The Well (which is a flowing and pumping one) has be6i» in operation fer three years, and, carelessly han dled, has produced regularly from 109 to 112 bbls. p3r week (including stoppage), at times Flouring Eighteen Ftvvrtle per day, yielding for the working interest of ikeCotupamy about §39,(D0 annually. The Oilis supe rior, its lubricating qualities commanding for it S 3 to $6 per barrel more than the oil from Oil Creek. This well, rightly handled and actively worked by the cele brated Patent Air Pump, leaves but little doubt of its being restored to its original production—from 40 to 50 barve?ss per day. 2 he other property of tbe Company consists in a va luable river tract ol fifty acres i a fee simple, adjoining the exueme borough line of Franklin, with a large coring surface facing the river, and also upon the creeks i hat urn tbrcugli the tract, thereby in creasing boring fcurlEce, and enhancing greatly its value as oil terri tory. in addition to this, it has. from its contiguity to tie county town of one of the most flourishing and ra pidly growing towns of tho State, a large surface value. in ihe product of the wells of this region, there has ever been a remarkable uniformity, which, with the late valuabte discovery of a 70 barrel well on. the Island opposite the “ffoever Farm,” and the discovery- of large and valuable producing wells all around tbe Company’s property, (sse extract below,} stamps the region as one of tbe moat valuable oil territories. The Franklin Citizen r in noticing the sew wells recently ttiuck, says: “One by Dale A Morrow, on October 12, on the Coch rane Earn, twoxoiiea below Franklin, which yielded 240 barrels at the first forty-eight hours’ pumping, is considered good for 100 barrels. John Lee has a.ao ob tained a flowing well, on the Martin Farm, just above the Hoover, and nearly opposite the Cochrane, which flows ove? £0 barrels per day. Also, Mr. Hubs, who owns a hate-on the Smith Farm, who has been pump ing 4 barrels per day at4CB feet deep, sunk his well 424 feet, and struck a well giving 40 barrels per day. Ail these strikes have been within ten days, and tbe pros pect of a number more in a abort time. ’ ’ Fifteen thousand shares have been set aside by tbe Company for the purpose of boring three more wells This region, with its oil wells so celebrated for their steadiness and durability, the great numbers of large fiowirsr and pumping wells recently discovered, the superior quality of the oil as a lubricator, and the high prices always so readily obtained, with extraordinary shipping facilities, from ihe wells being located on the margin of the river, and only two-and-a-balf tulles from ihe raiboad, unite to offer parties wishing to in vent in oil territory safely, inducements of the highest eba actor.

Horse Meek, Burning Spring, and the oil territory in Ohio, are all upon the upheaval. It Is a well-proven fact that it is necessary to strike a “fissure” in the rock in order to obtain a paying well, although in passing through the rock a snow of oil may be obtained. It is this fact which makes a volcanic upheaval of importance, as it ceases many fissures or breaks in the strata. 2d.

The following-remarks are taken from the financial columns of the Philadelphia Press offcov. 16,1564: ** The excitement in oil stocks Is still increasing, and the price of gome of the producing companies haß ma terially advanced. We notice the companies situated on the Hyde and Egbert Farm, which is considered one of the best on Oil Creek, having rapidly advanced within the last few days. This is--owing to some large wells having been lately struck on this property, one Sowing about a thousand barrels per day, aud one flowing two hundred barrels per day. The entire yield of this farm Is now between fifteen hundred ana two thousand barrels per day,-and some of the companies located cn the ‘Maple Shade,’ 4 Hyde Farm,* ‘Bock,* ’Egbert,’ and ‘Mineral, * have had their incomes doubled by the above new wells going down on thie farm, on one of which the largest oil crevice yet found is said to have been struck * 9 IV.

On the adjoining farms great activity now exists, derricks being erected axa wells drilled. Two derricks are now being erected, and the development of this property will be prosecuted vigorously. ~ The following extract is from, an editorial of the Public hedger, November 29, 1354: “ One of the mo*t remarkable features about the pre s ant oil excitement is that, while the territory known to possess oil is &o rapidly extending in area, the older settled portions, wnere most oil has been drawn off. axe daily raising in price.

Yet, all aronnd Oil Creek new areas h'ave been added of far greater extent than those before known The whole of Ghtrry Run may be said to have come into the market since the beginning of the year, and is now ccneidered the most valuable territory anywhere to be found.

[-Extract from the Author’s Preface. 1 ** With a sincere gratitude to his Christian brethren, and to his publisher* in England and America, he de sires to acknowledge the singular and entirety unex pected success which the little book has enjoyed. It has brought him kindly greetings and pleasant letters from the most distant and from some of the most obscure portions of the earth. It has gained him some of the moßfc enviable of friendships. In foreign travel it has opened his way to colleges and to cattles; he found it on the shelves of Eton boys and in the rooms of grave Fellows of the Universities. In Ireland he-was pre sented, with a curious series of imitations of Dream land, some grave and some comical; and of Scotland and Wales he owes some of his happiest recollections to inc'dents connected with the circulation of the Bal lads in several forms. To Count Taseo, the eminent poet and patriot of Northern Italy, he is indebted for the introduction of several of them to his countrymen inspirited translations; and she Comte de Montaiem ben has unwittingly connected a stanza from one of them with a hock which will be ever memorable in the history of the French Empire.’’ , NEARLY HEADY: * I»YEA AMERICANA; or v Verses of Praise and Faith, from American Poets.
