PROCEEDINGS OF CITY COITNCELS.—OOIIII
- met statedly on Tuesday evening last:
In Select CbunciL—Mr. Zahn presented
the following communication from the
Mayor which was read, and also read in
Common Council:
MAYOB'S OFFICE,
Lancaster, March 7th, 1865.}
lb the Select and COMMCM Cbuncite:
GENTLEMEN: I cannot too strongly urge
upon your attention the absolute necessity
of the most rigid economy in the expendi
tures of the Corporation during the present
fiscal year, and whilst the war in which the
country is still engaged continues. Unless
this is done, it can be foreseen, with uner
ring certainty, that one or two things will
inevitably follow: Either the hitherto un
tarnished credit of the city will be serious
ly impaired, or we must resort to additional
taxation to make up the deficiency. In
either aspect of the case such an alternative
is to be deprecated, and every possible
effort should, be egerted, in the way of re
trenchment, to avoid the contingency.
The taxation, for war purposes, present
and prospective, to which the people are
now looking iiirward with serious and well
founded apprehension, must necessarily
bear with great severity upon fall classes of
our population, and it therefore behooves
those who are entrusted with the disburse
ment of the finances of the Corporation to
see to it in time that no detriment shall ac
crue from hasty or inconsiderate legislation,
or any unnecessary expenditures of the
public funds. The taxation for city pur
poses is now, and has been for the last eight
or ten years, quite high enough for all neces
sary and legitimate purposes, and should
not be increased at a time when the burthens
imposed by the war, directly and indirect
ly, have become so onerous and oppressive.
The credit of the city must be maintained
at7all hazards and under all circumstances,
and these suggestions are respectfully made
at the commencement of the present fiscal
year, so that you, gentlement, on whom
devolves the entire legislative responsibility,
may, in your enlightened judgment, throw
the necessary safe-guards around the Treas
ury, and keep the expenditures within
proper bounds. There is serious danger
looming up before us in the near future,
and you will pardon me for this intrusion
of my opinions and advice upon your
deliberations.
I have only to add that I shall endeavor
to discharge my duty honestly and faith
fully in the present crisis of affairs; but the
hands of the Executive are in a great melts
urepowerless, without the cordial co-opera
tion of Councils.
GEO. SANDERSON
Mr. Zahm, chairman of the Finance
Committee, presented the annual report
of that body of the estimated receipts and
expenditures for the present year, which
was read, and, on motion, adopted.
In Common Council.—The report was laid
on the table until next meeting, with a de
sire that the report be published for the in
formation of the members.
The report is as follows:
To the ,Select and Common Councils of the
Cty of Lancaster
In discharge of a duty imposed upon the
Committee of Finance and Accounts of your
bodies,. they respectfully submit for con
sideration and action the accompanying es
timates of receipts and expenditures of the
corporation for the present fiscal year; and
they take pleasure in the reflection, that so
for as their information extends, the gov
ernment of the city of Lancaster is as eco
nomically and judiciously administered as
that of any other city in the Union of simi
lar size and population; that the finances
of the city are in a healthy condition, its
credit unimpaired, and all the demands
upon its treasury paid atsight ; and indulge
the hope that it will be the constant aim of
ail ill authority to perpetuate so desirable a
state of things.
Tice estimates referred to, are based upon
an assumed taxation of 90 cents per $lOO
valuation, which is the same tiv.t has been
levied for municipal purposes 35r the past
few years. The committee, in view of the
burdens resting upon the people, in the
••hape of bounty and other taxes, with the
high rate of living, growing out of the ca
lamitous civil war in which the country is
involved, have felt disinclined to any in
crease of the rate, however necessary such
a measure would be to realize expectations
of liberal appropriations for objects, regard
ed as conducive to the interests and welfare
of the citizens.
'Without a resort to increased taxation,
most of the present appropriations of neces
sity must be abridged in comparison with
corresponding ones of other years ; and in
that connection the committee reluctantly
are constrained to recommend, that for the
present year but one hal fof the customary
allowance to the Fire Department be grain
ed ; feeling assured that the good sense of
the gentlemen composing the several com
panies, that for many •Vears•received, when
in more needy circumstances, the fostering
care of the Corporation, will rightly divine
the reason for and cheerfully acquiesce in
the act.
In explanation of the items of appropria
tion, the Committee think proper to remark,
that nearly aIL are indispensable to the
working of the City government, and their
amounts arc such as years of experience
have shown to be requisite. The Street ap
propriation is unavoidably reduced to
rather a meagre stun by the necessary pre
cedence of the others which cannot lie dis
pensed with, with perhaps the 13th item as
the only exception. The amount of that
item, if Councils should so determine, very
probably might be transferred to the Street
appropriation, without detriment to the
public interests.
The temporary loans payable in the ap
propriation bill were created in 186-1. $l,-
939.4-1 of the amount was applied under au
thority of Councils to the cost and erection
of one of K raatz's improved turbine water
wheels and incidental labor and material at
the Water works on the Conestoga. The
p..wer of this wheel is much greater than
that of the old under-shot one it displaced,
and its performance so far appears to justify
the confidence that prompted the introduc
tion; iu its superiority to the old wheel, on
the score of effect and economy. $2,037.90
of the loan was expended on the water
works, after the appropriation therefor was
exhauslecl, in consequence of the unusually
long draught of the summer and autumn,
that rendered the employment of the steam
engine necessary for pumping, at a cost
alone for coal, as fuel, of over $l,BOO, and
the many leaks that occurred on the line of
the main pipes between the water house
and the reservoirs, and at other places. $l5O
thereof wit , : appropriated extra to streets,
and the remaining sum was required and
used to meet the increase in salaries of some
of the city officers and pay of watchmen,
allowed liv Councils towards the close o
the year, after the appropriations wet.;
and for an addition to the contingen
fund.
The salaries provided in the bill, are the
sawn• that were paid last year under fixed
ordinances and resolutions to most of the
qiilnals, and also under temporary arrange
ment to the following named, whose allow
ances accordingly for the year will be as
;innexed, payable monthly: High Consta
ble, $350; each of the tour City Constables,
$275 ; Street Commissioner, $350; Superin
tendent ,if Water Works, $600; Engineer
and pumper at Water)Vorks,ssoo; Market
Master, $200; and Keeper of the City Lock
up, $72.
The estimated receipts are as follows:
Tax of 00 cents per $lOO on prop
erty valuation of $3,500,000 $31,500.00
Water rents for duplicateoflB6s... 10,650.00

fault of`payment
Addition to water rent duplicate..
Refunded quota from Lancaster
County for bridges and road
damages
Balance in the Treasury at the
beginning pf the year
$47,721.41
And the expenditures are recommended
to be as follows :

tion Loans. $20,443 72
2. To pay temporary loans and . _ .
interest to maturity,
3. To pay for grading, paving
and .reparing of streets 1,000 00

Of which loans, your committee,
as " Commissionersofthesink

amount bearing six per cent.
• interest
Leaving the debt 0utAtanding.....5290,244 96
The accumulation of the sinking fund in
the last year was $4,085, extinguishing that
much of the city debt.
In conclusion, your committee recom
mend the adoption of the following resolu
.tions in connection with their report:
Resolved, 'By the Select and Common
Councils of the City of Lancaster, that the
city tax for the present fiscal year be as
sessed at the rate of 90 cents per $lOO on all
property made taxable by law for city , pur
poses—namely, 60 cents of the rate for in
terest, and 30 cents for other objects.
Resolved, That the taxes and other re
ceipts into the treasury during the year be
applied to the objects and in the amounts
stated in the foregoing report, and to none
other, unless Councils should hereafter dif
ferently direct.
GODFRIED ZARA
ROBT. H. LONG,
JACOB L. FREY,
Committee
Lancaster, March 6,.1865
In JS'elect Council—Mr. Zalun offered a
resolution fixing the rate of taxation 90
cents per $lOO valuation, being the same,
substantially, as the one embraced in the
Report of the Finance Committee, which
resolution was adopted. Common Council
concurred. Also a resolution authorizing
the Mayor to borrow any sum of money,
not exceeding $l,OOO, that may be needed,
to meet any deficiency in appropriations of
last year, for payment of which provision
is made in appropriation bill presented by
the Finance Committee, which w?Ls adopted.
Common Council concurred.
Mr. Zahm also presented a supplemental
ordinance in relation to water rents and
sprinkling of streets, which was read three
times, and passed upon a suspension of the
rules.
The ordinance increases the rent to bar
bets, .breweries, slaughter-houses and livery
stables; charges photographers, class No.
1, $l5 per annum ; class No. 2, $9. It limits
the use of pave washes from April 1 to No
vember 1, for sprinkling streets, before 7
o'clock in the morning and after 6 o'clock
in the evening, and then not exceeding 30
minutes at a time, under a penalty of $2
for each offence.
In Common Council read once, and laid
on the table until the next meeting, under
the rules. Adjourned.
A PRETTY PARTY !—The Examiner of last
week has an article on the corruption of
the County Prison officials, from which we
make the following extract. The people of
Lancaster county have a pretty set efrulers,
truly :
" Mr. lfousekeeper deserves the thanks
of the people for eliding the contest and de
feating the schemes of a desprate and corrupt
combination of the most dangerous men in
our community. Lying, perjury and
bribery are winked at, encouraged and re
lied on for carrying out the most infamous
schemes for making money. If one half the
transactions could be exposed to the people
Lancaster county would be made too hot for
them, and they would be driven beyond its
borders. Yet, men of intelligence and re
spetability, oven some who claim to be
moral Censors for the public, hear these
corruptions talked about, on our streets
daily, but heed them not.
DEATH OF DR. CHAS. I lERBST.-Dr. Chas.
Herbst, one of the very oldest and richest
citizens of this city, died on Tuesday, at the

caster liar in the year 1512. Ile soon after,
however, left the legal profession, and for
many years was a successful practitioner
of medicine. Of late years, however, - he
had given up the practice entirely. lle

AN AFFLICTED MAN DRAFTED-WILL.
HE at: HELD eon SEavick?—Very many
:ire the ills to which human flesh is heir,
and it is surprising how the afflictions of
mortals are developed by the impending
draft. Men who have all their lives been
regarded as models of manly perfection,
and looked upon as the picture of robust
health, are suddenly found to be afflicted
with more diseases than ever racked the
form of old Job. As it is not unlikely that
the rigors of conscription will be felt in some
of the districts even of this loyal county, we
commend the following specimen of an
affidavit to any afflicted mortal who may
be searching his frame to disOover causes
for exemption. We think we are safe in
saying that any one having all the ailments
summed up and sworn to in the following
affidavit, which we find in the Evening
Record published at Reading, would not be
held for service. The Record says it is an
exact copy of an original document:
Berks couurf ll
Personally appeared before the subscriber
one of the Aldermen in and for the City of
Reading,-, of Bethel township, Berks
county, who being duly sworn deposeth and
saith ; That he has been lately drafted
and claims exemption on the following
grounds : That he has Liver Complaint
and cannot sl,ip at night ; has falling tits,
and vertigo, in the head ; that he ruptured
the patella ot his right knee which slips when
walking ; that the toes of his left foot were
frozen and had to be amputated; has confirm
ed consumption of the lungs and night
sweats ; has dyspepsia and cannot eat strong
victuals; has had chronic diarrhwa tor seven
teen years next May ; has lost all his teeth
except the left eye tooth on the upper jaw
and the stomach tooth on the lower jaw ; has
a disease in both ears called otorrhcea, is
very near sighted ; has rheumatism in his
hips and shoulders; is much afflicted with
the gravel and has been doctoring many
years for the piles ; has polyxpi of the nose
so that lie cannot breathe freely. Besides
the above lie is the principal support of his
grand-mother who is bed ridden 'in Ger

AN ENGLISH RECIPE FOR THE CURE OF
HYDROPHOBIA.—Everything relating to the
prevention or cure of that terrible disease,
hydrophobia, in valuable. A Mr. W. Clif
ford, of Doddington, England, wrftes'to the .
Southeastern Uazette as follows:
Having seen in your paper an account of
the death of a poor boy at Greenwich from
hydrophobia, I ant induced to inform
you of a preparation, which, if taken
in time after a person has been bitten, will
prevent this dreadful malady; though it
will not cure it when the patient has once
got into a rabid state. I know of two per
sons in this village who were bitten by a
mad dog, but who took this remedy, and are
now living. I can also testily to several other
instances in which it has been administered,
both to persons and to animals, with equal
success ; indeed, I have never known it to
fail. It has been in the possession of a
family in the neighbohood for upwards of
lOU years, until it came into the hands of one
member who was much reduced, and
I, with Some neighbors, was induced to
buy it, not with the view of profit,
but to make the remedy known for
the good of the pWilic generally. I now
enclose you the recipe, in ord,er that you
may publish it, should you think proper.
The herbs should be good, and the mixture
carefully made; and if well corked it will
keep any length of time. 'rite following is
the recipe; 'rake dried herbs of bear's foot,
wood beteny, woodsage, agrimony, box,
and rue, each 3 oz., with a small piece of
nightshade. Cut these small, and put them
into a gallon of rain water, and boil all
together in an iron vessel until reduced
to a quart. When the liquid has boiled some
time add one ounce of antimony, and an
ounce of filed pewter. Half a pint to be
taken three mornings fasting for an adult,
and a smaller quanttty in proportion to the
age py younger persons. The same quantity
to be taken again at the next full of the
moon. The patient to abstain from any
spirituous liquors, and be very careful not
to seat the blood by violent exercise."
PERSONAL.—Major Milton Weidler, on
of Dr. Isaac C. Weidler, of U. Leacock town
ship, and Major of the 2d Pennsylvania
Veteran Reserves, arrived in this city on
'Wednesday, from Danville, Va. The Ma
jor was taken prisoner last summer by the
Confederates, and confined at Salisbury,
N. C., for a short time, and afterwards re
moved to Danville. He was released on
parole on the 22d of February, and looks
very well and is in good spirits.

PETERSON'S COL r rERFETT BANK NOTE
DETECTOR.—This admirable publication is
the best of its kind published in this coun
try. The quotations are reliable, and the
descriptions of spurious and bogus notes
are arranged in such a manner that they
can be easily understood. The financial
news, which is given with each number, is
valuable; it comprises full information up
on trade and produce in general, commerce,
money, specie, stocks, bonds, banks, rail
roads, insurance, etc.
Each number of the Detector contains the
latest intelligence in relation to all the va
rious failures of banks and banking insti
tutions, and of the various new counterfeits
and altered notes since the publication of
the last Detector. Also, a complete list of
all the broken, failed, closed, fraudulent
and worthless banks in the country.
The only official list of the National Banks
published is in Peterson's Detector.
Every storekeeper and person engaged
in business ought to become a regular sub
scriber to Peterson's Detector. The sub
scription price is one dollar and fifty cents
for the monthly issue, or three dollars for
She semi-monthly, sent to any address.
The semi-monthly number is the most
desirable, as each subscriber has the ad
vantage of getting descriptions of new COU7l
terfeit notes two weeks in advance of the
monthly subscribers.
Subscriptions may commence with any
month. Terms, always cash in advance.
All letters must be addressed to T. B. Pe
terson S Brothei•S, :3013 Chestnut street,
Philadelphia.
SUDDEN DEATH.—A correspondent in
Bart township sends us the following ac
count of the sudden death of a boy:
Last night, March 6th, a bound boy of
Mr. Christopher Graham's, Sr., whilst going
home in company with a daughter of Mr.
G. from Man's _Hill School House, stepped
into the store of Mr. Heyberger to dispose
of a skin. Mr. G's daughter proceeded
homeward, thinking the boy would follow
soon after. The boy left the store, but had
not gone far before death Overtook him.
The boy not coming home, search was
made for him, and he was found lying dead
on his face about one hundred yards from
the store. An inquest was held, and a ver
dict of death from apoplexy was rendered.
His name was Valentine Mayers, and he
was about 16 years of age."
The same correspondent furnishes the fol
lowing item about a Quaker wedding.
What his reasons are for advising people
not to attend such a happy affair in Winter
time he does not state :
"If you or any of your readers have
never seen a marriage by Friends' Cere
mony I would advise you to go; but do not,
if it can be put off, go in Winter time. If it
should happen to occur in Winter season,
be sure to take a small cannon stove along
in your pocket. The Quaker ceremony is
very short and sweet, but 0 ye gods and
little fishes, what silence pervades. You
may rest assured, however, that I will
never again go to see a Quaker wedding,
unless it be in Summer time."
FASHIONS FOR MAncii.—The following is
the account of the Paris fashions for the
present month, as given by Le Follet :
Everything in Paris is subject to the ca
prices of fashion, even to the colors selected
for the attire of the different seasons; and if
the chivalric sentiments of the present day
required each faithful knight to wear the
colors of his lady, the changes would be fre
quent, if not irksome. Just now the black
and white predominate for all gala and pub
lic dress, to such an extent that almost every
lady's colors are those usually worn by
every gentleman ; and there might be some
difficulty in recognizing these, but that the
old custom of wearing " her color" has been
relinquished. The order of the day is siin
plicity united with good taste—a Onion pro
ductive of the best results, eve;: in these
days of dressy ostentation, when, in spite
of the gaudiness inherent in many of the ar
ticles worn, a certain degree of elegance is
obtainable in their disposition and arrange
ment.
For indoor wear the Zonave vest, in cash
mere or in velvet, with the trimmings
special thereto, is still in considerable favor
in Paris. Skirts are make on purpose to be
worn with these vests, as well as with the
braided canezous, in foulard or in cashmere.
We may here note that satins are quite a la
mode again, even for ball cestu tie, the tur
quoise blue, pale rose, and pearl gray colors
being preferred. The gray especially, either
in crape or satin, has been particularly re
marked at the recent bats de la ( b bte-r.•
The taste for fur trimmings in rolls
or narrow bands on pardessus
has turned to account the merits
of the sable tufts. They are particularly
charming on black velvet vestments, no
matter of what form. Where the slab trim
ming might be found too expensive, strips
of martin fur may be employed with ad
vantage. In the way of jewelry, the crys
tal ornaments recently introduced are much
less admired for wear as earrings; but they
are with excellent effect in the hair, or
among foliage in floral ornaments for the
head.
Evening DreNs.—Light gray moire antique
robe, provided with a passementerie orna
ment fringed with light beads, so placed on
the dress as to stimulate a tunic. The bows
down the front of the skirt, of the same ma
terial as the dress, are edged with two rows
of beads. The corsage is ornamented in a
similar style. Gray velvet bonnet afachon;
a velvet band passing across the middle at
taches the lace of the fanchon.
Ball Dress.—White silk robe, ornamented
with rolls of satin surmounting a flounce
composed of upright satin rolls between two
rows of white satin tinting. Over the robe
is a tunic forming a sort of train, and sur
rounded with a flounce of plaits and bouil
lonnes,very similar to the ornamenting of
the lower part of the dress. The coursage is
round, and the bertha is trimmed to match
the other portions of this ball toilet. Pearl
necklace and head dress of marguerites.
Walking D IL,N. —Light brown silk robe,
trimmed round the skirt with two wide
bands of black velvet edged with small
halls and surmounting a plaited flounce.
The corsage habit, or coat corsage, is also
trimmed with velvet balls and passemen
terie round the edges of the back-turned
tails. Green crape bonnet, without bavolet,
but ornamented behind with a profusion of
magenta velvet ribbons.
THAT IS AN OF RAIN ?—The late
weekly return of the British Registra Gen
eral gives the following interesting informa
tion in respect to rainfall:
Rain fell in London to the amount of 43
inches, which is equivolent to forty-three
tuns of rain per acre. The rain fell during
last week, varied from thirty tuns per acre
in Edinburg, to two hundred and fifteen
tuns per acre in Glasgow. An English
acre consists of 0,282,650 square inches; and
an inch deep of rain on an acre yields 6,272,-
240 cubic inches of water, which, at 277,274
cubic inches to the gallon, makes 22,622
gallons; and as a gallon of distilled water
weighs ten pounds, the rainfall on an acre
is 226,225 pounds avoirdupois; but 2.240
pounds are a tun, and consequently, an
inch deep of rain weighs 100,993 tuns, or
nearly one hundred and one tuns per acre.
For every one hundredth of an inch a tun of
water falls per acre. If any agriculturist
were to try the experiment of distributing
artifically that which Nature so bountifully
supplies, he would soon feel inclined to
`rest and be thankful.''
Affairs ,in Missouri
Letter of Major General Pope
ST. Louis, March Sth, 1864
A long letter is published from Major
General Pope this morning, in reply to
Governor Fletcher, asking his views as
to the best use of the Union military
forces in this State, and their relation
to the present and prospective condition
of Missouri.
General Pope gives a candid review
of the condition of affairs as he finds
them, sees but little difficulty in the
way of re-establishing the civil law, and
urgently recommends the people
throughout the State to unite in active
measures to bring about that end, and
rid themselves of the present provost
marshal system, which, if continued
long, can only result in great injury to
the State by abrogating the great prin
ciple of self-government. He does not
purpose to abolish martial law, at least
until effective civil machinery can.be
put in operation throughout the
State, but wishes the people to take
immediate measures to reassert their
manhood, perform their full duty as
citizens, and restore peace and order,
and make the military subordinate to
the civil law. To this end he pledges
all the assistance at his command, and
hopes to see civil rights, civil liberty
and free institutions speedily re-estab
lished in the State, so that he can with
draw the military forces under his com
mand to a position more suited to their
taste, and where they can be of greater
service in crushing out the rebellion.
In this connection the Governor has
issued a proclamation calling upon the
citizens to unite in devising and carrying
ont such measures as will speedily re
store civil law, and enjoining all officers
of the law to exercise their full func
tions, with the promise of military as
sistance when.and where needed.
Guerrilla outrages of the most fiend
ish character continue in the vicinity of

former were wounded,

From Egypt we learn that the news
of the Peace Conference in America
had a most disastrous effect or the value
of cotton. Prices fell seriously, and the
period of the year was such that the
transactions previously were unusually
heavy, and all orders for the staple were
immediately cancelled.

A Boy's Prayer
A Presbyterian clergyman in northern
New York had two smart boys, just old
enough to have inquiring minds, but
not to discern the reason of things.
They were taught to pray, and the
efficiency and need of prayer was daily
impresssd upon them. Both had a
patch of "tucket" or "pop" corn in'Ahe
garden, and the growing blades were
watched with intense interest, a small
reward being held out to stimulate
their industry. One day, the father
walking near the patch, heard the voice
of the youngest solemnly engaged in
prayer, and dr,,v :lig near listened to
the following petition: "0 Lord make
my corn grow gent big corn, but make
brother Sam's grow all little nubbins!"

Tha properties of the Company consist of
FOUR HUNDRED and THIRTY-ONE ACRES
of land in separate tracts.
No. 1. A lease for the term of ninety-nine
years of a tract of htnd, containing ninety-one
Acres, situated in Jefferson county, Pennsyl
anta, on the south bank of the Clarion river,
near Clarington, and is subject to only one
tenth royalty. There is an extensive Bad
Bituminous Coal on the tract, and the greater
part is covered with very heavy Timber. The
use of all the Coal and Timber has been secured
by the Company. There is also, a Salt Spring
and a Gas Spring on the premises, which with
the dark color; and light specific gravity of the
011 found in the vicinity are considered sure in
dications of Oil in very large quantities. The
surface indications are of the most reliable
character. Oil and Gas Springs are numerous,
and the oil in many places is found percolating
through the surface of the ground. About 2.0
Acres is low bottom land extending along the
edge of the river about three-fourths of a mile.
affording excellent facilities for sinking'. a
number of wells, and of shipping the oil by
water, without resorting to any conveyance by
land, which is aiwa s an itentOf very great ex
pense. The Clarion river is a large stream
navigable for flatboats and rafts capable of
carrying on each boat one thousand barrels o
Oil, westwardl. , direct to Pittsburg and the
Ohio river, and eastwardly to Ridgway on the
Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, only a few
miles distant. The completion of this great
thoroughfare through our State to the great
West, which has been opened within the last
few months will, by affording facilities of corn
monication and travel, insure the rapid de
velopment of this whole region. Proposals for
running a new Railroad directly through this
locality to Venango county are now being
made. The valley of the Clarion river is fast
becoming the most pop ular andval uab e Oil Ter
ritory in the United States.
A number of years ago a few experienced and
practical oil men noticed the great deposits of
Asphaltum, and beds of Bituminous Coal and
Bituminous Limestone, which abound in Jef
ferson, Elk and Forrest counties, and from
their formation and the declination of the
slopes of the strata, became convinced that Jef
ferson county was the great oil basin of Penn
sylvania, they accordingly purchased large
quantities of land, and are now disposing of it
at fabulous prices.
We cannot point out anumber of wells yield
ing great quantities of oil in this immediate
vicinity, from the fact that no efforts have
hitherto been made to develop it; bur a little
further down the river a large number of the
most valuable wells in the country have been
obtained, with more flattering results the
nearer theyjapprouch this location, and by com
paring tile geological formation of the country
with that of the best oil-producing territory,
no doubt exists in the minds of scientific men
that it will be at least equal to the best.
No. 2. A lease for twenty years of a tract of
land known as the "Patton Farm," containing
eighty acres in Hocking county, Ohio, on the
west side of Hocking river. Raccoon creek
and two other srearns that empty into the
river runs through this tract. This river is navi
gable for Flat boats pact of the year. The
property fronts on the river, about one-third
of a mile and is distant only one-fourth of a
mile from the Hocking Canal, which intersects
the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad, at
Athens. There is an abundance of bituminous
coal on this tract; the land is. hilly and has
deep ravines with every indication of all
abundance of oil. There is a spring on the
tarm which cannot be used for watering stock
on account of being so strongly Impregnated
with oil.
No. 3. A lease for twenty years of a tract of
land known as the "Henderson Farm," con
tainining seventy -five acres in Hocking coun
ty, Ohio, on the Big Raccoon Creek, distant
about two and a half miles from the Canal.—
The Newark Railroad runs through it. A large
portion of this tract is bottom laud and the
balance hills with plenty of coal in them znd
good indications of oil,
- No. 4. A lease for twenty years of a tract of
land known as the "Crosby Farm," containing
seventy-nine acres, in Hocki❑g county, Ohio,
about one and a quarter miles from the Canal.
This tract lying on Big Raccoon Creek is
mountaiueous. and has deep ravines with good
prospects for oil.
No. 5. A lease for twenty rears of a tract of
land known as the " McAllister Farm." con
taining fifty Acres, in Hocking county, Ohio,
half a mile from the Canal. The locality of this
'tract is as good as the Patton lea=e having
every indication of a good supply of oil.
The last leases are subject to one fifth royalty
and secures to the Company the right to all the
Oil, Coal, Iron and other valuable substances
found thereon.
If The fee simple of a tract of land known as
the " Moore Farm," containing Fifty-six acres
on Five-mile creek, in Hocking county, Ohio,
distant three miles from the canal. The New
ark railroad runs through the farm. There is
a mountain on each side of the tract—the one
has an abundance of excellent iron' re, and the
other a large quantity of coal, and there is a
furnace within half a mile.
This is a valuable 'lnvestment, independent
of the oil we expect to obtain from it, the indi
cotions of which are very strong here. There
was a well dug on the farm several years ago
for the purpose of watering cattle, but there is
so much oil in the water that cattle will not
drink it. The oil found on the Ohio lands is
the "Lubricating Oil," which is much more
valuable than that found in Pennsylvania.
There are a number of valuable producing
wells in close proximity to all of the above
properties; but the regions are only beginning
to be developed, and have every indication of
being located in the very best oil territory.
The great excitement now only com
mencing to rage in regard to oil territory on
the Clarion and Hocking rivers and their trl
butaries, and the fact of the Company having
so large an amount in different locations, leaves
no doubt in the minds of the Directors that the
Company will be able, in a short time, to dis
pose of a portion of its property at prices far
exceeding the original cost, thereby securing
large dividends to the stockholders,
even before any oil is obtained; as,. after dis
posing of a large portion, the Company will
still have amply sufficient territory for the
purpose of development. In calling the atten
tion of capitalists and the public generally to
this enterprise, the Directors have determined
to spare no efforts to push the sinking of wells
to completion as fast as possible, with the view
of realizing permanent business profit to the
stockholders at the earliest moment, and they
have no hesitancy in expressing the belief
that the return will be more certain and liberal
than from any other investment. 'To give an
idea of the immense profit to be derived from
earnest and successful working, it is only ne
cessary to state that a single Company is pay
ing to its stockholders in cash div lends alone
the sum of one million dollars per year.
The inducements now offered by this Com
pany to those desirous of obtaining an interest
in a source of wealth that is now startling the
whole world are well worthy of serious con
sideration.
The public are respectfully invited to call at
the office of the Company, where every infor
mation in regard to its workings and prospects
will be freely given, and detailed Maps and
Charts exhibited.
i. , .uliscriptions to a limited part of the stock
(a large portion having already been taken)
will be received at the original price of $1 per
share, and subject to no further assessment.

HERB BITTERS.
These Bitters are rapidly winning their way
to public favor, and before long will be the only
ones in popular demand. The cures they have
effected for years past has induced the proprie
tor to bring them more particularly before the
people. They are not a new remed,y, the recipe
for making the "Bitters" having been in the
possession of the proprietor for many years.
The ingredients are composed of the following
medicinal herbs and roots, all possessing well
known curative powers and are warranted not
to contain any other article: Elecampane, Bur
dock, Spikenard, Soapwort, Peruvian ark,
B uohu, Spicewood, Mullein., Slippery Elm, Sas
safras, Sarsaparilla, Gentian Root, Juniper,
Spirits Nitre, Relsnm Coney's, Cubebs, Dande
lien, Pare Spirits and Barberry. The Bitters
have been used by persons afflicted with vari
ous diseases for some years past, and such has
been their success in curing the most obstinate
diseases, that the proprietor is now induced for
the first time to offer them to the public, with
the full confidence and a willingness to guaran
tee that if properly used they will effect per
manent cures in the most obstinate cases of
diseases. They are a certain remedy for Dys
pepsia, Liver Complaints, Loss of Appetite,
