We are Informed that a well is down t tbat point which started up day before yesterday, and is only yielding about a bar rel and a half per day. It was torpedoed yesterday, but as yet we have not learned ""u. no won is located on a twen ty-five acre lease, and Is owned by Fisher Awrrii Co., and Cbaa. Cojce, of tbia place. We hope it will prove a paying in- vesiineu for these gentlemeu. A few days since tbe workmen atone o luednlliug wells on the Columbia Farm, accidentally broko off about six inches of a steel centre bit, and dropped it Into tbe well, which was over 300 reel deep. The iiahiug tools were used for a day or two but failed to get It out, and finally it was con cluded to drill It to pieces. Drilling was kept up for two or tbreo days without much effect oo tbe bard steel. Tbe tools were then taken out, and a hollow rimmer, tbe end ot which was filled with bard soap, was lowered for tbe purpose of ascertaining tbe exact position in which tbu stool laid iu tbo. bole. Upon drawing the liuimer out it was lound that the pieoe of steel bad be come attached to. the soap aud bad been drawn, out with, the rimmer. Tbe pieoe of stet-t weighed, about ten pounds.

Pi.umkb, Oct. C, 1870. Mr Editor. I am again compelled to impose on your apace for the liiirnoso of explaining a few facta regarding want you term tbe "Road Commissioners Muddle:" I endeavored tome time ago tb rough your columns to have tbe citizens look to tbe large amonnt of money paid for repairing tbe roads, and requested them to demand a -settlement from tbeir auditors, and, as a citizen I asked for it myself. I have seen nothing in reply except a lot of twaddle about old Sage and a bond for Ave hundred dollars. It Is Indeed poor satisfaction to onr citi zona to know tbat your auditors only ao count for $500 when tbo taxes paid have amounted to about $20,0001 Herewith I give tbe agreement between tbe Commissioners, which . will explain tbe public where tbe districts of the different supervisors are and, in part what roads tbey must repair. AGREEMENT. This agreement entered into this 13th day or July, 1870, Between the Road Com missioners of tbe township of Cornolaoter, Venango county, Pa., whereby it is agreed tbat John Wallace shall take charge of unmet iso. l in saia Township, as agreed upon oy saia iommisstoners, to wit All tbat part or earn lowoshlp lying on the west side of Oil Creek from tbe month at Oil City, np to what Is known as tbe Story farm, including the Tarr farm, tbe Rvnd farm, and tbe Steel f arm, on both sides of saia cree.. Ana District fio. 2 to be in charge of James Sage to include all tbut portion of said Townsbip lying between tbe said described first District and the Franklin Pike; and James Rooker to bare charge of all tbat part lying East of said Pike; and, each one o( said Commissioners agree to be personally responsible for their several acts. ( Jonx Wallace, (l. s.) Signed. 1 Jambs Saob, ,l. s. ) ( James Rooker, (l. 8 ) I make no challenge on my brother Road Commissioners regarding what work they or I have done, for of this, tbe people will judge, but I rather beg to apologize to tbe citizens tbat I have not done more, and only endeavor to explain to them that bad it not been for a malicious notice, which appeared some time ago, which prevented many citizens from paying the neccessary taxes I would have done more. Yet with the limited means at band 1 am prepared to show tbat I have at least done some woik. Tbe following from tbe citizens of my dis trict I think will be sufficient evidence: We, the undersigned, hereby certifyllhat James Sage tbe present Road Commissioner has mado a good and efficient officer and tbat ho has kept tbo roads of Cornplantcr in a letter condition for the last year than nny ol bis predecessors: Signed.

James A Barnes CO Ilelzel SC Caldwell J Holloway T C Kennedy I would further say tbat as road Comniii- slonnr I am notified of judgements and large amounts duo, which bills were con tracted by my predecessors in all, amount ing to between $900 and $1,000. All this the people must pay and ride over bad roads in the bargain, and unless tbey rid IhemselvvB of blood suckors tbey may cuu linue paying and riding so. I would sug gest that a statement bo mado through your paper uliowiug what has been dono with the money and bow much has been expend ed in tbe different districts. Such a report made quarterly would Boon nliow what the probablo bond of a Commissioner should be, and bow much more old Sage would have to pay tbau any one elso.' James Sauk. On Tuesday afternoon much excitement wus caused at the Western Penitentiary by tbe escape of two prisoners, James Dunn, of Westmoreland county, who bad been com mitted for tbreo years, and bad yet a your to Horvo, and Thomas Quint), of Vonango couuty, who bad been committed for two years, and had only about six months to -ervo.

It's all well enough to talk about tho last nineteen centuries, but tbe nineteenth century is the century after all. Although immeasurably superior in everything, it is particularly so In tbe elegance of its language. To illustrate what is meant, we saw two younir men meet in Water street, and heard them converso. Tbe way it was done, and the conversation was as follows. For convenience sake wo will call tbeir names Thomas Green and James Blue: .. J. Blue Hello, Tommie, how's your dog? T.
