estimated at from 5000 to 10000 cubic
feet per hour, \ pipe was inserted in
the well and match applied and
volume of blaze twenty feet in hight
spurted up into the air. The roar OF
the gas as it escapes can be heard for
some distance. To-day the well was
sunk five feet deeper and a still greater
volume than that of last night issued
forth. The well was visited to-day by
hundreds of our people, and it is esti-
mated by some of the very best Judges
that mo e gas escaped from ii in one
hour than is burned by the whole city
OF Fort Scott in a whole day. The
persons who bored the well were TO
sink it 800 feet. The gas is of the
finest quality, being perfectly odorless,
Just like the great well at Pittsburg,
Pa. Its value for lighting or heating
purposes will have to be tested before
any certain conclusion can be reached
as to the real value of the discovery.

TrameEing in Young cir 3.

READING, PA, March ii. Before an
alderman OF this city there appeared
yesterday afternoon a respectable far
mer of Upper Lehigh, named Moses
Wagonhorst, who related a story of
the successful enticement from home
of seven young girls, the daughters of
respectable farmers in his neighbor-
hood. For several weeks past two pa
triarchal-looking men, pretending to
be Mormon missionaries, endeavored
TO make proselytes among the farmers,
advising them to sell out and 90 to
Utah. The good-looking young girls
were next approached, and stories
poured into their ears OF the golden
opportunities presented to them to
lead lives of ease and luxury by be-
coming the wives of Mormon priests
in Utah. The bait was swallowed by
seven of the unsophisticated maidens.
who left their homes and friends
last week accompanied by the strang-
ers, their parents giving half reluc-
tant consent. The true character of
the missionaries was soon discovered
when the party landed in New York
City. The girls were taken TO disrep-
utable houses and efforts made to
compel them to lead life of shame.
-Four of them have just returned
home, telling a pitiable tale. The
other three could not face their pa
rents, they said, and remained in the
clutches of the men who entrapped
them. The city being entirely unfa-
miliar to them, the girls could not
give any information as TO the locality

MnIes AmIcted wItn mrarorhobIn.

PoPLAR BLUFF, Mo-, March l3.-On
the 4th of February last several cattle
belonging to b. Turner, running on
his range six miles south of this city,
and some mulss belonging to John
Baxter and Elisha Prewitt, running in
adjoining fields were bitten by a
rabid dog. Yesterday one OF the
mules belonging to Prewitt showed
unmistakable signs of hydrophobia,
running wildly and aimlessly about
in the field, paving the earth and
Drawing as if in terrible agony. This
morning the animal died, and another
belonging to Baxter was taken with
similar symptoms. The beast would
roll upon the ground, FIJI its mouth
with dirt, then springing to its feet
would run at break-neck gait over
stumps and logs and through thick
underground. Some Of the cattle
acted strangely this morning, and the
probability is that Turner will lose
his entire herd. 1t is not known how
many more, if any, were bitten.

misunderstanding about trivial mat

them went together and succeeded in
bruising one another up considerably,
Mr.. Peppen getting the worst of the
encounter. After they had been sep
arated Mr.. Peppen went home, pro-
cured his revolver and returned to
the saloon and commenced firing at
Mr.. Grinder, who picked up a double
barrel shotgun from behind the coun-
ter, which, fortunately, was unloaded,
and snapped both hammers at Mr..
Peppen, who had in the meantime
fired five shots, none of them taking

Dow Hall and knocked on the door,
when he was informed by Halls wife
that he was not at home. The officer
concluded, however, to wait in the
yard until day for his man, and was
rewarded at that time by Hall opening
the door and informing him that he
would not come to Helena unless it
was feet foremost. He then slammed
the door to and fred at the officer
through crack in the house, which
was promptly returned by the officer
until he heard Hall command his wife
to bring his musket. The officer real
izing that he was placed at great
disadvantage wisely concluded to come
to the city and get assistance and re-
turn and arrest him. Officer Burke
is of the opinion that he wounded
Hall, as he took deliberate aim at his
side through crack in the house.
