Mile Run, commenced testing last
week, and is yielding three barrels per
day, heavy oil. l-f fi.
The excitement along east Sandy is
increasing, and the coming season will
see large developments in that quarter.
The Canning well pumps regularly
some 20 barrels per day. About TWEEN
ty-five other wells are on the way
some of them nearly down.
A new we'll on the Clarion river,
about mile from the mouth, is pump
ing 10 barrels day.
On Sunday evening last, terrible
explosion occurred at the Twilight we'll
on the Hill above Parker's Landing,
owned by Kern & Tillinghast. Charles
Tillinghast and John Trocks we're in
stantly killed, aad w. II. Kern badly
scalded. The explosion was caused
by too high pressure of steam. The
derrick and engine house are total
wreck. Portions Of the boiler were
thrown into the river distance OF
several hundred yards.
Mr. Charles Tillinghast, who was a
large framed, feshy man, was blown
fully two hundred feet down the hill.
When picked up, but two slight marks
were found on his body. His body re-
mained warm for sevaral hours, and
at nine o'clock Sunday night warm
blood exuded from his ears. Some OF
the physicians III attendance contend.
ed that he was merely in state of co.
ma, but few hours dispelled all hope.
On last Wednesday evening, some
workmen at the red tanks above the
mouth of Clarion were moving pole
tools, when the south bound express
train came along at full speed, and
Mr.. James Mahan tried to save line
which was stretched across the track
The man did his utmost, but was not
quick enough; the bumper struck him
on the right side, in front os the hip,
and knocked him on the man-catcher
to which he clung with will and
commendable presence of mind until
the train was stopped. One of his
feet dragged upon the ground aud
struck against the ties, bruising his an.
kle very severely, but fortunately nc
bones were broken.

We take the following from the
Elk Advocate:
On last Saturday, 25th, ult., man,
by the name of Krumme, was found
dead at Lanes Mill (blue rock), this
county. He is supposed to have come
to his death from heart disease, as
tnere was no marhs Oi VIOIence on his
body. He had been engaged, previous
to his death, in skidding logs with a
team of horses. His remains passed
through this place, on Sunday morning,
on their way to Potter county.
Governor Geary has appointed our
popular townsman Hon. Henry South
er, to the position of Additional Law
Judge for Schuylkill county. We are
gratified to note this mark of conf.
dence in Mr.. Souther, and will say
that he will I'll the position with abili-
ty and credit to himself and satisfac-
ton to those interested. He has had
an extensive practice in this and ad-
joining counties for the last twenty
years, and stands deservedlY high in
his profession. We congratulate Judge
Souther on his promotion, and can on
ly regret that his gain is our loss for
in losing him as a citizen, we lose not
only good lawyer, but an enterpris-
ing, public spirited citizen and a pleas,
ant social gentleman.

President Judge.

We clip the following remarks from
the Brookville Republican, and al
though not personally acquainted with
the subject of them, we have heard so
much in his favor that we are prepar-
ed to recommend him to the people Of
our county and Judicial district:
One of the most important and re.
sponsible duties that the citizens of
this judicial district have to perform,
they will be called upon to transact
during the ensuing year. The term of
office of the present President Judge,
Hon. Jas. Campbell, expiring, a sue
cessor will have to be chosen. That
this is one of the most responsible posi-
tions in the gift of our people is recog-
nized, and it is urged upon those who
shall have the duty of selecting candi-
dates for this position to act wisely !;
throw aside any party aspirations that
might arise, if inimical to the general
good, and settle on such a candidate as
shall be free from any and every OBJ
JSSeiuh NuabCNCi. ANOb Oniy InOTOuHn
jurlst is required, but a man of unex.
ceptionble character, with honesty of
purpose, and fair representative of
Bar of the district.
Without a consultation with the
gentleman himself, we would venture
to suggest the name of our townsman,
A. l.. Gordon, Esq, for this position.
He undoubtedly possesses all the re-
quired fitness for the position. His le
gal requirements and experience are
not questioned, while as courteous
gentlemen and obliging attorney he
has not many superiors and but few
equals. We hope that the Republican
Nominating Conventions of the distict
will act wisely and put in nomination
Mr.. Gordon, as with him as our can
didate success is possible and altogeth.
er probable, even with Democratic
Clarion to oppose us. At least, we
know of no one more deserving, or
that will receive more hearty support
of our people.
