Rcrbert on this Storey Farm. A
yeung man named Eugeno Tburbor was ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff Kinney this morn
ing, charged with stealing $25 from Simon
Beck, and $130 from Obed J. Knapp, last
nigbt, on the Story Farm. ' 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. Suspicion resting
upon Thurber a search warrant was issued
against him, and upon searching his person
nearly all the money was found and identi
fied. Tho prisoner was brought before In
quire Dontgliy to-day, and upon examina
tion was hell to bail in the sum of $600.
The case seems o boa clear one, and should

is one of the most valuable works yet pub
lished, containing maps of theTjnited Stales,
laying out each State in conntVts, counties
in towns, etc., and of the whole 0rld. It
contains maps of various oitiesin IbtTjolon,
laying out tbe streets giving numbers, &0.
being a reliable guide. Tbe line of the Pa
cific Railroad Is laid out in detail, noting
every station along tho route, with its name,
and distance, from poll) t to point, together
with tbe distance from Omaha to San Fran
cisco. It is an invaluable acquisition to tbe
business man's dosk, and an important ad
dilion to a family library as a reference. 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. It is now

A Champion' love Tom Allen's
Surrender.
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

Good Templars Picnic.
On Monday tbe 6tb day of July tbe Good
Templars of this county and their temper
ance friends will celebrate the national an
Iversary at tbe Rynd Farm, by a basket
picnic. Rev. A. M. Collins, ol Corry, will
be tbe orator of tbe day, and tbe Rev. P.
Coombo is also expected te be present. A
brass band and also string band will be in

becoming the occasion, is guaranteed to ail
who attend. D. P. Hatch of theTurr Farm,
J. M. Sharp and J. C.Boyce ot Oil City,
and F. W. Hastings ot Franklin, are the
general Committee of arrangements. 1 be
ground is large and admirnbly adapted fur
the purpose. The trains frequent and if
tbe committee only secure good weuibt-r,
the affair will be one to be long remviutienU
by tbe friends of Temperance.
Little Nellie's Rk-afi'bauaxce July
5tu Matinee ix the Akternoon. Ah
appreciative audience assembled last eveu.
Ing at Akin's Hall, tho last night or Nellie's
present engagement.' "Andy Blnke"nii
'Bob Nettles' composed tbe programme,
both of which pieces were received with ap
plause. Mr. J. F.Ward was tbe "Funny
Man " In both plays, and never appeared
belter on the stage, we will venture to say.
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.
Jamestown and Fkanklih Extexsion.
Tho Venango Citizen of ibis , week says:
" The work on tbe Jamestown and Franklin
exteosion has been let. McGuire & Co., of
Akron. Ohio, have the contract for tbo gra
ding and masonry, and Cbas. Lobb, or
Stoceboro, tbat for the tunnel at Oil City,
The work is to be commenced next week,
and finished as far as Reno In ninety days
Tbe remaipder is to be finished in one hun
dred and twenty days. 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. Jackson makes
a receipt for subscription equivalent to a
share in the concern and says:
" When 2,000 shares have been sold the
largest number of subscribers that can bo
got together in Pleasantville will agree on
some manner of disposing of tbe office.'
Subscription price $1.25 per annum.
