How Coaurbartme vise Bwintmen.—The
story of the Comptenter Indians has already
appeared in print, but there is one point
about the case which shows how the abor.
gibed were wronged. Cernplanter bad re•
calved some fif een hundred nitres of laud
front the Side, Wog upon the Allegheny
:river, and including the present town of Oil
city, and about the year 1800 sold it to &spec
u'ator for two' hundred and eighty dollars.
The purchaser imposed upon the Indian by
giving him two hundred dollars in counterfeit
titles, but Coruplanter did not discover this
until he had surrendered his deed. When be
found that be bad been duped, he demanded
.his dfed, and returned the two hundred and
eighty dollars, and con►idered that the whole
transaction was at an end, and that he was
again peesesser of the lsnd. But the pur
chaser, who was evidently a lawyer, bad re
corded the deed before it was returned to Corn
plsnter, who ef course knew nothing of the
trick, and who thus lost the land and the good
and counterfeit money. Tho transaction was
far from creditable to the white party con
cerned,.and it would be a matter of publio in-
terest to know who be was. •
We understand that a movement is en foot
for the publioatien of a second daily news—
Taper in Erie. We would be glad to welcome
a competitor,, and would not iris?' at all to
see a party in the field supplied' with a good
more of “stainps," energy and honorable en
terpriss. We advise them, believer, to get
their lives and pockets insured —Dispatch.
We have been applied to at lust a dozen
times a day since the above appeared, to know
if it be correct, as reported about town, that
the second daily " spokes of is to be issued
from the Observer dike. To all such ques
tions we answer, thetas we have net yet gone
crazy, and, have no desire to lose what we
have thus far accumulated, it is net likely we
shall invest any stock in as attempt to start
a new daily at present. An indertaking of
that sort will involve a loss if $lO,OOO at the
lowest calculatioa before it MI begin to be
made profitable, if ever. In the course of a
few years, when the city grows more popu
lous and wealthy, a field may be open for an-
other daily, bat even thee, unless it is well
backed by money, and owned by parties who
can afford to tome thousands temporarily,
its chances of sucoess must be exceedingly
dubious.
Auuszweirs.—Our citizens will have so
cause to complain of a lack •f amusements,
during the present month. On the ad inst.,
Mr. Clark, the vocalist, is to wive a concert
in Farrar Hall, in lieu of the engagement be
■as prevented from fulfilling, by accident, a
couple weeks ago. The favorable impression
he made on his first visit will ensure him a
larger attendance than before. Of minstrel
performances we are to have two—Skiff t
Gaylord's on the 6th, and Wood's on the 7th.
If we are to judge the latter by their copious
and splendidly illuminated posters, the con—
cert will be a "big thing " The ball of Perry
Fire Company will be held on the 13th, and
the popularity of this favorite organization
assures us that it will be one of the most
largely attended dances of the Season. On
the 15th Murphy's Dramatic Troupe will open
an •ngagement for nine nights, with a well
selected corps of actors.

At a late Penton meeting in Buffalo, the
President of the evening was A. M. Clapp.

Irish more than any half dozen persons along

It is gratifying to see that the Gemara meat,

other offices of profit, shall be given into the
hands of the war worn veterans. It is not
right that theist who have fought Wane"

The vigilance committee at Titusville con

We nodetstand that the office of the Gene

The Warren Ledger says on Monday of lad

Oa every street substantial new edifices are
going up with extreme rapidity, many of then
being of a character that reflects credit upon

fectly safe estimate to say that not less than
three hundred new buildings have betn erected
or put in coarse of construction since the lst
of January, 1865; and this number will bo
fully equalled,. if not surpassed, during the
coming' season. Despite the predictions cf
croakers, and the diseouragements of some
of our own people, Brie is progressing with
a substantial growth that is excelled•by no
