THE RAYMILrOn OIL FIELD. The flow
ing we'll at Raymilton is still yielding the
same amount of oil-eight barrels per day
as when first struck, some three weeks ago.
The history Of this we'll is an anomaly in oil
operations. 1t was bored two years ago las
fall, and after an unsuccessful effort to pump
1t, It was abandoned for the time being
About three weeks ago the owners, Messrs.
Raymond Brothers, concluded to try 1t once
more. After exhsusting the water, the
valves refused to work, and upon drawing
them they were found clogged with hard
mud. The standing box was !hen drawn,
and as soon as It was lifted from its place
the we'll began to flow, aud 1t has flowed
steadily slnce, with out any perceptible
decrease. This well establishes the fact
that there 10 oil 10 that neiehborhood worth

THE Rochester Democrat is informed, by a
gentleman who recently saw A. T. Stewart
In his store, that the latter there stated that
he was opposed to Mr.. Gree,ey's election, for
the reason that the financial and commercial
interests of the country would be unsafe in
his hands.
Mr. Stewart is a fair representative of the
money interest in this county, which is favor
able to the reelection of Gen. Grant. There
is none of the uneasiness and caution, the
stagnation of business and hard money
market that have heretofore been SO marked
during Presidential campaigns. On the con-
trary money is plenty and easy in the great
centers, and trade and the mechanic arts are
as prosperous as they have been at any time
since the close of the war. The money in
terest of the United States has always been
exceedingly cautious at the prospect of q
change of administration, and the business of
the country has accordingly responded to the
feeling of this vital agent. The present favor
able aspect of business indicates satisfaction
with the policy of the administration, and
desire that it shall be continued. A change
is deprecated, foras Mr.. Stewart expresses it,
the financial and commercial interests of the
county would be unsafe in Mr.. Greeley's
hands,

Political Notes.

The New York correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal says, among the campaign docu-
ments is a Greeley fan. The face covers the
whole surface, with fringe representing
hair. 1t looks as if the Democrats had be-
headed Horace and stuck up his head, after
the manner of Traitors whose heads were
placed on spikes at Temple Bar. Some ladies
were sitting on piazza at one of our fash
ionable watering places, when gentle nan
came up with one of the Greeley fans. He
handed it to lady, the belle of the place.
As soon as she saw the head of the Cincin-
natl nominee, she flung the fan down with
little scream, saying: ''Take it away! Take it
away 1t reminds me of the head of John
the Baptist i'll a charger"
