meat would be practicable In our own thritln,d
city, and our Councils should give the matter
their attention and a thorough Investigation.
A Male Speculation that Didn't Pay
During the last two weeks about one thousand
army wagons drawn by moles have passed
throgh the neighboring town of Washingtln, In
several trains, all of which perked over night
outside of the town. El.:me very enterprising
citizens of that place concluded - to avail them
selves of the opportunity thus afforded to pro
cure a few mules for their own use. According.
ly some eighteen or 'twe . v . ty were obtained by
various persons In the baronet and vicinity;
some taking more and some less. Just hoer
they were procured we are unable to say; bat
we will presume they were purchased hoot some
unauthorized persons. During the early part of
this week some of the Government officials hav
ing missed their mules after leaving town, and
suspecting all was not right, returned and made
march, finding upwards of a dozen snugly hal
tered op and properly taken care of in various
places In the town and vicinity. The persona In
whosepcasifeston they were found, not being able
to show That they bad obtained them In the relp:
nlar way, had of course to give them up and
lose whatever money they paid to the drivel
from whom they.purehased, knowing that they
had no authority to sell them.

Indiana and Westmoreland Count . ) Oil
College—Comte
Mica LicxPA., June 23. 1985,
Editors 00-xlm...—The all excitement has at
length reached the staid old agricultural counties
of Indiana and Westmoreland, and the tide of
oil speculators has set In, and lands are chang.
leg hands every day. From various reasons
many geologists have located the grand central
basin of the ! Penang° oil regions In Indiana.
county, somewhere In the vicinity of Black
Lick Creek. This Idea was first promulgated by
&scientific and learned editorial published some
years ago, and commented upon a short time
since, by the same writer, In your Journal, and
in the outward appearance of the locality men
tioned erns to warrant the theory, Much capi
tal.
will be expended during the present year in
developing the new Oildorado. Front Blainsvllle
Intersection, along the Indiana Branch Railroad
to the town of Indiana the general appearance
of thecauntry to a certain extent, does not war
rant thehellef that oil will be found In abundant
quantities, although back from the line of the
road the country presentee striking resemblance
to other celebrated oil regions. The hills are
rough and broken, end In many Instances dip
and form perfect washbowls of nature out of
the valleys at their bases, tills_pscollar forma
tion being regarded as a goof show for oil, The
lls are rich with coal deposits, and the coal it
self Is taken by some - "metiers" as an indica
lion of all, as itis a soft, greasy, coal, and con
tains more gas than any othet found in the
State. - About thirty years ago a salt well was
bored somewhere In the neighborhood of Maks
title, and the well filled with oil, and the owners
abandoned it. This is no story sheds for the tic;
carton by land speculators, but an actual fact,
of which we ass t , Informed by a non.interestast
and highly reseettable old resident of Blairs
vine. The site of gib& well has beit — fr. sought, for
Itivafff, and as the canal' was dug afterwards it
- Is presumed now that It was led over It, thus
hiding a mine of wealth frOm the
greasy world. Between Blairsville and
Indiana the land has enhanced wonderfully
In value, and whether oil lii paying quantities
will be discovered or not the farmers will reap a
rich harvest from their lands. Agents from the
Eastern cities are purchasing at large figures all

I will not purchase hills for coal, but "plater bob.

Male - vine three wells are going dawn—the Sir.
well, Baird and Pottsville wells- In the former,
at a.depth of 150 feet; a vein of very ettrperinr,
odorless oil was struck, but as it pumped but i
ono half gallon per hour, the boring was resumed,
and at the depth of 407 feet (in the third sand. !
rock) the rope broke and operations were brought
to a close, for the present at least, as it Is a very
difficult matter to takeup a broken rope from a
well. On Saturday last, at. the Baird well, a vein
of oil waa struck at the depth of 400 feet, but it
was of no consequence. ThePottaville Company
have just commenced operations. At Black Lick
the Getty - Well Company are preparing to bore
and hays their machinery on the ground. This
company oak organized •in Philadelphia with a

The Fourth of July.
En[Toni Gazirrrn: lam compelled from a
sense of duty as well as a natural pride for my
native city, to demur to the wholesale attacks of
the prima at the want of patriotism of Pittsburgh
in not, axterng ra mama Into a big jollification
on the coming 4th of July. We have homilies
drily ream to us of what Is doing In other Places
—for Instance Chicago, where great preparations
are on foot. I hope our citizens have not forgot
ten the letters published In our papers a short
time ago from 601110 of the war-worn veterans of
Illinois, that painted through our city, stating In
glowing language the magnificent mention and
bountiful repast tarnished by mutable Subsist
ence Committee. Also, with whatlndignation
and contempt they looked on the citizens of their
own metropolis on their arrival there—as one of
the writers stated, they expected to have a grand
reception. No brass band, no sumptuous meal
awaited them—not even a cup of cold water was
offered them.
I would ask how many of the number of those
places that are about spending so much money
on the coming ith, has supplied the luihgry and
weary soldiers as they passed through their
towns and cities, with a Rood comfortable meal,
and kind nurses to take their sink and nurse
them until able to pursue their journey. Echo
answers, Pittsburgh has done all this, and she
will have a greater and prouder celeb ration on
the next 4th, In the hearts of the many - thous.

partaken of our hospitality, then all the tam

iticians and others might Inflict upon the peo

Messrs. Editors , I
scarcely hear or a complaint among the people
that the proposed celebration has fallen through,
and It looks very much like as If you and your
colleagues wore determined to push It through,
and with "chalked hats" you would have a jolly
good timeof it. Gents of the preas all we ask of
you is,'do not place us in an unfavorablelight

N017.-Ibe idea of editors having "chalked
hats" for a public celebration of the Fourth of
July Is a novel. one, and will provoke a smile
upon the usually placid countenances of the frai
ternity. Such demonstrations, so far from (urn.
Ming a, "jolly good time" for editors, only ica•
hard a rd dav's work upon them. Our very
worthy correspondent .wlli have to seek some
other reason why a celebration is desired by the
press, than the very selfish. motive which he at•
