Last night a bold and dxring attempt at bnrg ary and house breaking was made on tbe liquor establishment ot Owen GafTaey, corner of First and Washington streets. Tbe attempt was made shortly after tbe at rival of tbe special train from Oil City, which passed here about ball past one o'l clock a. m.

Kidney fearing that there was some one inside oroed an entrance, but tbe birds bad Uowo. There was a large supply ofoigars and otber valuable stock in the tore, and bad tbe thieves succeeded lu farcing an entrance a rich haul would have been made.

About twenty in I from lierlin is situated the village of Speren burg, noted for th-1 deepest well th 1 1 ha ever been sunk Owing to tin presence 0 gypsum In tha locality, which is nt a mod erate distance from the cipit il, it occurred to the government authorities in charge of lbs mines to obtain n supply of rock salt With this end in view, the sinking of a shaft or well, sixteen lee t 10 diameter, was commenced some five years ago, uud at a depth of two buodied and eighty leet the salt was reached. The boring was contin ued to a further deptb ol uloit hundred and sixty feet, tbe diameter of tbe bore being reduced to about thirteen ioches. The op erations were subsequently prosecuted by the aid ol steam until a depth of lour toons and one hundred and uinety-four feet was attained. At this point tbe boring was dis continued, tbe borer or bit still being in the salt deposit, wliico tbus exhibits Ibo enor mous thickuass of three thousand nine hun dred and seven feet. The l.oriug would have been contiuued in older to discover what description of deposit lay under the fall, but lor the mechanictl dilliiiulttea con nected with tbe future prosecution of the operations.
