seeing Throurh water.

The last number of the Edinburgh Re
viet0 says: "Currents in the very bed of a
river, or beneath the surface of the sea,
may be watched, as Mr.. Campbell informs
us, by an arrangement that smugglers used
in the old days. They sank their contra
band cargo when there was an alarm, and
they searched for it again by the help of a
so-called marine telescope. 1t was moth
ing more than a cask with plate of strong
glass at the bottom. The man plunged
the closed end few inches below the sur
face, and put his head into the other end,
and then he saw clearly into the water
The glare and confused reflections and re-
fractions from and through the rippled
surface were entirely shut out by this
contrivance. Seal hunters still use it
With this simple apparatus the stirring
life of the sea bottom can be watched at
leisure and with great distin nctness. so
far as this contrivance enables men to see
the land under the waves, movements
under water closely resemble movements
under air. Sea weeds, like plants, bend
before the gale; fish, like birds, keep
their head to the stream, and hang
poised on their fms; mud clouds take the
shape of water clouds in air; impeded
light, casts shadows, and takes shapes which
point out the direction in which currents
flow 1t is strange, at first, to hang over
a boats side peering into new world,
and the interest grows. There is excite
ment in watching big fish swoop like
hawks out of their sea-weed forest after q
white fly sunk to the tree tops to tempt
them, and the fight which follows is better
fun when plainly seem Vol i. P. 81
Mr.. Campbell suggests plate glass win
dows in the bottom of boat; it would
bring men and fish face to face; and the
habits of the latter could be leisurely
watched.

Accident.
NEWARK, n. J., November I5.-The eight
o'clock through train from New York for
Washington this morning, while under full
speed, ran off the track at a turn-table, about
one mile below Market street 1t was caused
through the neglect of the switch tender.
W. L. Gordon, proprietOrof Willard's Hotel,
was killed outright and boy named Brick,
from New Brunswick, was SO seriously in
jured that he has since died. G. W. Mosely,
a recently arrived Englishman, was fatally
injured, and Captain Mitchell, of the steam
er Colyer and several of his crew were in
jured slightly. Mr.. Gordon was from Hold
erness, New Hampshire, and was accOmpa-
MED by his wife and two children, who es-
capped.
The engineer discovered the dIspIacvmenJ
of the switch and put on the brakes in an
instant. The locomotive ran off the end de-
tached from the track. The smoking car
was literally demolished, the first passenger
car running nearly through it. The crash
was terrific and the scene is described
heart rending in the extreme. Few persons
in the smoking and first passenger cars es-
capped without some injury
Up TO two o'clock but four Of the passengers
had died. Eight or nine of the in jured
were carried to the Newark Hotel where
they received prompt medical attention. 1t

From Havana.
The Times Havana letter of the Sth re-
ports the defeat and capture of the Republi-
can Mexican Gen. 0rtega, in Michhoagsn,
and the destruction ofhis army. His troops
were divided into three bodies to capture
Morelia Reyes and some other oity, and
were beaten in detail and dispersed, four
hundred prisoners remaining in the hands
of the Imperialists.
The Republican General Dvas was said to
have led the attack on Morclia, and though
at first successful was finally obliged to

been disperced at Chilchotta, Tuluca and
San Filipe. The latter place is where the
Liberals are represented as having lost 200
men.
The Liberals are also reported as having
been repulsed in the attack on Salacingo.
All of these are reported on authority of
the Imperialists, but other accounts repre-
sented to be later say that the city of Mich

The EmbrOgIiO in Maine.

TFrom the Hartford COurant, Nov. 13.l
We heard, through semi-oficial source,
last evening that trouble was brewing on
the Canada border, arising from the de-
sertion of British soldiers. Our inform
ant stated that lieutenant in Her Maj
esty's army crossed with a company. of
marines from Canada into Maine for the
purpose of arresting several deserters.
Upon their arrival on neutral soil, the
marines would not acknowledge the au-
thority of the commanding officer, declar-
ing themselves free, and refusing to return
with him. Application was made to the
United States authorities to have the men
given I'D, which was refused, and, it was
Stated, that there was danger of an out
break. The authorities at Washington
were advised, and Hancock's corps was
ordered to rendezvous in Maine. This is
substantially the statement made to us.
That there is q movement Of troops Is GER

General OuItems,

The Kent Well, on Tarr Run, near
Bennehof, has begun to spout OIL She
will probable be a fifty barrel well.
1t is reported that a vnin of green oil
was struck IN Well No. 29, Blackmer
farm, on Wednesday last and that quite
an excitement now prevails among stock
holders in regard to it. The well has not
vet been tubed or pumped but the indi-
cations are the best yet found at Pithole.
One week ago tubing was inserted in
the Coyle Well, on the Siverly farm, on
the Allegheny, and on starting the pump
oil was obtained, and the well has since
produced at the rate of fifty barrels per
day. The oil is of good quality, and the
well promises to yield permanently. The
well is five hundred and thirty feet deep,
and is known as the Coyle well, on the
Highland and Dawson Lease, and is loca-
ted on the Allegheny river, about one and
fourth miles above.
On Sugar Creek, oil operations are going
forward with renewed energy. Recent
strikes have added to the long prevailing
belief that that region is to become very
productive. The Booth well, on the lake
branch, has been yielding from ten to ff-
teen barrels for some time past. The Hope
well, on the east branch, is also promising
and bids fair for an eight barrel institu-
ton. The Tenny well, on the South farm,
below Cooperstown, is yielding about a
barrel day The latter well had been
abandoned, but was bought by an expert
enced operator, who has succeeded in MAX
ing it produce as stated. Operators on the
Maple Grove property are still progress
ing, and we learn that oil has been OBJ
tained in the new well now being bored.
The great want in Sugar Creek region is
practical operators.
Cheshire, the man who shot robber in
oil regions few weeks ago, seems to be
particularly unlucky, he being assaulted
on Saturday evening at late hour. Our
reports are that he was badly bruised,
minus his watch and chain, and about $3.50
in money. We give this as we get it, and
without comment.

original and piquant that for once we

PffhOIe Items,

| Well No. 76, Holden Farm, which COM
menced pumping on the Sd, was flowing
on the 9th inst. at the rate of 300 barrels
per day.
A good quantity of lubricating oil
having been discovered on the Paxton
Fssr-,r, Sr-o-S-DiIhaloz Crack, tarritnry-
thereabouts Is Increasing in value, and
bright days in the future is predicted for
landholders. This territory has not been
very highly appreciated of late, but this
late discovery will tend to improve it in
the good opinion of oil operators. The
east branch of Cherry Run is also looking
up, the Green well, the first struck there
on, having increased its yield to forty
barrels per day. The Green well
was struck few weeks since at depth of
seven hundred and seventy-four feet, and
is situated about fifty rods from the Ben
ton well, the Plumer and Titusville road
being the dividing line between the two
farms. Ten Mile Creek, in Greene county,
is also putting forth strong claims as an
oil producing territory. On Thursday of
last week, the Rogersville well, near the
town of Rogersvills, on Ten Mile, struck |
oil at depth of four hundred and twenty |
five feet and at last accounts was flowing. |
Ten Mile promises to equal if not surpass
Dunkard Creek.
The product of the wells on Pithole |
creek, it seems, has been overestimated. |
At last accounts, the thirty producing
wells on the creek were yielding only
about nine thousand barrels, which is more
than one-third less than previously stated.
The amount of oil on hand at the different
wells is not large-probably thirty-fve
barrels. The roads at present
are in a very bad condition, and teaming
is not profitable. The last new well, No.
l49 Holmden farm, is increasing its flow,
and when the sucker rods are removed it is
to prove six hundred barrel
well. The Hardness oil we'll is also con-
stantly increasing, and is now yielding
two hundred and fifty barrels per day.
Three wells are going down on the
Farm, two and half miles
below Nelltown, on main Pithole. The
Kepler well is down 500 feet with a good
show. A second one is down $50 feet,
and another has Just been commenced.
They are being operated by j. B. Bradley,
Of Titusville. The farm consists of seven
,y-fve acres in fee simple. For the infor-
nation of those interested in the territory,
t may be said that the operators and
hose acquainted with it consider it good,
he indications being favorable in all
respects.
