OIL EXCrITIEFsAT ONCE FREN CREEL The oil fever has extended to French creek, and numerous sales of territory along that stream are reported. The Meadville. Journal alluding to the matter, says: • week the Shaw farm at ihaw•s Landing was sold for 87,000. Another farm, a short distance below, also belonging to Mr. Shaw and known as the "llilbronner farm," was sold for 810,000. The party purchasing is thoroughly posted in oil matters, and is_ familiar with the whcle valley, as well as with the oil territory on Oil creek, and is confident that the prospects for oil on French creek are very bright. There is no reason to doubt this. The show of oil from the wells a few miles above Franklin, is very profitable already, and territory in that neighborhood is eagerly sought after. The fact that oil is abundance is procured slang the lower part of the creek, very- clearly indicates that it exists all along the creek, and its development depends entirely upon the enterprise bestowed in exploring. At any rate, shrewd and experienced operators have been attracted to this region, and are investing largely, with the fullest confidence that the valley abounds with oil." PERSONAL On Tuesday E. E. Morgan died at his residence in New Ydrk city, in his 581 b year. Capt Morgaa was a self-made man.
