Court assigned him Messrs Jno P

haze any defence at all, but subsequently
withdrew his objections to having coun-
sci. After conversation with Mr. O'Neill
he asked that the arrangement be post.

could be afforded time to ex-
anime the indictment 1t is un

presses willingness to plead guilty
to tie Court, in the bill charging him
with the murder of Cornelius Garry
The District Attorney, however, designs
to try him upon the Court, charging him
With the murder of Mr. Deering. This

wealth ofhcerin the strength OF his case
without availing himself of the pre-

twenty barrels per day. Several other
wells are down and tubing, the names
of which | have forgotten. A large
number more will get down within the
next ten days. Tanks are being put up
on every hand Tankmakers are driv-

prices as they choose to ask for work.
The number at present engaged here
are not able to supply the demand, and
at some of the new wells they have
holes dug in the ground to hold the oil
till tanks can be procured. There are
now over 1000 barrels Of oil in tanks
in this vicinity, waiting for better roads
and higher prices before shipping to
market. Here, when wells are put
down, tubed and tanked, the expense
and cost is about at an end, and their
production may be counted as nearly all
profit one man can take care of dozen
wells. 1 inquired of a shareholder in a
fifteen barrel well the cost of taking care
of and marketing the oil, and was in.
formed that they paid their Superin.

pertaining to that position.
The excitement, which, during the
past three or four weeks of rain and
mud, showed little signs of abatement,
now that the fair weather is fast drying
up the roads, is again on the increase,
and crowds are daily coming and going,
gazing and wondering at this marvel in
oil history, host of lrells all fO,Cing and
not one single failure The certainty of
getting oil in every we'll boring becomes
fixed in the mind of every visitor The
purity and value of the oil, and the
small cost of taking care of well, sat

realized, so that but few who come go
away without investing AS an exhib.
ition OF the marvellous enterprise of
man, and the wonderful production of
nature, the sight of these flowing wells,
and the vast and extensive operations
going on here, is we'll worth the cost of
the trip from any part of the country, to
any one who has the money to spare.
