The strawberry and ice cream festival for
thobenoBt ef the M. E. Soaday School,
passed off very pleasantlv. laat evening
There wi a Jarga crowd of people In afc-
woainco, and an appead to enjoy them
selves la the highest degree. Tbe Columbia
Cornet Band were present and played a
few piece such as Bait River Gallop, Come
wnoro my low lies Ureainiug, Zula Zong,
Opera from Martha, Ao., la excellent style,
aud Id a niannor that very nearly approach'
ee pcrfeotlon. Aa they volunteered their
services for tbe occasion, they aredeaerving
of great praise. The affair was a success
iu every particular. At Mt $100 will be
realised for the school clear of expenses
Tbe scbool dtisires to return thanks to
Maseru. Weaver, Holmes, Coulter, Barnes
unci others, and to Mrs. Carrie ilall, for
r ilia efficient services reudered by them.
Tho Coiry Ucpitblieaa advocates the
eftiking of a gua well for the purposoj of
eupplying Corry with gas. There is do
. doubt but that a great saving of fuel would
be tte consequence. Such at least is tbe
Ciwejthroiigboul tbsoil rogiou. We know
' utyHevoi'itl iukUnoes wooro the gas from one
well la amply suflluiunt to run a dozen more
auiiuoue particular caie that has oame
uudor our obsurvaiiuu uiue pumpiug wella
are ran by the gu from ouo ulono, aud
considerable allowed to escape at that. It
coats but little to try tbe experiment
itnd the saving io fuel would more than
repay tho expense of sinking a well In a
short time. '
For the following tho Lawreucaburg .In
dependent Is responsible: Tbore is a spring
ou the Kouiusuu lurui,ware told, from which
barrels of oil are dipped. The wator boils
opptrjutly rrom the bowels of tho earth, aud
the oil rises to tbe top ol tbo water. The
oil. it appears, does udt or CAtiuot, flow into
tiiu spring . from any ol tbo surrounding
wells -consequently it must rise with Uio
water. Tuo pnnj is biluak j not fur from

Another Solnttoii of I lie Problem In
i'bilndclphla. g
The problem of petroleum as fuel lias re
ceired another solution in Philadelphia, by
Meters. Whipple & Dickerfon, who, we are
assured, have constructed and patented an
apparatus, which iu itself ingenious, and
which involves a very important scientific
discovery. A local paper says: They do
not employ air for tbe purpose of obtaining
the requisite amount ol oxygen, but water.
By this an ancetnent a current of steam la
made to combine with the vapor T coal oil)
both at an exceedingly high temperature
and the two, whon ognited, are entirely
consumed. Whether tte co.mbinntion of
.team and ga is mechanical or chemical is
a question to ha determined by scientific
men; the practical puiut, hou'over, 1st
notbiuj is lost ull the oil unJ probably all
the water unite in such a way as to produce
au ink-use lent without waste of material
Tho apparatus which thesa geutlemeu in-
vent is not difficult to miders'.urid. A small
boiler, from four to five feel high, contain
ing water is lirot heated with wood, and
s'.enm is caused to How from it to the cylin
der a tow feet high and two and a half IVet
io diameter, and contuiDS within it COO
copper fiibea, through which tua steam
circulates. Ia tbe cylinder and outside tho
tubes, through whicn the steam circulates,
Iu the cylinder and outside the tubes is tbe
coal oi!, tho proper amount of which is
maintaine'l by communication vitb a large
tank. Tho steam from tbe small boiler
beats tho oil and gas is evolved, which is
curried back to tbo little boiler and ignited
The wood cuu now le removed, and this
process will gu on of iliell. Alter tbe water
in this boiler is heated sufficiently to cause
tbo escape of a large qimutlty of gas from
the oil iu the cylinder, (hat gas is carried to
ttio tire-hex of tile main boiler, where it is
lighted. Steam is now given off by tbe
tubes ia tbe main boiler; this passes back
across tbo name ol burning gas ia tbe fire-
boA, and is there healed to a temperature
varying from 000 dvg. to 1,000 deg. Th
steam thus super boated is conveyed through
tbe tubes ic the cylinder containing tbe oil,
more gas is generated aud the process now
goes on witliout the aid ot the little boiler.
The gas is made to pass through sponges at
the top of tho cylinder. Thus tbo foice oi
the curreut of gas is broken, and it at tbe
same time mixes there freely with the steam
which is permitted to leave tbe copper
lubes. Botb steam and gas then go to tbe
nre-oox iniimateiy mixed together, and
both are consumed, or at least most of tbe
steam is destroyed to oxidize tbe carbon io
tbe petroleum gas. Tbe result it there is
no detritus no ashes, ' no smoke, hardly
even the smell of coal oil."
The Titusv ilia Herald says: We under
stand that the controversy In relation to the
ii uc ot a portiou of the Fagundas farm bas
been amicably settled. .The piece in Ques
tion is nine rods wide on the south - aide of
tbe farm, Messrs. Phillips, Glcason, Uo
Gree and Janny setting up some claim ot
title to tbe same by patent or otherwise. It
was stipulated between these parties, and
Kyebart, Grandln and Fisher, tbe purchas
ers of tbe farm, that tbe matter la dispute
should be referred to Judge Brown of War
ren and Mr. Crosby of Corry, and If tbey
failed to agree, Judge Vincent of Erie
should arbitrate In tbe premise. Judge
Vinoent was called In, and alter examina
tion be deteimined Ibat the purchase of
Nyebai t, Grandln and Fisher, ia a valid
one, and their title without defect, a to
boundaries, quantity, and in eveiy respect.
Thus tbo matter rests, aud no litigation will
result.
