—The burning oil well near Franklin,
Pa., on the Alleghany river, is a wonder
ful phenomenon. It shoots up a vast

—A wizard in Loudon has just intro
duced into his performance a speaking

famous one of Friar Bacon in its powers
of elocution and apparent volition. A
square box, with a flap at its side, is
btougdt to the front of the stage and
placed on a low table, beneath which
you can see ; and the flap beiug lowered,
you behold a head and neck modeled on
that of the Egyptian Sphynx. but in
tensely human in expression. Then the
wizard, who is an admirable ventrilo
quist, retires to the centre of the audi.
enee, to prevent the inference that he is
tiie speaker and not the head, which, at
his word of command, slowly opens its
eyes, turns them to the right and left,
and then smiles. This is the most curi
ous featurp of the exhibition. The smile
seems to gather force, and gradually
ripples over the whole face with so
strange and weird an effect ns ordinarily
to provoke murmurs of applause. The
Spbyux afterwahle speaks.
