed, In reply to

she it a Roman Catbolio wbo bat adopted
tbe privations of savage life as tbe best
