The amount of oil produced per day
at Burning Springs is about three hun
dred and sixty barrels, from forty wells.
A Parkersburg Times correspondent
says: Many old wells, bored during the
eXcitem ment of 1865, and abandoned for
some time, are now being operated and
under efficient management are promi,-
Inc well. Among these the old Shat
tuck well, on the river just below the
mouth of Burning Springs Run, which
has produced nothing since 1866, though
tried by various parties, under the Wig
orous pumping of Colonel d. A. Roberts,
is producing from 10 to 10 barrels per
day. The new we'll of d. o. James,
Esq, on the Bakewell, Jones & Co.
Tract, is producing from 10 to II barrels
per day; this though on the general line
~ the "break," is little on tie
Western slope. Mr.. James now pro-
poses and has made contract for
putting down another well on the East
ern slope, and with his Old we'll, stu.
ated about the center of the "break,' y
now producing 80 barrels per day, will
fully develop the eastern and western
parts Of this valuable tract. Improve
ments have been made in the mode Of
handling oil, by which the expenses are
greatly reduced. A pipeline has been
laid the entire length of the run to the
river, connecting with every well pro.
ducing in paying quantities; the cost OF
transportation being from 10 to 20 cents
per barrel, according to distance. Be-
fore this line was laid, the cost fer
handling WAS from % to 60 cents per
barrel,

The CARDIFF GIANT MYSTERY.
An Old Coin Eouud in the Dirt-The
Eleventh Century on the Witness

An Old Coin Found in the Dirt-The
Eleventh Century on the Witness
Stand.
The latest from the Cardiff stone man
shows that his giantship was a man OF
means. He laid down to rest (how
many years ago) with his pockets full
of specie. The Syracuse Journal tells
the wondrous tale. Here it is:
On Saturday last, Mathew, son of DIR.
Alexander Henderson, veterinary sur
geon, of this city, while visiting the
Cardiff giant, picked up from the sur
rounding debris thrown out of the ex.
cavated resting place of this huge work
Of stone, something that seemed like a
blackensd scale of brass or rusty old
button. Thinking that it might posi-
bly, have some affinity to the wonderful
statue, the lad rubbed the dirt and rust
from its surface, between his finger and
thumb, and furnishing it little by
rubbing it in the folds of his coat skirts,
it showed evidence of being an old cop
per coin, and be accordingly placed it
carefully i'll bis pocket and brought it
hoMe. DR.. Henderson, the lads father,
applied some acids to it, when an
ancient coin, of nearly the eleventh
century, revealed itself.
On the diverse side of the coin is the
head of the Emperor Iestyn, with full
flowing beard from the chin, and the
sacred heart strung from a rosary in the
shape of shield or breast-plate strung
around the neck. Beneath the Emperor
is the date, "lO9l" Around the edge
of the CON is the following inscriptions:
Acknowledgements, Tywysog- Nor
genwg.' The Interpretation of this, as
rendered by a competent Welshman,
means Iestyn, son of Gwrgant, Prince
of Glanmorgan." On the reverse side
is the figure of the Goddess OF Com
merce, seated on the wheel; at her
side, the pillar and ancient crown
wreathed with the national emblem,
the oak, the shield and spear,
supported by the lett hand, and
the right pointing to ship on the
distant sea, with full sails set, which
she seems intently gazing at. The in
scriptiou around the circle is in the
Welsh language, and reads as follows: ::
"Y, Brenhin ar Gyfraith,' the interpre-
tation of which is. "The King and the
Laws" The coin is rs years old--oyer
seven and half centuries--and on the
edge OF the rim can be distinctly seen
: Glanmorgan Half Penny" with repre-
sentations of leaves intertwlnlng. The
denomination of the coin is Imprinted
in raised letters, and everything con-
nected with it shows it to be coin Of
the reign of the Emperor whose name
it bears. Further, in connection with
the uncarthing of the stone giant, its
discovery in the loose dirt thrown up
from the bed of the excavation where
the statue was found, and yet lies, is
certainly quite Interesting, and seems
to add to the general interest that at.
t.ches to this great and unexplained
mystery Of the nineteenth century.

be cowardly, indeed, but give me
strength to withstand and do battle
against this iniquity," which is all clap

Negro Suffrage Refore the People.

The last Legislatures of New York
and West Virginia ratified the Fifteenth
Amendment. The people of neither
State authorized such ratification. The
people of both States have now repudi'
ated it, The people of West Virginia
not only insist that the negro should not
yet be admitted to the ballot, but they
demand that the right of suffrage shall
be restored 10 all our disfranchised
white citizens. The proposition of the
sO-called liberals in this city that the
negro should be enfrauchised at once
aud the white man disfranchised as
long as possible, found very little favor
with the voting masses of the State.
Out of common decency, then, these
'loyal" folks ought to cease their clam
ors for negro suffrage, but we doubt very
much if they will do it.

Free Trade.

The Boston Advertiser, referring to the
efforts of the Free Traders, remarks that
$50 far as the signs of the times bear on
this question, if there is anything to be
trusted in them, the new West and the
renovated South are to be hereafter the
strongholds of the protective system.
Both are stretching out their hands for
the means of building up the various
industries with which the older States
have been favored, and both are asking
for the facilities which every civilized
nation under the sun has afforded under
like circumstances"
If the protective system never finds
its strongholds save in the West and
South it will have none. Whatever the
signs" may indicate, the fact is that
Southern and Western interests are op-
posed to protection, and while this is
the case they will net seek to build up
our industry at the sacrifice OF another.

i.nwIe.sness in Washington

Negroes have almost und;sputcd pos
session in Washington. They steal
plunder, waylay, beat and cut the
inhabitants Of that city in the
most miscellaneous manner, and
the fact that they are voters pre-
vents the municipal authorities, who
desire reelection, from taking them il
hand. The other night negro mob IN
the Fourth ward Of that city beat TIVE
policemen so badly that they cannot
survive, and the local msguates seemed
to take the affair as very pardonablt
bit of pleasantly. The citizens, gener
ally, think otherwise, and there is tall
of Vigilance Committee. 1t will be q
sweet com ment on "loyal' rale when the
people ia the Capital are compelled tc
take the law into their own hands, tC
preserve themselves from anarchy ant
black mobs, the direct result of tn,

At thee regular meeting of the New
York Medical Society. last evening, DIR.
Jacoby introduced the new anesthetic
invented by DR.. Liebright, in July last.
1t is called "hydrate of choral" Fif.
teen grains were injected into a rabbit,
and in ten minutes the animal became
entirely unconscious. Thirty grains in
jected into another rabbit caused death.
DR., Jacoby stated that in the course of
his practice the new agent had produced
tho most happy results. In every case,
it had been attended with perfect sue
cess, inducing, when the most powerful
narcotics had failed, u long, peaceful,
refreshing sleep, from which the patient
had walked without headache, nausea
or sickness of any kind, and always
with increased appetite.

a Little story About nr. Liucolr.

From the Titusville Pepnsylvania) Herald)
Mr.. Lincoln was much pestered by
office seekers. A gentleman from Him
ois, who thought himself peculiarly fit
ted to represent the country abroad,
followed Mr.. Lincoln with great per
tinacity, buttonholing him at all times
and in every place, without the slight
est mercy. Finally the President, With
pleasant smile asked if he could
speak Spanish. NE" "Wen, learn
Spanish, and will tell you of a good
thing you can get" After three months
of hard study the would-be diplomatic
returned to the charge, reminding tie
President of his promise, and assuring
him he had thoroughly mastered the
Spanish language. "Well,' said Mr.
Lincoln, 81 promised to tell you of a
good thing you could get. Get Don
Quixote and read it; it will make you
augh."
