Keenen, Ez-Burgeei or Plthole City, and now a justice of the, peace in that town. In a eon venation with blm we learn that he wis intemted in the flrat well pnt down en the Central Farm, which wai named the Wild Cat Well, from the faot that the company were engaged la a wild catling peculation. Hence the origin the name, Wild Cat Hol low. The company consisted of Messrs. Painter, Wanamaker, Kilgore, Keenan and one or two others. The well was commenc ed In the fall ef 1W1 and was eempleted In the spring or the following year,, and yield ed 25 to 30 barrel! per day for over a year afterwards, when the oomDanv sold It out to a Philadelphia company, who afterwards iP' disposed of it to the present owners. The bole was a 4-Inch oae and was drilled to the depth or 620 feet, by the use of Iron tools ot a primitive lasbion, and a dllapide ted steam engine. What was a little slngu., lar about the Wild Gat well, was that while it would not flow through four inch tubing, should an Inoh or Inch and three fourths gas pipe be run down through the tubing it would Immediately throw out a stream or oil the lull sire ef the pipe, and continue flowing until the pipe was drawn out. At that early period in the history of Petro leum Centre, Mr. Keenan- inform ua the only building In ezisteoce here was the old MeClintock homestead, and with the excep tion or a few acres of cleared land around the house, the balance or the country was little less than a wilderness, wild deer, bear and wolf being frequently seen In the vlclu Jty of the well, The Wild Cat well, be. claims,, was the first one drilled en Oil Creek, where Petroleum Centre now It Toe same gentlemen were also sinking A Jealoan OlrPe Mistake.

Co., to the effect that oil wilt not be re ceived by them in wooden ears for shipment over the Lake Shore road. This is In ac cordance with the order of the Lake Shore road that they will not ship oil to wooden cars. It" will work fsoeclal hardshins to Mr. Joseph Lombard, who has heretofore hipped largely over that road,, as the ma jority of hia ears are wooden tanks. It will be remembered that be gave very damaging testimony against tbeS.1. Co,, and II Is supposed that this order le hie reward from tbat company which, we have so often beard, was dead. It is on the same piece with the order to charge extra for oil ship ped in Iron tanksof over eighty barrels ca pacity. ' Here Is another strong argument lor tbe new railroad. Wo must have a road tbat oin not be controlled by any company or monopoly. We mutt have a competition io freights. The Buffalo road will, we, are uro, be both. Hurry up tbe construction of tbat road and let us see if a man can not then do an honest business without paying tribute to some competition. IT idioute Commercial. . i Letters from the People Notb.
