, PHENOMENON IN OIL REGIONS.

The Titusyille Courier recently
published the following interesting
particulars Of the Newton we'll on the
Nelson Farm, SIX miles north ofthat
city:
1T has been down about twenty
days-has continuously poured forth
such volume of gas tha 1t was
found impossible to pump it. as the
valves would not work. The tuding
was pulled Wednesday and the well
was cased in order to let the gas
blow off, so that it might be pumped:
After the casing was put IN, the sand
pump was lowered for the purpose
Of aeitatiug the well, and the gas
raised column Of water, throwlnSa a
solid stream into the air a hundred
feet The noise was terrific, and
could be heard for distance OF more
than two miles. The noise was some
thing like the loud roar OF thunder,
and when the column burst at the
top it threw the water each way for
fifteen rods from the we'll. The
water was exhausted in about twenty
i've minutes and then column of
gas followed, rising with tremendous
force fiftv feet above the derrick,
The outpouring Of the gas makes a
roaring noise that can be distinctly
heard for two miles from the we'll.
The noise around soun IS like the
rushing of the whirlwlnd. L he
column can he seen mile from the
we'll. No tools can be put into the
well. As soon as the attempt is made,
with such force does the gas come
out that the tools are carried into the
air. From description of eye-wit
nesses this is probably the greatest
gas we'll ever struck in the oil region.
Up to last evening the. gas
showed no signs OF being exhausted.
The people in the vicinity were very
much alarmed. and the cattle run
about the fields perfectly wild with
fright. .+

Watch:dogs are excellent creatures to
turn loose in store to keep burglars
away, but you should know your dog
and your dog should know you. Other
wise there may be misunderstanding.
A man in Darby. Pa, short time ago,
bought resolute bull dog and shut him
in his store and went home .sto sleep
and happy Dreams" feeling secure that
no thieves would break through and
steal in that establishment. Next morn
ing he rashly undertook to enter his own
store and was caught by the leg by the
vigilant Watchdog. After struggle he
escaped from the store and was forced to
Suspend business for week, which
period he spent in firing with shotgun
through the windows. down the ohimneY
and up through the floor, in the hope Of
exterminating the vigilant brute. FL
naliy he had to pay the former owner of
the beast liberal price to come and
take him away, in order that he might
proceed with his business. and then he
found that his own bombardment of the
premises had riddled the molasses
barrels, oil casks, etc., and smashed the
orockery in most expensive manner
The man don't believe in watch dogs eny
more.

EDGAR A. PoE's, DEATH. true
story OF Poe's death; has never been cor.
rectly told. It is this: In the summer OF
l849, he left New York for Virginia. In
Richmond, he met Miss Elmira Shelton.
whom he had known in his youth, re.
newed the acquaintance, and in few
weeks they were engaged to bs married.
He wrote to his friends in the North
that he should pass the remainder of his
life in Virginia, where the happiest days
OF his youth had been spent. Early in
October he set out from Richmond to
fulfill literary engagement in New
York, and to prepare for his marriage.
which was to take place on the 17th OF
the month. Arriving in Baltimore. he
found that no had missed the Philadel-
phia train. which he expected to take,
and would have to wait two or three
hours for the next train. he went into
restaurant, near the depot, to get some
refreshments. There he met some of his
old West Point friends, who invited him
to champagne supper that night. At
first he refused to drink, but at last he
was induced to take glass OF cham
pagne. That set him off, and in few
hours he was madly drunk. In this
state he wandered off from his friends,
was robbed and beaten by ruffians, and
left insensible in the street all night.
The next morning he was picked up and
taken to the Maryland Hospital. He
was delirious with brain fever. He was
well cared for by the physicians of the
hospital, but he was beyond the skill of
the doctors. He fingered two or three
days and died on Sunday, October 7,
1649, in the thirty-eighth year of his age.
