THE NF. WT COUNTY PROJR T.
The project fr forming a new ennnty out
of portion" of Crwforn Warren, and Ve
naugo counties, with Titusville as a county
seat, has been revived this winter. Senator
I.owry has introduced to the Senate a bill
for the formation or the new county, and
there is strong prolwbllity that it will
pass that branch of the legislature. We
have filth to believe, however, that the
measure will be killed In the House. Hith
erto we have regarded this project as hardly
"orthy or notice, and have consequently
wn s'lent in regard to it. But it is now
time to spesk out upon the subject, InaV
nch as there is some danger that the
scheme nay be carried through the legisla
ture. In common with everybody else in
this part of Venango county, we are op
posed la this measure, regarding it as en
tirely a matter or speculation. We don't
relieve that outside of Tlttisvilla a hundred
men in the three counties approve of the
scheme, Tbey do not wish to add to their
already heavy burden of tnxatloo merely
for the benefit ot Titusville. The people
along Oil Creek valley am unalterably op
posed to any such project. The people of
enango are well sMisllod with their pres
ent situation. Tbey desire no change, and
will strenuously fitful ngaicst anything ol
the kinds Why wouldn't It do as well te
make Tittissille a county, then it could
be csnnty and county seal all to
itself, and have the privilege of paying
for the fun. But to speak seriously the
people to b affected by this measure, and
who are opposed to its consummation,
should let their Apposition he known and'
felt at Hhrrfsbnrg. These new county
.'homers and speculators should be thwart
ed. There can be unsound argument adduced
in favor ot tbla proposed new county. We
shall bare mora- to say upon Ibis subject
toon.
Tuc production on the Pierson Farm now
averages 276 barrels per day. This ts a
falling off of nearly one half since Novem
ber. There are eleven producing wells on
this farm, and Ore new ones going down
all In the 3d sand. Leaws on! this farm
are eagerly senght after, but tbe owners are
aot at present disposed to sell leases.
This Is the last-night of the theatre in
this place, and the performance promises
to be a grand one. The talented Miss Kate
Fisher will appear in ten different charac
ters, in tbe drama of "The Three Fast
Men." There will no doubt be-a crowded
bona.

Address, J. E. P.ikhs. Miislo Publisher;
T. O. Box 6.429, New York.
A wbm. ws eiiuek yesterday on the
Etat; property, with) the city limits of
Franklin. It is producing forty barrels per
day of lubricating oil. Tbia sells at the
well at f 15 per barrel..
MNCR the rise in tbe oil market, some of
out producers, Captain Jones among others,
are holding their oil at 8 per barrel. We
admire thslr pluck, and believe tbey will
jel gat tbe price they are asking.
A skw well wis struck yesterday on
Wildcat Riiu. It is doing fllteen barrels
psrday. It is owned by. Mr. Harry De.

New York beggars of all descriptions
meet generally with rather nneerlmorrlous
receptions inasmuch s the wbnle city td In
fested with them, especially the business
offices. In on ol these, a lawyer's oflTce, a
woman cam not long ago, and bejjged
sislsnce in paying br rent. The lawyer in
question, contrary to the usual ciislnm. lis
tened to ber story, and on its conclusion
(are her lire dollars. Ts is proceeding on
bis part, as may be surmised, gave rise ie
much merriment among those who wit
nessed It, and who did not hesitate) to rldi
cule tlio credulous genorosily of the lawyer.
The laugh was, however, a few weeks later
on his side, whon the same woman came
into the office, and going up to him. banded
bim a check for (500. A fortune in Eng
land bad been left her, and this sum she
wished to present bim in token of ber grate
ful appreciation of bis kindness to ber when
in distress for her distress had been real.
She had furthermore called unen him to ap
point bim her agent in the management of
the estate of which she bad so unexpectedly
become the fortunate possessor, the perqui
sites whereof, we may imagine, are not a
few.
Ir ts estimated thatthe present sugar crop
of Louisiana, now about made, will amount
to one hundred thousand hogshead. The
season has been unusually favorable so
much so, that at one time sirong hopes were
entertained that the yield would reach one
hundred and twenty-five thousand bogs
heads, but the weather has been recently
less propitious, and the estimates have been
reduced to the first mentioned figures. The
plmting interest of that State is mueh more
hopeful, the crop tins steadily advanced
iroin a little ovnr ten thousand hogsheads
in lSC3-'(i4, te about one hundred thousand
hogsheads the present rolling, with mub
cane reserved for next season's planting. nod
already, wltb a tavoruble year, a crop, of
two hundred and arty thousand hogsheads
for the coming season is talked of as not an
improbable event.

Tnts Virginia City Safeguard, in Nevada,
tells of a lucky teamster, who made a suc
cessful mining experiment. Hearing that a
rich deposit was about to be developed in
ooeoftbe leading mines, and judging that
it he kept dark as lontt as possible, he pro
cured employment in the mine, disguising
bimseiras a miner. A Tew hours' work cou
vincd dim that a big strike was inevitable.
Ue-iovestt-d all the money he had or could
borrow in the stack oP the mine; in a few
days he sold out at an advance or $3,000.
He has now csaie east to pay a visit to the

poaed,from the number of concentrio circles
in the trunk to be 2,565 years old.
