The town board met in regular session Thursday night. The petition of tlie fire company to serve for nothing was not considered*.

Monday the same clubs played at Oatsville, when Petersburg was defeated by a score of 15 to 9. Blair and Abridge pitched tor Petersburg aud Welch tor Oatsville. The gas well at the corner of Main and Seventh streets is still spouting gas at intervals. The gas is becoming stronger each day, and if the water was cased off it would burn all the time. There is no question whatever but what a strong flow of gas could be secured if proper explorationwere made for it, but it seems that the men-ot means are aft-kid to risk a few dollars in making the test. If there is gas here it should be secured Wake up.
