he called for his bill, which on being

"Yes."
"Do owe you anything more?"

"Well, am going just where

SITUATED about four miles south
west of CIintonville, Venango County,
is we'll which, for volume OF produc-
ton, surpasses anything yet discov-
cred in that county. The well was
sunk by Messrs. M. Brownson, E. o.
Emerson, Perrin and Benson, and was
completed upward of a month ago
No oil was found, but an immense
gas vein was lcountered at the place
where the oil was expected. Before
abandoning the we'll the owners re-
solved to draw out the casing. This
was attempted in the usual way, but
it must be stated that casing remains
in statu quo, except that it stuck
about foot above its former resting
place. AS it was elevated to its pres
ent position, the fresh water from the
upper portion of the hole rushed into
the we'll at the BOTTOM Of the casing
in great quantity. As it did so, tie
gas took hold of it, and landed it on
the surface of the earth after sending
it forty feet above the top IF the der
rick. There, in that condition, it con-
tinues to gush and blow to this day,
and may for all time 1t is estimate d
that at least 10000 barrels OF water
are thrown out daily. 1t is truly
remarkable phenomenon.- Pittsburg

SENATOR MORTON died at his home in
indianapolis, Indiana, last Thursday
evening at half.past five o'clock. He
had been prominently before the peo-
pie for a great many years, aud had
he lived the chances would have been
very favorable for the nomination for
the Presidency by the Republicans in
1880. He most likely died like Web
ster and many other ambitious states
men, heart-broken, because the flower
Of his ambition, the Presidency, was
not obtained by him.

STRANGE as it may seem, the eman-
cipation Of the Turks in Russia has
increased the number Of wolves III
that country. The serfs used to act
as tn ,ir masters drivers in the great
wolf hunts, which formed national
pastime; but since the liberation the
wolf-hun; has become unpopular, aud
consequently wolves are having bet
ter time it. Thus, NJ. LazarewSki, in
a pamphlet published by the Russian
Ministerial printing Office, estimating
the number Of wolves in European
Russia alone at 100000 and shows
that while the average annual loss OF
human lives in the years lS49-5l was
only 1875, the number of victims III
1875 was no less than l6l. The loss
in domestic ANNA is valued at $l2,-
100000 annually, and that in wild an
imals at about $40, 600 New

POMPEII.-ln the course OF the re,
cent work at Pompeii, at the corner
of the street, common inn has been
excavated. There is the bar, with the
vessels in clay let int" It, and a small
back room. In the wall paintings are
to be seen men drinking and gam
bling, clad in the peoples costume.
Various inscriptions are added to It,
to copy which permission has not yet
been given. A BARNARD is also repre-
scented in the painting, bringing a
flask and glass To two guests, one OF
whom, according to the inscription,
says, That's not mime" the maid re-
plying "He who likes will take it,"
A scuffle and skirmage between two
men grasping each others hair is a
subject for further painting. A third
man, pulling one Of the two out by
the tunic, cxclaims: "Out with you!
Better quarrel before the door" In
another house, built and decorated in
beautiful style, an inscription has
been scrawled on the wall Of one Of
the rooms. In short, these excava-
lions have the effect of placing the
spectator most wildly in the pres
ence of Roman life-of human life as

MANY stories are told Of the clever
ness of the Cossacks in obtaining
what they need for themselves or their
horses. Passing through the streets
of GaIatz recently, the thin weary
looking horse of Cossack fell sud
denly aud lay apparently lifeless on
the ground. Its master began be-
walling the unhappy fate which had
not only deprived him Of favorite,
but left him horseless at the most iu-
teresting moment of the war. A
crowd gathered around, and in it
were several mon who started a sub
scription to enable the soldier to pro-
cure another animal. Taking the
money, and then removing The saddle
from the horse, the Cossack wiped act
uaI tears from his eyes and went on
his way. AS the crowd were bending
in pure sympathy over the stifeDed
horse a whistle was heard at the 9th
er end of the street, the horse sprang
to his feet, and with joyful neigh
fastened to join his Shrewd master.
