EDITOR LEADER:-Your proof reader made
sad work with my last letter, published in
the LEADER of to day. Some of the typo
graphical errors were too important not to
be corrected. Sugar Creek was printed
"Lyon Creek )" the new we'll upon the
Egbert Farm is printed as being ''seversl
miles" from Maple Shade, instead of rods,
which would make the farm a much larger
one than the Doctor claims ownership of;
the Tionesta region is reported as the "IrOn-
stone ;" well is reported as being nearly
through the "thin sandstone" instead Of
the 'Third sandstone, as it should be- DR..
Egbert is reported to have studied with DR..
Porter Thsyer of Cleveland instead of Proc
tor Thayer and of the new Hickory we'll it
is printed that the first hundred barrels
sold for $50 900, which would put the
oil at the comfortable price Of three hun
dred dollars per barrel. It was written,
the first thousand barrels. Such mistakes
are easy to make but hard to correct, for
they make a correspondence not only
worthless but ridiculous.
Another mistake wss my own, and was
caused by misinformatiOn. 1t was the
Jersey Well, and not the MsPle Shade
which ceased flowing on Tuesday last. My
informant wss misled from the fact that
the two wells are Immediately adjoining.
A new we'll was struck yesterday upon

the United States Petroleum Company. Its
yield is reported all the way from one hun

ARTENus AMONG The MoRNoEs.-It can

proverb, ''savs in his own country and

not surely apply to humorists, for A. Ward

have big audience, on the occasion of the
exhibition of himself and his '1Djuns'"

ACCIDENT TO SCHOoNER.-As the schoon-
er W. G. Whaling was dropping down the
river yesterday morning, about eight
o'clock, without tug, the swiftness of the
current rendered her difficult of ma age
ment, and just above Lighthouse street
bridge her bowsprit ran into large pile of
barrels of salt. on the dock in front of
Begges and sinclair's warehouse. The cur
rent carried the vessel around, her stern
striking against the central pier of the
bridge while her bOwsprit remained fast in
the pile of barrels. The bowsprit was SO
badly injured by the collision that it had to
be cut off, close to her stem.

meeting was well attended, and general
desire was expressed to withdraw the cir
culatiOn of the State banks and substitute
the National currency at the esrliest prac-
ticsble day. After full discussion Of the
subject committee of Col s. B. Dick, of
the Banking House of ]. R. Dick Co.,
Meadyille; W. C. Curry, Cashier of Second
National Bank, of Erie; G. MOsier, of the
First National Bank, Of Meadville; Cyrus
Clarke, of Bank of Lawrence county, and
Hon. C. V. Culver, of Franklin, were aP-
pointed to prepare a plan of action to be
submitted to the meeting.
They made report in the form Of an
agreement, which was unanimously aP-
