The Hillsdale Companyy are in c,ive
preparation for new well on 4 new
tract of land living on what is know n
us the Volcanic Ridge. c. W. Metler

The production last week on the

The iron tank belonging to w. c.
Stiles, jr., with capacity of six thou
sand barrels, has been completed and
we learn it is to be filled with oil and
held for better prices.
The Modoc Oil Company with A.

have thirty acres of most desirable ter

The Oil Production OF July.

From the Pennsylvania Petroleum
Retorter, com piled by S. II. Stowell,
Esq, We CLEAN the following facts with
regard to the production OF oil in
Pennsylvania for the month of July;
1873, which may be accounted, coming
from the source they do, as reliable:
Number Of barrels Of oil on hand at
the close Of the month, 2oo.765; num-
Der Of barrels OF oil produced in the
month. reckoned upon the basis OF 81
DAYS to the month, 1883; number Of
wells producing, 4,4eo; number OF
wells drilling, $40; number Of barrels OF
oil in iron tanks and pipe lines, 1905
671; number of barrels held by re-
fners, ia. 1874; total number Of bar
rels OF oil held in the divisions and
districts, I,433,62o.
Upon compa' ing the production OF
July, we find the production for June,
7e3.4S2 barrels, as against aproduction
for July of Sc, 696 barrels, showing an
Increase in the production Of The lat
ter month Of 7I,2r4 barrels, or an az
erage daily increase OF I,4+4 barrels
per day. Comparing the same months
we tinI decrease for May OF stock
Of ro.654 barrels, which, though small,
is still encouraging, but to offset this,
however, there is an increase of stock
in iron tanks and reiinerieS OF I2S,7Sl
barrels over that Of June.
In June there were 400 producing
wells as against 1870 in July, showing
an increase CT twenty producing wells
for the latter named month. What
seems a little singular is the fact, upon
comparing the daily production of
these months, that these 20 additional
wells only show production of u 40
barrels per day, while they are report
ed in the newspapers OF that date, as
yielding all the way from one hundred
and fifty to FIVE hundred barrels per
day. Our West Virginia territory, on
Elliot's Run, will discount the above
showing. OF wells in process Of drill
ing, there is an increase of forty-fve;
there oeing 3+5 wells for july against
eos Fot June.
To g;ve our readers better idea Of
the vast trade in petroleum, we pub
tish the production ard shipments for
,hirtetn m onths, from June. 1872, to
June, 1873, inclusive, as reported by
the Producers Association and Coun-
Gil Cor the first nine months, and BY
the Pennsylvania Petroleum Reporter
for the past four months. 1t must be
remembered that this does not include
the production or shipments of West
Virginia or Her Majesty's possessions,

TROUBLE IN ST. MARTISsvIILE- On
Monday last difficulty occurred in st.
Martinsville which at one time Threatened
serious results. Owing tn his opposition
to the Kellogg government, Mr.. valsin
Fournet had failed to pay his taxes aud his
property was seized and advertised for sale
by Collector Delahous>ave. On Saturday
last an Injunction was obtained, hut ewing
to some delay in the clerks Office it was
not served upon Sheriff Delal,oussaye i'm
time to prevent tbs sale. Just AZ the last
lot of property had been bid off Mr.. Valsin
Fournrt and some of his friends appeared,
and the former informed Sheriff Deiahous-
sage that the sale had been injoined, but
the Sheriff responded that the Injunction
had not been served upon him and it was
now too late. as the property had been
sold. Hereupon high words ensued be-
tween the Fournets and the Dclahoyssayrs,
when it is said some one slapped in the
face Young relationships, who is both
deputy sheriff far his brother and deputy
tax collector for his fathe He drew his
pistol and at the same moment there was
pretty general drawing of pistols by the
friends of both parties Who had congrtgated
IN large numbe-s. Fortunately, however,
no one fired, and in IA short time quiet was
restored.
The excitement was 50 intense, for n
while, that Judge Train adjourned the dis
trict court. and he had to appoint special
deputy to take charge of the jury and the
prisoner ON trial. The officer in command
Of the United States troops there bnckled
ON his sword, and had his men in readiness
to quell the disturbance had firing CON-
menced.
We learn that the troops had received or
ders to leave st. Martinsvill,. to-day, their
services being needed elsewhere and if
they should leave, it il feared that difficult
ties will occnr, as there is - bad blood be-
tween the two families named above-the
Fournets and the Dclahoussayrs.
The above may not be correct in all re-
spects, but we give the statement as made

what that will is, but the courtiers Of

clamors." They were despised and disre-
garded until they swept away a dynasty
forever In somewhat a similar manner
we have heard the local excitement which
preceded the late elections characterized
as merely the ebulltions Of political dis
content. But the condemnation of the
Credit Mobilier and the conviction of
Tweed show the people determined to re-
buhe political robbery aud corruption.
The union of the farmers evinces similar
resolution to control or destroy the mon-
strous monopolies which fatten ON the toll

Gov. WARMoTH.-The N. o. Picayune
gives currency to rumor, which first orig
In itesl with the Missouri Republican, that
Gov. Warmoth has sold out" to the KEEL
logg party-the price being his election Ia
the U. 5. Senate-and that he will work
against the Fusion party before Congress
when that body meets. That the Fusion
party-Or that portion OF it of which the
Picayune Is the organ and exponent-haye
treated Gov. Wnrmoth shamefnlly, no one
doubts. That faction, while accepting his
powerful assistance, huntesl him down to
the death, and exulted more in his over
throw than they lamcnted the faiurs of
the Fusion party. That he would be JUS
titled in cutting loose from this ungratefml
element, even to join the Kellogg party, no
one of his friends can doubt. Ii sounds
strangely in the Picayunc til refore to
naiveiy ask, Gan it be that Gov. War
moths enemies (sic) are determined to ruin
him ia the estimation OF all good men
Out up on such hypocrisy.
The Herald assures us, however. that the
Picayune's innuendoes are without any ba-
sis, and states that the accidental interview
between Gov. Warmoth aud Kellogg had
no reference to politics, but only to certain
railroad matters, and that he is still true
to the cause he sd nobly and theoretically
espoused last year. Bur, AS We have said,
he would be- justified in the eyes Of his
friends ii he were to turn his hack apon
the .ingratitude of the .icayune and its
clique, and rend them POLITICALLY and fig
uratively) limb from limb for the shame
full treatment he has received at their
hands. In conclusion, we have only to say
that young Harry of Navarro" has many
warm friends everywhere throughout the
State who will follow him wherever he
cbooses to 20, having faith that his white
plume will lead them into square and
lively political fight, If not to victory.
