WEEK IN OBSERVER
ERIE, PENNa, DECEMBER. 20, 1867.
ItecanAst: ob. Co. Ta.x.Es.—The rates o f
taxation levied by the County Commissioners
in 1805 and '6O were twenty mills upon the (lob
lar,owing to the extraordinary drafts upon the
treasury oemsioned by the war. In 1897
they were reduced to ten mills, and it was
hoped that no necessity would be found for
increasing them. Owing, however, to the
heavy demands of the Poor Directors, the
Commissioners have been obliged to levy ten
mills additional for 1898, making the whole
levy twenty mills, or the same as in 1865 and
Ifitl. The total amount to be secured is
$150,000, of which $50,000 ate for the erec
tion of the new Alms House, ''oo,ooo for the
support of the poor during 1808, $30,000 fur
estimated county expenses, and $9,149 to pay
the usual State tax. It will be . perceived
that the appropriations for the benefit of the
poor are more than half the entire sum, be
ing $BO,OOO in all. These facts abundantly
bear out the comments we made some time
ago, and- are well calculated to startle the
community._ An expenditure of $BO,OOO for
poor purposes alone in a single year is calcu
lated to create anything but agreeable iensa
lions.
Tttta popttlarity of the Observer as an ad
vertising medium is better exhibited by the
healthy condition ‘vitich our columns devot
ed to that purjuise always present, thlm by
any language we could bestow on the sub
ject.. On many occasions during the last
year we have had more new advertisements
in one issue alone than either of the two
dailies contained in the whole week, and
this branch 01 our patronage is steadily upon
the increase, in spite of the-hard times. We
take siane pride in the reflection that a Wry
considerable portion of it comes from persons
of the opposite political thitlf, who by this
means give the cleari•st proot that their
party sympathies do not blind them to the
fact that the Observer is the he-t Ave! tisiii
meditim in the community. The circulation
of the paper has now• attained a standard
that makes it more desirable than ever as a•
channel of communication for our business
men, and mith the vast increase the Presi;
dential contest Of 1868' leads us confidently
to expect. - we shall be able to'present advan
tages in this respect unrivalled by any other
Erie journal. While seeking the favors of
our advertisibg patrons we do not intend to
be unmindful of the interests of our readers t.
and we are now making.arrangements for
maiming and otherwise improving the pa'
per, so as to enable us to fbrnish a larger
amount '—retofore.

On Thursday evening lastaboin nine o'clock,
as Mr. Moses Blakeskr, who lives one and
one-half miles nosh of Spartansburg, was
retiring to rest, Ite leant a strange noise just
outside the door. tpon ping out he found
a strange looking bundle 41010 up in an old
army blanket, from Illicit dt sound seemed
to proceed. Being a little frightened, Moses
went and called his wife, who made an ex
amination, when, to the astonis'imen t of both,
it proved to iw a female infant, two or three
days old. The little thing was properly cared
for. Tracks in the snow, supposed to be
those of a woman, were traced to the road.
The affair created considerable exeitentent.

WE understand that some of our young

been inaugurated in nearly every county of

will give a hearty response to the efforts of
the patriotic and enterprising ladies who have
taken the matter in hand.

LOCAL BREVITIES.
Br the opening of the Allegheny Valley
R. R., to Oil City, a continuous railroad line
is secured between Warren and Pittsburg,
down the Allegheny river. 1 movement is
on (hot to extend the route from Warren to
Buffalo, which, if successful, may cripple to
a considerable. extent the 4 Erie & Pittsburg
road, and-the coal interest. of our city. We
repeat, what-we have so often said, that un
less Erie is more alive to the movements go
ing on around her, and makes haste to im
prove her present facilities, she will wake.tp
sonic day to find herself deprived of
the most important elements of her prosperi

WE are glad to perceive by the Meadville
papers, that our county is not the only one
in this section that is moving terbuild a Sol
diers' and Sailors' Monument. A meeting to
consider• the proposition was held in that city
last week, which does not seem. however, to
have resulted in much else than talk. We
arc in hopes, though, that it may rerve to en
list public interest in the subject, and that
before two years have, passed the Hadieal
counties of the West will be able to boast
that they are no longer ex gilled by the Dem
ocratic counties of ELtern Pennsylvania in
exhibiting their regard for the memories of

`A ktEt.v military man, awl he a fourth
or fifth rate one, of whom it is not known
whether he ever held or expressed a political
opinion."—Rerrytran. •
This is the language bestowed by our co
temporary upon Maj. Gen. Hancock, an offi
cer whose record is among the brightest and
purest in the annals of the nation. The sol
diers of the - Army of the Potomac from this
section know hint well; and they know that
the assertion that he is " - a - fourth or fifth rate
military man," is a hise falsehood and libel.
They can see by the Republican's attack upon .
hint how much actuai regard the opposition
possess for those who have " perilled their
lives in defence of -the Union. Oh, loyalty,
where is fitly shame?
To Tuosa of our readers either in city or I
country who wish to purchase a home or I
farm, or dispose of the ones now in their
possession, we heartily recommend the firm
of Hayes & Kepler, Teal estate agents, corner
of the Reed House and French street. An
experience of a number of yeani . has giyen
themit thorough knowledge of every branch
of real estate operations, and they have at The
same timelntilt up at reputation for prompt
ness and integrity that -entitles them to the
warmest compliments. - We believe that in a
maloritv of. Cases the interests of both put
chaser and seller can be promoted by entrust
! ing their business to the hands of agents
well versed in real estate transactions, and
I wherever the services of such- may be re
quired, we kiwis* of no firm that will be like
ly to give better satisfaction than Messrs.
Hayes & Kepler.
"Barr milli it can hardly be said that the
Democrats have abandoned Grant in a politi
cal sense. They have never been with him,
nor be with them.. Loyal men---`nten who
sustained the government during the war'—
are the only ones that could ever have been
cousidereffbis frionds or supporters ; and how
many Democrats can be reckoned in this cat
ry ?"—Republican.
We 'deem it extremely doubtful if the au
thoi of the above knows • what consti
tutes a "loyal man,7 in the actual sense of
the word. If the kind of stuff that has been
palmed off as "loyalty" for the last seven
years is a genuine article, then the founders
of the b government and all our ablest states
men up to the year 1861 were the veriest
"disloyalists" that ever went unhunz.
TUE Girard Spectator haS found a compet
itor for Weston in the person of Rev. C. 14-
Shipttui n, pastor of the Universalist church
in that borongh,who,it Slays, "once walked for
ty-eight miles and preached three sermons in
twenty-foar, hours, between . midnight of Sat
urday and midnight or:Sunday. This was
accomplished without-any "s!cep •SaturdaY
night, as he left the bedside of a sick son,
where he had been watching for hOurs, to
start on his pastoral journey. It is hardly
necessary hi add that the Reverend gentle
man's congregation have never found it ne
cessary to send him to Europe on account of
any bronchial affection, or that he is no so

AT A meeting of the London Medical Sud
ety, Dr. Blake, a distinguished practitioner,
said that he was able to cure the most des

was connected with rheumatism, by applica

ta a impalpable powder, two drachms: ni
trous spirits of ether, seven drachms; naiz
and apply to the tooth. Will some, of our

Ttri funerals of S. W. Stewart, of Corry;
A. H. Spier, of North East and J. P. Hay
ward, of State Line,—three of the victims of
the railroad disaster—took place on Sunday
last. The shocking circumstances of their
death caused a general feeling of sympathy
in the communities where they resided, and
the funerals were, perhaps, the most largely
attended that have ever occurred' in the
county.
3loNn.tr last, the 22d• inst., was the short
est day of the season,
.the Sun rising at 7:22

A verb• pleasant and agreeable incident
occurred at Petroleum Centre ante dating
Christmas, - on the 23d inst,:showing that
noble hearts and appreciation still exist
among us, while selfishness and the doctrine
of "get, get—and hold" so universally pre
dominate. -
Edward Fox, Esq., for so many years the
efficient and succssful Superintendent of the
Central Petroleum Oil Co., representing mil
lions of capital, having retired for more lu
crative reasons from that position so popu
larly filled, conceived the idea and made it
practical, to remember favors received, and
purchased a very handsome and invaluable
American Chronometer watch, costing three
hundred dollars, to be properly engraved,
and without creating any expectation by
promise or otherwise, a ecidentally called at
a popular nucleus of business men of the
town, the Rochester House, where he met
quite a party of citizens, and among them
Geo. W. Wilson, Esq., formerly of Erie, late
Chief of Construction and . Architect for said
company,and us such associated with Mr. Fox,
whereupon in his own "Fox-y" way he look
occasion to remark that "gratitude was a
gteat virtue," &c., 45-:c., and that he intended
to remember his friends, thereupon uncere
.moniously placing in 'George's" possesion
the aforesaid watch, creating, like a bomb
shell, no Small stir in the group.
Apropos—a speech was called fOr, but as
George has hut one language for such occa
sions, and in that the tongue a silent actor
—none was made—but the health of Mr.
Fox was completely swamped amidthe flood
of viands so liberally poured forth by him—
language failed him and only because no
words ronld be found to exprcqs his "feel
ing."
The wee small hours found feasting, and
gmxl humor in the ascendant, and George's
silk hat and many others might have been
well compared with the broken down B. S.
refineries so famous in that region. Admir
ing the noble impulses of the generous Fox,
so indicative of the highest sense of honor,
gratitude to a friend, and believing we only
partially meet the desires of all present, we
cannot refrain, AlLEditor, from sending you
this item.
Letter from Brookville.
BROOKVILLE, PA., Dec. 12,18f.7.
EDITOR OnsFtviu:—Having a few spare
hours On my hands. and nothing to do, I will
write a few lines to your paper. Arriving-at
Brookville slier a very rough ride from Ritlg.
way in an old sletl,ive found the town crowd
ed with strangers and experienced some dif
ficulty in getting suitable lodging for the
night. The country between Ridgway and
Brookville is very hilly and almost entirely
covered with dense tbrests of pine and hem
lock, which is the source from which the
people of that section derive their livelihood,
lumbering being the only business. The land
is worth very little after the timber is 'taken
away. Brookville is rather an old looking
biwn of about two thousand inhabitants, and
is the county seat of Jefferson county. The
buildings all look old and dirty, and every
thing seems to wear that air of quiet indif
ferenee'that so often spreads its blighting in-
fittence over our country towns, burdening so
everely their onward march to improvement.
This week the town is all excitement. Court
is in session, Judge Campbell presiding. The
trial of Dean Graves, for nmnier, is in. pm
gress, anti the prospect seems fair for Dean to
try the virtue of hemp. He is charged with
the murder of ati old lady, about the middle
of February last. His accomplice, Charles
Chase,was hung in August last. A stroke of,
a hatchet finished their victim, and they then
robbed the house of some eight hundred dol
lars in gold. This crime gives a good . foun
dation -for an immense amount f gos-ip: -
We are pleased to learn that the
-county ofti
cers just sworn in are all good, sonnd Demo
crats of the most- radical stamp. This result
is owing to the steady, earnest work of the
old Democracy, for tile county has .been be
fore this Republican: We are hopeful for the
future. Grolte morrow we will leave the
town to itselfand try to enjoys stormy ride to
Ridgway, and then over a sun s•-drifted rail
road home_ Yours, li.:Ant-:. •

GREAT excitement -lets been caused in

Col. Parker, the Indian officer oh Gen:
Grant's snail He was to have been married
last week to one of the belles of that city,
but when the hour for k the ceremony_ arrived
he tailed to make his appearance, and was
'not found until the. next day. On the Sat
urday evening previods he called RI Gen.
Grant's residence and horrowed a military
t'
scarf He was down own a , while after
wards, and then went off alone to take a
walk. lie says that in the course ait he
met an Indian of the Six Nations, of which
ennfederation Parker is chief. The Indian
took hint to a room, gave him a glass of Wine,
and sat clown to converse upon the impor
tant business Iwiiich ho wished to sec him
about. In a short time Parker began to feel
drowsy, and concluded he would lie down on
the bed a moment. He did so, and fell into
a . deep steep . When he awoke, it seemed
very late at night, but whether it was the
same night or another he could not tell. The
Iridian was sitting by , the bedside gravely
and patiently. Parker asked a few questions
natural to the circumstance-4 of the case, and I
the Indian said: "You have been very sick.
Here Is some medicine the doctor left for
yon." The patient took the -medicine, fell
asleep again, slimt on eemfortably until
Wednesday morning, and Melt woke up, a
matter of twenty-four hours too late for the •
wedding. The Indim was gone. Parker's
friends think the Six Nations are opposed to
his marrying a white lady, and that they.,,sent
an envoy to take care that the wedding
should not take place, M. to even deprive him
of his life. A bride Chosen for him front
