A correspondent of the Meadvtlle Repub-
oan writes as follows from Foxburg:
We have just returned from a rids through
the lower part of this rich and apparently
unbounded oil bell, and will give you a
brief description or tbe country through
wbloh I passed, and In tbe last six months
have been over almost every portion of what
ia called the oil belt between here and But
lei, a distance of about thirty miles. Be
tween here and Parkers, (three miles,)
there are a great number of wells on the
west side of tbe river, out tbey are mostly
old wells, being called 'small territory,' but
sure. Tbe wells doing, when flrat struck,
from ten to lorty barrels, or more; but
there are but few new well drilling on this
part of the belt, ss tbe excitement Is now
io tbe lower part of tbe belt from Pctrolia
City to Greeoe City. Tbe bell bere, as de
veloped, is about one mile wide.
Patter's Landiog and Lawreoceburg sre
ttill very busy oil centers, and perhaps will
be such for years to come. Tbe burnt die
trict at Parker Is being rebuilt, but not as
rapidly as was at tint anticipated. The
citizens tbere think It will be all rebuilt
with a better class or buildings tban those
that were burnt.
The next town Is Marllnsbnrg, wblcb was
so unfortunate as to be a little to the); right
of tbe belt, the wells tbere being small, of
course has belped tbe town in business.
But few new buildiugs have been added to
tbe place by reaton of Ibe oil excitement,
and It it but n small town.
Petrolia City Is tbe next town In tbe belt.
Tbls town hss all been built In tbe last six
months, and Is right In Ibe centre of tbe oil
belt, as fsr as developed. It Is quite a
larje town, and growing. About bare tbey
get tbe best wells, thus far, found In tbe
belt, wella produoing at blgh at 250 bar
tils ol oil psr dey,.lwben first ttruck. A
large number ot wells are being drilled
about here; and parties holding leases in
Ibis part of Ibe belt, ask a bonus of from
two buddred to five hundred dollars per
acre, with a 'quarter royally.' This town,
we tbink, is tsking the lead ofairview,
wbiob Isfquite au old town, but Mile Irom
Petrolia; but it It a little to tbe right of tbe
bell at developed up to tbe present time.
Tbe oexi town in the line or tbe belt Is
Earns City, about tbree miles from Petro
11a. This, like Petrolia has sprung cp In
tbe last five months, and it quite a town
now, a large amount or business being done
at tbat point. They are getting tome very
large wells bere and vicinily. Tbe devel
opmeota have extended soma two or three
miles from this point in the direction or
Uiilerstowo, and at this point oil men br
come puzzled to determine the direction ot
tbe bell. Since tbe Greece City strike tbe
querry being whether Greece City la on Ibis
belt or another, some holding thai ii U, and
others (bat ills oo what is kuown aa the
Scrnbgreas ball. It will soon be decided
whether MUIerstowo is oo the belt, as a
number of wells will soon be down Io its
vicinity. This Is an old town, and but
small as yet, but should oil be toand about
it, It will be quite a center rot business.
Tbe next aod lust oil town is Greece City
about five miles from MUIerstowo. Tbis
town bas sprung up within tbe last ninety
dsys, aod is being built up very rapidly,
and is destined to be a second Parker or
Petersburg. It Is in a deep cut or ravine
surrousded wltb bills covered wltb scrub
ok. The first well was struck bere but s
short lima ego on tbe Jamisoj farm, and
was a wild eat well, but it proved a 't pouter'
aud now tbere are same Ave or aix wells
producing oil, all very large ones, aud about
forty or fifty drilliug, all gelling at close as
possible to those Ibat are already produoing,
aud wbeo tbey are all down will soon ex
bausl Ibe territory near Greece Cily.
.Butler is 8 miles liom Greeoe Cily and
tba nearest railroad point to Ibe same
Property.ls advancing very rapidly in tbis
town by reason ol Ibe oil developments so
nsar It, and nsw and oostly Improvements
are being added Io Ibe town, and Butler is
bound to be a large town, should the oil ex
lend on in the dliection tbe belt or belts
are tending at tbe present time. Weill ate
being drilled near tbe town aod it will toon
be determined whether It it In tba line ol
tbe bell or not
Tbe whole line ot tbit belt Iff through a
billy country, aod in many places tbe bills
are covered with scrub oaks and rocks,
Tbe farmers could barely eia ent a living
on tbe parts cleared. There sre but few
barns, and Ibe bouses are mostly old leg
bins, wuicn, juaging irom tbsir looks, were
built by tbe trtt settlers, wben tbe whole
country wss a wilderness. Tbe soil poet.
Tba country about Grssce City Is very bar
ren, tbe bills bslog covered witb very low

There's a little drawer in my chamber,
Guarded with lender oare.
Where tbe dainty clothes are lying,
That my darling eball never wear;
Aud tbere, while tbo hours are waning,
'Till Ibe bouse is all at rest,

Close to my aching breast.
My dsrling's pretty white garments,
I wrought them while sitting apart,
While blsrnyttio life was throbbing
Under my throbbing heart;
And often my happy dreaming
Break in a little song,
Like tbe murmur ol birds at brooding,
When tbe dsys arc warm and long.
I fit I 'bed the daioty wardr b,
And tbe drawer was almost lull
Wltb robes ol Ibe finest muslin,
And robes ol tbe whitest wool.

Witb a mse for every pair.

Fit lor my prime to wear."
Ab! Ibe radiant summer morning,
So full of a mother's joy I
"Thank God I be Is fair and perfect,
My beautiful new born bey."
Let bim wear the pretty while garments
I wrought while silting apart,
Lay blm, to tweet and helpless,
There, close to my throbbing heart.
Many and many an evening
I sit sinoe my baby came,
Saying, "What do Ibe angels call blm?"
For bodied without a name;
Sit while the boors are waning
And tbe bouse Is all at rest,
Aod faocy a baby nestling '
Close Io my achingtreaet.
