The Detroit Tribune announces great
oil excitement in Michigan, owing to the
discovery Of oil in the Saginaw Valley
The heat of the fever is in the vicinity OF
Lakeport, st. Clair County, where lands are
being rapidly bought up and shafts sunk
Experienced explorers have been over the
ground and find every indication of oil to
be found in Western Pennsylvania and
West Virginia. We have seen samples OF
the surface oil, collected by Mr.. j. ). Pal

about the Mecca Oil Wells in Northern
Ohio, an oil that has the highest value foI
lubricating purposes.

Petroleum i'm. Perry County
d . .aa Indiana.

We learn that Mr.. Drumb, our County
Recorder, has put upon the records, within
the last week, leases covering an area Of
over seven thousand acres of lands. These
leases have been taken by company re-
markable for wealth and intelligence. The
members of it are Joseph Dana, resident
of Louisville, man of keen sense and prac
tical experience in the construction Of
steam mills and their machinery; DR.. Nc.
Intyre, a practical geologist, and possessed
of handsome property; Mr.. Skene, long
known as an oil>re6ner at Louisville, having
charge of extensive works and the exclu-
sive agent for all the Parkersburg wells;
Mr.. Schwartz, we'll known as owning al
most the entire stock of the German Sa-
wings Bank, and being the largest taxpayer
in Louisville; Mr.. Borries, wholesale mer>
chant and Prussian Consul; Mr.. Wolfe, an
extensive wholesale clothier, and Mr.. Cook,
q wealthy lawyer, all residents Of Louisville.
The first intention Of this company was to
release the land; but the promises are so
favorable that of nine members OF the com
psny, only two will part with their shares
at any price. They are obtaining the most

mencing operations actively in the spring.
They have resolved to open simultaneously
five wells, at an estimated cost OF ten
thousand dollars each. After a careful in
vestigation, they feel warranted in invest
ing fifty thousand dollars. They are enga-
ging the services of old operators in the
Pennsylvania oil region. They have taken
nosses,ion of these lands 50 quietly that
hardly any others than those Immediately
interested had any knowledge Of it. Ans
other company, we learn, have followed at
the heels of this, and taken all the lands
left. Mr.. Skene, one Of this company, had
at one time decided to take stock in the
company which has leased lands and been
boring ia Crawford County, but coInes here
and invests with what he considers fa
vorable prospect of success. From all that
we can gather from this company, they en-
tertain very rational dreams Of growing sud
denly rich.

The Wool Trade.

The Tiifin Tribune says: "There is still a
disposition among the wool growers to hold
back and wait for an expected ADVANCE
Some ofthe largest producers are asking 81
per pound. The market is little excited
and prices are tending strongly upward.
There is considerable wool stealing in
some sections of the country. The other
day man brought in two sacks which he
sold early in the morning for $3.50 and
sloped. Soon the owner arrived and proved
property, having followed up the track of
the wagon that hauled the stolen wool from
his barn during the night.
NEW YORK, June 25.--The recent adj
vance in gold and sterling exchange has
caused high degree of excitement In the
market, and decidedly higher prices have
been obtained. The principal transactions
have been in feeces, in which there has
been large business for investment, many
holders Of foreign stock having been indis-
posed to sell at prices much, If anything,
lower than the current rate of exchange
would warrant. The sales include 6S0000
lbs domestic feeces at S5@$1,05, the latter
rate for fancy selections; 10000 lbs pulled
at 85@95c; 200 bales do at S0@$l,00; 6S
bales Rio Grande, 30 bales Mexican, and n
bales Salonica on private terms; us bales
Cape at 54@65c; 1900 lbs California at 5e
@63c; and 200 bales unwashed African at
4215055c.

The Wool Market.

The price of wool this year should be
fully twenty-five per cent more than last
year, for two reasons alone: First, the tar
lift on foreign wool will be equal, at the
present price of gold, to near 20 per cent.
against per cent. last year. Second, cot
ton having reached so.veTy high price, 1t
is believed by all the best business men,
that it will throw the demand largely on
wool as substitute. These two reasons
alone are sufficient to justify the WOOL
grower in declining to take less than from
SI,O0 to $1,25 per pound. But In addition
the army will evidently be largely increas-
ed and will remain In the field next winter
making greatly increased demand for
wool. Foreign importations of woolen
goods will be cut off by the increased tariff,
thus confining us to our home crop for our
full supply for both army and citizens
wear. aH f5ff
Wool is to-day the cheapest article of
merchandise In the catalogue, and the far
mer who sells good clips for less than 81, 90
to $1,25, will be unwise. Farmers may de-
pend on having to pay to the manufactur-
ers, the coming season, about double the
prices for woolen goods, and they will do
themselves injustice if they sell their wool
at less than just rates.-Wh Wheeling Register.

Death of Tom Hyer, the Prize
Fighter.

Information reached the Coroner's office
Sunday morning of the death of Thomas
Hyer, the well known ex-champion of the
American Prize Ring, at his late residence,
No. 1876 East Thirty-fifth street. Coroner
Naumann soon afterwards proceeded to
hold an inquest on the body. The evidence
showed that Mr.. Hyer had been complain
ing for several years past, and about half
past twelve o'clock the night previous he
returned home in q light wagon, accom-
panied by stranger. He sat down on the
stoop and called for ice water, which was
furnished him. Soon afterwards Mr.. Hyer
complained of feeling sick, and shortly be-
fore two o'clock A. NJ. he went to bed
Two hours and half he woke
up and asked his niece, Mary Harrison,
then In attendance, for more ice water. He
spoke no more after that, and died shortly
before six o'clock A.. NJ, he retaining his
senses to the last. Deputy Coroner Thomas
Robinson, M. d., made post mortem ex-
animation Of the body; the right lung was
found bound down by old pleuritic adhe--

Fire i'm the Catholic Academy at
GAINESVILLE.

About three o'clock on Saturday after
noon fire broke out on the roof of the
South wing of st. Columba's (Catholic)
Academy in GAINESVILLE. The flames had
made considerable headway before the Fire
Companies arrived, and for some reason or
other,a difficulty was experienced in forcing
the water to the top of the building, which
was entirely enveloped in flames. AS soon
as the water gained sufficient headway, the
fire was subdued, but not until the entire
upper stories of the whole building were
destroyed. A strong breeze was blowing
from the west and when we take into con-
sideration the combustible nature of the adj.
joining houses, and the dry roofs which were
exposed, we can hardly account for the
slight loss sustained. Most of the furniture
in the upper part of the building was saved,
and the Pianos, of which there were several
in the lower rooms, were saved with but
slight injury. The young lady boarders all
escaped and though few lost their ward
robes and sustained sad fright, they are
all reported well this morning.
The loss is estimated at about forty-five
hundred dollars. No insurance. A meet
ing was called after Vespers last evening
by the members of St. Thomas (Catholic)
Church, and from 81, 500 to $4,000 were sub
scribed towards repairing theschool. Jamss
MKeirnan, Esq, of indianapolis, and John
G. English, Esq, of this city, each sub
scribed $500 towards the object. An Incl
dent occurred during the fire which is
worthy of notice. An Irishman was in the
fourth story, and had been working might
and main in saving the property. Suddenly
he found the stairway enveloped In flames,
and his only way of escape cut off. The
old adage "necessity is the mother of in
yentiOn" soon came in play. He seized q
dow, threw himself on it, and came safely
down to the ground. We do not know his
name, but we certainly think he deserves
credit for his acknowledgements Courier.

as well not to agitate just now.

The following resolutions passed the
United States House of Representatives,
February 1lth, 1861, by anearly unanimous
vote:
RESOLVED, That neither the Federal Gov
ernment nor the people or governments of
the non-slaveholding States have purpose
or constitutional right to legislate upon or
interfere with slavery in any of the States
of the Union.
! Resolued, That those persons in the North
| who do not subscribe to the foregoing propo-
! sition are too insignificant in numbers and
J influence TO excite the serious attention or
alarm of any portion of the people of the
numbers and influence does not keep pace
with the increase of the aggregate popu-
lation of the Union.
Congress by a vote nearly unanimous,
passed the following resolution, at the extra
session of 1861, which expresses the voice
of the nation and is the true standard of
loyalty:
That the present deplorable civil war has
been forced upon the country by the dis
unionists of the Southern States, now in
arms against the constitutional Government
and in arms around the Capitol; that in this
National emergency, Congress, banishing
all feeling of mere passion and resentment,
willrecollcct only its duty to the whole coun-
try; that this war is not waged on their
part in any spirit Of oppression or for any
purpose of conquest or suhjugation, or pur-
pose of overthrowing or interfering with
the rights or established institutions of
those States, but to defend and maintain the
supremacy Of the Constitution, and to pre-
serve the Union, with all the dignity, equal
ity, and rights of the several States unim-
paired; and that as soon as these objects are
accomplished the war ought to cease.
General McCLELLAN's order, August 0,
1852 says: sIgg
| The General commanding takes this oc-
casion to remind the officers and soldiers of
this army that we are engaged in support
ing the Constitution and laws of the United
States, and in suppressing rebellion against
their authority; that we are not engaged in
war of rapine, revenge or subiugation;
that this is not contest against populations,
hut against armed forces and political or
ganizations; that it is struggle carried on
within the United States, and should be con-
Quoted by us upon the highest principles
known to Christian civilization.
