M iple Shade Oil Company, owners ol the
Hyde A Kgbert larin, have had workmen
employed In sinking a new well on tie low
er end ol tboir property, a abort distance
Iruin this plase. This well was completed
on Friday lastk and testing commenced on
baluriiay, Up lo.yosterday the water bad
been only partially exhausted, aod the welj
ws producing fifteen barrels pec day. As
soon as the wtrr is thoroughly, exhausted
an iuureasd of production ia looked fur.
Considerable Importance ia attached to the
striking of this well, as it demonstrate the
li.oi that oil exists in paying ((iiantities on
that farm yet, alt hough many lubored un
der the impression that the surface water
bad tan in and flooded the territory.

agreed to take him over the river. After
pulling lato thefstream the skiff was turned

the men never answered a word, aod con-

issued immediately and two ol the parlies
were taken into custody. The officers wore
on the track ot the third, with the prospect
of arresting aim.
By reference to the communication pub

Township School Directors bave awarded
the contract for building the new school
house in this place to our townsmen, Messrs.
Wilson, Ilook aod other. A school bouse
has long been needed In this place, and we
incline to the belief that our citizens will
rejoice even at this late day tbut ouo is to
be built. From the well koowu reputation
of the gentlemen having the contract our
citizens may rest assired that the wotk will
be executed in a first-claps manner. We
shall publish tbo dimensions of the new

Kenyan's New Double Acting Oil Pump
e ui'itiiowiriiuiMi io ue ine nest pump now
in use. One ot its leading features is that
it not only produces a cunticnous How ol
oil or other fluid, but that it creates und
sustains a constant and powerful suction,
by means ol which tbe seams or vein of the
well are in a ureal measure cleared of pnra
line and oilier obstructions, and I tie oil in
the veins la drawn towards the well. It
h .8 been nceit.nned by aelunl test that the
use of tb's puutp oanses a gradually Increas
ing How ui oil. It i,i well known by oil
operatore that this improvement is of great
vnliie, and one that has been lonu souuht
f(.r. The ablest mechanics of our country
bavu lor years been at work trying lo find
out some new and untried plau to prolong
the life time ol an oil well; and nothing yel
to our knowledge loin been brought before
the public that in any wuy equals tbe power
ol the Kenyoo Pump, experience having
ttauitbt that It is the long continued suc
tiou that bas the power to keep up and In
crease the produclion nf oil wells. Oil
operators are relerred to Mr. Geo. Boullon,
