Rev. J. T. Michael, the district chairman, officiated, and quite a number were baptised on Saturday. The love feast and communion ser vices on Sunday were among the good features of the occasion, and quite a number went forward to seek forgive ness of their sins." Vennor's predictions for the month of August are as follows: The first week of the month is likely to give heat and some severe local storms where these ere experienced last year. Hail should be guarded against in Western sections. I think the fore portion of the month will be charac terized by widespread heat. First change to cooler weather after the 10th when a very decided relapse to cool weather may trke place, with even snow falls in mountainous regions. Death of Jacob Zents. Again we are called upon to chron cle the death of one of our oldest citi zens. Urcle Jacob Zents died at the residence of his son G. W. Zents, oa Iloleman Flats, Tionesta Twp., on Monday at 2 p. m. Mr. Z., at the time of his death had arrived at the ripe old age of 78 years. He was well known and highly esteemed by all. At the breaking out of the Rebellion he was 56 years of age an 1 bis years excused him from military service, yet, with the fire of patriotism in his breast, he shouldered a musket and joiood too ranks as a private soldier, doing his duty faithfully and receiv ing a gun shot wound in the left wrist and a sabre wound in the left side. For several years prior to his death be received a smell pension. He was a member of the 78th Rfgt. Pa. Vols.

OIL NOTES. ; The Tubbs Run well was abandoned last week as a duster, and they are aoW at work pulling the casing. The ex act depth we did cot ' learn, but are informed it is down over 2,000 feet. Falconer & (Proper have a rig com pleted near Russell's mill, Kingsley township, about 4 miles east of Tiones ia creek. They will probably com mence drilling next week. This ven ture will no doubt be closely watched when near the interesting point. The following news from the upper districts we cull from yesterday 'a Der rick : Last week the production of the Balltown dictrict was swollen by the completion of new wells and the shooting of others to 3,285 barrels when a gauge was taken on Friday. Id this gauge was included the first fifteen hours' production of the Gran din No. 10, which was 495 barrels. Dntch Oil Company's No. 3, which had been drilled in the day previous, was doing seventy-five barrels. In it was also included the first day's pro duction of Balltown Oil Company's No. 9, which made 240 barrels. In this district there ate now eight drilling wells, including those shut down, and thirteen rigs up or build ing. Murphy & Galey are building a rig on 3,133. Its location is 400 feet nortbwest of No. 1, on the same lot. On 4,821 the Balltown Oil Compa ny is building a rig for No. 11, located thirty-five rods northwest of No. 10; building a rig forty rods southeast of No. 10, aud another thirty-five rods southwest of No. 9, on a 63 degreline. Grandin & Kelly appear anxious to crowd their wells, and are now build ing a rig between Nos. 6 and 8, aud another between Nos, 10 and 11. Grandin & Kelly's No. 5 is troubled from the sand running in it. By dai ly agitation it is made to produce 150 barrels. Grandin No. 12, which was shot last week, made 120 barrels the second day after using the torpedo. Welsh No. 3 made 25 barrels after being shot with a forty quart torpedo. Porcupine Oil Co.'s N. 9 is 900 feet deep. This is located 400 feet due north of No. 8, and is the only well of auy importance which is being drilled here at present. Murphy & Galey 's No. 2, on lot 3133, is in the sand. It is making a showing similar to Welsh No. 3. These two wells are sufficient test for that portion of the field to show that the Balltown sand is susceptible to a drainage from the first wells down, as to make other wells drilled near them 01 mue importance to me trade or the owners. Grandin No. 11, located between Grandin 10 aud 3, on 5'!36, is due this week, and this is the only well ia this district which is likely to be completed before next Monday. Gartlan, however, has started the drill at his well on 3195, and it may be completed soon. This well has beeu shut down since early in July. It is located east of Porcupine No. 4, or the old Gartlan well on 3194. From its location it is likely to be a dry hole or a very small well. The produclieu of the Cooper tract declined 587 barrels last week from the previous week's gauge, the total output being 3,129 barrels. During the week one well was completed Union Oil Company's No. 17 and four were shot, viz : Anchor Oil Co.'s No. 29, Union Oil Co.'s No. 16, Pat terson No. 4. The total increase from shooting and the uew wll was 214 barrels, which added to the net decliue of 587 barrels, would make a gress decrease ia the production of 801 barrels. The wells that were shot did uot respond to the torpedo as strongly as they have done before. During this week five wells are due on the Cooper tract. These are Mo Calmout No. 8, on lot 440; McCal mont No. 5, on the Henry lands; Shultz, Armstrong fe Co.'s, oa the Blue Jay property ; Stewart's No. 3, on the J. A. tract, and Uniou Oil Co.'s No. 18. McCalmont's No. 8 was be low the gas sand this afternoon and should strike the second saad to-morrow. It is located 609 feet east of the No. 1. There are ninety-nine producing wells in the Cooper tract distiict, fit teeu drilling wells and twenty rigs up or building, including several that will probably uever be drilled. In the Balltown district there are thirty-one producing wells. As an un usual number of wells were completed io this district last week, amoag which were two laro ones, aud several (hot, it is probable that the production thole reached its highest point then. Oak Woods. A correspondent at Oak Woods, Kingsley township, sends us the fol lowing: Our boys enjoyed quite an exciting fool race on the the 2d inat. Clark Kepler challenged John Hpndel to run him a race from the Centennial to the Hungry Hollow Mill, a dis tance of a mile and a half. They started together and kept pretty even John a trifle ahead until thej .had run about two-thirds of the way, when Clark was taken with a pain in bis breast and was obliged to stop. ' John kept on aud made the distance in tho remarkably good time of nine and three-fourths minutes according to the watches of Aaron Root and Isaac Kiuch, the official timers. According to our informant's story the most in teresting part of the program was that Isaac got the boys started, then went after them and got to the stopping place in time to see the runners com ing in; we didn't learn what time he made. Another correspondent informs us of a terrible fire that "might have'' occured at that place on the evening ef the 2d, as follows: Word came over that the woods near the mill was all on fire, and for Mr. Root to shut his mill down and bring all hands to the rescue. Dropping everything the boys all started on the run for the scene of disaster. Reaching the spot, panting and breathless they found lo and behold ! nothing but a "punkey smudge," as it were, which Mr. Rus sell's men had started in orderjto burn some under-brush to clear, up a place for a site for their new mill. The boys returned that evening with good ap petites for supper. . ' School Report.
