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.

We must refer in terms of eulogy to the high tone and
varied excellences of Harper'e Magazine —a journal with
a monthly circulation of about 170,000 copies—in whose
pages are to be found some of the choicest light and gen
eral reading of the day. We speak of this work as an
evidence of the American people: and the popularity it has
acquired is merited. Eacn number contains fully 144 pa
ges of reading matter, appropriately illustrated with wood
cuts; and it combines in itself the racy monthly and the
more philosophical quarterly, blended with the best fea
tures of the daily journal. It has great power in the dis
semination of a love of pore literature. —TRUBXEK'S

CELEBRATED HORSE AND CATTLE
POWDERS.
THESE Powders have profd, after a trial of several
years, to be superior to any preparation of the kind
in use. The cbtei superiority of these powders arises
from the fact that they are composed of medicine* that
have Laxative, Tonic and Purifying properties. The
laxative ejects crudities from the stomach and intestines
the tonic gives strength to the sy-tcm of the Horse, and
the purifying medicines contatned in th<-tn clean re the
blood, and lay the foundation for a vigorous and healthy
circulation. The use of theui improves the wind, strength
en* the appetite and gives the horse a fine, smooth and glos
sy skin—thus improving the appearance, vigor and si.ir
it "f this noble animal.
These powders are not intended, as most powders are
to bloat the animal, so as to. give bim the appearance of
being fat when not really so—but to remove the disease
and promote his general health.
These, powder* will strengthen the stomach and inter
tine*. cleanse them from offensive matter, and bring them
to a healthy state. Tbcy arc a sure prevention of Lung
Fever, and a certain remedy for all disease* incident to
the Horse, as Glanders, Yellow Water, Distempers, Foun
der, Heaves, Havering, Coughs, Fevers Lo it o. Appetite
and \ ita l Energy, Ac.—These powders, if used two or
three times a week, through the winter and spring, your
horse* will never get the Lung Fever Coric or BoMs. A
few doses of these powders will remove the worst cough,
on cny horse. Were owner* of horses to feed a few of
these powders every year, they might save the ilr of
many valuable horses.
V MILCH COWS.
The properties this powder possesses in increasing
; the quantity of milk in cows, gives it au importance and
value which should place it in the hands of every person
keeping a cow. Tn fattening cattie, it gives them an ap
j petite, loosens their hide, and makes them thrive much
i faster,
HOGS.
In all diseases of swine, as coughs, ulcers in the lungs
and liver, Ac., by putting from half a paper to a paper of
: these powders in a barrel of swill, the above diseases can
| be cured or entirely prevented. By using these powders
i the hog cholera can be prevented.

TESTIMONIALS,
from some of our Eminent Clergymen.
HARBISDI.'RG, Feb. Bth, 1864.
C. A. 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. Presbyterian Church.
