The Custom at Dahomey.

According to the last advices from AT
rica, another of those diabolical massacres
which are a stigma On civilization, was
about to be carried into effect at Dahomey
The cannibal king was going to have an
other grand custom This sacrifice is TO
celebrate the new yam season, and the
preparations were to have been of the most
complete character All the principal ma
tiyes and traders at Lagos he'd received in
vitations to be present to witness the cere-
moDy of cutting off the heads Of about two
thousand human beings. ..-.... ,.
From this it would appear that the pro-
test lately made against such acts of bar
barism by the British Government, through
the late Mr. Consul Foote, has had no eff
feet on the King of Dahomey and the
general opinion appears TO be that, until
His Majesty is disposed of by summary
or other means, this reign of terror will
not abate. The cultivation of the country
around Dahomey down to the very sea
coast, was neglected in consequence OF the
observance Of these cruelties Hunting
parties had been sent out to capture from
the neighboring tyibcs the unhappy vic
tins for the sacrifice,

The double Fuschias have been greatly
improved, both in habit, vigor Of the plant,
and size Of the A5wers. Some of the new
French and Belgian kinds are very remark
able, especially .Solferino, which is nearly
as large as a moderate sized rose; truly as
tonishing in its dimensions. \ new Eng

monstrous flowers. Other new and fine
French sorts are Duchess de Br-bant, Victor

In the absence of any interesting in
formation with regard to the oil bust,
ness of this section. we take the follow
ing from our exchanges:
AmWe learn from private sources,
says the Marietta MtelAgencer, that
on Monday morning of last week, a
we'll owned, it is said, by Harper Bal
lard & Co., of Athens, Ohio, on Burn
ing Spring Run, on the Kanawha,
struck oil. The oil spouted out fifteen
feet. They had much difficulty in stop
ping the flow, and it burst out again
several times after it was weighed down
and then tied with ropes. They filled
forty seven barrels, all they could get,
in less than two hours time, while the
sinker or plug was only loosened about
an inch, They are confident that the
well will yield from 500 to 900 barrels
day The oil is thicker than any
heretofore found on Kanawha, and it is
thought that the we'll is better than the
Leweyllyn.
OIL Lenses.
The following item may be interest
ing to those making leases in Virginia.
All leases for term of more than
three years must be acknowledged like
deed, and recorded within six months
To be valid all the names of each of the
parties must be included in the lease,
and it must be signed by all of them.
The McConnellsville Enquirer says
Since our last issue two new wells have
been struck on Wolf Creek, reported to
be of the best quality Of oil. More re-
cent explorations have discovered new
indications of oil on Doudna run, a
short distance from town, on the west
side. In our own immediate vicinity
the Fisher well still continues to aston
ish all who visit it. 1t continues to
pour fourth an immense quantity of the
purest oil. More by far than the
most sanguine expected. There is no
guessing what it's intrinsic value is in
dollars and cents
Edwards, Wilson & Co., tive struck
rich lead of Oil ON the Fair ground.
1t is not yet known how much it will
yleiu, Dut euouSu Is huoWu W just
ify US in saying that it will pay. 1t is
perhaps fifty barrel, or it may be even
more. 1t is the best show that has
been found here yet.
The Beaver (Pa.) Argus says:
We learned last evening that the
Thompson we'll at Smiths Ferry, had
given out, or in other words that no oil
had been pumped since Monday, moth
ing but copious flow of water following
the working of the pump. We learn
from the same source that the we'll of
Patton, Fcnlon and Shaw has increased

taken out averaging seventeen per day.
This well is over two hundred feet in
depth, while that of Thompson Il Co.,

a few days since an eighth interest in the
latter we'll purchased for S400 had been
sold for 5000, another share was sold
for 900, and another for $4,000.
