The WELL ON WEsr PrHoLE.-On
Saturday last the Greer well, on the
Vose farm, situated on the West
branch Of Pithole creek, was tested,
and the result demonstrates that the
great I'ithole oil basin extends over a
larger area than has been supposed.
After pumping with imperfect valves
tho we'll commenced flowing at inter-
walls with considerable force, and up
to Sunday afternoon yielded about fif-
ty barrels. The oil is of heavier
quality than the United States and
neighboring wells, and though not
tested is estimated to by experienced
judges at 429 gravity.
The Vose farm contains 106 acres,
about three-lourths of which is boring
territory and was lately purchased by
the West Pithole Petroleum Company,
Just organized bya number Of gentle.
men from Michigan and Chicago
John A. Kerr, Esq, State Printer Of
Michigan, is President, and Geo. w.
Peck, ex-Member Of Congress, of that
State Secretary.
From the indications given thus far
the "Greer" is expected to prove a
flowing well. 1t is three feet in the
sand rock, and .7l5 feet deep 5
The property-of the West Pithole
CO., is only four miles from the Rail
road at Miller's Station and is inter-
sected by tho Franklin and Warren
turnpike, one-eigth of a mile north of
Paxton and about two miles from
the United States well. TtuSvile Dai-

4 Now Wey 81 poing Things.

We see by tho local in the Detroit
Tribune that tan effort IS beiag made 20
establish Young Mems Association
here, upon the plan of the Detroit
Young Mems Association. The or
ganization has been perfected, aud the
following officers elected; Ill. Q. Pot
ter, President; q. Fred, Lewis, Secy;
q. B. Boardman, Cor Secretary Il.
G. Storrs, Treasurer.
Such a thing is, and properly man
aged, will be, good thing, but we
are of the opinion that "the managers"
will have an up hill time if they keep
all their doings as secret as they did
their organization. We know OF some
towns where such matters are deemed
of sufficient importance TO give the
public notice of the organization
through the town papers, but it seems
such is not the case here. Not few
people who would take a deep inter-
est in such an association knew moth
ing of its organization until they saw
it in the Tribune. Indeed, it is repor-
ted some Of its officers elected first
learned it through the same source
We hope in future that the manger"
will not feel it his interest to keep the
meetings Of the Young Mems Associ-
alton too profoundly secret Enter
prise, Agyust -
The very head and front of the Of
Tending alleged, on the part Of the
committee of the Lecture Association,
who were previously directed to call
meeting for the formation of Young
Mems Society, is that they did not
give sufficient notice. We know moth
ing about the circumstances. 1t was
the first meeting Of the kind we have
visited, but getting notice accident
ally, and being accidentally in town
that day, we dropped in. The atten-
dance was fair, more being present
than is customary on such occasions,
the object, to organize under law
that the machinery might be in oper-
alton for the business of the winter,
was effected, and a committee appoin-
ted to draft bylaws to be adopted
hereafter, which bylaws Will, of
course, prescribe the conditions to
which all members will be subject
The insinuations as to management"
chicanery, etc, are, it seems to us,
quite gratuitous and not little mali
cious in their inteut. We modestly
hope they may occasion no serious
disaster to the society.

A Woman on "waterfalls.D


Mrs. l.. Maria Child writes a letter
to the Independent in the course Of
which she uses the following language
in regard to the latest fashions in hair:
Thinking of the great and blessed
work done during these last four years
by women in the Sanitary Commis-
sions, the hospitals and tho school
houses, for the emancipated, L seemed
to SEQ a bright light dawning on our
future career. But.the vision reeeded
in tho distance, when I looked from
my window and saw a bevy Of dam
sels sailing by, with hen-coops in their
skirts, and upon their heads rimless
pan of straw with feather in it - ut
terly useless for defense against wind
or sun. fff~ rfgrV fc.sf
To mako this unbecoming head
gear still more nngraceful, there de-
scends from it something called by the
flowing name of waterfall, but which,
in fact, looks more like n cabbage in n
net, tricked out with beads and wam-
pun. If i had met them in Western
forests i should have taken them for
Ojibbeway squaws, but theiY dress was
Ia mode Parisienne. This tyranny of
France is, 1 Isuppose, one of the things
that must be endured, because IL can
not be helped, until our brains ore
better developed. In process of time,
] trust the Empress Eugene will sleep
with her illustrious ancestors, and thnt
no fantastic queen Of fashion viii
como after her TO lead the civilized
world such a fools dance. What a
set of monkeys we are, in feathers
and furbelows, dancing to the tune of
that imperial show-woman. srn

IMPARTIAL SUFFRAGE MOVE
MENT,

The Importance of carrying through, to a
successful issue, at the earliest moment, the
design of removing the last vestige of slavery
from this portion of the national domain, and
OF establishing here at the seat of the Gov.
ernment, the doctrine that all men are created
free and equal, in all its length and BREADTH
cannot be exaggerated. The abolition of
slavery was for many years the primary OBJ
jective point of the Army of Progress That
carried, the rest followed. Now, let us not
fail in the effort to bring the General Gov.
ernment to offer to the States the conclusive
force of its example in this matter of man
hood suffrage.
To this end all now seems to go well with
us. In the late elections the boldest policy
has been the most successful, as it always is.
five are not misinformed, six thousand of
colored men in this District have shown that
they have the Massachusetts qualification,
by signing their names to the petition now
being circulated, and the number will be
greatly increased before the meeting of Con-
gress. Now let the progressive white men

they left that city, on a special train, at 8
