The well at Kissingers, in Madison town ship is down about 1,200 feet, aod still drill ing. It Is thought they are eutering the third sand. Tbe gss from tbe well lights up tbe whole country aronnd. A thirty barrel well was strnek two miles south of Tltusville on Saturday, on new territory. Extensive developments will be made in that neighborhood tbis sesson. Mr. Abraham James, Alliance Well No. 1, oa Blyson Run, Millcreek township, Clarion conoty, Is now down over nine hun dred feet, and is in the third sand rock with a heavy stream of gas now comlogoutoftbe bole. Tbey have sunk some 12 feet inte tbe sand roek, and lb driller declare tbe evidence unmiatakable, now, for a good oil territory.

On Tuesday last tbe wife of Mr. Milton Nicholas, of Lawrsnc township, Clearfield county, gave ber baby a few drops ot lauda num, and then placed tbe vial containing the drug on a chair. A short time after having given tbe baby tbe laudanum, Mrs. Nicholas observed that ber little girl, two years old, bad lain down and gone to sleep. Tbe child not awaking for some hours, tbe mother became alarmed and attempted to arouse it, but failing to do so, she sent for a pbjslclso, wbo upon examination, pro nounced tbe child dying from some canse. Upon investigation it was apparent that tbe obild had obtained possession of tbe vial and drank a large portion of the laudanum. Every effort was made to restore the little girl, but Id vain, and she died some six or sight hour after having taken the poison ous drug; Venango Citizen. It baa been decided by the proprietors of the Beaver Fall Cutlery Works to employ Chinese labor in operating theire xtenslve es tablishment, and one of tbe objeots of John Reeves, Esq., to California and China, pos sibly is to secure as good and favorable a contract as may be made with three to five hundred of these people. Now that tbe Road Commissioners have oleaned up and removed tbe filth on Wash ington street, they desire us to request tbe business men uot to deposit ,asbes or filth on tbe street. Tbe roquest is a reasonable one and should be acceded to. l 'ineiVoiiDeii via vumiu j ' This company, which may safe be called Iba king of tbe oil companies, was chartered by tbe Pennsylvania Legislature May 1st. 1861, with a eapltal of $200,000, divided into 10,000 shares of $25 each. It commenced operations on tbe Story farm, situated on Oil Creek, about seven miles from Its mouth. During the year Its production ol oil was 20,800 barrels; In 1862 It bad Increased to 80,602 barrels. Its first dividend was declared July (tb, 1863, but little over two years from tbe date ol It' Charter, and was lor thirty per cent, on Its cspltal stock. Tbis wsa followed on the 12th of August by a second for 25 per cent, another for the same amount September 0th and still another on the 14th of Ootober for 69 percent. making In all, dividends to tbe amount of 130 per cent, on tbe capital stock witbin two and one-ball years of tbe formation of tbe company. In 1864 ita pro duction Increased to 141.608 barrels. Dur ing tbo first six months of tbis year it de clared four more dividends amounting to 160 per cent, on Us capital stock. At this time Its oapital was incressed to $2,600,000, and It once declared a dividend of five per cent, on tbis Increased capital and belore tbe close of tbe year five more mak ing In tbe aggregate twenty-five" ptr cent. From that date to the close ot tbe year 1871 its production of oil bss been remarkably uniform tbe minimum amount being 140, 655 barrels In 1867, and tbe maximum 142, 034 barrels iu 1871. Tbe whole amount of otl produced by tbe company during tbe ten years of its opera tions Is 1,716,972 barrels, and the whole amount of its divideuds $2,252,600, or 401 per cent, on its capital stock; and yet after ten years of active development but a small part of ita land has been even touched, and tbe part wbere developments have been made is cipatle.of receiving as many more wells as have been already sunk upon It; and although tbe fortunate owners of its stock bave already received a princely re turn for their Investment, there is no reason to doubt that these dividends can be main tained or even incressed almost at pleasure for years to come. Tbe history of tbis com psoy, as we bsve endeavored to give It, Is oue ol figures, not words; but from these fig. ures some Idea can be formed of tbe vast wealth still lying bidden in tbe crevice6 ol the rock, only needing tbe band of skill and the direction or prudent managers to bring It loto tbe service of man. Touch tbe point of a pencil ever so lightly upon a map of the oil region, and a larger , proportion of the territory wbicb is known to be oil pro ducing is covered tbao tbe whole property of this company. Touch a pencil again upon a map representing tbe laud of this company, and tbe spot covered by the mark may represent tbe developed portion of tbe land, and Irotn this speck of ground ulgbiy millions of dollars worth of oil has been Jsold. National Oil Journal. The VlCBSburg, ,(Miw.) Herald vouchee for this, If true, certaiuly a very remarkable fact: "In tbe blooming, beautiful, balmy May of 1863, one of those dreadful battle stsined years never to be forgotten. General Tllisbman fell shot dead, at tbe battle of Champion Hill, gallantly struggling In de fense of bis cherished principals. His no ble life ebbed away on tbe spot wbere be fell, and tbe sad earth drank his blood with greedy tbirstiness. But upon that immed iate spot grew a peach tree that bad reach, ed maturity, while its roots steeped thetn selves in tbe martyr's blood. Singular to relate, tba leaves aod fruit of this treo are a b ood-red color. Tbe tree was transplanted and Is now In tbe orebsrd of Dr. J. L. He bron, of this county. The propagations from this tree are ol tbe same peculiar color There is something very peculiar about tbis. We bave seen the leaves, aod must confess they do look and even (to ns) smell like blood. Tbe tact can be witnessed by those taking the trouble."
