Democrat gives this interesting account of the Pstrolenm pipe line through that portion of the coal oil region of Pennsylvania. It forcibly illus trates oertain familiar phenomena in physio?: John Ward, one of the watohmen on doty during the filling of tne new oil pipe line, gives the following aooount of what he saw: The line crosses Hiner’s Ban. or its headwaters, at a plaoeoalled MoOinre’s Springs. Here there is qaite a hollow or .depression-- in the ground. From tbia place to the reBidenoe of Mr. Holding, some six miles there ia a grad ual rUtjlhis the oil had to climb after passing the hollow at that spring. I wae .told to watch well tnis hollow as tha oil had ascended the Dettle Creek Moantain and was coming. I repaired to the hollow and lay some hoars there, when I heard a sound tike a heavy wind, and presently beard tne oil gargling past. I waited some time. Thera was no leakage and all seemed perfect. I thought that the pipe line was a suc cess for sore, and so left my position and passed along to see if it was all right ahead. I bad gone some two miles when I reoeived a dispaich to wxtoh wtll the hollow and not to leave it for some time, so I hastened back. Imagine my aston ishment when I saw th9 place I bad left each a short time befoia so tame, now hissing at 10,COO points. Jets or oii were flying twenty feet high, and hun dreds of barrels flxwing down Hmer’s Bun, never to eee a market. I thought the pipe was gone np, sure At first I wa3 afraid to approach it. but soon grew valiant, and witn calking chis el I stt to work to atop the leak. I made poor headway. ’ It was a dark night, and I dared have no light. I had taken off my coat, the whuz'ng oil carried away my hat, and I very soon becami- tboroughly drenched with oil. My pock ets and my hair and eyes were full, and if I was not then an oil man I wonld Iik*- to know what constitutes one. I at length grew sick, and supposed I would hav® to give ap and all would be lest, when all at onoe the whizain2 stopped, and, in stead of an oat pressure, I could bear at> in-drawing—a suotion of air. I now re alized the faot that the oil had all this time been climbing the upgrade to Mr. Holding’s, but was now on the deBCeni for Pine Bottom Bun. This caused a suction, and relieved the hollow at the springs. I eg&in waited some time, when I re ceived a dispatoh to hasten to Haney ville, that the pipe was tmrsting. I procured a horse and went witn all s*. eed. When I arrived tha people there were greatly ex cite 1. The pipe waa throbbing and whiz zing at every pore. MoCmre Springs were nowhere. The oil was spouting from the pipe for miles. I made no at tempt to oalk. I knew from my experi ence at MoClnre’a Springs that the oil had reaohed and waaolioobing the high moon- tain below Pine Creek, bnt the presenre was so great that I feared ever; nmsent tbe pipes wonld burst. Here was fo(fi» agaimt which human power was of no avail, hence, we only stood and looked on, when suddenly, as quick ag thought, all cooiu>oti?9 sowed, except A sucking In of air, and 1 heard toe oil pass rapidly along the pipe and knew it had crossed over the mountain and was speeding its way to Williamsport, with po more mountain to climb, and that the oil line was an established fact. —Emperor William insisted upon a good old-fssbionsd kiss from tha ladies and ohil- drea at the royal golden wedding.

Last Week’s- Cotton Figures. TBE C&OP SITUATION. The New York Chronicle of Saturday last reports the receipts of the seven days ending Friday .Right, 27th instant, at 6.293 bales, against 6.879 for the same week of last year. Total receipts of so mooh of the cotton year as ended with that date 4,420,903 bales against 4 237,- 315 for the corresponding period of the cotton year 1877-8. showing an increase of 183,588 bales. Tbe interior port business of these days waa ae follows : Receipts 2.959, against 5 236 for the same week of last year. Shipman's 7.042, 'against 7,034 last year. Blooks 25,223, against 23,240 at same da'e last year. The Ckroniele’f visible supply table showed, on Friday night lost, 1,561.808 bales of cotton in sight, against 1.823,- 794 bales at tbe eorreepondiog data of last year. 2,397,253 at same date in 1877. and 2,457,937 at same date in 1876, This snows a decrease in the visible sup ply as compared with that of last year of 261,986 bales; a decrease on the sup ply in 1877 ot 834,445 bales, and a de crease ob the visible supply of 1876 of 896.129 bales. Middling upland in the Liverpool mar ket waa quoted last Friday at 6i; at same date last year the quotation was 6 3-16; in 1877 at same date it was 6 5*16, and in 1876 at earns date it was six penop. The Chronicle's weather telegrams for the week ending last Friday show that tbe situation m Texas has been partially relieved by Ught showers, la Galveston 1.75 of rain hod fallen during the week. Cotton was doing tolerably well, but corn was much in j ured. IndUnol* had bad only three light sprinkles. Cotton was beginning to suffer aad corn woe nearly ruined. Dalles makes a similar report. Brenham bad no rainfall. Corn crop out short beyond redemption. Cotton on black lands doieg well, but Buffering dreadfully on sandy lands. Northern Texas repotts pretty good rains, bat Eas tern, Western and Boatbern Texas, were all suffering. Louisiana reports no rain. Miuiaetppi was vary dry. Alabama had fine showers everywhere, and the cottonerop wm ev erywhere progressing. Mobile had cat erpillar rumor*, but waa indifferent about them. Georgia, at Meeon and Coloua bu?, reported light rains and erop prom i;iag. Savannah and Augusta hod so rain and crops need It badly. August* says from the present outlook erop esti mate* will be reduced. The fields we clean and stands fair, bat coftoq ie HOgd and making tardy growth. The Weather was dry and warm la Charleston. The Chronicle has a very extended and carefully prepared article of eight col umns oa the oriton acreage and oondi- lion of the crop*, with theee conclusions: 1 That the area In cultivation is 12,- 679 962 acre*, agsiuri 12.269,962 acres in 1878— showing a net increase of 8.34 per Cent.' 2 That the crop is ten days to two weeks bxhind last year. - Fields clear end welt cultivated and. perfeot and healthy stands secured, with tba exception of a part of Georgia. The condition of the Mississippi valley in these respects is better than it was a year ago. The drouth in Texas threatens barm. The aitnation, conpled with the most favorable Beason and highest pro- duel: wonld make possible a crop of 5,812,- 806 bales. It tbe most onfavorable con ations are realized, a crop ot 3.871,744 biles would be the result. Now, if the reader of the TxLEaBAFH AND Messen ger wilt split the difference, straight through the middle of It, his deduction will tv* for the year 1879 SO a crop of 4.842,265 oaleB, whioh, in our conjecture, will be not far from the aotual crop bt that cotton year. —Lillie Oner, who rbot end killed Ellen Hearn, at Snow Hill, Md., boa written a love atoty for the Philadelphia Times, and oou- templ -tee a leotariog tour —Farmers at Wto.ita, Kin., are htallng buSaio b nee into <<>wn every day.
