SELECTION OF 4 SITE

SELECTION OF SITE.
| Very much depends upon chance in
the selection of sites for sinking wells,
yet. there are, III many cases, certain
outward indications of somarked char
acter, as almost from the beginning to
insure success, There are, however,
certain g oil witches'' who pretend to
designate the precise points, at Which
these wells may be sunk with success.
There are two classes of these witches,
one Of which uses the witch hazel =
and the other the " oil indicator" The
latter is an ingenious contiiyance, which
the inventor claims will designate th9
locality of oil deposits, and the point a,
which wells may be sunk. These are
,generally considered hpmbugs, and The
bselection of u site depends altogether
upon chance TN 49, eI.c.s

The issue OF this week completes nine
years Of our connection with the Ottumws
Courier, circumstance somewhat interest
Ing 70 ourself, il to nobody else.
These nine years have been fruitful Of
events interesting and important to us in
this locality, and especially momentous in
the worlds history.
1t ia extremity interesting to recall the
improvements which hav. been made around
rs. both private and public, within thess
years. We must note with pleasure ou'
progress in population, wealth, educstion
and in . 4 those things 80 essential to the
comfort and happiness ofa civilized com.
munity.
We may dwell upon the record Of remov-
al, by death from orr midst Of 50 many III
our friends and neighbors with mournful
interest.
So FAR AZ our town il concerned, We have
se.n Il grow from mere village to city
crowded with population. and busy with
manufacturing and commercial enterprise.
This period. too. is signalized BY the com
mencement and progress ofthe greatest con-
flicf in history. that between freedom and
slavery, . conflict which has ended in re.
beIlion and . war Of most fearful magni.
tude.
The Republican party, also, has been
formed and grown to its present strength
within the period named. II has indeed
been period Of political excitement, IS well
~ Of social convnlsion.
With al these events. the Courier within
Its spherr has had 10 do, and 1t is with
proud satisfaction that we can to.,lay point
To our county redeemed from . corrupt
snd spurious democracy ard under the con.
troll and influence of the party of progress
and freedom.
In this connection we may say that du-
ring the exciting period through which We
have past. our humble course a. journalist,
has met with the approval Of some, while il
would be strange If it had not encountered
the oisapprobation Of others. The heat oil
debate, the struggle and competition for
place, the conflict Of private interest and the
Jealousy Of contending factions, has neces.
sArily made for M some friends. and il may
bc some enemies. We may affirm, however
truthfully. that Il has ever been our pur
pose to promote harmony and success q
