Oil Notes.

From a gentleman who just came
from there we learn that the Balitown
we'll is considered a success. He says
the operators were obliged to shut
down pumping owing to lack ofstor-
age. They filled tank and several
barrels which we're on the ground, and
are busy at work putting up more
tankage. The well is said by one Of
the contractors to be good for ten
barrels, and the oil is the very best
lubricating quality. Large numbers
Of interested parties from Tidioute
and other points have visited it and
pronounce it a success. The pumping
will be resumed as soon as sufficient
storage can be obtained, which Will be
in the course Of four or five days.
Drilling has commenced on a new
we'll at Foxes, seven miles farther up
the creek from the Balltown well, and
will probably be down in two weeks,
with no bad luck. The old we'll at
that place (Foxes) is still flowing, and
has been ever since it was struck,
some two or three years ago. This
territory lies along the line of the belt
run couple Of years ago between
Edenburg and Bradford the most
carefully run of which was the belts
known as "the Hilands belt" run by
VIM. Hilands Esq, of Franklin, be-
tween these points, connecting the
great oil fields. 1t is but mere
matter Of time and a slight advance in
the price Of oil, and the territory
along Tionesta creek will loom up
second to none in the Pennsylvania
oil regions. The existence of petrole.
um in paying quantities there is 6
fixed fact.
Geo. S. Hunter is putting up the ril
for new well near the Tionesta depot
and expects to commence drilling
within ten days or two weeks. Tht
present well just back of the depot i
still pumping and producing heavy
oil, considerable quantity ofwhich h,
has disposed of for lubricating g pur
poses at S400 per barrel.

Agricultural,
For the REPUpLICAN.

For the REPUBLICAN,.
There is a law, standing III the
books, uhrepealed, passed in the year
1862, Of which many are not aware,
under the head Of Agriculture, for the
purpose Of exterminating that fearful
pest, Canada thistles )" the first Sec
ton of which declares that Canada
thistles shall not be permitted to ripen
or 90 TO seed upon the lands of any
person, under penalty Of $15,-one-
half to the county, and the other half
to the informer. And, also, that if
any person OH whose lands the same
are growing shah either neglect or
refuse, any other person may cut and
destroy the same at the end Of 5 days
notice, and charge the land owner 81
per day, and recover the same. We
quote this law as it is OF importance
here. In Harmony township, at one
or two points, faxseed was used at
tho wells, which contained the seeds of
the Canada thistle, aud the same being
empted on the ground quite large
patches have been formed, which
SHOULD be nipped in the bud" and
spread prevented, as Gan ounce of pre-
vention is worth a pound of cure"
"a word to the wise is sufficient"

There is not much in the way of
"news" to report from our quiet will
age, yet perhaps a few words from us
may fll-not only part Of a column,
in your paper, but also an inquisitive
void in the minds Of those who are
interested in the local affairs Of our
county.
We had our share of rain during
the past ten days, and the operations
of our farmers have been kept back
thereby somewhat.
Berries have begun to ripen, and
hands stained with the purple gore
tell of the harvest being gathered, /,
while kitchens, in which thermome-.
ter willis when called upon to record
the heat, tell of the preserving and
canning going on, which promise
such glorious fruits when the winter
comes again.
Mr.. Parkinson Black has left our
community for short time May the
fates be propitious to him, and may
his journeyings be through places.
A walk over to Poverty Hill re-
veals the sorrowful fact that no "news"
are to be had there. "Some buckle
berries they will tell you, "but no
news" ooh, yes! A rattlesnake was
killed down near the school house the
other day"
"Fred, our blacksmith has added
to his premises a small "purp," and
he warns the public that another at

Wing Hill Notes.
INDEX.

Farmers are generally done, or
nearly so, with their haying. Wing
Hill beats the world for farm work.
We hear that the "brRg" work was
done at Stowtown this summer, from
the fact that one ofthe harvesters there
unloaded an average load Of hay in
13 minutes. Yesterday Charles b.
Grove, of Wing Hill, unloaded n big
load of hay in II minutes. This same
load was all that could be drawn by
one team, and the team is as good rs
any Forest county can boast Of Mr..
Grove was timed to a second and un-
loaded the hay, pitching it up a dis
tance Of from to 10 feet. If any one
can beat that, we should like to hear
from them soon as possible
Oats promises a good crop. Much
Of it is fast coloring and soon will
the sturdy farmers of this section be
swinging the cradle, grain cradle, we
mean-and others bind and garner it.
Buckwheat looks good. Potatoes will
be an average crop. As to corn we
can't say. VIII tell you when it
becomes apparent. KEENE
