The Virginia Scare appears to be tolcra-
bly, well maintained, though it seems that
burning grain stacks has proved too expcn-

to other and cheaper methods of keeping
up the excitement. Now, bugabOo stories
=. of large bodies of armed men mastering in
Ohio. ready to invade the Old Dominion,
are manufactured and circulated, and COM
panies of U. S. Troops are dispatched to
different places BY railroad: much to the
E-heft of the pockets of railroad stock
holders, and marched to and fro, much to
the amusement of the boys. The stories.

authenticated, but no body in Ohio has

mics. and nobody gifted with the smallest
modicum of common sense, even in the

however to be a determination to keep up

A Corner Lot Speculation,

\ correspondent of the Ashtabula Ser
tinel tells the following story, which, q
its hero is well known in this vicinity
may interest his acquaintance.
To the Editor of the Sentirel:-I mus
narrate a circumstance which came undc
my observation, the other day. which ma,
interest some of the Ashtabula Count,
folks.
In 1886, being then a resident of YOU
county. | knew of a couple of wide awak
mechanics, comprising the firm of Smalle,
& Harris, then residing at Lenox. and en-
gagged in the business of house painting, By
which they managed to pick up a poke
full of rocks in a few years. Mr.. Harris
also taught school in Eagleville severa
terms. The senior partner of this firm, il
now, | believe a merchant of your town, anG
the other partner has been for some year.
the well known editor of the Ohio Cahira
tor, at Columbus.
In 1886, all the western country went
crazy in the paper city speculation, and the
firm of Smalley & Harris caught the disor.
der and invested, with several others about
Jefferson, in a proposed city to be called
Pecatonica, situated upou a river by that
name in northen Illinois, said to be naviga-
bic for steamboats,, etc. Now the truth is,
that Pecatonica is about the size of Mills
Creek, at jefferson, but in a high state Of
water, a small steamer did run up this
creek into Wisconsin, some fifty miles above
the proposed city; so in the paper plot Of
the city there was a bold show of a broad
river, with a steamer up along side of the
town, that was to be.
Well, as | was saying-the other day |
was coming down the Galena railroad, and
among the passengers l noticed a stout
built, good natured looking individual, with
locks and beard all unshorn, OIL his way
from Galena to Chicago, busily chatting
with several passengers from further down
the State. The train was full of passen-
gers returning from the State Fair. and as
We ncared a station. the conductor sung
out-Pecatonica! If he had thrown a live

hirsute passenger, who starting to his feet
and glancing an eye out of the window at
the now smart little town. repeated not very
gently-"PecutOnica? Well by George
Let's see, twenty-three years ago | bought
corner lots in Pecatonica and run
ming his eye over the well-built squares of
the town, he added with emphasis-"And

Then settling back in his seat and wiping
the sweat from his bald pate, a gentleman
from Chicago asked how he made out in
his speculation:-.Why," said he, with a
troll sort of laugh sold the whole con-
,ern for a pair of kip boots,-but | didn't
think then. l should ever see the city of
Pecatonica."
There was a very audible smile in that

CONTESTED SEAT IN CoNGREsS.-The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
San says:
Mr.. Logan, the defeated republican an
didate for Congress from Oregon, has given
notice that he will contest the election of
Mr.. Stout, the returned member. Should
the republicans obtain the asccndancy in
the House, they may put Mr.. Logan in
Mr.. StOut's scat, and thus secure the vote
Of another State, in case the election comes
before the House. The admission of Kansas
will give them another State. 1t is true
the Senate may resist the admission of
Kansas, upon the ground that her State
constitution was not framed in accordance
with the English bill, but it is hardly prob
able.

WARREN. WEDNESDAY, NOV. so
Congress-.

Tomorrow the session of Congress CON
nlenccs, and We shall look forwerd to tn
action of the two Houses during the com
ing winter, with great interest. From tn,
fact Aat the Administration party are IL
a minority. and the Administrator is in
great want Of money, it sccrrs probable that
the friends of Mr.. Buchanan VIII be leSS
factious than usual, and viii not be dis
posed to throw many obstacles in the way
of an early organization of Congress.
The Republicans, proper. have not a
majority: although they Will oStHe#be
the regular Democracy,-as the members
Of the Buchanan wing style themselves
We do not see that the Republicans have
much to gain, in the House, by the cleo
fiOn Of a Republican Speaker. If they
should elect a Speaker and control the or
y1nization of the Committees, the party
will come in for a Share of the credit which
belongs to the present Administration, and
mo where else, of having emptied the ma
ttional treasury and saddled the country
'with:a heavy debt. We say, let the Ad-
ADMINISTRATION of Mr.. Buchanan bear Its own
burdens. 1t has depleted the treasury, let
it gil it 1t has contracted a heavy debt;
lett pay it O. siik underline odium whicE
it deserves.
There seems to be little doubt but that
the question of slavery, in som of its CON-
:plicationsswiIl engrOss more than its usual
share Of attention. 1The ultra prO-slavery
Democrats seem determined to demand
moro and more legislation to favor the
Shareholder, spread the area of the peculiar
institution and to intrude more and more
fuToa the rights Of the citizens of the Free
States. If this shall prove to be as much
the case in the halls of Congress as the
speeches and writings of its politicians in
dictate. there will be- warm; scssiOn, for the

The newly discovered deposits of Oil in
the Eastern part of Crawford county, Pa,
continue to attract public attention. Two
of our citizens visited Titusyille. the place
where the Oil is found, last week, and re-
turned with samples of it. Our readers
will recollect that this Oil was found is
suing from a assure in the rock on the bank
of 4 small creek. and early in the past sea-
son a shaft was sunk, and at the depth of
sixty-ninc feet. Oil was fonnd in apparent
ly inexhaustible quantities. About forty
barrels of Oil is pumped daily from this
well, and which it is said finds a ready
market. More recently another shaft has
been sunk and Oil at the depth of seventy
feet found. Arrangements are now ma
king for the sinking of other shafts; indeed,
We learn that the land in the vicinity is
eagerly sought for by companies, and cor
ner lots and oil springs are up to a high
figure. Biologists tell us that underneath
this rock where the Oil is found are large
deposits of coal, and that for ages this oil
has been collecting from it.-Connea,a
