“No. 66, Thomas Holmden Farm, has been pumping oil and water for some time, and on Saturday¹ last the Superintendent had the tubing drawn for the purpose of cleaning the well out and drilling it deeper. During the operation they struck a large crevice in the rock, and on using the sand pump, they brought to the surface a live fish having no eyes, of a brown color and some four inches long! The fish was brought from a depth of six hundred and sixteen feet, and no doubt felt as much surprised at being introduced into this vale of tears as did those who made the introduction. This specimen of the internal production of the earth was put in water immediately after being brought to the surface but, being accustomed to a more retired life, with a mixture of salt water and oil for food and raiment, survived his changed condition of life but a few hours.”
