The Oil Lusiuccs. -
Tho following from tho Oil City A'cy
hcr will give Bomo idea ol tho amount
of teaming; dono there: "Fur ceveral
days during the recent good order of tho
mads, then bavo been on almost contin
uous train of wagnna loaded with oil.
traveling on the road from Cherry Ran
'o Franklin, a di.stanco of over twelvo
miles. Justthink of it reader. A train
of wagons loaded with tho product of
one single township in this Stato, over
twelve mljcs in length. And this ton,
only from a portion of the producing;
locality of this same township. For it
is reasonable to suppose that the amount,
of oil being supplied to tho Rhafer Farm,
and other rail road poioti, is equally as
great. The load for these wagons U
generally seven barrels, and tho weight
of a barrel of oil is about 300 pounds.
In view of this immense daily traffic
carried on by means of wheeled vchi.
cles, is it ar:y wonder that our roads
here soon become impassable ? No
road could long stand such wear and
tear, without constant extensive'repairs.
If, therefore, our roads, and even the
main street of Oil City, which i.i tho
great thorougfarc, should appear almost,
impassable to the denizens of other pla
ces, they mu.n'tako into consideration
that a good reason for it exists."

The price of gold is falling, and'thia
lime it is no fluctuation or delusion.
Those who have thrown away their con
federate money to hold a little gold, nnd
those who have speculated on the disas
ters of their country are about to re
ceive a terrific lesson. The government
has no great amount of notes in circula
tion, amPthc assets of the confederacy
will redeem every cent of its obligations.
Why should thoso ' assets bo buriod
where tho enemy may ono day scizo
them in a lump, instead of being distrib;
utod in circulation when no great portion
of them can bo lost even iu the worst
event. Confederate money and the for
tunes of the confederacy will soon rise
together. The downward tendency of

tho man of her choico recently, found
hetsulf to bosistcr.in.law to her father,
aunt to her brothers, sister to her uncle,
daughter to her grandfather, and great

bo a terrible family to marry into.
