A correspondent of the Allegheny Daily
Republic, writing to that psptr from this
place, nys;
The village, though one or ibe oldest in
ui Worn, appears of niushruon crowth. The
biiildins are all shanties, erected on the
name plan, without paint or ornament
July two brick buil.lings can be found in
tbe plare, the ret l-eiuij made of the cbeap
est lumber, aad many .ut" them roofed
with slabs. This is uue to the fact the
latin on which the village is built remain
undivided i lne possession ol lis oriniual
purchasers the Central Petioleuiu Coru-Jpy,--oud
every structure in the liaial.-l
l Million leased premises.
From i lint former Superintendent of the
7 wen Kouwtt to the slock-
JiolUeM of the railroad from Wbeeliag to
Washington, I learned many valuable lacis
iu repaid to the territory Mug In and
around the Centro; Ihefot-tuiir-g made and
lost therein; the lucky aud unlucky suecu
Jaluia, and many anmeiuit auecdotea of tbo
various bubbles that came to the surfacj
during lb ejcitemeo t of 'C3 and 'flj.
I selected the Rochester House us mv
amnion lor the reasou that there tbo "oil
princea" are to be found the regular old
babitues and moreon (ecause the pioprle
'"is, Ilrad-itrtet & ShM tfood are recognized
"j traveling puulio as caterers of lirst
ni luelil. ,
Tbo our.spondant also civet aiiite
pleasing und highly colored account of bit
.udveulure,'io a '-free and easy," and from
the description given one would think that
be bad been there before; or else lie must
hava taxed bis veratlle imagination to i
fesnt' : e-tleiit to get up to pleasing an ac
count. .U ur classing this place with,
"Water street, New York; Cheyenne, in
the far west; San Fraccisca before 1849, and
the Mlssissppi in its haloyon duys for gum
lileis, eoulil all Und their counterparts
liere," all of wbicb places be seems to bave
thorough knowledgo of, this gay and festive
youth jokingly remarks, (be was iu the
fieea.id easy when be wrote):
i noticed among those present some men
whose reputations, 'ike uiy wwn, were else
where above reproach, ami upon comment
ing upon it to my companions, was inlorra-
eii that everybody went out here."
The perpetration of snob a jike of course
places liis '"reputation above reproach, '
and having thoroughly examined the
"boles" and "doi" iu the place, no doubt
lie will have occasion to remember, them fur
bourn time.
Another visit would cause un attack of
'sofiunin of the brain," especially if the
'gay old boy" whose 'reputation Is above
reproach" should tux it to the extent that be
did in writing up the paper description
publibbed in the Republic.
The opinion appears to prevail tbat the
luck-up put up in Ibis place some mouths,
since, was paid for out ol monys raised by
fciiLscriptlou for that purpose. fcucU how
ever is not tbecaie as but (CO was raised
The balance $104 was paid by Mr. Oeo.
V). WilFOQ entirely out of bis own pocket.
As Ibis is a pubiie ueuefll it is uo moie
than right tbut Mr. W. should be repaid for
Lis uuduY, and we uie glad to learn that a
iuhsciipiion is being raised fur that pur
j.uHe. Let our citizens subbcribo Jiburally
und pay Ibis debt.

The Armstrong well, situated about two
miles nurth of this, owned by Meusis. Jen
nings, Clarke, Morrison, Meldron and others
began bowing oil this morning while the
tools were siiil in it. ly some means it

the Are. It is estimated tb.it this will be at
