A Wonderful Oil Well.

THE Titusvile Pr) Herald thus de-
scribes Il wonderful oil well that has
just been opened:
The road leading to the Parker well
from PetrOlia is in moderately good con
dition, and soon after leaving Central
Point the traveller observes the words
No smoking permitted here, in conspicu-
Gus places. After about two and IL half
miles ride the top of hill is reached,
where loud, roaring noise is distinctly
heard, and eighty rods further on brings
US in sight of the well. \ dense fog or
mist envelopes the derrick, engine house
and tanks, while fully one thousand per
sons are there gazing on the wonder of
Armstrong County. The derrick has
conspicuously placed upon it in large let
tiers, Boss Well and 'Creswell City
There are two 50-barrel tanks, full of
oil; also two ,200bar tanks, one of
which is full Three dams, one below
the other, catch the dripping; and the
| rivulet beyond, we are told, for ten miles
of a circuitous route to the Allegheny
River, is covered with oil. There are
two two-inch pipes connected with the
well, one of which is shut completely off,
and out of the other flows "A steady
stream of oil with immense force. There
Is no perceptible intermission in the
80, Irrt as IL CUISINES into one of the
,2Oo- barrel tanks the foam and spray
envelop the whole surrounding atmos-
phere in ii dense mist
" a trustworthy gauger informed us that
he had gagged the well three times since
the stream was turned into the 1000 bar
rel tank, and he found it doing $50 bar
rels, and he estimated the leakage to be
at least fifty barrels per day. He further
stated that, in his opinion, the well
started off out of the two two-inch pipe
at the rate of $500 barrels per day lie
also claimed that, although this was
full stream was turned on now il would
do at least ,, 900 barrels.
The well is claimed to he the largest
ever struck in the lower region \
farmer walked up to Us and offered to
sell his adjoining farm of 100 acres for
100000, which ten days ago, for farming
purposes, would not have brought : 900
The surveyors are at work laying out

The Parker well stands pa miles due
east OF the most eastern well on the
fourth sand development, and about y
miles east of Pctrolia The number of
wells drilling on the belt east or the
most casterly well on the NcGarvev
farm, are six, namely: Two on the Snow
farm, one on the Steel farm, the Gush-
ford we'll 900 feet deep, the Crawford
well, 300 feet deep, and the Prentice

ply of fruit is altogether inadequate to
meet the demand.
The result is that there has been gen
eral resort on the part of jelly manu-
facturers to processes of adultcration.
In this case; unfortunately, the articles
used are not always harmless. They are
often very deleterious, always most of
fcnsive. In jellies, calves feet glue is
the principal thing used, which, sweet
ened with sugar and colored by aniline
dyes, is passed off upon the innocent pub
tic as being the very fruit itself. Of
course the very general adultcratiott
enables the manufacturer to sell Il tum-
bier of currant jelly to the purchaser at
far less than would have to be paid if
nothing but the Simon pure" article was
used But the advantage thus obtained
by the consumer of a cheap article is one
not worth possessing. 1t would be far
better to pay the price necessary to Sc
cure the pure currant jelly than to be de
frauded by paying less sum for foul
compound, consisting principally of glue,
with some dangerous chemical prepare
ton thrown in to give the glue the neces-
sary color But '' the race of fools is i'm
mortal; :" and the genealogy of knaves
stretches back to the food, and will con
tinue unto the coming of the millennium,
The value of currant and other fruit
iellies consists principally in the citric,
melic and tartaric acids that they con
tain. The artificial jellics are altogether
innocent of any of these acids. They are
simply glue.-Chicog0 Times

A WRITER in Ldad and Water gives
some curious instances of the scnsibility
of ducks to colors and musical sounds
He once had in his garden border of
China asters of the most brilliant colors.
The ducks would congregate round these
and lie there for hours. They never
pecked at them, as they found snails or
slugs among them. They appeared sim
ply gazing at them, as if attracted by
the gay colors. Another time he had Il
large clump of very brilliant violet
flowers, which by their brightness shone
out from the rest of the border This
clump was like magnet to the ducks
some of them were always around it.
One evening the writer had IA party of
friends. 1t was summer time, and the
doors of the sitting room were open to
the lawn. One of the company
commenced playing on the piano.
No sooner was there Il pause in the
music than two ducks, which had by
some means got into the room, rose from
under chair and waddled all over the
apartment, quacking loudly. On the
music commencing the ducks crouched
down, perfectly silent while it con
tinued. The experiment was made sew
i, ral time, with the same result. That il
was not surprise or fear which induced
this behavior was afterward proved, for
on subsequent occasions the same ducks
would, upon hearing the piano, leave the
field and come into the room to listen.

EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common that
express his honest opinion of the merits
of any article without being suspected OF
interested motives. This fact, however
shall not deter us from saying what we
think of a new addition to the Materia
Mcdica to which our attention has been
recently directed. We refer to DIR. j
WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs
a remedy which is making its way into
more families just now than all the other
advertised medicines put together Its
popularity, as far as we can judge, is moi
based on empty pretension. There seems
to be no question about the potency OF
its tonic and Alternative properties, while
it possesses the great negative recon-
mendation of containing neither alcohol
nor mineral poison. That it is a specific
for Indigestion, Biliousness, Constipa
ton and many complaints of nervous
origin we have reason to know; and We
are assured on good authority that as &
general invigOrant, regulating and puri
fying medicine it has no equal. It is
stated that its ingredients obtained
from the wilds of California; are new tC
the medical world and its extraordinary
effects certainly warrant the conclusion
that it is compound of agents hitherto
unknown. If popularity is any criterion
| there can be no doubt of the efficiency OF
the VINEGAR BiTTERs, for the sale of tho
article is immense and continually in
crcasing.

As he came I'M with the crowd JOpr1eS'

As he came up with the crowd Joggles'
remarks were brief and tersc. AS all
knew his feelings, NO one said word
Rounding the bend, after crossing the
river, they came in full view of the
gulch. There, upon the rocky brink,
stood the jack. With outstretched neck
he was gazing intcntly into the chasm
below; His ears were Topped forward, as
though to shade his eyes and give him
clearer view of what lay at the bottom
of the gulch. The sound of approaching
footsteps at length attracted his atten-
ton. Turning his head and seeing the
party drawing near, he moved back from
the brink of the precipice, gave his tail a
flourish, and uttered Il series of triumphal
- Gce-haws,"
Looking down into the chasm the men
beheld lying at the bottom-motionless
in death-Old Pizen, the fighting horse of
Stanislaus. His head was doubled under
him-his neck was broken.
When he came up out of the gulch,
after having ascertained this fact, jog
giles was deadly pale. Drawing and cock
ing his siX-shooter, he advanced toward
the party and saidi John =. Jones, you
knowed what that critter was. Don't
speak, Let no man here speak word"
With this he turned suddenly to where
the jack stood with his head down, mop
ing sleepily, and sent bullet through his
brain. The beast fell without moan,
when Joggles advanced and deliberately
emptied the contents of his revolver into
its carcass. He then seized it by the
ears, dragged it to the brink of the preci-
picc, and tumbled it down upon the body
of the old broncho, saying:
CAS- you are the Only thing that ever
whipped him, you shall lie and rot with

WOman's Work in the Domestic
Sphere.

IT remains to add that DR.. Priestley
was eminently fortunate in his domestic
relations. His wife possessed rare
qualifications as a helpmeet to her hus-
band, and had large share in the sue
cess of his career; for, although, as far
as we can learn, she did not participate
in his special studies, yet it appears that,
but for her, he never could have carried
through his numerous and formidable
undertakings. His testimony to this is
explicit. He says: My wife was u
woman of excellent understanding, much
improved by reading, of great fortitude
and strength of mind, of a temper In the
highest degree affectiOnate and generous,
feeling strongly for others and little for
herself. Also, greatly eXcelling in ev-
erything relating to household affairs,
she entirely relieved me of all concern of
that kind, which allowed me to give all
my time to the prosecution of my stud
les and the other duties of my station"
His son states that his father used to say
that he was merely Il ledger, and had all
his time to devote to his own pursuits.
All honor, then, to the wife to whose
womanly devotion the world is indebted
for whatever is great and good in the
achievements of the husband. We have
lately heard much of a great man who
attributes all his profoundest thoughts to
IA scribe and editor; but we here see how
IA great man may owe his intellectual en-
inence to his wife, even though she be
not so gifted as to be able to furnish all
his best ideas. OF the two methods this is
certainly the most encouraging for
woman, as it assigns the highest office to
her acknowledged capacities, and pre-
cludes all question of rivalry. The
united pair work in separate spheres and
different ways to the same end; and the
wife's affections become as Indispensable
to the result as the husbands intellect.
Had Mrs. Priestley been animated by
modern views, and essayed to carve out
her own separate fortune in the field of
science or theology, it is eminently prob
able that she would have failed to do
any great thing herself and quite certain
that she would have etfectually defeated
her husband. This must have been the
result, if what DR.. Priestley says is true,
sympathetic support in his trials and
sutferings were among the indispensable
conditions of his own success. And thus,
in the seclusion of her own family, alb
sorbed in social cares, forgetting herself
in instructive solicitude for others, and
probably with no ambition beyond, this
true woman and model wife was really
Joint partner with her illustrious husband
in the good he accomplished, if not in the
fame he won. And who shall say that
hers was not, after all, the nobler and
happier share of the work ?-E. l.. Iost-

Very Peculiar Jellies.

JELIIES, generally, are frauds. They
may be described, indeed as base double
frauds. They are not what they seem,
either in size of tumbler or in quality of
article. They look beautiful and tempt
making ones mouth water as speedily as
anything. Every lady visitor to IA res
taurant looks with envy at the clear,
bright color of the jellies that occupy the
post of honor on the top of the pickle
bottles in the windows of the establish
mcnt. If she he Il visitor from the country
She generally insists that her husband
shall carry home "A sample, to be tested
on the first opportunity. Woman like
she learns" with Goldsmith's heroine
" too late that men bctray." Her bcauti-
full currant jelly is villainous mixture
1t has no more relationship to the cur
rant Jelly which she has stored in her
cupboard than butyric acid has with
truth. In fact, ii has no connection, not
even of the most distant kind, with cur
