immortalizcdHary Daw, who sold her bed and
laid on straw, accompanying the reference with
an unpleasant personal allosiou to Mary, chiefly
in relation to her personal habits in 80 doing.
Margaret Flanuery did worse than that on We'd

the apartment Of her neighbor Mrs. Dawson and
stealing IN armfnl Of beddingto make her straw

il New Source OF Nealth.-Thc OIL
Tradee

We sec by The pittsburg papers, that there is
considerable excitement in that region ofcoun-
try, respecting a subteranean reservoir Of oil
which has been recently discovered. Compa-
nies arc engaged in digging wells to obtain oil.
When procured in its crude state it sells for
60 cents more per gallon. 1sdoes not cost more
to pump it up than cent per gallon and cents
more per gallon will pay for barrels and trans
portation 10 Pittsburg. New York or Phlladel-
phia. The refined oil is sold at much higher
figure. This oil is petroleum, bitumiaous
substance, which Is fouad floating on the water
Of springs. The excitement does not appear 10
be altogether speculative, though possibly that
may hare something to do with the published
accounts. Que singular fact is mentioned in
connection with these oil pits. In many places
in the valley OF Oil Creek the gxouud is covered
with pits, hundreds and thousands Of them eyi-
IDENTIFY dug for the purpose Of gathering oil, and
at period SO remote that trees a50 years Old
are growing ovcr them. The query is, By whom
were these pits dug, and for what purpose was
the oil gathered!
