present moment, deducting our increase from
our decrease, it would leave us for the same
time decrease Of more than 81 900 members,
would it not be startling? Yet inspect that
which we have compiled from the General
Minutes, and deduct the aggregate OF mem
hers and probatloners for 1864 from that OF
1861, and it will be seen to be true. Some OF
the most remarkable Of these figures are s'1s-

Time was whom this old and we'll known
journal catered daily for tho odifeation
and entertainment of its hosts of readers
and patrons. But, tirios change and
things change with them. The advent of
War, followed, alas by 40 many sad and
startling changes in tho condition and
pursuits of tho Southern people, rendered
1t necessary to drop the daily publication
and assume instead simple weekly issue.
The War terminating, and the dawn of II
moro quiet and prosperous future appear
ing, afford now encouraging earnest Of u
gradual though sure return to the arts and
pursuits Of peace, on the part Of onr people.
Embracing the occasion, therefore, to
fall in and keep pace with the steady pro-
gress towards brighton condition in the
affairs of our common country, tho Hndor-
signed have formed mutual ASSOCIATION
for the purpose of carrying on the news
paper, job printing and bindery business
Of the Gazette and Cogset eHfGe.
Dating from to-day, the Gasette and
C6mset emerges from n weekly to tri-
weekly journal. To meet the enlarged
expenses consequent upon this alteration,
we con fdently rely upon n generous in
crease of patronage. This wo shall strive
to merit by the labor and attention winch
we intend devoting to the several depart
monts Of business we have undertaken
mutually to conduct, comprising as above

As soon as practicable, the GaSette and

Lands Located in Ohio, West Virginia and

THE PROPERTIES OF THIS COMPA-
l. 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 com
manding higher price in the Pittsburg market.
The lands in West Virginia are located in Mon
ongelia and Wetzell 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 a superior character as lubricator being
found at depth Of $50 feet, adjacent lands, and
within few feet Of the Companys property.
The Company are already sinking one well, and
have arranged to commence two more as soon as the
necessary machinery can be put on the ground.-
THREE WELLS have recently been struck only q
short distance from the property of this Company.
EITHER ONE of which would, in one year, nearly re-
pay the entire capital Of the Company.
Tho 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 a speedy and large re-
turn to the stockholder is almost certain.
Full and detailed information given on applica-
tion TO the Sec etary and Treasurer.
