For several weeks pati y- , (em of petty lareeoy baa been going on among the wella In tbli ylelnity, to the great inconvenience of the ownert. A few days ago Henry Wilbert'a engine bouse on the Woods farm, was broken into and all the brasa Bttinga on the angina knocked off and carried away. Day before yesterday, one of Mr. James Dovlln's engine bouses, on the Dalzeil farm, was entered and tbe en gine entirely stripped ol tbe brass, tbe thieving scoundrels not content with taking tbe property complete, took an Iron bar and In-one them off, and broke the steam gauges and stop-cocks off, damaging the engine to an extent of over $50. Tbe engine bouse or well No. OS, owned by Mr. Thos. Watte, waa also entered and about $20 worth of brats fittings oarried off. In addition to tbe above robberies. Dr. M. C. Egbert's too bouse, on the Egbert farm, baa been broken Into several times and upwards of $600 worth of brass and Iron fltllogs stolen. Upon dlsoovering bis loss, Mr. Devlin at ooee toot active measures to discover tbe perpetrator ot tbe theft, and succeeded In tracing It to two or tbrea boys nam ed O'Nell, and several other boys, who ap pear to be members of an organized gang, established lor (be purpose of systematic robbery. He lound that tbe boys were seen to come down McCray Hill with tbe stolen property In their possession, aod that they bad been stopped by Mr. L. F. Egbert and another man, who look tbe brass away from .thorn aod laid it by for the owners. He also discoved that the same boys were la tbe babit.of committing these depredations aod disposing of tlut property to dealer la old j'lok. No arrest have been made a yet but we underhand It 1 the intention of Mr! 1L to pros.auU tbe offenders to the lull ex teat or tbe law. Tbryare bad boys, and jo example should be made of them by all janaus. Baslei la junk should be extreme, ly eamlul about purchasing brass ttulugs, i.w iby may yet into trouble. A ittitoti gam of baa bait is being play ed ibis afternoon oath i'etrolias grounds, between tie Third SaaJ Eqcks of Church foun, a,nlthe relrttlUt of raljeuui Ceo-u. Pitrolicm Ite-ms. A new well was struck on Thursday afternoon, An theTobey lease of tbe Hyde Farm, upper Sensjeboff Run territory, which waa yielding yeaterday 35 to 40 barrels per day good. Tbe well 1 owned by Messrs. Melville, Purtle, Weaver aod Jackson, and tbe land Interest I owned by Hugh OH are, of Sbamburgh, and Wm. H. Abbott, of Titosvllle. W have in our possession a piece of sand rock from this well which will compare favorably with any similar rock In tbe oil region. It is coarse, pebbly and thoroughly Impregnated with tbe greasy fluid. Tbe striking of tbla well indicates tbe direction of tbe belt to be toward tbe Gebrlng farm, a abort dlslauce back of this place. That then is a 'large extent of new territory in Ibis vicinity there is no doubt in the minds of those at all con versant with the paat oil developments in tbe neighborhood aud that it will soon be opened up we have no doubt. There are now six well going down on the upper Benneboff Run territory, and many more new one are talked of. Tbe atriking of this last well will no doubt stim ulate many operator to take bold of devel oping who bave held off lor the purpose of Boding out Id which direction the supposed oil belt ran. Tbe Fox well, on tbe Curry farm, recent ly (truck, I yielding tlx or seven barrels per day. Tbe Irwin, Woods and Egbert well, Pierce farm, will be completed next week. Tbe line of tbia new development indi cates almost clearly that it is a connecting link between tbe Church Run territory, back of Tituavllle, aud the Cberrytrea Run oil belt near this place, aod that sooner or later there will be a oootinuou airing of derricks on this new line all tbe way from Titusvilie to some point near Oil City. Qukrt. In the matter of returning un licensed liquor dealers, Jto., to court, do the officials serve all place tbe same way, aod Is there no liquor sold surreptitiously at Rousevllle or Oil City? About once la so often every man, women and child tiat any hold can be got upon, are 'pulled" and aeot to Franklin, if they are unfortunate enough Dot to bave money to put up for bail. It look very much aa If it waa done either out of (pile or else lor tbe purpose of en richlng tbe pockets of certain county official. A trlend at our shoulder want to know how the old thing works at Rousevllle and Oil City, aad thinks it cannot was. Tbl que ry I not put lor tbe purpose of upboldiog unlicensed liquor dealers, or any similar evil, but merely to And out if all sections are served alike by tbe eagle-eyed officer of tbe law. A rood many tbink not. Some time la lest November, a man nam,, d Andrew Martin, borrowed a valuable saddle aod bridle from McDonald's livery stable, In this plaoe, for tbe use of which be waa to pay fifty cent per day and war to return the aama withlo a dated time. This be failed to do, but Instead Kept tbe articles for two or three months and tbenold them Oc Wednesday, Mr. McDonald came to tbe conclusion that Martin bad used bis saddle and bridle about long enough, and accoi diogly be went before an Oil City Justice aod took out a warrant against Martin for trover and conversion Tbe next day tbe artiolr mysteriously found tbelr way back to tbe stables in this plaoe. This doe not olear Martin, a a nice little bill of over $100 stand against him for tbe use of the saddle. He will probably not desire to borrow another saddle for some time to come. The Rev. Mr. M'Loud, mention of wbom was made In yesterday' Recoup, baa ac cepted tbe Invitation to preach, in the Pre' by terlan Church at tk Is place, to-morrow and the Sunday following. It 1 tbe earnest wish of tbe elders ol the society that every member be present to-morrow forenoon aod evening aud bear tbe eminent divine, iu order that if chosen as the future Pastor of the society, there need be no dissatls. taction because the member did not bear blm on the trial sermon. We commend the article iu auotner col umn from tha N. 1. Post, relating to the Judiciary of the country. We opine were tbe Judges cf all our courts appointed in stead of elected, there , would be far less corruption and rottooneas prevailing, and uesilgtn at present banging over that im portant department of civil government would be forever dissolved. The government is said lo be acquiring a valuable stock of diamonds. Many attempts to smuggle them have been discovered, and tbe gems bave been eeizod. Costly bril liant bave been found la lette: sent by mail, la boot-keels, Iu cakes of wax aod candy, and In plugs of tobacco, carried careltssly in Ibe pocket. la tbe grand march of progress now mow lng all tbe nations of Europe, Rossi, great in all material things, evldeutly does not intend to be lelt one single step lo tbe rear. In the estimate of tbe. recent Muscovite budget :t,jOO,000 are set aside for eduoa-l . i i . . 1 tiuuai ui jroat v. The New Jersey Conrti. From lb New Ycrk Poet. A day or two since It was announced that the Court ot Pardons, In New Jersey, bad commuted the sentence of LlbbleGarrabrant to imprisonment for life, and refused to in terfere with that of Commissioner Bumsted, seotenced to bard labor for nine months. These decisions are Important, as showing that tbe pardoning power lo at least ooe slate I lo good bands, and confirming tbe general Impression as to tbe excellence ot the New Jersey courts. Llbbie Garrabranl waa a poor weak-minded creature, whose execution for murder would bave done noth ing whatever fur, tbe repression of crime, and, In fact, merely bad tbe effect of stlmu latlog tbo zeal of those who are trying to brisg about an abolition of capital punish meat, and who bave a lurking suspicion that all punishment Is wrong, jjumsted, on tbe other band, was a millionaire of tbe Tweed stripe, who bad made bis fortune by pluod ing tbe publlo la bl official position. He bad wealth and influence behind biro, and it is greatly to tbe credit of tbe court that it should bave thrown- to tbe winds all consld erations but those ot justice aod confirmed tbe sentence. It is not every court in the country which would bave dared to do so. It is a curions fact that tbe courts of New Jersey should be perhaps tbe ablest and tbe purest In tbe country. For example, tbe dee cisions of tbe Supreme Court of that state bave been lor many years lar better consid ered, and bave contained mucb more good law, than those of our Court of Appeals. If any lawyer, familiar with the decisions Of tbe state courts in general, were oalled upon to select the best two in tbe country, be would undoubtedly name Massachusetts aod New Jersey. There can only be one rea son for tbia that tbe Judiciary is not elec tive. Tbe legislatures la Massachusetts and New Jersey are not good; they are controll ed by railroads, just as tbe rest are, and are (composed of inefficient, timid creatures. whose movements are like those of cattle rather than human beings. Both in New Jersey and Masaaobusett the lobby is in full force. In other words, the eamn political force are at work In New Jersey and Jias sacbusett as are at work In other states. But the judges are pure and honest. What fa the reason? Tbe only answer to this question that can be given is that that they bave a certain tenure of tfflce, and ere ap pointed to it not by a grog'sbop oaucus, but by a single responsible executive.

C. 1 BUTTON. N. B. For particulars ap- ply to Mr. John ilolsapple, Meet lng of the Oil Men.
