Making yearly income of $l,935,OO0
This is thought by those who are acquaint-
ed with this locality, to be a moderate estl-
mate, and yet it is easy to see that even this
amount of success would make the property
of the Company in value, almost surpass be-
lief
The durability of this immediate oil section
is illustrated by the fact that wells above and
below this property have been pumping over
four years, with a steady yield, and without
any diminution.
A Few PLAIN WORDS TO SUBSCRIBERS.
Subscribers to the stock of this Company
cannot expect 10 receive Immediately large
monthly dividends; if they were able to do
so they could not purchase it for ten times
the amount at which it is offered. But the
basis on which the Company rests, will, it is
believed, make the investment entirely safe,
and, prospectively, of enormous uGtue.
The President, Col. E. w. Davis, formerly
of franklin, Venango County, is well known
as one of the most successful and energetic
business men who have engaged II the Pc
troleum interest and the respectabiliIy I'D
integrity of the other officers and Directors
of the Company, furnish sufficient guaran-
ty that their conduct of the business
of the Company will be entitled to the
confidence and approval of all who may
invest in the enterprise.
| The Directors have determined to sell on
" limited amount of the Capital Stock at
the subscription price of So per share, par
value s., the same being full paid up stock,
not liable to any further assessment, in which
respects the original subscribers, and those
who may now subscribe, stand on precisely
the same footing.

The Presidents Proclamation.

New YORK, May S.-The Times Washing
ton special says: 1t ought to be understood
that the recent proclamation offering a re-
ward for theapprehension of Jefferson Da-
Wis as one of the parties implicated in the
assassination of Mr.. Lincoln, was not issued
by President johnson as his individual act,
or merely upon his personal opinion as to
the guilt of Davis. 1t was issued in per-
suance of the decision of the proper legal
authority. 1t was first unanimously decid-
ed in Cabinet meeting that all parties in any
way connected with the conspiracy should
be tried by a military tribunal, and not by
civil courts. All the testimony relating to
the matter was then placed officially in the
hands of the Judge Advocate General,
Hon. Jos. Holt, who examined it very
carefully and made written report to the
Secretary of War, giving it as his official
opinion that the evidence proved Davis to
have been connected with the conception
and execution of the plot. 1t was upon
this official report that the proclamation
was based. 1t is not to be supposed that
any directand personal action in the matter
can be traced to Davis, butt will be proved
that the conspiracy was framed and prose-
cuted with his knowledge and assent.
