THURSDAY, JUNE 18TH, 1870.
From the Warren Ledger.
Warren Oil District,

THE BEt,t WELL TO t3E A atsHER.
The Bell well is down something
over 800 feet. This is what is termed
wet hole. At this writing arrange
ments are being made to put in smaller
casing, cut off the water and drill a
dry hole the balance of the way. The
report is that oil has been reached,
but 1t Is erroneous. The well has con-
siderable gas. Before going to press
there may be further developments,
but on Tuesday the above was a cor
rect statement, which is liable to be
varied at any time after the water is
pumped out and going down q few
feet deeper. The general impression
is that it will be a good well, and sew
eral new enterprises are hanging upon
its result.
A few rods west of the Bell, lisa new
rig going up by Mr.. Loan, of Butler
County.
Geo. Leonhart is making arrange
ments to put down a we'll about forty
rods south and east Of the old Beatty
well.
Mr.. Beatty has two rigs up opposite
the Roy wells, one being drilled and
the other getting ready He has ground
marked off for two other wells-all
contiguous to the Roy wells, only
across the road.
Mr.. Roy is starting another well on
the Sutter farm. The Nesmith is
being drilled.
The old Bell well, owned by Mr..
Roy has just been torpedoed, since
| which 1t has not had fair test, owing
to caving in. The slight test already
given indicates its production has
been increased from three to q four
barrel well. The old Verbeck has been
torpedoed, and its yield has been in
creased about one barrel per day.
The Verbeck, No. 2, is flowing as
usual, as is the Roy. with an increase
of production, especially as regards the
Roy.
The Struthers, up Follet run, has
been idle for some days owing to the
driller taking out the tools to go into
the NeSmith well. They are being
replaced by the company. Conse-
quently our report is not materially
changed from those previous.
s.. We learn that the Bell well
gives every indication of being the
largest one in the district, 50 far. Oil
was struck Monday night, when op.
erations were suspended to provide a
tank, and smaller casing. We shall
60 to press before any test has been
made, but there is every reason for
believing that this will surprise those
who have had doubts about large wells
being developed in this district.

rife thunder storm last Friday even
ing. The Mulberry NJ. E. Church was
struck by lightning and the 2OS-foot
steeple shattered into flinders and the
building otherwise greatly damaged.
Some of the streets were flooded to the
depth of two feet. Many buildings
were injured and large number of
old and venerable shade trees were up
rooted, to the great dsmay of the
owners. Hundreds of flags, which had
been floating in the breeze, are now
buried in the mud, to the great dis
respect of the Centennialists who in

of national pride.

A MAN named Hollingshead was ar
rested in Tyrone, on Wednesday of last
week, charged with having murdered
man at Napoleon, Henry county,
Ohio, some two years ago. For the
past eighteen months, Hollingshead
has been in the neighborhood of Houtz-
dale, this county, and in consequence
of some difficulty with another man
there, to whom it is said he acknowl-
edged his crime, information was
lodged before Justice who commu-
nicated with the authorities at Ma
poleon, by whom he has been finally
traced up and secured. He went to
Tyrone about two weeks previous to
his arrest, and was in the employ of a
butcher at that place, to whom he
gave his name as Charles Osgood.

PiohpOchets.
Two of the Harlan 4 Hollingsworth Com
pany's employees left this city on Wednes-
day morning for the purpose of witnessing
the opening ceremonies at the Centennial
Fair, and while there on the ground about
two O'Clock, Chief Lillcy of the Police force
laid his haud on W. Z. Lindsay's shoulder
and informed him that he would take him
into custody at the same time anotner
officer served his companion Joseph W.
Coley, in the same manner. Upon Lind.
say asking why they were arrested, the
officer replied as pickpockets. With con-
siderable explanation Colcy was allowed to
depart, and on Lindsay stating that he was
no pjckpocket but was an employed at tho
establishment Of the Harlan & Hollings-
worth Company of Wilmington for some
time, the officer answered that is very
good yarn but it is too thin, and guess VIC
will take care of you, at the same time led
him off to the lock up. Coley came hopae
and informed Capt. Kelley OF the occnr-
renee who At once telegraphed to the au-
thoIities, proving Lindsay's identity and
asking his release.
Captain Kelley and the father of Lindsay
left the city on an early train yesterday
morning, for the purpose Of having the
prisoner released. Upon their arrival at
Philadelphia, they called upon John
O'Byrne, Esq, who went with them to see
his Honor, Mayor Stokley, to whom they
briefly stated the circumstances OF the case:
Mr.. Stokley was highly indignant, asd at
once sent . despatch to the Centennial
Grounds, commanding the immediate re-
lease Of Lindsay. Mayor Stokley aud his
police had nothing to do with the arrest,
and are not responsible for the act, as they
had nothing whatever to do with 1t.
Neither of the young men in question
looked at all like pickpockets, and 1t seems
strange that they should be arrested even
on suspicion of such charge. They are
both respectable and well connected In the
city, and occupy positions Of trust and
honor.

A correspondent writing to the HERALD
last evening from Philadelphia says:
On visiting the State Building, which 10
being erected on almost the extreme west
erly end of the avenue where most OF the
State headquarters are situated, We were
surprised to see the building so er advan-
ced towards completion. The contractor
informed us that the carpenter work
would be finished tomorrow, and the paint
ing would be begun at once. 1t may A.
ready be seen that though little Delaware
was one of the last to determine upon tine
erection of building at all, it will be by
no means last in the appearance ofits head
quarters when finished. =,
Several Delawareans haihng from all
parts OF the state, visited the building au.
ring the early part of to-day, and we're all
highly gratided.
Judging from the hasty view of the Della
warean display in the Machinery Hal, we
should say that it is far In advance OF many
larger and more pOpulOus States. We no
