Mr. Seetin wan tUat year in this country as an assistant to Alexander McDowell, kdeoeaeed Deputy Surveyor ol the Commeuweallb, aud came from tbe eastern part of the State. Tbe "Oil Fishery" spoken of was situated snout two miles above tbe moutb of Oil Creek. Neither of the Messrs. lisle, Seetin or McDowell lived to see tua oil (they knew as an excellent medical remedy become one ot the greatest staples Ihe world ever taw. It would, perhaps, surprise tbe writler ol this letter If be could come on eartb sudden ly and see that what be thought would be eagerly sought .for by Ihe doctors of tbe east es an iulalliule remedy for bums, fcc, isjouly ao old wouieo s remedy for luob ail. oieuta. Here Is tbe letter: Oil FtNMERr, 20iu of October, 1799. Deak Sik: I have bad tbe pleasure of ex ploring the, oil fishery. Tbe manner io wbiob they gather tbe oil is very curious. They first build a dam of stone, end 'that serves to retard the passsge of Ibe oil io its floating ou tbe surface of a,tbe water; tben warm the same over tbe Dre or io tbe eun beams until it becomes about lukewarm. Tbe water by this means settles lo tbe bot tom of the vessel and so tbe oil is extracted. 1 am informed by those employed in tbe business that tbey can sell each gallon thus puntled at two dollars, and can gather kio the course of on season at leas t three and from that to six barrele; ao that it may be considered a lucrative em'ploymeci. Tbis il by experience has been found to exceed Ibe train oil in tbe manufacturing of leath er; il is also proved to be medical io rheu matic psiusaod will infallibly eureka burn, sold, wouod or sprain. Iiow admirably is divine power aod wisdom exhibited io tbis curious snd spootaoeou production of Na tuie.
