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.
