The well is located about the centra of tho

niri aana rocic. inn la tbe biggest strike
that bas occurred on tbe farm for a long
time. Tbe well la tbe property of tbe Col

This morning while Mr. Jacob PcQer. in
tbe employ of th- Columbia Oil Co., was
engaged in uiakjng gas connections trom tbe
sew well to I he big boiler, on that farm, an
explosion of gas occur rod, by which be waS
badly burned about tbe lico and arms, hut
fortunately inhaled no flame Inwardly. Tbe
point wbure he was at work I about thirty

gas settled to the ground owing to the dense
atmosphere, and firs was communicated
from tbe furnace. . .
A friend bas handed us the following npi

A "Wmii" Costi mb. An amusing story
is told by tbe Key. J. G. Wood In bis re
cently published "Natural History of Man,"
illustrative of. the power exorted by f.tsulon
even on snvau minds. It appears that an
English vessel reached an African port, a
large part of her caro consisting ofiron
wire, nearly the whole of which was oiig' t
by tbo natives and straightway disappeared
tbe crew being left to corj' cture what had
become ol it. But soon the solution of the
mystery was found , for the Ku.tir Mle ap
peared in a new and striking costume.
Soma ofthetii had visited towns inhabited
by Europeans, and there tad seen sntno
wire '"cages" hanging outside drapers shops,
and which tbey were told were the fashion
able attire of European ladies. This fact so
find theui to emulation that as soon as tbe
boat laden with wire appeared, they trnded
for the new crmmodity, went away and
mado "cages" such as they had seen, and
with them adotned their charms, not having
the slightest idea that anything but wire
was necessary to put them in lull European
costume.

Concerning the jircpeetivo connection of
Titusvilld with Tidiouto by railroad, the
Warren Mail states that the Now York Cen
tral Kailrond is negotiating for the purchase
of control of the Dunkirk and Warren Rail
road,, with a fair prospect of succeex. In
this event it will become no important
thoroughfare, giving tho Central sects) to
the oil regions directly and tdding largely
to its already heavy carrying trade. Ship
pers of oil would if course be benefited by
this competition for freight, and the public
generally who consume oil and coal wonli
be very likely to share in its advantages.
In connection with this is n movement
among capitalists for the cocstrustioa of a
railroad from Tidiouto to Titucville by way
of South West, resulting probably In the
construction of a connecting line between
Warren aud Tidioute on tho other Bide cf
the river, for. which tbere is already a good
charter.
We aro informed by a gentleman jut up
from Franklin, tha' the worthy citizens of
that city wero shocked this morning to find
at a poiot near the Street Commiiis;oner'i
residence, where the mi d In the road is sup
posed to be unfathonial je, a board rvpre
sentinga tombstone sticking up in the mud
on which wsb written the following inscrip
tion: "Sacred to the memory of Street
Commissioner , who miserably per
ished by drownUij?, while attempting to
cross, at a l ite hour last night." Whether
tbe remains were found or not our Inform
ant did not learn.
Much merriment was occasioned this fore
noon by tbo appearance of a boat where tbe
mud was tbe deepest, in which wai the fig
ure of a man. On the boat was painted
the lolloping: "Free ferry for taxable cit
izens." At the Court n&t In susuion at Franklin,
the following persons charged with selling
liquor without licenso, keeping bawdy
bouse, &C, received sentence:
Mcllie Robinson, $200 fine aad ten diys
imprisonment.
Maggie Munger, 5150 flue and ten days
imprisonment.
Mrs. Sargent, $155 fine and ten dave lei
prisonment. ' .
Julia Itico, $110 fine and ten days Iinpris

The Boston Herald tells the followinc
good one: "A little fellow was begging
for 'co!d vittola' at a housa at the South

reply, acaompanied by a fresh flow of
