PetroIeum-Largs purchase on PnhoIe.

N The oil sensation of the day is the
purchase of the Pithole property by
Chicago parties. The transaction was
made by Messrs Wright & Chittenden.
The purchase is understood to be for
81, 500. 900 for which substantial sum
Messrs. Prathec & Duncan have parted
with their land interest at Pithole, and
it is nowothe property of the above
named gentlemen. 1t includes the land
interest in the great flowing wells whose
net income to Messrs. Wright Il Chit
tenden is $4,000 or $1,000 per day.
These wells include the United States
well aud its greater and less neighbors,
and the whole site of Pithole City, with
leases to the amount of $1,000 annual
rental, together with the depot grounds.
One hundred and thirty wells are going
down on the property, of which the
present ownersof the farm hold the one
quarter interest. Oil at Pithole is sell
ing at 81 per barrel, and it costs 81
to haul it to the river or railroad. -
Within a month the railroads will be
finished to Pithole city, and the cost of
forwarding the oil win fall to fifty cents
per barrel, adding handsomely to the
income of these wells. 1t is only neces-
sary to add, as q matter of history, that
other Chicago parties have been Ia
treaty Tor this great oil farm, and claim
that their action lies in damages against
the former owners for breach of con-
tract. We give the. whole facts as re-.
ceived here, and the current topic of
discussion among the men.

& A letter from Algeria saws almost
all the summer we haye been congratu-
lating ourselves on the GOODNESS, of the
season, and when letters from France
complained of the heat, we recommends
ed onr friends to come to Algeria for
fresh air. But we, reckoned without
our host-the sirocco and now that
has come with a vengeance. Lit
was prefaced by tremendous thunder
storm, which broke the windows, and
reused the population from their beds.
An hour later all was calm I; but the old
colonists knew what was coming, and
sure enough the next day the sky as
sumed that peculiar violet color which
so astonishes artists when they venture
to pass summer on the other side of
Mount Atlas. A few burning guests of
air, feeling and smelling like that issu-
ing from an oven when the baker opens
it to take out the bread, served as an
advanced guard of the enemy. The
temperature rose rapidly, On Friday,
the thermometer at Duchassaing's Club,
with a northern exposure, marked forty
five centigrade in the shade. At Ell
Biar, at the same time, another Their
mometer, also in the shade, but expos
ed to the full blast of the asirocco, went
up to 81 IL. !, The most robust man
could not have crossed the sunny side
of the Government place without dam
ger. The ground burned the feet;
through the shoe-leather the hand
that touched any object whatever-a
cane or coat sleeve-smarted with
pain the nostrils contracted, and the
eyes closed under the influence of the
torrid breathe the simeon. In many
houses, furniture fell to pieces, tapes
try dropped suddenly from the bursting
walls, and ceilings crumbled to pieces
and descended upon the heads of the
inmates like flakes of burning snow
Never, within the memory of man, had
such things been seen in Algiers -
At night a frightful spectacle was seen.
From Guyotville to Cape Nation,
along an extent of twelve leagues of
coast lurid glow suddenly appeared,
became rapidly more and more intense,
and It soon became apparent that the
whole country was on fire. Entire
mountains burst forth in flame like a
volcano, and burning forests lit up the
waters of the harbor, and made the stars
look pale, 1t was sublime horror.
There are rumors of loss OF life, and the
damage done to property is necessarily
enormous. Many farms, barns, and
stacks have been entirely destroyed.

A singular suic,de.

The Syracuse Journal tells the follow
ing: e.er&+ t.
A Polander, named T. Klapetzy, re-
siding at the corner of Hawley and Lo-
di streets, who had been in this country
but few weeks, has a wife and two
children. Mr.. X works in the Fourth
ward at shoemaking, and necessarily
leaves his wife home during the day.
Mrs. X. about two weeks since, re-
marked stranger watching her from
various points in the vicinity OF her res
idence, for several days.
One day last week, this stranger, who
is German, came to her house and be-
gan talking in German Co Mrs. K, who
obtained an interpreter, who told Mrs.
X. that the man wanted to marry her,
as he loved her, and had noticed that
she appeared to be alone in the world.
Mrs X. informed him she had hIls-
band, and desired him to leave her
house. On Monday he came to her
house again, this time bringing another
German as an interpreter, making the
same proposals, which we've again Ie-
fused, and the two men went away.
On Monday evening he sent letter
to Mrs. K, together with two rings and
pin, which he stated In the letter cost
him $50; one of the rings, diamond,
costing him 800. He also stated in the
letter, that if Mrs. X. would marry him
he would take better care of her than
her husband, as he was rich, and had
just purchased farm for s., 500, and
that if she did not, both should die.
Mrs. sent back the letter and the jew
elry, and note stating that she was
fully satisfied with her condition.
On Tuesday morning the German
called again with his carriage, and told
her he had come to take her home with
him; but Mrs. X told him to go away
as she wanted nothing to do with him.
The stranger left, and on Tuesday
evening he called again, and Mrs. X.
noticed that he had pistol in his hand.
He left however, in few minutes, after
Mrs. X. told him she would not have
him around, and threatened to call for
help.
On yesterday morning two Germans
came to Mrs. K IS house with wagon,
in which was coffin, which they said
was for the stranger, and Mrs. X let
ter, which was signed '.Julius Lum-
! brech, telling her that he would not
| live without her, and should shoot him
self. The men informed Mrs. X. that
Lumbrech had come on Wednesday
night, and had written the letter, and
at IL O'Clock had gone out on the piazza
of his house (some four miles out In the
country and had shot himself through
| the neck, from the effects of which he
died In a short time.
