About the 30lh of last month a new well ,vus struck on the Curtalu Oil Company’s i.aot, Lowor Cherry run. At iirst it pro duced only nhroe or four birrels por day. but Ibo product has been steadily increased and now is twelve barrels daily. Recently while a man was attempting to to cross the Reading .Railroad at the wood crossing near. Creasnua, with'a horse and wagon,, they were struck by an eugiDC. The horse was killed and the wagon broken to spliuters.. Not long since a new twenty barrel well was struck on theHydukoopor farm. Holm* dou run, near Pithole. At present the pro duct is black in color like that of the other wells on the farm, but there nro indications that this well will produce sopie green oil, George Barlollc, of Port Jervis, retailed some minty stories about a Miss Honker, when Miss Honker, armed with a cowhide, culled Mr. B. out of a saloon and adminis tered to him tiiverul severe cuts about the face and head, at which all said, served him right.

Not long since v.-hllo an excavation was being made on the highway which crosses the Hast Diamond, in Waterford, Crawford county, tho remains of a human being were found which were supposed to bo those of a French soldier who must have been buried there about one hundred and twenty years ago. A lad named Henry laenberg, fifteen years of age, accidentally shot himself a few days ago while hunting in White twp., Indiaua county, the ball entering his right side and creutiug a wound wnich caused his death in a few hours after being carried to his home by a number of men who were at work near the scene of tho unfortunate oc currence. Tho National Horse Fair, at Williams port, attracted considerable attention in that section of the State, und there wpre also preaenti representatives from New York, Ohio, and other localities. Enterprises to improve the breed of that noble animal, the horse, caunot bo too fully and cordially enoouraged, but mere gambling arrange ments shoifid be discouraged. They injure rather than advance the real, legitimate purposes of li.orso fairs. A few day? ago a,new oil well wosstruok on the Buchanan Farm Oil Company's tract, on the Bouth side of the Allegheny riyer, about one railo below Venango City. The production is now ten barrels per day. This well is believed to bo on the same bell as that on which the wells on Sage ran are situated. These wells, are about one mile from the river, and it is highly probable that tho territory Intervening between them and the new well mentioned above is pro? ductlve. .

Mr. t KeLer accepted the-apple, and shortly.-afterwards he eat it About two hours after he had eaten it he was seized with convulsions, and at the last accounts was Jn a most critical condition. No clue to the murderer, ortho motive for the crime, has as yet been found. The organization of militia* companies throughout the State still goes on. The Adjutant General’s Department recently .shipped arms to the following parties: Capt. Franklin Clapp, Delaware county Zpuaves, Medis, Delaware county, 100 mus*' kots and accoutrements; Capt. L. Mar shall, Dayton Blues, Dayton, Armstrong county, 50 muskets and accoutrements; Capt. 8. R. Btowarf,* Company I, Philadel phia Fire Zouaves, G 1 muskets and accoutre ments. Recently, as Dr. Blair, of Mercersburg, was returning homo from the “Corner,” he was confronted by a masked man who, pre senting a revolver, ordered him to halt and demanded bis money. The doctor not being armed delivered up his pocket book cou taining about fifteen dollars. The doctor thon went to the bonse of Mr. Brewbaker, borrowed a gun, and went in puranlt of the man. After following him seven or eight miles, he came in contact with him, when Beveral shots were exchanged, but owing to the darkness they were not effective. The man is a known desperado, and it is hoped he will yet be taken. The fall official returns of the recent State election show that for Governor, Geary, Re publican, received 290,552 votes, and Packer, Democrat, 285.950 votes —a Republican ma jority ol 4590, in a total vote of 570,408. For Supreme Judge, 'Williams’ majority is 8703. This volo shows a large fulling off, as com pared with thoso at the Pennsylvania elec tions last year. In November, 1868, for President, the total vote cast was 655,002, the Republican majority being 28,898, and in October, 1808, for Auditor General, it was 053,200, the Republican majority being 9677. Nearly eighty thousand citizens who voted for President last year, did not vole this year. ‘ The Johnstown correspondent of the Cambria Jfreeman administered this dose to a mean man : ‘*A telegram was sent over tho wires to Johnstown, signed by one Mr. Jos. H. Man, to the effect that Geary and Williams were elected and adding, “How ts Mt. Pershing?” We do not know whether it was A/an-ly in that gentleman to ask such a question, but we can assure him that Mr. Pershldg never sought the office, and while liia election would have honored the State, it could not have honored him more than he j-eally is already honored. How ever, ns the groat Webster once said, “The missile, though hurled with malice, will fall harmlessly at his feet.” When Alex ander the <3rent conquered Poros he treated him “like a king,” restoring his dominions and adding much now territory. He pos sessed the attribute ofmagnanimity. “How is Mr. Man ?" Mr. Linn, residing near Concord, Frank lin county, bad a very unpleasant encoun ter recently. He saw a bear near bis resi dence, and, procuring a rifle, shot at him. Tho bear fell and Mr. Lino supposed that ho had killed him. On going up to him, however, the bear sprang to bis feet, and, as quick as a flash of lightning, struck Mr. Linu senseless to the grouud. He jumped upon the body, attacked it savagely and bit one of Mr. Linn’s arms se rely. In the meantime other persons upproached with dogs and despatched the bear. Had it not been for this timely assistanee, Mr. Linn would doubtless have boon torn to pieces. As it was, be was pretty severely injured, but is now improving. It is said that there is a large number of bears on the mountains above Concord, having left the Alleghenies to feast themselves on Chestnuts, which are very plenty in that neighborhood. From Nashville, Tenn, Nashville, Oct, 26.—Andrew Johm;on is still iu Nuuhville, aud gossip is busy as to what part bo will next play. The rumor is current that lie will be a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, and be the lead ing spirit of that body. His friends throw out mysterious nuns iimt no Win couio vui all right altera while,which probably means tliat ho will boßrownlow’s successor when ever that functionary shuffles off tho mor tal coll, or in case the Senatorial Pastor per sists in clinging to lifo, then Andy will run for tho Governor’s Chair the next chance. Johnson is eoro over his defeat and lays the blame, it is said, at the door of Edmund Cooper, because that geu tlornan snw tit to support his own brother. Ho undoubtedly felt under obligations to Johnson, but did not consider them suffici ently strong to carry his vote, when his brother was tho rival candidate. It has not vet been decided when tho Con - stitutional Convention Is to meet, but it will likoly convene before tho first of next yenr. Tho Legislature is passing through its business pretty rapidly, and among other reforms is, cutting down expenses in every possib'e direction. A Case for Contest. The oflicial.mojority for Hiram Findlay for Senator in* the Somerset diatriot is just 23 votes. His Republican opponent, Ed ward Scull, Esq., at present revenuo asses sor for tbe Congressional district, is alleged to claim an olection.by 17 votes. Here is a difference of 40 votes. Thero ia no allegation of fraud on either sidp, except what grows out of the dispute concerning these vote?. The disagreement arises jn this way: The township of Allegheny, an Somerset county, a remote district lyiDgon the border of Bedford county, gave Mr. Findlay a majority of 40 votes. This is tho usual Democratic majority, varying very little from year to year. Packer’s majority at tho same poll was 39, and Seymour leu Grant 39 votes last year. There is not tho slightest pretense that any tote cast in this township was illegal. If any charge of Iraud were made, its trulh could be easily ascertained, as every voter in tho township can bo found, and his claim to tho suffrage established or disproved. Counting those 40 votes for Mr. Findlay, his majority is 23, as abovo. Throwing them out altogether, Mr. Scull’s majority is 17 votes. But on the day, Friday last, when tho return judges met in Somerset, the member of the board from Allegheny township took with him the tally paper which should have been deposited in the ballot box, and left sealed in the box the certificate ot the elec tion, officers giving the number of votes cast for each candidate, which lie should have produced. When this discovery was bad, a motion was made that tbe board ad journ until the next day (Saturday) to ena ble this member to produce the return. The motion did not prevail, but it was agreed to adjourn till niidnigbt for tho purpose. But tho distanco offiftv mile?, over rough road?, betweeu Somerset and the place of holding elections in Allegheny township could not be made in timo, even by killing a horse or two. The Return Judge did not arrive at the hour, and the board proceeded to count up the vote of the county, omitting that of Allegheny township. With this defective return, tho Somerset Senatorial Judge was sent to Bedford. Bui the Return Judges counted up all the vote?, declaring Hiram Findlay elected. Tht- Return Judge from Somerset seceded, or ganized blm&elf into a board , appointed a clerk, and connling up the returns, omit ting those from Allegheny township, do* dared Edward Scull elected by seventeen majority. This is a plain statement of tbe Scull- Findlay contested O ise. It is scarcely credi ble that Mr, Scull will come before tbe Legislature and claim a seat in the Senate with a claim so barren of right as this. On his own motion ho will not, and it is not possible that he will heed the promptings of such men as Covode and Cessuu, who would delight at the opportunity of putting a cast’ liko this through an unscrupulous Legisla ture. If the attempt should be made the case would become as infamous as Covode’a claim to a seat in Congress based on u supplementary proclamation. It would be worse in one respect. Cavode claimed his soat on the alleged ground of fraud. This would be a miserable attempt to take ad vantage of an informality. In both cases there is.the convenient Return Judge who secedes from the convention and constitutes : himself into a Board* But there is no ne cessity in pursuing this matter further. ■ It is not likelv that it will over be heard of m the next legislature. Onr purpose was merely,to present tho correct state of tho Patriot. An •* Interviewer ’’JCanglit at Unit. A Cincinnati reporter went-to interview ox-President Johnson, on 4bo Senatorial question und. politics generally, and this is what he got for his trouble: “As a general thing, all men ought to marry whllo young. You see, when we grow old our tastes and. habits become fixed, and they are hard to change to suit another. I ..believe, like- Franklin, that matrimony ought to be en couraged; bat at the present day young man who bos npt inherited, a fortune, ans one who must rely upon his own efforts for every cent that he gets, will find difficulties, in the way.” • The'*'infcerviewer '* picked up his-hat, and hastily retreated from tho presence of Ur.

Two more arrests havo been made at Richmond, Vn., in connection with the re cent tobacco frauds one of them being Charles Jackson, a tobacco manufacturer of Petersburg. Baunasch’s Jaotory was seized yesterday. An armed mob is endeavoring to prevent the collection of taxes in Jackson and Washington counties, Florida. The State tix collector and his wife have been mur dered in Washington county, and seven murders aro reported in Jackson county. General; Daniel Morgan Brodfonj, who died in Huntsville, Ala., a few days aco, at the advanced age of ninety-seven years served in the war of 1812, and was acaptaii in tho evermetnorable Bth of January, lSlc at New Orleans. A single English colony has lately bough" 30,000 acres of land in Kansas. The tract is to be divided among no fewer than 1,200 families, consisting of well-to-do farmers and artisans. German and Swedish colon ists have also purchased largely. “My boy,” said a clergyman to a boy who was fishing off a pier, “don’t you know that it is wicked to catch fish on Sun day ?” “ Guess I hnin’t sinned much yet,” said the bov. withouttakins his nyo from the cork ; haln’t had a nibble.” Tho poor devil whom Mrs. Elizabeth Ca dy Stantou married, and now leaves at home to take care of tho children, while sbe makes u cheap monkey-show of herself in the “lecture field,” is described as “a quiet, thoughtful Jittio man, with plenty of bushy, dark hair, and an inoffensive manner.” The River Improvement Convention at Portage City, Wis., adopted a resolution declaring that a nuvigabio connection be tween the Mississippi and the great lakes is a necessity, that such a route can be made through the Fox and Wisconsin riv-, era, that the cost will not greatly exceed' four millions of dollars, and that the Gov ernment should carry out the improve ment. A lively demand for tracts at a Western settlement recently encouraged tho hopes of the Tract Society that an immense work of revival must be going on there. The cry was constantly for “ tracts, more tracts.” At last it leaked out that the settlers were using these promoters of faith, not for moral comfort, bat to paper their log cab ins with. The Tract Society, since the dis covery, is a wiser, but a sadder institution. It is estimated that the gorge, six miles long, below Niagara Falls was made in 31,009 years, at the shortest. That time is embraced in only one period of age, the I’osttertiary period, or Mammalian age. Preceeding this ago were the Reptilian, Carboniferous, Devonian and Salurian ages. As most of these ages were much longer than tbe Mammalian, an approxi raateidea of tbo time of the world’s forma tion may be had. Few are probably aware of the fate of Lord Byron’s heart. After bis death at Miasolonghi in 1822, his body was embalm ed and sent to England, but the heart was begged and obtained by the Greeks, who enclosed it in a silver case. Four years later, after the protracted seige of Misso longhi, a sallying party, carrying the relic with them, cut a way with a great sacrifice of life through the Turkish lines ; but tho heart was lost in crossing the marshes. An Eastern youth traveling in au unciv ilized regions between here aad California provided himself with a small pistol, so as not to be out of fashion. While he was ap parently examining it, but really “showing off,” a brawny miner, whose belt was weighted with two heavy six-shooters, asked him what he had there. “Why,” replied tbe young man from the East, “that is a pistol.” "Wal,” said the rough, “if you shoot me with that, and I should find it out. I’d lick you like fun.” The; Agricultural Burean estimates that the cotton crop of the Southern States this year will be worth $240,000,000, while the total value of the exports of the South is set down at Tbe South is actually richer than before the war. There is notso much concentration of wealth among the few', but there is a general prosperity which is most gratifying, aud which has made it self felt in the fail trade of the Northern market? very perceptibly. The West is purchasing no more than usual, and is be ginning to manufacture incompetitionwitb us, so that the regenerated South is once more our best customer. One of those curious cases of proseuti-, mont of which we so ofen hear lias just occurred in Atlanta, Georgia. A workman in tho railroad shops there persistently said he had had a revelation that lie should die at twelve o’clock on Tuesday last and at bis request a fellow-workman promised to toll the bell of the works at that hour. The day and the hour came. The man dressed himself in his best, and lay down upon his bed to await the speedy coming of the dread messenger. The solemn note of tho bell was sounded, but tho man—did not die. The iron ramrod did not supersede the wooden one until 1742, when it was intro duced into tho Prussian army by Prince Leopold, of Anhalt Dresseau. The bay onet was preceded by various contrivances, such as an axe attached to the barrel, then u dagger, etc., stuck into the latter. But, us this was an impediment to firing, a ring was added, about 1691, to the bayonet, whereby thfe blade,-instead of covering tbe muzzle came to be flush with its rim. This however, was still inconvenient for loading so that at length the bayonet was provided with a neck, as it now is. This was about 1705. Somebody in England proposes a well merited compliment to the lato Mr. Adam, original proprietor of the Garden of Eden— that is, to build a monument to his memo ry in Mesopotamia, where it. is understood bo formerly resided.

The grand Jury of Kane county, 111., have found an indictment against Rev. Twnafi B. Smith; of Turner Junction, for the alleged murder of his wife by drowning last June. It .appears that in the early part of Jane, Smith, with wife, drove in a buggy to . Elgin, and in the evening returned to the bouse of Mr. Benton, a brother-in-law, about two miles from Elgin in considerable excitement, and asked if his wife was there, sayiog tnat his buggy'" had been overturned in crossing a small stream about a quarter of a mile from Mr. Benton’s, and he and his wife thrown out, and as he had not been able to find his wife, after getting out, he thought she) might have gone to the house and left him. He accounted tor the overturning of his buggy by saying that the horse having stopped in the stream to drink, lie stepped over upon one of the* thills to uncheck the reiD, when his wife called to him to hurry, that she felt faint, when the horse started, and turn ing sharply, threw them both out, dragged him under the water and across the stream twice, the wheel passing over him, and the horse stamping him under foot. When he got up he looked around for his wife, and seeing the buggy robe floating in the stream, supposed it to be his wife, and caught it, and then wen ton to Mr. Benton’s to look for help. He subsequently gave a different version of the affair, and the horse beiog found standing still in the water, with the buggy resting on one side, just where the alleged accldont took place, and ti e body of the woman only ten or twelve feet from the buggy, led to investigation. It also appeared, after Mrs. Smith was buried, that there was insurance to the amount of three thousand dolliars on her life, and au accident insurance of six thou sand dollars, which facts Mr. Smith had kept concealed, because, he said, they would make talk. It was also discovered that the stream was but seventeen inches deep, where Mrs. Smith is said to have faU-.u from the baggy. Other circumstanr> cast suspicion upon the affair, and Mr. Smith has been indicted as above stated. Public opinion in Turner and vicinity is divided as to bis guilt or innocence, but Mri. Ben ton and other friends believe him innocent. A Wki»H.ey League Formed to Lobby Congress. Washington, Oct, 20. The Revenue Department has advices which show that a combination has been formed by/all the prominent distillers in the country for the purpose of affecting Congressional legisla tion during the coming winter in regard to the collection of the Whiskey Tax. This organization is to be known as the “ Whis • erTul. ~One of the schemes which thTs League will attempt to get through Con gress is the raising of the tax on whiskey to one dollar per gallon, and doing away with the storekeepers’, the capacity tax.the per diem tax and the license; letting the one dollar tax pay for tho whole. The dis tillery is to be taxed up to its measured ca pacity, and the gauger is to measure once a month, to see if the distillery works up to its capacity. This arrangement appears plausible enough at first glance, but as the present multiplicity of taxes oul«amount to about seventy cents per gallon, »ie won ders why the distillers prefer to p«£the ad ditional thirty cents on a gallon. Thore are numerous other plans for changes to be ad vocated by this league, but its wholo ob ject seems to be’ merely to get the law changed, it makes no difference how, for during tbo transition from one law to the other there will bo splendid chances for fraud. Ike Petrified Body of a Giant. The Syracuse Courieraajß: OnSaturday morning last two men, by the name of Gideon Emmons, and Henry Nichols, were engaged in digging a well on the farm of Mr. Newel, about a mile and a half from Cardiff, when they suddenly came upon what appeared to be a man’s foot of colos sal dimensions; at first they were Bome what startled, as a matter of coarse ; and proceeding to dig around it they discovered the legs and body of what they supposed to be a petrified man of monster size. The body lay about two and a half feet below the surface of tho earth, on its back, with its right arm and baud crossed upon its breast. Its legs were crossed, one lying upon and across the other. The news of the discovery of the supposed human being spread like wildfire .through the valley and all day Saturday and Sunday hun dreds of people visited the locality. Dr. J. F. Boynton, of thiß city, a geologist celebrity, paid a visit to the locality, yes terday, afternoon, and made a most thor ough examination, and pronounces it to be a statue of a Caucasian. The features are finely cut and are in perfect har-r mony. The stone Is the gypsum of Onon daga county, 'lt ip the” doctor’s Opin ion that the statue was carved by the Jesu its or the early inhabitants of the country, and was placed in the slough in whieh it was foufia for the purpose of concealing it. The dimensions and proportions of the statue are colossal and majestic. Its length is ten feet three inches, we incline to the opinion that the discovery is the petrified remains of a humanbefng* .z-jb. statue would hardly have its legs urbssed, nor would its arms be placed in the position described above. The features are as perfect and the form is ns complete as that of a living per son, and it has overy appearance of having once been a human being. A Fearful Accident—A Baby stabbed to tne Heart.

A time' since In looking over one of the dally papers of Laccastor I saw a card inregaxd totheoperatlonsof oertalnSew ing Machine Agents, over the name of an ac quaintance, Mr. John 1L Behrer, of Sporting Hill, describing thomannerin wnlcn thoy pre vail upon persons who arc unacquainted, with' them, to commit themselves into thepurchaso of a Sewing Machine, under the Impression that if It does not give entire salts taction it will be exchanged for another of abetter kind. Not long since Iwas also called npon by an Agent ofthe Wheeler * Wilson Bewing Machine who from 10o’clock A. M. to 7 B. M-, kept up aAcon stanttralnofargnmentln favor of themachlno he represented, until he ‘Anally persuaded mo to take one, for which he took my note, prom ising at the same time that if I did not : like it after a fair trial, to replace It with a Howe Ma chine. After trying it for tour weeks, I came to the conclusion that the maohiue would never suit me for my purpose, and having heard of the reputation ;of the Howe Sewing Maohihe from some.of my neighbors who have them in nse for several years, I concluded to coll on Mr. Fato, the Agent of the Howe Sow ing Machine, and If possible trade it off on a Howe,; In whioli I was successful, and I must say that I could .do hotter work and operate better on the Howe.lu three days after I had it, than I oonld in all the four weeks In whloh I had the Wheeler A Wilson, I havo since been taken to task by the Agent of the Wheeler & Wilson for Ihe course I pursued, and can only justify myself in saying that I knew of no other, from the fact that they refused to take back or replace a‘ machine for my neighbor Christian Mlllpr who had ono cn tlio samo terms, and who was also compelled to trade It off on theHowoSewlngMachlne.
