STRIKING lie Ohio bids fur to rival her
sisters State Of. Pennsylvania in this important
Commercial product. So far, the Oil found 10
her bosom, Ike her so ill., is of much richer
quality than the Pennsylvania Oil. The wells
known as the Ransom wells on Graud River
in the town Of Harpersfeld, 10 this County.
were sunk iD 1861, to the depth of nearly 300
feet, VIII en- water spouted or 10 feet into the
air, and continued for some time, with good
show of oil and free emission of gas, which
yet continues to escape from the wells iu large
quantities Such other evidences as are known
TO oil men as sure indications, were also found.
The wells were abandoned in 1861, in the then
financial Strsights Of the country. The country
bordering on Grand River is an almost exact
counterpart OF Oil Creek, Pa. If oil is not
found in free quantities and of superior quality
then there is nothing in what is known as first

POPULATION OF ONO. WHERE TUE
PEOPLE Come FROM. The population of
Ohio at the last census consisted Of 2, l22,-
o05 persons, American born; of which nun
ber ,l29, $50 were natives of the State. --
OF the remainder, Pennsylvania gave I'LL
7e4 New York, 1850; Maryland, 2S,-
$50 Virginia, 1854. The New England
States added to the population of Ohio as
follows Maine, 3,0ll; New Hampshire,
ALL; Massachusetts,, 16, 3lS; Rhode Island
1853; Vermont, 1862; Connecticut, TO-
TAI in ell, 53,39l. One would suppose in
travelling through the different counties, and
hearing so much of New Englandism, from
the pulpits and sehool-houses Of the State,
that OHIO was but second edition of the
Yankee State, who had captured it, as the
barbarians overrun Italy in ancient times,
when in truth it seems that Virginia alone
has sent %, 4S3 more settlers to Ohio than
the entire New England States <Maryland
neasly twice the number Of Massachu ia,
and q much larger number than any other
Of the New England States. Yet like the
pea-hen in the poultry yard, the sons OF
New England make more noise in the State
than all the rest Of the people III It.

A Remarkable Robbery.

.'Burleigh" writes to tie Boston Jonna1
and tells OF D remarkable robbery In New
York, He says: ''The broker was inside
the counter near the safe. A man came in
without hat, and with pen behind his
ear. He walked round to the spot where
the banker stood--who was talking with a
gentleman--an said to him: "Please to
move sir, y and the banker did. The fellow
coolly took out Of the safe several thousand
United States bonds, and coolly walked
away, and has never been seen from that
time to this Near the cleaing hours Of bu-
siness the bonda were sought for aud could
NOT be found. The banker turned TO one Of
the clcfksand asked him for them, stating
that he saT bim remove them from the
drawer. Fortunately, the clerk wac able %

solJ.ere Discharge Papers.

1t win be remembered that we have fre-
quently referred to the attempt to set up a
system of hucksteriug in soldiers discharge
papers, and that We denounce the swindits
practised in the matter of these discharges.
The purchase of them is, we believe, no
longer attempted; but various impostors are
traversing the country claiming to be agents
of the State, for the purpose of collecting
them, in order to secure additional bounties
for veteran soldiers. In many cases soldiers
have parted with these, to them, invaluable
documents, without even taking receipt;
and they are therefore lost. 1t may as well
be said here and now, that no. such agents
have been appointed, and those who repre-
sent themselves to, be so are swindlers. -
Again we advise soldiers TO keep their dis
charge papers in their own hands.

The Questlon OF lhe hour.

The question is not: "Shall we take up
President johnson for the Presidency in
1862" The question that now vitally af-
fscts the country, is; Are the Southern
States in the Uniopa and entitled to their
representation in Congress2" That's tie
question. President johnson concurs with
the Democratic party in the Affirmative that
those are in the Union. The Negroites,
the Blood-letters; the Con6scationists and
the Disunionists, assume an antagonists
thereto. Can patriots hesitate which side
to espouse?

general rrsan,e of affairs in the District of
Columbia. Owing to the pressure at the
present time Of public documents, all Of In
terest, we are compelled to present alb
stracts Of each, giving the more important
points:
The Secretary commences his report with
a stotcment of the sales of public lands -
Duringrthe fiscal year ending June 80, 1865,
4,5l3,73S acres were disposed of. 557, ,2l2
acres were sold for cash; s4S, 600 located
with military worrants; 46o,l3o located
with agricultural scrip; 3O8, ,35S, selected
under agricultural collegs grant, 57l ,429,
approved to the State as swamp land 607,-
AIS, approved to the States, for railroads,
and /, l60, ,532, were taken under the Home
stead law ..-a '.a.tlE.r ,.. .
During the year ending Sept. 80, the ag-
gregate quantity taken for the same pur-
poses was, $50, sol, showing that for the i've
quarters G, 1894, 800 acres we're disposed OF.
The cash receipts from sales, homestead,
and location fees for the same time, we're
81 .03s, ,40D, rs.
During the fiscal year ending June 80,
4,l6l. IT'S acres Of public lands were survey
ed. The aggregate quantity OF surveyed
public lands undisposed of Sept 80, was
| 1872, 285, ,035 acres. ,a
| The Secretary recommends further legls-
lation in regard to presumption cIalms, 30
az to remove ambiguity and secure har-
mony. Experience has proved the home.
| stead law good one, and it's provisions well
calculated to secure the settlement and cul-
| tivation of the public lands. The organlza-
tion of Bureau of Mining is again urged,
and the opinion expressed that all lands de-
| nominated mineral, which do not bear, the
precious metals, should be brought into
| market and placed under the guardianship
of private owners. This individual proprie
torship would stimulate the development q
coal fields, &c., and have these lands with
their products contribute to the payment oi
the national debt. 1t is estimated that two
or three hundred thousand able bodied men
are engaged in such mining operations on
the public lands. without authority and with
out paying anything to the government for
the privilege. s. .Gc.
