Introduction.

This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of the Richard M. Osborne Trust, an Ohio trust (the “Trust”), relating to the acquisition of shares of common stock, par value $5.00 per share (the “Shares”), of Corning Natural Gas Corporation, a New York corporation (“Corning”). Richard M. Osborne is the sole trustee of the Trust.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The Shares reported in Item 5(c) as having been acquired by the Trust were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $120,000 (excluding commissions) with funds of the Trust.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Mr. Osborne continues to acquire Shares because he believes they are undervalued. On or shortly after September 18, 2006, the Trust and Mr. Osborne mailed to Corning’s stockholders a Definitive Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) soliciting proxies for the special meeting of stockholders of Corning (the “Special Meeting”), scheduled for September 28, 2006, to vote against the proposed Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 11, 2006, by and among C&T Enterprises, Inc. (“C&T”), C&T Acquisition, Inc. and Corning, pursuant to which Corning would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of C&T (the “Merger”). In the Proxy Statement, Mr. Osborne details the reasons he believes that the Merger is not in the best interest of Corning’s stockholders, including that the consideration to be paid to stockholders is inadequate and that Corning’s current financial condition has been caused by mismanagement.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) According to the most recently available filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Corning, there are 506,918 Shares outstanding.

The Trust beneficially owns 99,132 Shares, or 19.6% of the outstanding Shares. As sole trustee of the Trust, Mr. Osborne may be deemed to beneficially own all Shares held by the Trust.

(c) Since the filing of its Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D, the Trust purchased 6,400 Shares at a price of $18.75 per share in a private transaction.
