She would also return thanks to Mr. Joe Cbenet, ol Columbia Farm, for assisting in tbe doaation. To all friends who aided la the affair she returns heartfelt thanks. On behalf of Mr. Wilson, than whom be fore bis misfortune, do more liberal bearied man lived, we take'it upon ourselves to re turn tbanks to one and all of tbe fneuds wbo aided tbe donation. Butler County, once famous in song and story for ber soap miues, bids fair to drown us all but with crude. Ilur land o no ers insist on drilling. Leasiog sad drilling goes bravely on duwa there.

Charlie Cornell, a well known conductor on tbe Oil Creek road, alee went down with tbe car. Although badly bruised, he will recover. The others wore nil more or less injured.' There is no doubt but that eventually all tbe rellniug of the country will eventually be doneoa Oil Creek or other points in this reglou.

Tbe Ashbaugh and Soliday well, just be yond town, is in tbe sand, but it is linpossi pie to tell whether she will ! prove good or not, as yet. A cur ous fact is related cf tba II am a r well, oo Swllzerrun, as follows: Tbe old Uainar well was absolutely without gas, but a well put down by tba same company within thirty rods of tbs liral one, has great volumes of uf ims which renders it almost impossible to do anything with It. A well above the Howard well, on the Wellor farm, Turkey run, came near being destroyed by fire last week, tbe gas In tbe derrick becoming ignited aod set fire to the derrick. With much difliculiy it was ex tinguished. The Baxter wall, on tlo M. Slioup farm, Turkey nin, about twenty rods from the or iginal Mason well, Is pumping 75 barrels. Tbe Clarion Republican says: Tbe Trout run oil well pumped a bane of oil in fifteen minutes, on Wednesday last. Pvtrolia and Fairview news indicate the usual Increase in the production, and the local papers aassify themselves , by report ing wells as Oolug 200 and 300 barrels, when tbe actual production is notone-lourtb that amount. Were the reported strikes correct, the production would be iu the firsl di-ttlot alone, ever 10X00 barrels a day. When will ye iearu tbe truth? Petersburg Progress.

The Altona Tribune says: A boy named Patric McGinley, aped about Ibirteao yars( and son of Michael McGinley, living in tbe vicinity of Kittanning Point, while oo the monntaio on New Year's Bay, discovered a wild animal ot some kind in an old sbeep pen, aud picking up a stone be advanced within a few feet of it end threw at it, striking it on the side and injuring It so severely tbat it .gave vent to tbe most pierc' ing ecroams and (rightful yells.

On Wednesday nlgbt, John Douglas, of Dundas, Ontario, one of the Injured at tbe Prospeot disaster, died at the Chautauqua House, Mayville. His was the 22d deatb Caused by the sccldeot.

The bodies were burled iu a triple crrve, Rankin in the center. A Connecticut ruecbanie thinks he has invented a new process of plating iron or any other composition rui'lul either with gold, silver or nickel, the plating being so driven luto tbe surface that It become a part of the, metal itself. Experiments bave been made on boiler iron at Colt's with perfect success, an,l government Is going to lest tbe merits of theinvention.
