From tbe special correspondence of tbe
Pittsburgh Commercial we copy tbe follow
ing in regard to tbe big well on Armstrong
Run:
Brady's Bend, So?. 9, 1870.
Tbe greatest of tbe oil ejoitement having
concentrated at tbis point, a line or two of
Information in reference to it may not be
without interest to your readers. It Is gen
erally conceded that Ibis is tbe best terri
tory yet developed. In no Instance has
there been a failure, and all of the wells
have proved to be payiug Institutions, none
of tbem flowing less than one hundred bar
rels per day on an average. Pumps are
unheard of, and engines useless except for
drilling. I am not certain as to tbe date or
the first wells put down, but these were re
garded at tbe time as doubtful experiments
and having proved in both instances succee,
faliventutYf, tbe excitement gradually In
creased until Tuesduy last, wben tbe Jen
nings well struck and flowed largely,
aud then fell off to about one hundred and
sixty barrels, until to-day, wben tbo flow
was five hundred barrels, being a steady
stream through tbice pipes.
Tbe two wells pf Dr. Jamee are doing
well, and tbe Doctor's Ion ol two hundred
barrels by tbe fire on Sunday wil baldly
affect bis good natuie. He is well known
in yout city, and bis many Iriends congrat
ulate bim on bis good success.
The great, point ot interest (or tbe past
two days has been tbo Meldrum well, wbicb
did not disappoint Its niy uetf-withers,
and is dow tiowiag at tbe rate of 1,200 bar
rels. Tbe excitement Is intense, and every
lease in tbe immediate vicinity ' has been
taken, and a dozen..wall will be progress
ing downward in. a few dsys. Parties in
your cjty are Interested to seme extent
in a number of the leases receutly giv

Bend Iron Company being ooe ol tbe lucky
purchasers. Tbis farm Is now valned at
$200,000, sod not for sale at any price.

Tbe conclusion of the armistice was Irst

Tbe conditions of tbe armistice are tbe

the border at Gerognancy, Swiss troops are

Berlin, Nov. 4.
The North German Gnuetto to-day says:
Before tbe capitulation or Melz, Buzaine
ordered bis men not to destroy or throw
away- their arms, because if they were sur
rendered to tbe Prussians they would be
restored at tbe close of tbe war, along with
all the fortresses, etc. .

A emnarkable series of foils has been, it Is
said, found In tbe Yellowstone river, in
Montaua Territory. According to the ac
counts we get, tbe river is several hundred
yards wide. Within s)xty yards above the
lirat till, it makes three plunges, respective
ly ten, tilteen and tweruty feet in height.
At tbe orink it has narrowed down to about
thirty yards in width, audgushiug' in one
huge volume of froth between two boulders
fifty feet in height, it ia almost lost from
sight in tbe midst of tbo canon below, tbe
perpendicular height, of tbe fall being a
hundred and tweo ty feet. At its foot tbe
water strikes a shelving rock, and shoots
out horizontally a diatauce of twenty leet
Rusbing on through a deep and narrow
gorge a third of a mile, tbe river wideos
out to lorty yards and takes a second plunge
falling this timo a distance of three hun
dred and fifty feet, or more tbao twice tbat
of Niagara; Tbe water here enters a chasm
eighteen miles long, and varying In depth
from; seven hundred to fifteen hundred feet.
So deep is this gorge tbat the roar of tbe
cataract can scarcely be beard a quarter of
a mile distant, and so steep are tbe banks
tnat tbo foot of tbe falls is wholly inac
cessible.- Another great natural curiosity
in tbe same region is said v to be the Fire
Hole Basiu, on tbe Madison river, wbicb .
is lull of springs o( '.boiling water .like tbe
Iceland Geysers, with vents varying from
three to fitteen leot in diameter, and send.
ing up columns of water from sixty to two
hundred and twenty feet In height. If
these stories are ttue, M ootsnn ouuhl to
rival tbe Yo So a lie Valley as a field for

A remarkable case of suspended anima
tion recently occurred at Washington, D.
C. The. remains of a young lady, sixteon
years-ofege, daughter of Capt. Freerer,
were found to bo quite limber, alter bavii'
been brought from Maryland In a close cof
fin. By thealdj of a galvanic . flVtery a
pulse of five beats to tbe rqlnute was pro
duced, but tbe ddfetor wafinsliy compelled
to desist, on tbe sad conviction tbat all
further attempt at resusoitalion would be
fruitless. He was ofoplnion, however, that
bad mad leal assistance been rendered at an
earlier period, tbe life or tbe young lady
would nave been saved.
BE TRUE. '
Tbou mutt be true thyself,
If tbou tbe truth would'st teach f
Thy. soul must overthrow, If.tbou
Another's soul would'st reaeb;
It needs tbo overflow of heart
To give tbe lips full' speech.
Think truly, and thy thought
Shall the worlds famine feed;
Speak truly, and each word of thine
Shall bo a faithful seed;
Live truly, and 'thy II fe shall be
A great and noble creed.
