OAKENNoLD, May 9th, 1870.
Mr. W. HAWKINS In compliance with your re-
quest, state what has been my experience OF Inc
Wheeler & Wilson Sewing machine.
About twelve years ago Il think in the winter
of 1857-5S) bought full-cased Wheeler Will
son at head quarters in New York.
This instrument has been in use ever since
perhaps as constantly as any machine of the sort
ever has been III a private family, and has per-
formed every style of work from the Gghtest to
the heaviest fabrics.
Mrs Frazier desires me to say that it has given
her great satisfaction-that it has never in all
that time gotten so out Of order or repair that
she could not herself at once restore it to good
working order And now that you have added
all the modern improvements of the last dozen
years she finds it as complete and as nearly per-
feet as she can imagine such an instrument to be.
Very Respectfully, VIM. FRAZJDR.

FlEND1su.--The Tenth Legion Banner says some
fend went into a pasture field of Mr.. George
Copenhaver, and with sharp instrument mu-
tilated one of his fine farm horses that he died
within two hours. The cutting was in both sides,
in the breast and neck. Mr.. C. has suspicion
of the perpetrator.
About the best thing that could be done for the
inhuman scoundrel in the event of his apprehen-
sion, would be: to loop rope arounl his neck,
elevate him few yards andlet him dance jig
in mid-air.

able excitement exists in the eastern part
Of that county over flowing oil well near
Wolfcreek. A depth of s74 feet had been
reached, when the tools were forced up
ward and a jet of water thrown up to the
height Of fifty feet above the derrick. The
water is propelled by strong discharge OF
gas. At first the only indication of OF. was
the strong smell of the gas, but soon the
water came up mixed with the genuine oil.
At last accounts the gas was still issuing
from the well in undiminished volume. at
intervals forcing up jets of water and OIL
Much excitement prevails in the vicinity,
and it is rumored that several new wells
ate about to be put down.
