PreasanrviLLy, Pa, Mar. 4, '70, Lditor Reporter = Agrecably to promise Lxit mysel{ down to give your reaclers a deseription of a portion of | the oil region, wherein I have been | chasing that giddy jade, fortune, for some time past, with but indifferent | SUCCESS, | Pleasantville, so called, is situated | in the northern part of Venango coun- ty, Pa. 6 miles'south east of Titusville, Land 25 miles north east from Franklin, | | - it received its name from its location in an undulating region, which, when | stripped of its forests, seems to have been touched by the pencil of nature |in imitation of these rolling prairies of { the west, | The history of Pleasantville dates | back half a century, at a time when the pioneer landing at Erie, could only learn of the natives in reference | Alleghenies; that it was divided into the French creek, Oil creek, and Pit hole enuntries, about that time a Mr. N w York—came here and took up some four hundred acres of land which was then owned by the Holland Land Company, gave the place its pres:nt pame and shortly afterward became the local agent for that extensive land company. He started several pursuits of indistry and always believed that eventually this would be the most weaithy part of Pennsylvania; his days were happily prolonged until after Drake's oil discoveries, realizing the beginning of his early prognostications. Pleasantville was incorporated as a borough in 1849 with a population of 200 inhabitants, in 1863 it could boast of 400 all told—quiet, inoffensive, so- dreaming that the Magic Lamp of Alladin was concealed beneath them, goon to blaze forth, transforming tat- ters into tassels, and tinsel into gold. The first effort made to develope the resources of this region, was made in the spring of 1885 by a Mr. Nettleton, who succeeded in forming a company who put down a well some eight hun- dred feet and struck a fifteen barrel pumping well. This cansed a sensa- tion so flattering. People besame ag- itnted, nervous and wondered if’ they had ever occupied as bumble a position | in society as their less fortunate neigh- bors. The Netticton well, as a ‘matter by some fatality none of them sueceed- ed in getting oil in paying quantities. Hard times came on, partly owing to the failure of Culver & Co,, taking out of the county some $4,000,030. ' oil and bad luck in getting it, put a | quietus to the excitement, a sedative to their nerves, and a check to the abortive and futile effort to deliver Oleum, the child of Destiny, from the womb of nature. Thus ended the oil excitement in this place till the spring of 1868 when a Mr. A. James, a spir- itualist, becaine impressed with the conviction that within the borough limits there was an abundance of oil, and governed himself accordingly in the location of what was known as the Harmonial well No. 1. He produced in a short time a 70 barrel well which shortly afterwards commenced flowing and flowed for about four months, when they had te resort to pumping again. He located other wells with similar success, Hundreds flocked to see him ; some to win his influence, and many for curiosity. This unpreceden- ted streak of luck soon awakened a lively interest in the minds of capital- ists in the adjoining districts; Fabu- lous stories were told in reference to the quantity of oil produced. A fifty barrel well was easily represented by interested parties to be preducing one hundred barrels of oil per day. These larger wells flowing only in the imag- ination of land owners and speculators, produced an excitement that baffles description. For three or four months the multitudes of of people on the streets presented the appearance of a political mass meeting. Private houses, barns, engine houses, &c., were throng- ed at night with lodgers, while hudreds, returned each night to Titusville and other towns for accommodations. So many wells were put down in such close proximity to each other, that, at the present time, it has had a tendency to lessen the amount of production greatly. A great number of derricks have been torn down and operators are now testing the adjoining Jterritory with considerable success, therby open- ing up a new oil field embracing a ra- dius of ten miles. The oil belt, so far as has been tested, seems to be about a mile wide and six or seven miles in length, running ina N. E. and 8. W. direction, leaving the principal part of the town on the north of the belt. At the S, W. end is located the National wells on land owned by the National Oil Company, which were put down three years ago and are sill doing well ; a little further down is what is calied the “red hot district,” owned principally by Mr. Persons. This is excellent oil territory and a great deal of excitement prevails there at the present writing, in consequence of some very heavy oii strikes having recently been made there. Passing in a N. E. direction, we come across the Brown, Fertig & Holbrock, on the west end of which are some small wells, we then come to the Davies, Holbrook, Hink- ly, and Armstrong farms, all of which ave producing oil.” In our travels S. E. we cross the Clark farm; this is eon- sidered good territory und thus far no dry boleshave as yet been found, N. E. we cross the Porter and Brown track of land, which have proved pro- ductive. N. IL of this the farms are not so thoroughly tested, but probabiy will be shortly as far as Nailshurgh, a beautiful little town stout four miles distant—ncrth of us—about the same distance at Enterprise. They age also testing the country thoroughly which will determine the direction the oil belt takes from this place. *T'he num- ber of wells and amount of oil pro- duced, hus been a subject of investiga tion requiring more time aud labor than I have been able to accord to the matter, - Petroleura, of course, has been, and is, the all absorbing subject of interest to the neglect.of everything that does not directly tend to the ac quirement of wealth. Our public in- stitutions have no particular claim for eulogy, or cause for cansure, and rank neither above nor below mediocris ty. " In concluding this sketch of Pleas autville I would say of it: Unlike most towns built up under oil excite- ment, with a floating population, where speculators, sharpers, blacklegs, busi- ness men, profligates, prostitutes, and paupers constitute the motley mass, this place has held its equilibrium and maintained the eredit of its morality, sobriety and virtue ; where riots, incen- diarism and midnight assassins are un- known, save in the history of other yl aces. For this the need of praise must be awarded to a thorough, intelligent, church and school sustaining commu. nity, an efficient corpse of municipal officers and police force, u faithful and vigilant body of Good Templers, and the fraternal associations, working in harmony to secure one common end, “The good of mankind.” J. B. F, 00 get A Bank Entered at Mid-day b Thieves—Twelve Thousand Dol- lars Stolen. Of all the bold bank robberies of which we have seen any account, that one yesterday, at the Farmers and Me- chanics’ Bank, of East Birmingham, was certainly the boldest, Between the hours of twelve and one o'clock a buggy Containing three men was driv- en up to the bank, when it halted aud two of the ocupants alighted and enter- ed the banking room. The cashier, who was the onty person present, had gone into the Directors room which is | immediately in the rear of the bank- | ing" room, for the purpose of taking his | noonday lunch. The men glided noise- lessly across the floor of the front room and upon reaching the door leading to the Directors’ suddenly closed it and ‘The man then hast- ily gathered up the money from the counter, some twelve thousand dollars, | and placing it in a basket, decamped | with their booty, and were soon seated in their buggy. The cashier was wot idle during this | time, however, He promptly burst open the door, and succeeded in reach- ing the street about the time the rob- bers had started their vehicle. The | bank officer pursued them so rapidiy as to overtake the horse and seize the reins before the animal had taken twenty steps. Notwithstanding he was menaced by the scoundrels, the cashier valiantly retained his grasp of the reins until two of the robbers—une of them carrying the basket contain ing the money—jumpad out and seam. pered away in the direction of Orms- by borough. Then the cashier let the horse go aud gave his who e attention to the fellow who had the basket. The pursuit was so close that the thieves found it necessary te take ref uge in a house on Harmony street, East Birmingham, a short distance up the hill, occupied by, a Mrs. Davis. The cashier by this time had been joined by others in the vigorous pur- suit, and the house was at once invaded by a strong party. Two of the rob money. The money was carried back to the bank, when the officers proceded to balance their cash, After counting and balancing, it was found that the bank had recovered $12.02 more thau it had lost. This amount is supposed to belong to the robbers.— Pittsburg Post. n— rims ais From Ohio.

Dry goods men tell me they never saw the market so excited as it is by this war between the two great houses. Both parties are selling at prices that are absolutely ruinous. Trade was so disturbed yes- terday by their operations that the agents of the different mills held a meeting and decided not to sell to any one except at a certain fixed price Stewart had been selling some linens fur below the agents’ prices (losing a to steady the market by giving notice that they would not sell to any man who attempted to undersell then. tions, however and the excitement is rising to a fever.
