Another Valuable Inyen-
ti0I.

Gates BACK SUCTION PREVENTOR FOR
Oil WELLS, patented Angus. Is. 1871, which en-.
rely prevents the ingress Of air in oil wells while
the tubing is being drawn. II isa well known fact
TO Oil operators, that upon wells where Gas Pump.
are used 1t is necessa to preserve as nearly per.
feet vacuum as possible, and thst no air should be
let into the well, at any tme when it can possibly
be avoided; consequently, whenever the tubing i,
drawn fr nj well it Is the cause of great injury to
1t, as the stuing box, being then necessarily OPEN
ed, the air immediately rushes back between the
tubing and casing. into the well going into tie oil
rock and gas veins, and cor sequently causinc the
Oil and gas to rush back to n great distance. So
much so, that it almost always takes several DAYS
after pumping Is resumed for well to be brought
back to Its former condition, and oftentimes it takes
several weeks and quite frequently wells have been
almost completely ruined by tie air being thus let
in while drawing tubing
The BACK.SUCTION PREvENTUR is attached
to the stating box and works in such way that II
completely shuts up the space between the snfinp
box and tubing effectually that not pnrtice OF
air can get through at any time while the tubing IL
being drawn and replaced. 1t supplies want long
felt, and is, without question: one of the most val
liable inventions of the day, to those eng ged in the
oil business No well should be without it, as II of
ten times saves ten times lis cost by once using.

The election In Vermont viii take place to-
morrow, so that within the next forty hours
we may expect to hear the news al an old
fashioned Republican victory away up among
the Green mountains, In the earlier stages
of the campaign the Greeley organs used to
tell US that Vermont was by no means 90 GER
tain, and that her Intelligent sons would,
what they called, mark their condemns
ton" Of the present Administration. But
somehow the Liberals have not been qdlte so
confident lately. In fact, they have given up
the fight, and acknowledge that Greeleylsm
has made very little heAdway there. Since
1856 abe has given uninterrupted Republican
mAjOrltles. Fremont carried 1t by IS, 497 ma.
jority, aud Mr.. Lincoln by 22,972 In 1850.
Four years later she gave him "a ,09S, which
was increased to 81, l22 for General Grant
The average majority at state elections has
been q, 600, the lowest In sixteen years hay
Ing been 1860, and the highest "a, 3e6.
P.S.-In our news columns will be found
a special dispatch from capable and trust
worthy correspondent at Burlington on the
situation. II will be seen that he dlscredlts
the calculation OF the Greeley organs, that
the majority Of year ago will be reduced
by ave thousand votes. The more sangulne
Republicans estimate that we shall have our
old majority OF thirty thousand. In any
event, even II we should only have twenty
thousand majority, the lowest figure counted
upon, Vermont will send no aid or comfort

THE Chicago Tribune describes Gen.
Pleasonton's experiments on the effects Of

"In q grapery partly glazed with violet glass,
young vines developed with unprecedented
rapidity Grosser organisms showed similar re-
suits. A newborn calf, not expected 70 live,
was put under violet glass in January. Its do
VelOpinent was mATpellOus.' Between March
and May It grew slK inches in height. Four
pigs were put In an ordinary pen, and four her
pigs, Of equal size and age, we're put In a pen on
Witch violet colOred light fell. The latter quar-
tOtts were ready for the butcher long before the
fOTmer-A result doubtless far more agreeable
to General PleasontOn than TO General Pleason'
toms pigs"
All this was told 10 our columns several
months ago, and we refer TO II now simply
TO offer a suggestion to PleasontOn aud the
party TO which he belongs. The Greeley
party Is evidently on the decline, and unless
something Is done there will not be trace
Of II left by November. We have no desire
To see 1t die In this way because we want TO
see something like an opposition in the field,
merely TO keep up the fun and excitement of
the campaign. Pleasonton ought to put all
the little liberal and illlberal pigs into pen
and let his cOlOred light 10 upon them.
There Is no telling what good 1t may accom-.
pllsh. II there be any truth IN Pleasonton's
theories Ii will lead TO vigorous, healthy
development, the very thing they need so
much at present.

nothing whatever about the straight.out
movement, has entirely dissIpated their cal
culatlons, and, according to the present situa-
ton Of the canvass, six Of the above States
must be transferred from Mr.. Greeley TO
General Grant by every one who would form

Of all there Is Alabama. The strong State
ticket that has been put in the field renders
