The Texas Oil Well.

One of the wonders of the day is
the oil well lately discovered in
Texas. The Mining and Engineer
ing Journal gives the following
item in reference to it:
At a depth of 1900 feet oil was
struck suddenly and almost with
out warning. The four-inch pipe in
use, which weighed at least six tons,
was forced to the surface by the
sudden flow of the oil, carried
through the top of the derrick
which is sixty feet highland thrown
up in the air distance estimated at
900 feet. Tackle and top of the der
rick were carried away, while the
pipe bent and curled up, falling to
the ground clear of the derrick, in a
position where, fortunately, it in
iured no one.

CHARLIE SNYDfR'S PARTY.

Snyder a surprise on Wednesday,
that being the date of his 7eth birth
day. The ladies' of the household
were informed of the coming event,
but Charles was kept in the shade,
although the savory smell from the
cooking turkey and the aromatic
odor from the steaming mince pies,
excited his suspicion that something
out of the ordinary was going to
happen. The crowd arrived about
ten o'clock in the forenoon and at
once went to work cutting, tearing
and sewing rags for carpet to be
disposed of at the Church Fair soon
to be held in Yerington. Songs

jokes were exchanged, stories told,
and all without interfering with or
retarding the work on hand At
about one o'clock the workers were
called from labor to refreshments,
and they gathered around a table
that fairly groaned with the weight
of good things. Mr.. Gregory acted
as master of ceremonies, assisted by
Mr.. Clinton. Mr.. Snyder, to show
that age does not affect his love for
the fair sex, kissed the whole sewing
circle with vim and smack that
made the Young(er) male persuasion
turn green with envy. Some OF the
elder ladies who either do not ap-
prove of promiscuous OSCILLATION

never lost a trick. The younger
ladies took their medicine as a mat
