THE CITYi
MISCKM.AN.EorS.
THE LEGAL rBOFBSSrON.
With the single exeeptlon of the poor clergy, there
la probably no body of men so desperately poor as
the members of the bar. ■ So true Is this statement,
that we hare so hesitation in saying that If a large
somber of gentlemen of the legal profession were
deprived of outside aid they would necessarily
Starve. Some of the more fortunate have private
Incomes, pr are supported by. their families and
friends. In so great a measure Is this true, that any
one who knows by experience the terrible troth will
readily say that any one who attempts to enter the
profession without some prospect of aid of this sort
is In the greatest degree a fool. Ambition to circu
late its a professional man may have the effect
for a time of blinding the eyes of some to the
wery hard road In which they must travel for
years after entering the profession If they wish to
continue Jn It, Thby may see; when too
they have mistaken their calling, and will readily
admit that hungry gentility is not the most de
sirable thing In the world. The neoeaslty of work
ing at a business foreign to their profession takes up
muoh time,, which, to be successful as'lawyers,
Should be employed In studying the law." Some
times, but alas t seldom, those - who do follow out
side employment are eventually 'successful In
building up their profession; • Of the employments
which many of our young lawyers readily fall
Into, none probably gives support to so many as
the press; some are editors, some contributors,
some are reporters, some report the court proceed
ings for the dally papers, and some for the legal pe
riodical!; In this city-we could enumerate about
twenty lawyers whose principal Income Is from
newspapers and magazines. Some hold offices in
pnbUo boards and companies as secretaries, trea
surers, Ac. In the days when building aßßodatlons
were in their prime, there were a great number of
iawvers who wore secretaries for them, receiving an
average Ealary of $3OO per annum therefor. Of late
days, If one were required to enumerate the Phila
delphia lawyeiswho nave,in agreat measure, aban
doned their profession and “gone Into oil,’* he
might lighten his labors' by enumerating those who
have not gone into it. There are lawyers as agents,
lawyers as presidents, lawyers as superintendents,
lawyers as oil-land speculators, lawyers who operate
In oil stooks. In- short, there Is no part of the oU
business In which a lawyer may not be found." Of
course, all these businesses are very genteel. Law
yers could not be expeoted to enter into anything
that would prevent the wearing of fine broadcloth
and clean linen. Oh, no; and they don’t do any
thing of the kind, either. There Is a class of men
who call themselves lawyers—they are a disgrace to
the profession. They aro pettifoggers. They get
cases of a questionable character, and If, by getting
together false witnesses, they manage to make out
a case, they divide the fees with the client who Is
mean enough to allow his name to be used In the
case. Such men always make a living; they do not
Stop at anything, however low It may be. There
are some lawyers in this olty who, It Is said, have
grown rich In this way. They own houses and
lands. Such men are respected by those who bow
to the goldenjcalf, but by no others, certainly. All of
this was true when gold was the currency, and
creditjthe rule and cash the exception. In these
days, when paper Is the legal tender; when all bnsl-
Besß.ls done for oash; when no debts are contracted,
and consequently there are note to collect; when
people pay their debts In preference to owlngmoney,
It Is muoh more true. Asa proof of this we'iustauoe:
In the District Oourt of Philadelphia in the year
1857 there were 9,894 sultr entered. In the year
1863 there Were 8,613; In 1863,3,886; and last year,
3,646 ; showing a falling off In business In,this oourt
since 1857 of 6,249 writs; that is to say, there Is to
day about one third as much business as was done-
In 1857. Many of the profession anticipate a large
business in,the course of a year. They say the
present inflation of prices cannot stand, and when
the fall begins there will be a heavy crash, from
which few will escape. Thus lawyers are made pros
perous by the misfortunes of their friends.

THE MAN OF ICE.
The members of the Fairmount Engine Company
have made of ioe a very fair representation of a
man, the sire of life, and placed it in a nlohe in
front of their elegant house. The well-arranged
moustache, gracefully adorning the Up, and the
fob-chain ana seal, show that considerable talent
and patience have been exercised In the construc
tion of the figure. An innocent amusement has
thus been afforded to Voung America, who gaze
with pleasure upon the stately figure of the Fairy

THE POLICE.
, ' [Before Mr. Alderman Beltler. ]
A HEARING IN THE CASE OF MILTON G.
ALLEN, CUSTOM HOUSE CASHIER.
Milton G. Allen, toe cashier of toe custom house,
was arraigned at the Central Station yesterday
afternoon, on the oharge of being implicated in the
recent robbery at that place, a narrative of whloh
was published to The Press yesterday. '
Wm. B. Mann, Esq, District Attorney, appeared
for the prosecution; F. Carroll Brewster, Esq., and
Geo. H. Earle, Esq., for defence.
The office was crowded with anxious spectators.
The accused was'arraigned, and seemed to be quite.
unconcerned as the developments were made.
THE BVIPBSCE.
Colonel Wm. B, Thomas affirmed.—l am the col
lector of the port of Philadelphia; the defendant
Was Oathler In the customhouse; he was appointed
by toe secretary or the Treasury through my re-'
commendation; he entered no Security; he jhad
charge of nearly all toe money In the eastern house;
money to a oonaWera'uiß amount has bean rnlstid •
thirty-five or thirty-six thousand dollars, in gold
and Sliver, have been taken; I can’t say exactly
how muoh gold was taken; I think toe estimate of
the amount of money stolen Is about $80,00o; the
cashier receives all money paid by the merchants;'
It is our practice dally to deposit’ with the
Assistant Treasurer of the United states the
money received np to one o’clock each
day; no money Is received by the treasury
department later than this time; there are funds
permanently kept In the vault; we pay the money
into the Treasury upon requisitions or drafts made
upon us; do not know toe amount received'after 1
o’clock on toe day the robbery was discovered, nor
the amount of funds on hand; it was after 11 o’olook
on Friday morning; I was In my offloo; Mr. Alien
oame in and.told me that he had Wen robbed at hls'
house, and that toe keys of toe vault were stolen ; a
locksmith was then sent for; several were engaged,
but they oould not open the looks, two In number ;
In toe afternoon 1 ordered them to break a hole
through toe wall; Mr. Shedden, a smallfihaa. ana
the. locksmith went into the vault; the Touksmlth
took the locks off from toe Inside; tills was only the
work of a few minutes; the door being opened in
toe manner described, I entered the vault; my at
tention was' called to toe aonditton of the trank;
two or three bags of gold were on toe floor outside
the trunk; I picked them up and put them Into
the trunk; there were a number oftin pans hi toe
trunk, each containing some money;, toero were
three thousand dollars there; the sum of eight tffim
sand dollars should have been there; a pistol,
some chloroform and powder were there; toe
door of the . vault was looked when ,we first
went to it; there were two large, heavy looks upon
it; we hadresorted to every expedient to open them,
before I ordered the hole to bebroken In the wall;
this robbery is not the first that has ooourred ;
about a year ago we lost a bag of gold, containing
six thousand some hundred dollars; I have not
spoken to Mr. Allen about the chloroform or toe
pistol; In referenoe to the robbery of hls house, he.
pointed out a window In the second-story, opening
to a water-closet, as the place the robber entered;
toe’ second slat of toe Venetian blind was broken’
out, In order that the bolt might be pushed baok:
this was toe explanation given by defendant; as to
the way Ingress to’the house was gained: then he
thought the thief approached the chamber-door,
whloh was looked on the Inner-side; there was also
another door fastened on toe Inner-side; this was
the entry-doorway, leading, to the bath-room; the
door of toe bath-room was open; -the thief having
entered the bed-ohamber, took hls pocket-book,
containing between five hundred and six hundred
dollars, and removed hls watoh from under hls pil
low ; the pants and pooket-book were fuund Ia the
bath-room, toe door of which was looked from the
outside; the keys were in the door when I was
there; the deteetiveß examined them; I did not,
as I am not an expert in snoh matters; I
never saw- toe pistol said to have been found in the
vault at toe custom house; we havo two watchmen
at the custom house; toe building is undergoing
remodeling, but the cashier’s room la the Samoa!
ever; the vault Is on the same floor, not under
ground, as might be Inferred from the word vault;
it is in a separate apartment; the two watchmen
came on duty at seven o’clock in the evening and
remained on duty nnui seven o’olook In toe morn
ing ; I don’t know that any particular noise Is made
in locking or unlocking the vault door; the de
fondant was on duty day before the discovery of the
robbery; It was not until eleven o’clock on Friday
morning that he Informed me of the robbery at hls
house; I arrived at the custom house at half past
nine o’olock In toe morning; when defendant in-,
formed mo about the robbery, he did not say that
any effort had been made to open toe vault.
A paper of gunpowder and a vial of choloroform
wore here here placed on the magistrate’s desk.
The witness could not teH how they were placed
In toe vault. • , .
Witness continued; I examined the bath-room
window at the reslflenoe of Mr. Alien ; I think'a
thief could get through it; a thief might outer any
building; I did-mot take notice whether the snow
about the window or building had been displaced
outside; the window had been handled before I ar
rived there. The evidence in chief of . this witness
here closed. He was not cross-examined.
Joshua Taggort, of the detective force, sworn.—
I heard of this affair on Friday evening about six’
o’clock; Mr. Thomas, the collector of the port, hav
ing sent for me; I went to the house of the defend
ant on Saturday morning: I saw the defendant at
the house; I examined all the approaches 'to the
house in the rear; the alleged entrance wasn small
window which certainly could be reached by means
of a ladder of sufficient length; I could not see that
any dust on the outside of the building had been re
moved or marked; the building is partly wood and
portly brick: Officer George Smith got ok the fence
to ascertain if be oonld get in through the window :
by that means; In all the attempts he Made he left
Ms mark to the fine dust that usually settles upon
the surface of briok walls; he then made marks pur
posely to. show that the slightest touch left an im
pression ; by opening the door of the lower water,
closet, and standing on thetopof It, he might reach
within fifteen inches of the place where toe slat of
toe Venetian blind had been removed from; the slat
was shown to me; I was told that it had been picked
up to toe yard in toe morning; I am very
well satisfied that the slat was pushed from
toe outside, or pulled towards from .toe In
side ;' toe marks show this on' the side
of toe frame; the Indications prove, this to a
certainty; there Is not the least doubt but that the
glass to toe sash would have been broken by the re
moval of the slat Jrom toe outside, to the manner
which the marks certainly indicate; on this point I
have not a doubt; I waß Informed that the sash
was down; lam positive that'toe sash must have
been raised from toe Inside, and then toe slat was
removed by pulling it towards; no ■ man, by taking
every care, could escape making some kind of a
mark to attempting to get through the window from
the outside; there was so mark of any ladder to the
snow or yard; Mr. Smith, who was acting with me.
had gone Into a room, and Mrs. Allen was explain
ing to him that both doors were locked, and that
the bath-room door was found locked to the morn
ing on toe entry side; lam sure, beyond all doubt,
toatno “nippers” had been used on the keys of the
doors that were fastened; I have cleaned toe pistol;
funpowder Is nsed by professional thieves; I think
know where this powder came from, (powder found
to vault exhibited;) professional thieves always übo
a tose; It would not take as muoh powder as in this
paper to blow a look off; the powder Is put Into the
key hole, then the fuse Is applied and lighted, then
toe robbers leave the building, and wait until the
explosion occurs; they watch to see. the ef
fect; if toe chances are In their favor,
they return to the building: If not, If the report of
toe explosion attracts public attention, toe robbers
take toe advantage and keep themselves shady; I
never knew a burglar to remain to a building until
toe explosion occurred. A lot of fuse was here ex
hibited. That Is the material used by safe-blowers;
toe.defendant never said anything to me about Ms
finances; last night Mr. Franklin asked him about
hls receipts and disbursements; he declined answer
ing any questions; he gave no explanation what
ever; toe watchmen assorted, to the presence of
Allen, that no man could have entered toe building
on that night.
Mr. Collector Thomas recalled.—l have had very
little to say to him to regard to hls private affairs;
X think he said he was about to purchase a factory
in Delaware county; he has stated that he owned
very considerable stock to different oil companies.
George H. Smith sworn.r-I have been at the
custom house, and have examined the premises
well; to company with Messrs. Blackburn and
Tagaert made many experiments; we went there
for that express purpose; the entrance doors from
toe vestibule to toe main room, that must be en
tered in'Order to get to the apartment where the
vault Is looated, are arranged with pulleys, and they
make a very peculiar noise when toe doors are
opened or closed; either swift er slow movements,
toe noise made Is very singular; I make no mistake
about this effeot of the opening or closing toe doors;
these are doors that must be opened to get Into the
room where the Watchmen were; when toe vault
door Is opened a very singular sound occurs; to one
unaccustomed, it Is rather startling; while I was
looking at and examining toe windows, Mr. Blaok
bum and one of the watchmen either doßed or
opened toe vault door; the attending noise startled
me; I turned quickly, and said, “What the devil
Is that 1” the .noise sounded like the groan of a
person; never heard such a singular noise made by
The watchmen and sevend other witnesses w«e
called, but not being present, a further Investiga
tion waß postponed, the magistrate asking that ball
to the amount of $BO,OOO be given, .
® r ' F. O. Brewster, for defence, was surprised at
such a demand. In the ease of the Pennsylvania
Bank, where there was a deficit of $260,000, only
$lO,OOO ball was required, yve are ready to give
bail to the amount 0£48,000 or $lO,OOO.
•Mr. Mann remarked that the ball ought not to
be fixed at less than $25,000.
Mr. Brewster. The Constitution requires that ex
cessive bail shall not be required.
Mr. Mann. A person to a case like this might
readllypay $6,000 or $lO,OOO ball. "
. Alltbat the magistrate need do is
to fix the bail at such an amount-as to insure the
attendance ofthe defendant.
Alderman Beltler thought that the amount al
leged to have been stolen would be about fair-, he
could not see that It was exoeselve to such a case as
this.
Mr. Brewster alluded to other heavy defalcations
where only $lO,OOO ball was required. In the ease
of Judge Vondersmlth, where the sum was $70,000.
only $7,000 ball was required. ’ ’
Mr. Mann. Those eases, alluded to by the learned
gentleman, were simply technical; that ol Vonder
smlth was forgery. In a case like this, I should
thick that $26,000-wonld be sufficient. *
The magistrate responded. affirmatively to the
suggestion of the District Attorney, and the baa
aemanded to await a further hearing was fixed at
benjamin B. ThomaSj a brother to Collector
Thomas, offered himself as surety. During a close
examination, he said that he. could not say that his
real estate to Philadelphia was worth oyer $16,000,
but considered, with his farm to Bucks county, he
was worth $25,000 after all his debts being paid.
Mr, Mann insisted that freehold security Is de
manded, and it must be on real estate located to
FhUadelphia county.
Mr. Brewster did not know of any rule of this
kind: Does the learned District Attorney say that
if a stranger was arrested in Pittsburg that a Phila
delphian, who was competent,would not betaken
as-bail to suoha ease i •
“ I don’t know anything about that,’’ replied Dis
trict Attorney Mann; “ that would have to be deol*
ded to Pittsburg s I only allude to the rule to Phi
ladelphia.’’ \
Mr. Thomas withdraws. The magistrate rises.
11 Who Is the officer having my ollent In charge I’’
asked Mr. Brewsterr
“Mr. Geo. H. Smith,” replied the magistrate.
“Well,sir,” responded-Mr. Brewster, “I want
him to take the man as demanded by the warrant.”
“ I suppose he will properly attend .to hls duty,”
replied Mr. Beltler; and thus the first hearing to
the great robbery at the Custom House closed.
The accused stands committed.

The property consists of one hundred and thirty (iffij)
acres, in fee simple, of valuable Lubricating Oil Land,
comprised of three tracts, situate upon ihe right bank of
Sugar Creek, Venango county, Pennsylvania. Sugar
Creek runs on & course nearly parallel with Oil Greek,
at a distance of about seven miles zrom it. Xt ri&6B near
the headwaters of Oil Creek, and empties into Frenoh
Creek, above Franklin. The Company’s property has
been carefully selected, and has all the usual surface
indication of rood oil, territory. -One hundred ahresof
the land are flat or bottom land, with a front on the
Creek and Hastings’ Run of mile, giving an
abundant space for drilling a large number of oil
wells. Wells of Lubricating Oils have been struck on
adjoining farms.both above and below, upon the creek,
and a well yielding twenty barrels per day is within
one-fourth of a mile above the Company’s property on
Sugar Creek. The Russell Oil Company’s lands are
situated immediately- opposite this tract upon Sugar
Creek.
The wells In this vicinity yield thp Lubricating OH,
worth per barrel double the price which is paid for the
Oil Creek oil; and although the W’ells are smaller, yet
it is believed that oil As more certainly obtained as the
result of the drillings, Th* large front upon the creek,
to be owned by the Company In fee simple, will of
course prevent any interference with the wells. It
is proposed to lease to responsible parties small lots
upon the Company’s lands, the lessees paying all the
ezpdues of drilling, Ac., upon- the usual terms, viz;
Delivering to this Company one-half of all the oil pro
duced free of expense. The Company will retain a
large-working capital, to be employed in drilling a
number of wells. All necessary machinery will be at
pjwesenttothefarm.; No reasonable doubt can be en
tertsined that, as the result-of these operations,'large
yields of oil will be .obtained, paying handsome divi
dends to the subscribers. .

it is the oilgas that rises to the surface and burns upon
the water. , This property consists of an area of ,1,188
acres of magnificent oil and mineral ianda.of which the
Company owns an nndiyidedhalf interest infeesim
pie,- extending IK miles on the Kanawha river, which
is navigable to the Ohio. Other streams, tributaries of
the Kanawha, traverse this tract, presenting alongtheir
marginß every surface indication of a rich yieldof oil.
The Company holds the right to pnt down wells all over
this extensive boring surface, and oil has already been
discovered on this property .mar the river,' at the depth
of 88 feet. The sinking of two wells to the depth of 800
feel, tfnerassary .was provided for in the purchase of
the land, all of which is paid for without touching the
working or reserved capital of the Company. In addi
tion to this, the Company owns an important interest
(also paid Tor) in a well located within 400 yards of the
freatXewellyn well, Which has flowed 2,800 barrels per
ay, and is directly among the celebrated Bathbone
group (see map). These are, it is said, the greatest pro
dncmg wells ha the country. The former owners of
this wen were frrced to abandon it on the breaking out
of the rebellion, hut the Omnpanyhas now made ar
rangements lo reopen and tune it, when a large yield of
oil may reasonably he expected from this source alone..
In addition to the ahoye described properties, the Com
pany owns In fee simple some 400 acres of mineral lands
in Pennsylvania. This Company is most fortunate in
possessing every facility for rapidly developing the oil,
having- on its own property Both Sober and coal in
great abundance,, and in also h&ving the resident Su*

The attention of the entire community Is .now drawn
to the-development of the. new source of national
wealth—Pbtkomu*. Many schemes are presented,
and the Question is no longer “Shall I invest?” bat
“Wheke shall I iHvfiST?” Failures arise from in
judicious selections of territory, and had local manage
ment. Where these things are obviated success must
follow. -This Company Claims to have reached the de
sired end. They have one hundred end forty-six acres
of land in fee simple, and the entire working interest
in six of the most valuable leases of the Batheonh Es
tate on Burning Spring Bun, Wirt County, West Vir
ginia; and an engineer of extended experience In the de
velopment of Petroleum as Superintendent.
Their estates are all in the midst of wells that have
been and are producing large quantities of oSfcaudope
ratlons have already been commenced. Failures oh
Burning Spring Bun are comparatively unknown, and
it has proved Itself for its limited development superior
to Oil Creek, in Pennsylvania. -
. They make jio allegations of the existence of boohs
Companies, but challenge the most scrutinising inquiry
into the character of their estates, and will furnish
