Those depositors v'.<o were anxious regarding their money were given signed by the President and one of the dirt'tors, both of whom are amply responsible. ibe Back . continues business and is perfectly solvent Hoyt may be arrested, as it has beta said that he has been covering his defalcations by raise entries in the books of the Bank. It is a .'•lii lerstown bank man that is "short" tin- time and not a Butler man, as one of the Pittsburgh j papers heads its special on the subject. —Decoration day in Butler was a success i this year. The {recession was larger than: usual, and was composed of Raseley s Martial ; Band, our Militia Company, the Orphans : Home children, Butler's new cornet baud, and , members of the G, A. It., and other.-, on foot i _and in carriages. The South CVm'-try was the I first visited, and the graves of the soldiers buried there were decorated with choice flow ers, and then those in the North Ctmetry. Mr. J. K. Cubbison, of Franklin, formerly of Harris ville, delivered aa appropriate address of more than usual in ent from stand in the North Cemetry. "Once more Memorial Day, a dav of flowers, tender memories and patri otic impulses,—has coiae and gone, Once more our citizens have united in litingly ob serving the anniversary, as they have on each succeeding year since the beautiful custom was first established. It is indeed most credit able to the public spirit of our people to place on record the gratifying fact tl.ut as the ye <rs roll round, the memories of the brave men who fell that liberty might live a. e trea-ure l undimed and undying, shining forth with a bright luster and receiving a warmer and more general tribute with each succeeding recur rence of this, the sadde«t and yet the proudest anniversary of the year to every lover of his native land. 1 ' "And they who for their country die Shall fill an honored grave ; For glory lights the soldier's tomb, And beauty weejis the brave." —The frosts of last week were the most se vere of any that we have any recollection of, coming so late in the season. The mercury on Thursday and Friday meriting stood at the freezing point, and was followed by cold days and on Saturday morning at 40degrees, follow ed by a very warm day. All the tender gar den "plants were killed, and even the peas were injured. The tro-.t of Thursday morning last was more severe than that of the morning of May 24th, I*V>, when the mercury was down to 34, two degrees above freezing, and the sun shone brightly that morning for the first time in five days. On the 12th and UJth of that month we also had heavy frosts, but the vege tation was saved by the cloudy weather. East year, however, was a good one for the farmers, as they ha/1 plenty of all kinds of grain and fruit to sell, excepting apples. The wheat and rye, particularly the rye, were undoubtedly injured to some extent by last week's frosts, but the fruit, with the exception of the grapes, may not have been. If we have no more of it we will fare well enough yet, though this having freezing weather in May is becoming decidedly monotonous. However, it has been worse, —much worse. According to tradition it did its worst in IW>, which was known as the year without a summer. The fanners used to refer to it as "eighteen hundred and <tarve to deaih." In May ice formed half an inch thick, buds and blossoms were frozen and corn killed. Frost, ice and snow were common in Juue. Almost every green thing wxs killed, and the fiuit was nearly .'ill destroyed. Snow fell to the depth of three inches in New York and Massachu etts. July was accompanied with frost and ice. On the fifth ice was form ed of _ the thfcknes* of window-glass in New York. New England and Pennsylvania, and corn was nearly destroyed in certain sections. In August ice formed half an inch thick. A cold northern wind prevailed nearly all sum mer. Corn was so frozen that a great deal was cut down aud dried for fodder. Very little ripened in New England, and "-lrcely any even in the Middle !s'at«-s. Farmers were obliged to pay •: lor i o a bushel for corn of 1810 for seed for the next Spring's planting. Oil Well Notes. The Fisher Bros', well No. C, reached the pay streak last Sunday morning, and with but one bit in the sand, began flowing heavily, making 559 barrels in th-first 21 hours. This well is between other welis on the Walla' -: farm and does not open up any new territory. Philips Bros have a well ready to case on the McCaodlen property, east of the McCal rnont farm. The Johnson Bros', well, on Thorn Creek, will be completed to-day or to-morrow, and should it prove good, as is expected, will open up new territory, or prove that the Bald Itidge belt in a v<-ry wide one, with a -trip of unpro ductive territory, or territory containing hard sand, at its centre. Such is generally the case. The I'iiilips Bros', well on the Minster farm, in Oakland township, was completed a few days sim e, and, although it started off at but 12 barrels per day, is now doing 70. This is a fourth sand well, and a valuable one, on account of the staying qualities of the wells of that section. '1 lie sand is over 70 feet thick, and will produce forever, if the wells are not located too close together. Some more big gushers are reported from Warren county. Oil was worth b it 7H cents yesterday. Court News. CIVIL < ACS KM MhI'OMKO OF I. AST WKI.K. Commonwealth of Penna., P. W. Conway suggested as plaintiff, vs. James If., Jos., and W. I).

The Penn Bank The Penn Bank of Pittsburgh has definitely failed for a large amount, supposed to be at least two millions. The assignee. Mr. W arner, who took posssession. la-t Thursday, found but fifteen thousand dollars in the vaults, and says it will take him a month to complete his examination of the books. It looks as though the fifteen hundre 1 depositors would lose everything as a clause in the charter of the Bank pro vides that uo stockholder or officer shall be assessed, or liable for any purpose whatever, for any greater sum than the face of the stock held by such stock : holder or officer. The bank was ruined by its officers speculating in oil. A gentleman who Las plaved at speculating in oil, and , who watched the Penn bank syndicate closelv, gives the following history of i its transactions: When the market struck the fifties they bought oil heavily, and it was Reibers boast that he made big money, and the whole crowd were ahead of the deal. .Along in the spring of lsS.'J .Mr. Kiddle conceived the brilliant idea cf working the market on a bigger deal than Lad ever before been attempted. He got his irieads together and laid his pians before them, and they were fully approved. He went to New \ork and negotiated a loan of $2,00U,000. They took certain brokers into their con fidence, and among them were Thomas J. Watson, S. B. Thompson, John P. Beal, and perhaps others They began buying oil in the nineties, and ran the price up rapidly, until it got to sl.lO. After it passed the dollar line the up ward course was hard to keep up, and they had to take on a heap of oil to move it a single cent. It was a part of the agreement that no member of the pool should sell his oil without the knowledge and consent of his compan ions. They finally forced the price up to $1.24f, having bought all the way up in order to bring it about. At this juncture some of the pool thought the oil ought to be sold, but were overrul ed, and in one case, where the owner had borrowed money upon which to carrv it, Mr. Iliddle gave his check for the amount rather than the oil be sold. Just when the top was reached, the Standard Oil Company, which had not bef >re interfered, stepped in and broke the market to about $1.04, the syndicate people resisting desperately but ineffectually. At this point the $2,000,000 loan upon which the syndi cate's operations were based was call ed, and to their disgust they discover ed that the lender was the Standard Oil Company. They had been badly hit by the decline, the cost of their oii averaging far above the price then ruling, but the Standard people were inexorable in demanding a settle ment. They finally agreed to take the syndicate's oil at 98 cents or below it, in order to freeze the pool out. A settlement was rn'ide on this basis, and the syndicate lost a barrel of money on the deal. They didn't all loose, howev ever. One of them, who had plenty of money of his own, was among those who wanted to sell when the market passed $1 20, but was refused permis sion to do so. Through a friend on the floor he quietly sold shorts against his oil in the pool, and then went to New York and repeated the operation there, so that he came out of the deal with a profit, and was one of the very few who did so. When he returned to Pittsburgh the market was down to about $1 04 or $1 06, and the managers allowed him to take his oil and fill his short contracts with it "Front that time to this the Penn Bank crowd Lave been taking desperate chances in the oil market to win back suflieient money to ping up the hole they had made In the Bank's funds, and getting in deeper and deeper every time. Do I know who composed the syndicate? Yes, W. X. Kiddle, Cashier Keiber, John P. Beal, Robert M Kennedy, M. K. McMul len, Jacob 11. Walter, Joseph O. Brown, Thos. J. Watson, a few people in the oil regions, -onie in New. York aud some in Chicago." —lf you want a new dress, Kither Silk, Cashmere, Satin, Lawn, Oing harn, Chintz or Calico do not fail to inspect our stock.
