Boring an Olt Wen.—The following is a
summary of the little difficulties to be encoun
tered in boring an oil well: In selecting a spot
for an oil well the artesian driller raises a der
rick timut one hundred and ten feet to height,
brings up a steam engine of about six horse pow.
er, and then, after driving down about six inch
es in diameter through the earth and gravel
some fifty feet or so to the first strata of rock,
Introduces a drill of about two and a half inches
in diameter attached to a temper screw, and
thence to the "walking beam" and engine, with
which he bores now at the rate of eight or ten
feet per day into the solid slate and- soapstone,
say one hundred feet; he then comes to the first
strata of sandstone, whibh may be ten or twelve
feet thick, and bDring through this comes again
to elate and soapstone of a blueish east, and
working on say for twenty-five feet or so, he
reaches the second strata of sandstone, out of
which there comes a rushing up, when the right
vein is struck, inflammable gas, salt water and
petroleum.
The bore of the well is. enlarged by an instru
ment called a "rlmmer;" ; and then an iron tube,
in sections of about fourteen feet and closely
screwed together, is inserted by sections and run
down to the veins of oil; a flaxseed bag, which
expands when wet, is Hied between the tubing
and the walls of the welldn order to prevent the
surface water from descending; a "plunger" or
valved piston is introduced into the tube, and
the sucker rod being attached to the "walking
beam," the connuit pipet' and tank, which may
hold sixty barrels, being in readiness, the engine
moves and the precious treasure gushes forth.
This is what 19 called pumping a well. In tho
flowing wells, that is such as send the oil out
spontaneously, the drill Must go down into the
third strata of the sandstiane, but this, in some
instances, Is very deep.
Yet, notwithstanding all these obstacles in
the way of obtaining possession of the hidden
treasures beneath, and which would place one
of our richest resources as far out of the reach
of man as the hidden treaeures of the deep were
it not for machinery, oil is, always in abundance.
The profits accruing front the sale of the pre
cious liquid amply rep'hy the labors and expen •
diture which the speculator may have to meet
in boring the well, and therefore he put hee for
ward his enterprise with a will and determina
tion worthy of the (11db:dines he has to encoun
ter.
Petrifaction.—A singular discovery was
made on Friday last, in Monongahela City.
Parties engaged in exhuming the bodies of the
Mercer family for removal from the old grave
yard - to the city cemetery, found the body of
Mr. J. B. Mercer in a singular state of petrifac
tion. The graves of Mts.' Mercer and the two
children on each side, were about sixteen inches
lower than that of their father, yet, while their
bodies had returned to dust and were perfectly
dry, his grave was tilled with water, and his
body tuned to stone. Mr. Mercer wan drowned
to May, 1843, at what is called the old wharf,
and his body, remaining in the river for eighteen
days, was found "on the 411110 near Parkin-
Bon's ; he was forty-five years of age, and was
buried on the hill in the grave above described.
Through the kindness of Mr. Filson we were
permitted to examine the body closely. It Wall
solid and firm, turned to stone, from the ankle
joints to the neck; the feet had fallen oft; and
were mouldered to dust, but the head, which
had also fallen off, was petrified ; and the hair
was well 'preserved. The body was solid, and
upon being struck, gave out a dead, heavy
sound; the petrifaction was so perfect that the
pones of the skin were distinct, and the proper,
Lions of the form well preserved. This has
been attributed by many to the length of time
the body remained in the water before inter
- merit. As petrifaction is never caused by in
ternal action, but is always the result of ex
ternal deposits and eurroundings, this theory
cannot explain the circurnsttces fully.
Sentenced.—Joseph Proyost, who has been
confined in the military prison at Wheeling for
some time, a day or two since read red his sen
tence, which condemns him to be hung. He is
charged with murdering one:of his companions
while a number of his company were out on a
scout in one of the border collates of Western
Virginia. Provost is a member of a New York
regiment, in which he has served several years.
He was tried by court-martial in Cumberland,
andhis sentence was forwarded there on Monday
list. The prisoner heard it !read without dis
playing any degree of uneasdess, and has since
then talked as freely and unconcerned as he did
before. Although he is doomhd to die in a few
days, he reads novels, and has as yet manifested
no desire for spiritual advice. He is now in
irons, where he will be kept until to-morrow
morning, when he will be sent to Oumberland.
Painful Accident.—A sad accident occur
redat the Sprigg House in Wheeling, on Wed
nesday morning, which resulted in the instant
death of Gall Hornbrook, sonl of Thomas Horn
brook, Esq., Surveyor of the Port. James
Smell, son of Dr. Brues,proprietor of the Sprigg
House, was exhibiting a revplving pistol to a
gentle -intuit to whom he wished to sell the weep
on,when his thumb accidenta i ny slipped off the
hammer and the pistol was I discharged. The
lad was sitting on a chair opposite the muzzle
4
of the weapon. The ball enured "
~_ tie fel.
lows left cheek and came oilt zr , be eye,
causing instant death. Little (' as about
eight or nine years of age, and was a very in.
teresting lad.
Pittsburghers in Ditlieulties.—A brace
of young men hailing from this city were ar
rested a few days ago in Philadelphia for smok
ing in a paasenger car, contrary to regulations,
and assaulting the conductor, who was daring
enough to notify them that they were infringing
the laws of the railway companies. They were
held in $1,009 bail to answer tbie charges. This
appears rather hard on strangers, especially
when we consider that one of the young men, in
order to exculpate himself, st that phliadel-
Ala liquor had more a power ill effect on him
than that of Allegheny city.
Hatt IF/Med.—A railroad accident occurred
on bud Tuesday night by wh4h John Rively,
of Taylor township, Cambria county, flagman
on one of tha freight trains, was killed The
train to which he belonged font it necsasary to
lie over on the track, and ail usual, Rively
went the required distance batik to signal any
train that might be following.l It is supposed
that he fell asleep while waiting, and a train
coming alminen over and orustled him in a hor

B. L. 11. Dabbs.—Our readers should pay a
visit to Mr. Habbs, on St. Clair street, in order
to i 01133 an adequate idea of the beauty, richness
and variety of the extensive and entirely new
stock of albums of all sizes which he at present
has on hand. Any lady who should wish to
purchaSe a fine album should go and examine
those of Mr. Dabba , before making purchases at
any other's,and walleye reason to say that they
will find it immensely to their advantage to do
so. A more beautiful stock was never before
seen in the city, and already his store is crowd
ed with numerous purchasers, As for his pho
tographs, they are uneurpitesed for grace, beau
ty and finish, and an ample supply of likenesses
of prominent men can be had at comparatively
low prices, and they would greatly contribute
to the beauty of a well-tilled album. Those who
have any intention of getting their photographs
taken should go immediately, as the foggy, wet •'
weather is very unfavorable for that purpose.

FROM OUR FIRST EDITION
Sheridan Pursuing the Rebels.
NEW YORK, September 23.—A
World'a specials dated Headquarters
Sheridan's army, below Winchester,
September 22d, says : The entire army
advanced at noon yesterday and took
possession of the heights on either side
of Strasburg, twenty miles below Win
chester and towards Staunton, in front
ofnt Hill. The artillery opened on
the'-'felt wing, demoralizing the enemy's
skirmish line and scattering it back. A
shot from Tyler's battery, of the 19th
corps, set fire to a barn just beyond
Strasburg soon after the firing commen
ced.
Meanwhile, the Gth Corps, which was
assigned to the business of the day, sent
forward a skirmish line consisting of
the Gth Maryland, 24th Ohio and 9th
New York regiments, of the 3d Division,
and the 95th Pennsylvania and 15th
New Jersey regiments, of the Ist Di.
vision, to develope the enemy's strength
upon, and capture if possible, a crest
forming an extention of the very formi
dable positiori held by the enemy on
Flint Hill. This line advanced hand
somely, driving the rebel line from the
foot of the crest, but no further. The
enemy stnbbornly held their own after
ward until the close of the afternoon.
The enemy refused to answer with n
single gun.
Capt. McCarthy's battery finally ad
vanced to our skirmish line on the left
of the oth corps and centre of the army,
and gave the enemy such a firing by
battery as shattered a portion of their
line, and caused it to retreat soon after.
About dusk, while the battery was still
firing, the Ist brigade of the Bcldi vision,
6th corps, charged off the extreme right,
under deadly fire, and gallantly storm
ed and carried the crest which had been
fought for unsuccesstully during the
afternoon. This closed the day's en
gagement.
The losses Of the 6th Corps in the
ILIA will probably reach 200 killed and
wounded, General Torbert, with Wil
sures and Merritt's division of cavalry,
was sent around the mountains on the
left of Early this morning. A dispatch
art iveil at this hour, stating that he has
driven the enemy's cavalry from Front
Royal, which Is siv miles beyond, and
is still advancing. General Averill
on the extreme right, and developed nr.
force ot consequence in his front during
the P. 51. lithe c nerny remains to fLtbt,
there still be at bast a sit wing ot hands
by both armies, though whether we shall
m.sault in their present itositirm remains
a question.

Interesting from Gen. Sherman,
CHATTANOOOA, September 'lt.--C,.n.
Sherman, by special arrangement with
flood, has effected an exchange of tw
thousand prisoners for a batch of nine
hundred rebels. Seventeen refu , ed t,,
be exchanged, and took the oath of all ,
glance. Out of one hundred picket men
on duty with a flag of truce at Hough
and Heady, twenty one deserted—a fair
index of Hood's army. The truce be

The Siege of Charleston
NEW Yonic, September 23.—News
from Charleston to the 111th has been
received. Our firing on the city is still
continued, and di serters report that im
mense damage has been done. The
rebel Lonitnander iitiused to allow Gen
eral Foster to send supplies to our pris
oners in Georgia. Several rebel officers
on Morris Island have expressed a de
sire to take the oath of allegiance. The
Richmond Examiner reports laree tires
in Charleston—doubtless the effect of our
shells.
Rebel View of Peace Negotiations.
NEW YORK, Septumber 23.—The
Richmond Enquirer speaking of rumor

and the authorities of Georgia, says:
The Governor of Georgia ought to rec

to secede from the Union, and that if
she now treats for peace on her own.

From New Orleans
NEw YORK, September 23.—The stea

rival from up the river gives a doubtful
rumor of the capture of Little Rock. A

sent, via Red Rivor, by flag of truce :to
Union prisoners. Hereafter no persOnit
will be arrested in New Orleans without

Sworn statement of David McCreary, of Napier
Township, Bedford County :
In April,fl&s43, as near: as I can remeMber c
small pimple made its appe,sradoe on my upper
lip, which soon becameenlarged and sore. I used
poultices of sorrel, and-Ak wash' 'litue vitrol
without effect. Finding the sore extending, .I
called on 1/r. Ely, of Shellsburg, who pronounced
it CANCER, and prescribed a weal" of sugar 'of'
lead and bread poultices. Finding these reme
dies of no avail, I called upon Dr. Shaffer, of
15 avidsville,Somerseteount y, who altiopronburt-„‘
ced the disease Cancer, and gave me internal and'
external remedies—the latter cone - biting princi
pally of caustic—but all to lao purpose, as the dis
ease oontinued spreading towards the nosec I
next used
This
of arsenic, in the fonff
of salve. This for r time checked the disease,
tut the inflammation Boon increased. I next
called upon Dr. Stutter, of St. Ulairirville-Bed
ford county, who also pronounced the disease
' Cancer, and applied a salve, said to be a never
falling remedy, but it had no effect whatever In
checking the spread of the sore. In December,
in the same year, the dliease had eaten away a
greater part of my lip, and attacked my nose
wile') I went to Cincinnati, where I consulted.
Prof. R. S. Newton, of the Electic Medical Col
lege. He, pronounced the disease. a cutaneous
Canitet;liiiielinduced by an inordinate lute of
mercury. He applied mild zinc ointment and
gave me internal remedies. My face healed up
but the inflammation was not ,thoronglily,re
moved. In February, 1857, he pronounced me
cured, and I left for home. In April, the disease
a sou
returzied,li nighlen was tae_pain that
I sward not tea ag.. Datein tieturte-'
ed to Cincinnati, and again,placed myself under
the charge of Dr. Newton, with whom I remain
ed until September, during whichtitne he used
every known remedy, and partly succeeded In
checking the disease, but when I returned home
there were still three dlicharging ulcers iiPon
my lace. I continued using Newton's prepara
tions, and also medicine that I got from Dr. Ely,
but the Cancer continued - griming until it had
eat off the left side of my nose, the greater por
tion of my left cheek. and had attacked my left
eye. hadWren_np all 49PCof ever,beAr
