We are psined to learn uf the denth Of Copt. Robert Duncan, which occurred at hit residence on Central avenue, Oil City, this morning. Capt. Dunoan was formerly a resident ol Pittsburgh, and wag widely and favorably known in the business circles Of that ciiy. He died after a lingering illness which be bore with becoming fortitude. Capt. Duncan waa one among the first set tiers of Oil City, and bis death will oecas ion regret to our community. He waa an estimable gentleman in ail the walks of life, and justly esteemed by all wbo knew birr. Oil City Register, yesterday. Capt. Dnucan was an unola to Mr. Geo. S. Duncan, of Dinner. He has long been identified witb tbe business Interest of this region, and his death will bo slocerely mourned by a large circle of acquaint ances.

Parkers's Landing is a lively place for tbe police. Tbey bi d no less tban eighteen criminal case there last week.. Tbe member ot tbe Editorial Convention ol luta Slate, will l iu Oil City oa TUuis- dav. THE EUB OF THE TIDE. Tbe steady flow of oil operators to that psrt ol Ibeoil country embraced In portions ol Clarion, Venaneo and Butler counties, Of which Parker's Landing Is the neatest cer tre, has caused an almost total suspension of extensive developments In that portion of tbe Oil Region surrounding and above Oil City. History repeats Itself with alarming fre quency In Petroleum development. This history of every oil field Is tbe some. From one to two years the wild exoitement In a new oil field continues, and then, alter bury ing your dead, and doing tbe best be can lor the wounded, the oil operator wends bis way back to tbe oil fields again, witb a light purse, but ample stock of dearly bought ex psrience. And yet be profits by this exper ience no longer tban be can recruit bis wasted means, and bears of a new field. Then off be 'goes again, and after varied fortunes, almost invariably comes out of the Dgbt more or less worsted. Within a very short time this surging tide, that has taken so many millions of dollars from tbe upper to tbe lower oil country, will roll back again, a nd In fact tbe backward movement la already taking place. Thoughtful operators, wearied with tbe certain tiocer talnties of "wild catting," lo tbe Parker and adjacent oil fields. Iiavu for some time been turning tbeir attention to tbe seemingly exhausted territory of tbe valley of Oil Creek and vicinity. The re sults arrived at by tbeir experiments bave been as usual, startling. Tbe old Empire well, oce ol (the old time leviathans, Is be ing pumped, and gives lortb a handsome yield, and new wells drilled in the immed iate vicinity, give promise of an excellent production. Tbe same remit has been proved at the Noble and Sberman wells Thousands of acres of virgin territory, com prising the bills tbat line tbe valley of Oil Creek, are now as favorable for oil produc tion as any territory known. Tbe "third sand" in this tipper oil coun try is reached at ajdepth scarcely ever ex ceeding 800 to 850 feet, and tbe total cost of drilling tbe wells averages from $4,500 to $5,000, according to tbe locality. Iu the lower oil field, wells bave to be drilled lo a depth of from 1,000 to 1,400 feel, and cost on average fully $3,000. The cost and difficulty of drilling doubles very fast arter the depth of 800 feet is reached, as every operator knows to bis sorrow. This Is one ai vantage in favor or tbe upper oil . field, and there are many others. Below there are no competing railroads, aod consequent. Iy no competing buyers, Ueuoe prices rule full twenty five la thirty per cent, lower. Tbt new oil. fields bave now been well de. fined, and dry boles are becoming uncom fortably frequent. We are pleased to note the fact of tbe turning of tbe tide that wil again render tbe bills and valleys of Oil Creek aod vicinity worthy of tbe fame en joyed in former years. We sball again sega good time for Oil City within tbe next six months. All tbe lands adjacent to our creek are being secured regardless of price, and leases are eagerly sought for. The Im portance of this change ot base to the busi ness men of this vicinity cannot be estimat ed. Let tbe good work be encouraged by all means. Keep tb tide rolling this way. For an oil operator lo think of developing tbe lower oil fields, when so rich prospect Is open before bim at tbe very portals of tbe mala outlet of tbe retro leu m Region. Ol' City, seems as great folly, as that of tbe horse tbat swam tbe river to get a driuk. Liei us grasp tne substance and let t shadow go. Oil City Register. The Register's article Is just to the point. History does and bas repeated itself In tbe valley of .Oil Creek. Tbe old territory around Petroleum Centre is again being made to produce oil largely. To be sine all tbe capital, or neatly all, at present In use in tbe,doworlver territory Isjtemporarily drawn Irom tbe OU Creek region, but already Indl cations can be plainly noticed among wel informed operatois of the decay of the hopes of those wbo left here to seek "greener fields and pastures new." Tbey are gradu ally working tbeir way back to tbe old and fruitful oil fields of Oil Creek, thinner In purse probably, but yet not discoureged.- We bave full laitb In tbe oil territory here abouts, and welcome back to our midst tbe operators who left for tte lower country in tending to get rich toa quick, but contrary to expectations fsiling In many Instances. Luck will undoubtedly change as soon as tbey tali bold of tbe old and reliable oil fields of Oil Creek. NuD said. A large number of gypsies are encamped at Oil City. Rev. Thomas K.

The Oldest Established Dry Soldier' IHnehnrgea. The Legislature of Pennsylvania bas made many provisions for tbe benefit of tbe soldiers, tbeir wives and children. Ia fur therance of this principle an act was passed at tbe last session requiring tbe Recorder of each county to procure proper books and re end 'bo discbarges ol all soldier serving In Pennsylvania regiments, as well as tbe com iuIssUds of officers and all tbe warrants ol nonrcommiBsioned officers. This is a mat ter of importance to every soldier. A loose discbarge is liable to get lost, destroyed, or worn out at any time. Iieie an official copy will be preserved for all lime, to which ac cess can be had ' without the trouble and vexation ot making application to the War Department at Washington.
