OIL NEWS.
"A Grent. OiI Purchnse.

TFrom the Chicago Tribune, sspt mber 81
the chief sensation in oil, and indeed,
the most considerable oil item that ever
had chicago basis, is the purchase lew
days since, by Messrs. Wright s. Chit.
terden (the latter George L. Chittenden
of this city, of the Holmden Farm, Pit
Hole,) the most valuable single oil track
in the world. The purchsse is understood
TO be for one million and half dollars, for
which substantial sum Messrs. Prathee s.
Duncan have parted with their en-
tire land interest ut Pit Hole and it is now
the property of the above named gentle
men. 1t includes the land interest In the
great flowing wells whose net income TO
Messrs. Wright 81 Chittenden is some four
or five thousand dollars per day. These
wells include the United States well and
its greater and less neighbors, and the
whole site of Pit Hole City, with leases
to the amount of $50, 900 annual rental,
together with the. Depot grounds. One
hundred and thirty wells are going
down on the property Of which the
present owners of the farm hold the one
quarter interest. Oil at Pit Hole is sell
lug at two dollars per barrel, and it costs
two dollars to haul it TO the river or rail-
road. Within q month the railroads will
be finished to Pithole City and the cost of
forwarding the oil will fall to fifty cents
per barrel, adding handsomely 70 the in
come of these wells, 1t is only necessary
to add, as matter of history, thst other
Chicago parties have been in treaty for
this great oil farm, and claim that their
action lies in damages against the former
owners fer breach of contract. We give
the whole facts as received here and the
current topic of discussion among oil men.
Among the numerous oil properties and
expectations, still in the future as to sub
stantial realization. it is gratifying to pub.
lish solid oil fact, and congratulate sll
who set it down to their prcfls.

The HeraId's sPscuIations in oil.

SLANhLANOI OoPs' 81 1SNO'
EDITOR LEADER: 1 noticed in your re-
marks on the course of the Herald in SC
eeptipg brides for putting up bogus oil
companies in its columns that you speak
of the credulous being taken in by them.
This reminds me of = little incident
that occurred last winter. A gentleman
from New York wished to invest in some
oil stock. He inquired of Clevelsnder,
whom he supposed to bs an honorable man,
for the best company TO buy in. He was
recommended to invest in Liverpool
stock. He was referred to the lying state
ment made in the Herald in regard to the
producing character Of the Liverpool well
which statement was ediiorially guaranteed
by the Herald to be correct. The New
Yorker was thus hoodwinked into buying
stock st ESQ of the Clevelsnder alluded to
who was q member of the Liverpool Com
pany. After the stock of the CompsrJ
was disposed of through the aid of the
lying report Of the Herald. we all know
how quick the Company exploded-noth
ing was left but an unfinished dry welland
q drilling machine.
The secret of the success of the company
in selling the worthless stock is this: They
gave one of the editors of the Herald five
hundred dollars in stocks for recommend
ing the people to invest with the Liver
pool Company.
I Rm credlbly informed that as high as
$1,000 was paid one of the editors of that
paper by Pennsylvsnis companies for pub
lishing letters which recommended theil
wells, which letters appeared in the Her
old, and were republished in pamphiet
70 m by It's author, Mr.. Bone
/ mention thisss mere matter of justice
to the public, and to show what creuit can
properly be given to any statement thai
may be made by paper whose columns
can SO easily be purchased. OIL.

ACbtuese Dinner.

A grand complimentary diuner 10

The ALtG Californian says that the din

course consisted of soups and almost num-

of which entered fish, flesh, fowl and veg
etable substances, in a thousand forms
uudreamed of to French cooks and Cau-
caaian housewives generally. The ia.
nous "bird nest soup" which was pronounc-
ed delicious by all who partook of it,
and vast number Of sweetmeats and pre-
serves of different kinds, were included in
these courses. AS soon as one dish had
been passed around and tasted by each
guest, it was removed and new ones
brought on by the attendants. No knives,
forks or spoons of our patterns were upon
the tables at the FIST Two sittings; chop
sticks, and the short, thick China spoons or
scoops being what each guest was expected
TO help himself with. The efforts of the
uninitisted guests to master the chop sticks
and convey the food to their mouths with
them, created vast amount of amusement
to the company, and sometime not q little
modification to the most awkward of the
party. At the third sitting fruit only was
served, and embraced every variety in the
market. At the end of each sitting the
tables were entirely cleared, and the party
adjourned to the reception room to await

Ar NIAGARA FALLs.


The English capitalists after dinner at
Nisgsra (O. w yesterday afternoon, came
further up, to the International Hotel,
where they remained during the night. A
large nuLlU6r Or l~J;--- and gentlemen
from this city went down to the Fsls on
the 6:35 train, all of them TO see the
illumination the majority 10 participate
in the ball OF the International. The illu-
mination was from Table Rock, and the
point of observation selected was Prospect
Point near the Ferry House
The assemblage, between 9 and IL
o'clock, was quite large. From the stand
point we selected, which was that of other
spectators, we could simply see that a
Drummopd light, located a. the outer edge
of the rock, and q number of smaller lights
in the vicinity, made the mist in the i'm
mediste curve, and for half way round the
Fail quite luminous, while sll that can be
seen of the Fall on the opposite curve was
barely relieved from tho darkness which
made it solemn. That portion of the Fall
near which the spectators were grouped in
sitting or standing postures, wasin complete
shadow, as were the sightseers Themselves,
and but q single stresk of light, coming
from Table Rock to Prospect Point, and
reflected in the river, illumined the gorge
below. Everywhere else was darkness, if
we except the Clifton House, which looked
radiant, its rooms being all lighted and its
windows thrown opsn., From hear the
Clifton House, and from Table Rock, an
occasional rocket went up, and extorted
the usual exclamation. An artist Of unu-
suAl appreciation, would have found ms-
tsrial for picture; but ordinary mortals
expected to see the Falls in blazs of
glory and didn't.

The last adVices from Europe in refer
encs to the cholera show that it is raging
with unsbsted fury at Oonsssntinople
where it has resched the ,frightful kYerage
of two thousand deaths day. that it is
still progressing westward and has reached
Port Mahon, in the BAleAric Isles just of
the coast of Spain, that it is increasing in
its violence st MarseiIles, and that it is ev-
erywhere unchecked either by medical
skill and labor or by the approach
of autumn. So much is published TO the
world by the European papers but what
is not published, though no less true, is
that the dreaded disease has reached Lon
don, and that l47 deaths have occurred in
that city during one week from that cause
alone The fact is withheld from publics'
tion, for fear of exciting pSnic but let.
