Oar state legislature has been in

that will result in one copper’s worth
of gowd«te the ' people. Had they
passed wsimple resolution discharging
the little army of idle pasters and fol-
ders, who have had nothing to do, as
there were no public documents for
them to do up, the people might think
that there was a sprinkling of honesty
and economy leit in our radical ser-
vants at, Harrisburg, Dut they have
shown .a disposition of an entirely op-

ever before received, notwithstanding
there has not been one days work for
them, during this session. The num-

last year the radical legislatura added
one third to their number. This win-

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,

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

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

A few days ago Senator Wilson, in
| conversation with Judge Thurman, re-
marked, by way of a pleasant joke, that
as there were no vacant seats on tho re-
publican side of the chamber, they had
concluded togive Revels a desk next to him
(Thurman). Wilson thought the Judge
would enter a serious protest, but he didn't.
He jumped ut once toa practical view of
the matter, and in turn replied:
“All right; put him next to me, and 1
will have him voting withthe democrats on
every question that comes up’ in less than
a week."
Wilson didn’t laugh any more, and Rev-
els was not seated next to Thurman. The
radicals took him to their own side, evi-
dently regarding him as a tender Lumb of
the flock, in need ota little nursing. — Mack.

—At an Indiana divorce cuse, the prin-
cipals were madcto relate the Jcourse of
their married life, and while recounting
how happily they used to live they began
to weep. The Judge followed suit, the
audience joined in, and the court-room
fluttered with handkerchiefs. When the
emotion was somewhat under control’ the
sobbing Judge suggested te the husband
and wife the propriety of trying married life
once more. With a few more tears, they
put up their handkerchiefs, left court and
went home together.
