EsCULAPIANIsM.-The Paririe Du Chen
Courier afirms that the following anecdotes of
a Wisconsin doctor, were recently told by a
couple OF the peoples servants, comfortably
seated by comfortable fire, who were occu-
larly and auricuarly known to the editor of the
aforementioned paper:
SHERIFF ----" Well, as to to the code that
governs the practice of physicians here a-bouts,
don't claim much knowledge, but up north;
we have doctors who employ novel remedies.
ana no mistake. Now there was Jake D. up
ON the kickapoo, he cut his foot badly. and
called IN DIR. SO SO, to staunch the bleeding
The doctor prescribed an emetic. Jake was vom-
tied until he tainted, and then the blood wouId
cease to how-of course. After a little, Jake
would revive, the blood begin to flow freely,
ana the DIR. would put down another dose
OF emetlc and Jake would faint again. These
falntlng spells the doctor called ''fits." Finally
exhausted from loss of blood, Jake tainted for
good-ded, The doctor waited quite long
time, at last turned round to the dead mans
nends with startled look and exclaimed
what COMPOUNDED queer fit that is,"
JUDGE "Yes, recollect something about
that- the whole affair came up before the Grand
Jury. de Is the same man that Dr. What-do-
you-call-him asked in to advise with. 1t seems
that Dr. W. had very sick child under his care
afflicted with some chronic disease, and hearing
that Dr. $3.50 aoouId cure anything he called
him in for counsel S. came stumping into the
house, Immediately enquiring in his gruff voice,
whats the matter with the child ~ Dr. W.
began to state his reasons for calling in eid, say
ing the case was difficult one, and that he was
not thoroughly posted in the knowledge of anat-

The Oil Wells of virginia,

Parkersburg, Va, Jan. 20, 1861.
The excitement appertaining to the discovery
of coal oil in this city is greatly on the increase
On tract of land one and half miles long
there are three oil wells in operation, one of
which (the "Rathbone") yields 300 barrels per
diem. 1t takes one hunered and thirty coopers
to keep 1T in barrels. One other yields 40 bar
rels daily, and another 20; two others are ready
for their engines, and are assured of generous
yield.
The last well finished is owned by Mr. Llew-
eller. At the depth of 100 feet two inches he
struck vein of oil, which forced his boring
tools out of the well. Then followed a stream
of oil the full size of the orifce CD inches, and
it was forced into the air full fifteen feet Two
workmen seized plank and endeavored to Gov
er it, but the oil forced it out of their hands-
They finally took the anker and wrapping it
with rags, forced it in the orifce, and weighed
it down. This well, without pumping will yield
a barrel of oil minute. This is sober truth,
extravagant as it may scem.-Zanesuille, o.,

There was arming where it passed:
Foemens sails made white the sea,
Foemen's flags waved Borgeously,
And their horsemen swept amain
Down the hill and DER the plain.

Brave men gathered everywhere

And the heart that led them on

NOW again the trumpet blast
Direful through the land has passed,
