A Terrible Death.

A most frightful accident occurred
at East Hickory last Wednesday
afternoon, of which the following par
ticulars are given by the Tidioute
NelUs
On Wednesday afternoon Louisa j.
Anderson, daughter of Jos. Anderson,
of Triumph, employed at the house of
Geo. w. Warden in East Hickory,
was fatally burned. 1t seems she had
spilled some refined oil on her clothing
and the kitchen floor, and having
heard that the oil, if ignited, would
burn without destroying the article
with which it was in contact, she at
tempted to burn the oil from the floor.
In some way, however, she ignited her
clothing. Iu an instant she was in
the midst Of flames, her clothing being
entirely burned from her body The
accident happened about six o'clock
in the evening and she fingered in in
tense agony until seven o'clock yester.
day morning, when death came to her
relief. DR.. Diefendorf spent the night
with her, and reports her condition at
pitiable in the extreme. Even her
tongue was burned and bl6ckened.-
Her age was only fourteen years. No
damage was done to the house of Mr.
Warden, as the girl ran out into the
open air, where Mr.. Warden did all IL
his power to quench the fire, but with
out adequate results.

A DastardIy Outrage.

A dispatch from Tylersburg, Pa,
to the Derrick, dated May 15, gives
the following account of most beast
ly outrage: Last night about eleven
o'clock six burly ruffiaus forced an
entrance into the residence Of Mrs.
Napp, a widow lady, who, with her
daughter, aged twenty years, resides
between this place aud Newmanville,
and dragging the old lady out of bed,
beat and abused her in a shocking
manner. The daughter, who was
sleeping in an adjoining room, came
to TIE rescue of her mother, but before
she could render any assistance she
was seized, and after being subject to
horrible outrages, in which all the in
human fiends took part, she was
pounded until insensible. The rascals
then decamped hastily and are still at
large, though large posse of men are
in hot pursuit, with every prospect OF
capturing them.

Sudden Death Of Mrs. cOnver.


We are called upon this week to
chronicle the sudden and unexpected
death Of Mrs. A. w. Conver, which
occurred at the residence of her broth.
er Mr.. James Stewart near Copneaut
Lake, Crawford county, Pa, on Mon
day last. She had been in rather
delicate health for several months
past. and about four weeks ago left
this place, giving up housekeeping,
for the purpose Of recuperating and
regaining her wonted health. Her
relatives and friends did not look upon
her condition as serious, or in the
least likely to prove fatal, and the
telegram announcing her death, which
was their" first intimation that any.
thing was wrong, caused them a Sc.
we're shock. At this writing VIC are
without particulars as to the cause Of
her sudden taking of, but presume it
was occasoned by heart disease
Mrs. Conver was born May II,
1886, near Conneaut Lake, where she
died OE May IA, 1888, making her age
AZ years, lacking three days. She was
married March II, 1871, to P. o. Con.
yer, then editor of the Forest Press,
and soon after came here where she
has ever since made her home, Mr.
Conver having preceded her in death
five years. She united with the Pres
byterian Church early III life, and up
on her removal to this place became
an active member here, which member
ship she kept up till the day of her
death. Mrs. @. bore the esteem Of a
large circle of friends and acquaint.
ances in this cemmuHity, who will be
panied to learn Of her sudden demise
and will mourn her loss accordingly.
The funeral will take place, we
learn, to-day, and her remains will be
laid to rest in the cemetery near where
her early life was passed.

OIL NOTES.

Several new gushers have been op.
ened 10 the Balltown district during
the.wssk. Among them is the Ball
town No. 9, or as some reports have it,
No. g.; the POrcupine No. 3; the
Union Ne. 10, tract 319S, and the
Fsrtig & Henns No. 2. The Balltown
Co.'s started at the rate Of about 600
barrels, and although it has declined
somewhat since that, it still holds up
to big figure.
The Porcupine will be good for 100
barrels with the chances favorable for
a still larger production.
The Union No 10 made 1877 barrels
the frat twenty.iour hours, which it
has kept up to pretty we'll ever since.
Fertig & Henne's is reported at from
fifteen to twenty barrels.
The Gartlan well is kept profound
mystery. The derrick is tightly
boarded up, and the scouts have net
been able to "size it up as yet. AT
last accounts they we're not done drill
ing, but were expected to reach the
sand at any moment.
We have been asked what the aver
age depth of the Balltown wells were.
The depth varies according to eleva-
ton, of course. Some of the wells
back on the hills are obliged to &c
1900 feet, while those down on the fats
find the sand and oil at depth vary
ing from 1900 to 1900 feet; this would
make the average depth about 140C
feet.
The Derrick this morning has the
following from the Forest field:
Whatever the owners may know
about the Gartlan well, in the north
east corner of 1874, it is pretty Ger
tain that the outside public has no
yet fathomed the mystery. The well il
kept closely guarded, and not a clue
TO the movements inside the derricl
can be learned. They were drilling
some to-day, but how much is no
known, nor can it be ascertained whel
the well will be completed.
Union Oil CO.. No. /, on tract 319S
is about the same kind of we'll a
that of Shannon No. 2. It's Location
would indicate that it is on the west
ern edge of the Reno belt, and its siz
f proves this, as it is smaller than th
wells to the east oft.

THE NOISE OF THE FINGER.

DR.. Hammond says that when you
poke the end of your finger in your ear
tho roaring noise you hear is tile sound
Of the circulation in your finger, which
is fact, as any one can demonstrate for
himself by first putting his fingersin his
ears, and then stopping them up with
other substance. Try it, and think
what wonder of machine your body
is, that even the points OF your fingers
are such busy workshops that they roar
like a small Niagara. The roaring Is
probably more than the noise Of the Cir
culation of the blood. 1t is the voice OF
all the vital processes together--the
,earing-down and building-up pro-
cesses that are always going forward in
every living body from conception to
death
