PARKER OIL FIELD "A we'll owned by
q. Fogel and others, on the Milford farm,
was tubed on Saturday last and commenced
to pump at the rate of so or 55 barrels per
day.
The well owned by Hall and Cady, Of
Titusville, and othess on the Milford farm,
is nearly finished. The oil flows in large
quantities from the hole, and it will no
coubt prove large we'll.
Messrs. Chalfsnt, Graf l. Co., several
months ago purchased lot in the borough
Of ST. Petersburg upon which they erected a
building for supply store. The gentlemen,
after purchasing the lot, concluded there
might be oil under it and set men to work
to drill hole. During last week the drill
ing was completed, the we'll tubsd and the
pump put in motion, when oil poured
forth for some time time at the rate OF about
100 barrels per day. After several days
pumping the production still kept up 10 q
remarkable degree, and il 10 thought the
production will not sink below 40 or SO
barrels per day.
The Chambers well, on the Slicker farm,
has been completed and pumping for some
days, yielded 70 or IS barrels per day
Owners and others entertain the hope that
it will continue to yield 40 or 50 barrels
per day after the accumulated surplus has
been pumped out.-[Oilmau's Journal.

Sill Mfssfnr

q few days ago we made publication o.
the fact that Tennessee Lodge No. I,of this
city, had issued circular addressed to tbs
different Lodges throughout the country
asking the fraternal cooperation of the
members ofthe Brotherhood in tn s attempt
TO ascertain the fate of NJ. G. Foulk, who
left Nashville ON the Both of September last
for Cincinnati. Fl. G. Sheetz, member OF
the above named Lodge, was also appoint
ed committee TO visit Cincinnati, and as
certain if possible some clue to
the mysterious disappearance OF the broth
er named. He speaks in high praise
of the members of the order in Cincinnati
for their untiring exertions in search of
Mr. Foulk. Upon investigation he learned
Mr.. f., was seen in that city on the "a, Sd
and 4th of October by J. Mills, formerly Of
Nashville, and also on the 4th by a. NJ. Per-
inc of this city. He was at the Gibson House
about that time, and is supposed to have
disappeared between the 4th and 7th, aud
strange to say, no intelligence yet of the
manner in which he disappeared. His
friends now fear the worst, and are almost
satisfied that he was murdered.
