OF TWO Erie Observer ol the IGth inst. records the recent death of two venerable citizens of Erie county, well known to the citizens oi Crawford county.

Mr. Joarph P. Grant, father of Beujamin Grant, Esq of Erie, died on Thursday afternoon, at "Wesley- ille, after a long and severe ogecl 78 years. He -was born in and emigrated at en early period to 'Wayne in this county, where ho lived until 1850, when he removed to Weslyville, where he has oince resided. Mr Grant served as a volunteer in.the war of 1812, and look-part in the battles of Sackett's Harbor, Oswego, Chrvstler's Fields and other minor engagements.

He was with the expeditions for tho capture oi Montreal, and in all bis military duties acquitted himself like a thorough soldier. UT. Grant was a man of intelligence, and joseesped the universal esteem of his neighbors. Mr. Samuel W.

father of Dr. W. B. Magill, departed this life, at tbe residence of the latter, in Erie, on Tuesday orenoon of last week, at the ripe ago of 86 years. He was born in Hartford county, and was left an orphan when about ix yean old.

At an early age he was ilaced to the printing business in a dally lewspaper office in Baltimore, and devel ped so much talent that before his np- renticesbip was half accomplished he be- amo the managing editor of the paper. After seven yecrs of hard labor, finding Lis lealth left tho nally settled at Cumberland, where in, 1813, the "Allegheny freeman," as an advocate of Democratic irincipltB, to which he remained de- vote-ly attached until the day of bis death. When the British threatened Baltimore, he marched to its defence, furnishing his own torse aiid equipments. In .817, he abandoned tho editorial chair, and went into the drug business, having prepared himself for his new occupation by a careful course of medical read- ng. He removed to Mcadville with his family in 1823, where ho continued in the drug trade, but having an effeetion $11 newspaper men, for his old calling he eventually became editor of the Irawford Conner, ond in 18'iOcommencec neutral paper, The American Citizen His vigorous brain was not content with editing a journal that bad no opinions and he soon changed the Citizen to the Democratic Republican, which he continued until 3847, when he retired from political Life.

Mr. Magill came to Erie about eighl years ago.where lie has resided with son ever since. He'was a man of rare gifts mind, and pocsescdan extraordinary memory of events in tbe early history the country.

At the residence of the bride's father, Wednesday evening of this weok, Miss Alice Steele, daughter W. Steele, of this place, was married by the iev. T. B. Wells, to John W.

Alexander, Titusville, Pa, Painesvillebas been most highly favored the past season, with a succession weddings, any one of which had enough wealth and taste and beauty lavished pon it to have sufficed for a dozen similar ccassions in the good old days of onr implcr minded grandfathers and grandmothers. Commencing early in tho win- er and following in rapid succession, each eemed to strive to outdo all before it, in legance of arrangement, perfeotness of etail and richness of costume and decor- tion. Dame Rumor gave to the winds that one of Pennsylvania's ons was to carry from among us, the aughter of our worthy representative, very body was on tbe qui vice to see what urther triumph wealth and taste could ossibly achieve. The result has proven hat the two are all-powerful. The ceremorfy was performed in the west drawing-room at 8 o'clock.

Messrs. larry King, H. B. Steele ajid E. C.

Smart fficiated as ushers. With commendable the sister of the bride, Miss Laura Steole, waa-the only bridesmaid; and Mr. "obn H. Broas, the only rroomeman. After the ceremony the riends of the bride and groom tendered them their congratulations and wiahes or future happinets, with a cordiality that bowed well the loving estimation in which both were held by those who knew hem.

At 10 o'clock the dancing hall was ihrciwn open, and to the enlivening music if McAfee's band, the festivities were kept up until tbe "wee- sma' hours." The presents were rich and beautiful, and in. value could not have fallen short of Tbe father of tho bride present- id bur, as bis offering, with two $5,000 and other relatives and riends all strove to show by the richness of tbeir gifts their regard for the bride. Tbe whole dwelling was redolent with ho perfume of flowers, and the decorations were exquisite throughout But the mil room was par excellence, the most richly endowed with floral treasures. Wreaths of delicate white and green, gar- ands of fragrant exotics were profusely seen, wbile in each alcove were suspended musical instruments formed of rare and joautiful flowers. Amidst so much of beauty, and surrounded by so many elegant costumes, one could not particularize nor note by what details tbe charming enttemblo was produced- The impression of a perfect plea- ure alone could be realized, and the consciousness that, as in a beautiful -was nothing wanting--nothing to weary--was the source of enjoyment to all present.

After tho wedding breakfast en the fol- owing morning the bridal party, accoro by quite a party of friends, who could not bear to reach tho moment when tho parting word must be ipoken, stnrtoc for thoir home in Titusville, bear- witb them the hopes and wishes of all, that no rluud would ever rise to mar 'utnro begun so auspiciously.

With- jut waiting for an introduction, Mr. lowbray walked up to Drake, quietly remarking: "You are a bold man, air." tbnt was the quiet response tho colonel. "You arc a bold man," repeated Hr. Howbray; "with a well throwing out pe- by the barrel, capable of enrioh- ug fifty men, and revolutionizing tbe coal oil business of this city, you road your pa- er with a quiet indifference which imazes mo, who see in your discovery that cannel coal mines must return to their old value, and coal oil reiinorieseadapt themselves to refining your there- followed most interesting interchange of views. Tbe meeting of theso two remarkable men is a most important epoch in tho history of petroleum.

Each was a repregeu- tive man. Col. Drake, whose enterprise, and true New England iardihood, bad oven then beforo the value of petroleum was known, acquired 8 reputation to be justly prgnd of, at once recognized" a coalescing spirit in tbo frank, whole-aouled Englishman who bad accosted him in a manner so unique, and who so deftly touched a chord which could not Fail to vibrate music to ears--pclro- Tbe Colonel was then on one of his many visits to tbo Iron City, aud maiing strong efforts to introduce tho oil whioh was accumulating in his tanks, and tho market glutted-- ten barrels bad overstocked tho market--and no prospect of better times ahead. His work of finding petroleum had becu one of incomparable difficulty, it seemed, but here was one which promised to eclipse even a aud this toinuko people comprehend its value. Not being a practical chemist, he could not so well succeed in this Ijst -work as the first.

5Ir: Mowbray happily supplied that wherein tbo Colonel lucked. HD was chemist of thorough experience, highly educated, a perfect gentleman, imd jusr ths man of all others to take up tho work so well begun by Drake, uud bulp carry it forward to completion. IIo read tbe Colonel at a gVvnco. Ha knew the value of petroleum. His sturdy English education, and tho iestou gleaned from extensive travel and i i i the world, had given him thu compreben sive mind and tlio shrewd buaiitL-sa foresight aud sagacity necessary to seu at ouce the immense value of Drake's diacovcry.

Not until four o'clock tbe morning did the strangely important council break up. Both gentlemen were gre.it lovers of tobacco, and tradition tells of almost an entire box of choice Itavanas biuh bo- came burnt-offering to science upon this occasion. Tbe weather ut tins time so intensely cold that tho route to the Oil Region via tbe Allegheny river waq impassable; so the Colonel and Mr. Mowbray proceeded to Tiuiaville via Cleveland Erie, c. On tho morning after reaching Titu-ville, a visit to tlio Dniko well was course tho first object.

Upon i turn from the well tho Colonel bitterly remarked And now, with all the oil obtained-with our entiro capital expended--bore am, straightened for the necessary means to inirodnco it, and the whole nf tho coa oil interest dead against me. I have die tributed hundreds of barrels, travelled far and offering it for one-half the pro ceeds that may be realized, but liavo no obtained one cent returns." Hr. Mowbray said: "If I had your oi iu New York I would anon relieve you trom tbis The Colonel answered that he bad three hundred barrels at the Union station on tbe Erie and Sunbury railroad, which he would eend to York immediately and after somo discustion as to theamoun of advances on account and future con tin ued a contract was entered iuti for receiving all the oil proiluned by the Colonel's wells for five ycara. And there after, and some eight following Mr. Mowbrt.y became identified with tb oil interest, making advances througl Messrs.

Schieffclin Brothers Co. of ten dollars per barrel. And subsequently fo Messrs. Dowaer Co the Portland Ixaro- Oil Company, the Lntln-r Atwoo Kerosene Oil Comp.iny, this busineb rear.bed to udvanceo at the rate ol fiv thousand dollars per day. Necessarily, to reimburse these advance, an amount of energy and perseverance under opposition from contltctmg interest and indetBtiuable uere brought bear, that eventually compelled the coa' oil worka to adapt their experience an stills to the refining of petioleuni.

Claim for allowances for water on the pnrt oj thi consignees, which owing to the variet fortunes und frequent charges of propric torsliip iu wells, could not reclaim ed by Mr. Mowbray, we believe intorferei with his realising a fair remuneration fo his labor, and necessitated tho employ ment of his time in pursuits more ronpcn ial to his life education as a chcmiflt; bu lie is much respected by the old pioucei of the oil business, with whom all his transactions were characterized by a de cision and promptitHde that gave an im petus and vina 10 the "men at the well, Tbe Ralston and Tidioute and Warren Oil Companies. The special correspondent, of the Pitts- inrgh Ulvronide writiag from Tidioute, under date of Feb. 15, says: 'Eich month, as I read the notice of a ve per cent, dividend, by the Ralston Oil Jompany, I have wondered why it, almost ho only one of all our oil companies, paid, nd I wanted to know something about it. learn that this company purchased from W.

W. of Pittsburgh, his share, tenth, of tho Tidixmte and Warren Corn- any. It cost him $500, and cost the pur- haser $60,000, and the'compauy $100,000, ut its yield has'been as high aa $80,000 a single year, and for some time has een paying regularly an average of ft 000 per month. So the one share in ho Tidioute and Warren Company, which mentioned yesterday as owned by one our fortunate business men, produce men, must produce $50,000 to 60,000 per year instead of $25,000, to $30,000. Tho Economite tract was taken originally rom necessity, to secure a debt.

After it was paid the tract was given back to the uoky purchaser, but when ib was found what golden ogga it produced it was again aken possession of by the Eoonomitos, and has produced for them at a low estimate a million of dollars. All the iroducing wells are now located upon tbe top of the high bluff running back oi the river. The giuea in this region all run by gas from tho wells. At first tbe oil flowed spontaneously from all the wells, but afterwards it had to be pumped, and many of them do not produce enough for use, and it is bought and sold as any other uel. In many wella there is a counter uction almost sufficient to overcome the suction of the' best pumps in use, showing tbe stock of gas is almost exhausted.

Many of the well owners pump their wells only six days in the week, refusing jreak the Sabbath day. The result varies. 3n some Mondays production is double 'a Ent Randolph, N. Y. I and culminated io such a production Sa Henry, Dunkirk, X.

PETROLEUM LN THE 'PRODUCTION OK The Chicago Pst of the 10th has the following interesting article Saturday afternoon, at the machine shop of tho Illinois Central Railroad, a large number of our solid and scientific citizens witnessed the working of a patent by which petroleum is used as fuel for producing steam. Petroleum for steam production hail been already successfully adopted in the East, and the advent of its use for the smo purpose in the West must mark a very det.ided era in mechanics. The" advantages claimed for it over ooal are: 1. Much greater power from the same boiler capacity. Mr.

Holton, tho master of the Illinois Central shops, stated ou Saturday afternoon that he could obtain more steam from oneboiler-with petroleum for fnel than from two boilers fed by coal. 2. Less labor lis required in managing machinery for the consumption of petroleum than under the old method of the use of coal. 3. Greater evenness in- running, cleanliness in tho surroundings" of tho machinery, and in the personal habits of the employes.

4. Petroleum as fuel is a saving of fifty per cent, over the expense coal. The application of the principle, with Whipple fc Dickinson's machine, to the locomotives of tbe road, is under the difficulty will be merely of mechanical detail. cinders, and finoke will disappear, and neatness within the irs will be accompanied by less expense and cheaper fare, let us hope, without. THE Corryhniatis are agitating anew county project, with the design of making Corry a county" seat.
