TWO SQUARE MILES, known as the Cotter Farm.
situate on the Philadelphia and J Erie Railroad, one
and a half miles west of Garland Station, la Warren
county, Pennsylvania, within eighteen hours’ ride of
Philadelphia; and TWO SQUARE MILES on the North.
Ealmon Creek, Forest county, Pennsylvania, just
over the border of Venango county. These lands are
acknowledged by oilmen, geologists, etc., to be In the
very centre of the great oil region.
Developments are rapidly progressing In all direc
tions around the lands of the company,and within two
miles oil Is being abundantly obtained. The company
is already receiving a revenue equal to an ordinary
producing well from their saw mill and timber. They
have lumber sufficient to keep their mills running for
fifteen years. On the property on Salmon Creek, Fo
rest county, there are also large deposits of Bituminous
Coal, which can be worked and will increase the pro
fits of the company very materially. The Cotter Farm
is situate about ten miles north of the celebrated Tide
oute, on the Allegheny river, which was the first
spot where wells were drilled and oil obtained.
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS is approprlatsd as a
‘ • working capital, ’ ’ and the work of development is
being vigorously pushed forward. Engines are already
on the ground, and five wells are to be immediately
sunk on the properly, by the most experienced hands
the region can produce, under competent superinten
dence. No labor or necessary expense will bo spared
in makingthis a “dividend-paying company," at the
earliest possible moment, and alto in making it one of
the best companies in tha market.
This company have decHied to purchase small inte-
rests in producing wells, for the purpose of making it
a “dividend-paying company" at the commencement,
as many others have, and, therefore, have precluded
all possibility of a decrease of the value of their stock
from a partial or total cessation of the production of
the' wells, as so often occurs by the dose proximity of
neighboring companies in their operations.
They invite all who desire investing in Oil Compa
nies with a really solid basis, to call at thelroffice and
examine prospeotUßes, draughts, etc.
All orders through the Philadelphia Board of Brokers
or Bankers, throughout the State, will receive prompt
attention.

The valuable Oil territory of this Company is located -
on the Eanawhariyer, Gilmore county. West Virginia,
some distance above Its confluence with the Ohio at
Parkersburg (the terminus of the Baltimore and Ohio -
Railroad), and lies directly neon and is a direction
across the great *‘Oil Belt M of this region (as may he
seen upon the map), in the iipmediate vicinity of the
wonderful “Burning Springs,” now regarded as a
sure indication of the presence of oil, fro m the fact that
it 1b the oil gas that rises to the emf&ce and bums upon
the water. This property consists of an area of 1,18-5
acres of magnificent oil and mineral lands, of which the
Company owns an undivided-half interest in fee sim
ple, extending miles on the Kanawha river, which
is navigable to the Ohio. Other streams, tributaries of
the Kanawha, traverse this tract, presenting along their
margins every surface indication of a rich yield of oil.
The Company holds the right to putdown wells ati over
this extensive boring surface, and oil has already bean
discovered on this property, near the river, at the depth
of 36 feet. TliMjtaking of two wells to the depth of 800
feet, if necessam was provided for in the purchase of
the land, all of which is paid for without touching the
working or reserved capital of the Company. In addi
tion to this, the Company owns an important interest
(also paid for) in a well located within 400 yards of the
great-Lewellya well, which has flawed 2,500 barrels per
day, and is directly among the celebrated Bathbone
group (see map). These are, it is said, the greatest pro
ducing wells In the country. The former owners of
this well were forced to abandon it on the breaking out
of the rebellion, but the Company has now made ar-~~
r&ngements to reopen and tube it, when a large yield ot
oil may reasonably be expected from this source alone.
In addition to the above described properties, the Com
pany owns in fee simple some 400 acres of mineral lands
in Pennsylvania. This Company is most fortunate in
poe* es« ing every facility for rapidly developing the oil,
having on its own property both timber and coal In
gTeat abundance, end in also having the resident Su
fierintendent of the works, Hr. T. G. Farnsworth,
aggely interested as a stockholder. The manage
ment being in the hands of practical men, of indomi
table energy and perseverance, the stockholders may
reasonably expect *oon to find their shares ranking
with the beet dividend pitying stocks on the market;
for, being out of debt, and having a large working
capital, the holders of stock in this Company take no
risk of being called upon for additional means to cany
on the operations of the Company, but on the contrary,
as soon as oil shall be obtained in suSLsient Quantities,
a dividend on the capital stock will be declared. The
remaining portion of the' 20,000 shares reserved stock
only is now being sold for additional working capital,
at the subscription price of two dollars par share.' It

All the world has accepted Mrs. Llrriper as One of the
most genial and individual of those sketches ef charac
ter m which Mr. Dickens blends humor and pathos, the
trnesfipoetry of life with the most whimsical of its ex
ternal accidents. She is an angel who lets lodgings, a
pathetio heroine who talk’s comically and makes u»
laugh, except when now and then, by a chance turn of
Phrase, we see to the depth of the simple love and
charltyin her puie soul.
From the London Review, Dec. 3.
Mr. Dickens has thoroughly identified himself Witte
the merry yet tender and thoughtful Christmas season.
* * * Thirty years of authorship have, as yet
failed to exhaust the power, the beauty, and the
creativenees of Mr. Dickens* genius. It: has still the
fteßhness of youth, combined with the maturer know
ledge of advancing life.
