We paid a Tisft to Pleaiiantvlllo on St
tinlay last, and wero quite favorably Im
pressed with the business prospects of the
place, besides having the pleasure of meet
ing a large Dumber of olJ-limo friends and
acquaintances, the mooting of whom recall,
id many pleasant memeries of days pone by
when Pilholewns in itsplory. The '-Den" Is
In rn II Mast, and the smiling faco ef Capt.
Sbeaitlrjr may be seen at ull JlinT s, as It
used lo was"' in Fitbole. The "Dive,''
over which our old friend Westervelt, alias
Dennis," holds coiuiuand, is also in good
running order, the members thereof giving
beed to the wise counsels of ''Dennis." The
oil business of Pleasantvllle promises lo be
H'l'te lively the coming spring and summer.

Petroleum.
The Canadian newspapers are complain
iig that no methed hus yet been discovered
whereby Canadian petroleum tan bo refined
so as to equal that of Pennsylvania for Illu
minating purposes The Canadian petro
leum emits disagreeable odor, and Injures
the tea, sugar, and oilier goods, near wbith
it may be stored. The duty of fifteen per
cent, imposed upon Pennsylvania petroleum
prevents its consumption by the Canadians,
and a demand bas been extensively made
for the repeal of this heavy tax upon-an ar
ticle which Is essential to the comfort of ev
ery family. In New Brusswiok, the coal
oil work works bavo been closed, and the
bad-smelling petroleum from the Province
of Ontario is the only substitute. Hence
the newspapers insist that a more adective
plan for refining the oil should be attempted
or that the duty of fifteen per cent, upon the
foreign article should be removed.
Tue Hwaogho one of the largest rivers ia
China, bas recently changed, or is changing
Its outlet, anil now enters the sea at a point
Ore hundred miles north of lis recent meutb.
The Rev. Dr. M.irliu, oue of the Professors
in the new University at Pekin, recently
walked dry footed orei the spot where
Lord Amherst's junks lay, while the oatives
burnod incense to insure a favorable pas
sage. There appears to Le a reason to be
lieve that in thin deviation th river is only
returning to a bed oa the north side of the
highlands of Shantung, through which it
formerly flowed; and according to Chinese
records, It has repeatedly shifted its chan
nel, sometimes divided by a delta, some
times entering the sea at a single mouth.
Sheep multiply so prodigiously iu Aus
tralia, that the boiling down ol the animals
merely for tho extraction of the tallow hus
grown into a business of huge proportions.
Four hundred sheep are cut to pieces and
thrown into a big boiler, steam from another
boiler is turned on, and the carcasses are re
duced to pulp; the tallow rises to the top, and
is drawn eff through large tups into barrels
for export The gravy and other juices, the
remains of the meat, aad the bones, which
are so softened as to crutubto easily in the
bauds, are given to pigs. Four thousand
sheep are boiled down a day.
A stuff etiiuer uf the French army in Al
giers has discovered twe subterranean
tombs, probably dating from the period
wtieu the Romans settled in Nuniidia.
Tliey evidently belonged to thu natives of
the country, and tho architecture is not
wanting in elegance and grandeur. Similar
to the Roman burying places, they contain
funeral ums de posited in niches. A skull
U'af found which tecils to prove the fuel
that tue Numidiuns decapitated their dead,
burying their head uid burning the rest of
the body.
A KrNprtKD years ago fast men used to
drink bumpers to the health ol a lady out of
hei shoe. Tho custom has fullea into dis
use; but n correspondent of a London pa.
per says that lens than twenty years ago ho
was present at a dioner ef Irish squires,
when the health vt a beautiful girl, whose
Tcet was as piotty as her face, was drank iu
champagne from one of her satin shoes,
which an admirer of the lady bad oontrived
to u jiaiu possession ot.
A correspondent tf the Bustou Journal of
Chemistry says that water-spouts and sink
spouts frezou up may be speedily thawed
out in the following manner: Procure a
piece of lea l pipe of siiitit'olo length and
size; place ono end against the ico to bo
thawed, then, through a fimntl in the
upper end, pour bailing water. Keep the pipe
constantly agait.it tho ice, and you can
penetrate one foot or more per minuto.
