VENANGO CO. —Jack Wick and Dick Reynolds got a 25 bbl. well in Sandy Creek twp. Venango Co. last week, and expect to have another soon. JEFFKRSON' —Phillips' well on Wilson Graham reached the sand last Saturday night, when the well began flowing oil and water over the derrick. It is third sand territory, and is considered the best well in the neighborhood. KAYLOK-The East Brady Oil Co's No. 3 on the Solomon Mays farm at Kaylor reached the oil sand on Thurs day after tapping a heavy gas pressure, and then started off to flow 60 barrels for the first hour, gradually dropping down to 10 barrels an hour Monday when a shot was pnt in and the well lje gau spouting oil at the rate of 100 barrels an hour. The heavy gas pres sure and big flow rendered it impossible to shut in the well for some little time, ; and when this was finally accomplished the drillers, derrick and everything else adjoining the well was covered and saturated with oil. The oil spouted high over the derrick and was the strongest flowing well that has yet been brought in by this fortunate company, as well as the biggest producer since l>eing shot. It is not, however, expected that this record will be kept up long as the ter ritory drops down in a few months to good steady producing wells of lit to 15 barrels a day, but continues this for years. It is a fine strike, the last lo cation the East Brady Oil Co. have on that lease. Adjoining them are Peters, Pitts & Davis Bros, on the Kaylor farm, who will start drilling this week their No. 2. This well is only about 50 feet from the East Brady Oil Co's No. 3. Miller & Co. on the Miller farm will reach the sand in tlieir No. 1 this week. Gibson & Co. on the McGarvey farm brought in a duster Monday—their No. 1. B. L. Barnhart is pushing the drill downward in his No. 7 on the Joseph Barnhart farm. —Review. Plumbing in the Country.

The singing was spirited and full of praise and was one of the convention's most pleasing features. Prof. Bruce Gill led the choir and Miss Zoe Hockenberry presided at the organ and both merit much praise. The enly criticism that could be made is that the meetings were not called to order promptly at the time scheduled.

Fruit of Mercer county and Sup't. Painter of Butler county. The purpose of this meeting.as we were informed by Sup't. Painter, was to brinir before the teachers, and especially the younger ones, some of the ordinary, practical. 1 yet important) school questions, which every teacher must meet in his or her work. He believes that much of the work done in the regular County Insti tute is rather beyond the average teach er and endeavored in this meeting to speak to the teachers on some import ant points which the paid instructors seldom mention. Each of the speakers made good prac tical addressees, and from the reports which come to us from various teachers, we think the meeting was a most decid ed success. Snp't. Painter had for each one pres ent a school law. a copy of the State Constitution, and some pictures. Through the kindness of the Bntler County National Bank each teacher also received a copy of the Butler County Centennial Souvenir. This is a new feature in the school work of Bntler county and we think Sup't. Painter is to l>e commended up on the untiring efforts which he is put ting forth in behalf of our schools.
