' Tba good people of Bateaville, Bedlcrd county, Pa , were greatly excited on the morning of the third of July. Seventy bar rels of Dltro-gl)cerlne and seven hundred barrels ol glaat powder, which were , stored in one of the building- belonging' to the Cambria Coal and Mining Company, whose establishment Is situated about a mils from the village of Batesrllle, exploded at that time with remarkable enroll. In tba vil lage the bouses rocked as Jil an earthquake bad cotbat way, the ' breaking of win. dow llgbtltand cries of frightened women and enildreijfVere mingled in on horrible din, while at the scene or the explosion no trace could be found of the building, the barrels, the hoop or the nltro-glycerine and powder. For distance of Ave or six hundred yards around the spot wbers the building ttoodt the earth Itself had been dug out In Buge trenches some sixty or sev enty feet deep; great trees bad been lilted, roots and all, from tba places where they bad been growing for years, sad removed long distances, while other were almost burled under the vast' quantltes of flying dirt. The oause ol this extraordinary explosion was prellmiiarily nitroglycerine and glan1 powder, two substances which It now ap pear to be tba rule to keep stored together In large quantities; the Immediate oause was a number of pa'riollo young men, who it Is supposed were ; trying to steal somsi powder for the purpose of properly cele braling the anniversary of American inde- depaodenoe on tba next day. Whether they would have blown themselves out 0 world an "the Fourth, " if they bad succsd- d in their theft, will never be known. At any rata, they gave tba people ol Batesvlll fin bow on tbe third.

Several new residences have recently been put up on tbe farm Tbe operators are not discouraged by any means, but live In .hopes of a "good time coming" when tba down river territory will become a thing of tbe past, In which event oil will command a better flail re and (mal1 producers can live and make money. The production of tbe farm is about 75 barrels daily. Our friend, Job Wallace, of Rynd farm has recently erected an elegant residence at that point which Is occupied by himself and family.
