Exnitrment In I lie (Ml Koglom. A eorrp'pondcnt writing to a limton pa per from Petroleum Centre, Peon., says-teal Ibo recent great etrtkes in the oil regions have caused intense excitement At the oil towns of I'leasantville, Oil Cit), Reno, Franklin, Ptllmle and elsewhere, new wells are being started daily, which produce largely, and the oil is ol an excellent qua! ily. Most all tliexe "strikes" bavo tiuen made on territory vhic!i has beon conlder ed unpeoductlve by old oil operatms. Not onlv have these ininortaot strikes created consternation, but tho lowing'' o the "dry boles," made by dis'isted prospectors in the days;of the groat oil fvcr of ISfil and 1PC.1, 's a nine days' wonder. These "dry boles," which are located in all parts of tho region, the larger proportion, however, being at Reno and Franklin, aro matio productive by the use ot oitro-glycerlne torpedoes, which, being thrown into the openings, produce sufCoient concussion to open the interstices in which the petroleum is secreted. A great number of these wells yield as high at 200 barrels of "crude" per day. Specula tors from Philadelphia, New York, Jloslon, tbe Western cities, and other places are 'prospecting" aod tbcre la every probabil ity of there being as much excitement all through the regions as tberowssin tbe palm" lest days of tbe oil fever. Tbe hotels are filled with excited crowds of oil producers, brokers, prospectors, and speculators, and every train brings m more people interest ed or anxious to be interested in tbe oil trade. As is not generally known, nothing in the agricultural or horticultural line wilj grow in tbe oil regions, and tbe birda never come here. This is attributable to tbe fact that tbe ground and atmosphere are so thoroughly impregnated with the smell ol petroleum that neither vegetable matter can germinate or tbe feathered species exist. There is nothing bnt a dark cloud overshad owing the wbolo region, and tbe particles of black dirt which are continuously flying about penetrate everything. Tbe wives and daughters' of the "oil pioneers and kings" never attire themselves in light olothea, but the apparel generally cooslsts of sombre shados. Many places are always In an Erebur-lika state, which is only heightened by the aid of lamps. Tbe streets are lighted with a natural gas supplied from tbe wells, which come from the pipes in one solid, bissiog flame, which burns con stantly, day and night. Tbe peorls have a begrimed appearance, looking as though they bad bon smeared with "erudo pntw leuiu" and then dusted with black dirt. But through this blackness will be seen sparkliug on the Bhlrt bosom of an "oil prince" a $10,000 or $50,000 diamond. In Ibis country to be somebody one muet be an oil prince and sport immense diamonds. Education is literally nowbore, but to be well up to oil trade parlance is to be great aud mighty. We find the above extraordinary state, men ts in regard to the oil regions publish ed in tho New York Times of Thursday. It is bard to imagine even, a person.wbo would make such a dolt of himself as to make such looiiBuiy riuicuious statements as are con tained In Ibis article. And yet we are told that tbe people ol the Hub and of other ci ties put full faith In these Munchausen yarns, We are disposed to think that either a first- olassjoko was perpetrated on tbe editor o, that paper, or else Ibe Individual who wrote the article may safely be classed un der the bead of "Damphool." Read it and laugb, on ye "oil prinoea and kings." Tha flflh .. . as at last been sunk1 Pleasant township, about two miles from Warien. In most of Ibe wells oil baa been found, buf not in quantities to pay for working at the low price of oil These wella have all been superintended by Capt, A.

VtCtXITT OF SIOIIOC CITY. On Sttuiday last, while In Kalrview, we met a tellable gentleman conversant with operations about Modoc, who gave us the following correct tatormafion in regard tp the production ot wells up to that dale: The Thompson A Oilwortb well, on the Starr Farm, llowiug onu week, yielding daily SV0 barrels. Captain Jack woll, owned by Sattcrfield Taylor Jc Co , on the Ilurper lnn, tlowiua two weeks, yielding iOO li irrels per day. Modoc well, owned by the samo parties' on the Troutmin larm, lloiviug ooe week: started at 1000-barrels daily; now yielding COO barrels perdayr Oveiy & Urawley well, 03 the Slarr farm flowing ten days; yielding 603 barrels par day. Sweepstakes, oa tbo Harper farm, owned by Morrison, Doan and Vaodorgrift; flowing ono week; started at 325 barrels per day; was drille.1 deeper aud has since Been How Ing 60 barrels per hour, or 1200 barrels per day. Large as this tnjy appear, we aro as sured that tho production of tho well during soma days exceeded this amount. The wolls in tho vicinity of Jlodoc City are falling off. Tbo Starr farm at Modoc City has been sold to Phillips Bros. . vtcisrrr ofV;.vuns city. Some months ago J. F. Uiodaian, Cbas. Stewart and Lewis Wolford, purchased an old well aud an abandoned lease of thirty acres at onc-tcnth royally lor $3,000. Ihey titled up the rig, drilled the holedee. or, Jand wore rewarded lor their labors aud enterpriaa eomo two weeks ogo, by striking a sand rock from which oil at once commen ced flowing at tho rate of 400 barrels per day. Tho woll is located on what is known as tbe widow Soott ttrm. ' Capt. Grace's new well at Karns City, la flowing about 200 barrels per day. VICINITY OF GREECE CITY. A well owned by C. D. Gordon, located on the Gordon tract, part of the Campbell (arm, was completed some two weeks ago and started at a production of about 2DII barrels per day. Mr. Gordon Is an ener getio operator, aud we are gratified to learn that be has made a good strike. Latest. A telegraph dispatch received just before going to press, states thai tho Say well, one-halt mile southwest of Greece City, has struck tho sand and Is full of oil. This has heretolote bean considered dry ter ritory. VICINITY OF BUEXA VIST. The well owned by Millicbamp Bros., lo cated In the ravine northwest or town, has been pumping and flowing oil lor about ten days. It fails to equal many of the spout ers in tbe vicioity of Modoc, bnt is never theless considered a good well. MISCKLLAXBOl'S. A new well on the McCafTerfy farm, near Fairview, which started to flow on Sunday last, Is estimated at 150 barrels per day. The Lambing wlill, on the Forker farm, a mile east of Millerstown, has been drilled to tbe third sand and Is roported dry. A new well belonging to Goreoo & Carlln on tbe McDermilt farm, near Millerstown, is reported at 150 barrels fOllman' Journal. The Newton gas wejl, six miles from Ti tusville, Ps., which waa discovered lost year, and wbiob siill continues to pour forth its gaseous treasures at tba rata of abont three millions of cubit feet of gas every twenty-ronr hours, is said to be tba largest gas well in the world. The gas issues un der a pressure of from twenty to thirty pounds per square Inch, and for tha most part goes to waste. Pipes have been laid o Titusville, and some two hundred inA fifty dwel ing houses, shops, etc,, aro now supplied with gas for Illumination and luel. For heating purposes ft Is admlrablo, but for Illumination it requires to be passed through uaptha, as it is deficient in carbon. This woll may bo juitly regarded as one of tbo wonders of tho world.- Exchange. A gentloman informs ns that the gas well in the lower region, owned by Uimick & Neehit, is by lar the largest gas well In ths world. The roar of the gas can be heard flvo milos awny.

Tbe ornaments were found tied up In tbe knmmerbund of the corpse, and were restored to their owners. The foregoing facts were related Ito ns by one whose, veracity we bavenoteason to doubt."
