DISCOVERY OF A WELLS,

IN fayor Of Canadian Independence. This
is but q small portion Of the whole press
of the Dominion, but it embraces a
number of widely circulated and infiuen-
tial journals that have very large
edueative influence in the country. Also,
worthy Of note, is the fact that at the
res ent National Congre % of French Ca
nadia, ., he d Ia N, ntreal, In celebrate n
Judges Of the Superior Court OF Quebec,
the Hon. Messrs. Sicotte and Loianger,
and the Hon. Mr.. Boyde, man OF some
public note, expressed their decided con-
yiction that in the near future Canada
will be- called upon to form an independ.
ent nation. Sir Francis Hicks, in paper
ON the future Of Canada, declares that
there is not the slightest ground fer
believing that the conBsotion with Great
Britain is in the slightest danger OF being
dissolved."
Discovery Of Gas Wells.
ToLoNo, Sept. i3.-The interest in
gas wells has received an awakening in
this locality by the success Of a new well
just made on the farm Of Menzo Dunlap,
near savoy. Enoch Robins of this place
was boring the we IL to secure perma-
nent supply of water when, at the depth
of ninety-ihree feet, he penetrated q
vein of gas OF such force aud volume
that stones two and three inches in
diameter were thrown 200 feet in the air,
and water and sand went up forty feet,
making terrific noise. Mr.. Robinson
connected the gas with his six-horse-
power engine, aud secured as much
power us he could get for ifty
pounds OF steam, while the steam gauge
indicated only twenty pounds OF gas
the gas was then connected with the
furnace, and. when ignited, a small part
Of it created sufficient flame to keep up
steam, and-it was used to run the engine
attached to the well-boring apparatus
Friday and Saturday. It is estimated
that the present volume of gas escaping
from the we'll would be sufficient to
make steam for 200 horse-pcwe en-
gine.

whelming majority. The World, on the
other hans, says that with the aid Of
Tainmany the ticket will go through;
but much work will be required. A
dispatch from Albany ates that Cievs-

harsh words spoken by Tsmmany affect
him keenly.
