competence did the rest. The lesson of the

was spIendidly furnished, iuterioriIy; but If

We hnd the following account Of the
death Of Canada Oh. Prince in the Both
we'll Review. We believe Mir. Lick former.
ly resided on Oil Crack:
Our town was somewhat startled ysster,
day morning BY the report that John L
Lick, the pioneer Of the Boutwell, oil bust.
uess was dead. He had beso attacted few
days ago by bemorrhags at the lungs the
result Of 90 old affection, but 10 WAS little
thought that death was go near. Mr.. L ick
came 10 Boutwell, from Psunsy ylvania 10 1851
and leased 20 acres of the Colvills fer On, ex
tending back from the river where the
bridge now stands. He eank several sur<
face wells on this lot and bought from Hys/
lop aud Ronald. Of Chatham, the first steam
engine that was brought nto the district.
he met with poor success aud getting into

what 's known ss the Old Company WE'LL
From this time forward his success was won
derful, and the fame Of the celebrated Lick
well went forth to all parts Of Canada and
the United States. He was reputed 10 be
worth an immense SUN, and at one time we
know be he'd deposited in Mr.. Langbtou',
safe cash and certificates Of stock, to the
value Of over 100000. But be was an 10.
veterate speculator, and though looked up,
on Is an oracle In oil matters, is said te
have lacked judgment. His fortune AVA,
vested in specnlatlons almost as rapidly as
II had been accumulated, and there is bu
little doubt that his misfortunes acce lera ted
bis death. Almost the last time We saw
him alive was on Wednesday of last weel
when the food was at its height; we walk
ed down to the bridge and back lu company
with him and number Of Others. Onl
route lay through the scenes Of his etrug,
giles aud bis triumphs, and as he pointed
out the sizes oftbs various wells and smoke
OF these varied fortunes with that apparent
indiferenee that always characterized him,
we wondered what his thoughts mus, have

coward, and it matters little on which horn
he impales himself. All heroic natures des'
pise meanness, and there is no greater mean

to bury all the hates and animosit'es
growing out of the late war, at once and

would dig them up. or attempt to revive
them on any occasion, and more especially

THE Pittsburgh Commercial in speaking
of the convention of Governors at Atlanta,
to settle the water transportation question,
says it seems to have been thinly attended.
Only three Governors were present when
it organized, although some fifteen were
there when it adjourned. The absence OF
SO many during the deliberations of the
convention may probably be explained by
remark made by the Governor of North
Carolina to the Governor Of South Carolina,
that it was long time between drinks.

AT the recent st. Louis convention, ooV-
ernor Woodson, of Missouri, read extracts
from the census, showing the productions
of that state, out of the tenth part OF the
land, that being the proportion under cuitl-
walton; and showed what immense crops
could be raised when all the land should
be under fence. There would then be
no 900 900 bushels Of corn, 50,Ooo,ooo OIL
wheat, 800 100000 tons of hay, etc., etc.
And all the aggregate value of only s492,-
G79 900. He threw off the odd units, not
to be too particular, nor to disparage the
general statement. The coal fields, he rep
resented, to cover twenty-one thousand
square miles, having beds of coal
measuring altogether twenty and thirty feet
in -''enough alone to supply our
national domain for hundreds Of years."
The great want of the west, in his view,
was cheap transportation, and the way te
get it is ''to bring to the aid of the railroads
the great water channel of intercommunl
cation between the Mississippi river, tn
great lakes in the north, and the Atlantl
sea-board.u He said that they were "th
first Congress that had assembled Yves
of the Mississippi;" and indicated yer.
plainly what the West ought to do.

AMONG the many evidences OF revival
of the spirit of archaeological research in
England-and the civilized world is
sharing il with England-is Sir John Lub-
books bill in Parliament for the preserva-
ton of Eugland's ancient monuments.
The bill, it is said, is likely to become a
law and it is well that it should. The
spirit of antiquarian research is the spirit
of progress, paradoxical as the statement
may seem. knowledge, be it of the past
or the present, gives us the power to step
onward to the true demands and exgences
of the future.

WITH reference to louisiana matters,
we desire to say, once for all, that SINCE
the President has formally warned the
opponents of the Kellogg government TO
cease from resistance, there can be no FUR
Their excuse for refusing to submit to the
existing government, notwithstanding the
disgraceful manner in which it obtained
the control. The responsibility is with
Congress, which with all the facts before It
refused to take action that would have
given the state into the hands OF those VINO
were elected by the people, or that woulo
have remanded to them the question py
whom they would be governed. lhe
President has merely done as he warned
Congress he would have to do, and perhaps
he has adopted the only course that wal
possible under the circumstances. Abu
that he should have been driven to this ac
ton by the conduct of Congress IN shlrk
ing its duty, is greatly to be lamented.
