Herald of thii morning sayt:
A oew well wa itrnck at tlx o'clock yes
tuday morning onto Abbott A O'Har
tract id the Ociav Dlstrlol about one and a
ball mile couth of thii city. Tb (and rock
was (truck at a depth of 850 feet, and when
tba drill penetrated two feet further oil
commenced to flow, spouting at Intervals of
mooui nan an nour to lb height of on
hundred feat The tool wer Immediately
witbdrawo, and the foroe of tbegu prevent-
a in men irom drilling any further.
Lad evening . however, they determined,
the fSrc ol gaa having Mmewhal diminish
ed, to try and drill deeper. Tb boiler is
bout 125 yards from the well, which ii.coo
tdered a safe distance, the gas being be
yond the reaob of lire. This well make a
batter snow than any other thus far struck
In tb Octav District. Tb land Interest
I owned by Hugh O'Haie, Win, Abbott
Thomas C. Weaver aud Joseph Dixon, be
log on Iraot of Dfty acres In fee. The
owoer of lb woiking Interest have leased
the greater' portion of this tract on which
tb well stands. Their names ar Thomas
C. Weaver, A. Purtill and Joseph Dixon.
Tb well wa yesterday visited by large
BBmtuiv nf anaAiilftiiira and nlhM This

was the Brat to nenelrate. Thai It is blabs
)y piollds twlwejm Oil Creek and Beonehoff

urewgasl operators consider it only a ques
lion ol Uma whan the whole or this Ho be
tween (bete two point, will be mad to
lld aa largely as any 9f t fraoti lo tbl
loinuy.
COHHXMig
There Is not the least doubt I) tb mlod
of aperatora but that the bU on waleb. 4b
new flowing well is located, extends all the
wsy down psnoeuuff Run, and aonoect at
some point on Tan Run with tt oil belt of
this vtolnlty. Leases sr beltg rapidly ta
ken op on tb territory between the two
points, aod anticipate lively time U
developing la tbl vicinity soon. 6everal
rllo ire alnady going dowa at this end
me bell, and maoy woo nav leases are
holding off until they are floisbed, in order
to more distinctly tract tb supposed belt.
With the opening up of this new develop
ment we predict a revival of business of all
kinds along Oil Creek from Tlttuvllle to Pe
troleum Centra and below.
We might add here that tb new well Is
ooly four feet In the sand, and it Is thought
when drilled through tb rock it would
produce more than double Its present yield.
To-morrow is tb day when It is predict
ed by celebrated European savant, the
Plantamour Comet will knock Ibis mundane
sphere Into minute fragments. We would
advise sinners to eommesee repenting at
once aa tb time Is growing short. Ooly a
few hour Intervenes In which to become
good. There will probably be a rattling of
dry bones in the event of suoh a eatastrophe
among certain old sinners we wot of. Keep
stiff upper lip, gentlemen, and above all
pay your honest debts to-day; invest your
spare change In religious reading; repeot
every fifteen minute, end there msy be
some hope for you. While floatiog through
spac you may be able to discover some
new oil field. We shall endeavor to get out
an extra with a full account ol this dread
vent
In lb meantime commence repenting at
one.
