The performance at Hyde's Opera House, Tuesday evening, Sept. 3d, by tiie Ridgway School Dramatic Asso ciation, merits more than the mere mention of a local item Since the erection of the hall the writer has con tended that there was sufficient talent in the village, if even half trained, to give a better rendering of many of the minor dramas that has yet been given in the hall. This prediction wus fully verified in the acting of the lads and misses of the village. With no coaching or training, ex cept at a couple of rehearsals by the late J. O. W. Bailey, they did more than well they did excellently and only utter the universal verdict when I say, that the audience was agreeably surprised and highly pleased. Criticism has its one office as well as commendation, and, I have no doubt, will be kindly received. I hardly need remind the young actors that however well their lines may bo committed, unless distinctly delivered, and accom panied with appropriate action, they do not create the illusion that the spec tator is looking upon a real scene, or reach the aim of the actor's art. The great fault was indistinct utter ance caused by low tones and rapid and careless pronunciation. This can be easily remedied with most, though one or two will never succeed, even passably ; ull the rest will, with care ful training, do well. Mark Ashtou's action was good, but his lines were spoken altogether too fast. Pretzel was good all through, even to the drop into the water in Pru dence's washtub. Ginger did well ex cept in tones. Little Ruth, the Qua keress, was a model of demureuess and purity, but her voice was pitched too low. Putty and the old Quakeress were quite excellont, the words well spoken, with good volume. Prudence was a success.and Bustle's buttered side was not always down ; ia fact, under the circumstances, a word could be said favorable to all. One feature, and a pleasant one, was Miss Jennie Jackson's music, which won hearty applause, as, in fact, did the actors themselves. Should the Association conclude to give another entertainment may j be there to hear, and find the hall filled to overflowing. . DEATH OF LIEUT. J, 0. W. BAILEY! Resolutions of Respect.

Last Friday night about oneo'clock, the camp was very generally aroused by the painful intelligence that Lieut. J. O. W, Bailey, Co. H, Ridgway rifles, had been found dying iu his tent. The facts are reliably as follows : Lieuten ant Bailey had spent the evening with a number of fellow officers in a most agreeable manner, but had complained ofa pcculiarpainln the back of bis neck during the day. Retiringabouteleven o'clock, apparently in good health, lie was noticed shortly afterwards by Second Lieut. C. II. Rhincs, his tent mate, to be breathing strangely, but no attention being paid he was allowed to remain so until one o'clock, when it was discovered that Lieutenant Bailey was unconscious and nearlng his last moments. His body was taken on a couch to the Kent House, where he breathed his last at Ave minntes past two o'clock Saturday morning, A medical gentleman pronounced the cause of death to have been apoplexy, by which disease he had been twice previously prostrated. The body was immediately washed and attired in full dress uniform, and placed in a case. The company had fixed upon Saturday as the day for moving, and hence as Llcutenaut Bailey had tele' graphed his wife they would be In Kiugway Saturday evening, were all ready to move. At sunrise the flags were all placed at half-mast, and Cupt, I. B. Brown, Company A, Corry, es corted Captain Fred. Schoeningandhis mournful train to the depot, where an affecting prayer was made by Chap lain R. H. Austin. This was a most touching scene as t lie men and officers stood with bowed head, the tears fell like rain from their eyes. The mel ancholy affair cast a gloom over the entire camp every soldier felt it. At dress parade in the evening resolu tions of respect testifying to his excel lence as a man, efficiency as a soldier, courteousness as a friend and com panion.were read by Chaplain Austin, and the regimental colors draped In mourning. Lieutenant Bailey was a man of scarcely thirty-five, leaves a wife and three children. He was one of the most able lawyers at the Ridgway bar ; was a member of the Republican State Committee in '76 ;;at the time of his death chairman of the Republican County Committee of Elk. He was a large, finely-formed man, strictly tcuperute in his habits, a thor ough gentleman and a soldier, whose presence and assistance will be long missed In the Ridgway Rifles by Cap tain Schoening. Colonel Magee and his entire com mand, including the Titusville Citi zens' Corps, accepted the invitation of the citizens of Jamestown on Satur day morning for a grand parade, and the general privileges of the town The troops were transported by steamer Jamestown, and were received at the borough by tho Jamestown Swedish militia, borough trustees and citizens, escorted through the principal streets of the borough, and reviewed In the public square. The troops did some splendid man oeuvering, and were much admired by the spectators, who had come from all quarters to see the parade. The Ve nango Greys, Captain Wiley, wore white duck pants, thereby sliowin their fine marching to good advantage The privilege of two or three hours' marching through the streets com prised the hospitalities of the occasion Charles Jackson, colored, was ar rested last evening for stealing blank ets, shirts, money and other articles from Colonel Magee's apartments. He had been suspected, and had eluded de- tectlon until the proof positive turned up in the finding of two camp chairs preseuts to Mrs. Col. Magee, In the depot, directed to himself at Franklin Corp.

Commencing at the line between New York and Pennsylvania, the warrants in McKean county, through which this road runs, are numbored as fol lows: 3427, 8499, 3498, Tarpoit, 3900, Bradford, 3310, 3313, 3310, DeOoller, 3905, 2285, 2278, 2275. 2200, Big Shanty, 2204, 2257, 2254, 2253, 2247, Buttsvllle, 2248, 2241, 24C0, 2009, 2005, 2703, How ard Hill, 2G00, 2091, 2G92, 2088, 208-5,' 2084, 2070, 2075, county line. The different veins of conl occurring in the basins through which this road runs, have been designated by the letters of the alphabet the lowest vein being called "A," the next higher one "B," the one next above that " C," anil so on up. In the sixth basin tho "A" vein extends far enough north to cross the New York State line, but is so thinned out us to be worthless; none of the coal in the other basins reaches the State line. Going south along tho line of this rail way the thickness of this vein in creases, and other veins successively appear above it, so that beforo reach ing Kenzua Creek, near the south line of warrant 2241, twelve distinct veins are said to be encountered, which have been designated by the letters from " A " to " M," inclusive. According to the report of a Geological examina tion made prior to the construction of the railway, the average thickness of these veins is as follows : " A " vein 4J feet. Splint Veiu."

About one third of this land was reported as contain ing no good workable coal. Tho re maining 27,545 acres was estimated to be capable of yielding, exclusive of mine waste, pillars and slate, 179,559, 500 tons of saleable coal. Tho urea underlaid by each vein, and the num ber of tons estimated in each, being as follows : ' A " vein, 27,545 acres. 114,421,000 tons "D" " " E " " lQ" II 'L" " Of this classified 13,044 5,415 1,980 173 27,288,000 27,075,000 9,900,000 875,000 coal 40,824.000 tons were as Cannel, and the remain der as Bituminous cool. This Geologist says he went over the estimates several Jiues correcting errors, and that they may bo relied upon; nevertheless, in footing up the total amount of coal he made an error of several millions of tons, which leads one to suppose ho may not have been very particular In the other details ; at all events, when mining operations were subsequently commenced, the miners failed to find many of these veins ; the Cannel coal proved to be "aliunde,'1 and a large part of the Bituminous coal turned out to be "bone." The following remarks (condensed) and analyses are from a report of Dr. D. D. Owen, after an examination of the same lands, made about the same date as the report before referred to : " The lands which forms the subject of this report comprise about 42,000 acres, largely occupying un extensive plateau, whence arise the branches of the Tunungwant, Tunaette and Kenzua. The base line of the railroad survey is 844 feet above Lake Erie, and the elevation of this plateau is from 050 to 700 feet above the valley of the Tunuuugwant, near tho State line; hence the average elevation of these table lands is about 1500 feet above Lake Erie, and 2100 feet above tide water. From 250 to 450 feet of the most elevated portion consists of the coal-measures, including mill-stone grit and conglomerate. The main bed of coal of Bradford, Lafayette and Corydon townships lies from 50 to 100 feet below the general level of the table lands, and underlies a conglom erate, or pebbly, sandstone, being from 30 to 0 feet below It. The gen eral dip of tho coal-measures is a little west of south, and they contain at least four good workable beds, lettered A, E, G and L. The lowest of these, A, known as the ''Splint Vein," av erages four feet in thickness, covered generally by eleven feet of bituminous shales, upon which reposes 30 to 60 feet of sandstone, the lower 12 to 20 feet of which contains pebbles. The E coal is about 101 feet above the A, and has, a short 'distunce below it, about 25 feet in thickness of sandstone, with small pebbles. The E bed con tains both Bituminous aud Cannel coal; the Bituminous part is a bright, hard coal. On a trial made by. the Manhattan Gas Company, of New York, one ton of 2000 lbs, of the Can nel part of this lied yielded 9091 feet of gas, and 44 bushels of coke, weighing 15AJ lbs. This coal seems to be vafia- ble, in the proportion aud quality of the two varieties, and has sometimes clay or slaty partings. At one local! ty the bed, was as follows ; FEET. IN. Bituminous coal, . Clay parting, Cannel coal, , . , 1 Black shale, or slaty Cannel, Bright Bituminous coal, 1 Clay parting, Bright Bituminous coal Totul thkknes. , At another location in was as fol lows: Bituminous coal, . . . . 1 ft. 4 in Cannel coal 1 " 0 " Clay pari ing 2 " Bright Bituminous coal, . 3 " 0 " Total thickness, 8 3 At another location it was as fol lows : Bituminous coal, .... 2 ft. 0 in Cannel coal 2 " 0 ' Clay parting, . . . . ; 3 " Bituminous coal, ... 1 " 4 " " The G coal lies about 3-5 feet above the E bed ; it Is about five feet In thick ness, aud well adapted for making gas. The L coal lies about 155 feet above the G Ded ; it Is about 5 feet thick, and underliesonly a small area." " Taking the total area of workable coals, there will bo 27,800 acres, which will yield, at a low estimate, 141,215,000 tons of coal from all the various beds.'1 ' The following Is a table of analyses of coal from this and other localities : H 3- i D 2,3 r." 3 2 S. g? c C r 2 ! p : s i 2 M'Kean A bed, EbcJf Cannel.

In conclusion, he says: "Buffalo possesses facilities for the sale and dis tribution of coal and manufactures un surpassed by any other city in the country, and must be the great point for the distribution of the Tunung want coal. The debarkation of the cargoes of all the steamboats and pro pellersat Buffalo, renders it desirable that they supply themselves witli fuel at this place, rather than turn aside for that purpose to Erie or Cleveland, The upward freight of vessels from Buffalo to the western ports bears so small a proportion to the downward freight that vessels are compelled to purchase sand for ballast on their out ward trips. It is evident that if coal could beobtaincdat Buffalo as cheaply as at Cleveland or Erie, these vessels would purchase coal for supplying all the lake ports having commercial in tercourse with Buffalo. The amount of Bituminous coal now consumed in Buffalo, and by tho steam vessels run ning from thence, is reported to he not less than 250,000 tons annually." On reaching the south line of war rant 2241, the line of the railway, con tinuing southerly, enters warrant 2409. This is in the northeast corner of a body of laud which has been des ignated as the " Howard Hill Region," comprising warrants 2409, 2009, 2005, 20G5, 2003, 2703, 2090, 2071, 2089, 2091, 2607, 2038, 2000, 200(1, 2692 and 2088, containing 10,800 acres of laud. The following is compiled from a report, dated Dec. 0, 1850, to the McKean and Elk Lund and Improvement Co., of examinations made by August F. Dal son : " The lands of the Company, an area of upwards of 130,000 acres in all, are situated within the northernmost coul fields of Pennsylvania, and con sist of a plateau 2,000 feet above tide water, furrowed by many streams, which form deep valleys and ravines, thereby sensibly modifying tho char acter of a plateau ; the most important streams being the Kenzua, Tionesta and Marvin creek. With tho excep tion of some settlements on Marvin creek and along tho road between Smethport and Ridgway, the whole country Is one continuous forest, bear ing an inexhaustible supply of valua ble timber hemlock is abundantalong all the water courses. Warrants 2591, 2323 and 2487 may be degisnated as a pine country ; and three cherry groves, each covering upwards of 100 acres, have been pointed out one of these in warrants 8121, 8127, and on east, con taining excellent timber. The Geologi cal survey was confined to the 10 war rants, above named, designated as the "Howard Hill Region," upwards of 00 shafts were dug, varying from 0 to 20 feet in depth, and 8 distinct veins of coal were, found, of which, however, 4 appear too thin for mining. The veins of iron ore and coal are des ignated by the numbers 1, 2, 3, &c, beginning with No. 1, at the bottom of the section, it being a vein of iron ore five feet in thickness. About 70 feet above the iron ore bed, called No. 1, is a bed of splint coal 4 feet in thickness, which is designated, on the section, as No. 3. This is the lowest vein of coal, and . correspondents in position and thickness with the "A" vein found north of the Kiuzuu. It consists of a splint coal of superior, quality re posing on compact sandstone. The vein was opened near tho center of warrant 2089, and found to measure as follows : f Splint coal, . . 9 in. Clay, ) 3 ft. Sin. Coul, ... 20 " Clay, I .Splint coal, . . 13J " In computing the total amount of coal iu this area, this vein is assumed to averuge 4 feet in thickness, to underlie 11,890 acres, ond to contain 70,000,000 cubic yards of coul, each cubic yard weighiug about one ton. No. 10 is the next importaut coaj vein. In the section it is placed 132 feet above the splint vein No. 3. It is named the Bond Vein, t wingto u drift into it on the property of Mr. Bond, north of the Kenzua. It is assumed to average five feet In the thickness, to underlie 700 acres, and to contain 5, 000,000 cubic yards. In tho north western part of warrant 2003, it is made up as follows : Coal slate, . . 3 inches Bright Bitm'scottl 4 " Bituminous coal 11 " Slate and clay, .17 " Coal and slate, . 32 " Bright Bitru's coal 5 " 0 ft 6. in About one-half mile northeasterly from that point, In warrant 200-5, it measures: Bituminous coal, 81 J in. Slate, 21J " Bituminous coal, . 20 " 9 ft. 6 in. Slate 2n Bituminous coal, 10 No. 12 coal Is about 40 feet above No. 10, and where opened in the northern part of warrant 2005 meas ures four feet, composed of Bitumin ous coal, with a parting near the cen tre of four Inches in thickness of slate. It underlies 210 acres of land, and con tains 1,350.000 cubic yards of coal Nos. 10 and 12 exist only In warrants 2703, 2003, 2005 and 2005. It so hap pens that the elevated ground in the centre of the "Howard Hill Section" is formed by an anticlinal axis, which raises the lower coal mens' measures up to the very summit of the ridge. Both northward and south ward from this ridge the strata fall off or dip so as soon to admit the upper measures even into hills of lower level than the Howard Hill summit. This accounts for the presence of coal Nos, 10 and 12 towards the northeastern corner of tins land, and the presence of one additional bed at Lafayette, which overlies No. 12. The level of the country at the head of Johnson's run was carefully ascertained to be about 300 feet lower than the summit of Howard Hill ; yet about the springs of Johnson's run several coal beds have been discovered which, apparently, belong to the uppermost measures of the whole region. Even the stratum of upper limestone for which all parts of Howard Hill arc (geologically) too low, Is found here. The inference seems justified that in all tho high grounds in the southern and south western parts of the estate the coal beds are most likely to be found su perior to those ot Howard lull in re gard both to number and thickness for tills coal basin vanishes entirely a few miles north of the Kenzua, which is tantamount to an increase of meas ures southward. Tho total amount o coal in this section is estimated 92,925,000 cubic yards, or tons, all which can find an outlet to Buffalo by means of the Tunaiiguant railroad whieli is now being constructed."
