Speaking of tbe recent gas explosion at that plaoe, tbe St. Petersburg Progress says: Tkls explosion will teach operators a les son, which, though learned at so fearful a price, oannot but be valuable. In districts wblcb are known to have such great quaotl. ties of gas as tbe Turkey Run region, It is little short of suicide to have the boilers In suob close proximity to tbe derrick. Tbe accident referred to shows conclusively that t tbe gas comes In contact with a sing park, an explosion must Inevitably folio, carrying wlrbil death and destruction. We call tbe special attention of operators to this ubjeel, and hope that It will receive the attention wbioh it deserves, and that here after tbe boilers will be entirely disconnect ed from the engine bouses. It involves no extra expense, eince the engine noose can be made much smaller and the boiler bonee can also be made of such size that engine and boiler houses combined would jost con tain the same amount of material as tne present single engine and boiler bouse.

Brown Farm Letter. Brown Farm, August 8, 1872. Mb. Editor: A. G. Oliver started up a new well yesterday, which bids fair to be a good 6 to 8 barrel welt, or in other words, a "Brown farm well." This well was drilled in just twenty days including two days fishing, actually only 18 days and is about 860 to 80 ;feet deep. The drillers were Elijah Hough and Henry Ribb, and Ibe tool dressers Joebua McCracken and John Altaian. Who beats tbelr timet Powers ft Griffith will get tbelr new well started up to-day. Tbe starting of new wells is now a very common occurrence on tbo Brown farm, while tbe old ones oontioue to do as well as usual. D. E. Crocker Is putting up a bouse on tbe farm. It looks as though Kane City was about to become a suburban village to the Brown Farm City, as many ol its good citizens are comlog to this place to live. Mr. Henry Bibb moves to-day. Mr. James Duncan Is coming to tbe Elliott house. James Gibson Is going to put up a bouse and live here, t We are to have a machine ebop on tbe Metropolitan Farm soon. .Bates ft Co. have eold out there. The old Arm of Sol Id ay ft Anderson have sold out to Lee, Anderson ft Co., wbo are going on to develope tbe Lake farm. Bales and Ira Anderson are going to put down two wells there this summer. Wm.

Plumer Is far In advance of either place, from tbe fact tbat she lias been growing "Buckwheat" upon unused land side walks for two years, which is of itself evi dence of tbe sterling qualities of our com missioners, viz: frugality, industry and economy. Your correspondent from bere signing himself "Bear Creek" will confer a grea1 favor upon me if be would pay a little more regard to truth. In bis letter be made the statement tbat G.
