Recently our siBier towu of Cbarrytree has become quite prom inent In police circles. Another one ul these cases, in which a long series of petty thieving of chickens, eggs, butter, harness, saddles, bridles. Ivory rings, ic , has been unearthed, occupied tbe attention of Jus tico Reynolds and Deputy Hums nearly the entire day.

The setting of this gtug ol men to work would seem to indicate a legal squabble be tween tbe two companies. lie that as it roar, the men are at work grading on tLe Egbert farm, and we give tbe above ru mors lor what they are worth. A man lu Montana, a short time ago squatted on another person's land and builti a email Irame sbanty. When requested to move he positively refuted to do so, so one night a squad of men came round altor the squatter and his wife were aleep, and lilt ing the whole concern, shanty and all, with deliberate care carried it to tbe river and sot it on a small raft. Then they pushed tbo raft out into the stream and let bcr go When the squatter got up in the morning to go out be was surprised to Gnd himself about sixty miles down stream, and making good time In a nine-knot current. This is all we shall say about that man. It would bo extremely improperer to report his remarks in full in this paper.

Tbe distance from Sbarpsburg to tbe oil district Is thirty-three miles, and the cost of the pipe is estimated attfroui $250,- 000 to $300,000. Those who are vorsed in the business say that a profit of 50 or 75 per cent, per annum can be relied upon from the investment. It is said that a wealthy firm of pipe manufacturers in tbe eastern part of tbe State are willing to furnish the pipe, lay it, and take their pay in stock. Tbe line, if constructed, will be under tbe provisions of a free pipe bill. Tbe capac ity of the West Penn Railroad can be In creased to any extent required, and ship ments mido to the East as fast as the ell accumulates.

One of the towns whose rap Id growth was once a surprise to olldom. is Shamburg, Which is situated in Venango conoty upon tbe extreme bead waters of Cberry Run, about tlx miles southeast or Titusville, having easy communication with Titusville and Miller Farm, which latter it the nearest railroad depot. Tbo excite ment commenced in lbliC Several farms in tbe vicinity becamo the pro petty of oil off' erators, who, during tho spring and summer, commenced operations in earnest on a num ber of wells, but met with indifferent nuov coss, owing to tba fact that they were nO( bored dsep enongh. Among ttio farms which changed hands was tbe Nathan Sto well farm, which became the property ol tho Pittsburgh Cherry Run Potroleum Co. One wjII was put down seven hundred feet and abandoned, but tbo company taking tresh courage, recommenced tbe work aaio, under the euperiutendency of Dr. Shamburg. In tbe winter ol of liiiiG '.hey put down a well to tbo depth of 824 leet, and struck an oil vein wblcb proved to be a sixty barrel well'. The great depth required to be drill, cd caused the territory to be abandoned by a large number of operators. In tbcearly part ol 1SG7 three wells were put down, two of which proved to be pay ing wells. Ia tbe month tf July, of that year, Mr. S. O. Murray struck a sixty bar rel well about three-eights ot a mile west of the famous Shamburg well, on the so-called Atkinson farm, formerly known as tbe Fleming farm. A controlling interest was then secured oo wbat was known as the Tallman farm, by F. W. Andrews, of thi" city, and Stewart Bros., of Pioneer. After that a tract of 1C0 acres, adjoining the Tallman farm north, was purchased by Dr. Shamburg. Several wells were then put down on each of tbes e farms. Later in tbe fall Jack Brown and N. II. Cheney struck a 400 barrel flowing well oa tbe Atkinson farm, end W. G. Fee, an old operator of lower Cberry Run, struck another spouter- Prevl ens to (bis, flowing wells were regard'' ed as thing! of the pan, and many predict ed the last one bad been found ' in the oil regions, bonce tbe welis created a great ex Oitement. Tbe building lots were almost entirely on tbe A. Poor farm, adjoining the Atkinson farm south, and upon the Tallman farm quite a village sprung up, near Sham burg, thus making throe distinct villagea almost within hailing distance ol each otb e,', named bbamburg. Middletown and At, kineon. The name ol Shamburg has ol ways been applied to these throe places, in honor of tbe energetio Doctor, tOwhoui tbe place Is indebted for its oil. There was in the summer of 18GS four hotels, nine grocery and provision stores, one drug store, two clothing stores, three machine shops, the latter for tbe manfifaoture and repairing of well tools. There were also two physicians one Justice ot tbe Peace and two law vers. The Postoflice, which owes its exisieuceto, tbo euergy of tbe rfficient postmaster, A. H. Merrick, was originally located in Sham burg, but tbe growth ol Atkinson and Mid dletown caused tbe people to petition the Postoflice Department for its removal to tbe Tallman farm, and retention cf tbe Pubi master. The request was granted. The removal took place in J8U8. T6e daily prouueuon uur.ng me summer or istiij was about 3,500 batrele per day. Shamburg still flourishes, but not to tbe same extent aa io former years. Titusville Courier. COl'ltT PltOCEEUI.VGS.
