4 A Earning Well. On Saturday, February 3d, a well which tras being sunk about eleven miles be low Franklin, and bad reached the depth of more than five hundred feet, was left by the workmen during the sup per hour, when it suddenly, and without previous indications, commenced Spout s' w. I mi . If . I. . iuz eras mriousiy. xius lsrnuea irom tue furnace, and iu a few moments the der rick, engine house, and all combustible material in the immediate vicinity was consumed. Jibe gas spouts out apparen tly-pure, unacorapanied by either saltwa ter or oil. 1 he flame is steady, and up wards of fifty feet in height, and twenty- five feet in diamtcr. The well was not tubed, aud the force of the gas is so great as to successfully resist thus far all at tempts to extinguish it. It is said that the light is distinctly perceived at Glar ion, Franklin and Reno, during the night time. A person who visited the well last week. Bays in a letter : kThe ground around the well for nearly five hundred Feet in every direction has been thor oughly baked by the heat- The trees re budding, and some have actually put -iorth leaves. In some places the grass tias grown two inches, forcibly remind ing one of summer on a small scale The flames rise to a height of sixty feet sometimes higher, lighting up the hills &nd valleys for miles arouud. At times it burns fiercer than usual, breaking and roaring Tind threatening to burst the earth and enguhm all within its reach, and forming a scene beautifully grand and aubHrne.'' The statements published in the pa pers, concerning the disease amoug cattle and hogs, very much diminished the sale of beef and pork in the city last week, nd conquently the prices of those. artic les were somewhat lowered. Sausages went off rather slowly. Some of the sau sage makers iu Bucks county, says the " Intelligeucer," fouud it very difficult to dispose of their usual amount of this ar ticle, aud in some instances considerable quantities were brought home. The pri ces of domestic marketing iu the cry the last of the week were as follows: Ap pies per peck, 85 to 40c; buttr per pound, 40 to 60c ; lard, 22 to 25e ; beef, IS to 30c j mutton, 9 to 20c ; pork, 15 to 20c; hams, whole, 2i to 28c; shoul ders, 16 to 20c ; poultry, 20 to 28c ; sau aages, 22 to 25c; scrapple, S to lUc ; eal, 20 to 30e; cranberries per quart, j2 to 15c; dried apples, 15 to 18c; dried peaches, 22 to 2oc ; dried cherries, 2o to 2So ; white potatoes per half peck, 20 to 95c ; sweet potatoes, 25 to 30c ; onions, 20 to 25c ; parsnips, 20 to 25c ; eggs per tjozen, 61 to 4uc. General Howard, Commissioner of the JJureau of Freedmen or Refugees, has is sued a circular to his subordinates, call ing upon them to be prepared for anT fresh manifestations of hostility on the part of those who have heretofore hiuder ed its operations, and advisiug them to act firmly and steadily in. any emergency He states that the President has assured him that the present law is regarded as contiuuing the Bureau in existence for At least a year from this time. In the Senate. Mr. Wilson has already giveu no lice of a bill extending the operations of -ibe present Bureau for two 3-ears longer. Pittsburgh, the second city of the State, is rapidly improving and well de serves its name as the Birmingham of A tnerica. Its substautial growth is indica ted by the fact, that seven 3'cars ago the city had but five banks, now it has twen ty, with a capital of S25.000.000. It has five large cotton factories, and seven wool en ones. It has no less than fifty glass making establishments, which produced $12,000,000 worth last year. In the iron trade, the amount of manufacture U immense. The value of its coal trade is estimate 1 at $9,000,000 while its oil trade and manufacture is put at 325,000,000, A new law relating to Mechanics' Lieus has passed both Houses of the Legislatue, and will probably be signed by the Gov ernor this week. , It enables mechanics -and persons furnishiug materials to any building altered or repaired to file a lien the same as liens are now filed agaiust new buildings. A gentleman just returned from llich- tnoud reports that the military orders pro hibiting the wearing of the gray, adorned tnih Rebel buttons, in that cit is beiu strictly carried out.
