Tbe old Burtis' well, located en tbe Ball
Farm, near Pithoie, which bad formerly
paruped but a small amount of oil, was put
down twclvtieet deeper about two weeks
sinse, and pumped water lor several days,
during wbieb time $2,500 was retussd for
tbe well. After tlio water was pumped off
it commeuced preducing oil, and. Is now
doing 2 barrels daily.
Colonel TboiiiMi McDonougb bat struck a
good well on thu Hainliy farm, adjoining tbe
bnyder farm at 1' otter. It commenced pump
ing oil balurday atternoon, and is doing
about Bitten baireU daily, with every pros
pect ei increasing. Colonel McDoneugh,
11 r. Biuut, Colouei Phillips, and ethers ol
Pittsburgh own tbe Hamby firm in fea slur
le, and if Ibis wall proves a paying ono
tbe fatm will becou.e valuable territory.
Colonel McDonougb has bee a very fertunate
iu bis operations about Foster.
Tbe Timsf iliu Herald says tbsreis a re
viral ol tbe oil lever at Tyronyilie, and
hopes it will result in a thorough teat of
that locality as oil producing territory. A
trong Company Las been orjanuud, and
preparation have been completed for sink
ing oue well near Gray's mill. Another
well will soon be started in the same ucigb
borbood, aud the cotnpacy have means tor
three or four additional trsts.

It is related of tbe Rev. Charles Town-
send, the receotly deceased octogenarian
rector af Kingston, by-Sea. England, and
the friend or Scott, Byroo, and Wordsworth
that be penned tbe loiluwing witty epigram
apropos of tbe iuvatiuu of bis rectory by

'Tbey came and prigg'd my stockings, my
linen aud my store;
But they couldn't prig my sermons, for Ibey
were prigg'd before.'-
The Roman Catholics have established a
Foundling Asylum in New York, and bung
a basket in tbe vestibule to reeeive infant!
wbisb their parents wish to desert. Each
week thirty er forty are reccilved. Of the
302 cbildrea found in the basket in less luau
a year 105 have died, 33 wore in tbe asy
lum at the last rejtort, and ICS vr:e out
nursing. Thus far $20,000 bavo been col
lected for it, but tbe State is to bo asked
to give aid.
It is said that in tbe case of McFartand
there ia burdly a possibility of couvictioo,
or even a disagreement of the jury, public
opinion, as well as private judgment, bav
lug been so Bkilllully and industriously
manipulated by the newspaper detractors of
Richardson that it will be next to impossible
to secure a competent aud impartial jury.
San . Francisco wants a more abundant
supply of water, and seriously entertains a
project for bringing it in pipes, seven feet
in diameter, from Lake Bigier. Tbe length
of the pipe would be one hundred and
twelve miles, and cost ten million dollars;
but It would supply water to all the Inter
vening towns, and lo the (arms requiting ir
rigation. AJTirgloia darkey stole a railroad ride on
'he truck uudor tie tender. Ills remains
were taken up Iroderly.
A ReToluilou la the Circus Bust.
V Jiess.
Of late years Ibe botel and stable bills of
tbe showmen have run up to such enormous
figures as to devour nearly all theirrcceipls.
la order to overcome this enfrebling drain,
Mr. J. M. French, of New Orleans, who
bad to take a circus in self-defense, and
run it in order to get back money which be
had loaned to tbe proprietors, last season
hit upon the expedient of' camping bis men
and horses on tbe ground on which tbey
performed. This worked so well that Mr
French basgoce into the business systemati
cally, aod will this season run bis show iu
depsudently cf landlords aod stable keepers
altogether. '. .,
Mr. French baa bid a kitchen built, etgbt
feet wide, ten feet bigb and eighteen loo;,
with all the modern improvements, which
is mounted on wheels, aad in wbich cooking
can be done lor one hundred men with
economy aud celerity. This kitchen will
be a big show itself, aud .the performances
of tbo cook and bis assistants will be apt to
divide tlia Interest of tba country house
wives with Hie performances uuder tbe
canvas. Mr. French bus also devised a por
table canvas stable for bis Loreus, tbirty-Cve
feet wide, eighty Sto feet long, and fifteen
feet bigb. Portuble stalls, troughs and
other stable gear have also been provided
in abuudance, aad provender has been en
gaged at convenient points, so that the
horses ef tbe concern may have all possible
equine comforts
O tu?r (bowmen gattUg wind of this new
Improvement, have also gone into It; and
it now looks aa though the country land
lords would be left unto themselves desolute
by those on whom tbey have beretqfure
looked as lawful (rey.
The use of that potent explosive agent,
knows as nitro-glycerine, is attended by so
many hazards that it would seem almost im
possible to guard against the fearful explo
sions that so frequently occur. Tbe most
trival neglect er oversight lo its use may
involve most terrific- consequences. Instan
ces bavo eccured where accidents have been
occasioned by the snail quantity p f this
daugerotis fluid left uodrained from the
vessels containing them No legislation
imposing restrictions or guarding its ute
would avail much in preventing fatal con
sequences for its nte. And yet it is an in
valuable ugeut iu mining utid bUslin
operations. Tbe safest meaap of its use is
therefore a ;reat desideratum; nnd, us ita
mmufasture is but a simple proce.ss, it is
suggested that if manufactured on tbe spot
by those who use it, the dangers attending
it may be avoided. It is osly a mixture i f
niftio acid and glycriue, and even laborers
ui7 be taught safely to combine them.
Nitric and sulphuric acids are generally
kept in gla?s rcs3a!s, and it U necessary to
so glass or porceaia for tba mixing of
scids with the glycerine. The liability of
glass to break in the transportation or use,
is a great obstacle; but in Europe advant
age lias been taking ol a curious property of
iron which by certain simple processes, may
be caused to anmmo what is known as the
passive condition, resisting the action ol the
strongest acids or saline solutions. It is
said that nltro-glyoerine thus extemporane
ously made, need not be purified or wasbed,
as is necessary when tbe product is kept
for a titni, as tbero is no danger ef spon
taneous decomposition.
