To elevate science would tend,

The Big Conflagration on Pithole
The intelligence sent you concerning the
great fire last night was so unsatisfactory
that I avail myself of the earliest moment
this morning to write you a more extended
account. Yesterday morning, about 10 o'clock,
a new well, tubed the day before, on the
Holmden Farm, and on lot 19, near the north,
; ern line of the farm, began to be pumped. It
was situated on the west side of Pithole
Creek, between it and the «second bottom.."
After fifty minutes pumping the well began
to yield at the rate of three to four hundred
barrels in twenty-four hours. The well would
have flown that amount without further pump
ing one hour after they !moat'. It is deemed
advisable, however, to pump a well that begins
to flow, on the doCtrine that agitation does it
good. As the owners of the well had no ides
what they had when they began to pump, no
tank was prepared for the reception of the
oil. It was, consequently, pumped eat upon
the ground. During the day considerably
over one hundred barrels had been pumped
upon the ground, filling all the little pools,
creeping among the grass, gliding gradually
down the creek bottom, and along the bluff,
fifteen or twenty rode. Such things had
been done before, and no serious apprehen
sions of danger were-felt. Crowds of people
visited the well during the day, for snob a re
markable well was the great sensation of the
day. It promised to be the largest of all the
mammoths on Pithole. -At various times
there were from fifty to a hundred persons
present. About holf-peet 7 o'clock last night,
a large number of people wer,e present, and
half a dozen were on the derrick, and others
were ranged about at various distances. Your
correspondent, providentially, did not happen
to be of that number, bet was at the moment
about thirty rods away. My attention was
suddenly arrested by an explosion as loud as
a good sized cannon would make. The first
impression was that some blasting operation
had taken place, but on immediately turning
about, the scene presented was before me in
all its awful grandeur. Suddenly as powder
ignites, suddenly as lightning from the skis.;
there swept up from the earth, from an area
of three-fourths of an acre of grouad which
the oil had covered, a Warning, hissing, howl
ing firespout that rose nearly an hundred feet
into the air, the whole fiery mass surmounted
by a thick black pall of smoke, as from a hun
dred throated furnace. Above the high tree
tops it leaped as if springingln impotent fury
at the very skies. Everybody' had heard the
explosion, and, in a moment, everybody saw
the fiery demon overshadowing the creek.
Lot Nineteen is but twelve or fifteen rods from
the tanks of the famous Holnidea well, in
which were thousands of barrels of oil stores
away. One hundred rods further down the
creek were fifteen or twenty thousand more
barrels of oil stored in huge tanks, near the
Frazier and Twin wells. As the seething.
flames mounted , upward and ran into every
nook and canny where a little pool of oil had
been formed, everybody expected in a moment
to see the whole creek bottom a ,boiling lake
of fire. Instantly upon the explosion the peo-
ple ran in every direction, some toward the
fire, others from it. Men looked excited and
alarmed. The few women in the crowd cried
and already saw their own friends among the
many that all felt must have been caught ip
the whirlpool of firo and dragged down with
hungry fury to an awful death. Running in
the direction of the fire, I met three wretched
men that had barely escaped from the flames.
One of them, howling in agony, " 0, my God,
what shall I do! what can I do," hak s hie
clothes almost wholly burned from his body.
I His back, and breast, and legs wore brown,
with enormous fire blisters hanging to the
skin, while - his hands were burned to the
bones. At die time of the explosion he was .
sitting in the derrick, and in rousing through
the flames, fell down with both hands plunged
Into the burning oil. He was able, however,
to leap into the creek, fortunately not covered
with oil, and thus barely got tint of the hiss
ing, crackling blaze. His name was Lucius
Kingsley, of Syracuse, New York. Oa the
heels of Kingsley was another man, bleeding
and burnt, and holding out his charred bands
to the palming, frightened crowd. Still another
man, bleeding, howling, and feerfolly burned,
followed. The alarm was Bo great that neither
of these could tell how many ethers had shared
their fate, or suffered eves more by Wining
GOODS!
I.oe In a Cottage.
DY I. P. WILLIS
They may talk of lore in a cottage,
And bowers of trellised rine—
Of nature bewitchingly simple,
And milkmaids half divine ;
They may talk of the pleasure of sleeping
In the shade of a spreading tree,
And a walk in the fields at morning,
By the side of a footstep free!
But give me a slight flirtation
By the light cf a chandelier,
With music to play in the pauses,
And nobody very-near ;
Or a seat on a silken sofa,
With a glass of pure old wine,
And Mamma too blind to discover
The small white hand in mine
Your love in a cottage is hungry,
Your vino is a nest of flies—
Your milkmaid shocks the Graces,
And simplicity talker of pies ;
You lie down to your shady slumber,
And wake with a bug is your ear ;
And your damsel who walks in the morning
Is shod like a mountaineer.
True love is at home on a carpet,
And mightily likes his ease ;
And true love has an eye for his dinner,
And starves beneath shady trees.
His wing is the fan of a lady,
His foot's an invisible thing,
And his arrow is tipped with a jewel,
And shot from a silver string.

on the .ground. They. reported as many as
fifty parsons having been. la the immediate
vicinity of the well when the explosion took
plate, and that et lout half of these had been
probably burned to death on the grOund. The
Consternation for ten minutes was immense.
Millions of property were in peril and liven
already lost. Immediate squads of workmen
were organised, who, with shovels and spades.
worked upon the eater edge of the fire to stay
its progress. So soon as the fire demon had
licked up the oil on the ground, it began grad
ually to die out on the borders, and finally,
in the space of two hours, was wholly con.
tented at the well. Engine house, derricks,
tanks and evergreen trees had been burned.
The fire was still roaring at the month of the
tubing. The oil and gas in immense .quanti—
ties, in consequence of the great vacuum pro.
doted at the bottom of the well, poured forth
only to leap into furious flames, while the
upright portion of the tubing dripped with
liquid fire. Loring the night men labored to
devise some plan for its extinguishment. Al
length three pieces of tubing screwed together
were, by means of a flannel, run into the
mouth of the tubing whence the oil issued in
flames, and finally fastened, so that the oil
was conducted forty or fifty feat further off.
By the free use of wet blankets the ilia was
at length subdued at one o'clock this's:lsom
lug, when a shout arose from the men engaged
as if a victory over the reliel hordes had been
gaited. In the meantime it was learned that
none had been burned alive, and that but six
had failed to escape unhurt. These were La.
clue Kiogley, of Syracuse, N. Y., not expect
ed to live, though there is hope ; Curtis Arm
strong, of Clarion county, Pa.; John Dugan,
of Pennsylvania; A. P. Ford, of Niagara
Palle, badly burned on the breast, and legs
and hands; and Mr. Gregory, of New York
city, and his lady, to whom he was showing
the well when the explosion took place. It is
hoped that all of these will recover, though
in the 0166 of the first two. it is very doubtful.
The Well is again running this morning in a
hole dug for the purpose. Its yield since the
fire, with the sucker rods yet in, cannot be
less than 400 barrels. It promises to be the
largest well on Pithcle creek. This morning
it is flowing more beautifully in a continuous
stream, arid already gives assurances of being
the largest well on Pithole. Thio fire will be
very important in teaching the necessity of
not testing wells by pumping theta on the
ground. This morning the people are gathered
about the weU curiously gazing at the few
ruins that yet remain. This well, hereafter
to be famous, is partly owned by the United
Slates Company. Fortunately no lives were
lost, though it is miraculous that any escaped.
A Woman Poisoned by her Son.
The Chicago Triiune says that on Sunday
afternoon the residents in the vicinity of the
corner of North Wood and lonlisna streets
were startled by bearing a little girl crying
out in a plaintive voice, " Grandma's dead !
oh, grandma's dead!" Some of the persons
who had overheard the child's lamentations
went to where she was on the sidewalk, and
upon asking her the cause of her sorrow were
informed that Mrs. Mary Burns, the child's
grandmother, and the mother of Thaddeus
Burns, a dissipated scoundrel, was dead, and
that her (the child's) father was in the house
very drunk, and refused to let her touch' the
body. The child was oared for by a neighbor,
and the fact of Mrs. Burn's death was whis—
pered from ear to ear, soon becoming the
topic of conversation in the neighborhood.
These who were acquainted with• "Thad."
Burns, - knew him to be a desperate chase.
ter, full of cruelty, aid a man who would not
hesitate to commit any crime on the calendar,
if approached in one of his drunken fits, and
therefore it was not thought prudent to ins
quire othim, personally, in regard to the old
lady's sudden demise—sudden it was, because
she was seen by neighbors in the fall enjoy
ment of health not more than two hours before.
The child had been absent from home during
the afternoon, and her return found the grand
mother lying on her face on a lounge, and
her father sitting at a table in a drunken
stupor, but sufficiently wakeful to tell her
not to disturb her grandmother as she wag
asleep. That was all the information they
could obtain from her. Mrs. Williams, a
neighbor, had seen Barns chasing his wife
through the yard about 4 o'clock. She saw
him catch her by the throat with one hand
and strike her several terrible blows ho the
face with the other hand; saw him drag her
into the house. Mrs. Williams screamed, and
told Burns not to kill his wife, but he only
answered by pounding her harder.
About 7 o'clock in the evening, the wife of
"Thad." Burns was seen to emerge from the
house by those on the lookout and they im
mediately plied her with questions in regard
to the grandmother's death, but it was evi
dent she was disinclined to give the informs.

they got from her the following facts : That
Burns came into the house about 3 o'clock in
an intoxicated condition, bringing with him
a pitcher of beer. Dinner was about ready,
and the family, consisting of old Mrs. Burns,
and "Thad." and his wife, sat down to eat.
Among the other dishes on the board was
some soup, which Mei. Burns, Jr.;refused to
partake of. This, together with her refusal
to drink the beer which he poured out, exas—
perated Burns, and he swore she should both
eat of the soup and drink of the beer. She
stoutly declined, and he, finding that words
would not prevail, took hold of her and at—
tempted by main strength to force some of
the beer down her throit.
A desperate scuffle ensued, and old Mrs.
Burns came between them and forced Burns
to re l ease hi s hold, whea the wife escaped
through the door. She said that as she ran
out she saw her husband clutch his mother
and throw her heavily' upon the floor. She
remained hidden in the yard about an hour
when her brutal husband made search and
discovered her hiding place, dragged and
pounded her as was witnessed by Mn.e Wil—
liams. When she was brought into the house
she found her mother-in-LW lying on the
lounge in the same position described by the
little girl. • Barns told her she was asleep,
and threatened vengeance_ if she disturbed

Double Murder in Bliehigan.
The Detroit Free Press flays that on Sunday
and Monday last two murders were perpetra
ted at the quiet village of Grass Lake, on the
line of the Michigan Central railroad.
Two discharged soldiers, named Joseph P.
Henry and a man named Short, arrived
Grass Lake lately in company with two women
of disreputable character. Henry was form
erly a member of Loomis' battery, and came
from Coldwater. Short was in a Michigan
cavalry regiment, and came from Louisville,
Ky. He heA, we understand, respectable
punts, his father being a pilot on one of the
Mississippi steamboats. The party went to
Grass Lake on Monday, the 23ch ult., and put
up at a hotel kept by Elijah Wheaton. They
remained there all the week, spending money
freely, the women doing their full share• in
that line. Short, it is said, had $l,OOO, and
Emu also had a large amount of money in
his possession.
On Sunday evening, about 8 o'clock, one of
the women, in furtherance of a no doubt pre
viously concocted plan, took upon - herself the
hellish purpose of murdering Short by pois
oning his liquor. Procuring a quantity of
Morphine, she mixed it with a drink he was
;about to take, and, not suspecting anything
wrong, he quaffed the poison off at a draught.
In a short time he became ill, and kept grow
ing worse until about 1 o'clock, when he died,
having suffered untold agonies. The next,
morning, on sedrch being instituted,-no money
could be found on his person,. Meantime,
Henry and the two females had made prepa
rations to depart on the cars, leaving Short
to be buried at the landlord's expense. To
this arrangement he would not submit, and a
difficulty ensued, A citizen of Grass Lake
named David Smolk interested himself for the
landlord, and the matter was appare - ntly set
tled by Henry and the women leaving suffi
cient money with the landlord to bury the
murdered man.
After this, Smolk, Henry and the females
adjourned to a grocery to take a drink, which
was done. Smolk suggested a second, which,
after some loud talk, was complied with:.
Smolk swore that Henry should go a third
treat, or he would prevent there from leaving.
Henry swore that "he be d---d if he would
treat or drink any more." This brought on
high words and retaliatory threats, and when
the excitement was at its height, Henry drew
a knife, about six or eight inches long, and
planged it into Smolk's breast, inflicting a
fatal wound. Ho lingered about fifteen min
utes, and at 10} o'clock yesterday morning
breathed his last. Henry was arrested im—
mediately after committing the fatal act, and
detained until the next train for Jackson,
where he was sent. The women were detained
at Grass Lake, where two coroner's juries
were impannelled to hold inquests on the
bodies of the murdered men.

A Man Kills Another for Seducing
his Wife.
One of those melancholy occurrences which,
before war made life so cheap in the eyes of
the community, would have startled the whole
of Nashville throughout all her borders, took
place yesterday afternoon, towards night. It
appears that Mr. B. 11. Payne, one of the
grocery firm of Payne, James & Co., procured
last winter, through the courts, a divorce
from his wife on sonount of an illicit connec
tion between her and Mr. S. Shadrach Allen.
While the trial was in progress, Payne de.
(dared that if he succeeded in fixing upon
Allen the guilt of seducing - his wife he would
certainly kill him.
On yesterday afternoon, between 4 and 5
o'clock, as Allen was sitting with a party of
friends in front of a window of a saloon next
to the livery stable of J. B. Parrish, No. 64
South College street, debating the proposition
to buy a. drove of mules and take them down
South to sell, Payne advanced to where the
party was engaged in conversation. As he
reached the spot where Allen est, he exclaim.
ed in a loud tone, "Mr. Allen I" Just as the .
man addressed looked up, Payne discharged
a pistol at altitost point blank range, the ball
hitting the pectoral, muscle at the arm-pit,
making only a trifling wound. At this the
whole party jumped to their feet, and tried
to get out of 'the way. Jut then the pistol
was again discharged, the shot wounding -a
run named Cochrane, who was standing in
the door of the saloon, in the hand, and se-*
verely but not dangerously in one thigh. By
this time Mr. Allen had succeeded in getting
a revolver out of his pocket, but, before he
could nee it, he received the third charge of
his assailant's weapon, the ball striking .the
left third rib, which it broke, and passed
over into the body, lacerating the upper per•
Lion. of the heart, producing almost instant
death, as the man walked only six or seven
steps, and, falling, expired. The body was
immediately carried home to the residence of
the deceased on Summer street, beyond Broad.
On the way it was met by the distracted wife,
whose shrieks alarmed the whole neighbor.

lINTIIISIID SOLEMN* AVENGING TURIN Do
mum harusiza—The Cleveland Plain Dealer
says: Nearly every paper we take up brings
via accounts of returned soldiers, finding that
their wives have been too intimate with other
men during their absence, are taking the law
in their s own bands. A returned soldier in
Fort Wayne, last Monday, killed his wife's
paramour. Near Janesville, Wis., a similar
tragedy occurred last week. A Mr. Jos
Smith shot his brother-in-law in St. Paul
last week, for seducing his wife during his
absence in the-army. The " Loyal Leagues
and "Christian Commissions" are somewhat
in - fault for not taking vire of the widows as
they promised.

Diabolical Outrage.
We learn from the Evansville Journal that
a most infamous outrage was committed by
two negroes upon . the person of Mrs. Du'lin
ger, who, scalding in the vicinity of that
'lace, was on her way to church. The account
states that she being a stout woman, about
forty-five or fifty years of age, made for a
time a successful resistance, when one of the
brutes drew ayocket knife and cut her should
er. Growing faint from loss of blood, she
was overpowered by the brutes and dragged
across 'a fence into a corn-field, where her
person was viplatetl, by both, who then made
a delitierate attempt to kill her, but were
ftightenee4way by hearing persona approach
ing. The whole neighborhood was quickly
aroused, and turned out in attach of the
brutes'who committed the crime. The Journal
of August lat., gives the conclusion of the
matter, as follows:
The two negro brutes, who so fiendishly
maltreated a,white woman on Sunday, fear
fully expiated their crime yesterday after
noon. Early yesterday morning a crowd of
excited people commenced collecting around
the Court liouse and Jail, demanding that
the prisoners be delivered up to'tiern. The
demand - was refused, of course, and at noon
the crowd dispersed, and it was hoped that
better counsels would prevail, and that the
guilty wretches would be left to the due
course of law. But, after noon, the crowd.
assembled again, and the excitement bail evi.
dently increased, - and continued to increase
until about 34 o'clock, when the front door of
the jail building was broken open with a
sledgehammer; and the crowd rushed into
the jail. flow they reached the prisoners we
did not learn, but they were soon dragged
forth into the street, beaten down with clubs
and shpt. After they were dead they were
taken up and hanged to a lamp post on the
corner of the street, where they were hang
ing at a late hour in the evening. They were,
nliimately, we learn, taken down and buried.
It was the first scene of the kind ever enacted
in Evansville,• and for the fair fame of the
city, we hope it will be the last.
Every oue execrates the abominable and
brutal crime committed by the negroes, but
mob law is a dangerous remedy for evils of
this or any kind, and all good citizens deplore
to resort to it; and we hope this fearful and
summary punishment will prove such a warn •
lug, that we shall never again hear of euch.a
crime in our midet. f
ANOTIISR NIGRO OUTRAGR.—The usual
quiet of Greenport, L. 1., has been consider..
ably disturbed during the past week, growing
out of an alleged attempt by a colored barber
to outrage the person of a respectibla mar—
ried white lady residing 'next door to him.
The facts are thus stated: The barber is a man
of some property, and has heretofore borne a
good character in the town ; but early one
morning last week he ao far forgot himself as
to seize the lady alluded to in the rear of his
hcuse, where she had gone for a pitcher of
water, and endeavored to make her submit to
his embraces. He did not succeed in his
efforts, however, and the lady Immediately
stated the circumstances to her husband. He
advised with his neighbors as to what course
to pursue in the matter, but before they came
to any conclusion, news of the transaction
spread throughout the town, and some eight
teen or twenty young men visited the barber's
shop and carried him to the outskirts of the
town. After some little delay a pail of tar
and a bag of feathers were procured, when
the offender was divested of his clothing
and completely covered with that garment of
lawless fame kitoirn as 46 a coat of tar and
feathers." It is believed that the man re•
ceived no further injury. A gentlemin in the
town sympathizing • with the barber, offered
$lOO for the apprehension of the young men,
but he has been threatened with a like visit
it is said for his interference.
Newtons 'Ns ruE R.t.nraox.--Several in
stances of the infatuation which 'has taken
possession of the negro mind occurred on
Friday and Saturday night.
On Friday night; two negroes, Jos. Royal
and Edward Duke, were arrested up town, in
the act of waylaying and robbing a citizen.
One of the negroes got into the gutter, the
other laid behind a tree box, and when the
citizen passed along the negroes sprang out
upon him. The guard, who had been watch
ing them, jumped oat and fired at the negro
Who had the club raised, striking him in the
arm and disabling it. Both negroes were
arrested and taken to the lock-up. On one
of them was found a villainous club, such as
is used by the Patagonians, staffed full of
nails, to make iti heavy at the need, and
spiked around by spikes that stuck out at
least two inches. A person struck by such an
instrument would die, otcouree. On the per
son of the other negro was found a fearful
sword bayonet and a long bowie knife, both
equally sanguinary. They were locked up
for examination. Wm'. Johnson, colored,
was arrested upon suspicion, and upon his
person was found an overgrown revolver and
a bowie knife, which be was flourishing
sienna, swearing that no man could take
him to the watch house, He found out his
mistake. Liberty and freedom don't mean
unlimited license.—. Richmond Whig.
A correspondent of the Dispatch, writing
from New York city, sag, "We have had
five pr fix murders since day before yesterday,
but there is nothing interesting enough In any
of them to mention. They don't interest any
body, any more. The time was when a good
wife murder (1 speak professlonall") was
worth fifty dollars to any reporter, now it is
scarcely worth reporting. People's minds are
getting wonderfully perverted."
