Oil news.

A fifty barrel flowing well was struck on the
land Of the Hopewell oil company, on the
10th INST, at depth Of 3lS feet. The lands
Of this company lie on the Allegheny river
in Scrub Grass township, Venango county,
and possess unsurpassed faciltiesufor the
transportation Of its OIL We cohgra.ulate
our friends holding this stock on their good
luek and wish them more of the same kind.
We understand that the Oil Greek and Cor
don's Run Petroleum company, in which eur
citizens are also largely interested, Is pro-
crossing finely. Ithas two wells going down
in one Of which there is fine show Of oil,
Though only 800 feet deep yet. 81.
The Franklin Citizen says: In our last
issue we made mention Of the increased ac,
tivity ia all branches Of the oil business, =
Since that time matters are growing liveHer
every day, and our streets are thronged with
strangers; we again hear the cry Of lands to
lease and sell. and almost every day new de-
Yelopments increase the demand for elegible
old sites Welearn that on Friday last an
other large flowing we'll was struck on Pithole
creek. but have been unable to obtain the
names Of the fortunate parties a fine well
was obtained on the Gates Farm in Roekland
township on the Allegheny river, Thursday
last, at less than two hundred feet, which is
yielding over one hundred barrels per day.
In consequence of this somewhat novel de-
yelopment, lands on tie river for fifteen miles
sor more below Franklin, are rapidly raising
in value, and leases, fee simples, &C., are
eagerly sought after In short there is every
indication that the business viii assume great
