We Bod the following la relation to the early usee to which petroleum was put, In the Venango Spectator: Tbe springs referred to by the Commend- ant of Fort Duquesae were iltuated on 01 Creek, near tbe present McClintockrllle, and were known as the Hsmlltoo McCHn- tock (Sr..) and Nathaniel Cary (Sr..) oil springs. Both toes old ploneen settled on Oil Creek la tbe latter rort of tbe lest cen tury. Mr Cary used to dip this oil by tbe blanket process and peddle It through the country for medlolnal purposes at tbe prlct of one dollar per gallon. For many sgs, Nsptba, or purs Rock Oil, was found In Asia only. The shores of the Caspian have been celebrated for this artlole, and the holy flame from It bas burned pure, and I bsd almost said eternal, npon the rersisn altar. Tbe Gbsbers. or Bra worshipers, were regarded with pro found veneration by tbelr own sod surrouod. log nations. Tbelr name and devotion are Immortal In story and song. Bow long the Indians were acquainted with these springs, is to ns noknown. Trsditloo tells that tbe Seneeas, baring eooquered. this country, and (Irmly established their empire, bestowed tbelr name upon the oil, Seneca Oil is al most ss ezteoslvsly known as tbe far-farmed Naptha of lbs Csspiao. It wss osod as an uoguent, and io their religious worship. Nearly all savage, and soms civilized ostion, have ptsctlsed anoint' log. Tbe Syrians, Greeks and Romans re garded it as a great luxury. Tbe same custom everywhere obtained among the North American Indians. They employed it to give softness and elssticity to tbelr per sons. With It, tbs Seneeas mixed tbsir war paint, which gave tbem a hideous glisten log appearance, and added great permao ency to the paint, as it rendered it Imper vious to water. What a startling spectscle the oil anointed warrior of tbe Seneeas must have been, as he gave forth the fearful war whoop, or paddled bis light canoe along dark blue waters of tbe Allegheny and To oants).
