1854, with IA capital of Sir Hundrcd ami FWy
Thousand Dollars, divided into one hundred
and thirty thousand shares, the par value of
which is Five Dollars per share. The Company
reserve a cash capital Of Fifteen Thousand Dol

chased for the Company.
No. !, Is a tract of land in fcc-simple, clear
of all ncimbrance, containing twenty acres,
situate on Cherry Run, near the post-town of
Plumer, in the county of Nenango, Pa, and
surrounded by developed and partially develop
ed lands, so tavorably known as the "Cheny
Run Territory" in one of the most desirable
localities of such property is the area belonging
to the Sheridan. All wells sunk to the ordinary
depth on this territory have proved successful
thus far, consequently it can hardly be con-
sidered risk to bore on any part of this Com
pany's lands.

situate on the extension of the same Cherry
Run flats above described, about three-and-onc-
half miles from the village of Plumer and to

in truhfulness and>force; derics escape steam
and smoke from working engines, are to be seen
both above and below this property for miles on
the flats or low grounds.
The oils obtained in this particular district
are of fine character and well adapted to
lighting purposes; they are now in active de-
mand at $l2 per barrela the wells, for refining,
the purchasers furnishing barrels and caring
the oil heretrdin as fast as it can be produced.

"ScBRIETY-The sober moments which
Immediately succeed to dinner are the
most miserable in existence. The ianguor,
tue sense of utter iuefTicacy, mental and
bodily, are dreadful. After few glasses.
you ascend the frat step of the pyramids;
and become comfortable. In this state
you are not much disposed to talk. There
is tranquil luxury 10 you, feeliugs, and
q reverie comes on, which, if you drink
no more, is likely to terminate in sleep.
"a philosopher seldom passes this point,
except 10 company.
Drink on, and you step up to lively.
Now you begin to talk, and your remarks
are smart and pertinent. You have the

You grow more eloquent and less logical
Your jokes are cspital-in your own esti

clear, beyond yourself.
nVERY FREsH.-Your conversation is
more and more highly colored. Your elo-
quence is impassioned, and you oVerwhelm
your companions with food OF talk. You
begin to suit the action to the word. Ideas
not quite coherent, but language still toler-
ably distinct and correct.
.TIPsY.-EoW on the top of the pyramid,
you begin to grow giddy. Gestures very
vehement, aud ePithets much exaggerated.
Argumentative, but not rational. Words
considerably abridged, and ideas lameuts-
bly, obscured.
"VERY TIPsY.-You find out that you
have turn for vocal masic, and regale
your friends with a song. Speechify in
incoherent language, and evince a most
decided tendency to mischief and locomo-
ton. Proud as peacock, stout as lion,
Rli amorous as a dove.
