Werecenlly tnoWri a letter from Mr.
Ellii Bran ion of Philadelphia, In which he
peak of oar oil propfcn, and awnrpi tin
of bia faith that Crawford county will- yet
prove to be good oil territory. . H y:
"I tee by your paper of to-day that GUI X
Shy rock have developed a good gal well.
Ton do not ty bow deep tbey bave gone,
but alate Ibat thoy have gti in anfBcleot
quantitiea to make It of practioal vain. 1
wiab yon bad tbe tamo faith of oil in Craw
ford and Erie County that I bave. .Tbiok
for a moment of the flew ol gai Iron their
well, and of tbe immense amount of It, at
Erie city.
At Union, a few yean ago, In ainklng a
well, they bad a large flow of gaa. On A.
R Ellltooe place, on Woodcock Creek, noar
Lyoa'a Hollow, a few yean ago. I put dowa
well 820 feet for tbe Woodcock Crook Co.
and we bad plenty ef pa. but did not go
deep enough for oil. Where 'there It ao
much ga, I think there li oil to produce it,
aod yet hope ,to ire tbe time when I may
have tbe mao to apare te go 1,500 feet, if
nccesaary, on a tmall ; tract of 30 acre that
I bave, on tbe Cfeek .near Coliioa' Mill. I
have faith that all tbe land about UeadvilU
Erie, and Tltiiaville will be oil producing
territory. Tery little it yet known practie
ally about where there la or where there is
no oil. If any new venluria areatarted for
oil pleaae adviae them lo dij cUtp klead-
rille Republican..
Tux Cabriaub or Phtroletx. Tbe de
tails of tbe late fearful accident on the Hud.
son River Railway, when a Orat-claes pti
senger train 'oame.ln contact with an oil
train, the accident resulting in tbe burning
of several cars and tbo untimely death ol
twenty-one peraoni, are freab in the public
mind, lo view of tbe danger of carrying
crude oil in bulk, a Mr. Goodrich prupoies
in tbe New York Legislature by Ibe,, follow
ing bill lo regulate Ibe transportation of pe
troleum by rail:
Section 1. It shall not be lawful for sny
railroad company In this Stato to trans
port pelrolemn within this Slate, except
in closed and wrought iron tanks of a cyl
indrical shape, capable of supporting one
hundred pouuds per square iucb, and lo
be built of iron of not lea tban one quar
ter of Jan inch is tbickess, capable ofte-
ing hermetically sealed with a man-bole
plate, as now commonly used in steam boil
ers.
If such a regulation is mado law, the din
ger from similar disasters will be con-
iderably lessened, if not altogether over
come.
Church fair swindles bave got a bht from
Chief Justice Bellows, of New Hampshire,
wbo say that all tbe means used to swindle
money out of persons wbo oftlmes cannot
afford to give It, at cburcb fairs aod other
gathering, such as post office, lotteries,
grab bn, guess cakrs, Ao., with the intent
to raise funds for disseminating the gospel,
are recognil d in law as todictabli offenses,
and the proper officers failed to do their
duty were they suffered to pass unnoticed.
If this is good law in New Hampshire, why
not also in every other State which has stat
utes against lotteries?
By reference to the advertisement in an
other column, it will be seen that M'lle Zoe,

by means ot which t he seam or veins of tbe

the veins is drawn towards the well. It
has been ascertained by actual test that the
