Dinner to the Soldiers.

The members of Co. d, 21st Pa Cavalry
remaining in this place, were treated by
several of our citizens, few days since, to
a substantial, old fashioned, homemade din
ner. The preparation of the dinner was en-
trusted TO mine host of the American, Mr.
Knecht and his most estimable lady, whose
services were rendered gratuitously, and who
also contributed most literally from their well
filed stores. Of course no mere need be
said to satisfy the public that the cuisane
was all that could be desired. For their
gentlemanly department the members of the
company are highly esteemed by our citizens,
who have taken this method ofshowihg their
appreciation of general good conduct. Both
officers and men of the company have reques-
ted US TO tender their sincere thanks to The
generous getters up of the feast.

Child Burnt; 70 Death.

On Thursday evening last, little girl
about three years old, daughter of Peter
Widner, laboring man residing near
this Town-while playing with the other
Children, came in contact with the fire
and her clothes caught. She ran out doors

house, and get in bed, where she fingered
in great pain till morning, when death
come to her relief. We learn that the
foot prints of the little sufferer are yet to
be seen, burned in the step or sill at the
door. The mother had gone to her faith

heard where the father was Poor little

BOROUGH BONDS.

We call the attention of our readers tc
the advertisement headed "Money Wanted. -
to be found in another column. AS the re-
sponsibility of the Borough may safely be
depended upon, and as the rate of interest is
fully equal to the maximum allowed by law,
there is no reason why capitalists, as sure
investment, should not take these Bonds
readily. But there is a reason why they
should take them eagerly. The object OF
the loan is to place means in the hands of
the Borough authorities TO enable them to
fill our quota under the recent call for 300,
600 men. Under all other calls the Borough
stands square with the War Department,
and as the signs of the times indicate spec
dy peace, it is fair to infer that if we fill
this quota, we shall be no more troubled for
men. All that is required to place us even
again, is that our citizens should subscribe
literally and speedily for these bonds The
longer these subscriptions are withheld the
greater viii be the expense and the trouble
of supplying men; and if we hesitate too
long we may find it too late to avoid :he
draft, and our Laborers and Mechanics, of
whom we by no means have an overstock,
be compelled to march
The man subject to draft, too, should feel
a particular interest in the taking of this
loan. If taken he is certain of the privilege
Of enjoying the comforts OF home. If not Ia
ken his chances are but one in three TO his
being compelled to march TO the braving of
the dangers and discomforts of war. He is
not asked TO give his money, but merely TO
place 1t Tor time in the keeping of the bo-
rough, for which the borough will pay him
interest, and at fixed period return
him the principal in fnll The loan. if Ia
ken as it should be, will be to him an ssur.
ance Of his safety from the draft.
Parents who have sons subject TO draft arc
also an interested party to the loan, and
should step forward promptly to aid the bo-
rough with their means, in its laudabIe Of.
forts to save them from the pains of parting
with their children. The bonds will he is
sued in sums of S25, $50 and 500. and
will, consequently, be within the reach of
aI-sums certainly hundreds of per cent
below what would be required 10 secure
substitute.
We hope the loan will receive that
prompt consideration and attention which
us Importance to our interests as men and
as community demands.

How An Oil Well is Bored.

A correspondent Of the Boston Travel
er writing from the oil regions of Penn
sylvania, gives the following description
of the manner in which oil is found:
''ln selecting a spot for 4 we'll, the ar
tesian driller raises a derrick about I1O
feet in height, bringing up steam en-
gine of about six horse power, and then
after driving down an iron pipe about six
inches in diameter through the earth and
gravel some fifty feet or so, to the first
Strata of rock, introduces drill. of about
two and half inches in diameter, at
tached TO Il temper screw, AMI thence to
the working beam" and engine, with
which he borcs now at the rate of eight
or ten feet per day into the solid slate and
soap stone, say, one hundred feet he then
comes to the first strata of sand stone.
which may be ten or twelve feet in thick
ness; and boring through this comes a.
gain to slate and soapstone of blush
cast, and working on, say for twenty feet
or so, he reaches the second strata of
sandstone, out of which there comes
rushing up, when the right vein is struck,
lntiamable gas, salt water and petroleum.
The bore of the well is enlarged by rim
mer, and then an iron tube, in sections
of about fourteen feet and closely screwed
together, is inserted in two sections and
run down to the veins of oil fax-secd
bag, which expands when wet, is fixed
between the tubing and the walls of the
we'll, in order to prevent the surface wa
ter from descending; "a plunger' or val
we'd piston is introduced into the tube.
and the smoking, rood, being attached to
the working -beam," the conduit pipes
and tanks, which may hold sixty barrels
being in readiness, the engine moves and
the precious treasure gushes forth. This
is what is called pumping well. In the
flowing wells" that is, such as send the
OIL spontaneously, the drill must 90 down
INTO the third strata of sand stone, butt
this, in some instances, is very deep InI
a well, on Watson's Flat, the drill has
reached the depth of three hundred feet
and yet the third bed of sand stone is not
reached"

those brethren step out of the bounds oi
courtesy and when We do so see them
we generally venture to give them little
sage advice, in hopes that they may there
by be induced to mend their ways. and
treat US, at least, as we endavor to treat
them. We presume our neghbor, in his
last Eagle, has yielded to our per-
suasion in Just SO far as he finds himself
enabled to yield. We are content with
the amend honorable as he has rendered
1t to US, because we well know the exis-

prompts the young fedgeling to venture
beyond the capacity of its wings and we
have charity. But we must contend that

we merel y informed him that We were the
responsible man, and that Mr.. Wolfwas not.

than that chosen by our neighbor, would
have seen at once, that we merely insinu-
ated a desire that Mr.. Wolf should be

Fall of Shohola Bridge,

The Suspension Bridge over the D ella
ware at Shohola, gave way about noon
on Saturday last, and it seems miraculous
that number of lives were not lost by
accident. There was on the bridge, at
the time it fell, two loaded teams with
their drivers, and three foot passengers
all Of whom were precipitated into the
water below. Mr.. Dunlap, one Of the
teamsters, was seriousy y injured. The
rest saved themselves by clinsing to the
broken ice, and swimming to the shore,
and escaped with but slight injury
Two of the horses were drowned, the o,
theirs succeeded in reaching the shore -
The fall was caused .by the giving way
Of one of the Cables on the Shoho!a side
letting the whole structure down. The
loss of this bridge will be seriously felt
by the inhabitants of Shohola, Barry,ilic
and vicinity.-Northern Eagle.
