Gold at 1 p. m. 1U Elsewhere we publish tbe announcement of our (until very recently) townsman, Mr. J. M. Dickey, who will be a candidate for Congreaa on tbe Republican ticket. Of tbe political belief or Mr. Dickey we have noth ing to lay and ear nothing about, but aa ao independent journalist we desire to say a word lor a good man, It is a well known (act to all parties tbat tbe gret petroleum Interests of Venango county bare never bad a representative either In the State Legislature or the U. 3. Cngrers, conse quently great injustice has been done us on more Iban ooe occasion by nnscrnplous po Jitloel demagogues. As a remedy against this evil, we bave always held that a man ebould be ehoien fur t5e important offlse of Congressman, wbo was not only engaged In the business of oil operating, but whose In terests were clotely identified with petrole urn mining and the welfare of tbe oil eonn try. In tbe parson of Mr. Dickey we tbink tbe right man bas been found. He Is an old oil operator, thoroughly versed in petro leum mining, anil Iheielore folly under stands tbe wants of tbe people in the way or legislation. Of toe ability el this gen tleman to execute tbe wishes of the people we bave no doubt. Personally, Mr. Dickey needs no recommend Irnm us, and on the whole we think be would represent our In tresis bones My, faithfully nod efliciently. This Is our say.

Some or the Creek refiners bave tint little bopn of anything being effected.

Letter From Pithole. Pithoi.1 Crrr, May 12, 1872. Ma. Editor: Sinoe my last, we bave had a citv fire, a rare ocenneae, in our Borough, for our citizens, from experience, are wary of the demon, and but tor this, would bsvd been clear or Dim rot over a year. The fire originated In what used to be the old Rkcord building, occupied by Mr. Wilson and raraily, wbo lost nearly all tbeir furniture. It then took tbe Bakery Vbuilding of Mr. Wbile, taking of course every loaf it could, as welt as the building.' Mr. W's loss is considerable, bis ovens, &o., being destroyed. He, however, is bard at work buildiog again, and In a week or two ill give us a lreb Bon Bon. Mr. W . wishes te return thanks to bis friends for tbeir sympsthy and encouragement. There baa been no new strikes, but we are hourly wsiting on two wells, almost completed in a splendid sand. They are situated in the Borongh limits snd belong to Tadder, Haskell, and other-. Tbe Per kins, Billenger t Co., well was torpedoed and is now doing forty barrels per day. Tbe fire in the woods bus caused quite a damage to tbe lences between here and Plumer, also destroyed many cords of wood belonging to Pratber, Hatch, Duncan and others. I find the whole country from Pit bole Creek to Plumer burnt black. Tbe Oberly well, near the New World tract, about a mile from Plumer, Is progreieicg rapidly. Ten days more will, I tbink, reward Mr. O. for his perseverance. I learn that many of tbe oil bubble Inter ests are being bunted up by parties Irom tbe east, wbo or course paid for tbem, hence we am lookiog for tbe reorganization of many of the old companies wbo had given up all for lost. It will no doubt disturb many of our neighbors wbo have squatted on tbeir land, but nil lands are becoming valuable, and it is becoming known iu tbe east. Our Borough is io a flourishing condition.

Sardin, is tanking and selling about 90 barrels. These parties are pitting down four more wells and bave two leases on which wells sre to go down immediately. The Fanny Jane with other weils in tbe vicinity open a rich district, and Belt men bave already located wells at intervals for a distance of six or seven miles beyond. Tbe McClymeoa welt, a mile In advance of tbe Fanny Jane, la nearly down. Tbis field in activity and actual operation is now rivalling St. Petersburg and is going to enable Parker's Landing to more than bold Its own against all competitors tbe coming year. s A well owned by Wilson Taylor and oth ers was completed recently on what 'was formerly part or tbe Morgan farm, Llttr8 Bear Creek. This well yjelded a Urge amount of oil after first starting up, but its proouction gradually decreased. Owners and others interested entertain tbe hope that it wjlj continue good for a daily yield of 15 or 20 barrels. It is now contended tbat tbe well owned by George USI'imick aud others, lucated near Fairview, Butler county, Is tbe best well on the Parker's Landing side of tbe Allegheny river. A well owned by Harrington Brothers oo tbe tarm of James Campbell, Esq., near tbe mah of Bear Creek, bas been pumping forever one week and continues to yield about 60 barrels of oil per oy.
