U i.i always a pleasure fur "J to chronicle the tuctesj i.f 0-?Vtriig rr. Letter from IMoiioer. PioxEEit, Pa.. April 21. I write to-day under date of Pioneer, and as I have spent tho day in looking about some, I think I can write a little something about your neighboring town that may not be uninteresting. Pioneer is not so near a defunct town as perhaps someof the Cen tre people have been led to believe from your observations when passing through en the cars. TheTro has been some thinning out or bouses I admit: many were taken down last fall and moved to a worse place Pleasant villc and the owners of tbem would now think themselves well off if they were back hero again ; but I know of no places of busi ness that have been closed out of late for reasou of decline in patronage except per haps a saloon or billiard rpotn which every town can well do without. For tbe last two years the prophecy bas been repeatedly made, and by ntany Inter ested in the prosperity of the place, that ''tho next six months' will see this town deader than a smelt." Notwithstanding, I am informed by groceryiucn that their trade is not in tho least declining, and tbe reak- tive amount consumed by any district is a pretty good expouant of tbe number of pop ulation. Such predictions used to be very commonly made concerning tbe Centre, but the wise ones have becomo about tired waiting for their propbicies to como to pass, and in their disappointment bare gone lo putting the third story on their buiidings, and otherwise giving a more permanent ap pearance to their town. It is a fact that any of these oil towns, situated upon the railroad that bas become a point of tran sit bas n permanancy long after the adjacent oil territory has been abandoned. There is a great deal of territory in tbe vicinity of this town that was once most ex. cellont territory, and is now mostly aban donedor as much so as oil territory ever Is. I have never yet seen any old territory on which there was not something being done. I never yet saw territory, however old or however much "drowned out, ' but that would produce a little oil; and from this fact I argue that operators will eventu ally go ever enough territory so that eld lingering wolls will give an .aggregate pro duction equal to our total production of to day. TaoFunkvIlle Flats, Benuingbo? Hill, Western and Pioneer Runs, Foster Farm, Bull Run, Sherman Well Flats and Cow. Run has eath in its day produced large quantities, and now when the glory of each bas flown, there la out! a reinaaui ion,' (but produces oil in paying quantities, and tbose remnants principally rely on Pioneer tor supplies. Nobody need appoint tbe funeral of Pion eer very soon, for if tbey do, I assure them they will be disappointed In having tbe corpse. In my next I shall endeavor to speak more of local affairs of thiB town. Unknown. You can buy liquors cheaper when the water pipe is laid up town.

These occurrences are rare, of course, in any com munity, but tho good citizens or Pitbole, who have not been disturbed for a long time, took the discovery to heart, and great wis tbe tumult! Surmises and suspicions rest ed on sundry women throughout tho Bor ough, and in fact tbe crime was fixed upon innocent parties, who, much to their satis faction were relieved from suspicion by the discovery or the real perpetrator or the deed, and tho mother of the child. Tbe facts of the discovery of tbe body, as far as we can leurn, are these: Samuel Smith was angling for tront in Holmden Creek, and discovered the body a little dis tance from bim. After obtaining assistance the remains were taken out ot the water: and an investigation was held by Constable Ami in. It was decided that the child was an abortion, nud Miss (Annie, who bas been living with Mrs. Hicks was arrested as the guilty person. What tbe developments are we have not yet learned, but further 'examination will uo doubt, throw some light on tbe subject. A Deah Beat: We heartily endorse the following from tbe Titusville Herald or this morning: Mr. K. Eddy left town last night, accompanied with the best wishes of our citizens at large.- Mr: Eddy came here heralded with big Now York reputation, and wo aro sorry that ho has had lo shoul der tho sins of John G. Maflo, theei dtvaat proprietor of tho theatre Meanwhile Mr. Eddy has, liquidated the debla-of tho "so culled'' theatre, having to draw on New York for the same. The next timo that be appeals here we trust that it will be upon his own responsibility." Sunday Comfort at Giflney's.' NEIV9 ITEMS. A. D.
