senatorial Delegate.

Hon. John S. Mann, of Potter County, is
presented by that county as Senatorial Del
egate to represent this District in the March
Convention. Mr.. Mann is a gentleman of
ability, and would do credit to the District in
the Convention. Before we commit ourselves
in his favor, however we would like to know
how he stands on the Gubernatorial question.
We believe the sentiment OF this County is
decidedly in favor of a military man for a
candidate, provided he is competent for the
place II such an one cannot be found, then
we want candidate selected from the Re-
publican party-a man who has worked in
the traces of the party at least for five years
past We are opposed to nominating "latter-
aay-saints." We have had a surfeit of those
kind of nominations within the past few years,
and we now propose to go in for men who
have been "tried and not found wanting"
re- The above from the Mexican Mnar
meets with our hearty approval. We believe
in supporting men for all and every position,
who have been weighed in the balance" and
NOT 'found wanting" We cannot speak
knowingly for Mr. Mann, but friend informs
us that he is positive his inclinations and
influence lean strongly to the side of Gen,
John W. Geary. That he has approved of
Gen. Geary's course ever since the Kan
sas Gubernatorial question, We know. The
people in this county seem to think of no one
but Gen. Geary in connection with that posi-
ton the people of Tioga through their organ
have signifed their desire for his nomination !;
Mexican county, if we can judge correctly the
tenor of the above article, is influenced by
the same spirit and finally Mr.. Mann is rep
resentative, and we know would safely, ably,
and conscientiously support the choice of his
constituents. We have not an opinion from
our friends in Clinton, but we have great
faith in their republicanism, and believe that
"they feel as we feel" 1t has been long
time-so long that the memory Of the oldest
inhabitant runneth not to the contrary-since
we were represented in a State Convention
by Senatorial Delegate, and as Mr.. Mann was
one of the pioneers of Republicanism in this
section, we felt that it was compliment
which he deserEsd, and are glad that it has
met with the just approval of our neighbors.

Large Fire in franklin.

FRANKLIN, Feb. IA fire which broke out
here at 4 o'clock, a. NJ. to-day destroyed
twenty -four buildings in the centre of the
town, including the postoffice, the Lamberton
House, Stanford's Theatre and the Masonic
building, which was just completed. The
entire loss is estimatee at $500, 900, about one
half of which is insured, principally in East
ern companies. When the FIRE broke out a
strong wind prevailed, which ceased about 6
o'clock, A. NJ. The fremen were then enabled
to get control Of the flames; but for this nearly
the whole business part of the town would
have been destroyed. All the mail matter
was saved, The fire originated ina brothel.

PREDICTIONS FOR THE YEAR lS66.-The year
1866 will be q very eventful one to every
maiden who gets married. -t~
Throughout the whole course of the year.
whenever the moon wanes the nights will
grow dark.
If dandies wear their boards there will be
less work for BARRIERS. He who wears nous
tache will have something to sneeze at.
Whoever is in love this year will think his
mistress an angel Whoever gets married
will find out whether tits true
He that loses his hair this year will grow
bald. nt
He that loses his wife will become a wild
over. -.... -.... ....
If young lady should happen to blush she
will look red in the face. If she dreams of a
young man three nights in succession, it will
be sign Of something. Ifshe dreams of him
four times or have the toothache, it is ten to
one that she is long time getting either of
them out of her head.
Ifany one jumps overheard without know
ing how to swim, it is two TO one that he gets
drowned. -..
If any one lends an umbrella, it is ten to
one he is obliged to go home in the rain for
his pains.
Whoever runs in debt this year will be
dunned.
Many an old sinner will resolve to turn
over new leaf this year, but the new leaf
will turn out blank.
II is probable that if there is no business
doing, people will complain of hard times,
but it is certain that those who hang them
selves will escape starving to death.-AHen-

ORR OH, WELL,

OUR OIL WELL.
Mr.. Gordnier informs us that he has pro-
lcured>the lease of one thousand acres ofland,
and has the promise of as much more, be-
sides two thousand acres from parties who
leased the land some time ago, but did not
improve it, and who have stated their will
ingness to assign their leases to this company
He reports forty shares subscribed on his list
but cannot report from the other as he has
not seen it lately. The engine is at Wells
vile, and will be brought to this place some
time this week. He will leave the latter part
of the week for Titusville to procure necessary
tools to commence the work. If the lease of
the Eulalia Farm, south of the village, can be
procured, one of the first wells will doubtless
be put down on it.
| Such is statement of the progress of those
who are in pursuit of oil in Potter That they
have every reason to believe they will be sue
cessful in their effort is being every day more
| fully proven. The recent "strike" of oil IN
Bradford county, which we publish below and
doubt, is strong practical argument in favor
of immediate action in our valley. The very
nature of the country is such, that if oil is
found in paying quantities east of the region
delominated the ''oil region" it surely must
be here. We have the coal, and many sur
face indications which they have not at many
places where traces of oil have been found.
They found oil at Whitesville, but just when
they had succeeded their tools became fast in
the well, since which time they have notbeen
able 70 do much. We were informed few
days since that they would soon be in active
operation again, with very fair show of get
ting a sufficient quantity of oil to make it pay.
Let our citizens accept this opportunity
and make such use Of it as wise men should
The Shares are put at a low figure that all
might take part-the amount will be paid in
nstaIments. There are very few who are
not able to take one, two, or three shares, at
least. If success crown our efforts, there are
none SO blind but that they can see the great
advantages which must accrue to them-ifwe
fail, the loss will be small, and we will have
the satisfaction of knowing that we did our
duty. Remember the old motto: 'Nothing
ventured, nothing won"
OLA SYLvANlA,--We..are informed by an
individual coming from the Sylvania Well to-
day, that there Is nothing surer than the strik
ing of oil there, and that the well has been
flowing since Tuesday morning at rapid rate.
Mr.. E. G. Tracy was in town yesterday with
specimens of this oil, which he himself took
from the well, and which is pronounced by all
those who have seen it, as being ofa superior
quality Operations with the drill have been
suspended, and we doubt not but that imme- |
diate preparations for procuring Tanks, Bar
rels, ARE now being made by Superintend-
ent Geo. Y. Pomeroy who Is the fright man in
the right place" and who possesses the ener-
gy and snap to push this thing to its fullest
extent. This certainly is good news for this
section of Bradford, and it gives US pleasure
to herald it. Hurrah for Sylvahia say we

SIR MoRTo PRTo.-rhe subjoined brief
sketch of Sir Morton Peto, the leading spirit
in the Atlantic & Great Western Railroad
Company will be read with interest:
Morton Peto commenced life as mechanic
and by dint of honest industry and enterprise
has gained the title of The Railway King of
the World Heis represented as being talk
atiye and agreeable person, careful in his
bearing and speech, and devoted member
of the Baptist church. He heads the railway
interest of England, and is largely interested
in several American lines, prominent among
which is the Atlantic & Great Western. He
controls the employment of one hundred thou
sand men, and his speculations embrace the
United States, Canada, Russia, Austria, Italy,
Peru, New Zealand and Australia. The la
borers on the lines he regulates, are said to
really outnumber the fighting British army.
He is largely interested in the operations of
subterranean London, where his workmen
are picking night and day, and his engines
rumbling under the foundations of quiet
bouses. 1t is said that in the empire of Aus
tria alone, eight thousand men eat his bacon,
and this is but small portion of his army of
laborerS. His late visit to the United States
will likely result in still larger investments.
He is certainly entitled to the name Railway
King though his habits dnring his visit have
been of rigid republican simplicity.
