CURIOUS PHENONENA IN THE PENNsYLyA-
MA OIL REGIoNs.-The Erie Democrat saws:
Much excitement rs prevailing Westield.
owing To some singular phen pmena which
have been apparent for a week past Ia many
OF the houses situated on The west side of the
creek All almost constant jar and rafting Of
COOTs and windows ls manifested. and The en-
tire buildings tremble. This remarkable f.a-
lure has exhibited itself foI about a week At
first II was supposed that ~ might BE- the re-
suit OF passing trains, and no notice was taken
90 ~; but the same tremble - manifest whes
trains are not passing. There is no apparent
cause for It, aid it has been the OCCASION Of
much speculation.
Our reporter has visited the locality, and sew
eral OF the houses, and talked with the resi-
dtnis. The excitement IL on the INCREASE, ow-
ing 10 the mystery of the NANTES tauons The
trembling lie not violent but at times is greater
Than at others, ana occasionally disappears
entirely. Cloths hanging o 4 line 10 the house
are, during the manifestations, in a Constant
uemor. and even shake when there h no an
Parent sha Ike in the house. The Jar as so great
AT times as to make dishes rattle in the Gun
hoaYd.
Petroleum oil exuded from the ground in
the neighborbood some time ago, but attracted
little attention NJ the time. The ground lu the
vicinity rests upon . shole that Is not far from
abe surface, and has been rendered somewhat
uneven by abrasion. The supersiitious have
all sorts OF oonlectures and seem TO be struck
with awe and wonder.
