DECEMBER OIL REPORT The Titus\iJle Herald gives ll.e following re.'unit' of tho oil trade for Ih<- past month: "Great activity in every portion of the oil region marked the month of December. With few exceptions, every district shows an in crease in developments, not only in wells completed but in rigs up and building, and wells drilling. Produc ers have taken advantage of good weather, and under the stimulation of advanced prices have pushed the drill iu every direction, and completed 220 wells, having a production of 5,900 barreis ; besides 343 wells drilling and 301 rijrs up or building to be used in increasing the production of the mouth of January. The lower oil field was of so little importance last month, except on the Jluuter farm at Byrom Centre, that it is not necessary to use its figures in connection with the summing up of further operations. Tl'C Bradford field is the only one which effects the mar ket. In Dccemljer 188 wells were com pleted in that district, with a produc tion of 5,657 barrels, and G57 rigs are now up or building and wells drilling. This is an increase in the latter of 52 over the figures for December 1, while 40 more wells were completed, increas ing the production 1,592 barrels more than the November wells. The pro duction also exceeds that of October by 820 barrels. These figures our readers will not apply only to the Bradford field. The following table will also show the number of actually new rigs aud wells started in that field during December: Rigs and wells drilling December 1 *>ls Wells finished in December 188 Leaving wells and rigs reported December 1 aud unfinished Bigs and wells drilling January 1 ~l" _ Less wells and rigs unfinished iu December..42< Leaves the number of new ones started in December This is seven less than the number started in November, showing that fresh operations in December did not exceed those of the previous month. The greater average per well arises from the small number of dry holes and the large strikes on the Rew farm and between Cole creek and Kin/.ua. Kendall creek, Cole creek, Kinzua and Kansas branch arc the four districts in which the iucrease of production is noted, while the same points show a decrease in rigs and wells drilling, though it is slight. There is a do crease in the production below that of November in the East and West branches, Tram Hollow, Indian and Meek creeks. A PERILOUS PLUNGE. [Pittsburgh (inzette, Jan. 2.] A frightful plunge was made yester day morning about two o'clock by one John Brown, of Temperanceville. lie had been in the city, vigorously and energetically getting ready to turn over a new leaf on the Ist of January, 1880, and after having a good deal of fun with the boys in the Diamond al ley and other popular resorts, began to wend his way to Temperanceville When he reached the approach to the Point bridge his gait was very un steady, and as a result he staggered and fell over the abutment into the tur bid waters below, a distance of fully sixty feet. The cold bath sobered John sufficiently to make him under stand that he bad got into deep water, and that he would have to swim for his life. He was too much befuddled, however, to take the bearings, and he struck out at random, his course chanc ing to be directly down the Ohio. Be ing an expert swimmer, Brown had no difficulty in keeping afloat, so he ploughed the waves like an ocean steamer, until be reached a point nearly opposite Saw Mill run, about a mile below the bridge, when he had completely recovered his senses, and, finding he had passed his home, he speedily made a landing, none the worse -.or his perilous trip—in fact, something better, for he started home very drunk and got there sober. Ci'Riocs I'BOPOSALS. —When Lord Strangford sat down to criticise a book of travels by Miss Beaufort, he little dreamed that before long he would write to the young authores3: "I was thinking the other day about a commu nication from the Emperor Akbar to the King of Portugal, which contained a request for copies of the holy books of the Christians, and in which the fol lowing sentence occurs: "In the world of humanity, which is the mirror and reflection of the world of God, there is nothing equal to love or comparable to human affection.' For many years I have felt and known this, though I never said it till to-day to any one. When you next write, please give me the possessive pronoun of the first per son." Surely never was a declaration made in a quainter fashion, saving per haps by the Scotch beadle who led the manse housemaid to the church yard, and pointing with his finger, stam mered: "My folk lie there, Mary, wad ye like to lie there?" Or the lugubri ously humorous Irish lover who took his girl to see the family vault, and then there asked her if she would like to lay her bones beside his bones!— Chamhertf Journal. —Little Henry returns from cate chism. He wears an air of melan choly. "What's the matter, dear?" asks Aunt Augusta. "Monsieur le Cure is always scolding me! To-day he asked me how many Gods there were." "Well, you told him one, I suppose ?" "Oh, aunty ! I told him five, and that didn't seem to satisfy him!" —Our regiment was charging up a side hill, raked fore and aft with bat teries and sharpshooters. One fellow near me dropped on his hands and knees, and crawled on in that position toward the enemy, when the Colonel caught him in the rear with the flat of of his sabre. "Get up, you darned fool. Do you think you are cavalry ?" —"Pa," said a little boy, "a horse is worth a great deal more, isn't it, after it is broke?" "Yes, my sou. Why do you ask that question ?" "Be cause I broke the new rocking horse you gave me this morning." —What is tho difference between a hornet and a flea? One difference is that when you put your finger on a flea it isn't there, but when you put your finger on a hornet it is there. —A Maine editor was paralyzed while sitting in church last Sunday, and an esteemed contemporary thinks the novelty of the situation was too much for bim.
