GENERAL NOTES.
During an Lplscopal Church entertain

and several ladies were injured, one
probably fatal.
The Tribune says: Aooording to the
latest returns the Democratic majority in
the next House will not be less than IS nor
more than 20. This is a great falling off
from the majority of the present House, but
by no means so great as a good many Re
publican newspapers have''' represented.
Many have recently insisted on a Demo
cratic majority of only four, while some
have actually claimed the House as Repub
lican. Washington, November 19. Senator
James S. Kutan, of Bearer, Secretary
Quay's right bower, has been appointed
Collector of Customs at Pittsburg, in place
of Steel, resigned. Rutan was here Fri
day and Saturday, with Treasurer Magee,
of Pittsburg. He was backed by Mackey,
Krrett and Don Cameron, and had an easy
victory. His appointment will be very
generally acceptable to the Republicans in
Western Pennsylvania.
Chicago, III., November. 18. At a late
hour last night United States 'Detective
Officers Tyrell and Washburn, with the aid
of the local deteolive officers, captured the
two men who attempted to steal the re
mains of PreeideDt Lincoln from the vault
in Springfield, Illinois, on the night of No
vember 7. Their names are Terrence
Mul'.en, alias "T. Durnan," the proprietor
of "the Hub Saloon," No. 294 West Madi
son street, where the arrests were made,
and Jack Hughes, alias "J. Smith," an old
eeunterfslter connected with the notorious
Ben Boyd.
New Tork, November 18. The first race
of fifty miles, of the series of fifty, one
hundred, and one-hundred-snd-fifty .mile
races, for $2,000 on each race, between
John Murphy and Captain Mowry, of the
Australian team, came off to-day on Fleet
wood Park traok. Captain Mowry rode
mnstangs. or horses of California breed,
and Murphy rode bred hack horses, both
changing horses frequently. Mowry was
the quickest mounter, but Murphy had the
factest horses. The race was won by
Murphy, bis lime, Including changes, be
ing 2 hours and 25 minutes. Captain
Mowry's time was 2 hours, 2(1 minutes and
20 seoonds. The winner's average time
per mile was 2.S1.
Th disarment of the Indians Is progres
sing very rapidly, that is to say, a great
number of guns, pistols and knives are be.
ing colleoted by the troops, but singularly
enough, the guns, are generally flint-locks
or old fashion smooth-bore muskets, the
pistols are on the old holster pattern a
sort of hand blunderbuss while the knives
are the dullest, worst hack-up "butchers"
ever feen. It Would be bard lo scalp a
turnip, much less a human being with them.
So uniformly bad are the arms' and so in
capable of doing any mischief, that the
Generals In command begin to suspect that
Lo has hidden his rifles and revolvers, aod
has taken this opportunity, of making a lit
tle speculation with the weapons of bis an
eestors.
Close figures on the political complexion
of the Forty-fifth Congress bold that there
will be tie, or possibly a Republican ma
jority of one or two. If the Democracy
keeps on counting out Republicans by
fraud, as they did in Virginia, Missouri
and Maryland, we cannot see what is to
prevent their having a good working ma
jority. The New York Times sayst
Our latest dispatches leave the com
plexion of the House of Representatives
147 Democrats to 148 Republicans, with
three seats vacant. The only elements of
uncertainty in this enumeration are the fol
lowing:: In Florida we claim two Repub
lioans; In Louisian we conoede two seaU to
the Democrats and claim one Republican;
there are two seats returned as Demooratio
which will be contested by Republicans,
and oue Republican seated whose election
will be contested by a Democrat. ' There is
a strong probability that when the returns
are complete, tne assumed uemocratio ma
jortty of four will be wiped out. and the
complexion of the next House will depend
on the result of the New Hampshire election
in March.
Two thousand umbrellas have been lost
and found during the Great Exhibition
upon the grounds, to say nothing of 1,000
parasols. Most of these have returned at
the headquarters. The umbrellas remain
ing are said to be so many melancholy and
ragged and fractured specimens, mostly of
eotten, as umbrellas lost and not claimed
are apt to be. The immorality connected
with this implement is sad te think of, Per
sons otherwise honest steal it, borrow and
forget to return It, and claim ownership in
it with a reckless audacity. Not one un
brella in ten thousand has about it any dis
tinguishing characteristic; and unlike tho
hat, this article fits one man as well as
another, and will keep the person who
steals it, as dry Jas it kept its lawful owner.
The Scriptures seem to be a little at fault.
The rain does not fall on the Unjust man
who has stolen an umbrella, and he keeps
as dry as If he were righteous. How many
persons have had their joy blighted by los
ing their umbrellas at the Centennial, and
by thus o atoning great colds, we cannot say
but we can sadly conjecture that the Mr.
Candles have hal more than one night's
rest ruined by the wailings of Mrs. Candle
ever the missing property. Pit taburgh

Birthday Tarty.
On Saturday last Miss Jennie Holes
completed her tenth year, on which
occasion a party was given to her
little associates, and a jolly time they
had of it. We could see the little
folks In their neat dresses and bright
ribbons, from our buck window, and
we enjoyed the party as well as those
that participated. It almost made us
wish we were a boy again, for if there
Is anything in this world that is
pretty it Is little girls, and, we might
add, they seem prettier as they grow
older. But, all the little girls had a
nice time, about five o'clock they bad
supper, and in the evening they had a
little dance, and then went home. We
wish Miss Jennie many returns of her
birthday, and her little play mates
many returns of like festive ocasions.
We give below the names of the young
Misses who attended the party.

Theodore Tilton's Lectnre.
The tickets are now in market for
Tilton's Lecture. They can be bought
at any of the stores in town. (Secure
ticket at once for the church will only
teat our hundred people and positively
only four hundred tickets will be told,
Of this lecture the Boxlon Journal
speaks as follows: The interest to
see Mr. Theodore Tilton and to hear
what he had to say about "The
Problem of Life1' attracted, notwith
standing the drenching rain storm last
evening, an audience which com
pletely filled Music Hall in every part
and was only equalled this season
when Wendell Phillips delivered his
oration on O'Connell. The character
of the audience was very marked, be
ing of a high order of intelligence, and
would have proved flattering to any
lyceum "star." The applause which
greeted him Increasing in volume and
ending iu cheers, evidently pleased
and encouraged him, and be said, in
return for the cordiality of his recep
tion and for their braving the stormy
weather he gave them a thousand,
aye, ten thousand, thanks.
The Springfield Republican, says
Mr. Tilton's address was really a high
moral lesson throughout. Eloquence,
analysis, analogy, imagery, descrip
tion, deduction all were there, and
their effect was unmistakable. Ashe
warmed with his subject, Mr. Tilton
rose to that fervid, splendid oratory
that seems aa essentially his own as
the air itself. It reminded his hearers
of old of the days when his voice was
a clarion call against slavery, and his
gray hairs now seemed the emphasis
of time on the ardent nature that
sooke them.
Orders for excursion tickets may be

Superintendent with rtarcps enclosed.

The Oil Held.
The recent strikes of so many good
paying wells In the Warren oil dlstrlot
have caused our streets to bo filled
with new faces, and our hotel keepers
wear the most smiling of countenan
ces, for their houses are filled nearly
every night. In fact all kinds of busi
ness sympathizes with the prospective
greatness and value of our oil Interests.
Few derricks arc going up in the
lower district, and tho eagerness to
secure leases is nearly as great as in
July last. The Hines well, and the
well of Nesbltt, Just east of the Glade
City scnool house, ere doing splen
didly, M-hlle the well of Struthera &
Wetmore on tho side hill above, gives
promise of being one of the beet yet
found. It is a regular gusher, and it
is said by persons of veracity to have
produced 16 barrels in 15 minutes, on
yesterday evening. Drilling is still
con tiu tied that the proper depth may
be reached, when the whole story will
be told.
Several other wells in the immedi
ate vicinity of the above nnmed wells
have fine indications, and in a day or
two will without doubt muko their
owners quite satisfied. Tho Humon
well was torpedoed, and now yields
about ten barrels. A number of what
were called dry holes, und were left to
slumber, have, within a week, filled
up with oil, and arrangements are be
ing made to pump them; and many
think they will prove profitable.
The oil wells are holding up in their
production, and it now seems probable
that many will pay for themselves in
a short time, and will yield dividends
that will both please and astonish.
All doubt bus vanished ns to the stay
ing quulities of our wells, nud all tho
croaklngs of interested parties cannot
change the fact that the Warren Oil
Field is the best, and the expenses of
developing lt;the cheapest in tho entire
State of Pennsylvania. Warren

Items from the Brookville Republi
can:,
On Monday morning last a sad and
fatal accident occurred at Greensburg,
resulting In the instant death of Jas.
T. Miller, a resident of Scotidalc, that
county. Mr. Miller was in Greens
burg on business, and having transac
ted It, went to the depot with the in
tention of taking the train on tho
Southwest Railroad for his home.
When the mail train east, over the
Pennsylvania Railroad, came along he
boarded it and did not discover that he
was on tho wrong train uutil it began
to move. In endeavoring to jump off
while tho cars were in motion, by
some means or other he was tnrowu
under the wheels, and was lltte rally
ground to pieces. Ho was a gentle
man who enjoyed a large circle of ac
quaintances, and leaves a wife and
four children to mourn his sudden
death.
On Saturday moraine last at an
early hour, two brothers named Rid
dle, at Springdalc, Allegheny county,
while looking after burglars, mistook
each other for the burglar, and each
fired their weapon, one receiving a
bullet in his thigh and the other a
charge of shot in tho breast. The
agonized cries of the brothers made
known to the rent of the family the
terrible mistake that had been made.
The wounds of the young man shot In
the breast are Quite serious, while the
other's is more painful than dungcr

Chestnut, of this place, a resident of
Lewistown, Pa., while hunting on

CURIOUS FACTS THAT NEED INVES
TIGATING A SUQOESTIVS LETTER.
Sunbury, November 18.
A man, with a boy answering the
description of Charlie Ross, is at pres
ent held at the Central Hotel, this
place. His arrest was made under the
following circumstances: As Tollee
Officer Thomas Gannon was on bis
way from Oil City to Sunbury last
night on official duties, le observed a
German got on . the train with a
young, bright looking lad, aged about
seven years, at St. Mary's. He was
evidently no child of the German's
and on entering into conversation
with the boy his suspicions were
aroused, and he determined to arrest
them, as from the resemblance, bo
thought the boy to .be Charlie Roes.
On arriving at Williamsport bo
promptly telegraphed Captain Roacb,
Pennsylvania Railroad detective at
Sunbury, who met the train at about
1 o'clock this morning and concluded
to hold them. Mr. Boss was tele
graphed to and a telegraphic conversa
tion was held between him and tho
boy through the Western Union
operators at Sunbury and Philadel
phia, but the boy' failing to answer
certain questions, Mr. Ross requested
that his picture be taken and sent to
him and that the parties be watched
until hewasheurd from. But Captain
Roacb, acting under tho advico cf
several doctors, who examined tho
boy, and prominent citizens hero
determined to hold hiui and mailed
the picture. A book was found on the
persons of tho Gcrmau with tho
names of Harrisburg, Willlanisport
HummeMown, Beaver and different
points written in it; also a letter,
writen in German, asking about tho
boy, and whether tho party should
keep him; and saying they would give
seven dollars a week, etc. Tho boy
says he came from St. Mary's whero
he was kept by a woman, who kept
him in all the time; also that he had
been In New York, but was taken
from there to Wilcox Pa., and drovo
in a buggy at night from Wilcox to
St. Mary's. A card was found on the
boy, and he said a man gave it to him
who played cards with his father at
St. Mary's. He had hiB hair cut
lately. He said it was done yesterday.
It is done in a bungling manner. A
Germantown street car ticket was
also found in the book, und different
addresses of bouses in riiiludelphia
and Hoboken, New York. If the boy
Is not Charles lioss, there is some
mystery connected with the nlluir, as
the doctors here pronouce him no son
of tho mau who is with him, and his
talk shows him to be a great deal
more intelligent than the man with
him. A gentleman who was horo
this evening says he lived in German-
town, and often saw Charlie, and
says he believes it is the boy. At all
events, he will be held until Mr. Ross
is again heard from, or both will be
taken to Philadelphia to-night.
THE MYSTERIOUS LETTER.
Tho following is a copy of tho
German letter found in the man's
posession: .
Williamsvlllo, October 31, 1876. To
Beit Friend. I have received your
letter, and seen in it that you wish
that I should take your Charles to us
again. What I am willing to do Is
this; First, If you send me a letter of
power so that I might have a right to
take him, for she (or you) could say I
had no right to take him; also, wish
everything that you wish that I
should fetch along. Second I would
like to know where you live. Third.
I ask five dollars to fetch Lira, which
want before I have him. Fourth, I
ask :cven dollars per month until
April 1. Don't be angry at me about
my writing, for you know that I have
five children to keep and have noth
ing to sell this year, for I had a poor
harvest. If you should agreo with
my conditions then answer as soon as
possible, then I will fetch him as soon
as I am anthorized, and will treat him
as well as my own children. I would
send him to school, give him his
board, do his washing and take care o1
him. Your Sincere Friend.
