' These men Knapp and Beck, are employed upon a well on the Storey I arm, and while sleeping in their apartments near tbo engine bouse Tburbor entered tbe building and took the money from tbetr person.

Tho prisoner was brought before In quire Dontgliy to-day, and upon examina tion was hell to bail in the sum of $600.

It contains a list of all tbe fust Offices In tbe United Mutes, gives the time of day all over the world when it is 12 M. at Washington, in a simple nnd corapreheislve manner, and much other valuable information.

Tom Allen, the champion pugilist of the United States, was to have msde bis appear, ance in this city yesterday, fcavlng reached i,Vljicj(es on bis way here from St. Louis. He-did not come here, however, lie return ed to St. Louis instead, in response to a tel egram. It is probable that by the time this reaches our ronders Mr. Allen will have sur rendered the belt, beaten in one round by a young woman, his early love, who ran away from borne to share his honors. When Al len came to this country two years since, she attempted to come out with him, but was prevented bf her parents. Not long since, however, her family came over and settled In Now York State. Tbe young lady immediately commenced a correspondence with A"en, which was kept up until bis re cent with McCoole. Thnt fight settled th business, not otily with Mike, but with (be English girl. She could no longer re. sist tbe pleadiogs of her old lover, now sud denly become famous the country over. So sbe left her parents and borne between two days met Tom at Viocennos, and proceeded with him to St. Louis, in search ol a church and a minister of the gospel. Cincinnati Commercial.

"Andy Blnke"nii 'Bob Nettles' composed tbe programme, both of which pieces were received with ap plause. Mr. J.

On the 6th of July tbe troupe will return to the Centre, to give a matinee in tb l'ter noon, aftd also an evening entertainment. The matinee will afford an opportunity for tbe ladies and children to see Little Nellie and ber troupe, not always at hand. Tbey commence an engagement at Tilusville to sight.

Viewers have been appointed by tbe Court to assess damages for tbe right of way." Sheriff Herpst informs us that there are now but thirteen phrsons confined in tbo county jail. This we are sure is not the fault of tbe prosecuting officers who have been a terror to evil doers aud have made the way of the transgressor very bard in Venango. The certainty of punisbm ent by our courts is bearing good fruit. The Petroleum Gaslight is tbe title of a neat little paper just staried in Pleasant ville. The proprietor, O. H.
