DOLLAR oil has arrived. It was a
long time coming, but is here.
JOHH M. MrLLER, Esq., a prominent
member of the Bar of this county for
some years past, is, we understand,
about to remove to and locate in Cali
fornia. _
THX bearing of an application at
Mercer last week, for the appointment
of a Receiver for the Sbenango & Alle
gheny Railroad, has been postponed
nntil December 2nd.
TH* meteoric shower which was to
come off last Wednesday night was a
failure. It appears Prof. Tice made a
mistake as to the date and that it does
not occur until November, 1899.
Hon. CHARLES H. VOORHIS, a New
Jersey Congressman elect, and who
failed lately, has been /wrested for ille
gally abstracting from the First Na
tional Bank of Hackensack, New Jer
sey, of which be was President, col
laterals deposited to secure a private
loan.
BY the news in another place it will
be seen that, with one exception, all
the Republican candidates on the State
ticket in New York, at the late elec
tion, have been elected, the vote on
Lieutenant Governor being the closest,
Hoskins, Republican, having 1,130 of
a majority over Potter, Democrat.
There were about a million of votes
polled in the State.
TH* Pittsburgh Commercial Ga
zette protests with great force and
much reason against the selection of
Cincinnati as the place for holding the
next Republican National Convention.
The last Convention was held there,
and of course another place should be
selected for the coming one. Pitts
burgh's time has about arrived, and
why not hold the next Convention
there?
Lectures.
The young men of this place are
making arrangements for a series of
lectures, such as we have had on
former winters here. They will com
mence abont the middle of December
coming, and be semi-monthly. Sev
eral of our professional men have been
invited and probably will deliver lec
tures. _
The Oil Boom.
The price of oil waxes greater every
day. It advanced one day last week
twelve cents on the barrel, the greatest
rise in one day for the past two years.
With the rise in oil all branches of
business hereabouts will be stimulated
we may look for better times. It
has reached already as high as $1.06£
per barrel.
Since writing above we have news
of Monday's operations at Oil City,
aa follows :
OIL C ITT, Nov. 17.—This has been
the most exciting day experienced on
the Oil Exchange for many months.
Excitement at times amounted almost
to a panic. Sales show a total of
1,140,000 barrels. Fluctuations fol
lowed eaeb other in rapid succession.
The price opened at SI.OBF, advanced
to $1.20, and closed at $1.17}. Many
fortunes were made and lost.
Gen. Grant and. a Third Term.
The Mayor of Chicago, in his recent
speech welcoming Gen Grant to that
city, gave the ex-President a fine op
portunity to define his position as to
the third term movement being made
in bis favor ; but Grant made no re
sponse tbat would indicate bis feelings,
wishes or intentions as to bis name
being used as a candidate for the next
Presidency. On the principle, bow
ever, tbat "silence gives consent," it is
inferred tbat be has no objection to
again being considered as a candidate.
. This, we believe, a majority of the
Republican party of the country will
regret to bear, for while they admire
him as a man, and duly appreciate
all his great military services in the
late rebellion, yet they feel at the same
time tbat they have duly and fully
honored him by already having twice
bestowed upon him the highest office
in tbeir gift. This was as often as
they bad bestowed the Presidency
upon Washington, the father of his
country, and who was "first in war,
first in peace, and first in the hearts of
bis countrymen." It was also as often
as they gave it to Jefferson or Jackson.
Gen. Washington refused, under any
conditions, to let bis name be men
tioned for a third term, and from that
time to this it had never been pro
posed to violate the example set by
him and which had come to bo re
garded as part of the unwritten law of
the land. The good and great Lin
coln, who of all our Presidents was
second only to Washington in the af
fections of the people, it is believed
would bave declined any third term
movement in his favor, bad be lived
through the second term to which he
bad been elected. We think, then,
tbat tbe people of this country would
generally bave been gratified if Gen.
Grant bad seized the opportunity af
forded him by the Mayor of Chicago
to bave announced that he was not a
candidate and would not permit the
use of bis name for a third term. By
the Mayor's reference to Washington,
and contrasting Gen. Grant to him, he
evidently intended and expected Gen.
Grant to say in answer that be ap
proved of the rule set by Washington
and desired to abide by his example.
Ue may do so yet in time, and we be
lieve be should. If ho does not, and
is again nominated and elected, a pre
cedent will be set that may plead
against us in the future. However
good he has been, and might be again,
yet in the future bad men may reach
the high place of President and may
use the broken example of Washing
ton to perpetuate themselves in power.
And if once broken for a third term it
mav be further broken for a fourth and
a fifth term, and where, then, would
be the end ?
Business First.
Now that the elections are over the
most important and best thing for the
country is for every man to attend to
his business. That this is neglected
during times of political excitement
and elections there can be no doubt,
and the result has bee« that not only
particular persons suffer in their par
ticular business, but the country suf
fers as well. In the present state of
affairs nothing could happen that
would be more injurious to the revival
of business and good times than an
other exciting elcctioD, and hence it is
that we look with a kind of dread on
the so early discussion of candidates
for the next Presidency. It cannot be
long at best until the people are again
convulsed with the issues and demands
of the election of next year, and if
that expected great contest is to begin
now and be kept up nothing will be
more damaging to the business inter
ests of all. We seem to go from one
contest right into another, and of
course during these excitements busi
ness must suffer. Hopes are held out
and promises of better times always
made by all parties, during elections,
and many people do not get time ap
parently to see them fulfilled. Elec
tions perhaps come too frequently in
this country, as one is scarcely over
until another is commenced, and hence
questions remain unsettled, or are so
continually agitated as to keep busi
ness unsettled. Just now the remedy
is, for all to turn their attention to a
revival of business interests, for as
soon as we enter the whirlpool of
another excitement everything will
again come to a standstill until it is
over.
The New York Result.
New YORK, Nov. 13.—The result in
New York is no longer in doubt. Re
turns from all but two counties, as
returned by the county canvassers,
show that Mr. Cornell, Republican,
has a majority of 40,172 ; Hoskins,
Republican, Lieutenant Governor,
1,130 majority; Carr, Republican, Sec
retary of State, 4,411; Wadsworth,
Republican, Controller, 7,059; Ward,
Republican, Attorney Geueral, 7,909;
Wendell, Republican, Treasurer, 4,6.01;
Seymour, Democrat, Engineer, 9,969;
John Kelly's vote, 77,471. There are
many complaints of unfair count in the
rural districts. The returns have dis
closed many irregularities, but the
majorities are so large that the general
result is not likely to be aflfected by
changes made in consequence of irreg
ularities. Some votes have been thrown
aside because of wrong spelling or use
of a wrong initial, which would doubt
less be restored were the count close.
Thus Mr. Soule loses 1,600 votes in
one county, as his ballots were printed
for Engineer, Instead of for Engineer
and Surveyor.
Thanksgiving Proclamation.
Gov. Hoyt has issued the following
Thanksgiving proclamation:
A PROCLAMATION —In devout recog
nition of the God of States who has
ordered peace, health and abundant
prosperity to the people, I, Henry M.
Hoyt, Governor of Pennsylvania, do
appoint Thursday, the 27th of Novem
ber next, iu pursuance of the recom
mendation of the President of the
United States, as a day upon which
the good people of this Commonwealth,
laying aside all secular occupations,
may meet together in reverent thanks
giving for mercies received and prayer
for a continuance of divine favor.
Given under my hand and the great
seal of the State, at Hurrisburg, this
7th day of November, in the year of
our Lord, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-nine, and of the Common
wealth the one hundredth and fourth.

The Law to Be Enforced.
Now that the fall elections are
over, the assessors of the various dis
tricts will proceed to make up their
triennial valuation of real estate and
personal property. The assessors this
year will make valuation on all stocks,
bonds, mortgages, notes, judgments,
etc. This is in accordance with the
law of 1846, which up to this time has
practically been a dead letter iu this
State, although it has been iu force in
New York State for some years.
Blanks will be furnished to every citi
zen, on which he will be required to
make a list under oath, of his personal
property besides stocks, bonds, etc., and
from these lists the assessors will
make their valuation, and assess the
tax to be collected. A heavy penalty
will be imposed upon any one who
fails to make out his list within a
given time after receiving the blanks.
So long as the State had plenty of
money in its vaults, this law of 1846
was not enforced ; but this year our
Commonwealth seems to Is: sort of
hard up and this law will Is; accor
dingly revived and enforced to fill up
the depleted coffers of the State.—ln
diana {Pa.) Mennenger.
TUB attention of business men is
called to the postal regulation now in
force, which allows an unreceipted
bill, memorandum, or statement of
account, to Is: mailed in an unsealed
envelope at a postage of one cent. The
words "Please remit" may be printed
on such documents, but it must not Is:
written thereon. Newspaper oublish-.
ers can enclose unreceipted bills in
their newspapers when forwarded to
bona Jide subscribers.
A BALLOT-BOX bttH been invented
which rings a bell when a vote enters
it, which counts all the ballots as they
are received, stamps them with a num
ber, and piles them neatly away, be
yond the reach of any hand. The box
j will, of course, be introduced every
where.

Gen. Grant's Welcome at Chicago.
CHICAGO, NOV. 12. —The train from
Galena bearing Grant arrived at ten
o'clock. The rain was falling heavily,
but in a few minutes the clouds lifted
and the sun shone brightly. Grant
alighted arid taking a seat in a carriage
the procession at once moved. It in
cluded Gen. Sheridan and stafT, Gen.
Stockton and stafT, Gen. Torrence and
staff and numerous military organiza
tions. The carriage containing Gen.
Grant was escorted by the society of
the Army of the Tennessee, the car
riage containing Gen. Sherman and
Gov. C'ullum, carriages containing dis
tinguished guests and maimed and
crippled soldiers, the society of the
Army of the Cumberland, the society
of the Army of the I'otomac, the vet
eran organizations, Mexican veterans,
the Grand Army of the Republic, Gen.
Wallace and staff, old settlers, car
riages containing the city and county
officials and various civic organizations.
The streets along the line of march
were profusely decorated with em
blems of welcome and congratulation.
Newspaper offices generally were
adorned with flags, bunting and ever
greens.
Grant left the procession at the Pal
mer house and reviewed it from the
balcony. It required over two hours
to pass a given point. There was a
dense and appreciative crowd along
the whole line of march, which gave
the loudest applause to Grant, Sher
man and Sheridan. After the review
Grant was formally welcomed by
Mayor Harrison in the rotunda of the
Palmer House.
After alluding to Grant's reception
abroad the Mayor said : "Sir—you
have served your country nobly and
the country has honored you grandly.
Like the immortal Washington you
rose from the lower walks of life,
passed through all the military grades
until you commanded its victorious
armies. Like him you filled the office
of President two long terms and when
two terms were over you were offered
a crown, but preferred 'immortality
and fame to temporary power. Ho
returned to private life and lives in the
hearts of his people and all time will
call him his country's father. Vou,
too, sir, when your two terms were
over, obeyed that part of your coun
try's unwritten traditions hallowed by
the immortal example of Washington,
and you, ,too, retired and you, too, sir,
live and will live forever in your
countrymen's hearts." The speech
was upplauded heartily.
Grant in reply said: "Gentlemen of
Chicago and Illinois—l feel very much
honored by the welcome which I am
receiving at your hands to-day. I feel
highly honored by the pledge of wel
come which has been uttered bv your
worthy Mayor, which is something so
personal to myself that it would be
hardly in good taste for me to respond
to the language of it, and it leaves,
therefore, nothing for me to do but con
vey my thanks to this committee and
the citizens of this city for the hearty
reception they have given me. As to
one allusion to my reception abroad I
will say that in every ease I felt it was
a tribute to our own country. I will
add further that our country stands
differently abroad in the estimation of
European and Eastern Nations from
what it did a quarter of a century ago.
American citizens are regarded in a
different light from the Americans of a
quarter of a century ago. At that
time it was believed that we had no
nation—it was merely a confederation
of StatoH tied together by u rope of
sand ami would give away upon the
slightest friction. They have found
that it was a grand mistake. They
know we have now a nation ; that we
are a nation of strong and intelligent
and brave people, capable of judging
and knowing our rights and deter-'
mined on all occasions to maintain
them aerainst either a domestic or a
foreign foe, and that in the reception
you, as a nation, have received
through me whilst I was abroad.''
RESULT OF AN INTERVIEW WITII THE
EX-PRESIDENT.
CINCINNATI, NOV. 12.—A Galena
special reports an interview with
Grant, and savs that he looks better
and younger than when he left the
White House. Grant says if possible
he mav spend part of the winter in the
West Indies, returning through Mex
ico. "When I start East in Decem
ber it is possible I may get employ- j
ment at something which may change ?
my plans. The only information I j
have of being chosen President of the
Texas Pacific is through the newspa
pers."
"It is reported that very many peo- |
pie insist that you shall be President ;
of the United States again." "That, j
too," said Grant, "is without my au- j
thority. The fact is that I have not
been disturbing myself about anything
since I went away. Any plans made
for the future for me, are without con
sultation with me."
Grant further said that he would
spend two days in Cincinnati some
time after December Bth, when he
starts East. He gave it as his opin
ion that New York, San Francisco
and Chicago, are the three greatest
metropolitan cities of America.
THE rise in the Monongahela river
allowed the Pittsburgh c«»al merchants
to get their coal barges started down
the river la3t Saturday. Some six
million bushels were stated for the
Cincinnati and Louisville, markets.
Speaking of the movement, the Gazette
of Monday says: The movement of
at least a million dollars' worth of
property created, as it always does, a
great deal of interest on the part of the
people, outside of the owners. The
latter were of course filled with a most
intense interest. From early in the
morning till long after nightfall the
Monongahela wharf and the sidewalk
along Water street, from Grant all the
way to the Point, held hundreds of
motley groups, all eagerly watching
the large tows of barges loaded with
black diamonds, as they floated past
the city. Many of the owners were
congregated about the Monongahela
house discussing the situation, send
ing and receiving messages to various
points, answering questions pro
pounded by the curious, and scanning
the tows carefully as they passed.
Beneath the calm exterior generally
worn by the owners of the valuable
cargoes that were departing a close ob
server could detect evidences of deep
anxiety, and that these men were
anxious is something not to lie won
dered at, for the vast amount of
property that was fast receding from
view was going—they knew not where
it might be to the bottom of the
Ohio. The coal business, as is well
known, is a most hazardous one. The
vast crowd that had no immediate pecu
niary interest in the matter, seemed to
be in full sympathy with the owners—
to share in their anxiety—and many
times were heard the remarks: "I
hope they'll get through safely."
"Wouldn't it be a pity if one of those
barges would sink. It has twelve
thou.-sand bushels of coal in it, and is
worth nearly two thousand dollars."
"There goes one of Brown's fleets.
Great thunder, what a lot of coal they
are sending out! Over a million and
a half." In this way the people put in
their time throughout the day. The
boat stores were all open, and did a
lively business in the way of furnish
ing the various towboats with indis
pensable articles.
Salo of Oil Land.
BRADFORD, NOV. 11.— The details
of the transfer of the largest single
area of oil lands ever known to have
Ireen sold in the oil regions are made
public for the first time to-morrow.
The land sold is what is known as the
Moody tract, situated six miles south
of this city aud comprising seven
thousand acres, a large part of which
is known to be prolific oil territory,
through but a very small portion has
been developed. Only a few wells
have been drilled upon it. The grant
ors are Horace J. Moody, the heirs of
Webb Clarke, Scribner and others of
New York city, and the grantees,
Melvin, Walker Howe, of this city,
who take 2,500 acres; the Babeock
Brothers, Hornellsville, New York,
1,000 acres, and John Allen, Jr., John
Williams, George E. Laverack and
others, of Buffalo, the remaining 3,000
acres. The land is to be divided up
into small parcels and sold or leased
for oil purposes. The total considera
tion was $105,000.
THE time is approaching when ten
ants will make arrangements for the
use of a property during the coming
year. A good price is willingly paid
for a good property. When the house
is in good repair and the place favora
bly located, there is no trouble in get
ing a fair rent. A great difficulty
here is, tbat people who have houses
to rent all demand about the same
price, no regard being paid by the
owner to the condition or location of
the premises. Rents are not higher
here than in other towns of this size,
and very few, if any, houses art! stand
ing idle, but the houses gem-rally that
are offered for rent, were built many
years ago, and art; without many of
the conveniences found in houses late
ly built. If owners would incur the
expense of putting their properties in
good tenantable condition, with some
of the modern improvement* about
them, they could get a good class of
tenants for a term of years at a fair
rent.
Ohftndlor'M Buooo«Hor.
DETROIT, Nov. 14.— Gov. Crosswell
has appointed Fernando C. Beaman,
of Adrian, to lillout the unexpired term
of Senator Chandler. The appoint
ment was not expected, but it gives
general satisfaction. Mr. Beaman is a
lawyer of high standing, and served as
Representative in Congress from IXfil
to 1871, and since the latter date has
been Probate Judge of Lenawee county.
He was a Democrat until H4B, when
he joined the Free Soil party, arid
afterwards the Republican, when or
ganized iu this State in 18.04.

CANCER.
Thin disease like many others is regarded
as incurable. It is not 80. If it i» taken in
tiine it is u* en-nily cured as a wart or a corn.
We know very well that it is a fearful disease
and will eat away until It destroys life, that
is if it is neglected, hut if it is attended to
when it first makes its r\ppea r u:ice, or soon
after, there is no trouble in eradicating It
from the system. Persons will have to be here
during part of the treatment., consequently
there is no use writing to me for information
whether it can be cured without my seeing the
case. I also treat with mucoesn, Rupture, Piles,
Fistula, Ulcers, Ulcerated !e?'<, Varicose Veins,
Varicocele Tumors, Hydrocele, and every form
of Nkin liisease.
