Sunday evening about balf past
eight a heavy rain set in here and con
tinued for nearly two hours without
the slightest cessation. Every street
in town was flooded, and the side
walks were nearly all afloat. It put
six inches in an ordinary wash tub,
standing out by itself, so you may
make up your mind that it rained
some. It was hailed with delight.
We understand that Kepler went
up to Jaraieson station last week and
forced, himself in Governor Beaver's
company to the new oil well in Har
mony towDfbip. The affable and
good-natured Governor was too cun
ning to risk hU reputation in such
oompany in town, so took the next
train for Warren, hoping, no doubt,
that Kepler would have the decency
not to mention it.

The Semi Weekly OitVc of Em-
lenton, gave up the ghost with its last

Critic was bright, newsy, and deserved
a better fate. In bis parting words
Bro. Gougbler gives some refreshing
advice and some plain talk to the bus
iness men of the town for their failure
to patronize borne papers and home
enterprises, which they would do well
to heed if they want to build up their
town. The field is now left to that
excellent paper the News, which we
hope will be well cared for by the en
terprising citizens of the town.

The last act iu the terrible trage
dy at Oil City last woek, ended with
the death of John McNerney Sr., iu
the lock up at 2 o'clock of the day
following the fatal night. His sou
and victim, John, Jr., who received
the bullet in the back of bis head,
died about two hours before tho father.
Thus have two innocent aud estiaiablo
people been laid low by the hand of a
desperate assassin, whose only redeem
ing act was to die and save the coun
ty a costly trial. It seems the old
man was always bad, drunk or sober,
aod that, contrary to first reports, he
had drank nothing during the day.
He had for years repeatedly threat
ened to kill hia wife, who is highly
praised by all her neighbors. Officer
James, who was shot in the groin, is
slowly recovering.
Iu the season of dog days and de
ranged stomachs says the Fraukliu
News, it is always well to reprint the
recipe for the famous cholera morbus
mixture, which has stood the test of
time and is the best baody relief in
cases of cramp or sudden attack that
has beeu compounded. It consists of
equal parts of tincture of cayenue,
tincture of opium, tincture of rhu
barb, essence of peppermint and spir
ts of camphor. Mix well. Dose, 15
to 30 drops in a wine glass of water,
according to age and violence of the
attack. Repeat every 15 or 20 min
utes until relief is obtained. It is an
excellent medicine to carry when trav
eling, and a few drops should go into
every drink of strange water.
Death of Mrs. Richard Irwin.
The Franklin correspondent of the
Derrick writes as follows, under date
of July 24th:
Mrs. Mary Irwin, widow of the late
Judge Richard Irwin, died at her
home, Elk street, yesterday morning
at 11:45 o'clock, after an illness of
three weeks' duration. Mrs. Irwin
was born in Erie, April 10, 1810.
Her maiden name was Mary Ann
Lamberton. She was a cousin of the
ate Judge Robert Lamberton aud
James Lamberton, of this city. She

Irwin, February 20, 1855, and has re
sided in Franklin since that time nntil
the date of her death. Deceased was
a devoted member of the United Pres
byterian Cburcb.and was a consistent,
steadfast Christian. Her long life
was a constant expression of kindly,
courteous, Christian acts, endearing
her to all who knew her, acting as an
eunobling influence upon the commu
nity in which she lived. Mrs. Irwin
eaves no children, but was a step
mother of Mrs. C. Heydrick, Miss II.
Irwin, and II. May Irwin, of the
Evening Nems, this city, and 8. D.

A FRIGHTFUL HOLOCAUST.
Eight Horses, a Mule and a Yoke of
Oxen Roasted Alive.
A week ago last Thursday night,
14th inst., one of the most shocking
things that has happened iu a long
time occurred at Duhriog's, in Jenks
Township, this county. The stable
there belonging to Wm. E. Browne &
Co., and occupied by Mr. Agey, who
is stocking the mill, burned, resulting
in tho loss of 8 horses, a mule, a yoke
of oxen, five set of new harness, and
considerable feed. Two cows were in
the barn, but had managed to get
loose and get out. All of the stock
and feed dettroyed belonged to Mr.
Agey, except one horse which belong
ed to a stranger slopping there over
night. Mr. Agey's loss will amount
to about $1700. The origin of the
fire is not known, but it seems from
she condition of the fire when discov
ered that it had originated somewhere
in the inBide of the buildiog. It may
be that it was caused by a coal drop
ped from a "ponkey smudge." The fire
was discovered about two o'clock in
the morning, and was so far under
way that nothing could be saved. Two
of the horses had got loose aud were
found standing at the door to which
Ibey had gone to try to gel out. Five
pups of a valuable breed were in the
barn and were burned; the mother, a
fine Newfoundland, escaped. During
the night she was heard making a
good deal of fuss, but nothing was
thought of it. She had no doubt seen
the danger and tried to give the alarm.
The smell of the burnt flesh was
dreadful and was almost sickening at
Ferndale, two miles farther up the
Valley.
Governor Beaver's Well.
A Tionesta correspondence to the
Blizzard, under date of last Thursday,
gives the following facts relative to
the new oil strike in Harmony town
ship :
Going north about a mile, to the
mouth of Tubb's run, crossing over to
the west side of the Allegheny river,
to the mouth of the Jamiesoo run, as
cending the same for about thrco miles,
we arrive at Azro Copeland's farm and
residence. About half a mile north
of his residence we arrive at a well
which claimed our attention. The al
titude above sea level at Tionesta is
1,060 feet and at the well about 1,600
feet. The distances from the well are
as follows: To Tionesta, four miles;
to the river, due east, three miles; to
Tidioute, air line, ten miles; to Tid
ioute, by road, thirteen miles ; to
Cashup, six miles; to Pitbole, six
miles; to Neilltown, four miles; to
Pleasantville, eleven miles by the way
of-Boan & Tyrell farm ; to Titusville,
fourteen miles ; to the head of Stew
art's ran and the Dawson farm about
two miles. On the way to the well,
going north, we observe slight depres
sions in the lands forming the upper
branches of Dawson run and irame
diately beyond the Fogel fhrpj, with
its derricks in the horizon. Tt -IV''
is located on a thirty-acre lease, a pari
of 200 acres owned by Jake Kepler,
one-eighth ; Gov. Beaver, three-eighths ;
Dr. Hale, one-eighth ; Fred. Shaf, one
eighth, and Mrs. Henry Hinckley,
one-fourtb, represented by Sam Neil,
attorney.
The lease was made to Jasper Car-
naban and William, his brother, and
requires in royalty one-eighth up to
ten barrels productiou and one-quarter
to fifty barrels. There was a well put
down on this lease years ago, which
amounted to nothing but a simple
show.
The last and new well is cased at
300 feet ; was fiuishod July 2, at 800
feet; is thirty-nine feet into the sand ;
had some showing; was shot with
eighty quarts, and is claimed to have
doue 100 barrels tho first twenty-four
hours. There are two 250 barrel and
one 150-barrel tanks at the well in
which there is at this writing about
450 barrels of oil. The oil is black
and dirty, not quite as black as Pleas
antville oil, and about forty to forty
five degrees gravity. Connections
wero mads by the Trausit line July
15, leading tho oil to the Fogel farm.
The well has some gas but not
enough to make it flow, and is con
siderably troubled with sand and mud
running iu, obliging tan owners to
pull the tubiug aud rods together in
order to clean her out. lhe well is
not doing more thau thirty barrels to
day. There are many vculures, some
of recent date, disastrous to the wild
catter, and no lew than seventeen
wells surround this phenomenon, out
of which ouly four are doing together
about seven barrels. The balance are
dry and all within a mile surrouuding
this well.
