—The daylight robbery which oc
cured in New York City, by which an employe
of a large brewery firm lost nearly SIO,OOO, is
the heaviest of the kind ever perpetrated in the
metropolis, where similar crimes have been of
frequent occurrence. The peculiarly busy life
of the great city and the frequent street block
ades, collisions and disputes involved, give
especial opportunity for such thefts, as a street
disturbance att<-aets little attention anil passers
by are not apt to appreciate the import of 9uch
an affair, until after it is over.
—Congress is not authorized to make
a uniform law of divorce for the States. Dr.
Woolsey suggests that, in view of the difficul

to marriage and divorce, a convention compos
ed of delegates appoiuted by the Governors of
the several States meet and agree upon a uni
form system to be submitted to the Legislature
of every State, with a recommendation that it
be adopted. The suggestion is one that might
result in good, though the question is one of
great difficulty.
—On Tuesday, the 12th inst., the
barn of Mr. Eben Crawford, of Crawford's Cor

and together with several tons of hay, thirty
dozen of wheat, a wagon, buggy and other arti
cles was entirely consumed by fire. Walter
Crawford, sou of Samuel, Josh. Crawford and
James Montgomery were in the barn when it
was struck. Walter was made insensible by
the shock and for a time was supposed to be
dead, but has since recovered.
—A special meeting of the Board of
Health of Wilmington, Del., was held Friday
evening, to further consider the question as to
using bovine virus by physicians throughout
the city. After some'discussion the following
resolution was unanimously adopted :
WHEREAS, In the opiniou of the Board of
Health the bovine quills or points for vaccina
tion are inefficient, therefore be it
Rnolved, That we, as a board, discourage
their use in the city as a peventative for small
pox.
—Some ambitious faster may yet
beat Griscom's record of forty-five days with
out food, but we don't believe that any can
beat Griscom. Dr. Tanner at the close of his
fast was very much prostrated ; but Griscom,
after fortv-five days' fasting, apparently was
not buffering for want of food, and seemed able
to go on indefinitely. In fact, it looked as
though he could have fasted until he died,
and by doing so he might have conferred a
much "greater benefit on science than he has
now done. Then we would have known exactly
how long a man can live on nothing. Now we
still have to guess at it.
—The case of Heber Donaldson, an
attorney at Emlenton, Venango county, con
victed by a lower court of his church of the of
fense of danciug, was before the Clarion Pres
bytery, on appeal, a few days ago. The trial
occupied a whole day ; and, though the defend
ant vigorously defended himself the appeal was
rejected by a vote of twenty-two to one. An
other and final appeal was then taken to the
Synod of Erie. It came out in tlie evidence
tliat Mr. Donaldson was not a success as a
dancer—in short, that he couldn't dance worth
a cent. Yet he was convicted for trying, which
the brethren regarded as not less siuful or per
haps worse than dancing.— Spectator.
A legislator from the interior of
York State demands that the skunk be protect
ed in-his right to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, the reason being that he destroys
grubs that otherwise would destroy hop vines.
He therefore becomes practically a protector of
the beer trade, and as whoever does anything
for beer touches more than half the adult male
population in a very tender spot, the future
standing of the skunk may be foreshadowed as
one of eminent resjiectability. And in spite of
all that is said of bis distinguishing peculiarity
he may make himself at home in three-quarters
of the beer shops in the laud without making
them smell any worse than they do now.
—Scarcely have we got clear of oce
comet when another is announced. The expect
ed visitor is Encke's comet—one with which
the astronomers are well acquainted. It has a
period of three years and half. Its epliemeris,
which has already been computed, fixes the
date of its urrival at July 29, and of its disap
pearance at November 12. Probably during
October It will be visible to the naked eye, but
during the grcutcr part of its stay in our heav
ens it will only be visible bv means of a tele
scope. This comet is regarded with peculiar in
terest by astronomers mi account of its gradu
ally shortening periods. The theory is that
there is a slight resitting medium in space,
which is constantly bringing the comet nearer
the sun, into which it will ultimately fall.
—The Supreme Court of Illinois has
decided that the right of a divorced wife to ali
mony from the estate of the husband from
whom she is parted ceases upon her marriage
to a second husband. The principle upon
which the decision is made i » that the obliga
tion to support the wife rests upon the husband
on the marital relation, and may not be trans
ferred to another man eveu though the latter
may once have been the husband of the wife.
Alimony is the equivalent of the support due
by the husband under the marriage contract,
and which-is lost when the decree of divorce
annuls that contract. When by a subsequent
marriage the woman acquires an obligation on
an existing husband for her support, she can
not hold a former husband for tlie same sup
port. The decisions of the Courts of some other
States are to the same effect.
—The public anxiety in regard to
Mr. Garfield's condition has very much abated,
because of the continuance and increase of fa
vorable svmptoms. He ii not yet out of danger,
but is clearly on the way out; and a great
weight has been lifted from men's minds by the
intelligence. The weather has been anything
but favorable to him, the heat having reached
a point which must make Washington all but
intolerable even to those who arc in perfect
health, and especially so to one of the Presi
dent's build. For a time the efforts to cool his
room were not successful, and the patient must
have suffered from the heat, although the room
is large and well ventilated. He bears himself
with the same courageous hopefulness, quiet
humor, and thoughtful courtesy, as all through
the days since he was wounded. It is this he
roic attitude in the face of death which impress
es mankind always.
—During the storm that visited this
place last Tuesday afternoon, the greater part
of the tin roof of *he First National Bank Build
ing was ripped off by the wind. On its way to
(bp street the tin passed oyer the Saving* Bank
and Baldauf buildings, to the Wuller building,
where it knocked over a chimney and then fell
to the street and side walk, demolishing Dan's
awning. One of the chimneys of the First Na
tional Duilding and some of the timbers of the
roof, fell upon the roof of the Savings Bank
and knocked several large holes in the roof.
Will Campbell and Ed. Vogeley were iu the
Savings Bank, and thinking that the whole
block was coming down, took refuge in the
vault, as the falling tin, timbers and bricks
made it unsafe to go out at either end of the
building. Cleeland was in his store in the
Baldauf building, which had a hole knocked
jn the jroof, and also found it safer tu ruuiaia in
the building.
—The locust, about whose coming,
there has been so much excitement and so
much fear, lest the year's crop of grain shall
be largely destroyed, is not that sort of an in
sect. The coming creature is the seventeen
year locust and his friend the thirteen-year lo
cust, In other words there are two broods
which will appear this year simultaneously,
the first time such a thing has occurred since
IC6O, and which will not occur again until 2102.
Bofh (}re entirely fynn the species
known as tne Rooky Mountain locust, that de
stroys without conscience the growing crop?,
sweeping off remorselessly every growing thing
that comes in its way. They devote their at
tention entirely to trees and shrubbery, boring
holes in the branches to deposit their eggs.
Should they, as is expected, make their appear
ance this Summer, while the grass and flowers
may he full of them, they will disturb nothing
but the trees, but orchards and limber lands
will tell the story of their presence.
—Up to Saturday evening last some
eighty-five hundred dollars had been subscribed
to start the proposed Glass Works at thisplacei
If $1,500 more is secured tbe company \yill get
a charter anil l>ui[<T works. .{ Mf. Stoehr,
qf Pittsburgh, Soqth Sirle, was in town last
week, and says he will bi|ild a works here if
the people ot the town present hint with two
acres of ground and a gas well. It would be
easy to get the ground, but the only good gas
well near town, that up tho hollow to the north.
West, was destroyed and it would cost several
thousand dollars, to drill a new one. The first
company proposes using ooal. Glass is made of
white sand, lime and soda, nnd other chemicals,
which are put into a covered pot or jar in their
proper proportions and nK'lteu. Glass blowing
is a trade requiring skilled hands, who would
have to be brought here. Window or sheet
glass is blown into cylindrical form. The ends
of the cylinders are then cut off, the cylinders
cut lcugthwise and then heateued and flattened.
WntbtKP«.» 3«tu 2(1, ISSt.
| Pittsburgh has 110 advantage over any other
railroad town, where fuel is plenty, for glass
manufacturing. The sand used in the glass
works there is brought from a distance, the
most of it, we are told, from Huntingdon coun
ty, this State. White 1 sand, or crashed white
sand rock is the kind needed. There is said to
be a good bank or mine of this on the David
Frazier place, about three miles this side of
Portersville, which is not too far from Butler
to justify hauling it here.
—The question has several times
been asked what provision was made by Con
gress for the widuw of President Lincoln, and
some incorrect regarding the matter
have been made. Mr. Cyrus W. Field, in a
letti-r to the New York papers concerning the
fund for Mrs. Garfield, states the facts. After
the assassination of President Lincoln, Congress
discussed the propriety of making some pro
vision f'-r Mrs. Lincoln. It was proposed to
pay her the whole amount which her husband
would have received had he lived out the term
upon which he had entered but little over a
month before his death. On the other hand
there was op|>osition to any payment, based on
various considerations. The conclusion was
the voting her the balance of the one year's sal
ary and the conferring upon her for life of the
franking privilege. The money received lasted
her but a short time —it must be remembered
that the President's salary was then but $25,-
000 a year—and five years after Lincoln's death
Congress granted his widow a pension of $3,000
a year.
—A meeting of the heirs of the Lord
Say fortune, said to amount to $100,000,000, was
held in Indiana, Thursday, June 30th. At this
meeting measures were taken to secure the for
tune as soon as possible. The letters written
by the attorney who is working np the case in
England, were read by George W. Hood, Esq.,
of Indiana, who is the attorney employed to
conduct the business here. It seems the mouey
has been on interest for more than one hundred
and twenty-five vears, and has now reached the
enormous amount of $100,000,000, withont the
real estate. There are said to be about eighty
four heirs, so each heir will receive more than
$1,000,000. Several of the heirs live in Indiana
county, Joseph R. Smith, editor of the Jle**en
grr, being one of them. We learn, also, that
the heirs of Hugh M. Speedy, deceased, late of
Conemaugh township, one of whom is Mr. B.
F. Speedy, of Johnstown, will have their share
of the estate. — Johimtowti Tribune.
We have several families in this county of
the name of Say, and we would merely say they
may be "of the heirs of Lord Say."
—A Washington dispatch shows
that there are two excellent reasons for believ
ing that the Postoffice Department may become
self-sustaining. The first is theone with which
the country has become familiar —that the re
forms already effected by Postmaster-General
James will work a reduction of ex|>enses of
uearly $1,250,000 a year. The second is that
there is a gratifying "increase in the revenues.
The recipts of the Post Offices of New York,
Boston, Baltimore and Chicago for the quarter
ending June 30,1881, show an increase ot $250,-
000 over the receipts for the same quarter last
year. The increase in the value of the postage
stamps, stamped envelopes, postal cards, etc.,
sold in the last fiscal year over the preceding
fiscal year was $2,550,000. This growth in the
revenues necessarily involves a growth in ex
penses, but not in the same proportion ; and
the day does not seem to be far distant when,
with the increased receipts and the savings
through the abolition of Star Routes, the dream
once thought Utopian will be realized, .and the
postal service will actually pay its way.
—We have repudiated the idea that
the Stalwart Republicans have any even indi
rect responsibility for the attempt on Mr. Gar
field's life, which is not shared equally by all
our political factions. And we should notiiave
commented on anything that Mr. Conkling has
said if it had been possible to avoid doing so.
Hut the ex-Senator's utterances have been such
in their tone, as to excite unpleasant feeling
even among the most stalwart of his admirers.
The O!obe-I>emocrat, of St. Louis, is one of the
few Republican newspapers which have stood
by Mr. Conkling in all his recent extravagan
ces; but it confesses that it listened in vain for
one tone of genuine svrapathy in what he was
pleased to say. Mr. Smallev telegraphs from
London that comments of the same character
are to be found in the English papers, The Tel
egraph's New York correspondent having taken
tne trouble to send them what Mr. Conkling
said. The ex-Senator's concern seems to have
been concentrated on two points. The first was
that the public should not be excited over Mr.
Garfield's murder; the second, that it should
rally with every confidence »o the support of
Mr. Arthur as President! This irresponsive
ness to the popular feeling is the more remark
able, ns it contrasts with what the country has
heard from those who are in politics the farth
est removed from the President. Even Mr.
Jefferson Davis has spoken words which Mr.
Roscoe Conkling might copy. This is the sad
effect of illimitable self-conceit, that its victim
at last finds himself unable to contemplate any
event, even the most important, except in its
relations to his own over-valued self. With
Mr. Arthur it has not been so. With all his
faults, he has lost nothing of his capacity for
right human feeling, and the country knows
to-day that if this calamity, or any like it,
should make him President, he would assume
the office with genuine and siucere sorrow for
the cause of his elevation to it.— The American.

The Westmoreland OH Well
The Greensbursr Tribune and Her
ald, of the 13th inst., gives the follow
-Ing interesting account of the oil well
recently struck in Westmoreland county
near Greensburg. The owners of the
the well it seems live in this county.
It says :
"Oil has been struck and a steady
stream is now flowing from out the
bowels of the earth in old Westmore
land. How long it will continue to
flow is a mystery yet to be unfolded.
But it is pouring out its slippery store
now and tbis gives rise to tho hope that
it will "flow on forever." On Thursday
last news was brought to town that
oil had been struck at the new well on
Brinker farm, four and a half miles
south of town, and a mile and a half
on this side of Pleasant Unity. The
excitement began, and in a brief space
of time every one seemed to see visions
of oil wells and oil tanks dotting the
fair farms heretofore rendered pictur
esque only by the cattle upon the
thousand hills. Everybody was excit
ed, and the person who had looked
into this mysterious hole whence pour
ed the oily flood was looked up to
with respect which amounted almost
to reverence.
'•The strike was entirely unexpected
as they bad only reached a depth of
five hundred feet, and the flow at first
was fifteen barrels per day. The owners
of the property, Messrs Joliu Scot
& Co., of Butler, had confidence in the
staying qualities of the hole, an ij : uiuie
diately proceeded to make arrange
ments for tankasre. The farming popu
lation entered into the spirit of the
affair and showed their interest by
coming from far and near to not only
see but also to get some of the valua
ble stuff. Wagons from all portions of
the neighborhood soon gathered at the
place.
"In order to find out the real value
of the fluid Mr. John T. Stephenson,
the druggist, who is a skilled chemist,
analyzed it and pronounced it lubricat
ing oil of a superior quality. Its abso
lute genuineness added considerably to
the excitement. The well continued
to flow steadily, rather increasing than
diminishing, until Sunday when it
rested from its labors for a few hours,
making up for lost time by a somewhat
stronger gush. Yesterday it got down
to the old basis and was doing about
fifteen barrels per day. The flow is
regular being ou an average of about
four pulsatious to the minute. The
experts who have visited the surround
ings say that is a bonanza, and that it
will pan out better if sunk deeper.
Others fear that further drilling will
stop the present supply.
"A veteran Pittsburg oil operator
when consulted said: It is shallow oil,
struck at a depth, it is claimed, of five
hundred feet, and experience goes to
show that such wells never hold out.
I think that the Ureensburg well, from
what I can learn, and from my experi
ence of nearly|twenty years in the oil pro
ducing business, will in a few days
not produce over two barrels, instead
of twenty-one, as now reported, and
that it will finally dry up. This well
can have no earthly effect upon the
trade, any more than did the finding
of heavy oil at Franklin, Smith's ferry,
in Lawrence county and other places
The lubricating oil trade may feel the
new well's effect, provided the new
well is as good as reported, but that is
all."
"Speculators have been busy trying
to persuade the farmers to accept rea
sonable prices for their land, but they
decline to sell with a pertinacity which
shows how firm is their belief in the
existence of good paying fluid in that
neighborhood. After the excitement
abates a little, however, it is probable
that other wells will be put down and
the peaceful valley be made to resound
with the steady hum of industry.
"Just forty-three year ago while
sinking a salt well not a great distance
from the present location oil was struck,
but as the owners did not then know
its value, it was abandoned aud a new
location sought. Even now the aban
doned well emits a few gallons of oil
occasionally, and ihe neighboring far
mers gather up and use it.
"Just how valuable the fluid is can
be better determined when the well is
in successful operation."

Ambition, competition and over-ex

A- TROUTMAN,
The Cyclopaedia War.
The month of July, ISSI, witnesses the completion of the largest and most important
literary work this country and the century have seen. It is the Library of Universal
Knowledge, large type edition, in 15 large octavo volumes, containing 10 per cent more
matter than Appleton's Cyclopedia, at less than one-fifth its cost, and 20 per cent more
than Johnson's Cyclopaedia, at a little more than one-fourth its cost.
Chambers's Encyclopaedia, which forms the basis of the Library of Universal Knowl
edge (the last London edition of 1880 being reprinted verbatim as a portion of its con
tents), is the laborious product \M Z J. - °f the ripest British and Euro
pean scholarship. Ithasdcvel- W V oped through a century of Cy
clopaedia making; its various ■ J editions having been many times
revised, in successive years, till it has come to be universally recognized, by those com
petent to judge, as standing at the very front of great aggregations of knowledge, and
better adapted than any other Cyclopedia for popular use. It contains such full and
important information as the ordinary reader, or the careful student, is likely to seek,
upon about 25,000 subjects in every department of human knowledge. Chambers's
Encyclopedia, however, is a foreign production, edited and published for a foreign
market, and could not be ex- ■■■ | pccted to give as much promi
nence to American topics as ■■ I American readers might de
sire. To supply these and ® ■ ■ other deficiencies a large corps
of American editors and writers have added important articles upon about 15,000 topics,
covering the entire field of human knowledge, bringing the whole number of titles under
one alphabetical arrangement to about 40,000. Thus the work is thoroughly Americanized,
and the Library of Universal Knowledge becomes at once the latest and most complete
Encyclopedia in the field, at a mere fraction of the cost of any similar work which has
preceded it.
_ _ of the 15 volumes, complete, in extra cloth binding, $15.00. In half
riice Russia, sprinkled edges, $20.00. In half Russia, gilt top, $22.50. In full
library sheep, marbled edges, $25.00.
The superlative value and importance of this great Eticyclopa;dia lies especially in the
fact that it is brought within the reach of every one who aspires after knowledge and
culture. It is really a libra- ■ _ ■ ry of universal knowl
edge. It brings a liberal IiIT I education easily within
the reacli even of every « ™ ™ ■ ■ plowboy of the country
and apprentice boy of the city. Every farijner and every mechanic in the land owes it to
himself and to his children that such a Cyclopedia shall henceforward form a part of the
outfit of his home. To the professional man, and every person of intelligence in every
walk of life, a Cyclopedia is a necessity.
Of course the old and wealthy publishers who have grown rich (it is said that the
Appletons have made a profit of nearly two million dollars on their Cyclopedia) from the
sale of their high-priced publications arc not pleased thar their monopolies are broken and
their power overthrown. Of course the book agents and booksellers who have been used
to getting from 40 to 60 per cent commission for selling those high priced books are
$■ a a a not so well pleased to sell the
10.000 Reward Übnry of Universal Knowledge
■ J w u ww ■ sm on 15 p cr cent commission,
though those who are not short-sighted discover that their own interests, after all, are
identical with the interests of the people, and their real profits, in the end, are increased,
by the immense sales which result from meeting the people's wants. The majority of
booksellers, however, are better pleased to slander than to sell this and our numerous other
standard and incomparably low-priced publications. Hut the Literary Revolution has
always looked to the people , in whose interests it is, for its patronage, and it has never
looked in vain, as our more than ■■■ I n -l-_n
one million volumes printed last I 111 AOf 0 HTC
year (this year being increased ■ 1 . m
to probably more than two millions) abundantly prove. You can order the Cyclopedia
directly from us, and by uniting with your neighbors and friends you can secure club rates
as follows:
A discount of 10 per cent will bo allowed to ntiv one ordering nt one tlmo three or more «etn of tho
CyelopieUta; and n discount of 15 per cent will bo allowed to uuy ouo ordering Jlvo or more tcu at ono
time.
As a special inducement to our friends and patrons to go to work promptly and vigor
ously, each doing what he can for the dissemination of universal knowledge, we propose
to distribute sio,ooo in special premiums as follows, in addition to the regular discount
to clubs:
Pi 000 T? ftWfl Y*rl to be distributed equally among the flrstSflO club agents who send us club#
iVCTTai u n f not than five subscribers, after Juue 15th and before Septem
ftflfl Pouro addition to the first sr.,onoto be distributed among the 100 club nsrenU
W c&iA U who. during the same time, send us the lurgrat number of *ubscr\b*rs x
not lews than twenty In number, the Amount to he distributed proporUooately to the whole number of
subscribers which each of the 100 club agents may send us.
The names of the subscrittcrs must in every case be forwarded to us. The first named will be dis
tributed as s[*H*lfled as rapidly as the orders are received, ami the remaining $5,000 will tie distributed
promptlv on Sept. Ist. The names of the persons receiving these rewards will be printed, with the amounts
receiviKi bv each, and the list sent to all the club agents entering into competition for them. Subscribers
must be tu'tual purchasers for irulMdual use, to entitle the club agent to the rewards under tills offer, and
not booksellers or agents who buy to sell again. ....
Persons desiring to raise clubs may send to us at once for sample volumes, if they desire, in the various
styles of binding, paying us 75 cents for the volume in cloth. SI.OO for the volume in hulf Husxla, sprinkled
edge*, and $1.&» for the volume in llbrarv sh»»ep. Orders for the full sets will l»e filled by us with the Utmost
