Fajta for Voters.
Wo commend the attention of voters
to the following: The new Constitution
forbids all persons from voting unless
they have been assessed at least two
months and paid their taxes at least one
month before the date of the election.
No one of foreign birth can vote unless
in addition to the above, he has been
unturalizcd a month previous to the
lection.
The date of holding the next election
is Tuesday, November 2d.
Friday, October 1st, is the last day
lor naturalization papers.

Petroleum.
The special report on the petroleum
'of Pennsylvania, its production, trans
portation, manufactures and statistics, is
oue of the most interesting volumes ever
isiucd under State nwspkea. The gen
eral details of the history of the diseov-
firJlt veif ' ty'Plk Je.JiiAkin ofthe
the enormous enterprise in the same
direction which followed, the big prices
which crude oil commanded in 1864
($14 per barrel,) and the development,
o( the BennehofT, Pioneer, Stevenson,
Tidioute, Triumph, Pleasautville and
Shamberg oil regions, are tolerably
familiar to most of our readers; but the
ingenious researches of Lestjuereux,
fixing the geological and geographical
distribution of petroleum deposits and
fucoidal remains, which are published in
the pamphlet under notice, would con
tain much of novel interest to those
who have not investigated the subject.
The opinion most firmly maintained is
that petroleum is the fossil product of
Kolt sea atiimuls and sea vegetable?, and
Lesqucrcux illustrates this view in a
very captivating and convincing way.
At the date of the report, which was
prepared last December the tankage of
iho oil region amounted to over 3,100,
000 barrels, and the balance of trade
was of course disturbed by this great
production. The report submits that
wc arc producing at a reckless haste,
and makes this very suggestive state
ment. "When we carefully consider
the short life of the best tetritory that
has been fouud, how comparatively
small is the relative proportion of the
actual producing area to the entire re
gion, it becomes a serious question even
in the lace of tLo cuormous production
of to-day, whether we shall in this Com
monwealth continue to supply petroleum
in the next generation." It is con
ceded; though; that American and for
eign petroleum ceasu to be obtained, the
world would bs amply supplied with
shale oil, so that we uced not fear be
ing left in utter darkness.
The refining capacity of the United
States at the date of the report was put
ut 40,570 barrels per day, of which
Pittsburgh was credited with 0,090 bar
rels per day, Cleveland 11,732 burrels
per day, tho Oil Region 9,231 barrels
per day.
As to general hints, facts, etc , in the
report, wo notice the statement that the
safety of all oil is increased by age.
Left stauding undisturbed, the lighter
parts pass gradually off, but tho oil will
then burn with a dull light. The greater
the illuminating power, the greater the
danger. Church Run, near Titusv ille
yields the best crude of about 4G
gravity, yielding a greater percentage
oi refined than any other. The oil at
Pithole was tho lightest ever found, the
gravity reaching in some cases as high
as bV. The standard fire test recog
nized by Great Britain is greater than
that of Germany uud America, but the
report says that "the earlier use of the
shade pils there has introduced a great
number of burning fluids which are
ically more dangerous than any petro
leum." Tbo predominance which our
oil has obtained is due to tho fa 3 1 that
it contains a greater proportion of the
lighter products than any surface oil
found elsewhere. Nature has distilled
it for us from the shales and we take
directly from the well an equivalent to
the first product ol the coal oil still, but
containing also a much greater propor
tion of those members whicli possess il
luminating properties
The use of petroleum and its kindred
hydrocarbons for the purpose of fuel is
treated in the report and ou the ques
tion of relative cost as compared with
coal an adverse opinion given. Ihis
matter, however, is yet in its infancy.
Washiugtou, August 21). There was
a very heavy raiu storm here to-day,
two inches and eighty-oue hundredths
having fallen between 7 33 this morn
ing and 4.35 this afternoon. The rain
at do other point in the United States
during the same time exceeded the
fourth ot an inch. There is considera
ble damage to property all over the city,
and particularly on Pennsylvania
avenue, caused by water in tee sewers
backing up and biting the stores of
Drominent business houses, causing
heavy destruction of goods stored
therein. In the vioinity of the Balti
more and Potomao depot the streets
were thoroughlyj flooded. J he street
railroad tracks were submerged in
some places to the depth of more than
s loot.
Naw York, August 28 At the exe
cutive office of the Western Utioo
Telegraph Company this afternoon, a
reporter ascertained that a committco of
that company and of the Atlantic and
Pacifio Telegraph Company have effec
ted a consolidation in favor of a lease of
the property ot the Atlantic and Paci
fio Company, subjeot only to ratifica
tion by the respective boards of direc
tors. The Atlantic and Paoifio has
been rited at a capitalization of $2,
500,000 instead of 510,000,000 stock
outstanding, but the committee decline
to state for the present whether the
rental is to be fixed, or graduated on
the profits of the Western Union Company.

A Funeral at Heading llstorbei the Se
cern suicide case.
On Friday after noun the funeral cf
Mrs. Philip Bissinger and ber three
children, whoso death by drowning oc
curred in Heading on Tuesday, took
place from the house of the busbaud
and father.
Tho utmost excitement prevailed and
a very large concourse of pci pie fol
lowed the bodies to tho grave, the pro
cession comprising over thirty carriages,
and not les than 1,000 people on foot.
For an hour before the time for the
funeral, the house was surrounded by
excited people, and the excitement was
so great that a dotachment of police
kept, guard on the premises.
The circumstances attending the
death of the mother and children were
such as crente the strongest interest,
which partake very largely of indigna
tion. Philip Bissinger is tho keeper of
a saloon on Penn street, in this place,
and his family consisted of bimsolf, his
wife, a woman of about thirty years,
and three small children, a boy and two
girls. His mother also made her home
with his family. Of late, it is said,
there lias been considerable UDhappincss,
caused, the neighbors say, by the treat
ment of Mis. Bitsingcr by her husband
and his motiicf. The report commonly
accepted is that Bissinger had bestowed
his affections upon an unmarried wjman
t-m pluladelt'hia, whom iiilULUl'J'
had nl rni aoVou ...... .My accor
ded an authority denied his wife. On
Monday, as is stated, a quarrel took
phce between husband and wife on this
account, and he ordered her out ol his
sight.
He told her lie would give her ?2,
000 to go away, and return no more, she
to take the two girls, and be to keep the
boy, and he threatened to kill her if
she returned.
This prospect of separation from one
of her children, added to the previous
uuhappiness of her position, manifestly
preyed upon her mind, and she was
very much depressed. On Tuesday,
accompanied by her three children, she
left the house and entered a street ear
in which shj rode out of the city for a
distance of about two and a half miles,
to a point ou the batik of the canal. She
bad a basket with her, and this she pro
ceeded to fill with stones, ber children
assisting her. Having filled the bas
ket, she bound it securely to her waist,
and tlun, taking a child under each arm
and holding the third child to her
breast, she jumped into the canal.
The cries of the children attracted
the attention ot a man who could not
swim, and before he could get help aU
were arownea. me bodies were re
covered and taken to the undertaker's
shop, where they were identified. They
weie removed to the house ol the bus-
band and lather, and he was notified of
the occurrence, receiving the news, it is
said while in company with the woman
who had caused tho uuhappiness. So
great was the indignation among the
people at large that a detachment ot
police was kept guarding his house
from the first uotil after the funeral.
It is stated that in the crowd in at
tendance not less thau fifty meD, and
even womeu, were armed with pistols
for the avowed purpose of shooting Bis
singer. He was guared by police all
the way to the grave and back, and as
a further protection the coffin contain
ing the little boy's body was placed in
the carriage with him.
When the bodies had been lowered
into tho graves, a part of the crowd
hooted ut Bissinger and a number ol
women endeavored to get at him. One
shot was fired at him without effect.
He was instantly hustled into the car
riage and driven off. Another shot
was fired at him in passing the gate, and
is supposed to have struck him as he
was carried from the carriage into the
house. Great indignation still exists,
and lynch law continues to be freely

Mr. Church, the English lockmaker,
in whose locks so many of his country
men place implicit faith as a protection
against thieves, has lately written a book,
in which he admits that no locks can
resists the efforts of accomplished
thieves, and extols the small terrier dog,
with a sharp bark, a3 the best possible
protection against burglars.
Velocipedes have been adopted by
the Italian army, and are used for the
conveying of dispatches from the
various corps to general headquarters.
Twenty tales an hour is the speed gen
erally attained, and so successful have
the experiments been that volooipcdes
have been ordered for all the corps o!
the army for the use of their several
couriers.
In July a diver in submarine armor,
working at a wreck on tbe coast olJN or
mandy, was seizod by a devil fish,
whicli held fast to a neighboring rock.
His comrade camo to bis assistance, and
was seized also. It was only with great
difficulty that they could give the signal
that tbey needed help. Others went
down. Cutlasses were brought and the
monster's arms were hewed off.
The wheat crop of Minnesota was too
much for the young grasshoppers ol
1875, and those pests were obliged to
leave growing plauts, which produced
about 32,000,000 bushels of grain. The
St. Paul J'ioneer Press estimates that
of this crop 25,000,000 bushels will be
for sale, and that it will bring to the
State over $23,0U0,U00, or more than
twice as much as was obtained for the
crop of 1874.
Professor Janney sends forward
most interestioK report on the Black
Hills exploration. Gold has been found
in deposits along the creeks in quan
titics sufficient to pay for the investment
of capital and labor in scientific mining.
There are also traces ot tho precious
metal in the foot bills, but tbe work of
developing it will be costly and difficult.
Notwithstanding these indications, Pro
fessor Janney does not consioer the tie
posits to be at all equal to those of Cali
fornia, but only as sufficient to aid in
the population and improvement of the
country, for which he principally relies
upon its tacuities lor stocs raising and
agriculture. The climate is cool and
healthy, and probably averages about
the same as that oi Maine or a. 11
