Tho Butler Herald makes the following
interesting statement regarding the oil pros.
poets in that county, which contains en-
couragement for believers in the existence
OF petroleum in Beaver county. 1t says:
We have heard that the operators for oil on
the Vim. c. Campbell farm, west branch o.
Bear Creek, Fairvlew township. struck quite
vein of oil in the second sand rock. Our
informant states, when he visited the wei,
there had collected about ninety feet Of oil
in it. The conseq uence OF this strike was
inteuse excitement among oil men. as the
opinion hitherto prevailed that the west
branch of Bear Creek was not on the oil
belt. We presume the operators will not
desist until the third sand is reached, so a.
to etfectually test tire territory. This should
by all means be done, tor should the terri
tory prove good for oil there is no man who
can Calculate the immense wealth of Butler
county 10 this particular. Another fact is
to be taken into calculation, and that is
the belt would stretch to Boyds,own, Butler
down the CoEnoquenossing creek and on to
Beaver. thus traversing the whole county
from 1t north. east to its northwest corner
Besides this, should oil he obtained ct the
Reibsr place. on the Kittanning road, it
may be o question of vast importance wheth.
er the oil belt may not be some four or FIVE
miles wide In this section, and if so, prove
an inexhaus,ibls mine of wealth. Tine,
these things are as yet matters of specula>
tion, but they border so closely on realities
that we are forced to give them publicity
even though We incur the opposition OF the
doubling and unbelieving. Human pro.
gress develops itself by steps Of regular
gradation and it is seldom we find such de-
velopment inconsistent with uature's own
workings. We shall see by and by.

ANEcDoTE OF WIaFALL-A Texas cores
pondent sends the following, saying that it has
not appeared in print. Mr.. Louis T; Wigfall,
one of the leading secessionists of Texas and
the South, felt, after Lees surrender, somewhat
embarrassed as to his corporal safety in land
then in possession of his enemies: He left
Richmond in disguise, and travelled on mule
back alone, for Texas. Dick Taylor had also
surrendered, and all the ferries and crossings
were in the hands of the Federal forces. Wig
fall could pursue no other course but to risk
himself to be put across the Mississippi by a
detachment of Union soldiers. He was well
disguised. Observing that no allusion was
made to himself and wishing to know, if pos
sible, which way the wind blew, he began
general TRADE against the leading Coniederates,
winding up by inquiring what would be done
with that scamp Wigfall if they should catch
him. The soldiers replied, they supposed they
would hang him. "Yes, they would 90 exactly
right and would pull at one end Of The rope P

TAKING CoLD-If cold settles on the out
er covering of the lungs it becomes pneumonia,
inflammation of the lungs, or lung fever, which
in many cases carries the strongest man to his
grave within week. If cold falls upon the
inner covering of the lungs it is pleurisy, with
its knife-like palms, and its slow, very slow re-
coveries. If cold settles in the joints there
is rheumatism in its various forms infamma-
tory rheumatism, with its agonies of pain, and
rheumatism of the heart, which in an instant
sometimes snaps the cords of life with no
friendly warning. 1t is of the utmost practi-
cal Importance, then, in this wintry weather to
know not so much how to cure a cold as how
to avoid it. Colds always come from one cause,
some part or the whole of the body being col
der than natural for time. If man will
keep his feet warm always and never allow
himself to be chilled, he will never take cold
in lifetime, and this can only be accomplished
by due care in warm clothing, and the avoid
ance of draughts and undue exposure. While
multitudes of colds come from cold feet, per-
haps the majority arise from persons cooling
off too quickly after becoming little warmer
than is natural from exercise, or work, or from
confinement to warm apartment Woods

BEAUTIFUL IRELAND.-We know, of course,
that Ireland is called the Emerald Isle" and
the color of the emerald is green, but never had
it entered into our Imagination that there was,
anywhere in this world, to be seen such verdure
as it charmed our eyes to look upon the rural
districts of Ireland. The slopes, the knolls,
the dells, fields of young grain, over which the
breezes creep like playful spirits of the beauti-
full: the pastures, dotted with white sheep of
the purest wool the hill sides, rising up into
mist-shrouded mountains, are all covered with
thick carpets of smooth, velvet green. But
Ireland should also be called Flowery Isle
There is not spot in Ireland, believe, where
blessed nature can find an excuse for putting a
flower, but she has put one-not only in the
gardens and in the meadows but upon the very
walls and the crags of the sea, from the great
blooming rhododendrons, down to the smallest
flower that modestly peeps forth from its grassy
cover. The Irish furze, so richly yellow, COW
ers all places that might otherwise be bare or
barren, the silkwosm delights everywhere, from
thousands of trees, to drop its "web of gold;"'
the blooming hawthorn, with the sweet-scented
pink, and especially the white. variety, adorns
the landscape and the gardens; wall flowers,
of every hue and variety, Chamber to hide the
harshness of the moral supports; the beeted
cliffs of the North Sea are fringed and softened
with lovely flowers; and if you kneel anywhere
almost on the yielding, velvet carpet, you will
find little, well-nigh invisible howerets-redss
white, blue and yelow-wrought into the very
woof and texture. Ireland ought to be called
the Beautiful Isle. The spirit of the beautiful
hovers over and touches. to living loveliness,
every point.-FaU Mall Gazette.
