Renccixo tun Royalty. Mr. D. W.
Kinney, Superintendent of the Metropoli
tan Oil Co., operating on Cberrytree Bun,
on a recent visit to New York city, suc
ceeded In, getting tbe royslty reduced, a
follow: If lb well produces $200 worth
of oil per day, no matter what tbe price of
ii may 6e, the operator gives one-eighth
royalty of the oil, and en all the produc
ion over that amount, ous-fourtb of tbe oil
goes to tbe land owners. This applies not
only to all new wolls that may be put down
but also to tbe wells now down and preduo
log. Tbe good effect of this reduction ol
the royalty by tbe laod owners Is tending to
stimulate developments to a great extent
in that vicinity, Messrs. Fisher, Bates &
CV, of this plsse, who already have sever
al wells produoing on this tract, being about
to? pot down two more a t once, and other
parties intending to commeoo developing
in a short lim. By this new arrangement
both parties will be Denoted, the owners se
curing more oil from tbe new wells, and tba
operators deriving more Income thereby en
abling.tbem to sink more wells, even at tbe
present low price of oil. Tbe company
have several chsloe leases which tbey are
prepared to let to responsible partite. A
all tbe wells on.tb Metropolitan tract are
producing oil, a rare opportunity is effered
to operator. Tbe plan of reducing the
royalty Is a good one, and now that it has
hsen started by tbe Metropolitan Oil Co.,
we hope to see other oil companies and laud
owners following suit, aa it is a well known
fact that the present extortionate royalty
asked by tbe land owner deters many snial
oporators from further developments of
louses wblcb tbxy now bold, or the develop
ing of new territory, tbey not having tbe
iifCissry means at command. Lot tbe good
work go on. i

Tbe Pulladelpbia North American, allud
ing to tbe Increase of population In Pannsyl
tenia says:
Referring to tbe "wild-cat district"
through which tbe Pbiladolphia and Erie
Railroad paiaes we find tns completion of
that work te bare achieved wonders. Elk
has gaiaed 2,900, while Foreat, which bad
only 698 Inhabitants in 1860,'bs now 4,183
and Cameron, a new county, exhibits a
total of 4,273, the counties from w bleb it
wa taken showing no decrease. Warren
county has increased 4,707, and Clinton
5.490. This was, ten years ago, tbe wildest
and must Inaccessible portion of tbe State,
the settlements few and feeble, and tbe
people poor. It 1 now populous and nour
ishing. Petroleum, coal and railroads bare
wrought tbe change. And now that tbe
regionjs open, to tbe world it will reveal
still more sstonist'ng capacities during tbe
ensuing decade.
Bkwari A watch tinker, calling him
self Tbeo. Dexter, made his appearance in
Tloneata, semetbiug less than three mouths
ago, and up to tbe time of bis departure,
did quite a flourishing business. II merer
be seems to bsve been dissatisfied with tbe
amount of currency ho was hauling in, and
on Wednesday last "folded hi tent like tbe
Arab, and silently stole away." lie took
with bin, to defray incidental expenses, a
goldJ watch and guard, belonging to Dr. I
winner, va'usa aituou, a waicn oi ;nr.
Utcket's, worth, we suppose, about, $50
a heavy silver watch of Nelson Cole's and s
number of otbor time pieces end considera
ble jewelry belonging to bis customers. lie
is under obligations to Mr. Proper, of tbe
Tlenesta House, to tbe tune of $51. He
left bis jewelry boxes here, and carried all
tbe missing goods away in bis pockets, with
tbe exception of Mr. Proper's victuals. This
is tbe second tinker who bas softly glided
away from our vision, nnder like clrciimatan
oes, and yet our heart yearnetb fondly for
same one else to ' take us In. Where is
tbe next lucky tinker? Forest Republl-
We understand tbat two of tbe pickpock
ets' who bsve been traveling over tbe O. C,
& A, R. R. for several days past, were ar
rested by deteotives employed by tbe com
pany, at Titnsvllle, last evening. It is to
be hoped tbat tbe scoundrels will bsvs a
liberal share of justice meted out to them
in the shape of a long term of service for
the benefit of tbe State.
The New York World figures Hoffman's
msjorlty In tbe State, without tbe ofEeiat
count, at 82,063. Tbe Tribune estimates It
at 32,900.
Among tbe good things of life there Is
nothing tbat excels a well cooked game din
ner, and the place to gel It is at tbe Petro
leum Exchange Hotel, where tbey have just
reeeivsdja fresh Invoice of game, such as
phsssant, quail, rabbit, venison, &c Drop

Say, you Pet. Centre man, no talking
back. You inveigle outside people into
scrapes and then tantalize them about it.
Lorry uepuoiican.
We do not believe in "inveigling" people
but tbe green ones of Corry can easily be
led into scrapes, and when tbey get in
ain't sharp enough to get out without being
bit. It gives us Pain to record it, but 'tis
true. Don't mention It, Republican.
