One Ida Castle, n fab but frail female, re

When n crowd of jaybawkera started n

We give below the balauoe of the obser
vations made by the editor of tbo Peters
burg Prog rem on bla reoent trip through tbo
lower oil region. Hie statement of tbe eon.
dition of tbn oil towns In that section is
about aa lair n one aa we have had yet:
Millerstown presents all tbe bustle nnd
confusion incident upon new development.
Tbe many recent strikes bringing in opera
torn from all parte ol tbe country. Being
an old town, aod having many advantages
In tbe way otsolld, quiet substantial resi
dents, it Is, to our mind tbe best ol all tb(
lower oil towns. Hotels of some magnitude ;
pleasant residences or oil man who ore sup
posed to be some relation to old Croesus,
give quite n healthy tone to tbe place, ' not
withstanding tbe turbulanoa and careless
ness of many ot tbe more present arrivals.
Butler, although n very old town, bas not
yet fully awakened to the importance of de
velopment beiog made In ber aoap mines,
notwithstanding tbe backwardness or tbe
native population. A etrong element or tbe
stirring, bustling, nervous oil men has given
an impetus to business which would have
been who! ly nnknown but for tbe discovery
of tbe great reservoir of petroleum which
baa made of tbe buckwheat country" quite
n respec table neighbor.
Greece City which bas proven to be tbe
end of tbo development, presents tbe ap
pearance of an overgrown baby it is puffed
up a great deal, but the solid elements are
entirely wanting. Here we round . tbe
greatest excitement pievailicg, men crezy
with "oil on the brain," men crazy because
they hadn't any, and others because they
were going to try aod get it. The people
are very rough, disturbances ate frequent;
liquor ia the common coverage. It bas no
appearance or stability whatever, and al
ready it has began to feel tbe evil effecte.o
dry boles In ita vicinity.
Buenn .Vista, four mile from Greece
City, is just on tbe edge of tbe belt, and
will probably be of aa much importance as
some of tbe mora notable towns alieady no

with great energy, and if the wells now un
der way should prove to bo successful, much
new territory will bo opened np.

Taken altogether we believe that tbe con
dition oT the oil business waa never so crltl
eel as at tbe present time. Tha almost
Incredible number of wells going down, tbe
men for leases:' these have n tendency to
keep the prloe of oil where it It. Tbe busl

The atriking of many dry bole baa already

they will become more so before tbo first of

The way ol this "wicked nnd perverse
generation" are put finding, out. Last
night some sinner olimbed 00 the roof of
homo on Washington street, occupied by
Little Jake the elothei cleaner, nnd stuffed
tha stove pipe fall of old rags soaked in oil,
This morn lag Jako roee from' bla virtuous
eoncb and proceeded to light tha fire.
soon as tbe match started tha flame a fourth
ol July explosion occurred which came
near blowing tha roof off tha building and
a' it wa set fir to the roof ol the bouse.
Fortunately It was raining nt tha time, otb.
erwlse a conflagration would hav ensued.
In various localities about the lake there
are lying on the bottom n number of vessels
many of them of the better oiaas, laden witb
railroad iron and other property ot great
value; among which may be Included both
Iron and copper ore. Witb some of tbe new
appliances for raising wreeka from great
depths, nejrly all of these vessels, witb their
oargoes, can be recovered without much
difficulty, should no atorms Intervene. Tbe
weather tbua far tbla season baa been un
usually favorable for suoh undertakings,
ana possibly may thus cootluue during tbe
summer months, and, horn what can be
Inarned of tbose engaged in tbe enterprise,

One or these lost vessels is tbe schooner
Saltillo, laden with railroad iton, which
sunk in tbe river St. Clair some jwenty
years siooe. Parties are now engaged in
recovering the cargo, but as the vessels we

Notes. In yesterday's issue ye editor
sighs and give vent to bis thoughts in a

natural sympathetic feeling and we find

Every ona bas a better opinion or tbem
