GREAT SUCCESS
BEDFORD co. MUTUAL OIL COMPANY.

The property Of the above named company, which
is about being organized under the mining laws Of
Pennsylvania, consists of the following valuable
territory, to wit:
!. A lease of one half acre, known as ssNo. 80
on the Tenney & Storrow purchase, on Cherry Run,
Venaugo county, Pa, just above the celebrated
s.Reed5' well and within stones throw of a well
lust struck, flowing al present 100 barrels per day.
A new derrick erected upon the lot. One half the

Greek, of two acres of ground fve-eighths of the
oil to the company.
4. Seven acres in fee simple on the waters of
Ritchey Run, one mile from its junction with the
Allegheny, about the same distance from the Fox
and Widel well, owned by the F'Stump Islands Oil
Company" All fat boreable territory, at present
under cpItivation with good frame house upon it.
8 Three acres in fee simple on the Allegheny
river, lust below the mouth of the Clarion river.
There is room this tract for half dozen wells
The ssAllegheny and Clarion River Oil Company
Of Philadelphia, ale now sinking several wells i'm
mediately opposite this property, win excellent
prospects of success.
In presenting the above basis TO the public, it is
confidently believed that IT cannot be excelled by
that of any ether company yet organized. The two
! leases on Cherry Kun are themselves worth more
than the territory OF many companies which pro-
fess to be based upon million capital The Cherry
Run region has proved TO be the surest olproducing
territory yet discovered. NInetenths of the wells
bored on this stream have been successful. The
great Reed' well, flowing 375 barrels per day. the
SsMountan' well flowing 400, and in fact nearly all
of the large wells yet struck, are located on Cher
~ Run.
1t is proposed 70 sell Sufficient number of shares
to pay for the territory and raise working capital
for its development, at the low price of tsnty Ds
cents per share, THIS placing e0sry subscriber is
fund on tie ground floor, and giUjng each subscriber
pro rata interest IN tie territory, engines, and other
property of the company, well as the shares of
stock remaining unsoId after the purchase money
and working capital raised. From the nature of
the leases, boring upon them must be commenced
within sixty days from the goth of April, 1865,
which is 4 sufficient guaranty that the company
will proceed without delay to the development of
ita Territory.

VNHESE Powders have proved after trial of
/ several years, to be superior 10 any prep
aTatlon OF the kind in use. The chief soperi-
ority of these powders arises from the fact
that they are composed OF medicines that have
Laxative, Tonic and Purifying properties
The laxative eJects crudit:es from the stomach
=aDd intestines, the tonic gives strength to the
Gsystem OF the Horse, and the purifying medl-
SScines contained in them cleanse the blood, and
clay the foundation for vigorous and healthy
SScirculatlon. The use of them improves the
wind, strengthens the appetite and gives the
horse fine, smooth and glossy skin--thus tn-
proving the appearance, vigoI and spirit OF
this noble animal.
These powders are not intended, as most
powders are, to bloat the animal, so to give
him the appearance OF being fat when not re-
ally so-but, TO remove the disease and pro-
mote his general health.
These powders will strengthen the storn-
ach and intestlnes, cleanse them from often
slve matter, and bring them to healthy
state. They are sure prevention of Lung
Fever, and certain remedy for all diseases
incident to the Horse, as GlandeTs, Yellow
Water, DIstempers, Founder, Heaves, Slav-
ering, Coughs, Fevers, Loss Of Appetite, and
Vital Energy, &c.-These Powders, if used
two or three times week, through the win
- teE and spring, your horse will never get the
> Lung Fever, Collie or Bolts. A few doses OF :
@s these powders will remove the worst cough, :
r= on any horse. We're owners of horses to :
s- feed few of these powders every year, they !,
mightsa re the lives of many valuable horses
MTLCH COWS.
The pl .perties this powder possesses IN in
creasing the quantity of milk in cows, gives
1t an Importance ard value which should
place 1t in he hands of every person keep
ing COW. In fattening cattle, it gives them
an appetite, loosens their hide, and makes
them thrive much faster. =

A FiZzIc.
From the OHIO statosman.l

! After tho nomination of Gen. Cox
for Governor, by the Republican State
Convention, held an the 2lst OF
juno, Senator Sherman announced
that no man in Ohio, would more
cordially support the nJminoe than
his brother, General w. T. Sherman
This was, of course, regarded With
great favor by the friends OF negro
equality, and was beralded all over
the State rs big thing; but many Of
the Republicans who knew John
Sherman's disposition to make unrc--
liable statements, did not belioyo him
in this instance-at any rate, they
received this announcement with
many gains of allowance. John
saw this, and felt that his recollection
to tho United States Senate might
depend upon few words from Gen.
Sherman in favor Of General Cox:
and he la6mcd from that time until
last Thursday, in conjunction with
other Republican managers, TO get
Tccumsoh to speak those few words
Gen Sherman displayed as mach
genuine hcroism in LIS late flank
movememont in Ohio, as any Goner
a! was ever called upon to exhibit on
the field OF battle! Tho pressure
that John brought to bear Il pom him
was terrific. Every available inAu
enco was seized and used in tho effort
to accomplish the object. Gen. Cox
was persis,ently thurst forward and
kept in Gen. Sherman's presence, SO
that it was an impossib!lity for gen.
tIemon who arc in harmony With tho
views of the latter to approach him.
lie could do no less, undcr tho cir |
cumstances, than TO say of Cox what |
he did say-complimentiug him as a
gentleman and q scholar, and speak !
ing kindly of him as n military man.
Lie uttered no words indorsing Cox
poIjtlcaIly, or promising him sep,
port in his raco for Governor and |
therein he OuBaaEed his brother
John aud all the Republican mana.
gers! lie gave them to understand,
distinctly, that his great popularity
could not be used to aid in elevatiug
the negro equality caadia5i0 to the
Uinco OF Governor OF Ohio.

'Ebe Religious Press OR The
Washington Executions.
From tho Ohio statesman !

The Religious papers that VIC have
seen since the Washington Execu>
tiCns nearly all applaud the PERFORM
ance--including, Of course, the mill.
tary commission, and the trial; and
seem to regret THAT the prisoners
were not hung! They are especially
jubilant over the hanging Of Mrs
Surratt-some of thcm oven indulg-
ing in offensive illusions to the Re-
ligion she proiessod, whose kind off
ccs aud consultations were admins
tered to her up to tho very close OF
her life.
But tho New York Observer can
not refrain from saying:
'It was universally regretted that
so short time wss allowed these
miserable wretchea for preparation to
meet their dreadful doom. 1t would
have been more becoming q good
Government to have deferred their
execution few days at least, and
the effect on the public mind would
have been more solemn and perma>
nent."
Others were willing to see them
hung "without the benefit of the
clergy" anxious, doubtless, to have
sent them straight to the
devil-forgetting the crucifixion
scene, when the Savior OF
the World said TO the repentunt
malvfactot, who was dying
at his side, "to.day thou shalt
bo with nc in Paradise"

eraI IN q brief and pertinent speech,
to which tho General responded as
follows:
GfNTEEMEN: i rocognize tho fact
that here in Louisville | began that
career which has brought me back
again to meet YOU face 10 face. Four
years ago all WAS confusion hero, and
no man know where his neighbor
WAS, and hardly know whether he
was himselfa Union man or O. rebel

my friend, Mr. Guthrie, has truly
said, full Of love and ardor for the
Government and the llag of our in
heritanco. | thought as overy man
thought, and racked my brain to the
best Of it's capacity; but | admit that
at the time all looked TO me gloomy
and dark. | knew that in the North
and West, aud in the Sonth, too
were thousands Of men who, when
properly reached, would rally to our
nag. | began tho work here four
years ago, and have changed but lit
tic since. | thought then, as think
now, that tho course and confluence
oi river and mountain had bound us
bv law higher than our own making
to stand together as one nation.
believe that, by past history and
present interest, We arc also bound
To 1.-Two together in peace and harmo-
n.y. know that we can, and be-
!icye that we will. But it becomes
necessary to use force to that end.

men that the supreme law of the land

Aentucky lS big enough to take in

he parts may at times seem discor-
liant, we are bound RS men to hold
hem in one National Union. Five
years ago we did not dream of the
roubles ahead, but thoy did arise

peace exists all over our land; and |
W lcomo back this peace, because il
appeals TO the hearts of men and the
highest interests OF the nation. |

It the same time think that the in

therefore, l hope that the peace
hat is nov upon us will
ast forever, and that if am ever
