A line strike" was made BY Messrs.
Hall and Gtlhllan at Burning Springs,
on the 2lst ult., In the well known al
the "Wilson well.n This well, located
on the "AtchiHon tract,n was bored q

Wheeling, and was abandoned about
ono year ngo, without ever producing
oil, and, In Mct, without being falEly
tested. Some six or eight weeks ago II
came into possession Of the present own.
err, who, alter sinking II some forty feet
deeper, struck a ctevice which
caused the well to flow, After many
yexatious delays In getting II
tubed, IL was finally put IN
working trim, and commenced flowing
with such force that the wotkmen were
unable TO get out all the sucker rods,
and Il ls now flowing with half ofthem
In.
One peculiar characteristic OF this
we'll IL, that u produces nothing but
in il. It's How Is continual and steady,
and the dow OF gas quite moderate.
Good judges have estimated It's pro.

producing as much, and possibly more.

Smith, of farkersburg. We congratu-
late them on their good fortune.

runupt TO the square and workmen were
yesterday Engaged in putting the roof

Of tho church there has been no at

Il has an air Of solldlty in keeping with

DECORATING SOLDIERS GRAVES
The members of Post No. 20. A. r.,
located In Elizabeth, Writ county, met
at their headquarters on Sunday last,
and after completing the arrangements
proceeded to the cemetery, in which are
buried two Union soldiers, Tor the pur-
pose of carrying out the orders of Gen.
Logan, Grand Commander. The graves
were decorated with garlands and bou,
quets of choice flowers. While the day
was not the one mentioned In the order
named. yet It was proper that itshould
be done even II not carried out al the
preclsetime. Objections might be made
to the day on which the decoration
was done, but II no praiseworthy deed
was performed until all the caviliugs OF
fault finders were met, the world would
witness but few exhibitions OF the good
and beautiful. Now that this practice
Of offering an.nnnual floral tribute to
tho memory Of our fallen braves has
been fully inaugurated, we hope 1t will
be continued while there Is a solitary
Federal soldier left who took part In
the late great struggle.

AT woRK.-The Street Commissioner
has had Tor several days party Of
men engaged In repairing the broken
places in the street pavements. in
various portions OF the city. We do not
remember to have ever seen so many
spots where the bordering has been
completely worn through and torn up.
The heavy leaning on some OF our
principal streets Is too severe for the
old style Of paving, but we presume 1t
would be useless to suggest the Mich.
olson or some other modern plan OF
pavement. Our fathers went humping
and humping over the boulders. We
suppose their descendants 10 the latest
generation will be compelled to follow
In their foot steps, and experience for
all lime to come that Jordan is n
hard road TO travel"

HORSE KnIED.--The train on the
Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad,
yesterday, ran over a horse about a
mile above Martlnsvillc. The animal
was discovered on The track by the en-.
gineer, and the whistle sounded long
and loud to frighten him from 1t, In.
ateud OF seeking a less dangerous To-
Gality, the horse started of AZ brisk
gqlop 10 front of the locomotive, and
for Observation-Disclosures kept the lead. But
he was unequal TO the task, and before
the train could be brought 10 a stop, he
was struck by the pilot and thrown OF
the track. LAS horse" lie was rem

Wiu..Timoer Grow In Prairie Soil

The following letter from DIR. White,
State Geologist, to the Iowa Homestead
will be particularly interesting to al
western farmers
Sioux CRY, Iowa, Aug. %, 1868.
FRIEND MILLER In conversation
with several prominent scientific men
during the late meeting of the Amer
lean Association for the Advancement
Of Science, at Chicago, | was surprised
and disappointed to learn that some OF
them still adhere to the opinions they
long ago expressed, that the pralries
are such IN consequence OF an assumed
untitness OF the soil for the growth of
forest trees. 1t a mere difference of
opinion among scientific men were all
that is involved in the promul CATION of
such IDEAS, | should never trouble YOU
or your readers about them But if
such opinions prevail, the necessary in
ference is that timber cannot be grown
upon our prairies even by careful cul-
| tivation. | know it will seem almost
puarile to the older residents OF Iowa
to discuss such a question az this, for
they have had constantly before their
eyes proofs OF the tallacy of the opin-
ions referred to; but the evil effects of
such opinions, and the wrong they viii
DO IS to those who have never visited
the west, but who contemplate making
it the future home for themselves and
their children, and with whom the
opinions of men who have made name
in science very naturally have weight.
For this reason | earnestly entreat
you, both in season and out of season,
to keep the fact before your readers
that all kinds of our Indigenous trees
will flourish upon all varieties of our
prairie soil wherever the annual fires
are kept out, even those whose chosen
habitat is upon the alluvial soil OF the
river valleys. That it is not even nec-
essary to success that the soil should
have any preparation, for it will re-
qulre positive effort to prevent our
prairies from becoming timbeted lands
if the annual fires S ould cease.
The opening OF farms and the conse-
quent protection OF the adjac9St lends
trcm the fires, without any Intention
OF such result on the part Of the set
tiers has caused the springng up OF
groves and email forests to suca an ex-
tent that | have no doubt whatever,
that Iowa now contains more wood
than when it first began to be settled
Don't fail to let the people know
that our prairies will grow crop of
timber just as certainly and just as
bountifnlly as they will crop OF cora.
