The experience which em;grants
to Manitoba are now having will not
encourage people to settle in that re-
gion. While in the most of our West
ern country the farmers are having
fair weather and are ahead in their
spring work, the railroads to Manitoba
are blockaded by immense snow drifts,
and train with 500 emigrants is fro
zen in three miles from any point of
supply The people have suffered
from hunger, and, though they are not
now in danger of starvation, they may
be left without fuel or lights before
they can be got out Even if all be
true that is said of the fertility of the
valley Of tie Red River of the North,
the length and severity of its winters
will tend to retard the development
of its resources, especially so long as
there is 80 much land open to settlers
in our own Northwest.

IN Wednesdav Roh,t M,Caffe

On "Wednesday Roh't M'Cafferty,
son of James M'Cafferty, of Buffalo tp.,
Butler county, was hauling baled hay
to Sarvers Station, on the Butler
Branch. In going down the hill to the
station he fell off the wagon in front
the front wheel passing diagonally
across his breast, from left to right
and twisting his body around so that
the hind wheel passed over his right
shoulder and across his breast in the
opposite direction. 1t is thought that
he cannot possibly recover, but at last
accounts was still living. There was
2,TOO pounds of hay, which, with the
weight of the wagon, made about 4 1000
pounds that passed over his body

The New OIL Field.

Shortly after the Simcox and Myers
we'll was tubed, last Tuesday, it CON-
menced flowing oil through the tubing
at the rate of about one hundred bar
rels per day, and was reported yester
day to be still flowing at the rate of
about eighty barrels. This we'll is
located on the Hamel farm, in the
northwest corner of Penn township,
and is 148 rods east of 221 degree
line passing through Bald Ridge No. ].
This 224 degree line (north 2244
degrees east, or south22a degrees west)
was run some years ago from the Bull
lion or old Oil city belt, and Bald
Ridge wells, No. l and were located
at or near the junction of this line with
IS degree line run from the Greece
city cross belt. Obtaining oil at this
point has naturally created some ex-
citement in oil circles and among the
land owners of the vicinity. Property
for miles north and south of the new
well, on the 22k degree line, and also
on the Greece city line, the Herman
station line and the Carbon Centre,
has been leased. Some oil rights have
also been sold at good figures. Mr..
John Weber, whose farm adjoins the
Hamel, to the south, has sold the oil
right of his farm for $50 per acre and
one eighth royalty.
Quite number of new wells will be
put down in that vicinity Immediately
and until some of these new wells are
down, it will be impossible to tell
whether the new well is on a belt or
pool, or in which direction it extends.
The old Oil city belt is said to have
been belt of pools.
The Bald Ridge Oil Company has
located FIVE new oil wells on their leas-
es. They are also drilling their No.
8 we'll, on the Crow farm, (For-
ward township deeper. The Phil
lips Bros. have located several
wells on their leases in the vicinity.
This firm have leased thousands of
acres, on lines running from Herman
station and from point near Carbon
Centre, to the Bald Ridge territory.
The United Oil Company (Taylor &
co., have leased large number of
properties on the 22k degree line and
have located well on the William M.
Brown farm, in Forward township.
Kerr Mcbride has located a well on
the Gruver farm, in Butler township.
The Mcconnell well, on the Miller
farm, in Butler township, is down
about 800 feet; it is some distance
west of the 22a line, near the old camp
meeting ground.
These are all the new wells we have
heard of, and they will surely be
enough to thoroughly test the territory.
The sand is so deep that some of the
oil operators believe there are 500 bar
rel wells to be had in the vicinity. We
hope so. 1t will be big thing for
Butler. The town has frightened la
ready, and for this new luck it is large
ly indebted to the Bald Ridge Oil Co.,
who risked their money, in what, to
many, seemed very foolish enterprise,
and particularly to the originator and
chief promoter of the Company, Ferd

We wish to call your attention to
the fact that we are now manufactur-
ing three grades of -four at our Orien-
tai Roller Mills, Mifflin street, and we
will furnish all who apply with our
EXCHANGE CARD, a printed list,
showing how much -four and offal of
each kind can be had for bushel of
wheat. We can assert, with pride,
that we have the trade of the best and
largest farmers in our own county, and
more yet, have gained the patronage
of those of adjoining counties, twenty
and thirty miles distant. Our fours
have no superior any where and no
equal in this part of the State. Our
enemies have circulated falsehoods as
to our mode of exchanging wheat, in
tending this to injure our prosperous
business. Our Exchange Card" ex-
plains all, and we say to our country
friends, get copy, and then deal with
those who speak the truth, make the
best -four and, in short, render the
most honest and satisfactory returns
