Rebels Burning Cotton mt Will
minEtOn.

New YORK, Feb. "A rebel dispatch
dated Wilmington, Jan. 2Sth, says about
400 bales of cotton were destroyed by fire
on the Custom House wharf at that place,
and two car loads four miles from town, on
the Weldon road, on the 2Sth ult. Whether
the burning was accidental or was the COM
mencement OF carrying out the reported
rebel design to destroy all the staple in the
vicinity, does not clearly appear.

tons were Of no avail; he was unable to move with
out assistance. and for four months was almost en-
tirely confined TO his bed. At this period Of his
sickness, when hope had aed, and he expected to
cripple for the remainder Of his life, he was REQ
commended TO use

provement was more decided from the second box,
and by the time he had used eighteen boxes he was
entirely cured Of Rheumatism. and the strength

Lands Located in 0hiO West Virginia and
Pennsylvania.

THE PROPERTIESO OF THIS COMPA.
i ny consist of 423 acres Of the most desirable
OIL Lands in these States. selected with care and
judgment by practical men, after prospecting and
examining the most productive regions and locali-
ties. A large part of it is situated on Dunkard
creek, Green county, Pennsylvania, where, in pro-
portion to developments, the quantity and quality
Of the Oil found, is superior to Oil creek, it
manding higher price in the Pittsburg market.
The lands in West Virginia are located in Mon
ongelia and Wetzel counties, and are considered
among the best in the State.
In Ohio, the Company property is located in Knox
county, where the indications are most favorable,
Oil of superior character as q lubricator being
found at depth of $50 feet, adjacent lands, and
within few feet of the Con pany's property.
The Company are already sinking one well, and
have arranged to two more, as soon as the
necessary machinery can be put on the ground.-
THREE WELLS have recently been struck only a
short distance from the property of this Company.
EITHER ONE of which would, in year, nearly re
pay the entire capital Of the Company. ..-
The officers of this Company, in placing its stock
before the public, are confident that the induce
ments offered are not surpassed by any Company
in the country. The Capital Stock is small for the
amount of valuable Oil territory the Company pos
sess, and the assurance of speedy and large re-
turn to the stockholder is almost certain. i- v7r-
