A GAsY PLACE.-The Venango
Spectator gives US the following de-
scription of Gas City: OF the many
wonderful places in the oil region,
Gas City, in Cranberry tp., this coun-
ty, is the most remarkable. It is call
ed Gas City ON account of the large
amount of gas flowing from its wells,
of which there are between thirty and
forty producing. The town has about
forty houses, composed principally of
hardware stores, groceries, restaurants
etc. and these are all heated and light
ed by the gas from one well. Each
well, in addition to having gas enough
to make steam for its engine and to
light the engine house-aud each
engine house for light uses as much
gas as would supply a large hotel
wastes more gas than would light q
town the size of Franklin. At each
well there is a tubing run from the
hole some distance from the rig thro'
which the waste gas is burned at an
elevation of about 20 feet, Under
this light at this time of year there is
q green spot with living era IS, of
about 200 feet in circumference, kept
green constantly by the heat of the
burning gas. The absence of coal
gives the engine house and rigs o
cleanly and attractive appearance.

tainty of mails these times, no telling
when this will reach its destination.
The q. P. & *. P. railways, have
been blockaded a greater portion of
the past month. Truly the Far West
is witnessing a "irery ordeal" this
winter. Storm after storm has visited
us since the 10th day of November,
and now the ground is Thoroughly COW
cred with snow and ice, so that it is
impossible for stock that is out side to
get any thing, except sage brush to
eat, and that, not being distributed
evenly over the the plains, docs not
furnish sustenance for all the stock.
There is not enough hay in the
try to feed one-tenth part of the stock,
if men had the disposition to buy.
"What will become of the stock ?"
is the general subject of conversation
now. None appear to entertain
the slightest hope, hardly, of cat
tie enduring much longer without
feed. Even if the snow should dis
appear soon, many cattle mustdie be-
fore grass starts in the spring. The
winter has not been to say severe, but
the ground has been mantled so COM
pletely, that stock cannot get to the
ground. We would have 6 or s
inches of snow, then, perhaps thaw
enough TO dissolve the snow, then
freezes and snow more, so it has con-
timed to this writing, forming snch
q crust that cattle cannot penetrate.
1t is reported down ABOUT Greeley,
and beyond on the Platte, cattle aud
sheep are now dying off by thous-
ands. This may sound large, but my
fears are that it is too true. Quite a
number of cattle and sheep have died
in this vicinity, and many more must
die soon. a. Il. r.

CRUSHED BY AN ENGINE.
From the Akron Beacon, Jan. g.

This afternoon, about fifteen min
dent occurred near the freight Office of
the A. & G. W. railroad, by which q
lad, aged about twelve years, and a
son of Rev. w. w. Ramsey, of the
Methodist church, lost his life. The
boy, with several others of his own
age, was playing near the track, when
the switch engine commenced back
ing up nea where they stood. As it
passed, and while yet scarcely under
Roadway, the unfortunate boy stepped
upon the rear platform OF the tender.
In doing so he lost his balance and
fell under the wheels. In this fright
full position he was dragged several
yards the two wheels of the tender
passing over his body before the en-
CINE could be stopped. When, final
", he was taken from beneath the
truck, it was found that the ponder
Gus wheels had completely severed
his body in twain at the waist. His
remains were at once gathered up and
conveyed to the Office of Tapin, Rice
& Co., near which the accident occur
red. His death must have been in
Simultaneous. The part of the track
along which the body was dragged
was besmeared its entire length with
blood of the mangled boy. No blame
whatever can attach to the engineer,
Mr.. B. G. Bosworth, as the utmost
care could not have Sverted the sad
causality. From his position on the
engine he could not see the lad when
he jumped upon the platform, and his
first intimation of the accident was
after 1t had occurred.
In this sad afiiction, which has
fallen upon Mr.. Ramsey and his fami-
~ with such s~uddenness, they have
the sympathy of the entire eommuni-
ty. Neighbors and friends can do
little to alleviate the pain of such a
blow, but whatever it is in their pow
er TO do, that they freely do.
