The Individual who assists the assistant editor (the scissor) of this department ol the newspaper would re spectfully, and with all due deference, ask from the discriminating and eversuffering publio a favor as follows: That wbrt any Individual ol this dearly beloved public bears, witnesses or performs any remarks ble act, or acts, be the same more or less, that they will impart tbe said valuable in furmatloa to tbe assistant edilor tforesald, od thereby secure fame, (which consists lu bsving your name spelled wrong in tbe ar tide) and assist the aforesaid editor in maks lag bis columns Interesting, thereby secur ing to that editor, aloresaid, that dally sus tenance, and some winter clothes, without whloh be will become cadrtvemus and frost bitten, and perhaps before spring be obliged M go "Out In this cold world, Out Id the street1 Ask log a penny from each One be meets," Or words to that effeot. Last night we bad tbe pleasure of mset log Mr. O. W. Skidmore, engineer on the Warrea fc Venango Railroad. "Skid" is one of those good fellows that we rarely meet with. lie is withal a good engineer, In fact none better ever1 band led tbe lever and tbrottle. Came agaio, Skid, old boy. Your visits, altbougb like angels few and far bslweau, are none tbe less welcome. Two or three Inches of snow fell last night. Our townsmen, Messrs.

The water io Oil Creek is going down but uil Is-uot goiug up. All Itlgltt. , lTow many of us but bear the expression a dozen times a week, soil have it stick la the throat at least half of Ihetn? ..It is brooming to be a hypocrllioil appendago of business and soo'al intercourse. A sponge goes behind tbe counter and cuts off a dimes worth ol tobacco or cheese with an excuse that be wants a "sample,' od tbe grocery man says "i bat's all right." A customer returns a pair ol shoes, .soiled and Injured after a half a day's wear, grim' llng,"lbsy are too small," and tbe merchant ays "that's all ntibt. A church member puts down bis name for $25 to pay tbe preachur and when call ed oo, gives only $10, with tbe reoiarki that "tbe time are loo batd," and the par on says, "that's all right." A loafer makes a regular practice o, com log Into a printing; office and begging a copy of a paper, stating tbat be "just wants to read it," and lbs edition Is short tbe editor groans with gaatly politeness, "that's all right."! An extravagant debtor tells a patient creditor every time be meets him that "be Intends to pay the account to-morrow cer tain," and the poor dun turns off with, "that's all right." And so it goes. It's all wronr;, nod we say It's all riht, aod by want of spirit and independence, enconraga laziness, imposi tion, stingines aad every other sin. The times aro improving; we ere heart I y glad ot it. Our oil men are now selling tbe oil for cash, aod r.t a slightly advanced rate. We have 03t as yet bad a single fail ure, and wo do not Know of any oil mau tbat is now in the least danger of failing, money Is very sciroa however, periooB who have money take advantage of the hard times and want pay. We know of a few lost aoces of that kind here. We are in f vor of making them "swUAt." We also obroniole with pride tbat while banks all over tue country bave suspended, uot ooe of the Parkersburg banks bave refused, to pay cash over tho counter, when a good check was presented; that besides tbat tbey bave helped their customers to the best of their ability, and bave averted ruin that was staring many in tbe face. If all will held offa little while longer, we think tbat it will then be smooth salilng Volcano Lubricator. Tlianlisglviiifz l'rcelaiuutluii. By the President of the United States ol America, a Proclamation. Tbe approaching olose of another year brings with it the occasion ot renewed thanksgiving and acknowledgement to the Almighty Ruler of tbe uolvorse lor tbe uu numbered mercies which he has bestowed upon us. Abundant harvests bave been among tbe rewards of Industry. With luca exceptions, beajtb has been among tbe blessings- enjoyed. Tranquility at home and peao ewitb other nations have prevailed. Frugal industry Is regaining its merited recognition and its merited rewards gradu ally, but, under tbe Providence of God, surely, as we trust, tbe nation is recovering! from tbe lingering results of a dreadiul civi strife. For these and all other' morales vouchsafed it becomes us as a people to re turo heartfelt aod grateful acknowledge ments, and witb our thanksgiving, we may unite in prayers lor tbe cessation of loca and temporary sufferings. I therefore, recommend tbat on Thursday, the 27th day ol November next, tbe people meet in tbeir respective places of worship to make tbeir acknowledgement lo Almighty God fur His bounty and Ills protection, aod to offer up praises for their continuance. Io witness whereof I bave hereunto set my baod and caused the seal of tbe United States to be affixed.
