The Stella Petroleum COMPANY.

We would call the attention of purchasers
of Petroleum stock, to the advertisement of the
Stella Petroleum Company ~ by John G.
Proctor, and the following from the Daily I'm
ion, Brooklyn: se,-,f M A.. ..s.. -''e
This Company has been organized under
the laws OF the State of New York Tor the pur-
pose OF developing its valuable oil lands in
Pennsylvania. By glancing over the pros
pectus we see the names of many of our best
citizens. Our largest business men are repre-
sented in this Company. sedfses asie -
The fee simple property is situated In the very
heart of the oil regions, and consists OF TWEEN.
ty acres, a part of the celebrated Barrett
farm, on Pithole Greek, near the United
States Well, now flowing 280 barrels daily.
The Company intends to sink wells on this
property Immediately. Also two acres In fee
on Cherry Run, near the Humboldt Works.
This properly is near large wells, and fee sim
pie property on Cherry Run can hardly be
purchased Tor any price. Leases on part of
this same farm have been granted for bonus
as high as $4,000 for half the oil, The two
acres can be divided in seven leases, so it's
real value can hardly be calculated Wells
will be put down as soon as possible, the en-
tire product to belong to the company. &
The FStells" also owns in fee twelve acres
on Pthole, above the U. S, Well. The Ha-
worth Farm is believed to be fully as valuable
as the Smith Farm on Cherry Run. Also, l02
acres on the Mcguire Run, and I02 acres on
Dun Run. Both OF the farms are near the
Economic wells, and believed to be of great
value. In fact, the fee simple property OF this
company will compare with any company yet
organized with the same amount of capital.
The company has the whole working inter-
est in several leases on Henry Bend and Pit
hcle Run, on two of which wells are being put
down, and will be delivered to the company
free of egpenSe. The leases are near the celesl
brated Hey Yell, which has flowed over
700 barrels per day. ~ II
The Company has working interest--a
well being put down-on Prather Farm, Cher
ry Run. This well is a short distance from the
new well just struck, flowing $50 barrels per
day. oa 81
We cannot spare the space to enumerate all
the valuable property and interests belonging
to this Company The interests in the La
dy Washington" the Colby" and the Gam
azonn Wells, all OF which are large producing
wells, is sufficient to insure regular monthly
dividends to stockholders, and place the Com
pany at once on footing with the "Excelsi-
or" " Brooklyn" and ether dividend paying
companies. ~ 5ssn
The men at the head of this company are
well Known to our citizens. The President is
Samuel Booth, ESQ.,; Vice-President John
French, Esq, Mr.. YIN, A. Fowler is also a
large stakeholder. e9b
We believe the "Stella to be as safe an in
vestment as any Company yet organized, there
| fore we commend it to our Petroleum friends.

Rebel Reports of the Defeat of EGrlg-Moye-
nseHts of Gen. Sherman. aa
New YORK, March 8.
The Herald's City Point correspondent of
the 9Th, says rebel deserters and refugees COM
ing into our lines before Richmond, confirm
the report already published that Gen. Sheri-
dan had captured the rebel Gen. Early and
nearly his entire army, on Thursday and Fri
day last, in the Shenandoah Valley, between
Charlottesville and Staunton, 1t is believed
that Gen. Sheridan is now well advanced on
his way to Lynchburg or Richmond, in which
ever Way he may design. " -s-..r. =
The Tribune's Washington dispatch saws it
is reported from Hancock's headquarters at
Winchester, Va, that Sheridan has defeated
Early, but that Early is not captured.
The Herald's Wilmington correspondent of
the 23d says reports have reached that place
confirming the statement that Sherman had
reached Cape Fear River, six miles above
Wilmington, previous to the LIST, thus battling
the rebel plans 10 concentrate their forces
against him, and forcing battle rear Colds
boro' with the advantages in their favor. 50
The Wilmington Journal, in an article lust
previous to our occupation of that place, ad-
mtted that unless Sherman was speedily
checked, Richmond would have to be eyacu-
ated.
The Herald's City Point dispatch says there
were rumors in the army of the Potomac that
Sherman had defeated Johnston in heavy
battle, and captured $1,000 prisoners. 4.

Lecture Before the Young Mems Christian
Association. .1ar aaa

Rev. A. A. Willets of Brooklyn, N. Y, de-
livered his lecture last evening at City Hall.
BE was introduced by Capt Sturdevant. The
audience was not large. but it ought to have
been and would kavs been if our citizens could
have anticipated the rich treat which Mr..
Willets gave TO those who attended. He chose
for his subject the Man for the Age, and most
admirably did he handle it. We say with en-
phasis it was one Of the best and most inter-
estng lectures ever delivered in that hall. In
ideas, language, manner of delivery and pathos
it has not been excelled by lecture here the
winter past. sa oaR lA
He said all history teaches us that all the
truly great men whose names have come down
to us were men adapted to the age in which
they lived. They were born for their times.
The lecturer then considered some of the most
prominent characteristics of the present age,
and most eluquently illustrated them as he
proceeded in his discourse. This age is char
acterizad by energy or earnestness, intelli-
gence, Christianity and humanity. No proceed
ing ages have ever come up to the present,
and no young man could expect to excel and
write his name high on the scroll OF fame I'M
less he was in sympathy with the times and
acted up to them. He must have, too, high
moral character and be governed by the prin-
ciples of truth and honor and justice The
age demanded such men, and such men would
be recognized and receive their re ward. The
lecturer closed with reading Longfellow's poem
Excelsior" interpreting it with remarks and
illustrations, and impressing on the hearts of
all the beauty, pathos and grandeur Of this
poem. We have never heard it repeated with
such true elcquence and honor. In his read
ing it he most admirably introduced the dra-
matte element, of which he possesses no incon-
siderable share. 1t was a fitting close for
such lecture, and all were highly gratified.
Mr.. Willets has also a vein OF sarcasm which
he can open at any moment the subject de-
mands it. And he did occasionally prick this
vein in the course of his lecture, and some
characters were severely scorched. The
croakers and old fogies got most severe
dressing. Their true characters were painted
to the life Speaking OF Sherman he remark
ed, there were those who said he was in dan
ger, and they feared he would lose his army.
Such were always prophecying evil. He
brought down the house and the women clap
ped their hands and the men stamped their
feet. There we're two men on the platform
with the lecturer. One of them loudly ap-
plauded him, but the other didn't And
thereby hangs a tale which we shall not tell
now. Running all through the lecture was
the spirit Of true patriotism which thrilled
every loyol heart. sg1 q T54iA
