Facts ro facts, and figures themselves
cannot lio. During the lt esven or night
weeks, not only has there been a great
atriukage in the values of property tbrogtw
out the Country, but the derangement in
business his brought on almost a perlect
paralysis.. It would be very unwise for
people to attempt tocloso their eyes to the
present situation, as it really eiltls. We
believe that there has never befoie been in
the history of the country such a Gnancial
dyspepsia as at present. It must be ad
tnitted that business has boen greatly over,
done, and that transactions of every class
have been carried on with too little econ
omy. Instead of Ibritt the habits of people
have generally tended to extravogaooe. It
ail that has been wasted during the past
few years, could have been carefully laid
away for timely me, there would ba no such
stringency as is now witoestea and felt.
Not only has there bean a want of persist
nt and sharp atteutlon in efforts to keep
down expenses, but too many seem to fear
that economy on their part as to small
liems of expense would ba regarded bv their
acquaintances as penurlousness. People
have not feared half as much the oonse
quences of getting Into debt, ss that they
would not ba considered respoctablo, if they
they should fail to support what Is usually
termed style.
We must now come down to actual necev,
Hies, and live on cbrn meal and buckwheat
cake.', and weir out ail our old clothes.
Costly feasts must be dispensed with; at
least postponed to more comfortable times.
It is a good time to banish luxuries, and go
back to a primitive style of living. Young
ladies, who have beeo relloved by servant
girls Iron kitchen work, should djw edu
cate themselves for praotical Mueewives.
It is a shame for auy man, won. an or child
in the present state ol tfftirs not a do
something to self support, II a servant girj
can earn her living by work In the kitchen,
the daughters of every poor man should be
willing to do the sarao or something else
useful. Aod there are many poor men just
now. It Is just as well to own It. It Is
useless to attempt to conceal the fact from
tho world. The sooner people make up
their minds to give up style, and set there
selves at work to earn a living , by almost
any kind of drudgery, the sooner they will
relieve themselves of much unhappinecs.
There la this which we may be tbanklul for
there la no epidamio prevailing. Good
health seems to exist almost everywhere.
So people can go to work, aod, by toll and
and practice or frugality, earn lor them
selves real prosperity. Iflhls shall be uo
dertaken, good limes will return sooner
than is expected, and when they come in
Ibis way they will, ptasees a substantial
character.
A petiy case, which shows over what
trifling things neighbors will qiarrnl, was

Dissolution of Hie Oil Produc
ers' Kailroati Company.
A movementj-has been going for several
days past lo sccomplisb a dissolution of the
Oil Producers' Railroad Company. Tbe
amount ol stock subscribed was about 5350,.
000, of which ten per Cent, was paid iu as
prescribed by law. We have lieeu repeat
edly asked for the past two months lo ad
vocate Iu our columns the dissolving of tbe
Company, so til it tho stockholders could re
ceive bick tbe amount of money already
paid , as well as to prevent tbo possibility
of any lurtber assessments upon tbem. But,
inasmuch as we were accusal last year ol
hostility to tbe enterprise, we have declio
d to give advice in relation to it, lest our
motives; Bbuuld be subjected to still further
misconstruction. Now, however, that tbe
movemoat to dissolve tbe company has been
commenced, and is likely to be brought lo a
speedy consummation, we have no besita
lion in oayinii, that, whatever may have
been originally thought, in regard to Ibe
nronrietv and exuediencv of buildlnor thl

no doubt now that the stockoolders ought; to
have back their money and be relieved from
auy mure assessments. Tbe redistributing
ol $20,000 just uow among tbe commuoily
would do a gieat deal of good. We under
stand that Mr. G. C. Hyde, the Treasurer
ol the company, who holds a poition of tbe
money in tbe Second National Bank, Is
especially aoxioua to have tbe money paid
back to tbe stockbpldera. This is highly
oommuodable iu Mr. Hyde. Titusville
