GREAT SUCCESS
OF THE
BEDFORD co. MUTUAL Oil COMPANY.
Over $4,000 Shares Already Sold.
Capital Stock $780, 900, Par Value $lOO.
No Favoritism. Euay Subscriber on the Ground
Floor,

The property of the above named company, which
is about being organized under the mining laws of
Pennsylvania, consists of the following valuable
territory, TO wit;

A. Seven acres in fee simple on the waters OF

Company All hat, boTeable territory, at present
under cultivation, with good frame house upon it.
5. Three acres in fee simple on the Allegheny
river, Just below the mouth Of the Clarion river.
There is room on this tract for half dozen wells.
The eAllegheny and Clarion River Oil Company
of Philadelphia, aIe now sinking several wells i'm
medately opposite this property, with excellent
prospects OF success.
Ia presenting the above basis to the public, if is
confidently believed that 1t cannot be eXceled by
that of any ether company yet organized. The two
leases on Cherry Run are themselves worth more
than the territory of many companies which pro-
fess to be based upon million capital. TIE Cherry
Run region has proved to be the surest olproducing
territory vet discovered. Nlne-tenths of the wells
bored on this stream have been successful. The
great uReed' we'll, flowing 375 barrels per day. the
sMountan'' well flowing 400, and in fact nearly all
of the large wells yet struck, are located on Cher
ry Ron.
1t is proposed 10 sell sufficient number of shares
to pay for the territory and raise working capital
for its development, at the low price Of tacsntyvs
cents per share txs placing sUsry subscriber this
faa on tie ground floor, and giving each subscriber
pro rata interest the territory, engines, and other
p1opsytg of the company, as well as the shares of
stock remaining unsold after the purchase money
and working capital raised. From the nature of
the leases, boring upon them must be commenced
within sixty days from the Goth of April, 1865,
which is a sufficient guaranty that the company
will proceed without delay t0 the development of
its territory.

FAST RIDINe.-We have frequently called at
tention to the reckless manner in which persons
ride through our streets These rapid riders en-
danger the lives of persons upon the streets
Horses arc ridden in sweeping gallops through
our principal thoroughfares. This was allowa-
Bile, perhaps, during the war, when officers OF
couriers were required to bear dispatches from
one point to another with the utmost speed, at
which time, also, the streets were not constantly
filled with living masses at present. Our police
officers should now take some notice of the prac-
tice The city ordinance forbids it, and all viola
tons should be promptly reported. We have no
idea that the military authorities will sanction,
on the part of their officials, any such conduct
not now justified by a condition Of war, and all
others to whom the jurisdiction of Mayor or the
Freedmen's Court extends, we are sure will be
properly punished.
