TERRIBLE CONFLAGRATION OF OIL WELLS.
The express from Titusville, on Thursday,
brought the news of a terrible conflagration
which occurred at Rouseville, fourteen miles
below the former place, at 4 o' clock ou Wed
nesday. The particulars, as near as wo could
glean them are as follows: —A party of men
were drilling at the u Merrick Well," and at
about 3 o'clock struck the largest vein of oil
and gas flowed from the well in a four iuch
stream, and spouted into tbo air to the height
of fifty feet, with a rushing sound. Prepara
rations were made to save the oil, and while
dipping it from (he ground into barrels the gas
with which the at/uospbero had become charged
ignited by some means uukoown, and exploded
wi'h the noise of thunder, which was heard at
a distance of fix mile*, las'aotiy the whole
neighborhood was in flames, and burning with
the fierceness of a volcanic fire.
Four men wore burned to a crisp at the weil
where the explosion took place, aud a fifth,
Mr. 11. It. Roos*, of the firm of Rouse, Mitch
ell & liruWD, was so baldly burned that his
I bowels piotiuded and his body was almost
! completely robbed of its skin and flesh. He
j was not expected to live twenty minutes when
! persons were dispatched to Titusville for j hy
scians. These persons, stated that the flames
spread from well to wcil, and bouuded over
the ground in every direction as if chased by
a whirlwind, and that all 'he derricks and com
bustible maitcr in the vicinity would be
| destroyed. They also stated Heir fears that
large numbers of p nous baa suffered death.
At the moment they left many were missing
and the utmo-t confusion prevailed.
It seems that there arc a large numlgr of
wells on the ph-t, many of them only thirty
fee* apart, aud as the iigbt we seen to grow
brighter, fiour Titusville, late on Thursday
OJ ruing, with sudden and vivid flashes, it is
lUt rcasmable to suppose tint the cutire flats
have lecu burned over.— Erie (Pa.) Dispatch.

DIED.
On Monday, the Bth Bit. Miss Margaret R. Fil
ler. in the 20h year of her age.
The death of this young lady is deeply felt, and
widely mourned. Attractive iti personal appear
ance, winn ing in manner, pleasant ia her intercourse
witb a'.!, and adorned wih many traits ot natural
loveliness. She was admired and loved by all who
knew her. To her natural endowments of mind
and heart , which secured the esteem and affection
of her acquaintances, were added, we trust, the
rtei er adornments of religion. Interested in the
covenant of Christ, with views of the plan of sal
vation remarkably clear, and exercises of mind
though not strikingly marked, yet such as indicate
the special operations of divine grace, "we mourn
| not as those who have no hope." Deeply convinced
| of sirduloess. and pctsnsrded that there was noth
ing between her and perishing but the blood of tins
Lamb, She sought an interest in the atoning saeri.
Ifice. pleading the Saviours prosiise ; '-ark and it
shall be given unto you." She was not a ooni
i miming member of the church. Although she
j had in contemplation pnbtic profession of religion
| several months before bet decease, impaired health
j and other causes prevented. She occasionally ex
' pressed a strong desire to live, and was liopefn!
with regard to the issue of her sickness, until near
j the last. She once remarked to the writer that
i she had been prayirg much 'hat God would pre
pare her for an early death, or, if it was his will to
prolong her lifo, that she might henceforth live to
bis glory. She spoke but little to others with re
gard to her prospects, hut her thoughts were evi
dently much occupied with eternal realities. In
: the still hour of night, when she supposed others
j slept, she was heard to repeat those words of the
Saviour which form a part of that tender fatewell
j addrets to his disciples; <-In my Fathers house
, are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have
told you." After an mteriuption, hy a par xysm
of coughing, she resumed the discourse which
| s.-cmid to furnish a subject of devout and pleasant
| contemplation. On another occasion, the evening
j of her death, when a christian friend was rending
j one of the Psalms, she anticipated the reader and
; quoted iu a clear, culm voice a passage refering to
ike nork ol r-demptior.. and the harmonising of
the divine attributes in the blood-sheding of Christ;
"mercy and troth are met together ; righteousness
and peace have kissed each other." Her last
thoughts were given to tin Saviour aid his work.
She said she was prepare! to die, and soon aller
j without a struggle or a groan, fell asleep, we trust,
i ill .!• ses.
This case of hopeful conversion, as we regard it,
should not encourage presumption, or postpone
ment of preparation for death until "the eleventh
hour," when many seek to enter into lif- and are
not able. VVe refer to it as un exemplification ot
j God's grace, and the Saviour's willingness to re
ceive those who come to him in the way of God's j
i appointment.
I The mother of the deceased, for many years a j
widow, has now Committed to the grave six (laugh- :
j tcrs and one son. G<ui's dealings are often in
scrutable. "Joseph is not, ami Simeon is not, and
j ye will take Benjamin away, ail the.-* things are
ag i'nst me." Such was the Patriarch's 1 uucnt.
But the hand of vigil in' love was n all his affile.
■ tions, and the night of weeping w is succeeded t y a
! morning of joy. To the hewild-ro 1 and mourning .
| parent infinite Love says: "Whit I do thou know
• est not now, but thou shaft know hereafter."—
j Through grace, confi ling faith in iv respond: "It
' is the Lord, let him do what seenicth him good."
"Judge not the Lord by feeble sense
But trust him f r his grace;
Behind a frowning providence,
He hides a smiling face."
At the Forks of the road in Napier Tp., after a
shoit illness. Elizabeth Stocky, in the 1-Sth year of
| her age.
j Tli.? subject of this notice, whose amiable dis-
I posit ion and aflbctionate manner won not only the
: love of her tatlwr mother, brother and sisters, but
, the esteem of all who knew her, took the diptheria,
! and after eight days, the three list ol which
t were spent in the most intense suffering, her spirit
I winged its way to heaven.
The day before her death she desired to be
: baptised, and she was accordingly received into
1 membership of the Evangel Church,"
j by tho Rev. Yingling.
She se*nid to hive no ftars of death, but said
she was going home , her latest breath was spent
in exhorting her father not to weep for her as she
i would soon be happy.
Lilt up your heirts afliicted ones,
In faith O kiss the rod,
[ Zton is now dear Lizzy's, home
Zion the home of God.
You have the blest assurance now,
She to heaven has gone to rest,
Through a long eternity,
i L 7 pon her Saviour's I reast,
Ceasu weeping were her dying words,
Know this and strive to live,
Ever ; as sbe in'readinesa,
Your lives to God to give.
