A DRY GOODS STORE ON ONTARIO STREET.
We believe there has not hitherto been an
establishment which could aspire to the
dignity of q dry goods store, on South On
tario street. OF groceries, drug stores, etc,
there has been a su~fiiciency. An expert
ment is about being tried in the introduce
ton of a dry goods house on that thorough
fare. J.. NJ. Hover & Co. will open their
new store in Mr.. J.. Marchsnd's elegant and
substantial building, No. l24 Ontario street,
at ten o'clock next Monday morning. We
think the experiment will succeed. The
stand is a good one. The firm will find in
their new quarters that room which their
large and increasing business has de-
manded, and which they could hardly find
on Superior street. The new building is
$50 feet deep, furnishing rooms as commo-
dious as any on the street just named,;i
The firm will have the use of the base
ment, $50 by % feet, for a store room, the
ground room, same dimensions, for the bust
ness apartment, and the rear half of the
third story. The store proper is fitted up in
fine style, with rich counters extending
through the building, a model office, mid
skylight, &c, and the ceiling is adorned
with a fresco which gives the room a light
and cheerful aspect. By the way, this is
the only 1rescoed store in town. The store
presents a very brilliant appearance with
its shelves piled high with a large and
select stock of fancy and staple dry goods.
As we said, the establishment will be
thrown open to the public at ten o'clock
Monday morning, when the firm will be
pleased to receive calls from their old pat
rons and friends, as well as from those
whom they hope and deserve to enrol here
after as such.

A Chance to make a Fortune.
NoRwALk, October u. 1851.


EDITORS LEADEs: The mania for speculat-
ing in petroleum oil prevails in Norwalk, as
well as at points in Pennsylvania, and with
every indication of abundant success. |
learn that oil has been discovered three
miles from this place, upon a farm owned
by Ephraim Mcmillan. The farm was
leased to a company called the Toledo Pc
troleum Company, who bored a well to the
depth of $50 feet, and found oil, genuine lu-
bricating oil. 1 understand that oil was
discovered before reaching this depth.
The company, for reasons known only to
themselves, stopped the work, leaving their
derrick standing, and the well fastened wltn
a lock and key. There seems to be a mys-
tery about this well, more than this COM
pany wish people to know, and 1t is thought
to be this: The farm, when leased to this
company, had a mortgage on it for debt, OF
about $500, which has become due, and
must soon be paid. Since that tim a de
cree in the court of this county has been OBJ
tanned for foreclosure, and the farm is TO be
sold at Sherif's sale on the 21st day of De-
tober, 1865. Mcmillan is unable to raise
the mortgage. Therefore, this company
has stopped work with a view of bidding
off this farm at the sale, thereby getting a
title to the land, oil and all.
There is a coal bed ON this farm, a fine
sandstone quarry, and, as far as l can Judge
after a careful examination, there is every
indication of an abundance of oil.
Any man or company of men dealing in
oil lands would do well TO come and exam
inc for themselves for whoever bids it of
at the coming sale, gains a clear title of the
ed null and void by the sale.
PROSPECTIVE.

FINANCIAL & COMMERCIAL.
Fp1pAY EVENING, Oct. 10. 1865

FRIDAY EVENING, Oct. 13, 1865.
The Improvement noted for i day or two
past tn the money market was entirely lost
to-day, and succeeded by an uncomfortably
close condition, some of the banks being lit
orally cleaned out of their currency. The
demand for discounts was strong and act
i've, and came almost entirely from the local
business community, in addition to which
depositors checked down pretty closely,
leaving the market almost dry at the close.
Exchange was also in brisk demand, but the
offerings were quite free, and though the
market worked close, the supply was rela-
lively better than currency. Rates were
consequently less firm, quotations at the
close standing at / off to par buying and par
10 / premium selling.
Gold was hardly so firm to-day, probably
influenced by the decline in the price OF for
eign exchange, and fell a fraction, closing
at 1444.
In local mercantile circles there is moth
ing especially new to note. There was rath-
er more inquiry for trade lots Flour to-day,
and prices are firm. Wheat was in more
demand, but prices were withheld on sales
of round lots, and we are consequently with
out quotations. Corn rules quiet, but with
out notable change in price. Oats are only
in moderate demand, and prices steady. Rye
and Barley quiet, with large receipts of the
latter.
Provisions are unchanged, but Pork closed
with less firmness in consequence of the de-
cline East. Produce is steady and firm, and
a good demand is reported for all articles un-
der this head.
Highwines are dull. Petroleum is quiet
and weaker, holders to-day setting back
their views lie. The feeling in Petroleum is
generally unsettled at present, refners de-
Ginning to purchase at the present high rates
for crude, which are to a large extent specu-
latiye. The leading markets are inactive.
The receipts and shipments at this point
of Produce and Merchandise, during the
twenty-four hours ending at z o'clock this
mOrniuO were as follows.

The BUFFALO MURDER-THE MURDERER
ARRESTED IN THIS CITY.-We noted at the
time of its occurrence, the arrest in this city
of Frederick Schafer, the returned soldier
who killed his comrade, John SAKE, in Buff
falo, on the morning of the 2sth ult., and
the return of the same party to Buffalo
by our City Marshal. Fhe Buffalo Courier
gives some additional particulars of the
tragedy, and the strategy employed to en-
trap the murderer. 1t says:
Yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock Marshal
Schmitt, of Cleveland, arrived in this city,
having in custody Frederick Schafer, who
is charged with having murdered John
SAKE on the morning of the 2sth ult, and
the prisoner was at once committed to jail.
The arrest is traceable to the strategy of
Chief Darcy, and although we would not
deny the Cleveland police any of the credit
that belongs to them, we insist upon doing
Justice to our own officials. After the arrest
of Mrs. Sake, the wife of the deceased, and
her son Anthony, on charge of being Access
series to the murder, a letter was received
at the post Office here, for thef former, and
was taken to the jail. Here it was intercept
ed by Tailor R~heinhardt, and placed in pos
sesSlOu VI OHlel OdICy. " PLONou " :"
tender epistle from Schafer to Mrs. SAKE,
written from Cleveland, at which point the
writer expected an answer. Thu Chief at
once replied to the letter, and sent two of
his force to Cleveland to await develop
ments. The officers remained there several
days, but Schafer did not call at the post
office for his letter, nor could they find his
whereabouts. They then placed an ambro-
type of Schafer in possession of the Cleve-
land police, and returned home. On Mon
day the fellow was o~verhauled, and for the
hearty second the Cleveland officials gave
to ours they are entitled to thanks. Mr..
Schafer will now have an opportunity of ex-
planning his motive for stabbing SAKE to the
heart with a pair of scissors, and thereby
causing his death.

NEGRO MISsTRELs.-Cleveland is immense
on negro, minstrelsy. All a troupe of mu-
steal extempore ebonies need to insure sue
cess here Is, to be good; then they are
abundantly ~patronized. Of all the com
panies now travelling, we suppose that AR
~iington, Kelley and Icons Minstrels wear
the belt and carry the banner. Aid we
find that this is the opinion held every
where. As they will appear here next week,
we copy the following notice from the Chi
cago Times, which is offered as confirmation
of what we nave said:
They have everything their own way,
and viii draw when everything else fails.
One can always enjoy s right hearty good
laugh there, and their performances are un-
tainted by the slightest Objectionable fea-
lures. Good taste IS never affronted by the
character or manner of their Representa-
tons, weaving in with old drolleries new
and side-splitting scene and farces. They
constitute the funniest team singlyand coll
lectiveIy that ever worked together in har-
ness. We never saw, East or West, a CON-
papy that sxsslled or sgQaIled them,

ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-Thc benefit of Miss
Sallie st. Clair last evening proved a graft
flying testimonial of the high estimate in
which the artistic ability ofherself and Mr.
Chas. Barras is held in this city. The bill
presented was a very attractive one, the
comedy of the "Hypochondriac," which
affords so admirable a field for Mr.. Barras'
peculiar genius as an actor, being of itself a
dramatic treat of the raciest character, and
possessing the advantage of including both
these stars in its representation. The per-
formance was in every respect u~nexception-
able, and the best evidences of satisfaction
were frequently shown by the large audi
ence.
For this evening the French Spy" and
Jack Sheppard " are announced-a strong
bill, though We feel bound to enter our OBJ
lection to the presentation of the last named
play, Notwithstanding the claim of moral
influence made for it. We regret the Sc
lection more especially for the sake of Miss
St. Clair, who can certainly add nothing
to her reputation as IN actress by repre-
senting the roguery and rascality of youth
full outlaw.

The AMERICAN CHRISTIAN CONNIssION.-
Our townsman, Mr.. L. F. Mellen, has just
returned from Indianapolis, st. Louis and
a general western tour, and reports that
the Indiana Branch of the American Christ
ian Commission met in Indianapolis on Tues
day evening, the 10th inst, to perfect their
organization, Judge David Mcdonald in the
chair. A committee was appointed to nom-
mate permanent officers Of the Indiana
Branch. They reported the following Off
GERS who were unanimously elected
Hon. David Mcdonald, President.
Rev. Henry Day, D. D., Vice President.
James NJ. Ray, Treasurer.
Rev. J. A. Kunkle, Cor. Secretary.
Rev. G. C. Hickman, Recording Secretary.
On motion the following article was in
| corporated in the constitution:
The Presidents of all auxiliary ~associa-
tions that may be hereafter formed through
out the State, shall be Cr o6icio members
and Vice Presidents of the Commission.
The constitution was referred to a COM
mittee for revision, to report at the next
meeting.
A committee was appointed to recon-
mend two or more missionaries to labor for
three months in indianapolis in the work
of the Commission, and to report their names
at the next meeting. Pending the discus
sion of this subject the Rev. Mr.. Martin
dale, of the Presbyterian Freedmsn's Com
mission, formerly City Missionary in Cleve-
land, made some earnest, pertinent and val
liable remarks, which were listened to with
marked interest.
After an address, brief but full of warmth
and earnestness, from the presiding officer,
urging the appointment of day OF fasting
and pssyer for the city, the Commission adj
journed to meet on the following evening at
seven o'clock.
The various Christian denominations of
Wisconsin nave also formed an auxiliary to
the American Christian Commission.
