Since the last writing several incidents have
transpired that might be Of interest to some
Of your numerous readers, though material
for an ordinarily respectable communication
have been exceedingly scarce in this section
for some time.
An attempt was made by a party named
Pile and Ruberts, accompanied by lad, to
rob David Gray, Esq, Of this county, short
time ago. Rubcrts was arrested and held to
bail in the sum Of 81 900, but failing to give
bond, was committed TO prison. The boy, on
representation Of Ruberts, that he was along
against his will, was discharged. Pile is still
at large. The guilty parties are all Of Casey
county, and have the reputation Of being ex-
Perienced hands in the robbing profession.
kuberts, however, is said to be a member Of
an old and highly respectable family Of Casey
county. We understand that an attempt will
be made by his friends to prove him a mono
maniac upon the subject Of stealing.

US. and exhibited on the Slst ult, at this

whole, the affair failed TO come up to public
expectation.

Mr.. Carter, the lessee Of the Otter Creek
Oil Well, we learn, will soon commence
operations with increased facilities for trans
portation, and by the time navigation opens
in the Cumberland river, will have ready a
large quantity Of crude petroleum for ship
ment The products Of this Well ranks No.
as a lubricating oil, and commands ready sale
