Tie well located on the side hill, Cen
tral Pelruleum Co.'s Farm, in tbe immedi

jumping since Sunday with a daily yield or

the well is so small as tbe Fox well, which
Is but o abort distance from it, is producing
40 barrels per day. Tbe new well is owned
by Mr. Sit. Robinson.
Tub Ruiki. Trial. Nothing new of in
terest was elicited from the witnesses exam
ined on Wednesday. Dr. E. J. Frazicr's
testimony related principally to tho post
mortem examination held on the body of
Tate. The testimony of M. C. Frazier,
Jchn Zonizr, Alexander Frazier, Nathan
Put I on, M. C. Zobnizer and Samuel Bow
er?, on the part of the Commonwealth, re
lated principally as to the manner in wbicb
the shooting was done. The evidence ol
these witnesses is very contradictory, some
of tbem agreeing that nana of the parties
bad been drinking, Bnd tbe rest that they
had all drank more or less on the night in
question. Tho testimony on behalf of tho
Commonwealth was concluded yesterday,
and that on '.chair of the prisoner last eve
ning. Tbe Bumming up ol tho if by tho
counsel on botb sides was to bavo been
done to-day, and the verdict of tho jury
will probably bo given this evening.
Latur. Tim cusn was summed up this
uioiuinn by W. J:. Galbrattb, Esq., on tbe
part of the Commonwealth, and O. E. Tay
lor, Esq., fur tbe prisoner. Tbe closing
ploas were to bo made this evening by A. B
McCalmont for Ibe Commonwealth, and A

I.ETTKH FBOM PIIOF. DEDBETR.
Dkar Record: After a somewhat pro
tracted absence I bavo returned to your vil
lage for a few days Intending to ply my va
cation as busily a possible I regret, how
ever, to find the business very much over
done here. At this present writing it is
hardly possible for others than those who
are related to na lo reside any length of
time in this little community. The conse
quence of this is that my operations are
rather circumscribed, and have to be con.
ducted with unusual caution. The worthy
proprietor of tho Central IIoHse, who, knew
roe years ago denied with the utmost suav
ity of manner my off.ir to board with him
for the few weeks that I propose to remain
here. Tho Rochester House was also "full"
and the McClintock House in tho same
vexatious fix. I am not easily discouraged,
bb you well know, and having made up my
mind to camp here, I was determined upon
having comfortalilo quarters, as it would
not at all agree with my rheumatics to be
exposed to the chilling blasts of November.
I very opportunely fell in with Geo. Ar
nold, who dflu't know mo as well ' as some
other. In consideration of my gentlemanly
manners, ho furnishes me with on e.xcolleut
room over the Billiard parlors, and I regale
bim with stories of my adventures, during
these long evenings. George has a roman-
lio tun of mind. He will listen attentively
to tbe longest tales and biggest lies that I
can tell. Clint don't exactly like to have
mo around tho establishment, and keejis a
sharp eye u tlio money drawer and the
clear boxes. But be is such an eccentric
cuss that I pay no attention to his little
Idiosyncrasies, and go right along about my
burned) ns though bo wasn't around. Tbe
reason be has alittle antipathy to me Is very
trifling. I borrowed ten dollnrs ol bim
some livo years ngo, and, singular as itmny
seem, be bas,not yet forgotten the circum
stances, llow sordid and miserly some
people aro.
Now that I bad good sleeping quarters
tho next thing was to look up a commissary.
I went lor Ed Sutherland, and can now be
found regularly three-times a day nt his
saloon indulging In ' Quail on Toast," tbe
choicest game and other luxuries of the sea.
ton. Edward complains slightly, and says
that ho cannot live through the winter if
tbe class of boarders to which I belong
come in on bim regularly. But this I can't
help, of course. I must live, you know
and it is perfectly immaterial to me who
furnishes tbe means. Altogether I think I
have reason to congratulate- myself on tbe
manner I am fixed for the winter for hero I
am bound to stick for several months at any
rate.
The numerous mombers of our family to
fonnd in all tho. bar-room', saloon, and
groceries of this enterprisinz little bo
hamlet, renders my situation -rather dis-
reeable, but I can got along if any on
can. K would be more lo our interest 11
we should scatter round the country and
not colonize so thickly in one place As
tbe business of the town now stands, I do
not think that Petroleum Centre, allords a
profitable field for more than eight or ten o'
tbe Dedbete family, whereas there are more
than three score bore, and they not of tbe
genteel and respectable portion. But
this is just the point I am. ahead of them
on. My gentility and nspectabiilry will
carry wo a groat way, and down right cheek
will do the rest.
I am soon going into tbe oil business as
it offers speciul inducements to men ot my
character and ability. You shall hear from
me frequently. My cousin Timothy is in
Oil City, doing well.
Yours Feelingly, t
A. Dkdiikte.

Collector Grinned has received addition
al information regarding the perpetration
of most stupendous frauds against the Gov

Over two hundred respeetatilo merchants,
