Mr.' Blanchard; upon taking the stand,
- said that the National Committee, of which
he was Chairman, was appointed by a Con
vention held in Aurora, Illinois, in which
six States were represented. He then read
the call, after which he said:
It was now nearly thirty years since a
Young Men's Anti-Masonic Convention
was held in Allegheny county, at which a
letter was read signed -bY Daniel Webster,
stating "that the secret orders of this coun
tty were wron,g in their foundation,
law.'
that they ought to be prohibited by"
He quoted the, words he said, not because '
they were stated or written by Daniel Web
ster, but because they were the universal.
sentiment of the christian community east
and west.
The sentiment of the west at that time,
he said, was, "that membership in secret
organizations was inconsistent with the ,
Christian religion." He referred to a Con
vention held in the graveyard at Grey
Fryer's Church thirty years ago, where a
number of Presbyterian ministers had
agreed in solemn compact to "stand up for
the religion of Christ and oppose the relig
ion invented by men-v- He referred-to the of Morgan, who, he said, had
been hauled through a thickly settled
con my in the'State of New York in a y el
low coach, a distance - of a hundred miles,
and said that there- were •gocd 'men con-
nected with the affair, and it was for this
reason that the people opposed the organ':
zation. He said that the history of the
anti-Masonic movement had proven. that a
religions evil could not be cured by a polit
ical movement, and recommended prayer.
The meeting was then' leain prayer b

to Fifth street, scattering the furnittire with
which the wagon was loaded along the
street.. the rattle and noise of which ap
peared to increase his fright and give addi
tional speed to his already rapid pace r He
turned down, ?street. 'running- at - a
fearful gait, and when opposite the Chroni
cle office, the driver lost his , balance and
was thrown from the wagon into the mud
in the middle of the street, from which he
was extricated in a most deplorable condi
tion, so far as his clothes were concerned,
but fortunately without having received -
any bodily injury. The horse being now
free from all restraint'except,that imposed
by the light wagon to which. he was at
tached. contined his run nt an increased
rate of speed, turning down Wood street,
which he followed to the wharf, where he
was.stopped in. his wild career by running
ti
Into a pile of pig metal. Strange to say;
the wagon was but slightly inj bred, but the
horse was considerably used up.

From various reliable sources of infor
mation we are prepared to believe that, the
oil excitement-is about againto Mint forth,
but not in such wild form as marked the
early development of the trade in these
sections. The busineas hagsunk to a legit
imate basis. The operations have lost the
fancy color imparted by &Nikita figures,
and the work of developillient goes on
quietly and orderly. The striking of a
new well is marked no longer by a rush to
the regions of half crazed speculators will
ing to venture their bottom dollar in secur
ing space enough in close...proximity to
sink a pirte And - coax the
„wealth-JO
the 'surface.' Things : have changed; con
servatism reigns._: The oil lands have been
left Iwthepossesslon of manwhd brie sur
vived the financial revolution which swept
so ninny gilt edged companies from the sur
face, and depreciated certificate of stock to
the current value of ordinary wall paper.
Shrewd in business affairs, careful, but
reasonably_ venturesome, these rnenpursue
their business in n systematic manner, and
doubtless under their management the pro
duction of oil will be eventually brought
up to the same prolific yield as marked the
wild days of stock jobbing and gambling.
The supply held in the oil regions is very
considerable, but not so large as some may
imagine. There are many good producing,
wells whi ch are steadily °porta ed,th us daily
increasing the stock on band. The soecn- ,
lators in crude anticipate that they will re-'
alize before June five dollars per barrel for
oil stowed away in immense tanks through;
out the region. Col. James Bleakley and
Major S. • Kennedy, of Franklin., hold
nearly half a million of gallons, which we
presume hardly Cost them five cents per
gallon. They have been offered ten and
a half cents, but hold on expecting twelve
and a Judi before the expiration of the Ares.
ent month. Oil is destined to reach its full
ror approximate commercial value some I
time, and we are among those who believe
that whatsoever price it realizes during the
coming thirty days will prove the ruling
figures tbroughcait the summer. Of two 1
facts the dealers in petroleum can rest as
sured:
The production is not now in ex
cess of the demand. 2. The supply on hand 1
is not so great as to preolude the possibility
of exhaustion by any excitement iii the.
the market. -We should•imaginethet 003-`
ling - short would be a - dangerous experi
ment unless good round prices were ob
tained. Six months hence , there mav be
more brilliant prospects for cheap oil, as
many persons vested with capital arepre
paring to enter into the producing husiness,
, and new developments, may be looked for
daily. -

• ling springs of sulphur water of high
-medicinal qualities. It is - just the place to
spend the summer vacation from the toils
and troubles of business. The spring water
is so strongly, impregnated with:sulphur
that we would imagine tife place specially
attractive to mothers with marriageable
daughters—sulphur being so good an
auxiliary for match making., The hotel
keeps a full force of help, and has a good
stock of sailing boats, pleasure yawls and

the,nse of guests. t We
spent 'pleasant day here - and Were 'not
only delighted with the beautiful scenery
surrounding the hotel, but likewise with
the clever management of the house itself.
Many Pittsburgh gentlemen spent a while
with their families here last summer and
have secured apartments for the coming
season, which speaks volumes for the new
place. 'The section is pros erbially healthy,
no damp! air arising from the lake, and as
it is within an hour's ride of either Frank
lin or - Jamestown being located midivay
between those two points. The season at
the Lake House will commence_ a few days
hence,. and it promises to prove abrilliant
and "successful one: If our friends want
healthy recreation, solid enjoyment, fresh,
- tempting,
.old .fashioned meals,. they -will
come this xda* and partake of the hospitali
ty of Maj. nennedy and his estimable lady.
JAMESTOWN.
. This town iS making' Mrisideratlelead
way and boasts quite a gain in population
during the past few years. The finest build
ing we observed is the private residence of
Dr. Gibson. At the CornelDiouse, where
the passengers dine, we found our old hotel
acquaintance in charge, Mr. G, Griswoldy.
formerly of the Reed Reuse, Erie. This
ntlemaik has had large experience and we
ate glad to know that he is recuperating the
tbrtune lost by the fire which swept away
the Reed House. Let none of our friends
;pass his door without making a call. In
onr next we will endeavor to furnish a more
precise account of the operations going on
in the oil regions. ,

The Raman System is constantly under

disturbarte of this bahmce may be ef
-
fected, make it a wonder t—t the full Niger
of health is ever enjoyed by any.
In fact, but few persons do pass any con-,
siderable time of life without experiencing
some of the aches, pains, weaknesses, sick
nesses, etc. which are the monitors of ex-.
isting,diselse. • • •
These monitors, should • never be passed,
over lightly, nor considered slightly t . as

these are some of the advantages we pro
pose to gain by a scientific examination of
the Urine.
The facts which the optical apjnyirances,
chemical analyses,,and microscopic obser-
Vations reveal. to thephyalcian, compensate
• more than a hundred , fold,,for the time re
quired to make the examination.
They throw such a flood of - light upon the
nature of the disease, and give such dem
onstrative evidence of the , extent, that both
the kind and degree may often be definitely
determined by an examination of the urine
alone, and, whatever the disease, seldom
fails in• furnishing us with the clue to the
principles upon which it is to be tested.
No one should disregard the slightest
feeling of indisposition no more thanthe se
verest suffering, but repair at once to .a
physician whose whole time and attention
is devoted tothe discovery of the best mode
of relieving the most afflicted, in the short
eat time, and at the least possible expense.
