more tender varieties of pea*. Part of the
green currant* and goose-berrie* were cooked,

—On account of being short of funds to
meet checks and drate, Cashier Hoyt, of the
Butler County Bank, of Miller-town, was
forced to confess to the directors la-t Saturday,
that he had used the funds of the bank to :i;e
amount of about $22,000, which amount he
not immediately replace, arid assigned
all his property, valued at to the
Bank. 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.

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."

The first intimation thut the people there had
of the failure was by the posting of the follow

"At a meeting cf 'he trustees of this hank
