downward and in consequence of this
declination, lies further from the sur.
face the greater the distance away
from we'll defined producing areas. AT
the Kinzua region oil sand has been
struck at depths varying between
1900 and 2,100 feet and these facts
led to the consideration and adoption
of the purpose of renewed drilling.
1t is now very generally known
about town that the work begun
scarcely three weeks ago has brought
results sooner than was anticipated,
and the nature of the discoveries have
become a public secret. 1t is said
that the drill had not proceeded ten
feet from where it was stopped last
February before sand was struck, and
quality and quantity was surprisingly
good. At,frst coarse and pebbly the
texture changed to a fine pebbly
Bradford sand at the depth of fifteen
feet from the top, through the upper
layers of which rushed large guam
tity of gas. This current was so strong
as to render the sand pump useless,
the cable doing the work Of that i'm
plement by the aggregation of sand
particles blown against its wet surface.
Sbowings of oil were found, and the
drill continued through over fifty feet
of as good sand as can be found in the
Bradford field, before striking slate.
Progressing some way into the slate
and no further indications being
fonnd, the drill was removed to give
place to a torpedo, which was set of
on Thursday last. The most noticea.
BILE effect of the shot was to increase
the flow of gas, without materially
changing the quantity of oil. The
general success of the we'll, however
in wildcat territory, is such as to
induce the sinking of one or two more
in the same vicinity within few
weeks by the same operators. There
remains no doubt now Of the existence
Of oil southwest of Kane, and the delay
will not be long before that territory
is fairly opened.

The campaign this year opens in a
manner which promises to make it the
most unsavory of any ever known. It
will exceed in calumny and mud
throwing" the campaign Of 1876.
Hayes was a surprise to the democratic
editors, eand it was several weeks
before they could obtain the points of
his record on which 10 base abuse, but
the morning after the nomination of
Garfield the Democratic editorial bat.
teries, loaded with political "mud.
balls" we're blazing away at the nom
inee. Less than q week has passed
since the nomination, yet Garfield is
the best abused man in the country,
and the Republicans are waiting for
the news from Cincinnati to pay their
opponents back in the same coin.
There is one despicable feature Of
these campaign ISLANDERS, which dis.
graces American journalism. 1t is the
dishonesty of most of the criticisms.
Honest reproofs to a party should be
always in order, but exaggerated
abuse without just cause is contempti-
BILE. The slightest rumor against a
mans character is used for an edito-
rial text, without an attempt being
made to discover its origin, its truth or
its falsity. Once started it can never
down, but like the story of the three
black crows, is enlarged with each rep
etition. IF all the Democratic papers
have said against Garfield could be
proven or had the semblance of truth,
he should be disgraced from office,
tried, convicted and sentenced. Ifall
is true that is charged against Tilden,
why is he out of states prison 1t is
certainly time that journalism should
be more truthful, and not hint that our
laws are a failure by charging that
prominent citizens are escaped crifnin.
