Pebsonal. Mr. R. R. Brown, agent of
tbe Peruvian government, li (topping at
the Rochester House. Mr. B. li on a tour
of observation, authorized by that govern
meat, for tbe purpose of examining Into and
linding eut the beat Methods for boring wa
ter wails. He left Peru last May, since
which time he has been traveling in Eng
land ana through Europe tor that purpose,
Hearing the tools used by Mr. C. P. But
ton for putting down tbe large hole on tbe
Central Petroleum Co.'i farm, and which
proved a failure as far as oil wells are con
earned, highly spoken of in England as be
ing tbe best In use far sinking water wulls,
Mr. Brown came on atonee, examined and
purchased Ike toots of Mr. Button, and has
shipped them to Peru. From bim we lean
that there are several oil wells in operation
iu Peru, but none of them are producing
oil to any great extent. Mr. B. expresses
himself greatly pleased with tbe methods
and tools in use in tbe oil regions for sink
log ell wells, and say that in bis report to
tbe Peruvian government be ahall make
special mention of the fact that wells can bo
sunk la tbe Pennsylvania oil region In a
shorter time, and that the machinery In use
is of a more improved style, than in any
other aectlon which be bat visited. He

Editor Dailt Kecorb: Sir Permit
ma to correct an error ia this day't issue of
the Record, regarding the new well on tbe
bluff, near Messrs. Crane, Thacker k Co.'s
refinery. It is named the "Flaville Well"
ad was so named at itt commencement, in
benor of tbe wife of tbe President of tbe
"Earth Boring Machine Co." Tbis Com
pany was organized under the laws ef the
Stute of New Yrk, (not a dollar of its
stuCK is held by English capitalists) who
purchased the letters pten t for tbe United
States for. toe English machinery used for
sinking tho large bole. Tbis well, as stated
tn your paper, proved a failure, and tbe
Company, as such, decliued tu engage fur
ther lo oil speculation. The "preseut well
Is owned by myself aud n friend. It is now
yielding at toe rate el 28 bbla. por day.
Yours Respeotfully,

SixoruB Freak of Lightning. At
moimn net very unusual to have thunder
eud I'g'jtnlng during the wlBter weather it
is seiuom we are called upon to reonrd so
severe a etorm or such singular freaks of
I'iihtnlng as occur red on Tbursdav evenini.
During the storm at ball given by one of
ineaerot-tnonrte of tbe classic city of Pltbole,
the whole company were th rown Into a gener
al ttnteof consternation, by a sharp flash of
iigoining, wmou struck tbe leader ol the
all, Mrs. C.. throwing her flat upou tbe
noor, aud stripping b.er of purl of ber.clots-
ing including her water fell but doing no
serious'lnjury. But a few miuuli s interven
ed, in fact before tno company bud recovered
from this surprise, auotber fla h struck a
young lady, Miss L., with almost a like re
sult, tearing from her bead tbe ringlets that
so much adorned it and passing down her
person tore from ber limb between her knee
nd ankle that graceful swelliug which nil
young men so much admire, and strange to
say without even raising the skin. Nut sat
isfied with this a third flash knocked down
one of our "young man about town," Mr.
M. Although tbe heavy storm brake up tbe
party and concluded tbe evenings entertaln-
nt, we are happy to state that neither
of tbe victims are seriously Injured, all be
ing comfortable at present but cocfined to
their rooms by bruises aodloss of hair and
patent calves.
There ate now ever 80 scholars in attend
ance at tbe Pitbole Borough school. Mr.
W. W. Bailey is principal of tbe school,
and has brought it up to that degree ot per
fection that it outranks many of the schools
in eur larger towns and eities. Mr. B. is
a thorough gentleman aud every way capa
ble of "learning the infant ideas of the Pit
hole children bow to shoot."
Messrs Murphy aod Hilis are about to put
a new well down on tbe Rooker farm. Mr.
John Sabtio is also about to ptit.a new well
down on tbis farm. There are now live
wells pumping on the Rooker larm, bvvrag
iug trom 6 to 12 bands each. '
' From Mr. Geo. Thompson, engineer of
tbe Oil City and Pitbole Railroad, we learn
that tbe business of tbe road was never ia a
more flattering condition. A good deal of
oil is bclofjtraosported over tbe road, com
ing principally from Bean farm and Pleas
antville. .
' Sodden Deatu. The wife of Mr. John
Oweu, of Sbumburgh, formerly conductor ou
tbe Oil City and Pitbole R. R., died very
suddenly at that place, Monday night. Mrs
O. bad been in very delicate health for
some time past, and had only just returned
from Minuesota where she had been for ber
health. She was taken with bemorage of
tbe lungs and died in leas tban Are u.inutes
after the attack. Mis O. was a very esti
mable lady, and ber sudden death has caus
ed a gloom to fall over a large circle of ac
quaintance. The remains will be taken to
Honesdale, Pa., for interment.

An Iowa editor gets off tbe following on
the death of a fellow-editor: Should we
not rejoice that our late friend ef the scis
sors aod quill is in heaven! In that par
adise tbe cry of 'more copy' will never
again fall on bit distracted ears. There hit
enjoyments will no more be intertupted by
the growls of the unreasonable subscriber,
or the duns of tbe paper-market. There be
will enjoy entire freedom from tbe detrac
tions and misrepresentations of political op
ponents snd tbe caresses of ambitious poll,
tical aspirants. In tbe blest abode be is no
more to be troubled with illegible manu
script and abomiuable poetry. No rival
editors will there steal bis thunder, er his
items and typographical errors will know
klm no more forever.
By a special dispatch to this office, we

Gone where the woodbine twinetb" Is
likely to become permanent addition to
our popular apothegms. Mr. James Fbk.
Jr., his tbe credit of thus poetising tbe
cunt vulgarism, '-Gone up a spout." The
Rochester Express says, "it haunts us like
some sweet melody ef the olden time.'
But the press are troubled to know what to
do with it. Some propose to quote It when
inquiries are made for missing funds, but
the Express wishes to work it into tbe his
tory of our partisan life. That paper
says:
We are accustomed to say of detested
candidate that be has gone up Salt River.
Now, there ia eomethiug ol ignominy at
tached to that river, and we belie vo it pos
sible to sweeteu tbe bitter cup the above
class have to drink of. If each could only
feel before he took bis departure that when
he was gone it would be said of bim : "lie's
gone where the woodbine twinetb," it would
afford some mitigation of his sorrow. Se
after tbis let us forget tbe passage of tbe
unfortunate mat up the saline waters of
the celebrated river, and tbink of bim as
sitting where the greenest of verdure grow
etb, and wbere the woodbine is twining 11-
selt attest lonately aboit his neck. l
"G. W. B.'' tbe Voungsville correspond
dent ef tbe Erio Dispatch, writes to that
paper as fellows:
About eight years ago when Oil City
was but a bantling. Mr. J. II. Marston, a
young man direct from Philadelphia, pur
chased $20 worth of boards from your cor
respondent and built a little, rough "shanty,
and commenced tbe business of photograph
ing, but soon finding that dull business,
he commeuced buying and selling eil, in a
small way at first, but by induminitable
energy and persevenace, be steadily in
creased his business until be is now the
owner of a mile and a ball In leagth and a
half mife in width, of the best oil territory
on Oil Creek, besides considerable other
valuable properly in tho oil region. I
write this to show what a young "city chap"
can do ;w boh he sets himself about it in
earnest.
TH ft, LAKE ft'HOZEN OVER.
Lke Ontario, strange to say, was frozen
over on Frid ty night frost UiniU t the
American shore, and as fir east and wen'
ns the eye could reash. Tb is is the firs
tjme that tbis great lake has been ice bounp
within tbe memory of the oldest inhabitant,
and be is a pretty old cbap; that is as far
s we have beon able to ascertain; but per
h aps some thoughtful member of the York
pio neers could enlighten tbe general public
on tbe matter. The thermometer stood
only at cere oa Friday night; but there was
scarcely a breath of wind, aod consequent
ly tie wateis of tbe lake were calm and
eusily oanght in tbe firm embrace of old

A Steain Engine, the fuel of which is crude
petroleum, ia reported as having been in
operation in Georgetown, D. C, lor tbe
past two months. Tbe engine is of thirty
horse power, and la supplied with steam by
a tbiry-dve foot cylinder boiler. Tbe
average pressure of steam when Cumberland
coal was used, was th:rty-8ve pounds per
square inch, and with petroleum vapor,
seventy-five pounds. Tbe latter service is
performed at the expense of one gallen of
crude oil per hour, aud a cost of seventeen
cents.

A "notion" seller was offering Yankee
clocks, finely varnished and oolored, and
with a looking glan in front, to a certain
lady not remarkable for personal beauty.
"Why, it's beautiful," said tbe vender.
"lleautiiul. indeed! a look at it almost
friuhtena me!" said the lady. "Then
inarm," replied Jouatban, "I guess you U
better buy oue that hain't got ao looking
glass." As Spring upproaolies, tbe pasaeuger lists
by tbe Europe.au steamers exhibit a marked
increase. The Villa de Paris, for Havre
Saiurday, has about one hundred'! an fifty,
and the City of Baltimore, for Liverpool, a
good many above the usual average. A II
tbe steamer agencies say they expect the
travel both ways tbe coming summer will
