Kentucky.
(From tbe Louisville Courier-Journal.
The arrival at tbe Fourteenth street de
pot yesterday of a train of oil task cars
from Cleveland Indicated a new and inter
es'.log trade feature tor our oily, and one of
(treat importance. A Courier-Journal re
porter visited tbe train, and found Messrs.
Cbess and Carley of the Arm ol Chess, Car
ley A Co., proprietors of tbe Great South
ern Oil works, Mr. E. M. Warfield, inspec
tor of oil, and others, witnessing tbe first
transfer ol oil from the train to otber lank
ears on tbe Nashville railroad track.
Through tbe liberality of Horace Scott,
Esq., and the Bridge Company, an elevated
railway bas been constructed alongside ol
the Nashville track, upou wbicb tbe tank
cars are run, plaoiog tbem considerably
higher than tbe other ears, and the oil Is
transferred from ono tank car to another by
bese attached to ibe bottom of tue tanks no
lb elevated railway. This operation is
ncoumpllsned without wasto and with tbe
utmost celerity Tb northern ail thus
transferred is taken down tbe Nashville
rood to the oil work) at tbe ' foot of Sixth
street. Tbe tanks are boiler shape, painted
white, tweolytbree lent long, and Jive feet
in diameter, with a dome to allow lor tbe
swelling of oil in warm weather. Each
link coutains 3,000 gallons ol oil, and rests
In a cavity on a : platform with patent
springs.
This train of tank cars, ten or fifteen to
number, It Is Hie initial movement of an en
lerprlse ol contiderable importance. Messrs
Chess. Carley A Co., will run several train!
ot these ears each mouth from Cleveland,
the line known as the "Great Southern Oil
Line,' and have made curtain contracts
with tlio largest Pennsylvania .11 concerns
to connect the great Pennrylvania oil re
gioos with tboae ol Soutbvrn Konltioky, and
secure a Continuous supply ol oil in Louie
ville for tbe consumption in the Southern
Gulf States which amounts to uboul 150,000
barrels annually. This trufllc bas i;uue
through otber oities hittiurlo. At tbe oii
works, lout ol Sixth street, the preparations
lor storing O'l are immense. The six tank",
for soma time in unt by the firm, oold alio,
gelher 141,000 gallous; one has just been
erected with, a opacity ul 244,000 gallons'
and eou'.hsr is under construction wnich
wlil hold 120,000 gallons. It is contempla
ted to have Ibe oil tunk 0ais return from

Letter From Plnmcr.
Flumkr, Nov. 13. 1873.
Ed. Recohd: TtieCnural Uoion or this
place gave a musical entertainment in tbe
United Presbyterian church l,st evening,
wbicb, considerering the unpleasant weath
er and bad roads, was a decided success.
Tbe time or tue concert was decided
upon anil anuouoced some two weeks since,
when '-the sna ibone, and tbe skies were
blue". But alas! fur the calculations ul
him who pljces bis dependunce upon "Old
Probabilities!" Four days previous to toe
appointed evenitic, the rain ami snow he
gnu to pell down alternately and our good
roads to disappear. Thus who were inter
esled in tbe success of tbe concert, predicted
a certain failure. But tbe "bins were post
ed," tbe tickets war circulated, and there
was no sucb word as tail. So despite tbe
rain, mud, and dark ess, seven o'clock last
evening found the class assembled, but el
most despairing of an audience. However
lbs citiZ-ms ol tbe placo came out in good
numbers, thus greatly eucauragiug tbe cl s
aad showing a general appreciation of thai,
endeavors to provide a pleasant eveniug
entertainment, and Iroin Petroleum Centre
tbey came, tbaaks to tbe Rkcokd.
Tbe programme consisted uf Choruses,
Anthems, Quartettes, Duetts, Solos, etc.;
Mrs. M. Brandon, olrrut(lio, was organist
and fully sustained tbe bappy reputation
she bas already gained in musical circles.
The mutio by tbe 0 ass was well rendered
showing oareiul drilling and marked tin
provetneut. The pieces uieetlug most
general favor were tbe Anthem "Awake!
put on thy strength," and tbe Chant "Ab.de
with me."
Miss Bonner sang "I'd like to change my
name" eliciting hearty applause.
Mrs. William McCray, Mrs. Brandon,
Prof. Boynton and Mr. Wadded sang "The
dearest spot ou Earth"- a sweet son oi
home was Ibis, well sang. A charming lit
lie song "Over There," was sung by Misses
Tiliie and Annie Sbreve, Rev. Uobertsou
and Mr Robert Shieve. Mr. Jobu Wadded
sang "A trip to Niagara Falls," which was
received with applause and geueral laugh
ter, j
Mr. C. Boyes taug "Rocked in the cradle
of tbe Deep," in excellent style.
Prof. Boyuton, assisted by Mrs. McCray-
Miss Bonner, and Mr. Boyce sang tbe comi
cal song "Tue tiiugin' Skewl."
By n quest tbe Shreve brothers and Bisters
oC Miller Farm, assisted by others, sang
'Nearer Home," which met with so much
favor at a prevluus coucert.
Although tbe weather was so very aula-
vorable and the roads almost impassable.
the class have no excuse tor complaint
either with regard to tbe members of the
audience,or tbe amuiint realized financially..
It is the intention, however, to repeat tbe
Concert as soon as tbe roads become good,
when we bespeak lor tue class a good audi
ence wbicb tbe it eflorts and success richly
deserve.
Tbe programme of tbe concert In con'.eru
plation,wbile rouaisiiug substantially of the
same performances, will have so tnaoy new
and good ones added to it, that it will in
reality he a net programme. It is also
proposed to bring Ibe little folks forward
more prominently.
The Cuorsl Union is striving bard to ,.t
tain to true excellence in singing. Tbe
efforts of tbe class and its aole coniluc or
Ceraiuly deserves success. We hope ail
friends and lovert ol muslo win encourage
tbem by their presence and aid.

On the other hand, Hosteller alleges that
