The excitement at Pithole seems 10 be una-
batcd according to the local papers and
private letters from that regaon. The nar-
rel Of oil existing in sucL quantities, and
possessing such impatience to be sent to
market, that it comes 10 the surface with
out waiting for well boring and tpblng,
SILL continues according to the Recoyd Of
the 18th, Which says:
1.-THE excitement abort the oil wells still
continues undated, und We notice large
numbers Of strangers tn town to see thss
great natural curiosity Of the nineteenth
century. Real estate Is rapidly advancing.
and holders Of lenses arc very jubilaut.
Every one appears 10 be afflicted with a mania
for digging, and the most singular part Is
that all should 60 suddenly desire to dig a
water we'll On vacant lots, With 50 much Eisor
is this search prosecuted that We observed one
man digging In the cellar under bis store, by
tho light OF o lantern, at twelve o'clock last
night. Mrs. Ricketts, well pumped barrel
Of oil in four minutes yesterday, but the pump
Is not kept going properly and no definite es~
innate of its capacity can be made. Ycstcr-
day . man dug nssman hole in the ground,
about ons foot deep, and had gathered barrel
Of oil when We saw him In the afternoon. A
large number arr beginning to follow his e1-
ample.
New wells have been struck lately, ono after
another. with rapfditF unknown before,
even here. There has averaged new and
paying well struck every other dag since the
AEst OF january.
