EXUBERANT HEALTH IS BLESSING
vouchsafed to few. Even those who have been
favored by nature with strong constitutions and
vigorous frames are apt to neglect the precau-
tons nocef sary to preserve these precious endow-
ments. Indeed, as a rule, the more healthy and
robust o man is, the more liberties he is inclined
to take with his own physique. It is some conso-
lation to the naturally weak and feeble to know
that they can be 30 invigorated and built up by a
proper use of the means which science has placed
at their disposal, as to have much better chance
OF long life and exemptions from disease and pain,
foolish enough to suppose themselves inyulnerable
and act accordingly.
1t Is not too much to say that moro than half
the people of the civilized world need an occasional
tonic, to enable them to support the strain upon
their bodies and minds which the fast life Of this
restless age occasions. In fact, pure, wholesome,

THE OIL REGIONS OF ONO.
(SECOSD LETTER.
TO tho Editors of the GntellIgcnccr:


TO tho Editors OF the IntellIgencer:
MARIETTA, OHIO, Jan. IS, 1869.
When the boat whIstled yesterday
morning, i think / was speaking OF the
flowing wells of the Cow Run region.
l stated, if ! am not mistaken, that the
two wells of Messrs. Perkins, Hervey
Il Co. were now yielding an aggregate
of 90 barrels per day-of their own
"sweet will" (By-the-by, two MEM
bers of this company, the brothers
Hervey, are. l believe. residents of
your city, or at least live so near
to Wheeling that they are we'll
known among the business men. }
The discharge OF oil from the flowing
wells is n phenomenon at once singular
and interesting. A flowing well does
not emit a steady or a constant stream
of oil, but the discharge is at regular
and nearly equal intervals. For ten or
fifteen minutes nothing but gas will
issue from the pipe, at the end of which
time the oil appears and is elected in
Jets, often with considerable violence.
The periods OF flow and cessation are
about equal, and during any twenty
four hours these will be found to vary
scarcely any. i'll am not in error, no
satisfactory theory has yet been estab-
lished accounting for these peculiarities
of the flowing wells. From the last
two wells mentioned, within little
less than two months previous to date,
oil to the amount of $4,000 has been
sold. This little plum is to be divided
among five partners, but even after the
division the amount is by no means
insignificant.
Mr.. Williams well, which had nell
nigh escaped notice, is the lowest down
upon the stream. and is now pumping
ten barrels per day. This finishes the
list of wells.
But just above the last well, and in
immediate proximity to those of Messrs.
Perkins, Hervey ~ Co., is long frame,
or rather board building, which we
are told, is the Pipe Company's works.
Entering the building, two large boil
ers are seen, and just beyond them, Il
miniature institution, known as II
donkey" which is engaged in pump
ing oil into a large pipe. by this pipe
the oil is semi across the hillS,-a dis

pipe is laid directly along the stream,
tapping all the producing wells, ana
conveying the oil into huge
tanks, belonging to the Trans.
portatiOn Company, and here it is
gauged or measured, aud the meas
nrement of the Company is the
standard in buying and selling. The
oil is delivered on the bank of the Ohio
at IL cost of forty cents per barrel, and
owing to the facilities for hauling, pur-
chasers generally prefer to buy at the
wells, and the larger part of the oil is
sold for delivery there. The capacity
OF The tubing admits the passage of
four hundred barrels of oil in twenty
four hours. Perhaps L should say per-

SALARIES.

The question of salaries is attracting
some attention i'll our State and the
prevailing opinion seems TO be that the
Constitutional provision tOrbidding the
increase of wages for the time Tor
which AN incum bent is elected, does not
work as well AS expected. The object
is to ensure low salaries the effect has
been to make low enough salaries, but
at The expense OF efficiency in the oIli-
GERS. Small pay does not diminish the
number of candidates, but only lowers
their grade. In this way the economy
Of the arrangement has become qucs.
tiOnable, as competent and responsible
men will not have the Offices, unless
paid such salaries aS will Justify them
in dCvOting as much time and attention
as will enable them to fill them salts
tactOrily to themselves, especially, aS in
many cases the official bond required 20
be given is large, and sometimes hard
to be filled. Incompetent and irrespon
sible candidates for any office whatever,
though, are always to be found in
abundance, and though giving the re-
QuiSIte bond is sometimes very difficult,
they can generally DO elected AS readily
as better men.
The present constitutional arrange
ment adopted on n specie basis, practi-
Cally precludes any increase in salaries,
no matter how much the expenses OF
living increase, the currency depreciates
or the duties of the Office be increased,
for on the eve of any election, no can
didate goes before the voters with de-
mand for more wages. That would DO

lions. The tendency is rather in the
other direction. When once elected,
where there is any authority TO increase
the wages before the official is quail
fled, the authorities will generally be
found obdurate, and when once quail
fed, the constitutional inhibition comes
in as bar for the remainder of the
term.
Economy in salaries is good thing,
but il is possible to err even on the side
of economy. A fair days work for
fair days pay is very good rule and
works both ways.
Until the constitution can be amend
ed on this point, discussion will proba-
bly, not amount to much, but if it ever
comes to be amended, some elasticity
here would probably be found to con-

To the EIItor of the Intellgeucer:
The statement in your paper few
mornings since in regard 10 the Pea
body fund, contained several errors in
the figures, which were doubtful typo
graphical. Without correcting them
here, would beg leave to say, that the
agent OF the fund made his appropria-
tions before l had any consultation or
correspondence with him. AS his in
Icntions had been made known to the
parties Immediately interested, did
not feel at liberty to interfere in the re-
hottest manner with his arrangements
for the first year. Since then, hOwev-
ar, / have had correspondence with
DR.. Sears, the agent, and shall be pre-
pared to present our school affairs in
such manner as will secure, nope, 81
more favorable distribution of the
funds allotted to this State the ensuing
year. i respectfully invite suggestions
from school officers and friends of edu-
cation, from different sections of the
State. This will be laid before the
agent. Correspondents will remember
that one feature of the plan OF distribu-
ton is to apply she fu nds where teach
ers, who have not the means of educa-
ting themselves, can be aided in Sc
curing thorough qualification for
their profession. These benefactions
are bestowed annually, and it is possi-
BILE that in some cases, those apprOpri
ated to one place this year, may be de-
voted TO another place next year.
