here, the owners of tbe well bave applied it
diswetly to an engine as a motive power in
place of steam. The Republican says:
Yesterday morning (April 9) Mr. J. B.
Knight, ageut of tbe Watettown Steam En
gine Company, aunk a drove well in tbe
rear of bis offlc, with a view to getting a
aupply of water, and when at the depth of
forty-six feet a sudden and very powerful
draft of gat waa observed t flow from the
month of tbe pipe. He Immediately closed
the pipe, tbiokl ng to utalize tblt gat for
illuminating purposes, but found the pres
sure too great, when the Idea then struck
bim todirect it into tbe boiler of one of bte
engines and experiment with It in making
steam. But np sooner bad tbe connection

Sobel't Opera House was crowded with
people, last evening, who bad assembled to
listen to Gen. Kllpatrick's celebrated mU.
tary lecture entitled, '-Battle Scenes and
Iuoidenti of tbe Rebellion." Tbe leoture Is
everything that bat been said or written re

scenes of Lookout Mountain and Mission
Ridge were rendered with a vividness that
almost carried one back lo tbe '-dark and
bloody dayt of the rebellion," and in Imag
ination again to march and battle on many
a sanguinary field. The humorous eketohet
of military and camp lile were well render
ed. On tbe whole tbe leoture gave general
satisfaction, and tbe hope it expressed that
tbe General will deliver bit lecture again at
tome future time.

A correspondent of tbe Pittsburgh Com
mercial, writing from West Hickory,
says:
The decrease In Ibe production bat not
not been so noticeable during the' past
month as during tbe month of February,
tbe use of tbe patent gas pumps keeping up
tbe production to tome extent Tbe intro
duction of these pumps into tblt section
oaused quite a sensation among soma of our
heaviest operators. At they are ouly used
on territory that it about played out, they
claimed that those using them were rushing
tbe season, and that they would bring
things to a focus here sooner than was ad
visable; but Ibe majority dldjnos look at it
in tblt light, and consequently about every
other well btt one in operation.
There are several wells golnff down in
this vicinity, but tbe chances for hundred
barrel well era somewhat meagre. Tbe
Ecooomltes bave struck a ton barrel well on
the opposite tide of the river, about two
miles from here. Tbey bave two otber wells
rapidly approaching completion, which will
be tested In a few days.
Tbe shipments for last month will foot up
a total of twenty thousand barrels.

sends the following interesting account of
the juvenile town of tbe oil regions: "Pren
tice Station is situated, on the Allegheny
Valley railroad, three and a half milts from
Oil City, and about midway between there
and Franklin. Ta days ago trtlne run by
tbe place at full speed. Prentice Station
wat unknown, for no station was there, not
even a side track on the railway. Row
mark the chaage wrought in less than a
forlolght. Every passenger train of the kl
legheny railway now make a stop here; a
new tiding Is In, a elatlon-boute erected, a
lumber-yard started, lots surveyed prepara
tory to building, and, oa the average, fifty
to a hundred passengers arrlv at tbe new
made station by every train, This is the
work of a four-inch bale in tbe ground, in
other vords, an oil well a mile from tbe
railroad, which is yielding a hundred bar

at tbe shops of the Delaware, Lackawaona

clue to Its Identity. The hands in Ibe
shops bad been drinking water Iretn tbe

are going up, and several wells are expected
to be tested within a couple of weeks.
