 SHARON. The Sharon Debating Club met at the house of H. NJ. Gillette, on Monday. evening, the 18th inst, and discussed the fol, lowing question, viz, "Did the career of Ma poleon Bonaparte produce more good than evil results ?' The debate was carried on by the respective speakers with great spirit and ani- nation. their remarks showing considerable historical research and perfect familiarity with the great facts of the eventful period un- der diseussion. The audience. which was quite large, manifested lively interest in the debate, and we who listened, as we'll as those who spake, derived both pleasure and instruc. tion from the discussion. The next subject for debate" Do people marry more from sen. timent than from other motives ?''' will be dis cussed at the house of Elias B.

THE PETROLEUM FEvER.-A correspondent
 writes us that the oil fever is breaking out on the banks Of the Hudson near Fishklll, recent ly. The oil was discovered on the surface of water flowing from spring, and by curbing the spring several barrels of o! have been col lected ot quality superior to tue Pennsylva- mia oil, and it will admit of its being used in its crude and unfinished state. Near Pough- keepse also, oil indications. have been discover ed in a swampy vicinity, ard borings are about to be made. Wherever bush tint or shade is observable on the surface of standing water, For flowing very sowly,it is regarded as an ill., dicaton of oil. It is said that Geologists al e abandoning their first theory that it is the pro- duction of mineral coal, and that clay and lime stone regions are proper locations to look for it. There are certainly an abundance of these To-. calities in Litchfeld County, and we shall not be surprised to learn of the discovery of oil wells very near us at no distant day. Our cor respondent believes that the discovery of Pe- troleum in this County at this time is of more importance than was the discovery of gold in California, since it is new article for taxation, and from the immense quantities destined to be obtained, must lessen the taxes on other property, &c. Great is Petroleum, and adver. Using Is its profit! 5.-:

a MORRIS A few days since, Beebe s. Hall formerly in the 2d Conn. Artillery was going into the woods after load of wood, when he slipped upon the ice, and fell under one of his oxen which stepped upon him and broke his leg between the knee and ankle. Being unable to move, he lay where he fell for about three hours, when his absence being noticed, some persons went- to his assistance and found him nearly exhausted. We are happy to say that he is now doing well.
 Mrs. Wright, ,.of Morris. also slipped and fell upon the ice while walking, about week since, and fractured her arm, beside suffering severe confusion of the hip.
 Mr. William HalL also of Morris, was riding on horseback on the west side of the lake, on Saturday, the 14th, with his little son, aged six years, in front of him, when the horse be came frightened and jumped, throwing them violently upon the ice.

- The new copperhead newspaper in this town is to be started on it's mission about the 10th of next month, and it is to be called the "Litchfeld Sentinel" and not the "Selectman" --on the principle that "a rose-or a select manly any other name would smell as sweet" There is something peculiarly appro- priate and suggestive in the title finally se- lected, as the Sentinel at Richmond is known as the personal and political organ of Jeff Davis himself, and we doubt not the Litchfeld paper will follow as closely as possible in the footsteps of it's prototype and namesake-- There is one thing, however, which we are happy to say in advance of the papers appear ance, which is that we believe it is to be ed- tied by gentleman, Mir. John D. Champlin, Jr., recently connected with the Bridgeport Standard-though we are sorry he deserts a g. standard sheet" for copperhead sheet that will be necessarily " of few days and flu of trouble' <, E, It is stated that Bishop Potter, and sev- eral Episcopal Clergymen of New York and vicinity, have petirioned the President for the release of the Rev.
