Pitbolsj Oil Itixr. The Phillips Bros,
of this place, have a well nearly completed
on a hitherto undeveloped -portion of tbe
McCalmool Farm. The show for striking
oil Is said to be excellent.
. The old Haskell well, near the famous
Grant well, on the Uolmden farm, cootie
uos to yield between thirty aod forty bar
rels per day. This will be remembered as
the old well that was reamed out aod drilled
deeper a few weeks since.
A oew well was reeeotly drilled on tbe
same lease, which is said to be yielding ten
barrel per day.
A new wall Is being drilled on tbe same
farm, in tbe immediate vicinity of tbe
Catbolio Chinch.
Below these wells, on tbe point of the
Muff between Helmden Run and Pithole
Creek, a new well has been going down for
several weeks past Tbe third sand was
struck on Thursday, and the drill had pen
etrated it but a few feet, when a tremendous
gas vein was struck, wbiob threw oil, water,
stones, and every movable thing in the well
to the top ot the derrick, wbish caoghl Ire
and burned down, together with the engine
bouse and rig. The gas from this well is
said lo rival that struck in the old United
States well in volume aod fores. A "big
strike" is anticipated. Our Informant did
not learn the name of tbe fortunate owners.
Much excitement is occasioned by this new
development, In Pithole.
A oew well is going down near tbe mouth
ot West Pithole Creek.
Lively times are anticipated in Pithole by
these new strikes.
Considerable excitement was occasioned
this afternoon, on Main street,, by a runa
way, The horses ran lo tbe end of tbe Eg.
bert farm bridge, where they were stopped
by the driver. Two other teams were os
the urlil;e at the time, and it is almost a
mliaole that a serious disaster was avoided.
As the time for tbe opening lecture of the
T. M. C. A. course draws near, our ciliaeaa

their tickets, which ean be procured of eith
er Mr. Thompson, Mr. Nicholson or Mr.
Dickey. A rate Intelleotnal feast is prom
ised, and we ttust our clliseos will aid the
Auociatlou in their efforts lo sustain it.

of smoke burst through tbs ball-way, and
tbs wretched man was left to his fate.

sary for their health during the Summer to
amuse themselves with croquet, oase bal1,

Beautiful morning of light,
Cloudless grace of the sky,
Waters bathing the eight, -Birds
with tbeir minstrelsy,
Singing tbe gUdnesa of day,
Making the fugitive sweet,
Till a red teardrops at my feet,
And summer has vanished away.
Tbe maple tree swings lo etber,
The ripples ara washing tbe sand,
Winds give the waves tbe white feather,
Aud they Sing I t.em back tottielaod;
While tbe black ducks watch tlieirplay ;
But tbe crowding swallows we see
In tbe scarred old juniper tree
Say Summer is wearing away.
Shadows lie dark on tbe hillside,
Sunshine lies warm on tbe shore,
But lite Golden-Rod waves In its pride
And tbe clover blooms no more;
Gone are white blossoms of May,
Their robe is a purple leaf;
And the corn stands ripe In the sheaf,
For Summer is gliding aw y.
Turbulent morning of prime,
Joy of tbe Brat rude endeavor,
Dawn of a blossoming time,
Buds no October can srverl
Tbe violet duys are don,
But tbe Illy flames in his strength,
Aud the oalm ot Autumn at Ittogta
Shall be grand io tne setting sun.

John Guivio, of Decilur, was yesterday
helping to get a sate out of the ruins on
South Water sueet, usur the Union depot.
The men bad got the s Ale neaily up cu tbe
sidewalk whi-n it slipred Lick on tlivm.
This man came along and akpd wbt was
tbe matter with (be sale, aod one of tuem
said It had slipped off the rollers and gone
back on Item, lie aald, "Get out ol my
way," and seizing on it liks Samson, lifted
It up, walked lo tbe wagon with It, ten or
twelve feet, aod threw It on tbe wagon.
He caught it on the bottom edge, raited It
up with tbe force levered against bis breast,
and walked off with it Tbe proprietor said
it weighed 2,464 pounds. He is about five
feet ten or eleven inohrs high, weighs, per
haps 260 pounds, ouiit like a Hercules, aod
about thirty-eight years old. He was a
boss bricklayer in Macon. Chicago Tri

sand bar in tbe neighborhood where tbe
Lexington is reported to have sunk. They
claimed lo be within two feet of the burled

inference is drawn that the "spirit" have
