les t® ugh snow and mud on foot, yhiohiia by far
the better way for ell hunters. In traveling over
Wirt, Woods, Pleasants, and Tyler counties, and j
comparing the indications and external appearances,:
I shall not be surprlsodthat richer developments;

not help but be struck with wonder and astonish-;

T predict that contlguons to the Buffalo oreeks i
will be found the best 011-produelng region now
known, and my friend from Oil City (who professes
.some knowledge of geology) agrees with me,and
bases his opinlon upon the wonderful geologioal
lOrmatlon of the' country In this neighborhood, the
features of which are so strongly marked all through:
Tyler oonnty* In this oouhty lands have advanced

fare per aore was considered a high price. Now
one hundred.and one hundred and titty dollars ara
askbd and obtained. I heard of one smallfarm that
' sold yesterday at $166 per acre. ’ Many farmers now
refuse to sell at any price, preferring to develop
their lands themselves. Many derricks are going
up, and many more will be commended in a few
days. Some dszen wellß are going down now within
from four to five miles from Middlebounie.
To-day forty-three oil-seekers, froin Pittsburg .and
further east; landed at SlstersvUle, a little town on
the Ohio river, five miles distant ftom' this point
and walked here—all, bent on securing good oil
'lands. Hotel-keepers, lawyers, and.the County
Becorder are just how reaping a rich reward,And
greenbacks are as plenty as mosquitos in July,

AHartford gentleman, who'was some years ago
engaged in quarrying on tho Upper Delayare
river, remembers that while : drilling a rook a dis
agreeable fluid flowed from the hole, and they had
to plug It up. Be isnow of the opinion that he then
“struck He,” and he has gone out with a party to
•“ pull out the plug.” i
The oil fever In lowa Is raging -floreely. The
Joliet Signal says: " A ooal. oil sprlns has been dis
covered on the farm of Frank Golst, four miles west
of thlß city, on tho Plainfield road. It is said to bo
quite rich, and has been bought by a, company for
$10:000. There iB no doubt that petroleum exists in
abundance In the vicinity of Joliet.”
Petroleum has been discovered .in an artesian
well,ln.the olty,of Tolodo-gndauenterprisingolH

of developlngib. The well haa been cleaned out,
and tho suriaoe of the water was found to be coven

the well promises to bo a profitable one; ■

The oil fever is extending into - Maryland In the

A NEW PKOOESB 808 EBVINIBe BETBOBEPK.
A successful trial of a .now system of refining
crude petroleum by chemical prooess was made in
New Yorkafew days since. Twenty gallons of
crude oil were put in a cylinder with. sereral
apartments, and, after passing through, alters,
turned ont seventeen gallons pure refined oil In
three minutes. The gentlemen present pronounced
it muoh sweeter than clarified by the old proeesg of
heat, and when burned was found also to smoke
much less. The loss of oil by this prooess is only
about twelve and one-half per cent, the naptha and
the heavy oil belDg 'neutralized; The cost by the
new system is about' three„ oents, while -in the old
way It costs about ten oonts, and the oil .Is bettet'in
every respect and the gravity more unlfom.

of the swltoh-tender at Neshamony Bridge to not
stopping the Washington train according to the
orders given him by the conductor of. the 12 o’clock
P. M. train from Philadelphia, believing, according
to the' evidence given, that there was a misunder

those orders, which, In their opinion, tends to miti
gate the censure which otherwise _ would fall upon
