' Goto at 1 p. m. 113 In Petroleum Centre, as In every other town, there are some exceedingly small and narrow minded people people whom we verily believe, If their souls were placed in one side of a pair of scales would be weigh ed down by a grain of mustard placed io the opposite side; who would skin a flea for the bide and tallow, or take the pennies off a dead relative's eyes and endeavor to pass them lor quarters. An instaooe as illustra tive of these little contracted people is too good to keep. A few days since' a certain individual, living and doing business not a thousand miles away, sect word to us by the carrier bby, that unlets we stopped publishing tliem lies, ho should stop taking ilie Rscord, etc After a week's close stu dy and an examination ol every mathemat ical work to be got hold of besides poring over our account books for hours, wa find that the Rccord has been published In this town nearly four years, and in that time said individual has purchased five (5) cop lea thereof, at a feaiful exieoee of twenty- five (25) cents in government scrip, and withal said party is doing a good business and reputed wealthy. We thank Dim for thus liberally patronizing us. Had It not been for that scrip, we feel sure our doom woald have been sealed loug ago and a mis erable death been our portion. And yet we live, thanks to the liberal hearted business men of the town; the oarrier atill makes bis daily rounds, and said peanut hearted man with the bazel out cranium, it is said, starts and exolaims when be sees the boy "Why, bless me, I thought that paper was dead; I stopped it last week!" A few days since, Mr. Frank Bovee, an engineer at one of the wells on the McCiay farm, bad bis right band badly smashed. He was engared in putting new packiug iu a gas pump, and for that purpose bad taken the top of the pump tiff and bad It suspend ed to the walking beam with a piece of rope when suddenly it broke, and the beavy top fell, two of the bolts striking the back of bis band and passing nearly tbrotgb crushing the flesh and making a ghastly, wsund. His physician thinks the injury will not t permanent. i From the Tensngo Spectator we copy the following In regard to the Stoeber murder trial. Stoeber, It will be remembered is the young man that kill 3d young Gibson, at Rynd farm, In March last, an account or which was published in the Record at that tiros: Edwin Stoeber Indicted for the murder ot Robert Gibsou at Rynd farm on the 4tb of last March. The jury found a verdict of guilty of voluntary manslaughter. Senten ced to six months in the county jail and to pay a fine of This is one of the etddest oases ever tried in Venango county. Edwin Stoeber and Robert Gibson wete both attending the same sohool, and both were between 17 and 18 years of age. The fatal affair occurred just after the afternoon session of school. From the evidence in the cue which is too vol uminous ior us to publish It appears that Stoeber asked Gibson lor tome Lblack ink during the school hours, and that some flip pant words passed, between the two, wbicb resulted in an odious epithet from Gibson and a threat to whip Stoebor after school was over. When the school was out Gibson went out first and Stoeber followed. Gib son called upon Stoeber to fight, wbicb Stoeber declined. This was repeated two or three times, when Gibson struck Stoeber, clinched with him and threw him to the ground. While Stoeber was in this posi tion he took from bis pocket a knife wbicb he bad borrowed to sharpen his lead pencil and stabbed bis assailant two or three times In the leg near the Ibigh and once io the arm. Gibson got up and said ''I'm killed,' and as Stoeber was getting up, kicked him in tbo face. Stoeber, as soon as he got to bis feet, started on a run for home, Gibson followed for a short distance when ,be faint' ed from loss of blood. He died io a few days. Stoeber is said to be a quiet, inoffen sive boy. He was endeavoring to get an oducatlon In English, being already fairly educated in his native tongue German and after working from midnight until noon at running an engine would attend the afternoon session of the Rynd farm school. An old toper, standing on Washington street, night before last, soliloquized to himself as follows: "Well, hero I am, dead broke; lem'me see, what shall I do; can't lay out of doors to-nigbt as it rains; if I go to a second class bouse ten to one tbe landlord will put me out; I have It. I'll go to tbe best hotel in town and order the best the house affords; tbe landlord will not suspect me tor a dead beat; and once more, cheek, which has cir rIed me through many a tight place, even though I did get kicked out afterwards.wlll see me through this scrape; so hero's a go for bed, board and a drink of old rye." And of be started, singing "Rolling home In tbe morniDg, boys," apparently satisfied that be was at least Bitfe for one night. Important la accordance with tbe letr ter published last week from Hon. S. Grif fith, io regard to appointments to the mili tary and navy academies. Rev. S. M. Eat on, D. D., Dr. Loomls, and Hon. John Trunkey, tbe committee naased to conduct tbe examination, will perform that duty at tbe Court House, In Franklin, on Mooday May 6th, at 10 o'clock, where all desiring to be examined should present themselves. Tbe Central House has recently been re papered, painted and whitewashed through out, consequently presents a neat and in viting appearance. Messrs. Cross & McOm- ner, tue gentlemanly proprietors, are ever alive to tbe wants and oomfort of tbelr guests.

The boat containing Jerome Aiken's Ope ra House, which ran aground near Rouse vllle recently, bas been unloaded antrans ported tbo balance of tbe distance to Peters burg by rail. The origin of tbe Chicago firs is now trac ed to a Justioe of the Peace named Haines, who in a suit between Mr. O'Leary and somebody else, decided tbat the stable in wbicb tbe fire originated belonged to O'Lea1- ry, thus enabling him to quarter the cow in tbe building. Ledger Bonner spent $100,000 io adver tising his new story, "Mark llerber's Luck." But of course it "won't pay!" Advertising never doeB, and Bonner should have found it out by this time. Tbs prevailing topio of conversation is the Cincinnati Convention, and who stands the best cbanco of securing the nomination. Tbe candidates are Greetey, Davis, Brown, Curtin, Trumbull, Adams, Susan B. Antho ny and George Francis Train. May tbe best man win.

Last week another well was completed by Prentice, Crawford, Barbour & Co., on tbe Stroman farm, which is yielding 30 bar rels of oil per day. Oa Saturday, a well on tbe James Fosler farm, owned by Watson, Pittock Ss Co., commenced pumping at tbe rate of 1C0 bar rels per day, and at last accounts tbe pro duction had not decreased. Messrs. Patterson & Dickey will soon commence drilling two new wells on their lease on the Foster farm. Maj. James F. Mackey, of this city, is agan in luck, being the for lunate owner of an oil well, recently struck on tbe Foster Farm, four miles below this city, and about one-balf mile from tbe river, wbicb Is pro ducing 30 barrels per day. This strike opens up a large field of new territory, and causes considerable excitement. IVenongo Citizen. Peventli Alumni Mod lug of the Eiaf slo Mrivimsi Parts. Prem. innn-j3GO,OM.
