New Wells. Our old friend Adams is
again in luck to the tuue of 250 barrels oi
oil per day. 'McCray ft Adtmi well No. 2,
McGray farm, was completed yesterday,
tubed last night, and commenced testing at
midnight, striking oil almost immediately
after pumping Logan. Shu is now yielding
B good 250 barrets per day. Tbe well has
about 42 feet of tbird eaod-rock, and a
strong volume of gas. Wo aro p leaned to
again record Mr. A.'s good fortune. ' Know
Ing the history of bis bald struggles ngaiust
the tide of ill-luck that almost engulphed
biui, as moat of our citizens do, bis success
bas caused rejoicing among bis friends, who
could not be much butler pl'nased bad tbey
struck big wells themselves. Wo bopo bis
good fortune may continue.
Phillips & Boyles well No. 5, McCray
farm, was also completed and tubed lust
Light. At starting it yielded nothing, and
many predicted a "dry hole.'1 Upon draw
ing the tubing, however, it was found that
tbe valves in tbe working-barrol were clog
ged up. This duteot was remedied and the
well commenced pumping this morning at
tbe rate of 250 barrels per day. It prom
isos to be ono of tho largest wells on tbe
pill.

Vrowtn, of Pctrolia, On t.
Less than half a dozen years sinoe tbo
oil welts at Pettolia wure few and tho vil.
lago hardly commenced, while thu scattered
population toiled nt their respectivo cccu
patioas scarcely knowing each other. Fire
years tbe coming December, on the occa
sion of a visit to this place,1 wo had to dm e
at a private houso, and the main stwet of
tbe village bad tbe appearance of a conces
sion road. But now hotels, business places
and private reeldenccs present a ploasin g
appearance, aul the wholo population Ib
believed to be bordering upon 4,000. Tho
spirit of enterprise is visible in every direc
tion, and the people are not more world
lings, as tbe commodious churches, religi
ous bodies, town hall, public balls and
excellent tcbools prove. Tho lock-up is
seldom occupied, crime is of raro occurence
la this place and vicinity.
As to oil wells, they can now bs counted
in groupes by tbe score, and refineries have
gjown to be institutions of the place. New
wells aro almost daily commenced, capital
liberally supplied, and employment given
to the masses; thus is prosperity ensured,
and the spirit of progress is onward. While
it will be our cheerful duty to record tbe
oil yield j and development, it will be
gratifyiug to be enabled from time to time
to notice tbe general improvement not only
of Petrolio and neighborhood, but also the
whole Dominion. Pelrolia (C. W. ) Ad vcr

Clown Oct op Doors. At Corry a few
nights since, a merchant in Soneca street
gave an impromptu exhibition of tbe uses
of gas. Of course everybody was proud of
having tbo illuminator started, and of
course soma of the gas pipes leaked. Tbe
merchant's store emclledj especially strorg,
and it appeared to be densest in tho box
sbsped show window. Some ono advised
bim to light a match. so as lo ascertain where
(be leak was, and, holding his nose while
performing tbe operation, bo went to tba in
ido of the window, struck a match, and
landed on bis back on the pavement, with
broken glass all around him. lie now con.
aiders the expediency of hunting for gne
leaks with lighted matches as more than
questionable.
A reminiscence of l'arrnyut tells this

night. I lake a glass with my dinner, but
when going into action, I never allow my
self to take a drop of any kind of stimulant.
For when my counlry has trusted ma with
gravo respom-ibilitiis, I could not bear the
thought of doing any thing that might lead
mo lo distrust myself, or might shako the
confidence sof oClcers and men in my com
mand. To do my duty I must respect my.
