On Wednesday evening about 10 o'clock,
Station No. 1, Mutual Pipe Co.', took Gre,
and about 600 barrels of oil was destroyed.
Tbe account given by tbe pumper, George
Freeman, is as follows: He, George .Free
men bad gone to tbe stock tank, to draw
off tbe water, and set bis lantern down on
the steps that ran tip tbe tank, and bad com.
menced drawing tbs water, when tbe gas
escaped and .settled around tbe lantern,
when it took Ore, and in a few minutes the
tank burst wilb a tremendous explosbo,
scattering tbe oil far and wide, out into tbe
Clarion River, which, lor half a mile was a
complete sea of writhing flames from shore
to shore.
The beat was so Inteose, that trees and
shrubs far up tbe hillside were scorched "aod
singed. Tii while country was illuminat
ed, and tbe angry roar ol tbe flames as they
licked the o.l from the water could be beard
for miles. Hundreds or people flocked from
the country supposing it to be a conflagra
tion Jn Foxburg. Tbe dense columns of
black smoke and tbe liquid flame, could be
seen for fnil ten miles. Tbe lots, so far as
we can ascertain, is about $3,000..-Peters-.

A Fcnkt Sckx. There was considsra
ble fun at the reoresenation of "Romeo aod
Juliet" In a wretched little theatre during
lhe first French revolution. Madame De
barme, tbe Juliet of tbe occasluo, was lying
dead on the tombstone. It was raining tor
rents; drop came through the roof and
fell on Juliet's nose; she made a face; an
other drop (ell on her eyelids; she winked.
It was a facial expression not taught by
Delsarte. Finally she took to watching Hie
drops and dodging them. Tbe audience
caught the Idea and sympathized with ber.
"Look out, Mrs. Juliet," said ooe fellow,
"there's a whopper a-coming I see III''
"Mind four eye I" said another.
Madame," said a tblrd, rising, "will you
accept the use of my umbrella?"
Of course tbe tragedy ended In a farce.
Tbe Marrying Business.
From tbe St. Louis Republican.
Tbe marrying business received a merited
rebuff in Louisville tbe other day. As very
often bsppens a young lady bad engaged
herself for life to two gentlemen, , one of
tbem she loved, or pretended to, and tbe
other she did n ot love, but the pretentions
wee all the same. By some strange Iresk,
that can only be explained on the ground
that she was a woman, she married the man
who stood lowest in ber virgin affections.
The union did not last long, and in cold
blood she applied for and obtained a divorce.
Then comes tbe other and renews bis sul(
and is accepted; the wedding day Is fixed
and tbe invitations issued. Unexpected
trouble comes, for tbe pastor of tbe church
selected refuses to perform tbe ceremony,
and tbe trus ees decline to open tbeirbonae
for the spectacle. Tbe tickets of admission
bad to be withdrawn, and it was necessary
to make otlur arrangements lor tbe grand
transformation scene In which the two lovtrs
after all their troubles, baving been releas
ed from the demon ot tbe play, were to make
an ascension Into an Imaginary paradise
amid tbe glare of blue lights. Another pas
tor ead another cburcb were found, and tbe
play was enacted. This is degrading nup
tials into tbe coolest kind of business that
can be imagined. We have heard of ladies
wbo found .it d fficult to make a selection
from a number of admirers, but according
to tbe above whim of taking tbs worst first,

Tbe Rome Dally Is rough on represent
ative with the press excursion. It says:
We have received this morning tbe drunkest
letter from our correspondent on the press
excursion that was ever penned. We glean
enough ot sober truth from its Intoxicated
syllables to learn that tbe party were treat
ed superbly In Nashville, are 00 their way

SwiNnLisoDoDOC. Tbeoountry Is again
being flooded with circulars headed "Aittbur
Debenbam, bank not printer, (lately in tbe
Treasurer Department) No. 190 Broad'
way, New York," wbo pretends to bave Im
mense quantities of greenbaoks for sale, and
further asserts that "the money Is cot coun
terfeit, but the real genuine article" that
an over Issue In tbe Treasury Department of
many millions placed tbe large amounts In
tbe bands of tbe printers, and to that Is tbe
reason why It Is offered so cheaply. The
man's instruction to remit by express oqly
and not through tbe mails, Is another iroo
of bis villainous enterprise. Let tbose wb '
desire to keep out ot trouble give these
counterfeiters and swindlers a wide Perth

There are said to be more oases of hy
