Smawley, el tbe livery stable on Washington street.- Wbile engaged In cleaning a borte, witbou any warning whatever tbe animal reartd up its bind feet ant) kicked out tbe iron ebod hoofs striking him in tbe right side, crushing in two ribs and badly bruising him otherwise.' He managed to crawl away l.-om the animal and by that time ascigteii'-9 arrived end he wag picked np la an inren aible condition and removed into tbe oflke and Dr. Christie called in, who dressed ,tbe wounds. Dr. C. Informed our reporter lh.-.t although the injuries wero revere he d'u not consider them dangerous unless tbc.e was some internal injury. Mr. Griffith hue many friends hereabouts, who will regret to learn of his mistortune. In our report of the iron tank struck by lightning, yesterday, It was stated that tbe tank contained no oil. Tbis every one who visited it alter being struck supposed to be tbe oaie. Subsequent investigation estab lished tbe faot that there was over three thousand barrels of oil in the tank. When tbis Is taken Into consideration, it la ceiy taioly a most remarkable freak of ligb' Ding. The fluid passad lo on tide of U a tank and out on tbe other, and why the oil, which is well known to be ol the moat In- flammable uature, did not catch Bra la past comprehension. One irreverent individual remarked that Frovidenoe waa ovldeot' well aware or the low price of oil, and coi eminently did not consider it worth making bonfire of, heuce It did hot burn. Tbe tank lliolf is not aeriously damaged. Te Hon. Mr. Cobeo, formerly one of tbe city dads of Petroleum Centre, and barring Dutobllonry, Cilizeo Malloy and Eliza l'.-rt, one of tbe most distinguished person ages io tbe oil region, arrived in town tbis forenoon.

Oo, Monday last we paid a virat to this new oil town, looated on tbe Starr farm, about three miles southeast ol Greece City. It naw contains some aixty buildings, occu pied aa family residences, boarding bouses, grocery and provision atores, livery alhlea) hotels, hardware stares, and last, though hot least, In tbe way of .money jnnktog, thore are tome seventeen places at which Are water Is retailed to the excited operators, fortune seekers and others who will visit the town. Butler county; - be it known, voted lo favor of local option at the latn election; but there are no less then evw'n. teen peisons in this now oil town, who seem to have no ter ror of the low. At Ihe present time there is a contention between tbe citi zens in regard to tbe name of tbe town, tome contending that it ebntl lie christened Modoc, wbilo other persist in calling if Summit City. Application Is being made for a post office, wbicb will doubtlets be granted at an early day ao l the town no doubt, will thereafter inborn tue name giw en tbe office. On tbe Starr (arm 'there .are three wells now flowing immense quantities of oil. One owned by Percy, Beck and others commenced flowing 'on Wednesday of last week, and on Monday following it was still tonfldercd good for 500 barruls. The Grace well commenced flowing on Monday of last week, and oue week thereafter it was considered good for fully COO barrels. Tdc well owned by S. P. Boyer and others, also commenced flowing on Monday of last week, and on Mond ty of this week its production was estimated ut 5J0 or GilO barrels per day. A oew well called the Captain Jack, lo cated on the Harper farm, a abort distance east of the old Troutman well, and not far from Modoc or Summit City commence'' Uowing on Wednesday of last week, and on tbe follow in? Monday gits production was estimated at 500 barrels per day. A well owned by Gormtly, Wick, noover aud others, located on tbe McClelland farm, between Greece City and the Starr larm, commenced flowing on Saturday evening last, and tbe His' 21 hours thereafter pour ed forth about 2o0 barrels of oil. The strike is regarded as ooo of tbe best between tbe wella on the Starr farm and Greece City. The latest intelligence received from tbit vast oil field represents tbiit the welt owued by Percy, Bock and others, located on the Starr, bas on iome occasioua since being etrack, flowed fully 1,000 birrels In twenty four hours. It keeps up Its production re markably well, and is coosidorrd a great strike. A well owned by Overy, Briwley and others, located on tbe Starr farm, was drill ed aome depth into tbe third aaud oo Mon day of this week, and at once commmiceii flowing oil at tbe rate of 100 or 500 banels per day.

Ladies (says the Saratoga correspondent of tbe Boston Globe) are forbidden to step foot Inside tbe precincts of Mr. John Mor rissey's' great and eleg.ot gambling .bouse. Tbe veto was put upon the ladies by tbe Young Men's Christian Association, for tbe purpose ot saving tbe ladies and ruining tbe men; or, as would appear most clearly io sensible minds, for tbe purpose of ruining hot b. For bow are women to be saved if men go to destruction? And much more Certain ia tbe fact tbat abutting tbe women out from any place where men congregate is tbe beat means in the world to abandon It to doublo fate. A lady, however, went into Jobn Morriseey's bouse the other day, and looked it over. She waa accompauied by a highly agreeable and intelligent South ern gentleman, to whom abe was greatly Indebted for a minute's explanation of tbe workings of this Institution, its lollus and failings. Tbe bouse is magnificent in (res eoing, carviutf, furniture, cut glass, carpetg and chandeliers, beyond anything ever seen In this country.

For eev teral deya oil baa only been worth about $1,50 at the railroad making tbe price tit tbe wells $1,23 and lesa, per barrel. Tbe production baa been kept up by the large wells In Butler county, and ia likely to con tinue lor tome time, at a great many walls are drilling In that region, During June, the, average production waa 20,449 barrels par day, aud when the July report appear! It will doubtless abow an locreaae. Tbla it more oil than the consumption demaoda, and producers) should cutel! operatlona. But it seems that nothing but general smash up, and flnauoial orisia will compel them to suspend drilling naw wella.
