Yesterday we met a gentleman tapm the 'down river region, who at present has a number of contracts for drilling oil wells. He Informs us that tbe oil business is grea )y exaggerated in that region. Wells that were reported as yielding at starting 4C9 and 500 barrels daily, as soon as tbe bo: was pumped off, which usually took abou tinea or four days, ran down to seven a eight barrels. Tbe productlan he olaims Is largely over-estimated by tbe bears for the .sole purpose of keeping the price of n l down. He thinks before many months lb? entire lower country will be bankrupt Mho that be knew bore that wore unable j pay a week's board, down below have tbe most unlimited credit with the hardware aud lumber dealers, and bave drillej wel. after well on orodit.. This state of affairs caonnt last ranch longer, and even now tbe sheriff pays fiequent visits and sales are posted all over that section. There Is nn doubted ly more truth tban poetry in bis statements. Pomcb. Wash. Buckley, a resident of Pioneer, was brought before Justice Rey nolds, yesterday, charged with drunkenna and disorderly conduct. Wash, pleaded f, illly to tbe charge and was lined $1 and costs of suit. As no liquor Is sold at Pio ueer, and Wash, had uot been jut of town, the question among tbe good people of that burg Is "Where did be get that rum?" ' A teamster named Murphy was arrested a day or two sloce at the instance of Thomas Roach, agent for the Roberta Torpedo Co, charged with trespass. This suit grew out the upsetting of Mr. Roach's wagon, on Rynd Farm bill, several days ago, while returning from Kane City and having in the wagon at the time a quantity of nitrogly ceriue, an aocouot of which appeared in this paper at tbat time. Mr. Roach olaims tbat Mnrpby refused to allow him the right ol way, and by some means assisted in fright -nliig bis horse whereby the wagon, borse and all rolled down a steep bank and tbe wagon was badly broken up. The case came up fur trial this afternoon. - Richards fc Co., of Ktue City, are put ting down a new well on tbe Bautn faro-, Cherry tree Run.

HoitsK TiltKVKs The Buffalo Courier siys: Two young men named Richard od Stephen Stockley, brothers, were arrested last Saturday alternoon by Sergeant Na than, of the First precinct, on sunploion tf having stolen a horse. It was ascertained tnot they bad ihil afternoon shipped a box fur t bo west. Til" box was secured and found to contain two sets of names, wbicb proved to have been stolen Iron) a Mr. Phil lips at TonawamU. The brothers were at first obstinate, but finally acknowledged that they were professional burse thieves, and contessed that the bead man of the gang bad gone with sotao stolen horses Into Pennsylvania. On the night of the 9 til lost., tbey stole to horses at Pembroke, Genesee County, which tbey succeeded in getting through to a plaoe near Pltbole, Pa. I Acting upon, this information . Detective Mack was dispatched to the place named. Yesterday.be returned, successful in having recovered tbe horses, but the third man bad taken tbe alarm and escaped to parts un known. Tbe men in custody have doubtless been concerned in numerous larcenies ol horses. Their Intention was to have stolen mors at Tonawanda, or In that neighborhood, Sat urday n'gbt, and with that purpose in view tbey purchased saddles In this. Tbey will be committed to jail lo await examination. Tli ore la an Irishwoman of gigantic strength in St. Paul. One morning she lifted a barrel of sugar from the ground into a cart. The next evecing she presented ber husband with twins. Two days alter she did tbe washing for a family often per sons. Not so fortunate was a Missouri girl. She washed all day, made a supper of twelve bard boiled eggs, and dauced all night. It was mentioned that ber funeral procession was nearly a mile long. Thomas 0.

Several other cases are reported io tbe city. Horace B. Steveus, was fatally injured by tbe cars at Faotoryville, Luzerne county on Saturday last. Reading's new opera bouse is being flo isbed, tbat city bas now two ol tbe hand somest theaters in tbe country. Tbe Impression bave goae abroad that Mr. M. Samuels was about to sell out bif stook of dry goods at auolion and olose up bis business, he desires us to emphatically deny tbe tepott. He has no Intention of going away. Tbe report probably grew out ol the fact tbat be Is tu auction off a large stock of boots and shoes commencing Aug. 1st. Tbe corner-stone of a new Methodist Episcopal cbnrcb was laid at Rohrerstown, Lancaster county, on Sunday. It Is stated tbat Kate Stoddard, with nu' merous aliases, now io jail for tbe murder of Charles Goodrioh in Brooklyn, taught school io Uawellvilfe, Chester county in 18CG. A Lancaster, Pa , undertaker advortlses: "Gel your holiday Collins of J. Water bouse." A Kentucky man bas named bis sixteeotb Cbild, reoently born to him, Omega, hoping it will be the last. Tom Caruthurs don't get along very fast with bis patent on steaming wells. United States District Attorney Swope thinks the patent illegal, so operators can go on steam ing as usual without fear of lolriugiog a patent. Reading is overran with burglars and sneak thieves. Feebler, tbe tragedian, Is rusticating near Richlandtown Bucks county. W. Frick, aged tbirty-flve was drowned at York, on Tbersday last while bathing. Tbe London papers not having any revo lutionary beroes to fall back on are buutlng out old soldiers who fought with Sir John Moore of Corunna. Rather contradictory Gay's grave.

For tub Rkcouii Some years since while atleodiog school at K., we noted the following Incident: A number of students were tjiscussfng met a physical questions in the Post Office. Mr. L., the Postmaster, was a jovial good heart, ed fellow. Having served his country faitblully during the late war be oame home minus bis rlsbt arm, a very necessary part of one's au atomy as the sequel will show. He possessed aa ioordinate amount of sell esteem. ''Boys, I can tell you a more re markable Instanoe of stability of mind than that." We were all lileooe for we koew something good wan forthcoming.' ''I tnar ried Mrs. L. Mo. 2 after I came back from tbe war. She followed aobool teaching tor a livelihood. After I thought myself suffi ciently acquainted with her to jusiify tbe attempt, I tried to kiBS her but it was do go. I did not like to give up, bowever, and coaxed and pleaded, In fact brought all my powers Into requisition to secute if pos sible tbe coveted prize. She still held out. I tried coercion but she was vetsed in tbe "manly art,' and having but one arm I soon tired of this 'modus operandi.' Ex bausted I retired to the lurtber end of the jofa to contemplate ber. It tbis woman, whom I intend making my partner lot life. overcomes me now bow will it be in tbe tuture. I shuddered aaJ thought ot broom sticks, bald head, and perhaps turned out of bouse and borne. Was just thinking of taking French leave, when divining my thoughts she came to me, put ber lovely arms around my neck aod said 'Willie dear, kiss me just as much as you pleasei and suiting action to ber words sbe give rue a good square bug and kiss. I tell you boys I felt queer. Talk about children with first pants and red lopped boots, it won't com pare with my feelings at tbat moment. I just set to work and kissed until tbe roost ers began tbeir uncharitable crowing. I bave regarded ''male bens" as eternal toes sloce. Yes, boys, most remarkable instance of stability ol mind on record or off either. To think that sbe shold rreist all my elo; queoce, tears, protestations and finally mnscle. and then yield. There comes the stage and be retired to distribute tbe malt." A majority ot tbe people ot Mesdville want waft works constructed. People who own ovei $500,000 worth of property bave signed a petition asking tbe Council to eommeoee tbe works', aed people owning less tban $4,000 bavr.slgned a remonstrance. This looks as If the pipes would be laid bej fore long- . . The Courier-Journal It Is tbat remarks Some forty years ago, a pareel of fellows wbo were bunting stray cattle among tbe everglades of Florida came upon a party ol Indians tbe compatriots of Osceola en gaged in skinning some beeves.. They tired into tbe party of Indians and kilted five o' them. Tbat one volley of bucksbot Coat the government $30,000,000. A Lancaster young man, about to get married, bad also a prescription to be lilted He placed the minister's tee In one enve lope, aod a dollar note aod Ibe prescription In another. When tbe preaober bad made blm and bis beloved one, he banded over tbe wrong envelope. The mistake was not discovered for i ever a I days. A rag merchant lost bis rags and wagon in Willlamsport last week. He 'piled some rags soaked with oil in front of bis wagoo, and spontaneous combustion ensued during his absence from tbe wagon. By some tali running, be succeeded In overtaking tbe wagon in time to save tbe horses from be4 ing burned to death. IVOTfcS OF THE DAY.

There was an inorease of twenty-five per cent, to the mortality of New York last week over previous weeks. A young gambler, aged 14, lately fleeoed a member of tbe Texas Legislature of $U 200, at " little game." There Is talk again of starting a comic paper in Boston, to be called tbe Hub, and t0 be edited by George Lunt. The new oity reservoir in Philadelphia covers an area of one hundred acres, and bas a cspatity or 700,000,000 gallons. People who are always wanting some thing new, should try neuralgia. Mr. John Altman, a farmer residing about a mile west of Greenville, Is the possessor nr inn vear old bull and a spring chick en which manifest most temarkable af fection 'or one another. ' About three weeks irn the ehlcken lost Its mother through the subtile agency of a weazle, and tbe lorlorn little creature went about chirping Its woe, till the but I 'took compassion on it and as" saiiges its grief by certain acts ot kindness and tenderness, tbat resulted in a natural regard that is very curious. Tbe chicken will now roost ou no other place save on tbe bull's back, a lew inches back ot Ibe horns, while the bull placently chews bis cud or calmly sleeps without disturbing it in tbe least. A beautilul aod costly monument bas re oently beeo erected near Scrubgrasi, on tbe east bask of the A I'egbeny river, to the memory ol Dr. Wright, agent for Robert' torpeilos, and Harry J. Wolf, Western Un. Inn Telegraph operator, wbo were blown to atoms last winter while visiting a glycerine magnine at the abitve named place. Tbe monument is of One marble, about sixteen feet in heigbtb, 'and surrounded by a very neat and substantial iron lence. Tbe'monu. ment was paid for by tbe personal friends of the unfortunate gentlemen, and the fence is Ibe gift of Col. William Phillips, Presl dent of tbe Allegheny Valley Railroad, and cost tbe Colonel $1,200. Tbe annual session of tbe Etie M. E Conference will be held In Brookville, com menciug the 3d of September.

Jules Green Hood, stock broker well known In San Francisco, commuted suicide last night, by shooting himself through tbe bead witb a pistol. Disappointment in love and speculation caused tbe deed. Stephen Moletoo, an old and distinguish ed German citizen of Cincinnati, died last sight. He wss the founder of tie Yolks. blatt, and was also one of tbe early editors of tbe New York Zeitnng.
