The Necessity of Water At the lagt meeting of Common Council a committee was appointed to confer with the Titusville Water Worki Company, for the purpose gome means of putting their project into practical operation previous to the laying of street pavements. This company obtained a charter from the Legislature to enable them to carry their plan iato execution.

The particulars of the enterprise were first get forth to the public, and they made an attempt to raise the amount ol money required for the purpose, about $40,000. This effort, however, proved unsuccessful, the subscriptions to stock falling short about fifteen or twenty thousand dollars, and the scheme was consequently aban doned. The object of the Common Council ig now to aaaiat the company to tbe extent which may be required for immediately carrying out their original design. We have on several occasions pointed out the extreme danger to health of the artesian well system, now at present tmi- versally adopted throughout the oity. Hundreds of walls are sunk in tbe tame gravel bed, and in close contiguity to cesspools and vaults, and by degrees they have in geveral fiaseg become BO contaminated with the sewage as to Tender the water unfit for drinking purposes.

The contamination of wells from this source ig very seldom perceptible, bnt it ig none the leas unhealthy and dangerous. Water may be clear, limpid and inodorous, and to every appearnnao healthy, and yet contain the germs of disease contracted from neighboring vaults or from vaults at a comparatively remote distance. We are not alarinifitp, bat in each a condition of affiirg very few of onr wells can be gaid with certainty to be entirely free from sewage contamination, and artificial filtration is resorted to by many to obtain pure drinking water. If snob, is now the fact, how much more serious will it become as our city in age and population. The gravel deposit which contains this water testa beneath the bed of Oil Creek at a distance of between 16and33 feet, all over this valley, and the water must necessarily be one body.

What therefore contaminates one part, necessarily contaminates the whole. As to filtration, it ig a conceded fact that no amount of mechanical nitration can ever purify sewage water, or rid it altogether of sewage contamination without chemical agency, although it may destroy the odor render it oolprless. The immense number of vaults which are sunk into this same gravel bed will at once convince the most skeptical of tbe extreme danger to which we are exposed. The only possible remedy for the evil at the earliest practical moment to establish water works and a proper system of sewerage. Some of the sewert are already under contract, and the paving of Frankin street has already been awarded.

This, therefore, is the important time to push forward the water works project, for the mains should be laid before the or else in the future great expense will be incurred by taking np and relay- ng pavements for this purpose. The Water Works Company would gladly surrender their charter to the city, if the authorities would undertake to carry on the enterprise and manage it as a municipal institution. Or the O'ty would advance the mm necessary to secure the inauguration of the water works, say by the issue- of in city bonds, which should be in the form of a loan on account of annual rental to the city for fire plugs and other public uses, then this important project could be immediately inaugurated. A.3 a question of economy the investment would scarcely exceed what is demanded rom year to year in the way of temporary reservoirs fo.r the use of fire apparatus; but when we look at the question as bearing upon the public health and general utility it would seem as if there could not be two opinions as to tbe advisability of such a course. No city can be considered a desirable pi ice at residence without a constant pnpply of pure and healthy water, and the rapidity of our growth taken into account with the causes which render it )ecaliarly important this enterprise should now be pui bed forward, would certainly astify the Common Cenncil in lending it helping hand at this critical juncture.

Ttie special committee appointed by the Council with reference to this subject, yes- tetday had a conference with the officers of the Water Works Company, and made a vif.it of inspection to tbe grounds selected the company ou the south side of tbe oreek, for the sources of their supply and erection of works. The committee will jtobably make their report at lht next egnlar meeting of the Board. tre-h Oil -ews. --The Parker's Landing district presents more activity in the way of oil developments than any other section of country. --The Grass Fiat" territory, across river from Foxbnrg, find in the vicinity of the mouth of Clarion River, ii attracting the attention of operators, and numerous wells have been started in that ocality.

BOILEB ENCRUSTATIONS AMD TRB FIBB TEST OF OIL. The following were among tbe valuable papers read before tbe American Association at Indianapolis, Anguet Slat, snd whioh will prove of great interest to oil men. The one is on boiler in or istetions, and the other on a new method of testing petroleum.

BTKAX VOILER WATttHS AND IKCBU8TA T'ONS. "All natural waters contain in solution or suspension more or lees mineral matter and vegetable matter. This consists principally of the corbonates of lime, magnesia and iron (held in solution by free carbonic acid,) sulphates of lime and magnesia, chlorides of calcium, sodium and magnesium, and undissolved clay, sand and vegetable matter, held in saspen sion. Spring and well waters contain a larger amount in solution than o. The latter hold more in suspension.

Our American rivers contain from 2 to 10 grains in solution, and varying quantity suspension generally exceeding 10 grains. Well and spring waters contain but little in suspension, but a quantity of the dissolved (alts varying from 10 to 050 Thane latter cause what is generally known aa hardness. When these waters are boiled tbe carbonic acid is driven off, and the carbonates of tbe alkaline earth deprived of thi-ir solvsnt are precipitated iu a finely crystalline form, whioh tenaciously adheres to whatever it may fall upon. Sulphate of lime ie only soluble in five hundred parts of water, and precipitated by gnperaatoration. The more golnable sulphates and chlorides are alao precipitated by supersaturation after further evaporatiou.

Tbe suspended matter gradually and forms additional increment to the deposit. This gradually accumulating grows hard and tough like porcelain, and may attain an unlimited thickness. The evil effaota of scale are due to the faot that it is relatively a nonconductor of heat. Its conducting power compared with that of iron IB as 1 to 37 This known, it is readily appreciated that more innl ig required to beat water through scale aud iron than, through iron alone- It been demonstrated that a scale 1-16 of an inch thiok requires the extra expenditure of 15 per cent, more fuel. AH tbu scale thickens the ratio increases-thug when it ig thick, 60 per cent, horse powkr is required; at )-mob, 100 per and so oue.

To ateam to a working presnore of 90 pounds the water must, be heated to 320 Fubr. This may be done through a 4 '-mcb iron shell by heating the exterual surface to about 825 If a -inch shell the boiler must be heated to almost a low, red heat. The higher the temperature at which iron is heptthemorerapidly it oxidizes, and at any temperature above GOO 3 it soon becomes granular and brittle from carbouizition or conversion into the s'ate ot iron. "Weakness of boiler thus produced predisposes to plohion-, expensive repairs ns- oess ry. "After detailing several processes for the removal and prevention of scale by chemical means operating inside the boil- era, the writer preferred the following: this method tbe tannate of soda is the essential clement.

This may be cheaply prepared, and is attainable generally. This agent being introduced into the boiler at Tegular in sufficient quantity, according to the hardnets of the water, i- rapidly dissolved, and, without foaming or notion on tbe iron, completely does the desired work. The reaction ia as follows: The Unniu acid leaves tbe soda and combines with the lime of the carbonates to form taonale of lime, whioh is precipitated in a liKhr, ftooultmt, amorphous form, which does not subside in bailer at all, hut floats in the currents of ebullition till it fiuds its way to the mud-receiver, where, as there is little or no current, it la deposited HS mushy sediment, which may be readily blown out from, time to time. The sulphate of lime is decomposed by the carbonate of soda formed by the first reaction, soluble sulphate of soda and carbonate of lime biding formed. The latter converted into tannate of lime by iresh portions of the tannate of soda The pre-existing scale is more slowly disintegrated, and the resulting tannate of lime voided aa before described The presence of the alkali prevents all action of the acid on tbe iron.

Eiteunive practical trial of this method has demonstrated its utility in xll kinds of and its perfect efficacy, safety, economy, ease of application, and general adaptability, will commend it for general use. Tinder Weyde mentioned that the New York Central Railroad had caused him to make an analjsie of the vn- riona waters in uae upon their mad with reference to their in locomotive lilers He found many waters much worse than and recommends that thoee most objectionable should never be used except in nf extreme need and.wture us he recommended that certain "mcilicme-i" should be added to the waters The re- salt was exceedingly satisfactory. Mr. Warren snggested the use of superheated steam as a mechanical means for tearing away the incrustations; but admitted that to get the ateam superheated, the water wonld be so heated as to make the deposits." TESTING PKTROLEDJI. 'Praf Vander Weyde'a new test for the adulterations of kerosene seems to be of mmndiate practical value.

This test for petroleum is founded on the fact that all vapors given off by petroleum are combustible, and that if any kerosene or other preparation from petroleum gives off a vnpor st the accepted standard temperature, of it is not ceresiary to try whether it will burn, bnt fuffioient to collect it in a proper vessel, by vbich we the additional advantage that we may measure the quantity of the vapor, while none of it can be lost by air currents incidentally pas-ing over the surf-ice of tbe liquid. He takes, therefore, a glass tube cloned at one cud and open at the other, hud fills it wilh the petroleum to be tested, then nlnmng tbe open en'l iv kh Uie fiugei, inverts it in a vesael with wnter warm-d to by mixing hot and cold water, and i i at, that temperature by ooon-i mallv adding hot water. It now any vapor is apparent, it will collect in the closed upper fatt of rhe displaoiug the oil downward. The amount of this gas will be a comparative tent of tbe different quantities r.f oil. and for this purpose tbe tube may be graduated in order to measure the amount nf v.ilnabl* liquid preicot ID thu stune.

This method in not sutJHCt to th- dif-crepincies fonud in the n-utl way of Lesting, in wbioh an impure rind dangerous quality nf oil may be to appear bettt-r thiin it is by slow aud heating, and which if performed in slight draft of air will hnve the vapors carried off ag (toon as developed, so that it becomes impossible to ignite them. Thiii new method gives freedom from the danger of using fire, moie accuracy, a worthy means of measuremei and no chance fur deception. This method of testing oil would certainly show tbe exact temperature at whioh any sample of oil would begin to vaporize, or, in other words, the fltehing point of the oil, bnt it wonld not deier- mine the temperature at which it would ignite, which, in reality, is the fire test of refined oil. Oil which stands one hundred and ten degrees of fire test, will begir. to vaporize at a much lower temperature.

The reason for this is plain. Tbe vapor at first ia given off so slowly tbat it has not opportunity to mix in tbe proper proportion with the atmospheric air to admit of ignition, and the benziue bjing mixed throughout the oil, hns not yet bad imparted to it a sufficient degree of beat to enable it to to the surface in a volume capable of iguitiug the whole mass. It therefore merely flashes. If all oil which Sashed at 00 degrees would stand 110 fire test this new method might, with some degree cf accuracy, determine the fire test by the point of bnt there is very greatdi-crepauoy indifferent samples of oil in this respect One sample which ignites at 110 degrees will begin to va- porice at 00 inr! another will not flash at all until the point of ignition reached; snd this is precisely the reason why tbe new test wonld prove unsatisfactory. Some oils are mixed menhsnically.

The one being lighter in gravity, and containing mote tontine than other, form a strata on the top, while the heavier oil rests on the bottom of the veutl containing it. Lat samples be taken from this vessel at various times, and the fire test will vary in proportion to the amount! of heavy and light oils contained in the samples, it being almost an impossibility to draw two samples whioh will stand the same test. Some of the oil might etond 110 fire teat, bnt nearly all of it would begin to vaporise much below that point. The goverument has very wisely made the igniting point of oil at 110 degrees the legal tost, because oil whioh will only flash and not ignite at lower temperatures cannot be considered dangerous. The present method of teat- ing oil has ita disadvantages, and ig vsry objectionable in many In Eog land the scientific world have been greatly exercised for the past few in an endeavour to improve upon it, and have quite lately adopted the closed system of testing, which they suppose to be more accurate.

We ui-ed this gfgtem yearn ago, and finally abandoned it as increasing rather than deminiahing the difficulties. Oil ia a slow conductor of caloric, and while bmng heated ia of different temperatures all the way through the mass. Ic is alao exceedingly fickle where several samples of rafined oil of different grwitiea ate mixed. Tbe apparatus used for testing ig also subject to vary from changes in atmosphere, a damp and a dry day giving altogether different results. Tbe least draft of air passing through the room, or near the vaporising cup, will vary the test according to tho strength of the draft It not infrequently happens, therefore, that oil which passes the inspector's hands at the refinery, will be rejected by another inspector after being shipped to a distance, wbioh is a groat source of annoyance and expense.

It is altogether prubabls that some new and more accurate method may be devised whioh will answer every requirement. From Stand Off City. STAND OFF CITY, August 81,1871. EDITORS HERALD have a word to say in behalf of myself and friends in this place, and if yon have time and space please give the following publicity: wish it emphatically understood that Stand Off City is not entirely Democratic, and, consequently, not wholly uneducated and unenlightened. Oi 1-ite, Republicanism haa been ateadily gaining ground, and the demand for the HEHLS is correspondingly greater, and we wish yon would send a supply, so that we can enjoy a daily without patronizing a paper we cannot "awallow." It ia almost impoasi ble to get the HERALD, and it ought not to be ao, for now, before tbe fall we should scatter good sound Republican seed, and that without stint, and we will, no doubt, when the result of the election ia known, see that we have sown on good ground, and that we shall reap the fruits which we have the promUe of.

Business here is rather dull, but the prospect ia that the place will "hold ita own" now for some time. Several new wells are being drilled, and we are living in hopes of more oil and better times. The only item of news worth communicating is the Methodist Bush meeting, whioh has been in progress now over a week, and is a decided success, the meetings being well attended, tbe order good, and tbe powerful wordo of Mr. Wingay are beginning to have their effect on the community.

Idltoa Homing Hsrald: Booking over the columns of your popular piper yesterday I observed a local notice signed "Horseman," asking information concerning certain diseases.

The case narrated appears to us to be one purely of acute softening of the substance of the spinal chord, softening, the result of an scute congested and in iimed condition of the oord--a disease whioh has been called by some authors Xyehtu. There la no disease, the nature of which is more clear than if we keep in mind the structure and functions of the spinal chord and remember the office of the eerebeo spinal and sympathetic system of nerves; the former controlling sensations and voluntary motions, and tbe latter presiding over the involuntary or vital fnnocions. The ease diffors from the majority of analagons ones in several particulars, especially in the sudden occurrence of paralysis. It is rue to witness this symptom at the outset of the affliction. Usually the animal begins to walk stiffly and to experience diffioulty in bending at tbe loins.

Them is often evidence of pain in this region, especially when direct pressure is made on tbe epmous process the vertebrae immediately above the seat of the disease. After a period averaging from two to ten. days the animal becomes par- apligio, namely, the posterior extremities become completely paralyzed. Iu the worst cases the animal ig unable to void or retain urine and faeces voluntarily, and the posterior extremities often mortify. It ia not to be uudewtoud tht nuh oasts always follow the oourse indicated.

Doubtless, in many the stage of congestion is securely passed, and the structure of the cord is not involved to any extent. Were time allowed, in many of these oases, by prompt and energetic treatment tho animal would gradually recover, and in the course of time regain to a considerable ex, tent the lost power. When, however- there is loss of control over the bladder and rectum the case innst be looked upon as so serious to warrant, in almost every case, tha destruction of the animal. R.

To say that it well-kept, and that it gives the moat complete Katie- faction to its thousands of guests, wonld be only repeating whar everybody knows. AJ the house was originally constructed, it lacked many and great conveniences, and hundreds were turned away who sought for lodgings. But Mr.
