Tee OIL Cass¢ DIBASTIIII.—The accident r the Oil Creek railroad, on Thursday of tveek, resulted in the death of seven pee— _e, the serious wounding of two, and slight 'sages to a number of others.

Letter from Prof. Seeger. - • PAIDDRVILLII, Onto,,Aug. 28, '65. ED. Onsnavas—Dear S.r :—I ' , observe" in the Oherver of last week a very kind notice of the Floral Concerts given by my class in Erie, on the 17th and 18th. for which please accept many thanks, but permit me, very modestly, if you please, to differ with you in regard to the tendency " and influence of Inch exhibitions. Your objection appears to be simply that it "encourages young ladies to make public ex hibitions of themselves." This may be true in the case of one young lady among a hutt;- dred, but my experiente teaches me that only little girls and boys really wish to be made conspicuous—the older members of my classes always preferring subordinate parts, and ac cepting the more prominent ones because they feel an interest in the encodes of the enter tainmact and a desire to see their teacher remunerated. So moth for the possible evil that may arise out of these enterprises, now for the positire good. Taking it for granted that the cultivation of music refines, elevates and ennobles—that the more we loVe it, the happier, the wiser and better we are, we claim first for the Floral Convention and Concerts that they awaken a more wide spread interest in music than any thing else. By giving the people en opportu nity to attend such an entertaMment, and so help pay the cost of instruction, it enables s teacher to place the price of tuition so low that a very_ large number may receive the benefits who.otherwise . could not. • 2d. The .work accomplished by the clags during the': term is twice as great as it would be were there to be no exhibition at the close It it kept oonetantly before the pupils that their psrenta and friends are coming to see what proficiency they have made, and there could be no strocger incentive to labor acd activity. Bd. It gives to many a bashful, awkward girl and boy an ease and grace of manner which are essential to manly and womanly deporttoent. And finally, it opens the way to a more ex— tended field of acquirement for every young lady and gentleman, boy and girl who were member, of that class, and a desire to know more. And they shall be accommodated.— Last winter Erie could not raise a corporal's guard who•were willing to attend a conven tion proposed to be held by Prof. A. N. John. eon, of Boston. and myself For three days I labored faithfully and enn:d not find a dozen persons int ere.ted—but. I am greatly mistaken if we do not find mirth a class this winter as will do credit to Erie and effectually remove the stigma of " possessing the least musical talent of any oily in the Union." Very respectfully yours. It. W. IMAGER. !T C, or LOCAL INTERICST.—Mr. L. S. Wright, of Girard, Is announced as a candidate for County Commissioner.—The Oil City News gives the number of oil com • ponies in existence at 1,457, with a total capital of $869,594,000.—0a Thursday of last week, the Day Express over the Lake Shore road set fire to a large pile of wood at Morian Crossing, ant some 500 cords wore consumed. —.l weak or two ago the steamer Chautauqua took out a party of about 150 parsons from Dunkirk, fn a moonlighrex cnrsion. While up th, lake a dense fig came on and the boat ran upon a sandbar, where she remained all night, the young folks making the best of their stranded position until morning, when thee were put ashore and sent home. The beet got off during the day.—The now celebrated town and stream of Pithole derive their name from "an im mense pit or crater in the top of the moan. tain, at the foot of which the creek enters the Allegheny. The pit has the reputation of being of great depth, but has never been ex plored, owing to the noxious vapor and gases constantly arising from it. It is about twen ty feet in diameter at the month, and a fowl suspended in it will not live a minute, and in fifty-one minutes will become putrid."—The new county project, as we anticipated, is meeting with active opposition in all the papers published . in the looelities most di rectly interested. The Warren Ledger, Corry Telegraph, Warren ,]fait, Oil City Register, Venengo Spectator, and Meadville Journal, all contain articles in opposition to the proposed measure. The Mel thinks the people of Warren county will be neatly unanimous in their desire to " remain as they are."—The papers contain an account of a poor fellow at Cedar Falb, lowa, who hung himself. He bad ten wives, and had been arrested for bigamy. The accounts do not say whether it was the arrest or the number of wives that led to the rash act.—Mr. Hart, of the firm of Burtis, Hart & Co., was robbed of $l,BOO at the depot in Titusville, on Thursday evening. It was also reported that the proprietor of the Bush House was assaulted and robbed on the same evening. Titusville is daily becoming a more pleasant locality to live in.—The Dispatch and Gazette both favor the selection of Mr. M. Et. Barr, as the Republican candidate for the Legislature from this city.—The Oil Creek railroad is now known among oil men by the euphonious and expressive title of " Death's Causeway."—The following cases of pocket picking occurred in this city on Saturday last: W. Stotts, of Waterford, robbed of $160; Mr• Johnson, of Summit township, robbed of be. tween $6OO and $7OO ; Mr. Appleby, of Her bor Creek, $73 ; Mr. Johnson, of Springfield, $l7O, and another gentleman, whose name and residence we did not learn, of $l,lOO —The firemen of the city have adopted a uniform shirt, which is to be furnished to el the companies at the expense of the public That of Perry Company No. 1, will be of red flannel, with black facings and trimming,. The shirts of the other companies will also be of red flannel, but the members of No. 2 will have blue trimming, and facings, and those of the steam fire company white. The mem bers of Perry company will wear a neat navy cap and belt with the name of the company upon it—the caps of the! privates to have silver band around, and those of the officers a gold one. Each fireman will wear • pair of black pantaloons, which he is to furnish him self. The uniform strikes us as rather a pretty one, and we trust when all the comps nies are supplied, they will- turn out in a grand parade, so the people eta see them in their new suits.—The circus which exhibit ed here on Saturday, was attended by an im mense crowd, and the canvass in the evening was so densely crowded that hundreds failed to gain admission. Extensive advertising is the secret of its success. The show bills put out previous to its arrival here were the most attractive ever seen in our community.— The Dispatch, referring to Mr. DeCamp's desire to go to the Legislature, humorously remarks that it supposed he "had concluded to abandon the pursuit of impossibilities." —The pickpockets continue to follow their milling In this locality without detection. Last Week a man named B F. Harris, of Greenfield, N. T., was relieved of $5B at the depot —Engineers, engaged in surveying route for a railroad to connect Franklin, Pa., with the Philadelphia & Erie railroad, have arrived in the former Flace, having surveyed • route of one hundred and thirty-one and halt miles in length, with maximum grade cuts of forty feet per mile, and maximum curves of six degrees, For forty miles they were on a oontinnong coal bed, the number of workable seams from three to the, and vary ing from twenty eight inches to eleven fest in thickness. Balt springs also abound in the region, and iron ore is found in abtid. sue& The survey began at Driftwood, 227 miles from Philadelphia.—Titusville is moving to recurs water works. Erie should not allow herself to fall behind in securing this greatly needed improvement.—Rev. W. P.

Prom thence a horse railroad will be immediately built to Pithole City.—The Downer company are building a hall fir public entertainments at Corry, 40 by 100 fret in size, which they in— tend fitting up in a superior manner.-- - - - The schooner Elm City cleared for Buffalo on Wednesday of last week, lnden - with'coal. Off North East she sprang a_leak,- and put back for this point.. After getting inside the harbor she became filled and went down in the chan nel.—The remarks of the Onsaaysa last week, on the subject of our Post Office annoy arces, have received very gsneral commenda tion. We have no disposition to refer to the matter in any hot a tone of kindness, and trust the much needed improvements will 'be secured without the necessity of any further newspaper allusion. If an energetic effort is made by those whose duty it is to see that the grievances are obviated, we cannot doubt that it will be successful. Whatever is at tempted, we trust will be done speedily.— " Ham " Waters, the noted colored drayman, has become totally blind, and solicits the charity of the public to enable him to procure the services of an experienced °oculist. He appears to be meeting with considerablesuc cm in raising means, and we presume will obtain enough to effect his purpose. ---The correspondent of the Boston Post at Saratoga, gives the following latest fashionable item : I h ire unqualified pleasure in mentioning the fall of the waterfall—a msnstrons inven• tion of the enemy' of beauty, which shined have died at its birth. A rather pretty fash- ion of dressing the hair, which I venture to call the etsple•and ring style, is getting in vogue with the dames, while ringlets for the girls have quite superoeded the ugly•plug abomination wbion wagged behind them, like a beaver's tail, a few weeks ago. Among the really fashionable women yon might as well look for a cataract in the eye as a waterfall at the -back of the head." Well may the Post's correspondent exclaim " Jubilate." The Waterfall "is the ugliest fashion ever in troduced to disfigure womankind, and all sea sible men will rejoice when it is no longer in vogue.—Another comet is soon expected to make its appearance in the heavens, and al— ready attracts the attention of astronomers. It is known as Biela's comet, and was last seen in 1846. Its nearest approach to the earth will be about the end of February, after which it will gradually disappear.—James R. Field, Esq., local editor of the Chicago Journal, was lately made the recipient of a handsome gold watch, at the hands of a num ber of his personal friends. It will be a good many years, we suspect, before any Erie edi— tor receives a similar mark of approval.— The Titusville Herald is incorrect in stating that the Oussaven claims a larger circulation than the daily Dispatch. What we do claim is, that our average circulation exceeds that of any other weekly paper published in this city, a fact which we think none of our oc, temporaries will dispute. We ask foi no credit beyond what we justly deserve.—Ob Saturday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, the. house of Mr. Baker, a clod - . ing merchant, doing business in one of the stores under Brown's lintel, was entered by burglars, and articles to the amount of $BO or $9O stolen from it. The early hoar at which the•robbery was committed, displays a bold nesis on the part of the rascals which is eel. dom exceeded.—The recent accident on the Oil Creek reilroad, • and the apparent indispo sition of the managers of that stupid organi— sation to provide means for the accommoda tion of the public, is causing attention to be again directed to the necessity of building the proposed railroad from Union to Titusville. That the needs of the oil trade imperatively require an additional rod is beyond all ques• Ica, and the wonder to u■ is, that with the immense interests centering at Tiltusville, the business men of that place should hesitate • day about subscribing the comparatively small amount of stock necessary to put the road in operation. --The Coroner's jury se loved to investigate the recent disaster on the Oil Creek railroad, charge conductor Patrick Carey and engineer Joseph Funk with being the cause of the accident. They also censure the general management of the road—a yen diet in which they will be sustained by the unanimous opinion of all who are obliged to patronize it.—Mr. Geo. P. Rea,. of Girard borough, is presented as a candidate for County Commissioner.—The Collector of our port has received instructions from Wash. ibgton to enforce stringently the Federal laws against smuggling.

The gal lery consists of a variety of stereoscop ic pictures, embracing almost every subject that can be imagined. An attractive feature of each evening's grc gramme, will be the microscopic views, in which objects too small almost to be seen with the naked eye, will be portrayed the full size of the canvass.
