It-has, for many years, been a well known fact that in several of the Western counties of the State, Venango, Crawford, Warren, Erie, and perhaps parts of Mercer, Butler and Arm strong, there exist large natural deposits of what is commonly known as petroleum, or rock oil, found chiefly in localities where there are saline Waters. Several years ago a gentle man of this city, at some expense, erected the necessary , machinery for taking out the oil, whichwas.rellned, barreled, and sold as a burn inst discovering that it was a valua ble outward application for burns, scalds and bruises, and as a liniment - generally, as well as an internal remedy_for lung and other diseases, he also sold large qUantities., bottled, for medi cinal purposes. , The - speculation turned out well, but was .strangely neglected by others with equal facilities. In many.localities in the counties named, es pecially- on small streatns, these deposits exhib ited themselves;-more abundantly, perhaps, on a little stream, rising. - in the hills of that re gion, running through Crawford and Velum go counties, and emptying into the Allegheny seven miles above Franklin, which, from the circumstance, was called "Oil Creek." On this creek is situated a small lumber town, of a few hundred inhabitants, called Titusville, where a company of Eastern capitalists have for a long timeleen operating in lumber, floating it down the creek, at high water, to the 411es - bery. The rock oil here issues from springs in the hill side, and spreads over the euriace of the creek in large pools; in winter it BCCUlllllltitin in quantities and freezes into solid masses, which the residents have been in the habit or cutting out, for many years, and 1 after it-crude refining process for burn ing. These deposits have been, until recently, considered of little value, but it having been 1 'disboYered that the oil is applicable to a variety of useful, purposes, a well was sunk by a Mr. Drake,-alumber dealer of Titusville, near that'. place, which produces forty barrels per day of the oil, at &small cost, bringing him a fair price, and yielding, of course, a large profit. The L'aeceis of Mr. Ilriike's experiment, and the golden harvest he is ;athering from the bowels of the earth has stimulated - enterprise in the same direction, and the "oil fever" has apread fat: and wide, - over this portion of the State. Prospecting parties are out in various directions,. where the deposits are supposed or known to, exist, 'and companies have been formed with::the object of boring for, gather ins:, refining and selling the oil. Some of these companies have been successful in their first object. and are now erecting the necessary machinery for the prosecution of the remain- 1 der. Springs have been followed to their I sources, old salt wells cleaned out, and new ' wells bored, resulting in the dhcovery of ffpuntjant apositslii the vicinity of Franklin, Mtaidville, Titusville, and other places. The excitement is , increasing, and numbers are daily embarking in the new enterprise. Some twenty firms- and companies are now engaged in these operations, among them several capi talists from this city.' Messrs. Graff & Co. are at work near the mouth of Oil Creek; they have found springs arid are now boring with indications of success; they have put up an engine for pumping out the oil. Messrs. Brewer, Watson & Co., some two miles above the month of the creek, have struck a vein and are taking out oil, with prospects of an increased yield. James P. Hoover, of Frank lin, is also engaged in boring, and has met with good success. Other oil springs have been discovered ,on Gordon's run, on the Messrs. Wallace's laud, near Tideoute, in Warren county. Messrs. Crandon & Dennis have struck a vein which is proved to be equal 'to any in that section of the country. Others cve actively employed, and the investment promises to be 'a: paying one for all engaged. Three .engines for prosecnting the business were shipped to Franklin on Saturday, and others ati being constructed. These discoveries, if, as is probable, they are of as much importance as they now promise to - to be, will have the effect of attracting capi talists to this portion of the State. The barren hills, rocky defiles and mountain streams of this vicinity will acquire a new interest, as the prospect -of turning them into money in creases. 'The prosecution of this business nmst t.'eCeisarily build up towns in the 110TSPargelY settled distriols; . turnpikes, and, if 'practicable, railroads will be Made, and it will be a new era in the history of these backwoods settlements. The country is well timbered, but the difficul ty of taking it to a market has heretofore been an obstaele which will prohably be removed by .these developments. Something was re quired to bring the region into notice, and this seems to be the means, under the direction of Providence. Other diScoverie.s will doubtless t- follow of equal importance, and tints what has always been called a barren and poverty strick en district, may soon rise to wealth and impel , Lance. - -- SEPIOIIS ACCIBEN r. —A lad named James Dooker, only twelve years old, was taken to the hospital of Dr. Walters on Saturday even ing, from Brinton's station, with his left thigh crashed and lacerated by being run over by the Accommodation Train of the Pennsylvania Railroad near Turtle- crock, .on . Friday last. The bo- N *V . ., on the train, intending to do an errand at Hraddock's station, and, jumping off befpre the train had stopped, he fell, when two w 1 is passed over the limb. His conditimb is critical in the extreme, though with the care and attention he will receive at the Hospital he may recover. . - t-'4 CONVICTED.-Stephen Liggett was tried last week at Cleveland, for passing counterfeit money, and convicted. Ho is now in jail awaiting sentence. An effort was made by the defence to.show that, in passing counter feit money, be was acting under the direction of -Chief of. Police Hague, for tho purpose of sec - tiring evidence against, other parties, but that officer being called to the stand, testified that hiS connection with Liggett had ceased, and that he bad been acting.on his own h00k..- Ixs STIP:ETS.—The rain, hail, snow, sleet and thaw of Friday, Saturday and Sunday, bare not only had a gloomy effect upon the at mosphere and business prospects of our city, but a very deplorable, though not unusual, ef fect upon our streets, for all the thoroughfares ate embellished with a thick coating of mud, entirely hiding the boulders, and inducing speculation as to the depth at which they could be found. If the appropriation .for street cleaning is not entirely exhausted, it would be well to apply a portion of it to remedying this unsightly and. uncomfortable state of the high ways. Let the street commissioner do his duty. , - --T „„ FINALLY COUMITTEp.ho Alayor- yeter day lodged' final commitments against William Patch and James Brown, for assault and bat tery with - intent to' kill; on John Hively, Jr. Another charge ofassault.and.batteT y again Patch, on oallaNit4rlbieiite=tlinilithor e , is also to be tried at the next term. r7l' Zfi.e Pttil4-.-Pil_st.

The heavy ruins at the close of the week, with the thaw on Saturday, had the effect of producing a "coal boat rise "in the river. It was anticipated, and at an early hour on Mon day morning the wharf presented an appear ance of unwonted activity. Fleets of coal boats were moored above the bridge, boat hands thronged the wharf, and the boat stores were up to their eyes in business, furnishing the fleet with stores. On Saturday and Sunday several tow boats, with their usual complement of barges, got off, and others on Monday. Some thirty or forty pair of boats got off yesterday. It is estimated that about two hundred pairs. one hundred from the upper, and one hundred from the lower pool, carrying between 700,- 000 and 1,000,000 bushels of coal will get out. Of these the Messrs. Watson own ten pairs, Jones & Cooley, seven pairs, McClosky, Cos grave & Co., seven pairs, S. Dilworth & Co , five pairs, Fawcett, fire pairs, Dravo & Co., two pairs. We will be enabled to give a more complete list after they go out. As there are twelve feet water in the channel and rising, there will be no difficulty in all the coal ready for market getting oil and reaching its desti nation. The rise will be a God-Send to our neighbors down the river, who Stood much "in need of our "black diamonds," ;while the re turns of their sale will put money in our pock ets. Of course the "floating population" of our city will bo affected by this coal boat hiegira, as each pair carries about twenty men, making, in the aggregate, four thousand men. If the rise should hold out, this may hare a marked influence on the election fur the Mayoralty, and it will undoubtedly have an ellCct on the primary meetings, especially in the Third ward, where many of these coalboatmen re side. --- • Tut FIRE FUND.—We gave, a few dayS since, the outlines of a bill under considers= tion by a joint committee from the fire cOmpa nies of the city, for the , purpose of raising a fund with which to erect an efficient fire or. ganization in our city, to bo presented to the next Legislature for its consideration.

The gift book system, when honestly conducted, as it most assuredly is by Clarke, who is the father Of the system, is very far from being a lottery, since there are no blanks and nothing is left to chance. Each book has a gift attached to it, which is not charged. It may be worth one, two, and three, fifteen and twenty dollar):.. The buyer, to be sure, does not know exactly of what value this book will be, but he is sure, j at all events, to get the worth of his money both in books and the gift attached. Mr. Clark has a large variety of most excellent works, and wo have yet to see the first one which has an immoral tendency. The gifts make them go off briskly, and the store is con- stantly crowded. Let those wltt have not yet purchased visit the establishment, and give the system a fair trial The outlay need not be largo in order to test the liberality and lion- ; esty which wo believe characterizes all the dealings of this house. Please remember tho place, No. 63 Market 'street, between Third and Fourth streets.
