which, by the way, taoae of tbe best week
lies thai graces our table, and a credit to
Erie county. Tbe sketch will be found of.
interest as being the opinion ol an outeid
party of tbe oil region:
Tbe oil region la as lively as over. It is
amazing to see tbe stir of business down there
We have been bearing so long f tbat see
lion being "played out" that we had almost
began to believe it was so. But the same
tune is being played still. People are get
ting very rich, (and some not so rich;)
trad is brisk;. tbe oars are crowded and tbe
stroets swarm with people.
Titusville has a new sensation. Large
wells arejbeiDg struck almost within the
city limits, and tbitber turn tbo feet of
eager speculators. Tbe hotels are thronged
and tbe roads loading to Cburch Run, are
filled with parties eager to buy and sell.
Tbe season, at this point, promise to be
a very prosperous one. And tbis point is
familiarly known as tbe ''oil man's para
dise." It is a city of One houses, broad
ntDoets and of well dressed, intelligent
people. Tbe Dally Herald Is a credit to the
place.
Petroleum Centre Is being built un again
and traces of the recent Arc are rapidly dis
appearing. Tbis place basa strange vital
ity. Like some consumptives, It is often
given ever for dead; but it survive many
of better out watd appearance. Tbe new
territory bas not been lound this spring;
but the "4elt" la being searched alter-
There will probably be lound a few acres
more ot Srat-alass territory, before tbe Ceo'
tre is abandoned. Here some of tbe bright'
en business men of the oil region have
lived from the time when Drake struck tbe
first well.
Tbe "cboico spirits" met here- In the enrly
days of oil boring, aud all over oildom you
Hod it representatives. Here tbe "Rko-
onn" is published, a spicy daily, always
welcome on our table. And brre there is
be Central House, hotel, first-class in every
respect, kept by Messrs. Cross Jfc McOmber,
who seem to have been intended expressly
to conduct a house to tbe cotntort and pleas
ure of all their gaesle.
Oil City is growing very rapHly. Four
railroads centre here; It is tbe head-quar
terauf the river men and of the oil shipping
interest generally. Venango City is now a
part of tbe city, and there is talk of a street
railroad, and talk down there generally ends
in imsiuess. One of tbe best proola tbut
Uil City Is going to bo still greater, is seen
in tbe fact that business ineu from other
portions of tbo oil regions are openinx
branch stores down there. For you nmat
know tbat In OiMum men follow the "bell";
wherever tbe business is, there the dealers
dock.
Driftwood is tbe new oil field. It Is on
lb Allegheny river, about four miles from
Oil City, just opposite Reno. Fabulous
prices are being paid for territory, and every
train Is full going down.
Altogether, then, tbe oil country Is a stir
ring place. Long lire to It, and to the many
readers of the Star who reside there.
At Waterloo. Monroe oounty, III , on tbe
29th an explosion occurred at Husey,
Payne k Co.'i oil refinery, with aoDalllnz
effects and resulted in the loss of one thou
sand barrels of oil consumed, and damage to
tbe works to the amount or $23,000. Tbe
report was tremendous and the concussion
so great as to shake buildings two miles
distant. Tbe building, entirely covered
witb iron and intended to be lira proof,
literally blown to pieces, large fragments
of iron rolled up and twisted and burled a
great distance In every direction. Other
buildings connected witb tbe work! and io
the vloinlty were badly damaged, and the
appearance of things around was as though
a lint-class earthquake bad occurred. No
lives were lost. The cause ol tbe explosion
was a mystery.
In Titusville tbe song of tbe season opens
In the following strain:
'Ti tbe voice of the bullfrog
I hear biro complain,

Or be'll bellow again.
The present yield of the Reno Compa
ny's wells is about 225 barrels per day
Five or six wells are now being put down
on what Is known to be iiood territory.

1. lie is tinder conviction foT a homicide

2. He has recently made to all cttltiva -ted
language an important discovery; he
bas at bis disposal neither the time nor tbe
means necessary to perpetuate that discov
ery; and whatever may bebis own fate, tb
discovery should on no account be per
mitted to perish, or to pas again from tbe
knowledge of our race.
These be argues at considerable leogt b,
and In respect to tbe second "pray that a
committee ol such person be immediately
appointed to investigate tbe subject to as
certain the value ot bis discovery, and to
taxe such steps as may be necessary for its
preservation. Ia behalf of those who work

all succeeding ages; In behalf of the cause

Mona Ua3 Wells. Tbe Painesville, O.,
Advertiser, says:
"Tbe gas well which i beiug sunk by
Messrs. Jennings & Casement, on Mr. Jen
nings' farm, is now down about three hun
dred feet, at which depth a sufficient
amount ba been found to run tbe engine
with which tbo drilling is done. They in
tend to drill seven hundred feet, unless tbe
desired amount of ga ia sooner reached,
with which tbey Intend to light and heat

and wood."
Tbe National cos well at Buffalo has
reached depth ot five hundred and binety
lour feet. A vein of mineral water has
been struck, which was thrown out with
considerable force, and accompanied by a
coua iderable volume ofsas. The water it
is said bas been pronounced by experts to
be similar in its chemical constituents to
the celebrated Plantagenet springs of St.
Catharines.
Tow-en ion LliSS tuas Notui.x'o The
Philadelphia Trade Journal announces a
discovery, by which petroleum can he used
Tor fuel, aud the waste product be sold at a
lijibter price than tbe crude oil costs. The
theory is that the lighter and more volaiile
constituents of the mineral oil will be con
sumed, leaving tho heavy lubricating fluid
in tbe furnace. Tbe residue is tbe more
valuable part of the petroleum, and Is sep
arated in the combustion ol tbe other com
ponents. The description includes among
other novel features, a lour-borse engine
which was run fur, ten boms at a expenee
of ufty-Ove cents.
Our refineries, upon this principle, could
afford to sell their refined oil and benzine
for noibing, lor tbe sako ol making a
profit upon tbe lubricating fluid which
remains. The assertion is palpably ab-
surb.
A young mao recently wrote to a New
xork paper, asking whether it would be
advisable fur hi in to marry "a young aud
tender angel who badl never done ber own
washing or dressmaking." In rply, the
editor advised blm to do so by ail means,
and mentioned a similar case in bis own
experience, where tbe bride had never done
ber own Washing, but afier marriage she
became so fond of tbe wasbtnb, as not only
to work for ber own family, but for seversj
families among her acquaintances.
