II 0 Tbls morning's Oil City Derrick and Ti tosville Courier contain communications from our townsman, Dr. M. C. Eguett, giv ing a fair and square statement of tbe das turdly assault upon bis (the Dt'e) person, by Mr. Boyer, champion of the Titusville Iler i.ld and tbe Harleyites. Tbe Dr. explain, tbe whole difficulty from the bottem up, and proves beyond a doubt that tbe brave Boyer was tbe aggressor In every respect, and act' d throughout in base and cowardly man oar in the whole affair. As far as the reso lutions relative to Mr. Henry Hatley are concerned, those introduced by tbe Dr. and passad by the Oil City Oil Exchange bav. jiroved correct, as the subsequent action of (be Producer's Union and tbe telegram sent by Gen. McCtoilun bave shown.

We aro of the opinion that "big brave" Boyer, and bis bottle bolder and sponger ot the Herald' have pieked up the wrong man this time, and wa would advise them, tbe next time they seek a quarrel, to coma out like men .and not insult and strike a defenceless man after tbe fashion of coward calumny, which always "stabs in tbe dark and front behind. On Friday ot last week, a young man named Isaac Fisher, met with a Severn and probably fatal accident, on tbe Dale Farm, near Driftwood. lie was np at "the top of the dorriek assisting la drawing tbe tubing from th well, wbea be accidentally slipped and fell to the ground.

CATE'S BACK SUCTION PREVENTOR FOIt OIL WELLS, patented Aupist 15. 1871, which en tirely prevents tbe ingress of air In oil welle, wbllc tbe tubing Is being drawn. It ia a well known tact 10 oil operators, that upon wells where Gas l'ump are need It is necesaa. V to preserve as nearly a per fect vacuum as possible, and that no a'r should be let into the well, at any time, when It can pooslbly be avoided; consequently, whenever the tubing is drawn fr ni a well It la the cauee of great injury to It, as llio stuffing box, being then necessarily open ed, the air Immediately rushes back between lbs tubing and eating, into tbo wall going into th oil rock and gas veins, and coi sequentty causin-. the 011 and gas to ru-h back to a great dUtanco. So much bo, that It almost always takea auvam! days after pumping is resumed fur a well to lie brought hack to Its former condition, and oftentimes it takes several weeks ; and quite frequently wells bave been aim, hi o,)inp'et:ljr mined by the air being thus let lu wiiH'i drawing tubing. The BACK StrOTION PHEVENToR Is attached to'tlie stoning box and works in such a way that It completely shuts up the space between the stuffing box and tubi&g so effectually that not a pnrticle of air can get through at any time while the tubing la being drawn and replaced. It supplies a want long telt, and is, without question, one of the most val liable inventions of the day, to tho erg 'ged In the oil business. No well should be without It, as It of ten times saves ten times bs cost by once ueiug.
