TIic Present Panic.
We are really In the midst of a n named
panic, v.-bicb like ell boa little to rest hpoo.
1'nnlo ta fright, and fright Is cowardly. So
II is to-day. Our peViicky'oll market would
cease, it hall the facta were looked at and

production. It ii based on tbe pcoJiiot of a
f.iw big strikes while tbe ,hea4''ls on yet,
but tbe trutli la teWprloee. have closed

Is steadily shrinking ftom Tlfllonte'to Ar-i
gyle o j one side and Turkey .City on tbe
other.., The increase is limited! to a email
area where "beads" will scon be off. Pro
d iction to-day is probably Dot over 20,000
barrels and certainly won't vary a thousand
either way, while the bears cell U 27,090 or
z,uuu. to present string or wells ore
completed, and tbe drill stops till spring .
Ns new rigs are building anywhere or by
anybody, and the last winter proves the
iowr oouotry could not be drilled to aoy
extent lo cold weather, and . bekne'tvao
that sets in the produot of to-day wfll be off
onr-tblrd.
Tbe price to-day ought to be Dot less tbao
two dollars. The faota show It. But tbe
necessities of the producer araorenfotf and
tbe oheek and rapacity ol tbt capitalists ba,
oo limit. Falsehoods, wild Jriyjiors, every
artful dodge tbat'oao got oipf she wires Is
daily retorted to,' that tbe pries may go

the production. ' ' '
If tbe producer will only look facts lo the
face, panicky prices will stop, The Roch

Stibri.no Amur. A slabbing aflray
occurred abont one o'clock Suoday morning
wbioh resulted lo tbe serious Injury of . a
man named Aldbso Raymond, aa employee
atSmawley's livery aUble, atibe btudif of
ooe Vest. Evans. It appeals Baymdbd and
another man were in a disreputable bouse
at tbe uoper sod ol town kept by a woman
named Frankie Iftvie. They were . la-
room and bad tbe door locked, when Evans
came Into tbe hnnse and demanded admit
tance. This was refused by Raymond when
Evans In

and then upon getting up diaaovered for the
first tins that bo had been out. ' The wound
bled proffresly before befng dressed?" Tbe
kuife used Is an ngiy looking weapoof, soil
has a bfade between four aad flu Inobes

deep and two Inches long, Evans was ar
rested at ble mother's house at tbe month of
BennebolT, JRun,. yesterday forenoon, by
Justice Reynolds and Constable: ; Burgess,
and eonfload la tbt lock up udtil ibis morn
log, when brought before Justice R. for
examination. ' By advice af bis oounsel bs
waived a bearing, and was held In tbe sum
of $500 tor bis appearance at Franklin to
answer the charge. Falling to prosnre tbe
requisite security be was taken down on the
oon (rale. Raymond was bsld in the sum
of $100 to appear aa witness in tbe case. 1
Evans is a hard caatodier and bas figured
frequently on tbe polioe docket, i This ease
will probably wind np bis career for tome
time to come, as tbe prospect Is good for a
few years retirement for bim In Allegheny.
: Police. On oath of a woman named
Warper, lira. Dunnegan was brought before'
Justice Reynolds, this morning, charged
with selling liquor without license aod sell
lag liquor to minors. Mrs. Warner testified
that Mrs. Dnnuegsa bad sold liquor te ber
son a young man named Evans, ' who was a
inor." Tbe young man Wo swore that ba
bad.drank liquor at ber plaos; . Mis. Dun
negan brought forward at lease twelve wit
oesses wbo all testified .that she, had ,'baver
sold liquor to the plalntlB "oo. j On tbe
selling without license she wss held In tbe
sum of 9150 for an appearance at Court
la
tbe other case she was discharged and i the
plaintiff made to pay the costs, i Mrs. Dan
negan gave the required ball and was set

levy black mall from Mrs. Dunnegan. She
ioss-med our reporter that tbe 'Warner wo

D. would give ber.$25. Tbts she refused
to do and tbo oases want to' trial as above.
This case grew out of the slabbing affray of
Saturday night ao account of which will be
published elsewhere.
From gentleman wbo eama np from St.
Petersburg, yesterday morning, we learn
that oar former townsman, Mr. Barry Da-
rousse, now Burgess or BU Petersburg, was
violently assaulted Saturday night by a man
named Barney Vensel, and during tba me-
Les which earned Venae! literally ohewed
Ms of Mr. DerOnsse's ears oftV Tba. affair
It seems grew out of some bard feeling on
tba part of Veossl at tba manner In whlpb
tbe borough laws were eil forced by Derousse
Veossl was former Burgees of tba town la
buckwheat times, and our Informant states,
is jealous at the Improvements going on un
der tbe present administration. Vensel Is
vay wealthy man, but having turned
oaanibal, It Is to be hoped Mr. Derousse
will follow blm to tbe extent of tbe law.
This is tba story as told oiiAreporter. Mr.
Derousse Is widely known and respected In
this section, and bis assailant is universal
ly condemned by ell. ' "

Tns Butler Prisoners. Mrs. Snyder
aod Juo, Vt.rFqremaa, 4o Butler, as report
ed last week had a hearing Saturday hfter
noon before Justice Keek,: at that place.
During tba trikl Mrs. Snyder wept when she
could not make tbe Justice believe Wltb ber
that it Was cholera from which bar husband
was suffering, or that a spider had gont Into
the coffee to bathe and poisoned II. The
testimony of the atteodlng physicians was
taken, which went to sbow that arsenic had
been found lo tbe coffee, and that Soyder
had drank too much of it to kill him. One
ot the neighbors testified that Foreman was
in tbe habit oB kissing Mrs. ' Snyder, and
that shs offered no sppareot resistance, tt
In view of all this the parties were commit
ted for trial. '
