RAMSDKLI., Oil City, Pa. The property of this Company consists of 200 acres of (and, in fee simple, sitnated on the west side of the Alle gheny river, a short distance above 'he month of Scrub Grass Creek, in Scrub Grass Township, Venango county, Pa. It has a frontage along the river of one mile, wilh good boring surface for the whole distance. Two good oil wells are now in operntion on the east side of the river, immediately opposite the property of the Co. The following in regard to an adjoining tract, isHaken from on editorial in the Philadelphia Price Current, or December 17: _ , "The geological relation of this property to Oil Creek, is such that the oil-bearing strata, which supply the v.clla on the Middle Section of Oil Creek (from the Washington McClintock Farm on the north to the Buchanan on the South) must pass under this property: the range of the strata certainly bringing the two localities into this mu tu l relation. Other data, obtained from an investigate on of the conformation of the ground, and the umlerlyi ng rocks, lead to the same conclusion, via: that the ma iu bolt of oil, which extends down from the north-northea -t and supplies the wells on the Washington, McClintocl ~ Egbert, Stone, Tar, and Buchanan Farms, sweeps dowi I still farther on the same south southwest direction, cor - responding with and controlled by the inclination of tfct strata, and underlies this property. It is well ascertain ed by the testimony of aged and respectable residents that the Indians, years ago, gathered oil from the surface of the ravines on this property and used it for rheumatic af fections. In later times the teamsters of Bullion Iron F urnaoe, gathered and used the oil for the pusposc of applying it to galls and bruises on their horses. Oils foi years was seen to exude at a number of places; among others, at the root of an old stump on the bank of the Allegheny river, and in the ravine alluded to. A few years ago, the then owners of the tract, with one or two of their neighbors, bored a well, a few feet above the old stump. The first vein of oil was struck at the depth of 286 feet, and the second at 160 feet: an experien ced mau from Oil Creek was employed to tube the well, which produced a stream of oil three quarters of an Inch in diameter. The owners of the well, not satisfied with its production, pulled out the chamber, and drilled some feet deeper, when they strnck salt water in largo quantities and of great strength. Believing that the man ufacture of salt wouid. at the time, yield them a better profit, they arranged their seed bags in the well, so as to enable them to exolude the oil and pump the salt water. Still oil was pumped along with the water, in such quan tities as to gather upon the top of the water-tanks, from whence it was collected, barreled and sold.". There is every reason, therefore, to believe that tho pro perty of the Company is rich in its supplies of oil. The inclination of the Strata proves, conclusively, fhat those supplies of oil on Oil Creek have a higher level than the oil-bearing rocks on this property; and that, consequently, the supply will be more permanent than that of Oil Creek itself. The large extent of boring territory, equal to that, of half a dot en companies on Oil Creek, a boat-landing on the Farm, with the advantage of a navigable stream for the transportation of oil, and the certainty of the exis tence of large quantities of coal upon tho tract, makes tlat. property of incalculable value. The Company are about preparing to sink several weO*. and confidently expect the early development of oil iu paying quantities. The plan of organization adopted by the Company com mends itself to public approval, from the fact that it places no fictitious value upon its stock, but confines tho sale of shares strictly to their par value.

BANNVAJIT— Dear Sir ; I have used Brown's Bronchial Troches, Wistars Lorenge* and other prepara tions for boarscness a aud Throat Troubles, and in compar ison with them all, can cheerfully commend your own as a most admirable specific for public speakers and singers, in cases of Hoarseness, coughs and colds I have found them serving in time of need most effectually. To C. A. BAN.NVART— Dear Sir ; In the habit of speak ing very frequently, and in places where the vocal organs are T ery much taxed, I have found the need of some gen tle expectorant, and that want has been supplied in your excellent Troches. I consider them very far superior to any Loienges that I have ever used, in removing speedi ly that huskiness of the voice arising from its too frequent use, and impairing the effectiveness of the delivery of public addresses. Yours, Ae., JNO. WALKER JACKSON, Pastor of the Locust Street Methodist Church. To C. A. BANNVART— Dear Sir: —Having used your' Troches, I am free to say they are the best I have ever tried, and take great pleasure in recommending them to all persons afflicted with soar throat or huskiness of voice arising from public speaking or singing. Yours, Ac., G. G. RAKESTRAW, Pa*tor of Ridge Areuue Methodist Church. I agree with Mr. Robinson as to the value of Bannvart's Troches. W. C. CATTELL, Late Pastor of the O. S.
