The rnmored aale of 6,000 barrels of oIlK

be true It every reaped. Stambaugb U an.

profe-ied to be leyal to tbe backbone, only,
salt seems, for tbe purpose of betraying tbe
oil men, a Beoedict Arnold did bia coun
try, Into tbe baoda of the enemy. Tbe
went feature ot this affair appears to be
that alter purchasing tbe oil on Cberrytree
Ron, at tbe regular market price, be imme
diately telegraphed to Roekeleller at Cleve
land, asking what be would pay for 6,000
barrels of oil. RoeKeieller telegrapbej

was made, And the "price ef blood" went
te enrich traitor number two. Truly a
precious trio of saiuts at Rockefeller, Fish

we are pained to learn of tbe death ol
the wife of our friend, Mr. J. P. Barcroft,
of Columbia Farm, which took place at bis
residence on that farm, oa Sunday last.
In every respect lira B. was a high-toned
true Christian woman, besides being pos.

Pleasant ArrAin.-At tbe meeting of
tbe Presbyterian Mite Society, at tbe Cen
tral House, last evening, very pleasant af
fair occurred, which will long be remem
bered by tbe participants. A large num
ber of tbe pastor's friends, both members
of tbe society and others, met in tbe spaci
ous dining ball of the bouse, and after be
ing seated. Mr. xi. it. rayne called upon
Mr. J. M. Dickey for speech. Mr. Dickey
rose and la a brief and pertinent speech,
during which he recounted tbe pleasant
associations and memories which bad ever
existed between the pastor and eongrega
lion, expressing It as the earnest wish of all
that tbey might continue, and In conclu
sion, on behalf ef himself aod the assem
bled friends, WATCH-ed tbe reverend gentle.
man by tbe presentation of ao elegant time
piece. The surprise was complete In every
respect, but tbe Rev. retorted in a very
happy manner, thanking tbe kind friends
on behalf of himself and family, for their
remembrance, and hoped tbe same Christ
Ian leeliog might exist In tbe future as it
had ever been bis endeavor to cultivate In
tbe past. After a short period of pleasant
social Intercourse tbe society broke up, each
one feeling that an exceedingly pleasant
evening bad been passed.
Tbe watch was purchased at tbe jewelry
store of J. Wolf; is of the Howard pattern
and valued at $275.
Our friend and townsman, J. W. Gordon,
completed aod tubed a new well near Fox
burg, on Saturday last. We are informed
by Mr. Gordon that this well promises to
produce one hundred barrels per day. In
tbe present stato of affairs in tbe oil coun
try, we hardly know whether to congratu
late friend Gordon or not. We hope, how
ever, for bis sake, that It may prove a good
investment.
There wig warm times at Rynd Farm, on
tbe arrival of the afternoon train going
north, when tbe news ef the apoatacy of
Stambaugb became known. The oil was
being loaded at the time preparatory to
being shipped. A rjsb was made for tb
tank bouse aod many threats were made.
In the meantime the Executive Committee
of tbe Ninth District waited upon Mr. S.
and be agreeing not to ship the oil until
the aotlen of tbe meeting at Oil City, to
day, was mads known, the crowd speedily
dispersed.

About History llrpcttllng Itself
The excuses of Mr. Fisher are absurdly
insufficient to justify bis extraordinary and
culpable actions; and without meaning to
assert that such Is the fact In the present
instance, we call attention to tbe record ol
Fisber Brothers more particularly ef Mr.
John J. Fisber on the matter of combina
tions to effect the market. With tbe single
exception of several years of Mr. Branson's
"Bulling'1 the Upper Creek last December,
Fisher bas Invariably been either tbe paid
attorney, er an active party of tbe "Bear"
interest
Applying' this to tbe preaent Instanoe,
and It becomes manifest that Mr. Fisber,
knowing just tbe effect that a report of such
a sale being made would have on tbe mark
et, may have made it for another purpose
than to depress tbe market to auoh a figure
as would let blm cover at a trtmcndoua pro -It
