Of! thse Peunsylvapia soil diggins.'" This
statement. While we claim for our locality
superior advantages in location, cost Of ope-
rating, price Of oil, and gold as basis, we
do not claim to be equal in amount Of pro-

real facts Of the case are: we arc as yet in our

gross e1aggeration, as has been done by your

As to parties interested here and their .tctus,
the same allowance must be made as IN his

On the same day that our sporting men had
their dog fight, the eportsnen OF Michigan
had fox hunt. The result in the former case
was two dogs Killed, and in the latter two
foxes Killed. Usage has made fox hunting

sports when tame foxes arc employed, aud
turned out Of aees to be torn In pieces By dogs,

fox hunting is found In the predatory habits
of the animal and his fonducss for chickens.

csally livclSor sportive when thrust out Of

In which yen make the aggregate amount Of

You do not seem to be aware, Mr.. Editor,
thnt Jefferson county extends south Of ut.

fact, and baye bought cotton as follows:

which was raised in this county-4he Spring

yolt may change your figures and aay very
safely that Jefferson county raised neaf half a

We cheerfully change tho figures. and hope
