Some days since, it will be remembered,
we published an account of the darlog thief
of a horse from the livery stable of Mr. A.
Smawley. It will also be borne in mind
that Mr. Smawley traoked tbe thief and
bone to tome point In Ohio, where be lost
trace of them, bubsequently Mr. S. engag
er the services of A. J. Evans, of Corry, a
professional detective, who so successfully
worked up the case as to discover tbe berse
st Little Valley, N. Y., at which place tbe
scoundrel had disposed of it lor tbe sum - of
$125. . Tie detective brought tbe borte to
Corry, and yesterday Smawley rode It home

On Tuesday last tbe wife of Mr. Milton
Nicholas, of Lawrsnc township, Clearfield
county, gave ber baby a few drops ot lauda
num, and then placed tbe vial containing
the drug on a chair. A short time after
having given tbe baby tbe laudanum, Mrs.
Nicholas observed that ber little girl, two
years old, bad lain down and gone to sleep.
Tbe child not awaking for some hours, tbe
mother became alarmed and attempted to
arouse it, but failing to do so, she sent for
a pbjslclso, wbo upon examination, pro
nounced tbe child dying from some canse.
Upon investigation it was apparent that tbe
obild had obtained possession of tbe vial
and drank a large portion of the laudanum.
Every effort was made to restore the little
girl, but Id vain, and she died some six or
sight hour after having taken the poison

' This company, which may safe be called
Iba king of tbe oil companies, was chartered
by tbe Pennsylvania Legislature May 1st.
1861, with a eapltal of $200,000, divided
into 10,000 shares of $25 each.
It commenced operations on tbe Story
farm, situated on Oil Creek, about seven
miles from Its mouth. During the year Its
production ol oil was 20,800 barrels; In 1862
It bad Increased to 80,602 barrels. Its first
dividend was declared July (tb, 1863, but
little over two years from tbe date ol It'
Charter, and was lor thirty per cent, on Its
cspltal stock. Tbis wsa followed on the
12th of August by a second for 25 per cent,
another for the same amount September 0th
and still another on the 14th of Ootober for
69 percent. making In all, dividends to
tbe amount of 130 per cent, on tbe capital
stock witbin two and one-ball years of tbe
formation of tbe company. In 1864 ita pro
duction Increased to 141.608 barrels. Dur
ing tbo first six months of tbis year it de
clared four more dividends amounting to
160 per cent, on Us capital stock. At this
time Its oapital was incressed to $2,600,000,
and It once declared a dividend of five per
cent, on tbis Increased capital and
belore tbe close of tbe year five more mak
ing In tbe aggregate twenty-five" ptr cent.
From that date to the close ot tbe year 1871
its production of oil bss been remarkably
uniform tbe minimum amount being 140,
655 barrels In 1867, and tbe maximum 142,
034 barrels iu 1871.
Tbe whole amount of otl produced by tbe
company during tbe ten years of its opera
tions Is 1,716,972 barrels, and the whole
amount of its divideuds $2,252,600, or 401
per cent, on its capital stock; and yet after
ten years of active development but a small
part of ita land has been even touched, and
tbe part wbere developments have been
made is cipatle.of receiving as many more
wells as have been already sunk upon It;
and although tbe fortunate owners of its
stock bave already received a princely re
turn for their Investment, there is no reason
to doubt that these dividends can be main
tained or even incressed almost at pleasure
for years to come. Tbe history of tbis com
psoy, as we bsve endeavored to give It, Is
oue ol figures, not words; but from these fig.
ures some Idea can be formed of tbe vast
wealth still lying bidden in tbe crevice6
ol the rock, only needing tbe band of skill
and the direction or prudent managers to
bring It loto tbe service of man. Touch tbe
point of a pencil ever so lightly upon a map
of the oil region, and a larger , proportion of
the territory wbicb is known to be oil pro
ducing is covered tbao tbe whole property
of this company. Touch a pencil again
upon a map representing tbe laud of this
company, and tbe spot covered by the mark
may represent tbe developed portion of tbe
land, and Irotn this speck of ground ulgbiy
millions of dollars worth of oil has been
Jsold. National Oil Journal.

for this, If true, certaiuly a very remarkable
fact: "In tbe blooming, beautiful, balmy
May of 1863, one of those dreadful battle
stsined years never to be forgotten. General
Tllisbman fell shot dead, at tbe battle of
Champion Hill, gallantly struggling In de
fense of bis cherished principals. His no
ble life ebbed away on tbe spot wbere be
fell, and tbe sad earth drank his blood with
greedy tbirstiness. But upon that immed
iate spot grew a peach tree that bad reach,
ed maturity, while its roots steeped thetn
selves in tbe martyr's blood. Singular to
relate, tba leaves aod fruit of this treo are a
b ood-red color. Tbe tree was transplanted
and Is now In tbe orebsrd of Dr. J. L. He
bron, of this county. The propagations
from this tree are ol tbe same peculiar color
There is something very peculiar about
tbis. We bave seen the leaves, aod must
confess they do look and even (to ns) smell
like blood. Tbe tact can be witnessed by
those taking the trouble."
