On repairing to the spit, it was found that, after several months labour he had succeeded in sink ing a well to tho depth ot SI 3 feet, having but litt le or no eno uraircnient but hi own persevering and fixed opiu. ion. li is motto wo believe was, "oil or tea," and we have the pleasure of say ing that he succeeded in the former and willingly abandoned the later. Many false statements han "one abroad with regard to tho oil nrosne.cts of Klk county, but in tho present case, fJ'torial in a late Clearfield Picpublicau ged to bear his share of the public bur. we wish to say candidly to our reader, w'''oh it was claimed that Luthe.rs- den according to his ability, that no humbug or lying is necessary. 1,,,r the proper place and the con.

Ulakely explained the action of reason why the patriotic men who cli ches, when a very strong tras was found too delegates at Luthcrsburg, showing listed in 1SG I and '62 should be placed to emit from tho well.

In our opinion the only cause of tlio oil not :it (.nee flowing is. that when ihe ,-.-,.: I,, tl,e dei.tli of -131' feet a strong siream oi wa.er was ,...i ,..... continued to flow ever since, and con. sequcntlv the heavy pressure of water would prevent the oil from raising.
