Petholkcm Cbntrs, Aug. 19, 1872. Mr. Editor: This morning's Herald has a well written letter from a correspondent callieg attention to the over production and Its remedy tbe cessation of drilling. While no donbt over-production It more or l;ss fact til tt remedy aplaloi, If not a feasible one, I think tba paper contract sys tem bu a more Injurious effect on tbe oil business than any other, these contracts are without any Intention ol either party to the contract to deliver oil. It is always at tbe expiration of tbe time, a question of differ ence only, a'nd tblt question hit been an swered frequently of late by tbe failure of Ben in uigu repute. 1 now inn u a great ana growing em. - Speculation, based on these flimsy eontraota, stimulate! production one day by giving ai figure too high and depretsea It tome other day by giving lest than II It Intrinsically worth. In other wordt the actual produc tion It but a shuttle cock In the bandi of sharpers tojmanipulate values to salt tbelr purposes for tbey will tell and agree to de liver one half a doaen timet the daily pro duotion for every day of tba year to come. It it because a oabal can by this pernicious system, aet at .defiance tbe experience and judgment based on yean of business life, that to many men of means and ability fall. Atleut half our' overproduction, and more than half tbe evils wa have to com plain of u Incidental to the oil trade, owe their origin directly to these gamblers, who as a rule have no oil and want none. Again, there It a diss of contracts for actual delivery tbat have been quite popo lar with producers, ie, live contracts for first tlx or all year. - A high average, at the pro ducer as a rule Is always good.lor bla sldi and as tbe other party is on the whole lew 'lkely to be. If the market rules low any time, a failure la likely to result and the producer gaina nothing. If speculation must remain aa a part of tbe o 11 business and at long u men can be lured by tbe hope or easy gain, it will most likely let us by common oontent put It under restraint Lei every contract be for actual delivery ol oil on oars, and one dollar a barrel .be put up for collateral by eaob contractor. It will require money to run the thing and irres ponsible parties will be out. What the producer needs at bad ly as anything else is that tbe business should come right down to actual trade a real demand for consumption. Then Jhe supply will soon adjqst Itself. Tbe growth and development of tbe oil field will be natural. Tbe producer will have tpot oil to sell Tbe refiner and exporter will bay as tbey need It and pay all It It worth in tbe mark ets of tbe world. Crcdi. Tbe comet atory bu been delightful exl genoy for Jones.

A stranger, wbo occupied the pulpit la a Baptist church, near Utlca, on Sunday week, during tbe first prayer leaned heavily on tbe desk lo front of him which proved to be not fastened at II ibonld be. Suddenly tbe devout raised tbelr eyes at a atartllog cruh, and beheld tbe desk, tbe Bible, tbe bymobook, a vase of flowert and an empty goblet strewn upon tbe floor, while amid tbe pile floundered Ihe officiating clergyman. Fortunately, ha was unhurt, and after order was restored, pro ceeded with tbe services.
