and the atmosphere free from deieterious

bear the same description of the indica

variation; that would be more sun
shine and more thunder showers, but
the nights growing longer will counter
act the beat of the sun from triumobing

HMAY, TULY 16, 1869,,
'he'Y9o this Week,
referring to oil - operations, in Forest
county, Gaya:
The excitement of a few days ago with
regard to oil, stimulated by the develop
menta on Jamieson flats, which resulted
in a producing and paying well, has not
abated by any i means, neither has time,
datnpened thwardor, or slackened the
faith of the knowing ones with regard to
the great merits of the oil fields of this.
portion of the Allegheny Talley. Men
whose knowledge of oil districts is un
limited, who have labored in other oil
fields, and are veterans In the bind,
ness, having operated on Oil Creeek,
at Pleasantville, Shamburg and Scrub
:grass, take leases' after examining
the land. This much is encouraging
to the people, while' at tie same time
they claim, rightly we beeve, that it is
promising, and that the fields will prove
profitable to those who Operate. The
territory leased- has never been tested.
There is a long space between the mouth
of Tubbs'. Run -and Tionesta Creek
which has never been tried cr developed
—save one welt — put down during the
' early days of the oil, excitement in ,1882,
We have been Wormed, atid - Whieh stood
near the brickyard, on the river bank.
The operationi at this well were, con
ducted in rather a primitive manner, by.
a pole "Jumped down" one hundred and.
sixty feet, and pum ped , a short timeivith
a hand pump, and 'even' under snob
,treatment as this gave signs of;promise.
' On the Opposite side of the river from
the leases• above noticed, -and on the
Jsxnleson Farpao,near the - Itew well, now
prodcleing we heal:
of the following - leases: Four lessee Of
five acres each, to Dunham Jr Co.,
,saiilW
partY that drilled the producing Well 4
Lease to Fisher Bros., of 011 City, of live
acres, one-fourth royalty. Mr. Jamieson,-
therproprietor of the farm on which the
producirtg*ell is situated, is defermin
ed to permit only one well on every five
acres, believing that the wells will lait
longer, and produce better, than if drill
ed On everrwicre. _We think all 'oil ter
ritory would last longer if this course
was pursued by the landholders. Messrs.
Hunter & Roberts hive got their derrict
up•at the mouth of Hunter's Run, oppo
site this borough, and will commence
boring immediately. ,
The prospects in this region are en
couraging, and we believe that develop
ments now about to be commenced will
demonstratelhe fact that Forest county
is within the 'roil belt." Ever since the
developments, at Strambnrg, the - derricks
have been marching, parallel after paral
lel, from that point towards the Alle
gheny rtver. A few weeks ago a well
was struck on the bead -waters of West
Hickory, in the edge of this county, and
a number of wells are producing there,
and many more going down, and the tide
is still moving down that stream towards
the river. The well on the Allegheny
river, near this place, will create;ccrnti
dance among operators, and we shall
see derricks springing up around us and
shall have the river territory developed.
We tiara faith to believe that the result
will be favorable. • -
A. Parker's Landing correspondent
writes on the 25th ult., as follows : There
are now in this vicinity twenty-five pro
ducing wells, making three hundred and
ten barrels of oil daily; seventeen wells
drilling and twenty-two wells rigging—
alxty-four .in all: the excitement is be
crowing greater every day;euid new en
terprises are of daily occurrence. The
four new wells tested the beginning of
the present month are the beet here--
producing SS follows: Allegheny well,
iorty barreicc.Pittaburgh and Parker's
Landing, thirty barrels: Bark House,
twenty-Jive barrels, and Peerless, twenty
barrels each daily. The Graham Land
ing well on the east aide of the Alle
gheny river, tested- this week, is going
ten barrels per day and improving. A
torpdo was inserted In the Pittsburgh,
and Tam's Run No. 1 well this week,
and Improved it from a thirteen barrel
well to twenty-five 4.barrels daily. The
Red Bank well, two bionths ago only fILT:
barrels, is to-day twenty barrels. Two
of the wells tested this month are small
brit paying expenses and improving: no
dry holes.
.
' At Shamburg yesterday, the O'Hara
and McFarland well, fin the Skuunburg
property, struck a fine vein of green oil,
and was, at latest accounts , pumping
two hundred and fifty barrels per day.
In explaining several heavy errors
which appeared in its last monthly re
port, the Titusville,-herald says:
We are unable to present in this igen°
,the revised shipments from the region
'during June, as we have notyetobtalned
accurately the shipment to Cleveland by
the A. it G.. W. Railway from Olt City,
but , what wa have learned goes to confirm
the estimate of that shipment given by
us yesterday. i
In collecting the shipments from Oil .
City by the 'above mentioned route, we,
as usual; took them from the agent's
book, which purported to contain the
total shipment for each day both to New
York and Cleveland, We copied the
shipment, and after deduc ting 80 car loads
of 80 barrels each, which .the agent in
formed us was previously reported, and
'reducing the remahider to barrels of forty
Ave gallons each, (we have been harm

Ells' Theta* seemed to be nothing
traordinary in the isectu, ence • itself; but
the Subsequent, effects .were somewhat
peculiar. The recipient, who smiled
with satisfaction as he glanced at the

scarcely turned away from the win-
dow when he was accosted by an
uniformed city official, who exhibi
ted a small slip of paper 'requiring
his Immediate presence at the Alle
gheny Mayor's office. The surprised
youth at first seemed to be at a loss to
understand the strange proceeding, but
his perceptions > were quickened when,
informed by the oft:Lola of certain cit.'
.ctimstances connected with his present
detention, requiting an explanation
which he alone oonid give. He went
quietly along, therefore, and at the May.
or's office was made arquainted with the
following facts : Abet& four days before,
a'_young lady connected with
one' of . thts sheet* respectabici•
tam-
Wed •Of Allegheny and moving in the*
highest' drabs,' received 'a note' post
marked Pittsburgh... Enclosed. were eira•
cigars giving the names of a large tram ,
bee ofobacene publications, accompanied
by an explanatory .statsment , from the
Unknown cxirrespOdent,.Whoclaimed to
be _a lady 'to theeffect that Abe watt an
agent for tie sale attics hal% and had
been " informed by a ''. friend that,
possibly,- the • recipient of - the - tote
Might WM— io"-. =lce' ' a ptuthaatt.
The young lady• intniediatelYttildblted
the •commufficistion -to her father:who,
fired with wrath, r. at. once visited
the Allegheny Mayor's office and insti
tuted measures 'to. detect the writer.
Chief Bowden manipulated the affair and
did it well. •He first wrote a reply and
placed it in the Pittsburgh office, ad
dressed to Mias F. A. Bile. [the signa
ture to' the note], at the same time ac
quainting the Postmaster of the circum
stances. An officer was then stationed
on guard in the vicinity, and, a ft er ro
maining for several days, was rewarded
by the apprehension of the young man,
as stated. • • •
The youth at first seemed abashed at
the suspicions which, caused his arrest,
but nevertheicsa stoutly maintained that
be knew nothing at:l of the facts, as
related to him. His' exceeding dullness
of comprehension; ho ever,
,wasquickly
dissipated when the Mayor was atxint to
send hint to the tombs to await a hearing;
on , the' "charge preferred• against him,
and he forthwith - acknowledged to writ
ing theknoteg but claimed it to be • , only
ajoke." Hehad seen a nate! the bottka
in a newSpaper, and 'in a spirit of
faeetiottemeati* - had written for a
catalogue. Whin this was received in
the same pseatliarly humorous spirit he
had selected *a few of the oddest names,
wrote the note and forwarded _the psis
sive which had been received by the
young lady. He meant no harm though.
Did not not know , the character of the
books. and we:foray amused and led in
to the perpetration of thq joke by the
oddness of the nandiss. This was his
statement, which he delivered with an
air of injured innocancoAnd with be
t:timing gravity.- Unitittlinatelv, the
magistrate failed to understand the fun
ny part of thejoke, but "seemed incline&
to view ;it as a rather • serious mat.
ter. The •more •.tiet,,, reflected - upon
it the leas he saw . to.llstigh at
and finally to gain time 'for farther con
sideration he requiredthe young joker
to give bail in the sum Cif SSW fora hear
ing next Monday on • a charge of selling
and circulating ""indecent publications.,
He is a young man, connected with one
of the best and wealthiest fa:Silica of Al
legheny, and has.:heretofore borne a
good reputation, none of his acquaint
ances or mostindmate companion's ever
having anspescted him : of such chronic
wit or humor, as his statement would in
fficate. Monday, however, will perhaps
throw additional lighttipon • this charms.
tensile of his nature, and in the mean

result of the-lpreasnt attempt, he will
doubtless be more °Arafat in his jokes.
