Natures GasOnl etcrs.

Twenty-Five miles south Of Rochester. at
West Bloomfield, Ontario county New York
there is wonderful gas well or fountain, it
is believed, OF being probably used for
Illuminating and heating purposes. The
volume is very great, and the quality of the
gas has been ascertained, by careful expert
ment, to be nucommonly good, the ordinary
impurities of coal gas not appearing in i. to
any damaging extent.
For the last five years this gas well has
been made the study of scientific men, with
view of employing its supply for light and
fuel, and at this moment the citizens of Ro.
chester are discussing the practicabiity Of
lighting that city from this exhaustless
natural reservoir. Professor Lattimer, of
the E'chester University, acting in the in
terest Of company OF capitalists of Rlmira,
has made thorough examination of the
gas, and last week tested its illuminating
po*er by the aid Of the most delicate photo.
metrlcai apparatus, in the presence of a
large number Of stockholders and of prom
inent men of Elmira and r Rochester. The
result was 10 the highest degree satisfac-
tory, and it seems probable that the projec,
oflighting Rochester from this well will be
carried into effect.
The village Of Fredonia, in New York
State, has been lighted from natural sour
ces for. many years, and at Erie, Pa, the
gas from the gas wells is nsed to drive -four
mills, and topump up the water which SUP.
plies that city, thus making the water works
company also gas company.

Buffalo Races-SecOnd Bay.

Over twenty thousand persons were pres
ent at the races yesterday. The weather
was beautiful, and the assomblage the most
orderly and respectable ever seen on the
park. The trots were highly exciting and
satisfactory. David A. Ga e,of Chicago,
assisted as starting judge. The first lace
was for n purse of $4,000 for horses that
have never beaten 2:3O, $4,000 to first
horse; 81, 500 to second: $4,000 to third; !;
81. 500 to fourth, and 1000 to 9th. Eight
horses were trotted, but the first heat was
declared of, on account of an accident to
William Brown, the driver OF Harry Harley
which caused considerable eXcitement.-
Before reaching the quprter post, on the
first. heat, Brown, who had been sick. was
unable to manage his horse and col lided
with Lady Augusta, breaking off wheel
and throwing Brown heavily on his head,
prostrating his nervous system.
Medical aid was Immediately called, and
he soon recovered. Harry Harley trotted
round the track before he was
caught Dan Mace was then placed in
charge OF Harley.
