OM DErnsyrns.—Therelnib bean considerable
discussion in thenewiPatiers in , regard to the
origin of the :oil depositea in North. Western
:Pennsylvania. Some are of:the opinion that
they are the products of coal beds, but the, bet
ter opinien seems to be that they, Are produced
from the'.tiecortiposition' of the 'carboniferons
skates which lie below the coal deposifes.—
They Who are,of this opinion assume that pe.
troleum and natural gas are prodUced (rein the
same tense, and that these as fir as known are
outside of or in the..extreme edge of the coal
depoiitos—and If within them they:are. „only'
reached., at great depths. The • natural gas
which ia.burnt at liemtwa, Virginia, and Fre
&Min and Niagara Falls,
New York ; and, th e .
oil springs arid; Welli at llenstWa, Thick Creak,
Ohio, Seneca LakeiNew York, And Ojlcraek in'
this State; are outside' of . the' teal regions:—
So else; it is said'Oirelthese in Franae,' India;
.and the West Indies. They ,elaim that the
`contract-of these shales containing carbonifer
ous Matter with iron pyrites produce heat
sullicient.to give out the.oil and gas as . found. in
nature; If this theory be the correct .one, oil
will not probably be obtained in this neighbor
hood except at a.great'depth:—./Ifer car, Whig..
