Half a dozen wells in Jc-fferaon Center field, on the Byerlcy, Gnnst, and Fisher farms are expected to be completed thiß week. The field is now producing about 2400 bbls. daily. "The Elclio Oil Co. of Pittsburg is report ed to have purchased the McMarlin and Covert farms near Mars Station. John McKeown, the wealthiest oil pro ducer on the continent, died at his home in Washington, I'a., last Sunday, from asthma, aged 53 years. He was born in Ireland in 1838, came to this country in 1865, went to the oil country, and met with varying fortune, u* lie was sold out by the Sheriff five times. He was lucky on the Moore farm near Parker, lucky in the Bradford field, and very lucky in the Washington field. At his death be owned valuable oil property in this State, West Virginia and Ohio, cattle lands in the West, and timber land in the South, and city property, altogether valued at $5,000,- 000. It is claimed that at the recent meeting of oil producers at Warren, at which a Producers' Union was formed, fifty per cent, of the total Pennsylvania production was represented. The proposition of the producers is to build their refineries in the vicinity of tire wells. It is their design to form a stock company with an immense caitUal, a considerable portion of which has been subscribed by Eastern capitalists. By refining the oil at points between I'itts burg und Bradford, a pipe line to Philadel phia or New York for crude oil will not be necessary, and, therefore, was not favor ably considered by the meeting. The pro ducers favorable to the plans above stated argue that even if much cheaper pipeage rates were established to the seaboard it would not be inimical to the independent refining industry at inland points. A curious phenomenon lately occurred in Nos. 1, 4, and 5 oil wells on tho Wright farm near Washington, Pi. Not long since these three wells, which had been producing 13 barrels per day for four years, increased their production to 23 barrel*. Tho cause of the increase was a great sur prise to oil men, and is explained in the following manner: About the time these wells began to increase their production a roaring flow of gas was struck at the MC- Nary well, 000 feet distant, in the fifth sand. The oil in the Wright wells is pumped from the fifty-foot, and the tremendous flow of gas coming up through the hole presses heavily against the fifty foot and forces the oil in that stratum in tho direction of tho Wright wells and in creases their production. Farmers" Institute. MK. EDITOR: A Earners, Institute will be held under the auspices of the State Board of Agriculture, at Renfrew in tho Opera Bouse on Wednesday February 25th 1801.

Three of the Hungarians implicated in the riot at Braddock, a month or so ago. were found guilty of murder in the first degree, in the criminal Court of Allegheny county, last Saturday. C. C.

The Beaver County Farmers' Alliance has petitioned the Legislature to abolish the office of County Superintendent of Schools. Fred Johnston, of Centertown. Mercer Co. was killed last Thursday, by the ex plosion of the boiler of a well, being drilled near Wilmington. A piece of the boiler weighing two tons was thrown 500 feet up the hill. A TitusTille young man courted • girl up to the engagement point, and to help things along purchased her a handsome wedding outfit. But she ee&sed to love him before tie day for the wedding ar rived, and finally jilted him. Romeocould stand the loss of bi 1 all right, but he didn't propose to lose the clothes too, hence his plain, business like demand that she disgorge. In fact be went after the clothes himself, got Ihem, and lugged them home under his arm. They'll do for some other bridi. A woman in Grove City sewed thirty-five pounds of carpet rags in one week. One of Blairsville'o most wealthy and shrewd business men takes a section of old fashioned"' ginger bread to his room at nigiit and while reading the evening papers munches the reductive sweet cake. He knows a good thing when he sees it. Meadville is to have an electric street railway. Four miles of tract will be laid to begin with and the road is to be in oper ation by September 1, 1891. The trolley system is to be used. The question as to the availability ot artificial gas as a substitute for natural gas, appears to have been settled by the New Castle Wire Nail Co. says the Courant. The system they have in operation at their rod mill in this city gives good results, and that, too, with a saving in labor aud fuel that should recommend it for all places where a similar arrangement could be need. The great rapidity with which steel ail le's can be heated at the rod mill shows that the same system would be equally advantageous in rolling mills and glass works, where an intense and uniform de gree of heat is required, and the absence of smoke and dirt is a desideratum. There are only six small generators at the rod mill, and one of them is generally under going repairs, so that only five are in oper ation, and yet 225,000 pounds of billets can be heated and made into wire in eleven hours. ~ A sofa with a history fell into the hands <>f a neighboring upholsterer the other day for repairs. When taken apart there were found between the back and the cushion 47 hairpins, 3 moustache combs, 19 suspender buttons, 13 needles, 8 cigarettes, 4 pho tographs, 217 pins, some grains of coflee, a few cloves, 27 cuff buttons, 0 pocket knives, 15 poker chips, a vial of homoeo pathic medicine, 34 lumps of chewing gum, 59 toothpicks, 28 matches, and 4 button hooks. The sofa belonged to a man who had several unmarried daughters. A mm worth $50,000 walked into a saloon in New Castle, lately aud sold seven half-pint whisky bottles for seven cents. Jadge Mehard of Mercer Co. granted 13 hotel and restaurant licenses, and refused 8. Among those refused license were the Whistler house at Mercer and the Pierce and KnaufThouses at Sharpsville. Ohe day last week a deer was captured in Diamond Valley by a gentleman named Brumbaugh, says the Huntingdon Journal. Coming upon the deer standing quietly in the woods, Mr. Baumbaugh made his way towards it, but instead of running away, as be supposed it would, the animal lowered its head and "went for" Mr. B. Siezing it, by the horn, for it had only one, the other having been broken off, he had little trouble capturing it. After securing it was taken to Barred and turned loose in a stable, where it died in a day or two. Through mere curiosity some persons about the place disemboweled the animal and were aston ished at being unable to find the least sign of a liver. The deer did not appear to be sick when captured, but it was evidently suffering from diseases, olae it would not have submitted to capture without an effort to make its escape. We have often heard it taid of men that they "had no heart," but this is the first instance that we ever heard of a deer without a liver. The Markets. BL'ILKR MARKETS.
