OIL.-There is no doubt that oil exists in
large quantities in this vicinity.-A tract OF
land bearing unmistakable evidence ofthe pres
enee OF the "luhricator," has been been leased
by responsible firm who are to commence
boring in short time.--Hancock JEFFERSON.
Nature adpats itself to the locality. Light is
needed in Hancock County, and "thc uurnistak
able evidence of the presence of the "lubricator"
in the region of Findlay, is evident that out OF
darknes the light is to spring from the bowels
of the earth. We have heard it intmated that
the Findlylts have touched in their boring pro-
cess the axle upon which this globe Of ours re-
wolves, and have tapped the oil reservoir
provided by the great architect of the univers,
for lubricating the gudeons upon which the
world revolves. Experimenting Chemists have
examined the gas escaping from the upper
strata of the earth, and pronounced it of quail
ity equal to any found in the most celebrated
oilregicns of the country The only difficulty
in the way of the coil" scheme being decided
success in Findlay, is that the "lubricator" being
drawn from the great central tank that preserv-
es the axle of the universe from taking fire. for
illuminating purposes on terra firma, will from
too much friction gnite the parts and from the
centre will come blaze tnat will wait in flames
the world of either, and set aglow confagra-
ticn that will wind up the affairs Of the world,
and Fihdlay will be like unto the cities Of So
dom and Gommora.

MERIToRloUs CONDUCT.

Among that distinguished number who by meri-
torious conduct have placed their names upon the
"Roll of Honor" will be found the name of Ser
geant ]. S.. McCurdy, of company K, 7th Regt.,
n G. Troops His name well deserves the hon
ored position 1t occupies and his valuable services
in this war cannot be too highIyappreciated. Al
though youth Of but sixteen years. he enlisted in
the second company that lift his native county,
(Alexander,) aud has been constant and faithful
soldier of his country ever since He followed his
company and regiment into the battle at NeTberns
and going to the army Of Virginia he has passed
safely through all the hard fought battles from the
seven days struggle around Richmond, to the
almost inaccessible heights of Gettysburg Out of
seventy odd old members of the company, who left
their homes nearly three years ago, with high
hopes and brilliant expectations nsrved With pa
triotsm aud fired with enthusiasm, only fifteen OF
that number am informed, are left to tell the sad
tale. Some have fallen by disease, some by the
fatal bullet-others wounded are incapable OF rem
:dering further service to their country.
Sergt McCurdy Is one of that fortunate few who
has thus far passed through the fiery ordeal of bat
/ tie, unharmed. He has wonderful constitution,
aud is almost stranger to sickness, Possessing
willing disposition, he is always foand at bis post
ready and willing to perform any. duties that may
be'imp0Sed upon him, however arduois and dam
gsrous- Naturally fond of sdveutureei he seems to
glory in an active military iife-wnether around
the camp fire, laughing and passing jokes with his
fellow comrades, of which he is exceedingly fond
or marching to the field of bs tie where the deaf
ening roar Of cannon and ra,tle of musketry tell but
too plainly that the struggle has commenced, anc
that he, with his eonn@ lions, must soon measure
arms with the enemy IN deadly conflict he never
theess possesses tho same cheerful disposition
Full of life himself e seems to impart new hfe t
others. GlootA or dependency seem never to res

position, good and generous heart and agreeabl
