The following are the names of the jury j—Samuel Sha fer, Peter Barton. Wesley Peruew, William Smith. W. C. Wisegarver, Adam Shafer, Thomas C. Garrett, Thomas M. Lynch, Joseph Imler, Adam F. Wolford, Kphraim Men iter, Abram Shroycr. The Defendant is charged in the indictment as accessory before the fact. The following are witnesses for the com monwealth : J. W. Li ngenftiter —l held inquest on the body of Irederick C. Mock on the 12th of October last at Mock's "wn house in St. Clair township. Saw a gun shot wound; 'he bullet appeared to have entered the left heart and took downward course acresa tho breast, and came out on the right side about two inches or more lower than where 't had entered. In my opinion that wound would pro 'iuee death. lam not a physician; did not make a post mortem examination. Jacob Berkheimer~~l was at the ejection house in St. ' lair township cn the llth ot last Oeiaber; saw Fred. C, •'lock there frequently during the day; law Trout i then : h whole parcel of us stayed there to hear the result of the election; while wc were standing there some of us j commenced talking about stamps—that everything had to be stampvd; Mark Houser said there was a man draf ted, he reported, was examined and found disabled, they just put a stamp on him and that exempted him. • • j Houser remarked something about the Harbaugh stamps, I and as he said that, G> D, Trout was standing a little : pieec off ; Trout came up and said Houser was a d <i blackguard and scoundrel: Huuser said you are H geutle i man. dunt strike me, J aiu on the election ground; Sutors •aid something. I cant recollect what; Trout said if he ; was as young as Suitors he sou Id • * * * Aleui i wm< there and used pretty much the same language as front did to Houser and Suitors: I heard him say that if anybody sbouid strike him, he (Aleir, puttiug his baud on his breast) said he could strike as hard as any of them, or harder than any of them; Squire V alters came out of the election room and told them that the board said they innst be more quiet out tbere; they still quarreled a little but did not wake so much noise: the officers came out to the door and Harry Mock read off the result of the elec tion: Sutors said three cheers for the democratic ticket; as tbey were eheering I and Frederick C. Mock started off two or throe rods and stopped: two of my boys were back ami they wanted to go along home; there was a cheer for the Harbaugh stamp; Sutors said three cheers for the Harbaugh stamp; there was a little cheer and then we heard there was a fuss: we went back; Mock a couple of yards before, and when I came up there A lew Trout was scrabbling up behind the crowd, and said that somebody had hit him: ho said Mock had bit him: Mock denied it saying he hadn't seen Alein's face: Mock said that some body had tramped on his feet and in the act of pulling back as Alem was falling he might have touched hiin, but he didn't think he had: Morg. Pressor said Mock hud hit Trout; Mock said he was a liar, or anybody that would say it, and pushed Prosser back; when he did that one of the soldiers pointed his gun at Mock and told him to dry up; Mock in same way put his up and said d- n you, I can shoot as quick as you can; then they drew their guns back and didn't shoot; then Alem Trout and the soldiers ordered us off the ground; I told Mock and my two boys that we would go on home: we were nearly the first that started off the ground after the fuss: Mock took no part in the fracas. * * As we got through Reiningers field a straight cut that went to Mock's house a quarter of a mile from his house, my son said just as we got round the barn, there is some Cavalry earning toward us: we w tlked until we got within eight or ten steps of them: they were coming slowly, riding abreast; the middle one halted us; some one was setting behind the middle one on the same horse: I asked what was wrong: he said I want that man with his gun to come and deliver up his gun; Mock re plied he had no State rifle; d n you, says the soldier, come up br.re, I know you; Mock went up and handed up his gun: he jerked it out of his hand aud said d n you now walk on ahead, wc are going to take you to Bedford to-night; Mock said if i must I must, and started and took off his shot pouch and handed it to my son John and told him to take it up to my house; I and my sons went up to Mrs. Mock's: she asked us to go back and try to save him; we staid there until tbey had time to go to Alum Bank, about three-fourths of a mile, when we heard two loud shots, aud in about five minutes after we heard two more shots; we left then and went on home; it is about one and thcee-fourths of a mile from the election house to where Mock was arrested, I cannot tell whether they were the same soldiers that were at the election house: they come from the direction of Moek's house. I saw six soldiers at the election house that day: they were sometimes be tween the election house 'and the barn and sometimes walked past the election house. They didn't say what they arrested Mock for. Cross Examined. —l was at the election house from nine or ten in the morning all day; there was no distur bance until after the polls closed; it might have been an hour after tic polls closed before there was any fight : Mr. Tront lives there: Alem lives there on the premises. It was in the afternoon that 1 saw some soldiers going up to the Ridge: I saw six with soldier cloths on in the forenoon; I did not see any soldiers meddle with anybody that day: they did not disturb anybody that I saw. Mock had his rifle over there when I came: a good many had arms: I think fifteen or twenty had guns; maybe more He I Mock) said in the road going home, that he had a revolver I saw Alem getting up and wiping his face; he said be was knocked down; I was about four paces from bim when he wa.- getting up; Mock was a couple bf steps from him with his back toward him; I didn't hear Alem say to the soldiers to arrest Mock: Gideon Trout owns the property. In reply to a question as to what he un derstood about the Harbaugh stamp, the witness said: I understood it as Trout did I suppose; that it was about the Harbaugh child. The language about the stamp was repeated different times, before Mr. Trout resented it. It is likely that neither Gideon Trout nor Alem used any bad language or said a word out of the way, until after the insulting language toward them. Mock mostly carried his gun; he was going on fifty years old; in his fiftieth year: I saw Trout come over from his house and stand there talking with Mr. Buckley, and then these fellows commeuccd their blackguard talk: ! often saw Alem at tending store: Mr. Mock took no part in the dirty conver sation. except that he said he had been out after hogs, and if they had put a stamp on every fool he left, tbey would have ruu out. The disturbance commenced be tween eight and nine o'clock in the evening: a moon light night. Dr. J. L. Marbourg —Exauied the body of Fred. C. Mock on the 12th of Oct., at bis house: was shot with a ball; apparently a musket ball: it was the cause of his death; didn't open the body, didn't think it WAS neces sity. Har.-iet Uriffith —T am neighbor to Frederick Mock: bis daughter came and called my husband to go after her father: was sitting on my door sill, and heard the reports of four guns: saw the flashes of t ie two first guns; it was between eight aud nino o'clock at night: I saw the body afterwards at Irvin Reininger's abont an hour after he was killed; the soldiers were leaving the house as we came up: they looked at us. *' Sarah Mocl —l was at home on the evening of the 11th Oct.; am a daughter of Fred. C. Mock; mother was there and sister: three men in soldiers'clothes came across the fence toward the house: another person was with thrin. who had no soldiers' clothes on: they asked for the man of the bouse; I t!d them he wa-n't at home: that he had gone to Berks! ine?': fhev went round and looked in at th<- windows; they had left their horses in the big road; they called are n liar, when I told them he wasn't at home: tbey left and went down the road towards Alum Bank: 1 went down to Mr. Griffith's: i went to go to my father's, and about the time I got to the middle of the buckwheat field they shot him, and seared me. and I went home: I heard the reports of the glint: there were fonr: I conld not see the flashes: they were pretty close together: I heard no scream; 1 didn't see the body until they fetch ed bim houie; I can't tell who brought him there: I didn't know who was with the soldiers; I was afraid of the sol diers and "locked the door: I was afraid they were after him: 1 was at heme when he started iu the morning; I kuewhe had a pistol: he had it six months or so: it bad five balls. Joseph D. Sled • —Testimony as to the difficulty afier closing of the polls about tbe same as the witness Berk heimer. Alum told soldiers that Mock had struck him, and to go and arrest tbe d—d black bearted son of a b—h, and if he wouldn't come back or give up, or something like that, to shoot his d—d black heart out; he told the soldiers what roads to take. • * Alem told nouscr if be didn't stand buck he would shoot his d—d heart out. Cross Examined. —lt was about dark when I went hack with tuy spring wagon : I off ered to hitch iny horse to the bannisters ; Alem told tut to go fnrthi r: Sheriff .Aldstadt told me to bitch where I d—d please; I didn't see the difficulty between the soldiers and the Sheriff: the soldiers were close by when the eenversation took place between Mock and them: Mck said he hadn't struck Alem: Alem wanted the soldiers to arrest Mock because he had struck him, I didn't know whether there was an officer or not; I saw six soldiere: they were out back of the crowd when they had the fracas: I saw Mock draw the gun on the soldier, after the soldier pointed his gun at Mock. John AldntaHt—l was at Tront'aon the 11th of October; was there awhile in the forenoon; went to the place, (Ald stadt's farm,) and got back about an hour before su down; I took the notion to stay there until the election was closed, to hear the returns; in the evening between six and seven o'clock there was a party standing round; about 16, I think, and tbey got to talking about stamp#, (The witness prvwi ftt this part is mUunce tjio &l ] already given by Berkheimer.) Mr. Trout saidjthosc men , had no right, after the (lection, to be upon the ground, j they had aright to go home; 1 told him I thought we had ; a right to be thore: he said I had no business there: it wasn't my election: 1 told him I thought I had a right to go where I pleased, as long as T behaved myself: he said that I was a sniggering nud laughing round abont through the crowd; that he could understand very welt l what they meant by the Harhaugb stamp; I told him 1 didn't knew what it meant, l'or my share; he said he knew better, T did know what ij meant, aud 1 told him again J didn't: then Alem caine running up and ordered off Henry lobes' son, saying that he had no business there: that that was hi? ground and not Heury Ickes' ground; this was before Waiters came out; be came out soon after, and said that the board had ordered him to eonie out to quiet the noise, or the board would have to leave; they talked some more, hut didn't talk so loud; the election waselosed in 26 minutes: may be more: Henry Mock came out short ly after that axid read the returns of the election; Trout and me were then standing on the pavement in front of the election houee: then Lew. Suters und Mark Houser and others, may be four or five, said that tbey would go home, aud went into the road, may be a rod from the elec tion pavement: Lew. Suters remarked, we will give three cheers; I think for Gem. McClellan; three cheers were giv er ; Lew. Suters remarked again, we would give three cheers for the Harbaugh stamp; 1 think there were no cheers given for that, to the best of my knowledge; then Mr. Trout left the pavement and went out into the crowd where Lew. Suters was: I went into the crowd aud com manded the peace; Trout and Suters had hold of each oth er; then the soldiers came and pushed tne out of the crowd with their bayonets, clear up to the election house; I saw Trout falling through the legs of the men; I remain ed there; they kept me there; I heard Alem Trout order the soldiers to arrest Fred. Moe.k; that Mock had struck him with a gun; 1 think two of the soldiers left me, and went towards the crowd, where Alem was; I could not see what was done, as the crowd was between me and them; Suters then went home: • Cross Examined. —l was High Sheriff of Bedford County on the 11th of Oct. last; I voted at Bedford Bor ough; 1 might have hurried to get my vote in: I saddled my horse after I voted; I reached the polls u little after dinner; I might have remained there two or two and a-balf hours, may he not so long: my farm is about two and a-half miles from the polls at St. Clair; 1 returned to the polls about half an hour after sun down; I made the information with Crissman in this case before Esquire Nicodeinus; I sent a proclamation to be put up ut the window of the polls: I didn't scatter thein through St. Clair township: it was at the time that Alem said that Mock had knocked him down:theat he(Alem)called upon the soldiers to arrest Mock: I might have said it was not necessary to have a township bull; but I ilid not say that we had one already; I think that I seized both Trout and Suters; I did not know that Suters cauie back und struck Trout. John W. Crissman. —Was at the election * * Some one said what are you going to call the Stamp; I made mention I suppose the Harbaugh Stamp; directly Mr. Trout came out in a great passion; said we were a set of d d blackguards, and he and Houser quarreled a good spell; Trout and Sutors got to talking very high; I can't tell whether it was then Walter came out. Trout ordered them off the ground: the Sheriff told him he thought he had as much right there as anybody else if he behaved himself; Walter told them they must be quiet. I didn't see Mock in that crowd. Alem said if any man insulted him, or laid hauds on him, he would blow bis heart out. Soon after the result was read out I started right home ; didn't wait one minute. Cross examined —They came after me and I came to town and made information with Aldstadt; I believe I mentioned the Harbaugh Stamp first: I knew that the Harbaugh Stamp referred to Mr. Trout's conduct with Miss Harbaugh. John Piaster —Was at the election on 11th of October. * * * Sutors proposed three cheers for the Har baugh Stamp: no one cheered but himself that I remem ber: Trout was about a rod off: he run at Sutors and struck him: they got clinched at arms length; Fred. C. Mock was not taking any part in the difficulty. Sutors extricated himself and struck Trout and Trout fell: tight in the heat of the quarrel, Alem put iu a word occasion ally: he was in a raging passion; run his hand in his breast under his coat; Alem said you men can't go any where without carrying revolvers: that touched me a lit tie and I said you ought not to say anything, you, if I am not mistaken, carry one. "If any one molested him or insulted him he would blow their heart out." I heard him aecusing'Mock of knocking him down with a gun : Mock said he had not, if he had he did not do it inten tionally; the lie WBS given bajjt and forward. There was six soldiers there that day that had their horses in Mr. Trout's stable. Cru* Examined —The soldiers didn't meddle with any body; didn't sec Mock take Morgan Prosser by the throat. I had a revolver; there were a great many guns there ; there inay haqe been fiftoen or twenty men there with guns, maybe more. The commencement of the talk was after the voting was done and some considerable time af ter the polls were closed. 1 took it as an insult to Mr. Trout. J didn't see either of the Trout* did anything wrong. Abtwr Griffith- the election as Inspector; the first quarrel was before the p'-ils closed;! did not here the blackguard language ihat has been repeated here. Esq., Walter and Sam Sliek, deputy constable were in ami 1 directed them to command the peace; the fuss disturbed us in onr duties. Between band 7 o'ciock—at 7 we closed the polls according to law. After that we went in to eount out : pretty ncareigli o'clock wc concluded coun ting: the result was announced by Mr. Mock: I heard Mr Trout and his son Alcm -wearing and tearing around there: their's were tbe <mly voices that disturbed us: the others were more out farther off. ((.''included next week.)' A Rebel Dash into Cumberland—Capture of (sens. Crook and Kelly. On Tuesday morning, about two o'clock, a force of rebels, stated at one hundred and sixty, made a dash into Cumberland, Md., aud took Gens. Crook and Kelly prisoners. The rebels wore the U. S. blue over-coat. About fifty entered the town from the direction of the New Creek road, our pickets having been cut off by a "Hank" movement, and captured. The rebels then coolly rode into the town in small squads. Three or four ot them rode up to the llarnuni Hotel, and enquired of the senti nel tor Gen. Kelly. The sentinel supposing them to be Union scouts, gave the information that he j was there in his rooms. Upon turning to resume i his beat he was seized and overpowered, and the General taken a prisoner in his room. A similar mode was practiced at the Reveire House, the head quarters of Gen. Crooks, resulting iti his capture. The rebels at once retreated in the direction ofltoiu ney. A detachment of cavalry was sent in pursuit after some delay; they came up with the retreating enemy during tne day. (Tuesday.) and captured two or three of his men: but the U. S. officer (a Lieuten ant) in command, refused, as we hear, to allow his men to charge, and the enemy was permitted to con tinue his retreat without further molestation that day. There is said to have been a large force in and around Cumberland, variously stated at from five to ten thousand men. There were three companies of cavalry in the town. Besides the Generals, a num ber of privates were captured. These achievements of a handful of a vagrant enemy, in a populous city, in the presence of our army, looks bad for us. To General Kelley and his friends the affair is peculiar ly mortifying just now, if as rumor has it. the Gen eral was to have been married to a young lady of Cumberland the 6th of next month.

SAMUEL DAVIS, Bedford, Pa J. M. SHOEMAKER, " " G. W. RUPP, " " The property of this company is all owned in fee sim ple and is all paid for, and consists of the following tracts: Ist. That valuable island, known a the "Lower Stump Creek Island," containing 2 acres and 93 perches, situated in the Allegheny river, at tbe mouth of the Clarion river. On this island a derrick was erected in the spring of 1861, and an engine placed on the grounds, but the war break ing out, the partiei sold off and enlisted. 2d. The "Upper Stump Creek Island," situated but a few rods above the lower island, containing 1 acres and 20 perches, 4 acres of which are owned by this company, on which are erected a house, stable. Ac. Neither of these islands is liable to overflow, and both are well protected by stone and trees againct washing. By reference to the map of Pennsylvania, it will be observed that the Clarion riv er empties into the Allegheny at a point doe south from Oil Creek, and as oil is found at Fret-port, on this line further south, we have every reason to believe that these islands are in the very centra of the great oil belt of Penn sylvania. Besides all this, they lie far below the coal measures. The cotitpauy also owns 1 acre and 61 perches of land about 5} miles above the upper island, at the mouth of Ritchcy Run. near the town of Emlenton, Venango Co., Pa., upon which is the celebrated Fox and Widel well, with new engine, derrick, building, Ac., Ac., and well bor ed to the depth of 420 feet. This wellVas tnbed at 350 feet, and in a few hours pumping yielded about one bar rel of oil, but the proprietors determined to sink it deep er, and the company will, as soon as possible, sink this well if necessary to the depth of 1600 feet or more. The "Stump Islands Company" ownes the tchuU interest in well, fixtores nd land, and "Development Fund" will be amply suffieieut to complete this well and sink others in the Islands. There is besides, room enough on the - Ritchey RunUact for several more wells. The property owned by this company is all practical boring territofS#JUid persons acquainted with the lands along the Allegheny and other oil streams, will bear tes tiinonv that we have more practical boring surface face than many of the 300 acre tracts contain. In addition to this, one basis will compare favorably, with the large majority of Companies, whose Capita} stock is five times as great- The services of an efficient Superintendent have been obtained, and the Directors are determined to prosecute operations vigorously.
