The recent report of an Indiar
massacre in Dakota originated in 6
practical joke A party of frisky set
tiers dressed up as savages and with
wild whoop and scalping knives de-
scended upon an honest German. II
was fun for the risky settlers, but not
for the Gerr,aD, who dropped his hat
and didn't stop running 1ntil he reach
ed another settlement, thirty miles
away.
On Thursday last oil was worth
but 49 cents barrel, while on Satur-
day it was worth 81 cents. Murphy
we'll No. 2, in the Cherry Grove dis
trict, in Warren county, which started
off at nearly 5000 barrels per day, sent
the market down from SO to 40, but
the rapid decrease in the production OF
this well and the completion of two
dry holes, one east and the other west
of the big spouters, sent it up again.
We call your attention to the advertise
ment of Simmons Liver Regulator, which ap-
| pears in the paper of to-day. This standard
| remedy. the only genuine of which is manu-
actured by j. III. Zeilin & Co., and OF which
! they are the sole proprietors, does not deserve
| to be classed with the many "patent" nostrums
so liberally advertised throughout the country
1t is-one of the very best preparations In use
and is recommended by the regular practition-
ers of medicine. 1t has large sale In the
city, and can be found in all drug stores. A
bottle or package should be found in every
family, as its judicious use is almost sure 10

of the celebrations of the Fourth
of July reported last Thursday from
any quarter of the globe the most pic
turesque was the salute of the Ameri-
can flag by all the war vessels in the
harbor Of Alexandria, representing al
most every maratime nation of Europe.
The construction put upon the ceremony
by the Arab population of the town,
and particularly by one imaginative
citizen whose conversation was tele-
graphed, bears faithful witness to the
degree ofintelligence of Of Mohammedans
generally concerning the United States
Trading in lands in Cherry Grove
has had no parallel since 1855. Lot
e35. which was owned by Cadwalla-
derrW. ii. Johnston and. Vandergrlft,
was divided into five acre lots, and
sold at from $1,000 down to $500 per
acre, according to location, and fourth
royalty Murphy sold to McCalmont
Oil Co, seventy acres on 6l9, at $1,000
per acre fee, and this has all been sub
leased at $500 per acre, and half the
oil royalty. This gives some. idea Of
how speculation has run there. All
told. nearly million dollars have
been squandered or deposited in Cher
ry Grove since the opening of the
Mystery, for lands and leases, to say
nothing of original purchases.
The burning well on lot 657,
Cherry Grove district, Warren county,
belonging to the Anchor Oil Company,
was extinguished last Friday week
Mr.. Wick Gretlcr, of Bradford, did the
business. He is an ingenious man and
the inventor of the oil saver. he in
vented novel gun about six inches
long and placed it against the casing
cap. The'heat burned out wooden
plug and exploded. the powder and the
prejectile knocked off the casing head.
Then the burning oil went up in one
stream An elbow to which was at
tached several lead pipes was then
swung into position and dropped into
the casing. The oil was thus carried
off in different directions and the flames
were extinguished Ffor'-w want of fuel
Gretler had no contract for the job, but
will no doubt be well paid by the CON-
pany, The well burned ten days, and
the fire is said to have destroyed at
least 500, 600 worth of oil, &c.
Mr.. Miller the Evansburg hotel
keeper, was in the habit of keeping a
large sum Of money in the drawer of q
wardrobe in his bed room. The draw
er was kept locked but, the key to it
was usually placed, in small glass,
on stand, alongside of the wardrobe,
On Friday the 30Ih ult. at about ] /
O'Clock A. NJ, Mr.. Miller went up
stairs and got change for bill, but
when he went again for change, about
I O'Clock, bis money or the greater
part of It was gone. He, at first,
claimed that he had lost $4,000, but
discovering that some $500 in gold
and some silver that was lying loose
in the drawer was not taken he
reduced bis loss to $1,000. Mr. M.
