We bopo thi enterprise Vi!! b i.usticd ahead pi oompletioii. The neology ot Petroleum. Now Chlcagn night become the great center ol tho petroleum trade, for there's ijrcase enough there, If it was oome-at able. Dr. Hunt, tbo distinguished Canadian neoloirtt, read a paper at tho American Selenlilio Association In Troy, wherein he proves petroleum to be indigenous to certain limestones, not however, entering Into them, as is sometimes staled, by distillation from neighboring schists; tbeso schists have not been subjected to great beat, and the petroleum limestone olten lies far below ditch formations. The oil is usually found in patches and bands, with strata above and below containing no oil. The oil is iterineiically scaled in the pores ot the lime stone and escapes only on lines of disturb ance, again accumulating in figures -or on overlying strata. Near Chicago there is trap limestone of the Niagara formation, 35 to 40 reel thick, Ailed with oil and really containing nearly half lis weight In oil; every square mile has 7;4 million barrels of real petroleum. As Pennsylvania In ten years yielded 28,000,000 barrels of oil, it follows that within four square miles of tbe Chicago limestone there is more oil than has been obtaioed altogether in ten years in Pennsylvania. However, tbls oil is not obtainable, as It does not appear wilh pools that force It out in spouts in other places where Its collection has been a success. Tho whole secret is that heat is vitally necessary to tbe separation ol oilaud lis .I'norbent rocks. In relation to this sub' ject, Prof. Newberry bore testimony to the general accuracy of tbe conclusion ol I)r aunt, but bis experience warned biui to regard limestone as by no means tbe only ource of oil in fuctslrutihVd bitiimiuoas shales, that so largely abound with pole ioio rack holds oil and yield It liberally. come of this in Pennsylvania, too, is of un questionable animal origin. It that Slate bituminous shales underlie all tbe produc tive oil wells, separated hundreds ofleet from tbe limestone, wbicb is besides luiper. vious. These sbalus yield oil spontaneous ly, and over all of them are sandjtunes allowing eisy csc tpe. Tbe practical work of oil-getting is largely indeliied lo these investigations for success in boring, end tbe present discoveries are no less important ban preceding ones. Continuing this In teresting discussion, Dr. Hall, tbe eminent geologist of our Stale, averred, that two bun dred miles of limestone, of tbe Niagara group in Ibis Statu, upon being tested, yielded drops of petroleum, und when expos ed lo beat the oil would run out in streams. A specimen from Block Creek, now in Ibe State Museum at Albany, has been drip ping with petroleum for thirty yeais. , 'rum tbe Marcellus shale, and tbut of Gen- easee. 1'ortugo and (Jliemung, there are constant emissions ol inhamable gas in pro digious quantities and an escape ul pelro- en in in small quantities. In none ol these' localities, however, are tbeie any produc tive oil wullg Tbe outcrop is neurly on a plane, or without undulations or apex, and on tuis account tbe Jjoctor bad always dis couraged boring wells along these oil bills, tbu.ugb It is certain that, bad tbe country originally been disturbed, so as to produce some iuterolivial flexures, where ibe slowly ooziug oil could have accumulated, there would now be numberless productive wolls iu that part of tbe State. Tbe Stanton (Va.) Spectator gives tbe particulars or tbe horrible death of two young girls, caused by tbe explosion or ker osene oil. The victims wero daughters of Mr. Edward Heiser, residing several miles west of Cburchvllle. One or two circum. stances connected with this sad affair are worthy or note. The cider alone was burned by the explosion, and tbe flames were communicated to the younger while fying lo save her sister. Tbe younger af tor proceeding somn distance in the direc lion In which they ran, her clothes being almost, it not wholly, burnt Irom bor body, returned to the bouse to tirocure a rlress. wbieb sbo carried in bor band to Mr. Light. uers; while tbe elder bore tin e tire din- lance the only member ot tbo family pees ent when the accident occurred, a child eighteen months old, and on reaching Mr. Ligblner's where also was her father, throw. ing her arms about the father s neck, her first words were: "We're burned to death, but we have saved tbe baby." Nrw Wki.i,. A cew well commenced testing on Urn Win. McCray farm, about 12 o'clock Saturday nlgbt, aud is now yielding 10 to 12 barrels per day. It is owned by S. a. woods or tbii place and It. Mitchell or Plumer. A large refinery Is being built at Miller Farm. Tho stills, healers, &c, are on tbe ground. Tho reOncry is located on tbe hill back or tbe place. There are now about 600 men emnloved on the Union and Tilusvll'e Railroad and more arc being put on as fast as tby cn be, hired. ' Latest niiil Most Important War iews. Paris, August 55.

Commencing at two o clock, with nonnariul tvne. Mr. Wall set 4,283 ems in two hours and fotty minutes, while Mr. Barber set but 4,004.

A lew evenings since they called at ber residence In their best black suits. She left them together on pre tense or going up stairs, and in a lew inin tiles tbe servant maid made bold to enlist iheir services in the removal or some flour in the kitchen. They went to work will ingly, nnd the maid found so many add! tlonal jobs for them to do that the poor fellows were fioally glad enough to escape trom the house without seeing the ol- jeci 01 meir an cuons. TBey never wont ain. There is a sbarp competition between tbo overland linos to California and the Pacific Mail steamers. Both parties are cutting under and carrying freight for less than the cost of transportation. The railway has taken freight In several iuslances at three dollars per hundred pounds, and the steamship company has 'signed through hills of lading at two dollars per hundred for the same kind ot freight. Compeliiioti is so lively tbat it costs less to send freight from New York to Sao Francisco than from Chicago to Omaha.
