The BiiH'iiIi) ciu'l Jamestown lUtlroad will
be eompletcd to Gowand, 28 miles Iroin
.'Biitfilo, by the 1st ol September. This toad
in A No. 1 in all ronpecm. The bridges all
iron, no trestles, and excellent rolling stock
The belie! is uow Reocral tbut tbe Titusvllle
end of tbe road will not oe built, efforts are
being- made to Induce tbe O. C. fc A. R. R
to extend tbeir trnoic to Kanaoipn, tntr'y
miles from Jamestown, at which point the
Buffalo Jfc Jamestown will connect. Tbe
grades'trom Irvinelon to Randolph are eesY
so tbe expense will be light. . This will give
tbe Oil Creek & A. R. Uy., through connro
tions with New York. Wo learn tbe above
on good autboiity. .
Should tne above expectations be leal'Z
ed the iulcrestj of tne oil legion will.be ma.
terially advanced, as tbe real center of the
oil business Oil City Vlll be connected
by a cheap line with Uiiffilo and New Yorki
and tbe oiuaide oity of Tliusvllle deservedly
loft out In the cold. This Is just, after tbe
effusive zeatg displayed by tiie TltU'villiau8
as the "On 10 Buff.lo" rxcilement , of 1872,
and tlKlr snUs-qiieut fizzle respecting tbe

A correantiadent of tbe 'i'iliisvllle Courier
'writing Irom Oil City, says: Notwitb
Handing tbe immense production ol tbe
lower district money is as bald to get there
as In tbe tipper country. A number of
gentleman engaged In business there claim
that tbev.aie only working for the Sheriff,
end many nt ths.n express the intention of
corat.ug back to Oil City and Tliusvllle.
Thinking and observing men are convinced
that qil develoymsnt can be generally profit,
a'ble only In shallow territory. It Is about
na difficult to drive needle through a oatn
el's eve as to make money out of a 1,600
foot well.
On Sunday mornluir last train tf seven

Railroad. Tbe same morling three loaded

Local items ace suatoe this day.
MlLLERSfcwN. This place seems to b6
the centre of tbe most producttvo portion Of
the great Dutler oil Held. Tbe wells Which
Have been struok there during tbe past
week have proved tb be very large, but we
presume that their production is greatly ex
aggerated. As is tbe case In all parts of
tbe lower oil region, the wells have to be
put down to a very great depth. There
are three stage lints running to Mlllerslown
dally one from Brady's Bend, another from
Parker City, and a third from Butler. Tho
place is rapidly building up. Four large
hotels have started, which are crowded with
guests. Many of the old pioneers ol tbe oil
region, some who were at Oil City as early
as '61, at Pithole and Plumer In '05, and
subsequently along the creek, are to be met
with in Mlllerstown. BubIocss Is, of oourse,
at present very lively, notwithstanding tbe
low price of oil. Those wbo nave visiiea
this oil new oil town, say that in activity,
excitement and recklessneas of speculation,
Mlllerstown equals Pltbole In tbe palmy
days of 1865. We met yesterday a gen tli
raei from tba Tidtoute dislriot, who bad
tnat returned from the Butler oil field, and
wbo in bis travels had vtettea sm.ers.owp
andjlnspected tbe big wells tbere. While
be Is willing to admit that their production
It immense, ba says that greatly exaggerat
ed reports have been sent out lo regard to
them At present, however, tbe excite
ment It very great and Immense numbers of
people are flocking 10 the place.
We would call tue attention ol our oltl
zeos to tbe advertisement of Ibe Snnville
Seminary, of whloh Prof. 8. H . Prather, of
Cberry'.ree, is tbe prlnolpal. Tbe Seminary
is In a retired location and entirely rreu
Irom Influences of an evil tendency. The
main building is 55x32 In size and has an
addition 10:x31. Tbere is a large portico
In front where pupils cm sit and enjoy he
beautiful scenery which abounds In that lo
cality. The rooms are fourteen feet high
and all lathed and plastered. The lower
floor is divided by a parmanent partition
and the upper room by a portable partition.
The upper room is used for a lecture roonv
Three oompetent teachers are employed In
the school, and the inducements offered are
as good as can be fouod in any school lo
tbe Slate.
Tbe Petersburg Progress gives the fo'.
lowing version of the recent row between
Binge s Derousse and Vensel of that place:
St. Peleisburg has been thrown Into a fe
ver of excitement for tbe last few days, by a
sliulit misuderstnndinu "between two of
bur most prominent citizens, the Ex and
pi'PEent Buigessr Ow'ng to the different
versions of the affair we are unable lo stale
the origin of tbe difficulty, nor who made
the diet attack upon this occasion. Suffice
It to suv that It appears to be an old grudge
whloh the parties attempted to settle last
Saturday night. In the melee'' Mr. Der
ont.se lost a largo part of bis ear, wblcb wat
apparently bltled off.
We are extremely sorry 10 see our officials
and esppciallytbosn wbo bave held and now
hold th3 highest office in the gilt of tbe bor
ough, setting such an example to onr citi
zens. And we though that the days of bit
log and gouging were over, and a fair etand
up flight wat all that even the lowest public
opinion would loleiale. Those who en
deavor to maim or disfigure another, utiles
pnrelv lo tJlf-defence, are tnexouslble and
dernrve tbe severest censure.
A alight explosion occurred at Fairfield,
Piesion & Co s Refinery, last night. It was
occasioned by the blowing off of one of tbe
manbeads of the tar still. Damage small.
The business of our next door neighbors,
Messrs. Howe & Cook, dealers in recond
band oil well supplies, has increased to that
extent that tbey bave been compelled lo
purchase a large sized casing and tubing
en iter which it is tbeir Intention to run by
steam. Goad for them.
Tbe new well put down by Jonathan
Watson, of Tilnsvillo, turns out to ba a
dry hole. The well it located near Cher
ryttee village.
It is to be hoped Ibe Citizen's Corps en
campment at Chautauqua Lake will break
up soon. For the last tew days tbe Titus-ville-pnperi
bave been devoted entirely to
said encampment. Give us a little rest 00
that, gentlemen.
Mrs. 11 111 wig has not recovered that lost
obeck at yet. As sbe standi teriously In
need of this check iq order lo enable ber lo
move to l'etrolla, tbe party having laid
check should by all means return It, and
save the county unnecessary costs.
A collision of two lugs with an excursion
bark last night, on the Hudson river, near
Albany, resulted in one boy being fatally
Injured and four.otbers badly wounded.
George N. Sanders, so ooosplcnout on tbe
Confederate side during the rebellion, died
very suddenly of heart d isetse yesterday
morning at bis reeldenoe la Now York city.
In Deep, Cold Water.
We believe It a well established fsct, say
Ibe Gold Hill News, that tbe bodies of per
sons drowned in Lake Tail's have never
been recovered, the clear, cold waters of Ibe
lake absolutely refusing lo give up tbeir
dead. Tbit oircumslaoce, which al first
thought, appears straoge, it accounted for
upon the hypothesis that the waters at tbe
bottom of the lake are so icy cold as
aolually to arrest decomposition and conse
quent expansion of a deud body, one of tbe
conditions uuder which It would be expect
ed to return lo tbe turl'aoe. Wuetber the
victims wbo repose at tho bottom of the
pellucid waters of this far-tamnd lake un
dergo petrifaction, or are transformed luto
mermen and mermaids, is a secret whlci
will never be known until tbey come to tbe
surface at tbe summons ol Gabriel's trumpet.
When the Sea Bird was lost lo Lake Michi
gan lo three hundred feet of water two boO.
iss out of one huudred lost only were res
cued. When the Lady Elgin was lost lu
eighty-six feet of water only a tun mile.
fiom tbe first disaster, every body out of
four hundred and over wn finally rescued-
A local politician tu our neighboring
county of Crawlord was discovered at one
o'clock lo tbe morning, dressed in home
spuoand plowman's shoes, jwlth bayseed in
bit hair and a pitchfork In bit band making
a let speech lo an imaginary Farmer's
Grange He bad the doors barricaded and
tbe window partially blinded. After an
oratorical effort of surpass! ng eloquence be
stepped forward and began baod-sbsking
with tbe chairs, when he beard a voice Irom
tbe oti'side congratulating bit) boroey-band
ed effort, and alt at once tbe light went out
and silence resigned supreme.
An eye wuuess relates a thrilling inci
dent that occurred at bis boarding bouse
tbe other moruiug In Lanoaster. Two gen
llemeu boarders, at the breakfast table en
gaged 1.1 a diEcusilon of "Ctc-arlsm," and
soou began to punctuate tbeir remarks by
flinging crockery ware at each other's head
and brandishing knives and lorks, and
threatening to oause life-blood lo flow. A
panic eusued. The landlady ran out o! the
bouse screaming minder, a young thing pur
porting to be nineteen years of sge faioled
dead away and had all tbe paint and enutr
el washed off ber face, a timid youth bid in
the caller, tbey eyes of the potatoes bulged
out with affright, and tbe bair In the but
ter Hood on eud.
The Mew Dollar.
Tbe new silver dollarjust Itsued fiom the
United Stales mint, lo be used lor trade pur
poses, and known as tbe "trade dmior, " Is
making lis appearance. It weighs veii
aod a half grains more than that of 1871,
and tbirty-ix grains more than two h ill
dollars of that date. On the oliverne of the
new cola It a representation of Coinmrce
sealed upon a bale of cotton and nriyliig
an olive braoob of peace lu her exienil-'i
right band. Upon a scroll, grs(ied liv her
left and ttailing gracefully to the ginund. is
tbe word "Liberty," while beiieaih Ibe
wbold and Immediately above the tla'e
"1873," it tbe motto, "In God we trust."
A tbeaf uf ripened wbeat and a view, In tbe
distance, of the sea. oomplete tbe picture
and tbe emblemelioal eignifioonoe of Ibe
whole, Tbe sealed figure It somewhat
smaller than the ooe on tbe original dollar.
Tolrteen ttars, alto tomewhat smaller, tur
round tbe whole. Tbe general charaoteris
tiot uf tbe reverse are the tame as on the
ordinary dollar, an eagle grasping In iti
lit talons tbe emblematical arrows and olive
braoob oocupylng Ibe centre.
Oil Shipment During Ibe month ot
July, as we gather from the gnager'e books
(W. O. Goldiick,) tbere was shipped Irom
Fairvlew rack East Brady, 1637 cart and
from Biady't Beod 20 cars, making a total
of 1667 cars. Tbe heaviest day's tbipmeott
were on ibe 21st and 25tb, wben 101 and !8
cars respectively were loaded. This wat
heavy wnik, aod tbori what it being done
at this point. East Biady Independent.
The I'gbtning struck the pipe of the AnU
weip Hoe on Toikey Run, near Keailog't
fu'nace, and set fire to the oil In an adja
cent lank containing at tbe time about lour
hundred barrels of oil. The tank and oil
were destioyed but the strenuous exertions
of tbe employes resulted in saving tbe
pumps and other property. Tbe loss will
be in Ibe neighborhood of a thousand dot
lars.
Tbe Danville Times it getting quite ex
alted about tbe Farmer's movement. It
says lo a wild warwbooping way: "Stand
aside politcians you little goafs and
worms or tbe farmers will tlep 00 you and
kill you I The farmer will crush lbs very
life out of any party or politician wbo bin
ders tbe oar of reform I With corn at a
quarter a bushel, you may as well play with
an elephant as a farmer. " Tbe sentiments
are good, but what puzzles us It to know
wby tbe (aimer is like a elephant and. what
com u of . playing, wilo an elephant..
