We are sorry to be called Oh to notice
the fact Of another horse being stolen
from this neighborhood. On last Fri
day night there was valuable horse
stolen from the stable of Mr.. Hugh
Fombs, Of Serubgrass township, this
county and as far as we have ascertain.
ed, there is is no clue to the perpetrat-
0rs. 1t must certainly be men that
have followed that profession for
years, or their consciences would
not permit them TO steal from man
that has not been able to work for two
years. When such seoundrels are at
large there can be no better safeguard
thrown around the horses Of our vicini-
ty than the organization Of suitable
detective force and Insurance Co., of
hich there was one lately organized
in THE place Risinq Sun.

About twenty-five dollars was alb
,stracted from money drawer in
Hartswick 4 Irwin's Drug Store, on
Tuesday aflctnoon, April. 4th, by some.
light-fngcred thief. The mystery is
how the person managed to take the
money without being discovered, the
theft having been perpetrated during
business hours, and evidently when
the clerk was in the store. Suspicious
are entertained as~toJ who took the
money, aud if it is returned without
dely, no questions will be asked, but
otherwise proceedings for its recovery
will be instituted. 0''.i
About 5 o'clock on Saturday even
ing, April Sth, a house near Curwens-
vile, belonging to the estate of William
Irwin, Esq, deed ans occupied by Mr..
A. Irwin Thompson aud family, was
discovered to be on FIRE. The alarm
was promptly given, But before assist
ance reached from town the flames had
progressed so far rs to render resist
ance Intellectual. Such household goods
as were on the lower floor and in the
cellar was saved; but all effects. such
as beds and bedding, clothing, and a
lot of meat in the second story were
destroyed. The cause of the fire is a
mystery, having originated in the up
per story, and spread so rapidly. that
Mrs. Thompson, with difficulty, and
not without burning her arm severely
succeeded in saving her children, who
were sleeping on the second floor al
the time-Mr. Thompson being absent
from home. The family received all

LARGE WELL ON CHURCH RUN.-
Quite an excitement was created
in town on last Friday morning,
by a report that flowing we'll had
struck on well No. 2 of Thompson,
Gilmore & Co.'S lease, on the Kerr
farm, Church run. This WELLS almost
three miles north OF Titusville, and
was only about fouI feet in the sand.
1t was not therefore expected that oil
would have been struck at that depth
which made the report the more sur.
prising. 1t appears that about eight
o'cl"ck yesterday morning, tile well
commenced to spout, throwing the oil
about seventy.fve feet into the air in
the form of spray. Work was imme
diately suspended, the tools left in the
we'll and the fires extinguished. The
spouting only lasted for few minutes
In about an hour it again spouted with
equal force, and continued to do 80 du
ring intervals of about an hour. Al
four O'Clock eight barrels had beer
collected; one-half the oil, however
was probably lost, by being scattered
over the ground. Some parties rate
the well at 30, others at so while few
as high as rs barrels per day. 1t will
be tubed to-day, and pumping com
menced as soon as the boiler can be re.
moved to a safe distance. A larg,
number of oil men visited the locality
during the day, and every one seemed
satisfied that the indications were gooc
for the territory.-Heruld.

RAILROAD ORGANIzATIoN.-We OBJ

ed to notice this movement to organ
ize this company, and hope that mea-
sures may soon be inaugurated that
will secure success of this important
project The desire of those who have
control of this measure is two-fold-
one to reach the oil regions; the other,
to reach the coal fields of Mercer and
Butler counties. BY constructing a
road to Cambridge, Titusville can be
reached either by continuing it to Try
onville, and uniting with the Union &
Titusville Road at that point or run.
ming up the A. q G. w. to Union, and
thence to Titusviile, and Oil City can
be reached over the A. & G. w. via
Meadville. There is now a broad
gauge road running from Greenville
Mercer county. to the coal fields five
miles east OF Mercer, which is contem.
plat, d to extend to the coal fields Of
Butler county. At Greenville this
road connects with the A. & G. w.
and by running over the latter to Cam
bridge, the contemplated road from
Erie to that point would open direct
market to our city. Our citizens will
therefore, see that this project is one
which they have no little interest in.-

The Cincinnati Enquirer prints a
letter dated Missouri, April Sth,p re.
viewing the Presidential situation,
from a Democratic stand point. In
respect TO Hendricks, his general pop-
ularity, unexceptionable private char.
acter,and respectability as a statesman,
are acknowledged, but his coalition
with Tammany and affiliation with
the bondholders are mentioned as alb
jections urged against him, besides the
fact that be does not represent the dis
tinctive doctrines which the Democrat
lc party must maintain in the contest
OF 1872. Thurman's ability as iurist
and experience as statesman CON-
mend him to favor, but his presence in
the Senate is regarded as a public ne.
cessity, only to be dispensed with in
the contingency of his transfer to the
supreme Bench Of the United States.

OF the trans Mississippi valley, say:

ed by one Ed. Barrett, near the Dock

Barrett was stabbed in the neck. The
wound is not considered dangerous
one now, in the opinion of DIR. Ray,
who attended him; a sixteenth of an
inch variation would have made it II
fatal blow.
Up to the present time no arrests
have been made. Although Boden
apparently did this in self defence, he
does not seem disposed to give himself
up. He is supposed to be sccreted

he was lying in the middle of the road
