The Windsor company, which COM
mcnced boring for gus ut the new. town Of
Windsor, on the Pcwiky road, la few weeks
ago, have drilled to depth OF 425 feet,
and struck Il vein OF gas larger than any
ever before encountered at that or a SINH.
lnr depth. The formations through which
the drill has passed resemblcvery much
those in all successful wells, except that
Mt depth Of two hundred feet n twenty
five foot vein nj superior fire clay was en-
countered. Manufacturers from a dis,
lance have already visited the place to ex-
anime tho clay and the locality The
present flow OF gas threw water and
stones two hundred feet into the air when
It first rushed out, and burned when light,
ed to great height. 1t is estimated that
its volume Is Mt least half that OF tho
large wells at Wellsburg. The drilling
will be continued, however.

that he did not know he had so many
friends" The people were entertained by
the host and hostess with some excellent
music. Several choice selections were
also rendered by Miss Anna Gagss, which
were well received. About $50 the COM

ton at first was 10 hold the meeting in

comfortably filed by 1880 o'clock, when
Air. John brown called for order, and in
troduced Mr.. Joe Devinc as the speaker
OF the evening. This young gentleman
was warmly received, and his remarks
were carefully listened to. He con-
fined himself almost exclusive
ly 10 the tariff issue in the present cam
paign, and the manneri in which he handled
his subject showed him to be thoroughly
conversant with it. A com ncrdable fen
ture OF his speech was the plainness OF his
statements. He also urged watchiulness
and hard work Mt the polls to-day. Mr..
Dcvine, although young, is iair, speaker.
He possesses good voice, which he has
taken the pains TO cultivate, and this fact
adds to thc pleasure OF hearing import
ant issues properly presented by him. f.
Mr.. Devine is also M Eightlwarder,
and this factadded much to the pleasure
those present had in listening to him.
Col. Poorman, OF Bellaire, was announced
US one OF the speakers, but had not ap-
peared when the reporter was obliged 10
leave. The club, at the conclusion OF the
meeting, proposed making hnal arrange
ments for to-day. The Eighth ward ex-
