The Titusville Herald discourses
thusly, of the failure of the passage Of
a bill for new county with Titusville
as the county seat:
Our Harrisburgh correspondent yes
terday informed us that the new coun-
ty bill was "a dead issue" for the pres.
ent session. This does not lessen our
or expectation that the disappointment
is only temporary, and that the Legis-
lature will yet concede the justice of
our demand that the people of Craw-
ford county shall have the privilege of
passing upon the merits Of the question
at the ballot-box. 1t may be long de-
ferred, but the time must certainly
come. And what the Legislature will
require is not the argument of dollars
and cents, but the evidence of necessity.
Probably less than dozen memb bers
of that body have ever visited Titus
Vile and the oil region, and have no
adequate conception OF its commercial
resources and Importance. Let the
next Legislature be be brought out
here en- mGSse. Let the hospitalities be
extended to them in a body. Let them
have a chance at the opera and a
glimpse Of Church Run, and, if need
be, free tickets to "Red-Hot." Show
them our palatial stores, elegant hotels
plethroic banks, handsome churches
ann crowded schOol-houses, and senC
them home again with full bellies anC
grateful hearts. just for once.

SERIOUS ACcmENT.-Yesterday af-
ternoon, a young man named VIM.
Wells, in the employ Of the Messrs.
Dunlap, pier builders, while engaged
in assisting TO raise a heavy plank by
means of the hosting crane, was serious
ly injured by the plank falling on his
right leg, occasioned by the breaking
of the hook to which it was attached.
1t was with some difficulty that he was
extricated from beneath it. A mat
tress was kindly furnished by the off
GERS of the Michigan and nc was con-
veyed to his home On Fourth street
Dr. Stranahan was called and set the
limb which was broken just below the
high.-Erie RepVbticon, 9th.

The Rising Sun, of EmlentoE, af-
ter publishing notice of horse hav-
been stolen near there, goes on to say !:
Thieves are doing quite a thriving
business in that line, but still We sup
pose that it is only small amount for
each member OF the band, as We have
some very good reasons for believing
there is large organization in west
ern Pennsylvania, extending over sew
oral counties; also feel pretty certain
that We would not have to answer at
the day of Judgment for any wrong
sentence, if we were pass the opinion
that there was one or more of this gang
of horse thieves and counterfeiters try
ing to pass for honest citizens of this
borough, and at the houses of one or
more Of whom a well known counter
feiter and supposed horse-thief makes
regular visits. This is a rough sketch
of our village but we feel it to be our
duty to state the situation just as it is,
or at least as we think it is.

We take the following items from
the Greenville argus:
On the 9th ult., Thomas Jones, a
well-known citizen of this place, and
chief engineer at the relling mill OF
Geo. Westerman d Co., while engaged
in cutting key-sea on shaft in the
mill, some twenty-five feet from the
ground, accidentally lost his balance
and fell, and in the descent his head
struck the frame Of large grindstone,
cutting frightful cash in his check
aud chin, aud breaking his left arm
near the wrist. Mr.. Jones ankle was
also severely sprained, as being badly
bruised in number Of places on the
limbs and body. Though his injuries
are quite severe it is thought he will
be able to resume his business again in
two or three weeks.
OTTER.-The skin Of an otter mea.
surfing over FIVE feet in length is now
on exhibition at the hardware store OF
Ewing d Sutton. The animal from
which this large skin was taken was
caught in Pymatuning Swamp, above
jamestown, Pa. We hear Of three OF
four offers having been caught near
the same place during the past winter
but the otter is now almost an extinct
species Of animal in this county.

We clip the following items from
the Meadville Republican:
Mrs. O'Neil, wife Of Eugene O'Neil
residing in Vallonia, was the victim OF
the fire on Tuesday evening. 1t was
the same old story-kindling a fire by
pouring kerosene oil out of can. She
was very dangerously burned, and to-
day it is thought she cannot survive.
Another terrible warning to all who
hear but do not heed.
Geo. Smith was arrested in this city
yesterday by Chief Boyd, on intorma.
ton received from Cory that he was
wanted in that town. 1t appears that
George had been guilty of till tapping

We take the following from the
Venango Spectator:
CRANBERRY On F1ELD.-On the
Milton Farm Fisher Brothers have two
rigs up, and Andrews and McMullen
have one rig up.
On the Ridgway & Nash tract three
rigs have been erected, one well of
which is drilling.
Oh the Ballet tract S. & F. Fertig
have two wells ready to drill.
On the Ernst & Bredin tract, Huff
Farm, six rigs are mp.
The development is extending across
Lower Two Mile, or Van Buren, Run.
and quite number Of rigs are in diff
ferent stages of completion. Among
the operators on the oil line two miles
south of the producing we'll on the
Milton Farm, Jonathan Watson has
quite a number of leases, and has al
ready commenced operations on the
Dale Farm.
On the Gordon Farm, adjoining the
Dale Farm, T.. Prentice, of Franklin,
has commenced one we'll.
The new town is rapidly growing in
population and business. Almost
every branch of trade and business in
cident to the oil business is represent
cd there.
A New WELL.-Canning well No.
4, on the property formerly known as
the Montgomery Oil Company's, at
East Sandy, is reported as doing from
80 to 100 barrels daily. 1t was struck
some twelve days ago and yielded at
first about eight barrels, but, upon be-
ing torpedocd on Thursday Of last
week, it commenced producing heavi-
ly, and is reported at various figures
all the way from 30 to 100 barrels. 1t
is difficult to determine what the we'll
will do, as it is clogged with sand, but
it will probably yield 80 barrels. The
land interest is owned by Andrews &
Schriver, who purchased it from j. NJ.
Bonham, Esq, of this city, he having
bought of the Montgomery Oil Com
pany.
ScRUBGRAss.-The west side of the
river at Scrubgrass is attracting the
attention of operators. Jonathan
Watson has taken 90 acre lease on
the Richard Kennerdell farm, and has
commenced operating. G. ID. Angel,

WAR IN SHIPPENvILLE.- "A cor
respondent writing us from Shippen-

We had big excitement in our
quiet village this morning. Joseph
Kiser, collector of school tax, demand
cd the amount assessed from Mrs.
Knoko, which she persistently refused
to pay, although able to do so. The
collector then took two able bodied
men and went to the barn of the re-
cusant taxpayer, to take COW. Then
the fun commenced. The doors were
locked and the old lady inside prepar-
ed to protect her property. The officer
and his posse, after viewing the stua
tion; commenced tearing off boards tc
get the COW out. This aroused the ire
of the female warrior and she conf
menced to attack the invaders. Clubs

CURIOUS EGGs.-Mr. John Day, of
Ellery, has brought to us singular
freak of nature. 1t is a hens egg in
the form of crook-necked squash. 1t
is about two and half inches long,
and in contents is as perfect an egg rs
was ever laid at the same time it is
an exact fac simile of crook-neck.
Whether the hen that laid it was
frightened by having crook.neck
squash thrown at her; or that she had
been eating squash seeds, or how to ac-
count for it We do not know.
Russell a ilso also hands in an egg
on which is as perfect a picture Of a
young duck as could be drawn. 1t is
formed of some substance like wax, a
little darker in color than the shell,
stuck on the outside of the egg. The
picture is about as big as three cent
piece.
We should Judge the hens here
abouts are getting ambitions and try.
to cultivate the fine arts. We wait
with some anxiety to see what will be
the subject of the next lay. Perhaps
it will be set to music.-Jamesto,sn

FRIDAY, DECEMBER :.

The detalcatiou in. the Treasury Department,
in the case of Marden, mentioned in yesterday S
Gazette. has developed other frauds Of heavy
sums of money, and the books show that by
means Of abstraction at different periods. with
in about two years. an amount Of over $50, 900
has been stolen from the government in the
cash room of the Treasury, the offenders be-
ing Marden and Seth Johnson, interest teller.
The discovery of Marden's guilt led the way TO
the discovery OF Johnsou's crime. The latter,
it is said, has been dealing in gold aud stock
speculations, and has been losing for some time.
There does not seem 10 have been any collision
between the two, and it appears that neither
knew Of the crime of the other. Marden aud
johnson have both been arrested.
