About half a mile from the Home, at the side of the Germantown 
Pike, a well, driven for water, gave rise to a flow of gas, | lasting some 
months. Owing to neglect or other causes, the supply has now ceased, 
evertheless, the existence of inflammable gas in the Lower Silurian 
rocks is’^of some interest. 
A short distance westward, the pike runs upon a bed of rock be- 
longing to the Clinton Group. North of the road a quarry has been 
opened, which displays both the Niagara and Cincinnati Groups, nev- 
ertheless a satisfactory section of the Clinton Group has as yet not been 
attainable.
