"locai/ anii general. —Rocholl, the enterprising organ and pia-jo agent, sold two organs last Saturday and one Monday morning. —The most trying circumstances under which a boy can be, is when another boy is in the alley winking at him and bis father is offering him a nickel to carry in a pile ol wood. —A careful observer remarks that now is the tirueof vear when the newly-fledged graduate hesitates about becoming an editor right off or going as a waiter in a summer hotel. —Mr. Aaron Hughes has purchased a bar ber shop at No. 47, Ohio street, Allegheny and has sold his shop in Butler to Josepu Wagner. —We direct attention to B.

The hole is now 1,260 feet deep, is through the second gaud, and will be drilled to the third in the hope of obtaining oil. —During the late squeeze in the oil market several large lots of oil in Pittsburgh, whicfh were bought above a dollar, were thrown upon the market, the owners being compelled to close out at a heavy loss. One lot of 300,000 barrels which was dropped represented a loss of about $250,000. —There was joy and rejoicing in the Sand wich Islands over the nomination of Blaine, and when Mr. Thos. G. Thrum, the editor of the Saturday Prtm, of Honolulu, 11. 1., receiv ed the news he hastened to send his congratu lations to his contemporaries across the water, in the shape of a printed postal card of the "Universal Postal Union," one of which we have received. —One of the most remarkable sights to be witnessed in Western Pennsylvania, or through oat the State for that matter, is at present at tracting the attention of the dwellers along the Youghiogheny river between McKeespc t and Bradford. The river between the points named is filled with dead fish floating with the sluggish tide, or drifting shoreward, where in the heavy grasses and shrubbery bordering the stream they lie decomposing tinder the swelter ing heat of the summer sun, tainting the sur rounding atmosphere with foul odors. The fish were killed by sulpher water from some new coal mines along the river. —A strange looking animal was to be seen on Jefferson street, near Jackson and John lleid. Samuel Steen haw brought suit vs. Geoc Brunnermer, of Petersville for slander. Lewis W. Douglas has brought suit for sli der vs. George Brunermer. Well News. What is known as the Sam Armstrong wl, on the Marshall place alonir Thorn Crik, reached the ihlrd sand last Thursday, and »n Friday made some small flows. Early Satr day morning, while there was no one at >e well, the rig took fire and wax destroyed. Em ber was sent out that afternoon, the rig wilbe rebuilt immediately aud drilling will piobaly be continued to-day or to-morrow. The hie is full of salt water, but if the flow of gasn creaae* it will clear it. The sand is said tif.e good, aud the owners are expecting a laje well. The well flows every half hour, an at each flow discharges from 1 to 2 barrels obi I with the salt water, which is, at presentil lowed to run to waste. There is every India tion of a large well. The well owned by Reibe;-, Campbell nd others, on the Hazlett farm, south-west of twn and near the Cooper well on the Pearcc frm, reached the stray sand on Monday eveningind will be completed this week. The Bauer farm well should reach the aud by the first of next week. Agnew s No. 2, on the Green farm, wil lie completed in a few days. Keep & Sutton's well, on the Kesscllian farm, near St. Joe, will be in by the 4th. Sine oil was obtained iu the third sand and the hole filled up 800 feet. The oil market ou Monday broke from 0 to 60, when the news of the flays aud Garland strike, near Warren, came in, and the maket will probably go to 50, although (he repor for iftMt week in very 4< lju] 1 iHli," com parati ely very few wells being drilled and rigs builung. A Tremendous Gas Well. At a depth of 11 0' i feet the second sandwas reached at the Beed well, on the Jo*. Cri well place, in Butler township, last Thursday ceri ing, and the well immediately began to low gas heavily. The drillers Yeagel aud Miler, continued drilling until they were two feit iu the sand, by which time the flow of gas wa so heavy they had to desist. Some six-inchca*- Ing was arranged to run the gas ofr fron the well a rod or so, aud on Friday it was ignicd, and now lights up the country at nigh>for miles around. The well is located in the 10I low, through which flows Bean's run, anl as there is a high bill between it and Butle*, it is not seen here as plainly aa it otherrixe would, but it is a large gas well, as lar(K an either of the wells struck on the Dully firm, near St. Joe, ten years ago, The gas ruibes through the six inuh casing and the flane is the largest we have ever seen coming fr«m a well. Another effort was made to drill ou Saturday morning but was given up, a> the heavy iron bailer could not be forced cbwu the hole. Of course the tools could lie run down and drilling be continued through the sand, allowing the gas to keep the hole clear, but then they would have to stop, This well is two miles or less, directly south of tht cen tral part of the town. It would cost soma money to rut| the gus to Itutler, raoru or less #j.cordlug to the si*c of the pipe used, but tfiere is enough gas there to run a hundred glass works of the size of the oue now located here. Beed has four more rij;s up and build llitf ip that viciniiy~-one oach on the Samuel Hbatl'ner, John ShafTiier, Frank Cook and Brown places, and drilling will begin at the S. Hhafluer well this week. Struck by Lightning. A ;ffic thunder stormjpassed over Western Penr>ania and Eastern Ohio last Tuetday, daimjr much property, and kil'iug several per»find a large number of live stoek. Here in l»r, shortly after noon of that day, a tree ie lot of Dr. Johnston, the dentist, on was struck, the hemp clothes line tl ed to it cut off, and Mrs. Benninger, is almost 100 feet d-stant f om the tree Tendered insensible bv the B hock for souitars. Mrs. Cyrus Anderson, whose homelmost 300 feet from the tree, and who, at thiie, was taking dry clothes from a rue talic.*, received a severe shock. Five years ago jrge wild-cherry tree in Purvis' field near was struck bv lightning and pieces wciap fifteen pounds thrown oyer 200 feet.

It strume corner of the stable and shattered it, tisought the other corner and running dowit the rope by which a calf was tied to the icr post, but did not injure either the calfi horse near by it. The calf, however, waslly scared, and ran around the yard as thotthe Old Nick was alter it. Another boltnck the brick bouse of Mrs. William Mii.on Main street, shattered a chimney, andining down through the house did con sidde damage. This was the extent of the da irt done here, but outside of the town and in tsounty, the large barn of Mrs. A. Baker, of erson township, was struck, set on fire amtilly destroyed, together with grain, hay, farrnachinery, wagons, etc., the live stock aloieiog saved. Some telegraph poles are als«d to have been shattered. At Murrays viliWestmoreland county, a boy named Wend four hcrses were struck by lightning anetantly killed. A younger brother of thqr was badly burned. At Waynesburg, pa,iss Josie Keener and \\ illiam Paver weser:ouslv injured by a lightning bolt, wh also killed three horses.

The mother and far of the children were at a circus. At llfield Springs, N. Y., a man named Waffle sfed with a load of lumber for Springfield, a when about three miles from the village a hof lightning knocked down one of his tees and a second one killed hitn instantly. 1 horse finally recovered and got up, and t team took the wagon to the home of his ier, where it drew up in front of the door. 'i hands of the dead man still grasped the f lines. The fluid appears to have run lund his body, and then jumped to the (und, which it tore up for several feet. • —The many friends here of Mr. C. N. Payne ' il rejoice to hear that he has resumed busi '• is, and that his embarrassment was but tem -0 rary. The Oil City Blizzard says: "The lt lure of Mr. Payne to get his sheet through l ' e clearing house was not due to the lack of 8 ;ans, but to a lack of ready cash. Mr. yne is represented by a friend as having 1 0,000 worth of property which would have en easily convertible in ordinary times, it just when in a pinch he wanted a few hun ed dollars in cash he couldn't get it. Of urse, when the true condition became known 1 oney was forthcoming, but that did not pre e >nt the report of his failure." f A Good Hand-Book. J We have received from Prof. J, A. Cooper, ' f the Edinboro State Normal School, his new 'and-book and catalogue of the school.
