Mr. B. 11. Geary, a resident of tbe Skln
nsr Farm, furnishes ue with the facts of
very fcunosiout affair which occurred al
rioneer a few mornings since, and wblcb If
true, and he vouches for their truth, ought
to result in the kicking oat of decent socle-
K ty of the principal actor therein. The rests
, I appear to be that two highly respectable
' J ,0"ng BleeM ' Mr- Geary's wife,
v 'r'ed from bla bouse on tbe morning in
! T lUMl,,n ,ot Pioneer, one of whom Intended
' to lake tba early morning train for Rockes
j ter, tbe other going down to keep her com.
-5 peny. They arrived at the station about
fifteen minutes before Ibe train arrived and
V before tbe statien bouse was opened. Upon
the arrival of tba agent, tbey weat Inside
tha bouse and sat dewn by the fire, when
according to'lbeir statements, tbe aforesaid
lodividualjcame out of tba office and under
took to lake undue liberties with the oeraon
of one of them and grossly insulted both of
them, and was only compelled to desist
when one of them got ber temper up and
tbreateosd lo split bis bead open with aa
axe which lay near by. . When the. train
arrived one of Ibam went away and tba
other ana went baok heme and related to
ter uncle, Mr. Geary, what had occurred,
f If tbe facts are as stated, and wa have
1 o reason to doubt Hr. Geary 'a word, aa
example aboald be made of aa Individual,
jwbo.when placed in a pablw position and
as ajservaatof tbe 'pabllo, so far forgets
himself aa to insult dafeaealesa wosssn; .We

may not bo awore of tba entire : aroepect of
competition in their peculiar product open
ad up la the lata French aid present Ger
man province of Elstit. A German paper,
Ike Arbeltgeuer. alates tha tbadiaooyery or
prlrolenm In that region baa been aowo
lor a coniiderable time, and that a email
beginning In tba development of Ibeaaurcee
baa been mad In Scbeliweil, near the forVal
ofHageoan. Peaatratlng'a thick alluvial
atratunt, clay, landatooa and tend veins are
met with. These latter appear to contain
tba petroleum, wblcb Is found at tba 'depth
of from a hundred faad Ofty lo hundred
and aixly feet. Further explorations in
the Hegnau forest led lo tha diesovery uf
other Km re. : boring lo various placea bav
lag tverj wh.re disclosed snd aked with
potiolen ii. Tttongb tba working of these
saurcrs is vet Utile more men begun,
nongh b. btan discovered to render II
probable that tba business may grow into
an Important Industry. Acsordiog to tka
authority referred lo above, the method of
operation Is as follows: A Shalt la run
dawn to tba land-stratum wbiah contains
tba til, and galleries era tbea opened aa In
a coal mioa. Tba oil flows out or the sand
into reservoirs, from wblcb it Is conveyed to
tba surface. In this manner, however, all
the oil aonlained in tba sand is not secured;
tha sand la therefore taken Into tba upper
air where It Is distilled in retoits. Trie
crude oil aa it flows from the sides ol the
galleries and Ibat wbiob la distilled from
tba sand, are both subjected to another
proeesa of dislllatlon by which the article Is
rectified, It Is affirmed that tba oil thus
procured la Elssss Is fully equal la excel
lence to the American product. Tba oily
sand exists in great quantities, and an Eo
cllah chemist who baa visited tha aite and
made the necessary Investigations, jooour
ages the liveliest hopes of the sources of the
petroleum business there.
