Some of the bevetaget sold in this place,
judging by their predisposing fqree ai re
cognized by tbelr various developments,
have positively wonderful qualities, and at
one place, at least, the fluids have the effect
to convince Ihe imbiber that be is in the
place where he is not, and not io Ihe place
where he Is. For instance, a man who
came hither from Oil City, on Monday eve
ning, and look a little distilled refreshment
at an accommodating sample room, was
found on Ibe.Boyd Farm, at eleven o'clock
the same otghs, madly, diving, at a freight
ear on the Oil Creek Railroad in Ihe endea
vor to get on board. The friendly restraint
of a passer-by alone prevented the bilariona
Individual from damaging hi, craoium
against the aide or wheels of the vehicle.
The man asked him where he wanted to go,
tod be laid 'To the Atlantic depot," and
to an Inquiry where he supposed be was, be
answered "In Oil City." He was Fnllgbt.

The Republicans held ao enthusiastic

It was addressed by one or two gentlemen

new urike of three hundred barrels a day
on the Jamison farm. Half a mile west ii
he new. well of Vf. C. Campbell, almost
cnmpletrd, giving evidence of being one of
tb largest io that vicinity.
A daily mall is eatabliabed between Fair-
view and Jamison farm, and excitement in
tlat direction is Intense. Everybody yon
meet ia talking "Jamiion," and either go
ing to it or bas beea there.
Tbe town of Fairview Is fu'l of life.
Crowds of people oome and go every hour,
and lb hotel accommodations are far from
being adequate to meet the demand. Twen-
ly-four stages arrive and depart daily.
Seventeen of them from Parker and seven
from East Brady, besides a line lo and from
he Jamison, connecting with all tbe other.
Tbsre is, w believe, a daily stag running
from Butler to Fairvinw. This territory,
locludiog Petrolla City, McClymond, Camp,
bell and JanjiBon.jpresents tbe largest field
of operations ever developed. Hundreds ol
new wells have just been started, and with
those already producing, the yield of oil
(ram this field will be immense.
A new railroad iiprojectod and to be pul
la running oider Irom Butler to Ibe Jami
son farm, within tbirly days. Tula will
afford tbe needed facilities for travel end
transportation of goods into tbat locality.
Meu of enterprise have the matter ia band
aod will push the work vigorously lorward.
Tbe most attractive object is the large
addition to Fairview. In November last,
C. D. Aogell, Esq , tbe prominent oil oper
ator, purobased of John (cott, Esq., one
hundred and tbirtyrsix acres ol land, adjaoi
ent lo tb village of Fairview. He alter-
lerwards disposed of one-half interest in Ibe
purchase lo Messrs. Warren, Robertson,
Maples and others, of Mayvllle, Chautauqua
County, New 1 ork, aud in their honor,
christened it tbe "Mayville Traot." A well
was put down and on the 10th ol June last
oil was struck, end tbe average yield up to
this time bas beeu sixty barrels per day.
There are four other wells io progress en
Ihe farm, aod will sooo be down. Mr. Au-
gell bas also purchased tbe Timblin tract of
60 acres, on which one well Is In progress of
drilling. He has also secured by purchase,
of Messrs. Stongbton, Tbooipsua and Mc
Culloob, tbe Monroe and Kepler farms, ;ooe
Halt mile lou'b of tbe McClvuiund faiui, and
Is puttiug down two wells on luoin. Ilie
known aaahe "Angell Tract."
But, as we remarked, the mast important
matter to tbesa translations is Ihe addition
to Fairview. These gentlemen having an
eye to tbe future, aod knowing the vast Irn.
porlance of Fairview as an oil centre, tbey
have laid out 200 excel lent building lots, oo
what we consider a splendid location, de
signed intvery shurt lime to the most at
tractive, as will be the most central of tliis
great aod Increasing oil region. The
ground is suffioleotly elevated- to afford a
grand view over tbe surrouoding country,
besides being bealtby. Tba streets have
been laid out regularly, baring width to
make tbem convenient, and when built up
with good and substantial structure's, wil'
present ooe ot Ibe most inviting towns to
lb new or old Dorado.
The lots are being taken rapid ly and new
buildings, have been oompleted and others
under way. The natural advantages of
tbls new location, and tbe reasonable prices
demanded for lots, will .secure a rapid dis-
posal of Ibe whole two hundred. A large
I and well flolsbed hotel will be commenced
at once, aod witb Mr. Cross, of Petroleum
Centre, as "Mine Host," ths hungry and
