The Case of Rev. J. H. Siddall.

The Rev. J. H. Siddall, late of Kentland, is now in jail at this place, and will be tried at the June term of the circuit court, his case having been sent here on change of venue. While there is no question as to his having committed the abhorrent and unmentionable things that are charged against him, nor of the baneful effects his offenses will have upon his many victims, there is a question as to his legal and moral responsibility for his acts. It is scarcely conceivable that a man of his position and attainments could descend to such unutterable depravity except through abberation of his mental faculties. But the question of his mental condition will, of ccnirse, be fully investigated at his approaching trial, and if proved to have been insane when his offenses were committed he should be treated accordingly, and if the contrary condition of mind is shown he should receive a punishment commensurate, as far as may be, with the evil results of his crime.

The Staying Qualities of Gas.

FittsLurg Chroii icate. The cheerful idiot who periodically announces to the world that the natural-gas wells are failing, has been around again. The truth is, the supply was never so great and the prospect so favorable for its unbroken . continuance as at present. The old wells are all holding up to their Jull production except where allowed to become clogged with salt, and in the latter cases they return at once to their pristine vigor when the obstruction is removed, - as it easily and speedily can be. Natural gas has come to stay for a good many years yet.

Value of a Natural Gas Well.

The Simons gas well, owned by one of the Toledo companies, has lately been accurately measured and its exact capacity determined. This is shown to be 12,400,000 feet per day. For use as fuel 12,000 feet of gas is eqqal to* one ton of the best bitumious coal. By this reckoning the daily product of this one well is equal to 1,033 tons of coal; 7,321 tons per week; 376,012 tons per year. One well m supposed to draw from about eight acres.—Ex. ■ If the above statements are correct there must be gas enough’ now going to waste in Indiana every day to equal in value not less than 10,000 tdns of cool, worth say $20,000 a day, or $7,300,000 a year.

An erronious impression prevails quite generally that unsealed letters are carried through the mails for one cent postage. This is a mistake. No private or personal communication, except drop letters, can be sent through the mails for one cent, other than those written upon postal cards. Printed circulars, which are general in their terms, are carried for one cent, when enclosed in unsealed envelopes, but no written communication.

E. H. Wilson, of the Toledo, Ohio, Oil Company, is a. typical oilman. He was brought up in the oil regions of Pennsylvania, and used to dip petroleum from the voters of Oil creek, on a canvas frame, to sell for medicinal purposes,.long before the use of coal oil became general for other purposes. He has drilled innumerable wells in this country and many in other and the remotest the earth. In the Baku region of Russia, in Egypt, in Mexico and in South America. He is the sole survivor of a. pfcrty of six which were blown up by a. premature explosion of a nitroglicerine torpedo. He bears over a.hundred scars as tokens of this explosion,, which laid him up for four years. One eye is gone and one leg was broken in five places. The remains of the man who was handling the torpedo were buried in a cigar box, and not crowded for room. ■

John M. McCallan, of Indianapolis, agent for Lovett, Ellis & Co. whose central office is in Indianapolis, was in town last Saturday, in the interest of his company.. The object of the company is to find gas at the nearest possible point to Chicago, and to pipe the same to that city. They wish to obtain oil and gas leases on large tracts of land in this vicinity.* They have already secured leases near Marlborough, in this county, and Lee, in White county. Mr Lovett, the president of the company has lately looked over the ground near Marlborough and Lee and thinks the lay of the ground a very favorable indication for gas.
