From the Warren Ledger,
Warren Oil District.
ths bsll well to bb a gusker.
The Bell Well Is down eemethlng
over 600 feet. This Is what is termed
a wet hole. At this writing arrange
ments are being made to put in smaller
casing, cut off the water and drill a
dry hole the balance of the way. The
report is that oil has been reached,
but It Is erroneous. The well has con
siderable gas. Before going to press
there may be further developments,
but on Tuesday the above was a cor
rect statement, which is liable to be
varied at ny time after the water Is
pumpnd out and going down a few
feet deeper. The general Impression
is that it Will be a good well, and sev
eral new enterprises are hanging upon
its result.
A few rods west of the Bell, is a new
rig going up by Mr. Lo.n, of Butler
County.
Geo. Leonhart Is making arrange
ments to put down a well about forty
rods south and east of the old Beatty
well.
Mr. Beatty has two rigs up opposite
the Roy wells, one being drilled and
the other getting ready He has ground
marked off for two other wells all
contiguous to tho Boy Wells, only
across the road.
Mr. Roy is starting another Well on
the Sutter farm. The Nesmlth is
being drilled.
The old Bell well, owned by Mr.
Roy has just been torpedoed, since
which it has not had a fair test, owing
to caving in. The slight test already
given indicates its production has
been Increased from a three to a four
barrel well. The old Verbeck has been
torpedoed, and its yield has been in
creased about one barrel per day.
The Verbeck, No. 2, Is flowing as
usual, as Is the Roy, with an Increase
of production, especially as regards the
Roy,
The Struthers, up Follet run, has
been idle for some days owing to the
driller taking out the tools to go into
the NeSmith well. They are being
reoluced by the company. Conse
quently our report is not materially
changed from those previous.
P. 8. We learn that the Bell well
gives every indication of being the
largest one in the district, so far. Oil
was struck Monday night, When op
erations were sutiended to provide a
tank, and smaller casing. We shall
go to press before any test bus been
niRdc. but there is every reason for
believing that this will surprise those
who have had doubts about large wells
being developed in this district.
DisrorRAGiNO. The look-out for
railroad employees, mechanics and
laborers, on the Pennsylvania railroad,
is anything but encouraging ut present
Within the last week 30 men have
been discharged from the maintenance
of way between Harrisburg and Al
toona. At A 1 toon a 600 men were fur-
Ioughed at one-time and 300 more
afterward, within one week.
Ninety employees have been dis
charged from the shops and round
house of the Pennsylvania railroad in
Harrisburg. There will be a reduc
tion in the hours of labor for the re
maining hands from and after June 1,
as follows: Commencing at 8 a. m.;
stopping at 12 m. Resume work at 1
p. m. and stopping at 5 p. m., making
8 hours per day. On Saturday 8 to 12
four hours; no work in the afternoon.
The Pennsylvania railroad company Is
one of the most liberal and encourag
lug toward its employees in the United
States, and this course is rendered
necessary only on account of the stag
nation of business. Columbia Cour
ant. A man named Hollingshead was ar
rested in Tyrone, on Wednesday of last
week, charged with having murdered
a man at Napoleon, Henry county,
Ohio, some two years ago. For the
past eighteen months, Hollingshead
has been in the neighborhood of lloutz
dale, this county, and in consequence
of some difficulty with another man
there, to whom it is said he acknowl
edged his crime, information was
lodged before a Justice who commu
nicated with the authorities at Na
poleon, by whom he has been Anally
traced up ahd secured. He went to
Tyrone about two weeks previous to
his arrest, and was in the employ of a
butcher at that place, to whom he
gave his name as Charles Osgood.
Williamsi'OBT was visited by a ter
rific thunder storm last Friduy even
ing. The Mulberry M. E. Church was
struck by lightning and the 208-foot
steeple shattered into flinders and the
building otherwise greatly damaged.
Some of the streets were flooded to the
depth of two feet. Many buildings
were injured and a large number of
old and venerable shade trees were up
rooted, to the great dismay of the
owners. Hundreds of flags, which had
been floating in the breeze, are now
buried in the mud, to the great dis
respect of the Centenniallsts who in
vested their cash in that staple article
of national pride.

excitement in this plans for a few days
over the discovery of considerable
quantities of crude petroleum near ths old
oil Well on the banks of Elk creek. Several
of our citisens have been over there and
gathered the oil in bottles. Considerable
interest is felt in ths matter, and it is
though there may be oil in paying
quantities. We hope the business will be
thoroughly investigate!, for if there is oil
in Ridgway as we have ever reason to
believe there is from present indications,
the finding of it in paying quantities will give
business in Ridgway a fresh and lasting
impulse. We will watch the progress of
the investigation with interest and hasten
to lay the matter before our readers as
rapidly as possible. Give us oil, oh! give

How Tits Exhibition oitu on Our
CORRESPONDRNT TUtKKA IT 18 A
0000 tlllNQ Some Notes and in
ci t is nts Tits Hunter's Camp
First Pennsylvania Railroad
Train Indkpendbnce Hall,
from our Regular Correspondent,!
Philadelphia, June, 13A, 1879.
Long letters are a nuisance, as a
general thing, and I have of late treat
ed your readers to several of them in
attempting to get through this Exhi
bition by rote. So, for this week I
will give you Only some rambling
notes end gossip by way of variety.
There never was a show where one
could gat "so much sugar for a cent''
so many attractions under one can
vass, so to speak, It makes little dif
ference What part of the grounds you
begin with or what building you en
ter first, "all is grist that comes to the
mill," as the old miller said, and there
are pretty things, curious and inter
esting things on every hand. Larger
crowds of people are coming every day
and the coffers of the managers are
correspondingly benefitted to say
nothing of numerous outside interesta.
For a time there was a decidedly
gloomy prospect for a lot of vendors
and caterers of all kinds who had paid
heavy bonuses fbf privileges, but
things look more promising for them
now, though even yet many a bright
dream is a long way from realisation,
The attendance, however, is getting
to be hearer the mark, and the more
visitors look about them the more
they realize what a shame it would be
to have such a magnificent exhibition
fail of appreciation or support. And
there is satisfaction in the statement
that eo far the attendance exceeds by
more than three times that at Vienna
for a corresponding period.
Incidents of the most amusing char
acter divert the attention of observing
persons on every nana, rne pniio
sophtcnl student of human nature en
joys these nearly as much as the Ex
hibition itself. Every avenue and
walk leading to the grounds is lined
on cither hand with hucksters of all
sorts whose seductive exhortations
greet the ear of all passers-by. Here
are some specimens gathered as I
strolled leisurely out of the grounds
the other evening. The lemonade
man: "This Way, ladies and gentle
men, for your real California straw
berry lemonade I Lem, Lent I The
original California lemonade I Each
glass is prepared from a choice juicy
lemon, with half a pound of double re
fined sugar. Each glass contains a
piece of Ice as large as the baby ele
phant's ear, and all for the low price
of half a dime. Walk right tip this
way; now's your time ! Thank you,
sir; another glass sold, another soul
made happy. Lem, lem, lem I"
Another enterprising gentleman shouts
T'rduutBj his votee, a melodious basso
profundo, pitched in B. fiut: Walk
up, run up, tumble up I This is the
original Japanese Peanut, authorized
by the Ceutennial Commission and
approved by the Board of Health.
These choice and delicious camel-back
peanuts are unequaled in sise and flu
vor. The ladies love them and chil
dren cry for them I Buy them before
you try them I Fresh roasted, camel
back, Jupiinese peanuts, only five cents
a quart 1" Peanuts may or may not
be a wholesome and nutritious diet.
Authorities differ on that subject.
But no American show would be com
plete without the fragrant, unctious
peanut. They are one of our institu
tions, and are indispensable to com
plete happiness of the average Amer
ican pleasure seeker.
Standing on a box in front of asmall
tent containing. I don't know what, a
burly fellow of tragic mien bellows
forth Rlde on, pale moon, thine
orbs majestic high," whatever that
may mean. But the most ridiculous
feature of the many catch-penny
schemes is the universal use of the
term limited. The omnibus lines are
"limited;" the boarding-house agen
cies and the enterprises of all sorts are
'limited." With some of them the
term has rather a different significa
tion from that intended. Their pat
ronage is decidedly "limited." It is
said that ths bootblack's association to
be organized on the stock plan will
also adopt the "limited" principle.
In one of the least frequented parts
of the grounds, and so fur removed
frotn the currents of travel that it is
probably not seen by the one visitor
in ten, is the very novel and interest
ing exhibit made by the publishers of
The Forest and Stream. It is called
the "Hunter's Camp," and is a perfect
representation of the externals of the
life of the deer-forest and the trout
stream. The thick foliage Of the trees
in the cool, deep valley where the
hunter's hut of logs stands, the noisy
stream and waterfall in front, the still
pool in which float two Indian canoes,
the guns, fishing-rods, blankets, cook'
ing utensils, traps, and trophies of the
chose within the hut, all help to make
the illusion perfect, and it would not
be hard to imagine that one had been
suddenly transported from the bust
ling, exciting scenes of the Exhibition
to some nook in the heart of the
Adlrondacks or the Alleghenies.
A curiosity rarely noticed by visit'
ors, on account of its position in an
out-of-the-way part of the grounds, is
the first locomotive and passenger
train run on the Pennsylvania Railroad-
It is still serviceable, and made
the run from A 1 toon a, where it has
been laid up for many years, to this
city. The cars are email and low,
with windows so narrow that passent
gers were in no danger of getting hur
by thrusting their heads out. The
engine has no cab, but the projecting
roof of the combined tender and bag
gage car partly theaters tha engineer

pears to have been intended literally
tocatfh the Intrusive animal and Mot
throw her from the track. This calls
to mind the recent achievement of the
Pennsylvania Company, which is a
good Centennial item, exemplifying
the progress In rall-rosding, People
here have manifested agood dettl of in
terest in the fast-train experiments
and the successful funning of the San
Francisco train from New York to
Chicago Over the Pennsylvan la Central
and Pittsburg and Fort Wayno tracks
in twenty-five minutes lew than sched
ule time, which Was tweniy-two
hours, is a gratify I bg achievement,
which only perfect road and equip
mclnts renders possible. From New
York to Tittsburg, 444 miles) no Stop
was made at Rll-the train running
steadily on its way at an average rate
fbrthe entire trip of 44 miles ah hour.
The beauties and delights of a fine
floral display can be fully enjoyed
here along With all the rest Itavlhg
walked through the acres of blooming
flowers, verdant sod and healthy ever
greens, surrounding Horticultural hall
and through the orangeries and trop
ical groves of the falryIike hall Itself,
sweet music in the meanwhile floating
from the organ in the gallery, the vis
itor passes out and around to the north
ern side of the building, when he finds
another conservatory constructed as an an
nex to supply space which the main struct
ure lacked. This building is one great
gothlo arch, oovering an Urea of ground 150
by 60 feet in sise. Canvas is used iostead
of glais oh the arch, and delightful shade
is the consequence. Tho Walks are of fine
sntld kept damp thereby Imparling a pleas
ant coolness to the atmosphere. But the
attraction here is in the display of rhodo
dondrons in all their charming varieties.
There are no flowers in the building but
these, and they are all owned and exhibited
by one man, Anthony Watercr Khap Hil'
Nursery, England. His exhibits here num
ber 1,600 plants, bearing, probably, twenty
times as many flowers, tn a short time he
must remove them from ths building, to
meke way for exhibitors of plants thriving
later in the year, and those, in turn, must
do in like manner for still others.

We have referred elsewhere to the
fact that the money receipts at the
great exhibition are steadily on the
increase. On Wednesday, June 7th,
81, 673 paying Vlsitort W ere lh attcn-'
dance, which at fifty cents each
amounted to $15,836 50. With the
xception of the opeuihg day, May
10th, and decoration day, May 80th,
this Was the best day's business yet
done. The aggregate receipts of last
week Were about $75,000. Compared
with the Vienna Exposition in 1873,
Ceutennial at Philadelphia runs far
away in advance of it in cash receipts
during the first month of the opera
tions of both. These figures show that
the receipts here are almost four times
as great as they were there within
that period. Instead of averaging, as
the American Exhibition is now do
ing, Over $12,000 a day, we shall not
be surprised that during July the
amount will reach $18,000 or $20,000
dully. The chance for stockholders to
realize from their subscriptions is not
therefore so desperate after all, even
deducting the $1,600,000 which Con
gress grud ngiy voted on the Shylock
condition that this claim should have
precedence over all others.
It is noticeable that a large propor
