MISCELLANEOUS READING.
\ BURNING WELL IN ILLINOIS.

We had the pleasure Of meeting few
evenings since, at the American House in
this city, Mr.. David Yaple and family from
Erie county, Pennsylvania, who were on
their way To visit some relations about fifty
miles south of pekin. From them we gath
er some interesting facts relating 70 burn
ing well, arciiently discovered, q short dis
tance from Boyd's Grove. in Bureau county,
about three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
| of last week. ltappears that, on the prem
lseS OF farmer whose name our informant
had forgotten and within few feet Of his
house, which was u fine two-story dwelling,
a well had been previously dug, thrty-seyen
teet in depth. and which had become en-
tirely dry From the bottom of it the pro
prietor had commenced boring for water, and
the operator had at this time reached still
further distance, of forty feet, when he
struck spring that commenced rapidly
flowing; so great was the discharge that
frightened from his work, he fled, leaving
the auger in the hole. On reaching the sur
face he called for little girl to light can
die for the purpose of letting down in the
well, when as she opened the door of the
house with il in her hand, the atmosphere
around seemed TO take fire, but after one fash
the blaze was confined TO the vicinity Of the
well. reaching to the height of fifteen feet
and upwards. The little girl was badly
burnt upon the arm and other parts Of the
body: the man who had escaped from the
well had one side Of his face completely
blistered, while another workman, making
the only three who were present, was also
considerably injured by the sudden fash.
The nelghborhood was Of course soon arous-
ed. and although hundreds visited the spot,
many working night and day, it was not un-
til Friday morning that the flames were
completely extinguished. During this time
piazza attached to the house was first re
moved, next complete wing, in order to
save the main building, as in every change
of the wind the flames were driven in that
direction with such force as even to char
the woodwork. The well was again filled
up with earth, but to little avail as regards o
final extinguishment as Mr.. faple. when he
visited the spot on Friday morning, describes
the flames a. breaking through the loose
earth of the well like flashes of gunpowder
running along upon the ground. When no
left, the fire upon the surface appeared to DO
smothered, which had been finally accom-
plishcd by the crowd beating upon it with
Hat boards. Such occurrences were former
ly quite frequent in the vicinity Of the Mus
kingum river and other PORTIONS of Ohio, as
well rs other Western States, but the find
ing of such a reservoir Of inflammable gas in
this section Of Illinois, is somewhat remark
able TtzemcU Register.
