recourse to stimulants. 1t is important,

ba-MoRE ARoUT Olive yesterdaayl ]

EE-MoRE ABOUT Olive yesterday
had talk with Mr.. A. Pollock, who has
lust returned from the oil region ON the
Ksnawha river, and who is one of a com.
pauy recently formed in this city, for the
purpose of penetrating tho bowels of Writ
county, after grease, fabrication and light.
Mr.. P. reports state Of affairs down era
which will asIonish our readers. He re-
ports that hundreds lof advCnturers arc
erOwding into tue oil region from New
York, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh the re-
ports of the existence of the grease having
reached the shrewd ears of the spectators
OfthOse cities. Along Burning Spring Run
aud at the Horse Shoe Bend, of tue Kan.
aWha, there are not less than I've hundred
persons engaged in boring for oil where
there sre the slightest indications sof the
existence 0fthe article, and the scene pre-.
seuted may be likened unto the great
washOs country, with its camps, its ma.
chineFy, aud its whisky. The road from
Petersburg to the Burning Springs is
like Jordan, hard one to. travel, The
mud is about as deep as a small man, and
the way must be travelled, at least good
part Of II, on foot, so that It Is very encour-
aging to one who desires to cultivate an
ArkaHsaw leg. There is one well, sunk bv
NJ. Llewelleu, of New York, which Mr..
Pollock thinks is capable of producing six
hundred barrels of oil per day. From
this well there. is a constant fow and a
good deal of the oil is wasted for want of
barrels to catch it.. Many other wells are
producing abuudantly, but none in such
extraordinary quantities as the LleweIlen
we'll. Hundreds of men are engaged in
boating the oil down the Kauawha and
bringing back the barrels. Although there
is no accommodation for man or beast
about the oil region, there is busy and
active scene presented in a country which
was heretofore wilderness. Political
topics are never mentioned. You hear
nothing of cotton, or niger, or anything
Of that sort. Oil is king and whisky is
next best power, aud as mean IN article
ms was ever packed on mule back into the
WashOe country, If any of our readers
want to visit the oil region, of which we
have been speaking, they must go prepared
to meet some such condition of things as
We have attempted to describe.

and twelve o'clock Mr. II. and his wife
were awakened by a tremendous noise, as
if the house was being torn to atoms, and
Immediately spraug from the bed. The
room was fllsdawtth smoke, and from the
smell of powder, Mr.. h. at once thought
something had been thrown into the room.
His first precaution was to fee into the
rear room which adjoined, and the door of
which had been left open, fearing that more
would be thrown in, noticing the open
window. Discovering that the bed in
which the boys were sleeping was on Ere,
and that even the hair of one of them was
burning, he put out the flames, and With
lis wife and four children, none of whom,
wonderful as it may seem, were injured,
retired to another part of the house.
Returning to the room he found it com
plete wreck, the sash, glass and venitian
blind of the corner window having been
Shivered to atoms, and even a portion of
the lower casting forced Inside. The glass
and fragments of wood were scattered
about in every direction through the front
and rear room. Going QUITO the porch,
he found lit a large piece of fuse yet
burning. Very few minutes snficed to
produce the conviction that most diabol.
Zeal auempt had been made to murder the
family.
Sunday morning revealed the nature OF
things moro satisfactorily, demonstrating
with terrible certainty the superlative
RendishIsss of the author or authors OF

found, must have consisted of wooden
box, about foot long and four or ave inch
es square, filed with powder aud bullets,
and a fuse attached. It had been placed
on the sill of the Window and after igni.
ting the fuse, the worse than villain pro,
baby retired convenient distance to ob.
serve the effect Of the explosion.
Theauthor of this diabolical plot was not
known though the whole police and detec,
tive force of the city are on his track.
