We liave before us the monthly report I
of Ahe.petroletim business of the Penn
sylvania oil regions,„arranged and com
piled for that valuable authority on such
mattera, the Titusville Herald. - From it
we. .learn that the, average daily yield
from the wells in January was ten thous
and one hundred and ninety-two barrels,
an increase of four hundred and fifty bar
rels per diem; over December.
.
,Nea the confluence of ; Lower Cherry
Run with Oil Creek, on - Charley Run,
near Oil . CAN. on .Bull Run and in the
Pleasantville district, eight wells were,.
sirtick, the yields of which ranged from
fifty to -one hundred and twenty-five
barrels per day-, Other. wells, • vlth., less
l imPortant producing• caracities, were
.found in different parts of the region.
From'the last named , districts the •• 'ship
ments to 'Titusville, pithole and Miller by
two pipe transportation lines, and-to
Titusville by teams during the month,
„
reached an aggregate ofseventy-six thou--
sand barrels, but as the stock at the wells
was reduced nine thousand barrels, the
total product for . the month was platy
.
seven thousand barrels— an average for
thirty-onfidays of two thoukand one hun
dred and sixty-ate barrels. The produc
tion of Church Run and the wells in the
immediate vicinity by the receipts by pipe
line,and tennis at Titusville, and the dif
ference in stocks;; reached' an 'average of
,five harstind barrels per day for the
The total number of wells - completed
during the month was about fifty-three;
of which thirtY-tive were located in the
Pleasane district, one at Tidiont,e,
and of the remaining seventeen, most
were located elong Oil Creek, st !ham
burg and'near Oil City—only three hav
ing been completed siOng the river south
.of *no. Of the filly-three Wells com-
pleted, fully,forty.t,wo, and possibly more,
from. till 11131fieltrabols,,proved Peculiarly
successful.
The most impertatt feature connected
with the development, la the large de
crease in the number of wells being drilr
.ed. The total number on Fkignar.rlett
was three hundred end fortyacatei against
-three hmtdred. mul seventy-three on the

Consolidation of . Army Bureaus.
Secretary Schofield; before the House
Military Committee, was decidedly in fa
vor of making one bureau of the Quarter
master's, Commissary, and Pay Depart
merits, another of Ordnance, land Artille
ry, and a third of Engineering and Sur
vey:ng. He said the necessary 'work of
the Department could be much more ex
peditiously. and. efficiently done with , a
few heads of bureaus than when. It was
obliged to pass under several. • He argued
at some length in favor of a consolidation
of the War and Navy Departments, pia
cing both under one Secretary, end pio
vichng that the Admiral should command
the navy, and the General the army. He
supported his views in a manner to call
Font very warm' commendations from the ,
Committee. He was also asked for; his
views about the proposed also;
of -the
Indian Harems to the. War Department.
He was strongly in favor of the change,
and said. he felt certain that snore than any
one else officers and soldiers who fought
the Indians were in fayor of always main
taining peace with them When it was pos..'
Bible. There was no honor to be gained,
and the hardshipi;:were very great He
said the War Department had paid out
'more in the past year for fighting Indians
than it would cost to feed them ' for five
years, And thought the,Way to prevent
war next bummer was to feed the 'lndians
this winter. 'The Secretary was also in
ravor of abolishing brevets, and the Cout
mittee will probably recommend that this
be done. .
The Deatn Penalty at Cleveland.
Davis, the murderer of Skinner; was
hung at'noon of the 4th. He came upon
the scaffold without emotion, neatly
dressed. The Sheriff asked if he had any
thing to say. He replied lib; and he said
not; another' Word. Episcopal praYers
were read by Rev. Mr. Washhurne, of
Grace Church. He Was firm and .pos
seined throughout. He died in eleven
minutes, after a few struggles. , His neck
was broken by the fall.. About one hun
dred people witnessed the :execution.
There is a general acquiescence in the jug- ,
tice of the punishment, and there is much
speculation, as to the fate of „the three ac
compliees now awaiting trial.

These ladles were aided by many vol
unteers, among whom the Moses 111°'
. -
Cormick, the Misers McWhinney Miss
Johnson, Miss Lindsay; Mrs. Williams
and others were conspicuous Under
such auspices the enterprise could not
fail of success. We were not present on
Thursday evening, but learn that the at
tepdance was very large and the enter
tafnment faultless in all its ' appoint
; ments, Last evening we were
among the grateful host of visitors.
Four tables arranged across the spa
cious rocim, covered with snow-white
linen mid groaning under their
loads of various luxuries, regaled the eye
and tempted the appetite. Three of these
tables were each decorated by a candy
pyratnid, besides several gigantic and
highly ornate fruit and jelly cakes from
the shop of f3elmon, the well known ba
ker and confectioner. ,The foarth table,
however, seemed ,tehe the pride of the
set. Among the adafitttents of 'this ta-•
ble a large cake,, beintlfaily frosted,
with the letters- : 1 13;_ U. P. Ch . ." and
another inscribed "Rev. J. B. Clark, Di
D.," with frosted wreath of vine and
Austere of grapes, attracted atten
tion. but the chieffeature was a gorgeous '
pyramid consisting of macaroni center,
illuminated candy surrorthdings in dell= .
date tracery, and artistically draped with
frosted sugar, representinz a,as , ade of
'crystal waters. 'These were handi
work of Richter, the' popular confec
tioner in the Diamond. We suppose
Mrs. Parker and Miss Lookhartwho
have charge of. this, table, will be allowed
the palm of superiority in the friendly
rivalry between the committee . But
only in profusion and elegan 'o f orna
mentation, as, in all things els , the ta
bles were equally creditable. '
On Friday evening; as on Thursday,
the number whojoined in the festivities
was about four hundred. It was si beau
tiful sight to behold so many of the most
reepectdble citiz ens ,: women men and
children, all in lioliday dress, all with
Pleased countenances, happy in the hour
of delightful re-union, happy in , the am=
pie and varied repast, happy in promo
ting the landablfi_objeet in band, and es
pecially happy in the success ;achieved
by the ladies in gathering the Means to
accomplish that object. • . '
The entertainment w t olosed by the
sale at auction of, the pyramids and
cakes that retrained : after the feast. :Mr.
Leggate conducted' the sale with More
than his usual ingenuitY and tact, daw3-
ing an episode of real jolly fan, by first
selling to some bidder for 4dollat or two
a basket oforanges or slices of jelly,
cake, and then". throwing, t h em to the
crowd, thus engaging the juveniles in a
laughablelieramble fot. the golden fruit
or toothsome cakes. The struggle and
strife were only 'smarting, not, rough or
violent'. ,
Altogether the' ,
festival was very en- .
jeyable,, and we trust the promeds rea l ;
lized for its laudable Object may bear
fall proportion to the 'pleasure afforded
'lose who attended.
