Howling Hammond.
From the Dubuque Herald
Almost everybody In Dubuque know how
Mr. Hammond's revival meeting are pro
pressing; the papera have beeu full of them,
and no tubj"Ct has been no much discussed
io tbe lamily and social circles. The ques
tion is yet ttudeclded as I whether tbey
will ascomplisb more good than evil or more
evil than tood, and it probably la one of
those queationa tkat never will be decided.
It may be matter of cnrioslty to people In
Dubuque to koew what Is thought ef our
revival abroad, and we therefore append tbe
remarks of Ibe Montlcello Express: '
'Rev. E. P. Hammond, tbe noted revi
valist, Is oreating considerable sensation In
Dubuque. Last week, io company with a
number f ladies aud gentlemen, be entered
one of Ibe saloons, and exhorted the pro
prittor to repentance. Tbat Individual
was so pleated and flattered wilb tbe alten
tlon abowo bitn tbat he very properly 'set
'em tip' for tbe crowd, and was greatly aha
grlned to find that his liberality was not ap
pelated. After a few words of prayer for
Ibe Impenitent beer sllnger the 'praying
baud' left bins to bis own devices. lie says
ii'bat the vitit was worth more to blm than a
month's adverlis'tnett in a daily payer, for
all the rest of tbe day aad several daya
ibereatter, be waa favored with ao extraor
inary run oo beer and boulogna, owing to
be curiosity of tbe 'poys'to hear all about
is itrange visitation. Whether Ibe reviv
iia. succeeds in making converts or not, it
is t ear, tbat be is making a stir among Ibe
dry bonet of Dubuque. Only Ibe other day
he mounted a borne, and rode Ibreugh the
afreets ol this oity. crying at tbe top ol bis
voice. 'Come to Jaus;r and calling upon lb
people to come oat to Ibe meeting, creating
an excitement like that made by tbe proph
et of old, io tbe street ol Nineveb. It Mr.
Hammond's services conld be secured for
Montieello, it would be so excelled! thing.
Tbe laat revival here did noC 'pan out' very
wall. We all of ut oeed stirrlog up, sod wbo
knows but tbat tbe meat uobellevlna, care
hardened, and etiS-neoked among nt might
not be brought to onr marrow bones, by tbe
earnesl appeal, and fervent eloquence of
this Impassioned and lealous divine."
Oil News. A new well war truck on
the D. Asbbauh (arm, about a mile south
west of Edenburg, io Beaver townthip. It
was tubed tbe beginning of the week, and
started off finely. It la eallmated at from
iO to 100 bavrela per day.
Th well on the Young farm furtherdown
Beaver creek, is nearly down with good
prospeots.
Other developments in that section are
noticed by our M-iiena corretpondent.
JTbe production of oil la now enlmated at
over 20.000 bHrrelaa day largely exceeding
the demand. Tbe combination does noli
keep up tbe pile, and oil was quoted at
Parker yetlrday at $2,36 a barrel. We
reiret tbat tkere aia a prospect of a general
tmasb up ot those engaged In produeiag ol I
wba have oot capital or backera to carry
them tbroagb the craab. A mailer pro
duction and re liners at home are absolutely
neceaaty for tbe producera safety. Clar
ion Democrat.
i It is probably ell kaown thai various
partieare making all Ibe effort wilbln
tbeir power t bear the oil market, lib
uaual art employed for the purpose are fe
aorted to, and as la geasrally tb Oaie, bear
io the present instance will succeed for a
Lai. Of couree, the aame parties will in
turn aoon become bulls. Already wo bear
of exteosive preparations for tanking oil,
and mooey will not be wanting for buying
great quanlltieeof oil at present figures. In
ibis way production will be relieved, tem
porarily, but will go oo, we suppose, with
development, piling one evil upon another
until there shall ceme a g eneral erab,
wbiob, in its effeots, will be tbe more over
whelming, Ibe longer it sball be deterred.
Hence tbe parties wbo bear tbe martlet for
me purpoas or ouytog tl io lauk may
have, attar gelling it, to hold It io (lore
long lime, much looger it may be, than
they have prepared fr; while producers,
