' The Ore was occasioned as follows: The workmen of the Niagara Oil Co. were engaged in run ning oil into tbe Central Transportation Co's tank No., 13, when owing to some neg ligence tbe tank a 500-barrel one was al lowed to overflow, no one discovering it un til the oil dad ran down the Run as far as the Chambers tract, about a quarter of a telle below, at which point it took Are rrom a gas llghtli one of tbe wels,.and in an -jr uior ui unmes. rne flreoxsC 3as f4r M tuo receiving Unki tgaf1"1' wilD contents, was entiffiajWrojeeJ. , The lire spread rapidly to. tbe adjoining tracts with disas trous effect.

This is the best well on the Allegheny river and probably tho. best in Venango county to day. . ' "- Tbe McDonald well, about three hundred feet farther up the hill, on the Ha in by Farm adjoining Snyder Farm, ct which mention was made some time ago ns doing twenty-five barrels, baa been torpedoed, and is now doing eighty barrels. The Prentiss and Angel well, ' junl, put down on tbe Snyder farm, makes au excel lent show, and is gcod for a fifty or seventy Ave barrel well. This opens up a large tract of territory yet undeveloped. The Pblladelpkia.aod Boston Company bas mado a good strike on tiuiir territory on the face of the bill, from the lower trestle at Foster. This well started at about four barrels, was torpedoed last week, and is now doing one hundred and twenty bbls. This is tbe latest strike about Foster, and is causing considerable excitemont. Direct on tbe oil belt, across the river, In line with well No. 75, Snyder farm, are the Foster and Rial proprty. Tbe former, In exhaustible as It appears to be, siiil muin- tains its reputation; the latter (Rial proper ly,) adjoining Foster, but yut undeveloped, hat everything in Its favor to be good ter ritory. These strikes will undoubtedly cause lively times around Foster tiiu com ing season. Tomorrow Garduer 4 J.

A firo occurred on Wed nesday night last on the Osborn Reserve Of the Big Tank Farm, Cserrytree Run, which destroyed tbe derrick, engine house, &o ., of the Osborne well. It appears that tbe well hud been torpedoed Wednesday, and during tbe night commenced flowing through the cosing and thence through the gas pipe Into tbe fire-box beneath the boiler, wheio firo was communicated which resulted as above, Mr. Osborne's loss is about $1,000. The well is still flowing at tbe rate of 12 bar:els per day. Elsewhere we publish tho request of the Republican citizens. of Oil City that. Mr. W. J.

The personality of tlt gentleman in black has been set at rest. The question was set tled at Moorevllle, Ind., thu other day.

Now arises tbe interesting question, whether, if there be. anything satanio about this skeleton, it proves the original demon to be dead or alive. Daniel Webster oncoj said: "There is nothing upon this earth that can compare with the lailbful attachment of a wile; no creature, who, for the ot ject of love, is so indomitable, so preserving, so ready to dio.
