Miss" Barbara Hang, whose parents re
side at St. Nicholas, in Hair township, this
county, was, like many a thoughtless person
liefore her, hurried into eternity a few days
ago at Connellsville, Pa, where she w as em
ployed as a domestic, while attempting to
hiirrv up a sluggish fire yvitli Ihe aid of coal
oil. The accident, if if may le called an ac
cident, occurred aliout 3 o'clock in the after
noon, and the unfortunate girl, who was
burned in a shocking manner, died in great
agony in less than seven hours after. Her
relatives and friends in this county, as may
well lie conceived, are in great distress or
mind at. her sad fate, her mother in particu
lar, If we are rightly Informed, lieing almost.

It is almost certain that in some puns ot t imr-
field county oil can be found by simply !.m:i:g

sand rock. By boring still deeper. a::v . U
sufficiently close in grain or iCxt ore. im.i iy 1 1 n
1n tect of the surface', would uiidoui-fjiiiy
produce oil of a light quality
There Is only one theory that operates against
the oil prospects of this region, and (hat is. be
ing very close to the edgcof the broken stritta.
j it is argued that the oil rock has been dried by

resistHble, within certain limits, but It is known
that dry rock, in the vicinity of oil, docs not
extend larln any direction. Aside from this, ,
wo arc cci lam ihat the breaking of the rock '
strata and uplifting of the mountain, mid thej
limestone at its base, w-re caused by a super- I
abundance of gas, acted iion by Internal heat, i
This being admitted, it Is scarcely possible that
such an immense body of oil-making gas could I
have escapea without leaving enough lo siitur- I
ate the adjoining rocks. It has been estimated J
that the expansive force necessary to break
the compact strata, upliTt the limestone, and
elevate the mountain range, could not have
been less than Iimi.ouO pounds to the square inch
siifticic:il to have forced the gas into very
opening throughout the whole basin.
Tbe so-called oil snnd Is a rock of fine grain
sufficiently close to have prevented the issuing
of gas. and although it may be thoroughty
sntiirated with oil. the reservoirs are under,
and n ot in the rock, a many suppose. A solid
sand rock cannot produce oil in quantity uutil
a crevice is struck.
Comparing a number of geological reports In
the order that we happen t find them, we com
mence with Illinois, where the conglomerate
liasa meHsiirinent if :nu feet, with the oil rock
located KVt feet below it. The oil rock being
100 feet t hick, the depth from top of conglomer
ate to bottom of oil rock, is 1.250 feet. In the
