The Discovery and Use OF Petroleum..

A correspondent of the Cleveland Herald,
writing from Titusville gives the following
reference to the first discovery and use Of
petroleum: Gas the question Of priority
concerning the first noticeble development
of petroleum has been much discussed, 1t is
proper to say that the coveted honor is due
TO Samuel NJ. Kier of Pittsburgh, who, in
ls49, discovered oil comiu; up from his
salt wells at Tarentum, on the Allegheny
river. After ascertaining the value Of the
oil for Illuminating purposes, and devising
o process. Mr.. Kisr turned his discovery to
practical account, by thus using all tno oil
he could obtain from his own and other salt
works for five years, from 1850 to 1866
Before commencing operation on Oil Creek,
Col. Drake went to Mr.. Kiers wells on the
Allegheny, examined them, and hired a
blacksmith who was then working for Mr..
Kier to 60 and bore for him on the Kings
land farm. Col. Drake struck oil, at
about seventy feet, as before stated, from
which dated the great 'oil excitement Of the
period. Mr.. Kicr bought the first oil that
came from the Drake well, and refined it at
his refinery. From these facts it would ap.
pear that to Pittsburgher is due the his
torieal distinction of having first produced
petroleum frem boringa, and having refined,
and used reRned petroleum IS on illumina-
tor. for from four to five years before the
first well was struck on Oil Creek

California Women.

California has some queer feminines. -
Here is one that figures in recent number
Of the San Francisco Bulletin. This morn
ing boy, only nine years cid, was brought
before Judge provinces for examination for
the Industrial School. He was accused Of
stealing ten dollars from lady to whom bis
mother had sent him on come errand. He
plead guilty. The Judge seemed at first in-
clined to let the mother take him bome.-he
was such . young and delicate looking boy.
She would not promise positively to guard
the little fellow, and the Court was obliged
to order him to tho Industrial School. When
he heard his doom pronounced, the father
less boy wept bitterly. and looked fret at
the Court and then at bis mother; but she,
without manifesting any pity or sympathy
for him, put her face down close TO his and
