o'clock tble p. m. Tbe derrick,, engine
bouse an diank containing considerable oil,
were burned. We arc not advised as to
ibc amouaiof the loss, but uoduwtand it is
quite heavy.
The streets are filled with rumors In re
gard to tbe big well at Foster Station, and
she production Is rated all tbo way Irom 100.
to 600 barrels pet day. As soon as tbe
'bead" is worked off tbe production will
probably decrease. We rather doubt its
yielding as much as Is claimed for It
Griffes Bros, are selling of! their large
and extensive stock of wall paper and bor

Quite a number of the boys were oivt on

Tbe Roueevillo Bullotia of Saturday even
log Bays:
Au fcoldont occurred 09 tbe ITanna farm
iMt evening, by wblcb a man in the employ
of Mr. I. S. Gibson, Suparintentlent of tbe
farm was near losing his 1 if. It appears
that parties were employed in withdrawing
Iba tubing, and Mr. vantine, one of the
number, was up in tbe derrick about forty
feet above the floor. As tbe work was pro
gressing, tbe tubing parted, and permitted
tbe gas to escape, wblcb filled tbe eurronuii
lug atmosphere and penetrated tbe engine
bouse, took fire trom tbe furnace, and with
a report like tbe disobarge of a heavy piece
ot ordnance flashed back to tbe derrick
and completely enveloped everything in
(lamer. Tbe men at work on tbe floor ol
tbe derrick escaped without barm, but with
Mr. Vantine tbe case was difl'erent. He
with a presence of mind which has in times
past made men famous in history, seized
bold of tbe rope by wblcb the tubing was
bolng withdrawn and let himself down
through tbe seething flames and escaped
itb tbe loss of hair, beard, and tbe greater
portion of bis clothing. Tbe iti juries be re
ceived from tbe flames were very severe
and painful, and it will be many days be
fore bo can resume bis avocation. Hit es
cape from a horrible death by being roast
ed alive is oue of tbe m ost wondoiful on re
cord.
Buiixino Vll. In well No. 11, on the
Angell & Prentice Tract, near Foster, on tho
Allegheny river, a vein of gas and oil was
Bttack this raorulng at 7 o'clock, throe feet
in tbe third sand. Tbe well took lire soon
alter being struck, and was still burning at
latest dates, A pipe was arranged to carry
tbe oil away, and through this it is pump
ing at tbe rate of fully 150 barrels per day.
Oil City Register.
We learn from parties who arrived from
Foster, last evening, that the well is flow
log from 300 to 400 barrels per day.
Tbe production is probably over estimated
somewhat.
A Parker's Landing correspondent of tbe
Erie Dispatch says:
Tbe midnight whistle at this place is
one of tbe wonders of tbe world. At exact
ly 12 o'clock you bear a shrill wbistle.tben
another, and another till all the flats and
sharps are eounded la about Beven octaves.
The engineers and firemen, at tbe bun
dreds of different wells, have comtneoed the
home munufaoture ot whistles from old
tubing. Some wells contain as many as
thre, and daily additions are being made
They are for wakiog tbe workmen, prepara
tory to entering' upon the duties of tbe

continues the noise will be utterly indescrib
able.
Poor Boston t It snubbed Fisk and his
regiment, and Fiitk then executed a flank
movement on tbe Governor of Massachu

bis regiment to gn to Volcano, or'any other

ernor wai more courteous, bo risk bas
written a letter to the it ay or concluding
with ibis stiugert: ''Having waited a si fflc
lent lime for your decision, aud my regi
ment not having received from you tbe
courtesy of a reply, I bavo applied in tbe
name of tbe regiment, to his Excellency tbe
Gov, rnor of tbe Commonwealth for permis
sion to enter jour ally, and he bas most
courteously and promptly granted tbe re
quest. I beg, therefore, that you will re
lieve tbe Common Counoil from further con
sideration ol'lbe subject, as tbeir action or
Inaction is a matter of perfeot Indifference
to the geutlemen under my command."

The I'orrysvillo correspondent of tbo

Our oil Interosls are still flourishing as

are contemplating operations. Kern &
Noes have secured a part of the Mcllwalne
& Latshaw farms, and are going to put a
"wild cat" well on the same. Tbe eUl
Hagantown well, which was pronounced a
failure by tbe company wbicb put it down
has never ceased to produce a small amount
of oil, but not beiog deep enough it was no
fair test of tbe territory. We undortand it
is to be drilled deeper in a short lime. By
such proceedings the development of terri
tory is olten deluyed, whereby the proprie
tors of land suffer lots, and companies them
selves get in bad repute. If a thing is
worth doing, it Is worth doing right there

tract and lojlt to the lutores IB of tbe com

Also, an act fixing tbe bonus to be paid

Thorns are to tbe rose protective,
Corns but render toes detective;
