Also, for a patent for an Improvement in Casing Cutters for Removing Castings from Artesian Weil. Both of these are useful and valuable ailjuucts to the machine ry already in use in the drilling of oil wells la a day or two we shall give a sketch ol the advantages claitnad fur these new oil well tools. The principal lojjio of conversation to day, is in regard to the nomination of Hor ace Greeley for President by the Cincinnati Convention. Many differences of opinion exist among our voters as to whether flor ae shi.uld be the "i looming man" or not. The probutillity Is that if he gets enough votes be will Liolec:ed.

A new well, located on the Tarr Run ter ritory, and owned by Milton Stewart, is newrly down. The indications ir good for tt bin w-ll. The tools penetrated the third Bind about three days ago, and yesterday the hole was nearly filled with oil, end a powerful vein of gas bad been struck. This augurs well for the future of our town. It will be remembered that in August last a boy named Thompson, residing on the Clapp Farm, was hlawn up by a torpedo, which himself and Bume other boys had fouml iu the woods and while fooling with exploded It. Since that time and until re cently the unlortunate bo has been con lin ed to the bouse. Yesterday, the poor boy was Id town led by a younger brother, so liciting alms from our citizens. With both eyes forever closed to the beautiful sunlight, one arm torn off, and all hat lered up other wise, he presented a truly pitiable and har rowing Bpectaclo to look upon. We are in formed bis molber and brothers and sisters yet reside on tbo Clapp farm, and are in very straitened circumstances. lie if, therefore, a worthy object of charily, and we trust all will respond liberally in bis aid Remember, the young life forever blighted and always destined to grope in darkness and have pity.

Not a day passes but what our citizens are besieged with applications for reliet from beggar of every description, from tbe Cliicairo sufferer down to tbe poor lorn wo man generally carrying a half starved oulld and balling from Corry or Titnsville.

Burcbfleld, Esq., returned borne last evening from an extended visit to tbo Indian Territory. hnv ing been absent several weeks. Mr Burcb fleld was engaged some timn since by tlie St. Louis Oil Company, who have leased of tbe Iodtaos some 7,000 acres of land located In tbe territory, to prospect tbe new oil Quids for them. Toe leaso of the company has been sanc tioned by tbo United States government. Starling Iroin St. Louis the putty consisting of Mr. Burchlield, and several members of the company, went by rail to Norfolk, Choc taw cotiuly, and there took stage to- New Boggy Depot, and Iroin there to tbe resi dence of Ex-Governor Colbert, at Oil Springs, Chickasaw county. This was tbe headquarters of tbe party. Tbo party visited the several counties of tbe territory. Tbe country, Mr. Burcbfleld states, is the garden spot of the continent, rich in iron, cannel coal, Copper, lead, gold, granite and marble. Tbe oil lands of the campauy are located between Boggy Depot and Fort Sill, in Chickasaw and Choctaw nations. Tbe surface of tbe country is hrok. en and billy. At Oil Croek, Chickasaw nation, tbe principal petroleum deposits ere found. The oil comes to the surface, and runs out of broken rock in tbe bills. It i8 gathered by the Indians la same manner as practised In early days in tbis section. -The specimen of surface oil brought borne by Mr. Burcbfleld is a beautiful dark green, of about twenty-seven degrees gravity. The rocks presented au uppearaucu of upheaval at soma remote period, by earthquake or other cause. By Introducing a stick in the (inures of ibis rock, gas and oil bubbles furth freely. Sinking a slick in the ground Is followed by tbe same results. Tbe rock is a bard white sacd, limestone, etid elate. This latter seems on edge, while tbe Bind rock and limestone lies flat. Occasional ledges ol granite and line marble is also found. From the surface Indications Mr. Burcbfleld is satisfied that developments will lead to tbe discovery of an oil Held as pro ductive as our own. The distance from the oil fields to tbe Missouri, Kansus, and Texas Kfiil'oed, is about forty miles, which road is being completed as last as possible. Mr. Burchlield will return in ninety day, having contracted to drill three wtlla for iho company. Mr. Burcbfleld was highly pleased with tbe country and people. Oil City Register. Mr. J. U.

There aie two more wells going dowa near tbis, belonging, I be iieve, to Rboades, Beecher and others.
