The price of the exhibitions varies. ranging front $1 to fifty cents. We •lo not know whether theft charge is for a sight of the welt alone or a sight of the well and company. On last Finlay the charges dropjied to 50 cent*, whether this was for a sight of the well or company, or an exciir-KHi rate we are unable to say, but if they are short of funds we hofic they will meet with decided smx-esa. as they may not always have a gas well, and should make the best of the one tlley hare while it last-, for “Jumbo of Petersburg" mav yet die in its infancy amt not assume t(te gigantic (wuportioibi that has been prophesied for it. -Winslow Era. The gas company of Petersburg are doing nothing of the kind and are not running short of funds by any manner of means, but on the oilier hand have lots of money and some to throw at the birdie*. The gent lernen who are drilling the well hare complete charge of the nuav and it hae not been turned over to the gas company. When the well is closed down it generally takes a little time to open it up and the workmen generally get a ducking for their efforts to •how the people what it is. Ami if {<eople desire to see the gas and water spout when the well is shut off they generally “crack" down, whiek is no more than right. Come now. Aldie, ami don't get frightened. Some day the boy* will send yon over a bottle of gas. Old Jumbo is right in the push with the best of ’em, and is getting stronger every day.
