Tao Tilusville Courier bos the tollowing in regard to the proposed new pipe lino lrom the Butler oil Ueid to Titusviiie. It is understood that a relay station will bo established at this point. The liue will un doubtedly prove n success: This new Company, which, for the past week or two, has bten in the process ol or gunizitiou, has at length become a settled fact, and we ate now prepared to give to the public a comprehensive deccriptiuu of its character and purpose. t'l'bo capital stuck of the Company con sidts of 2,500 shares of $100 each, amount log to $250,U00. The whole amount bus been subscribed, except $13,000, and is held principally by the Tilusville refiueis The headquarters of the company will be iu ibis city.

Relay stations will be established eight miles apart. Al each ol theso a pump oj ample capacity aud power will be used iu sending forward the ail. Sullicient tanks will also be built.

Al the eud of next year thest) bogs heads will be 230 years old, und will, reck oning iuterest on tbe original price at five per ciint. bave cost 700,780,000 Pruseian thaleis. The waste of wine from evapora tion is always estimated at five per cent, pur annum; there remains consequently, only 405 bottles of the original supply.

At the end of next year the twelve hogsheads tbua replenished will bave cost 4,218,500,000 tbalera, giving an average of 244,232 tbalers per bottle. The housheads are not, however, all of tbe same value.

Notwithstanding tbo numeioiiB strikes ol the past few duys in and around Modoc, where the great bulk of the wells now drill lug in the Butler District are located, this once proilic territory has undergone a must extraord inary decline iu Its aggregate daily production.

It the salt water should ever get possesslon of the Millerstown belt the porous strain would, It la thought, become UoodOil like Modoc in a very lew days, and one-balf I lie production of these two fields being cut off, tbe wells would gradually dwiudle down to tbe onlln ary avenue pumping capacity ol other ter ritors in the northeast. This would at once bring the total daily production of tbe re glou below 20,000 barrel per day.
