STRUCK OL.-When oil was frs,
struck, Oh the 10Th of August, 1859
few people imagined the vast wealth il
was to bring to the country, and the mil
lionaires it was to make. One of the
notablest of these, James Tarr, died a
few days ago at Meadville, Pennsylvania.
The history of the "Tarr Farm as oil
producing, dates from June, 1861. Il
embraces 1873 acres. In August, 1861.
Mr. Talr sold half of it for $1,000 to
Clark & Sumner, of New York. They
sold one third of their interest to some
Rochester people for S35, 900; but the
rapid decline in the price of oil made
them regret their purchase, and they re-
sold to c. 4 s for the price they gave.
New wells were continually developed.
and Mr.. Tarr accumulated a great for
tune. In the fall of 1865. when gold
was worth $3.50, he was offered $500. 600
gold for the fee simple of the farm
equivalent to $4,000 600. He refused it.
Oil is still success as steady business
in the oil region. We know one gentle
man whose income from that source is
about 81 900 per day.

I am prepared to believe what is asserted by
their friends that this execution wa not in con-
formity to the wishes of a large majority of the
volunteers, but that they deeply sor-owed at
what they deemed Il sort of necessity, or had not
the courage to prevent, that there are among
them a few turbulent spirits whose violence
rules the rest, and whose cry for blood siences
tho voices of the more compassionate. Again, it
had come 20 their ears that the civil governor, in
whose hands was the supreme control in the alb
sence OF the captain-general, had agreed to par
don the youths in consideration of two millions
of dollars, to be paid by their parents, who are
among the most wealthy upon the island, and
that in order to balk him in this speculation,
more than from real desire for the blood of the
victims, they threatened to tear him in pieces il
he attempted to carry out his part of the con-
tract. and thus entitle himself to the blood III ouey
There is strong reason to believe that such an
arrangement had been concluded, and would
have been carried out by the venal governor, but
