Pethoua, January 12 8 A fire broke out. at the Wit. .ell, w iimn tarm, At :,5UtlHS evening w. r. nirxx The tank hurst nud the burning oil run dawn into a small stream emptying . into Benr Crock. Tank nftvr tank caught lire and burst, and in n very short time the large stream of burning oil was within one hundred and iiliy varus of the business portion of lVtro lia. A young man named Charlie Crocker wa so badly injured by a falling derrick, that li will probably die before daylight. Everything was removed from ilia telegraph office but the instrument. Tho destruction of the town is imminent. The prospects are that this ia the last dispatch that will be sent from tins olace. J. U SECOND DISPATCH. Special to tho Derrick. i ETROLIA, January 123:30 P. M Tho Mary Ann well, and-the well of Drmick, esbit & Co. were burned; also, the Blaney wells. All the wells along Bear Creek are coine. Fully 4,608 'barrels of oil wero burned, and tamk after tank is taking fire. J THIRD DISPATCH. Fpeetnl to tho Derrick. 1 ETI'.olia, January 129:30 P. M. The fire has been got under control, just at the edgo of town. No further dancer is anticipated, unless the fire should spread. J. SINGULAR. ACCIDENT. About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon a litte boy eight yenra old, who has evidently not carefully studied the fanciful Sabbath school items about the terrible fate of depraved urchins that go "coasting" on Sundays, quiet ly stole away from his peaceful home, attached himself to a ferocious hand sled, ascended the sleep eminence on Petroleum street, and w as soon gliding along the downward road at the rate of numerous miles in five seconds. The favorable condition of the ice and snow quickly got the vehicle .under terrific headway, and the bold naviga tor seemed destined to slido over tho high raiirnad bank and form the sub ject of a first-class obituary, replete with solemn warnings to all naughty juvenile violaters of the fourth com mandment. The sleich neared the dangerous brink; (mother instant and the rash voyager must inevitably be hurled over the precipice, whan a cow appeared on the seen?, and tho com plexion of affairs immediately under went a material change. Tho sled 6truck the innocent quadruped with immense force, effectually checking the further progress of the" rapid ve hicle and saving tho urchin from a fearful death by throwing him against tlio animal at the rate ot about six hundred pounds pressure to the square inch. 1 he astosdierl cow promptly retaliated oy administering a vicious kick in the direction of the boy's nose, with such a power as to break that useful organ and seriously disfigure the fellow's counteuance. The little chap was convoyed home, and under skill ful medical treatment is likely soon to recover. It is expected he will hereafter refrain from that particular variety of babbath-breakiog.

Tlie latet illustra tion of the kind is afforded by a New York paper belonging to that school of political economy. In an article on the rotten manufactures of the United States for tho past venr, it gives etalistics relating to the spinning capacity and the consumption ol our cotton mills, from which it appears that the gain of 1872 upon the pro ceding year was GGO.000 spindles, or eight and a tmll per cent., and com pared with 1870, 1.000,000 spindles, or fifteeu per cent; the consumption of cotlou last year being 1.210,000 bales, against 1,032.000 bales in 1371; an in crease of 168,000 bales, or fourteen per cent. The increase in spinning ca pacity during the year having been only eight and a half per con., while the increased consumption of cotton was fourteen per cent., it necessarily follows that the cotton machinery of the country was much more actively employed Inst tear than during the year preceding. The paper from which wo take the above figures says they furnish "another evidence of the general prosperity of bueiuesA during the past year." Undoubtedly. But it does not once appear to see that neither, e one nor the other increase referred to could have occurred, bad its politico-economic doctrines pre vailed. Il is a pitv that those papers do not sometimes slop to consider the causes and agencies lying back of our "general prosperity. Nma Killed ea the Railway. We learn from the Derrick that the Parker accommodation, Conductor Bonner, coming north Monday night, killed a man three quarters ot a mile below Foxburg, at 6 30 o'clock. His name is N. Bacon, lie was walking on the track, ingincer Mi urn ins saw him by the light of the head-light, it being dark; whistled warning and clown brakes, and applied the air brakes, but the man remained on the track, and the train "was so near it I i . i . coma nu ih snipped in time to save htm. 1 he pilot struck him and burled him off the track; his head struck piece of railroad iron. Hu was picked up as soon possible and taken to .toxburg, where he' died in about forty minutes. Dr. 'Masgon attended, anil decided that the immediate can"'- of his death was concussion of the i ':in produced br striking the rail. lleilid not speak alter the blow. .Deceased was a sewing machine ogent from Lawrenceburg, aged about da. As he was seen early in the even ing at Foxbmg considerably iutoxica ted, it is safe to set this dowu as au other one of rum's victims. Or, rath er wa should say one of the rum teller' victims. The London JxonomLit the lead ing financial paper of Great Britain ia a lure review of the results of the administration of President Grant, notwithstanding its pronounced free trade proclivities concedes that the finances of the country have been managed with signal a'lility and pru dence during the period in question; the special points singled out for ap proval htting the suppression ot the repudiation sentiinsnt which the course of the preceding administration 'lad teaded to foster; the large reduction in the funded debt; the conversion of six per ceui. uouus into lives, and the marked decrease in the bunion of tax anon, ui conrsa the Jeonomist, as the principal fiscal organ of tho f'reo traders, could not avoid indulging ic a lime supercilious criticism ot our policy of protection to home industry which has largely helped to enable us to accomplish the results mentioned still me iraun and sincere man lie l iu which it gives, to the admiiiitdration the credit which is properly its due, contrasts very strikingly with the causelessly peevish and fault finding tmio of uot a few of our own papers conermtig the same subject. And it thould be a lessci to them. Saturduy afteruoou last Andrew Firth, son of a widow living on the plank road, was coasting with some companions near Mr. K. II. Lee's re finery, one of the boys fell from Ids sled on the road just as Mr. J. II Brons drove along. In trying to avoid ruunuig over him fllr. Jiroaa ran nsiunst and knocked dowu the boy rirth. Iho boy was on his leet di rectly hurt, ', and to an inquiry if he was made no reply, but walked on Drs Moody and ISarr were afterward culled to sue him, when it was found that his skull had been crushed, and part of thn brain protruded, win was immediately replaced. The wound is a very dangerous one, and may probahly prove fatal. JNo blame attached to Mr. Uroas, as he was uot driving fast at the time. Herald.
