OIL HE Ms.

Tho Coquette we'll has aga!n and floallY
stopped Its yield, caueed by the Olive Branch
well having pulled her chambers. The agent
of The company owning the Coquette says
they will drill new well.
The intelligence from Dunkard Creek,
Greene county, ia Of q highly encouraging
character. Yesterday the steanets on the
Monor gahela brought down three hundred
spd stTenty-seven barrels OF oil from the new
Clyde we'll, and the Staton and Dunkard
wells. This oil Is held at higher figures than
Venargo oil, aud meets With ready sale.
The Marietta Rtgia<r, Of the Sd inst,
gives reports from twenty eight Oh Eells In
that section Of Ohio, md in West Virginia,
averaging a little less than tTo hundred feet
In depth. Twenty Of the wells have some
show of oil, ten have a good show, and two
have produced oil, and would be worked
now, but are prevented by gas, which inter.
ftres with the pumps. The "Beebs Vel, u
In Decatur township, Washington county,
hes yielded ten barrels Of oil daily for SIX
days.
Al The United States Well oa Pit Hole
there is ut this moment Il, 200 barrels Of oil
in tanks, within space Of four rods Wide
and twenty rods long, which IL liable TO be
destroyed By fire in half an hour; and this
Is the only great danger, and It is very great:
Those interested In these wells who have
seen the burning Of well No. 10 say, Make
reads and get this oil away"

4 few days since we inHt&nced the narrow
escape Of IN innocent man from being mur.
dered BY lynching mob in opn day, In The
streets OF Chicago under prttense that he
had committed crime which as afterwards
appearsd had been committed by one Of the
ringleadczs Of the mob of lynchers. We then
commented On the recent brutal execution OF
two colored Men ut Evansville, Indiana, by
a mob, for the alleged rape aud murder Of 3
German woman, who It was stated was found
dead IN the woods "after the negroes had
ded." We took occas.on then 70 say that
II should be found that one or both these
sufferers WIS wholly innocent Of the crime.
the case would only be parallel to scores that
might be found we'll attested In any work on
catcumstantial evidence. We now lcarnf1om
our Indianapolis correspondent that one OF
thske oegroesis p,oSen to haye been wholly
innocent of the crime. We are not informed
Of tho details OF the proof Of innocence, as
communication With Evansville seems to be
somewhat more difficult and lcas frequent
than with Liverpool or Pa1is, where had such
an event occurred, It wonld have been b1a-
zcusd ere this throughout the civilized
world. One Of our exchanges briefly informs
"a that one Of the two ue{.1oes executed at
Evanaylle, has been exonefated from all par-
tic}petlon IN the crime by tie ,oamon
Ae1s!f" Thus It appeaza the woman was
never nurderedl
Possibly We may yet find that the oply
crime committed, was the wanton and fleud.
