A number of children have been

The latest slang po net rates even
to this secluded spot. It is touching
to see some of our strong . jst and best

These spring-like days create on
itching to handle the mullet once

these nninvcrnries ir. future on some
other day than Monday, as on that
day it is more difficult to foreclose on
a clean shirt for the frolic, (but after
all can turn a shirt collar and moct
such occasions). We have not time
nor space to enumerate tlioso present,
but among them were Rev. Wm. El

Hon. J. A. Proper, A. B. Kelly Esq.,
Dr. Coburn. A. II. Partridge, T. B.
Cobb, Copt. Kepler, T.J. VanGiescn,
G. W. Robinson, D. W. Clark, and
others; ladies in proportion. R. L.
Cochran Esq., of Franklin, (whilom
editor of the Spectator) and lady were
there. The presents on the occasion
were varied iu pleasing gradation,
such as, brackets, rolling pios, axe
bandies, stave bolts, (garnished),
kraut cutters, mouso traps, and last
but not least, the wooden rooster of
Mr. E., "which should be seen- to be
appreciated." The idea of this"Har

gested to tho worthy donor by reading
the Legislative Record. Time and

The Clarion Democrat, speaking
of the proposed well at the north end
of this place says: "They are bound
to see what it is awny down under
ground about there ihat has such a
strong small. If they don't find oil,
the boles will be taken up and utilized
for post holes in building fence around
the extensive farms of the stockhold
ers, and the gas equally divided be
tween the political parties fur cam
paign purposes."
There is no question as to what
causes tho terrible stench that Clarion
is noted for. The smell of that Demo
crat office drove one man clear down
to Columbus, O. As for gas, if Brown's
supply was utilized, we wouldn't hear
of any more gas wells beiug purchased
to ruu Pittsburgh manufactories. He
has enough and to spare, to run all
the smelting works iu the United

A receipt for Petroleum Oil bear

Mr. II. II. May, being dated June 20,
1852, for oil obtained of Mr. McCIin

oil was obtained by the old blanket

streams, was absorbed in blankets, the
blaukets wrung out and the oil thus
expressed. Saw mills used this oil at
that tiino for lubricating purposes in

then as the best lubricating oil ex

the saw mills in a crude state. It was

Last week the weather was bright,
balmy and beautiful, and although
trouting is out of season, one coulri
hardly resist the temptation to go out

of everybody's mind, and we have no

Southern Travels.
Note. It might be well before we
commence, to say that we have arrived
home, sound iu body; consequently
in reading accounts of our terrible ad
ventures aud hair-breadth 'scapes, our
readers can always comfort themselves
with the assurance that we came out
in good shape. We explain this to
check the flow of sympathy and con
sternation that would otherwise cast
n gloom over the thrilling parts of the
uarrative. Editor.
At Enterprise, where our last letter
was dated, on the evening of tho 11th,
ult., at 9 o'clock, we climbed into a
covered spring wagon, the motive pow
er of which vehicle was a span of
mules. Said mules had become ao
climated, t. e. lazy, and as our lungs
are good, wo found no difficulty iu
breathing. The driver was a young
man who "farmed it," at Saud Point,
and runs the hack for the accommoda
tion of the public, at a dead loss to
himself, if as Ben. Frauklin assures
us, Time is Money.
We were the only passenger from
Enterprise to Cook's Ferry, ou Lake
Harney, a distance of fifteen miles,
and the driver entertained us for some
time by an account of a panther.w hich
had disputed the passage of his mules
and vehicle, at just about that point,
and at ju3t about that time of night.
The beast had sprang at the "nigh"
mule, which had forgotten its acclima
tion long enough to deliver a well
aimed kick, which stretched the pan
ther out about a rod iu the rear. The
driver got out aud weut back to see
what the animal was, but the panther
seemed to have about the same curi
osity in regard to kirn, he turned,
jumped intu tho wagon aud in two
seconds afterward, you couldn't have
told that those mules had ever been
acclimated.
During this recital, we, of course,
paid close attention ic the cheerful
woids of the driver, but we also kept
a bright lookout on every si do for
game. We loaded our shot-guu with
buck-shot, und carelessly played with
the stock of our revolver. Felt cold.
aud shivered somewhat, but were very
much interested in the tale. Finally
we took a field-glass out of our valise,
nnd thought wo would look around,
and see if we could see any panthers,
but for the life of us, we couldn't get
it higher thnn our mouth I The driver
also experienced the same difficulty
The shivering stopped shortly after-
waid, and the driver took the trouble
to make a bed Lr us in the wagon ; we
turned in, and were soon in Tloncsta,
in spirit, while our body was being
tumbled around somewhat after the
style of a Sons of Malta Initiation,
We were awakened by the stoppage
of the wagon at Cook's ferry, and
looking at our watch found it was
4:15 a. m. AVe had made the entire
distance of fifteen miles in the unpre
cedented time of seven hours and fif-
teeu miuutes ! With the driver for a
bedfellow, we turned In agaiu, aud
sweetly slept until the gray dawn ap
peared, struggling with the fever-laden
fogs of the St. Johns river. A few
lusty shouts brought a man across
with a flat-boat, and after a little per
suasion tho mules were enticed aboard,
and the vehicle, passenger, driver,
field-glass, and munitions of war, were
landed on the southern shore of Deep
Creek.
Here we found our passengers.
Four able-bodied men, three ditto la
dies, and three heavy children, exclu
sive of the driver! Each had at least
one valise, and several packages. Just
how that vehicle was to get away with
its load was a conundrum that we
gave up on sight. However, a cup of
coffee was made aud drank, a few bis
cuits eaten, and the trouble com
menced. First, the baggage was piled
in, and towered above the seats. Theu
eight passengers got in, aud sat with
their feet hanging out of the wngou.
Two passengers walked ahead with
their guns. The driver walked and
drove the team.
We walked ahead about four miles,
aud had just gotten a good sight on a
large hawk, when our ears were salut
ed with cries from an oil he-buzzard
in the waggon : "Oh I don't shoot !
The tympanium of my ears are' very
sensitive, and it will cei taiuly ruin my
hearing!" We desisted; but during
our ride afterward we managed to
ventilate our opinion about any man,
or set of men with poor tympaniuins
who would come into a land where
half the ammunition niado in the
United States is used. The old cor
morant also made himself very disa
greeable to all the party by eternally
grumbling about the "provido" at ho
tels and on steamboats throughout tho
whole State.
At noon we stopped at the side of
the road and partook of some more
coffee and biscuit, aud after waiting
for the mules to feed, started, and by
charging about, all the passengers had
a couple of walks during the day.
We arrived at Mr. Harvey's, Sand
Poiut, at eight o'clock p. m. haviug
made twenty-four miles in twelve
hours. This was not as fast as our
travel of the previous night, but then,
we had a heavier load.
The road over which we traveled
was oue continuous pine barren; the
trees were yellow pine, from eight
inches to a foot iu diameter, and more
scattered lhau the trees of our North
ern orchards. The land was poor,
and will not probably be settled for
years to come.
Sand Point, however, which com
prises a neighborhood of perhaps one
by five miles is composed of hammock
lands, and good pine lands, underlaid
by a loose porous sort of stone called
"Kokenu" rock. The correct way of
spelling this word we do not know.
The auts work in this rock, which is
of a yellow color, and tho heaps thrown
up by their holes betray by their color
the existence cf the rock beneath.
This land is said to be a first-class ar
ticle fur oranges. Certainly, we ate
some of the finest oranges there that it
has ever been our good fortune to get.
No ono in this neighborhood has more
than fifty bearing orange trees, and
they are therefore uot a very great
source of income.
Iu the garden of our host, Mr. Har
vey, .we saw sweet aud sour oranges,
lemons, limes and citrous, growing.
The citron resembles the lemon, but
is coarser, aud as large as a half-doz
en common lemons. This is cured
whou greeu, and is the citron of -com
merce. The limes are a unull speuies
of lemon, about tlie size of a walnut,
aud are the soure-t little thing we
know of. They nutko good lemonade.
The nauimoi'kf, which are grounds
covered with hard wood trees inter
laced with almost impenetrable vines
and underbrush, are when cleared,
very rich, and very productive. Su
gnr cane and all kinds of vegetables
are raised on these laud., and, if a
good market were handy would bring
large returns if properljr worked and
managed.
Refreshed by a good Light's sleep
and a good supper and breakfast, we,
iu company with a party of Pennsyl
vanians from Tunkhannock, weot to
church iu a primative structure which
has been erected there. The sormon
was delivered with an unction by a
northern man who is down there for
his health. The singing was pretty
good. But we were really interested
in the motion of a "swift," a small
species of lizard, which caught flies
with dexterity off the windows, and
sometimes off the coat-sleeves of some
of tho congregation !
In the afternoon Jim Russell, the
great Indian River guide and boat
man, came up to see us. He was as
drunk as a lord, aud remained so
while we were in Sand Point. This is
the man whom the Florida, book-makers
bold up for our respectful admir
ation. We tried to, but couldn't ad
mire him.
