HICKORY FARM OIL CoNPAsY.-T The most
wonderful discovery of modern times is
that which gave Petroleum to the world
In the suddenness and vastness of its reve-
latons of wealth, 1t rivals and far exceeds
:he El Dorados of California and Australia
while, instead of being separated from civ
ilization by mountains, plains, deserts, and
seas, the fields of wealth lie almost under
our noses. What wonder, then, at the vast
influence which Petroleum swsys over the
social, manufacturing, financial, CONNER
cial and speculative world? What wonder
at the excitement and interest which the
subject has aroused? Companies for work
ing the wells are being formed daily-some
started by swindlers and speculatsrs, for
the purpose of quilting and cheating their
luckless share-holders, and some By solid,
well-known, experienced business men, in
which whoever holds share may be eoun-
ted lucky man. OF thelatter class, as the
names of its managers will testify, is the
Hickory Farm Oil Company, the property
of which, located in the very heart Of the
richest oil territory of Pennsylvania, and
selected by most experienced judges, COM
prises two hundred and ninety-seven acres
of land, in fee simple, on Allegheny aud
Hickory Greek, Vonsngo County. The
Company is incorporated under the laws of
the State of New York, and is divided into
100000 shares. Half the capital has al
ready been subscribed.
Those interested in the Company com
prise several of the most substantial men
Of Esw York and Pittsburgh. The Trust
ees in this city are Messrs. Jeptha Il. Wade,
Vice President of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, snd Samuel L. Mather,
Secretary Cleveland Iron Mining Company
Among the gentlemen in this city who are
interested in the Company are Messrs. Jo-
seph Perk ins, VIM. Bingham, T. P. Handy.
Robert Hanna, Selah Chamberlain, S. D,
Mcmillan, and other leading business men,
The subscription books are at the Office o.

IN TRANsITU. = The Goth Massaohusett,
regiment passed through this city yester-
dsy, en- roEts for home. The officers of the
regiment are l.: Colonel, A. D. Wass; Lieu
tenant Colonel, D.: N. Woodard; Msjor
Uriah Mccoy; Surgeon, F. W. Mercer
Assistant Surgeon, George H. Powers
Quartermaster, John Heyomer; Adjutant
Thomas SLurgis.
The regiment is nine hundred strong
was recruited in the vicinity of Boston
with the exception of three companies
which were raised in the western part O.
the Slate, and it has been doing guard ser.
vice four months-the term of its existence
at Camp Morton, Indianapolis It hs,
lost but eight men By disease.
The men were fine looking fellows. They
had good, intelligent faces. We have nev.
er seen e regiment that wore an air of SC
high intelligence and self respect. There
was more order, more civility, and infnit-
ly less staggering and vulgar jcsting and
profanity, than many regiment shows
Nor is this strange. For they came from
Massachusetts,.
The regiment is in command of the
Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel Wass having
been detached, and serving now on the
court martial of the Indiana secret con-
spirators.
Tbs eOth left indianapolis Saturday af-
ternoOn at three O'Clock, and left this city
ycste rday at the same hour, on the Lake
Shore road. The boys will reach home By
Thanksgiving day.

Marine Intelligence.

LAKE DISASTERS The bark q. L. Lansing,
with cargo of wheat, struck on Colchester
Reef, Tuesday night, and, unless since re-
lieved, lies in very critical situation. 1t
was reported that tug had gone to her as
sistance, but with what prospects of suc-
cess we are not advised.
The schooner Forwarder was driven
ashore at Kincardine, Lake Huron and it
is stated will prove a total loss.
The schooner Emma was caught in the
gale near Lexington, Lake Huron, and was
driven over to the Canada side. but was
saved from going ashore by her anchors.
She lost overheard 14O, 900 shingles, and
her jibs were blown away. She has since
arrived at Toledo, with the residue of her
cargo.
The bark Great West NO. 2,) during the
gale, lay at anchor under St. Helena, Lake
Michigan, but was driven by shift of
wind from her anchorage, and to prevent
going ashore her topmast was cut away,
which, with everything thereto attached,
went by the board.
The tug Dispatch, which went to the re-
lief of the schooner A. J. Rich, on Lake
Huron, has returned to this port, the vessel
having been abandoned as total loss.
Strong doubts are entertained whether any
of the numerous vessels ashore will prove
otherwise than total loss. Such was the
height and force of the seas on Lake Huron, ,
that not more than Is minutes elapsed from
the time the schooner Fortune struck ere
shs was in fragments, and the whole of her
cargo deposited in the lake. The gale was
accompanied with binding snow storm,
and no land was discovered until the vessel
had reached the breakers and past all hope
of rescue.
Mr.. Burton, who has arrived in Detroit,
from the Canada shore of Lake Huron, re-
ports that small vessel came ashore on
that coast with all her hands lost. The
name of the vessel was not sscertained.

Equal Rights League.

EDITORS LEADER: Pursuant to call, the
colored citizens of Oberlin met on the eve-
ming of the 14th inst, to perfect the forma-
tion of league auxiliary to the National
Equal Rights League. Remarks were
made by J NJ. Langston, Esq, and others,
on the constitution reported by the COM
mittee appointed for that purpose, after
which, with some slight amendments, it
was unanimously adopted. While the
committee, appointed to nominate officers,
was absent, the following resolutions were
introduced and adopted as being the senti-
ments of the people of the town:
WHEREAS, J. NJ. Langston, Esq, the dsl-
| egate of the citizens of Oberlin to the Ma
ticnal Convention of Colored Men at Syra-
cuse, exhibited the qualities of a faithful
representative and q fearless man there
| fore, be it
RESOLVED. Thst we entirely approve of his
action in said convention, and do extend
to him our heartfelt thanks for his con-
| duct while there, and our warmest SYM

| equal rights in the eyes Of tha law as citi-
zens of this great commonwealth.

seem to be moro awake to the issues of the
hour than ever before. We succeeded in
one evening in raising double the amount
pledged by our delegate at the Convention.
| Mr.. Laugston announced that he would
meet the Executive Board of the National
| League in Philadelphia on the 94th inst.

STREET FIGHT. was a small-sized
disturbance on South Ontario street, Satur.
day evening. Cause of disrute, bad whis-
ky; reason for blows, nothing worth men
tioning, as is usual when men are drunk.
One of the squad intimated, and even de.
clared, that he could knock ono of the
other fellows to subterraneous place,
whose name we forbear giving. No. 2
swore, and breathed out threatening and
slaughter or two, when they "went in, !"
and of all the passages at arms since Don
Quixotte, those must stand at the head of
the list The blows hit the atmosphere
chiefly, doing very incousiderable damage.
Quantities of hair were pulled up by the
roots, and went sailing down the wind.
Cuticle was cheap and at discount, and
the air throbbed with arrshs, begorras and
bejasuses.
Finale? The combatants, like all natu-
raj agents, exhausted themselves, and
great calm ensued,
