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. It seems they tried to force an
entrance through a side window and bad
succeeded to that extent that the window
was partly raised and tbe man about to en
ter, when tbe noise attraoted tbe attention
of a dog In Weiderscb'g sboe shop, tbe ad
joining building, who set up a loud bark
ing, which brought our eflloient nieht
watchman, Peter Kiduey, to tbe rescue
as soon as he came In view the burglar
made oft" across tbe railroad to parts un
known. 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. Had Peter not made tbe niH
take of thinking there was some one still
Inside, be would no doudt have captured
one of tbe burglars.
We would advise our citizens to keep a
sharp look out for suspicious characters af
ter this daring attempt attempt at burglary
We are ploased to sue tbe familiar phiz ol
Jlr, W. D. Dodge, in town to-day. Mr. D.
is at present tbe proprietor of a nourishing
hotel at Falrview, Butler county. He has
tbe Butler fever until he Is swelled oat like
unto a green bay tree. He talks Botler;
thinks Butler; eats Butler, and swears by
Butler, like all other parties who have just
emigrated to that point. Wait a, few weeks,
Qtiard, old buy, and then we would like tu
bear from you. In the meantime we wish
you all tbe good luck imaginable plenty ol
money, lots of custom, good health and
barrels or rum.-' We understand Eugene,

A Vt'.RV Wt.Lt. 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. Darin,; the prodrug of this In.
lerosting work repelled and careful obscr
valious were nrtde of the teirjpera'ure at
Various depths. The results confirm very
closely those which have beeu already ar
rived at under similar circumstances.
