One day the. neighbors discovered Ibe bouse to be on Ore. They weot at once lo the rescue. Upon arriving at the sceoe of conflagration, they found the "widder" bad cuccerded in es capiog with ber lile and tbe greater portion ot her household effects. She received tbe congratulations of ber friends upon ber narrow escape, and consolations for the loss of ber dwelling. She said that was nothing for eke expected it to fall loog ere tbis,wben all of a sudden sbo turned deathly pals and shrloked '-My child! my child !" In her anxiety to save iier liirnllure, io., she had forgotten her infant cbild. The query it. Id the language of tbe Derrick man ''Who was the lather of that child."

Wo oiinnot realise that the lafant prattle is hushed forever; that Ibe patter ot little feet will never more make musio iu the household; that the little playi things must be laid awny, and the eyes ot "out darling" never tuoie waken to greet us but rest quietly in tbe o'd church yard. And yet so It is and always has been, but ibe Master has said '-Suffer the Utile ones io come unto rue, and lorbld them not, lor of sucb is tne kinKduu. of Heaven."

Reauacltatlon of tho It rat Oil Field, Two mi lea from TltuoYllle-welia Flow from One to Threo Iluudred Barrels Per Day, The new oil territory on the flats, about two miles below Franklin street bridge, bid, lair to become richer and morn prolific than any at present known in the .Region. The history of this territory is very singular. Dr. Hunter purchased last summer about filteen acres In fee simple now known as the Hunter and Leonard traot. It is situated In tho valley, aboot one mile below the city limits. The territory had long since been abandoned, and was thought lo be worthless, but the Doctor, having a shrewd compre hension of the existence of seven oil bearing elts runnlpg parallel in this direction, con veyed tbe idea that one of the belts ran di rectly through bis land. By tl.e compass be found it lo k In a bee-line with some ol the largest wells in the northern districts, and he therefore embraced tue fit at oppor tunity of taking into partership tho Leon ard Brothers, two goa head and itnlerpilf- log geutlemen, to develop the territory with biiu. Sure enough, tbe first well put down, known as tbe Hunter & Leonard Well No. I, struck about lour mouths ago, spouted oil and water at a ralo which iu the present day of small wells was almost alarming. This well continued to flow for some time, and then settled down into a good stroog, reliable filly barrel well. The other day the tank was destroyed by fire, and she Was yesterday pumping on the ground. A new tank, however, will be placed in position to-day. Well No. 2, struck on the 4th Inst., is even a greater success, tbe flow bat cootlnually increased until yesterday mornT log, when it poured forth almost a solid stream of water and oil. The flow ot oil was estimited all the way from 600 to 700 barrels per day. Suddenly about noon the water overcame tbe pressure of tho gas, and she stopped. As soon as tbe water is pump ed out it is cnnsequeuully believed that It will make a good 300 barrel well. Well No. 3 has just been commenced, and well No.' 4 s preparing to go down. Close to well No. 2 Is a three acre lease, kuovvu as tho Burtls, Hunter & Grosbeek lea,?e. Burtls well No. 1 ou this tract was struck yesterday morning, and, like her neighbors, she threw a stream of oil thirty feet over the top of the derrick which was considered a good indication. This well was tubed and pumped lo-Uay. It is nn- ticiputod th it sue is good lor 100 barrel' per day at least. Toe Croasiey tract, a Utile above the Leonard & Hauler tract, has already tbne good pumping wells, which produce lt'j hrrela per dny In the aggregatn. Another well, known as the Fish well, on the Noble farm, ou tbe east I ro.v ol the bill, toipeiioed the other diy, is doinu thirty barrels, and on tho top ot the iippu-oie bin, In the Octare District, is a well omi.mI t.y li'iuey, Gil more & Co., which averts Ion barrels per day. This whole leirnoiy on the Hats will unqiiejtiouably be Oeveiopud as rapldlyas possible, uvea with the existing pit price of oil. The third x.nnl i only about 400 fet ddep on the llite, ml i reck is very thick. The cost nt drilling wells In litis locality is just one ball of what it cost in tko lower dittiricts, aud every well is a big otie. The idea is prevalent iu the lower districts that they have the only ter ritory which can produce cheap oil. This is ii miitalto, and capital will not be long-In finding it out. Quite a larcts number of speculators visited tbo wells yeslerdsy, and undoubtedly tbe vslley und bill suits will soou be thickly sitidded wilb derricks. The benefit to this city will be great, aud probably a railroad station will soon be erected at this new two-mile station. The wagon road is very rough nt present and it is liable to be improved by l.mun hauling heavy loads.over It. Tuiisville Herald.

What Is the most common complaint with guests against Iirst.ciass noieis i ni - travelers out or ten can give the fault for nulla iu a minute. About as follows: "I registered my name, and they gave mo a room at the lop of the bouse, ood charged me as much as il I bad tbe best room on the lowest lloor. Major General Buncombe had tho best ruom in the bouse and didn't pay any more than I did." It will be poi tively refreshing to our readers to know that there is one first class botel on Broadway, New York, that has taken a stand against this unsatisfactory and worn out system, and charges less for Ibe upper Boors than the lower, aud allows Ibe guests to obeose (or themselves. The Gland Ceotral Hotel, under the jndl. cions management of A. L. Powers, adopt this incomparably tbe best system at Ibe start, and it is being better appreciated everv dav.
