The well is doing about as usual, but It
is very evident that her full capacity is not
known; nor will II be until the rope and
tools are taken out. The derrick and en
gine house for that purpose are nearly com
pleted, and early next week the attempt
will be made.
Those competent to form an opinion in
regard to Ibis well, do not hesitate In saying
that, when tubed, the yield will not be less
than 600 barrels per day.
Oil Sexkkhs on the To.vawakda Swamp
Come to Grief. Our persistent oil seeking
friends in the Tonawaoda swamp have come
to grief before tbey came to oil. They re
commenced operations oo or about the 1st
f April last and bad punctured the bow
els of the earth'' to the depth ol about 800
feet, when their drill got fast. They sent
to Tiluiville.i Pa., f,jr gropel irons, and
with these succeeded in raising the drill 200
feet wbeu the craueW became in some wav
entangled, and tbere remain to the present
lime, defying every effort to extricate them.
Mrs. Collins, the owner of the lands, and
the furnisher of the means for the oil search
tone far, is, we are informed, a little dis
couraged, but will not decide to abandon
the enterprise until consultation .with her
partner, Eigbmy, who is now absent. So
says the N. Y. Bitavlan.

Oil Uty Times.
The Times is in error in regard' to the
name of the well. It is known as the
'Venture well," and Is doing over 300
barrels per day. From one o'clock lust
nlgbt until 6 o'clock tbfs morning she meas
ured by actual guage at the rate ol 316
barrels in 21 lours.
A singular phenomena in connection with
the late fire oo the Egbert farm, is that an
hour before and nearly an hour after the oil
tank bad been struck by lightning, there
bad been but little rain and no thunder or
lightning. Tbe bolt wbieb struck tbo tank
was seen by many and appeared to com
pletely encircle it with flame, being accom
panied with a quick but not loud report of
thunder. A son or the Emerald Isle, wbo
bad charge of tbe tank and bad lelt it but a
moment before, and wbo was stunned by tbe
shock, after coming to, remarked: "Be
jabbers I didn't know vot tbo divil stbruck
mo til I saw tbe sblabs a flyin' evry way."
Ttere was a large crowd in attendance
at Dr. Thayer's new Circus, 1 st eveniog.
Tbe performance is first-class in every re
spect. Tbe Dr.. has certainly succeeded in '
getting logelber tbe unest combination of
talent that has ever exhibited under can
vass In tbe oil region. As this even
ing is positively the last performance of Ibe
great company in Ibis place, we bespeak lor
them a crowded bouse. On Monday after
noon and evening tbe new Circus will per
form at Rouseville.

to many of our readers (o learn that, previ
