The Cob Pipe Factory is running regularly and turning out a superior grado of sinoKo pipes. The proprietors estimate that they have upward of twen ty thousand finished pipes on hand al ready aud when this stock is sufficiently large to warrant them in doing so thoy will put them on tho market and begin shipments to the trade The process of manufacturing this style of pipe is quite interesting to observo,as, before a pipe is finished from the rough cob and ready for shipment it must pass through about 19 hands. 'Squire John Black, acompanied by two other gentlemen, bf Pigoon, was in town last Saturday having tracked a stolon horse and buggy to this place On Friday a horse that had been left iu Landlord Chas.

Clnpp. Friday morning, July 2d, 197, at 12:4") that splendid gentleman, whom every body respected for his sterling honesty, Edwin E. Clapp, died at his home in President, Pa. For days his large circle of frionds hoped against hope that his trouble might take a turn for the bottor, and his useful lifo bo spared yet a num ber of years. Tho following brief sketch of Mr. Clapp Is taken from the Oil City Derrick, and reflects the sentiments of all who know the man Intimately : Edwin Emniett Clapp, one of the most prominent and best known residents of Venango county, and one whose death is a positive and deep-felt loss to tho com munity, died at his home in President shortly bofore 1 o'clock on Friday morn ing of cancer, after an illness of less than a month. The dooeasod had, with the exception of about 111100 years spent at Dubuque, Iowa, been a resident of Penn sylvania since 1832. He was born at V.'atertown, N. Y., October 15, 124, and was tho oldost son of Rev. Ralph and Sally Clapp, formerly of Mlddlefield, Mass., and who removed to Franklin In 1832. They afterwards rosided at Mercer and Meadvillo, whore Edwin with his brother Charles, who died in 1843, at tended tho preparatory schools and en tered Allegheny college On leaving this institution of learning in 1842, he went into the store of his father and uncle at Clinton Furnace, Clarion county. In the spring of 1S46, with his father and family. lie removed to President Furnaco, where, with the exception of between three aud four years noted above, he has since re- lidod. All the years of his young manhood and middle age were given principally to the development and improvement of President township, with which, up to the decline of his health, his name was inseparably connected. In I8I1S he bought tho Henderson and Baker farms and part of the Alcorn farm, noar Tidioute, which ho subsequently de veloped. Tho farms proved to be won dcrfully prolific of oil and repaid him handsomely for the investment. It is said that the Henderson farm production amounted to between four and five hun di ed barrels of oil per day at a time when oil was selling at from $4 to $5 per barrel. In 1870 he purchased the old President furnace property from Now York parties, who had become its owners. Subse, quently he bought the adjoining R. P. Elliott, J. S. Elliott, Harper Griffon and John McCrea farms, and has devoted his entire time aud care to improving and developing this property. Roughly esti mated, Mr. Clapp is tho owner of be tween 14,000 and 15,000 acres of land in President and adjoining townships, much of it valuable oil, gas aud timber land. Mr. Clapp possessed many qualities of mind and heart that made him one of the most notable men of this portion of the State. He was generous and kind, but believed in helping a man to help him self rather than in out of hand charity Many ftories have been told of his integ rity and kindness of heart, and while many could not understand the principle that led him to give work, winter and summer, to the small colony of laborers he had gathered about him at President during the pant 27 years, the recipients ot his bounty did and do appreciate it, and his death is, to President, a dire calamity. For miles in every direction leading through his property are roads such as can scarcely bo duplicated by State work auywhere, every foot made at his own expenso, and he had apparently only be gun this branch of his enterprise. With his death, thore is every reason for the apprehonsion that the work of road building, which has been conducted on such an elaborate scale, and which fur nished work to so many men and teams, will cease. Wealth was, apparently, to him only a trust and none ever better filled the duties of its custodian. He was a simple man, pure in heart, honest as the day is long, and his word once given was as binding upon him as the strongest legal contract. It has beeu said of him that he had but one infirmity, and that was the satisfaction of soeing men at work, woll fed and well paid, the luxury of a liberal mind 1 From one end of the township to the other are to be found monuments to this trait of his character. Although noted for his acts of charity, tbeso were extended with a shyness aud secrecy that was one of the leading traits of the benevolent side of his nature. There is scarcely a township school, but he has assisted in the same quiet and ef fective manner, and to the churches and charitable institutions of the county, ho was a liberal giver, but unostentatious bouolactor. While Mr. Clapp was un doubtedly 0110 of the wealthiest men in this vicinity, he was also one of the most companionable and easily approached lie was an inveterate but harmless joker, with a fund of humor and anecdotes that mado his company a treat and his pres ence welcome at any gathering, social, religious or political. In politics lie was 1111 ardent Republican, as energetic and earnest in working lor the good of his party us any man in the county, but al ways resolutely refused to accept any other than the purely local offices in his own township. Mr. Clapp is survived by one brother, Capt. J. M. Clapp, and two sisters, Mrs, Caroliuo McAllister of Ann Arlior.Mich., and Mrs. Ellen G. McLain of New York. Funeral services, attended by nearly a thousand people, were held al President on Sunday, July 4th, Rovs. F. D. Sutton of President, and A. C. Ellis of Oil City, ollicintiug. Tlio interment took place in Pittsburg Monday following, in Alle gheny cemetery, besido the remains of his father, mother and brother Charles, gone bofore. May he rest iu peace.
