The Wonders Of OildOm..M Moro
Strikes.

The oil excitement still continues unaba.
ted in the Venago region, and but little
notice is taken of anything but "mammoth
wells" and 'immense fortunes" Of this
character is the following, from the last
number of the Franklin Citizen:
A fountain we'll was opened on the
Buchanan farm, on Saturday week, which
has thrown Oilville and the mouth of Oil
Creek, generally into feverish state of ex'
citement. 1t yielded during the first week.
without the aid OF pump, abovt $50 bar
rels of oil, about 25 or 80 of which, were
wasted before the we'll became managea-
Bile. Curtis & Co., the fortunate proprie-
ors, have certainly made grand strike.
The Knapp well, near it, again over
flowed on Friday last, and threw out some
so barrels before it stopped. The Wads-
worth we'll also started another overflow on
Friday night, and on Saturday was still
yielding at the rate of 40 or so barrels in
"a hours. Itflowed in waves of regular
pulsations at intervals of about five seconds.
The blowing of this well was as strong
and loud as the blowing off steam on a
steamboat, and could be distinctly heard
half-mile. Indeed, this entire section
seems to have been recently visited by an
oil-quake of great severity. An eye.wit-
ness vouches for the truthfulluess of these
account.

ly under the operation until the magistrate
was laying the damsel under obligations to
her husband.
"Say no more about that, sir" said the
half-made husband-''if this hand remains
upon my body, I'll make her obey mel"
"Are we married yeti" said the expected
maiden to the RATHER of covenants between

"No," said the wondering justice.
"Ah! very well" said she 1--WE will finish
the remainder tomorrow" and away skip

How TO LOOK YoUNe.-How is it that
some men thought to be so old, still look
so young; whilst others thought to be so
young, must still look old! The cause
lies very frequently within themselves
Mr.. Rant once, on being asked the reason,
said:
"I never ride when l can walk; I never
eat but one dish at dinner, and never get
drunk. My walking keeps my blood in
circulation; my simple diet prevents indi-
gestion; and never touching ardent spirits.
my liver never fears being eaten up alive"
But he forgot 10 add one of the greatest
causes Of all lasting youth, "a kind, unen-
vious heart" Envy can dig as deeply in
q human face as time itself.

Who Owns SOuIh b CarOlina3..An
Interesting Question.

The Toronto Globe has raised new
question, which is calculated to add fresh
interest 10 the secession excitement. That
paper says:
"Suppose that this IA dissolution of the
Union) is consummated, some curious ques-
tions will arise with regard to the national
standing of the seeding States. Great
Britain has recognized the national inde-
pendence of the United States. But does
that necessarily involve the recognition of
the nationality of South Carolina, for ex-
ample, when she ceases to form part of the
Union? Her colonial relations to Great
Britain only ceased in virtue of her being
merged in the United States, whose indie
pendence was recognized by the Mother
country. When she ceases, then, to form
part Of that nationality, does she not By
the law of nations, revert to her former
position Of colonial dependence on Great
Britains
In the year 1929 the British Govern
ment, for the sum of 21s,5OO, purchased
the Carolinas from companyof merchants.
When no longer under the egis of the
American flag, will they not again in the
nature of things become the property of
Great Britain 2 England may find it aoorM
her Dhile to produce her old title deeds to
the cotton producing territories tn the
South. Her manufactures from so impor-
tant an element 10 the well being of her
people, that it IS not Convenient for her to
be dependent on foreigners for her cotton
supplies. Her manufactures from so i'm
portant an element 10 the well being of
her people, thata is not Convenient for her
to be dependent on foreigners for her cot
ton supplies. Moreover, in the interests of
of humanity, it would be well that the
Southern as well as the Northern portion
of this continent should be British. Slav-
cry would not long erist under British rule,
and with free Republic in the center OF
the continent, bounded north and south BY
free British colonies, the future of North
America might be looked to by tie friends
of human progress with the most cheering
