LANCASTER, JANUARY ., 1855
Our Trnae Depression.

In these days finance seems to be the
most engaging subject for the statesman.
They all love to tackle il and feel sure that
they would fix Il all right if they had their
way about il. Mr.. Bayard is said to have
expressed preference foT the treasury
portfolio over the Secretaryshlr OF state,
which up TO the present date has iirmly
maintained its place of preference rs the
headship Of the cabinet. Foreign affairs
used To be the most important in the eyes
Of our statesmen. II was feeling that
sprang up in the days of our youth ANA
weakness, when we did not feel ourselves
to be altogether the greatest nation
IN creation. We have reached diff
erent era now. our internal concerns
have come To he more interesting TO
us than our external, and our politicians
propose to initiate the example of their
English brethren and make the eNchequer
the chief cabinet place. At least this
is the impression of Mr.. Rayard's S
position, and we Judge that he is in
sympathy with growing sentiment; since
we know Of other public men who
seemingly would prefer TO get into the
treasury if they should get into the cabinet.
Mr.. Randall is one of them. He is now
engaged in discussing finance and business
in the South and is wrestling severely
with the balance of trade question
which has umholsed 80 many political
economists. The trouble with the doctrine
is that it does not seem to look the same
way every time. Prior % our 1857 panic,
FOR instance, we had the balance of trade
running heavily against us; and a panic
was due according to the doctrine laid
down for the times. When il came we
got no sympathy because ii was no more
than we deserved and had reason.to expect.
But now we have business depression
which is ms severe = test upon our buoyancy

the Girard estate trust fund, i'll Phlladel-

done in shiftless and slip-shod manner in
the execution of municipal trusts. Few
estates have ever been held So well togeth-

and so perfectly carried out to the satisfac-
ton of the public and in accordance with
the wishes of the testator.
When Girard died, leaving three OF four
million dollars. to I've sure he was rich
man, but his fortune would not have been,
in these days, of very unusual magnitude.
But those millions by careful husbandry,
have been swelled to nearly eleven millions,
the value of the estate to-day. The college
property alone is worth three millions and
its munifcent purpose is being realized in

officers were well supplied with money.
and tradition has it that in l776. when
the English soldiers were passing
through Comstock, Washington county,
some of the leaders became alarmed
over the prospect of a surprise by the
enemy, so they filled large brass can
non with gold, plugged 1t up, and shot
it into the creek. forty rods south Of
Comstock, and from that time to the
present there have been many different
parties at Comstock in search of this

An Expensive Geology Lesson.

A queer specimen of the wildcat work
done by operators has just came to an
end near this village, writes Parkers-
burg. w. Va, correspondent to the
New York Sun. A couple of enthusi-
astic prospectors came here during the
past winter, and. after looking over
indications were good. They didn't
say much to the people, br: quietly
leased as mucs land as thyy could, in
most instances getting it for one-eighth
royalty on all minerals, oil. salt, or
other valuable substances or materials
which they should find by drilling. A
rig was put up, and the creak of the
bull wheel was heard in the land. to
the delight of everyone. The operators
expected they would have TO drill pret-
ty deep, and SO felt no disappointment
rs the drill sank through stratum after
stratum without piercing any white
pebbles. About week ago man
dressed in store clothes and wearing q
pair of gold-rimmcd eyeglasses over Il
cOuntenance which showed he knew
something drove along the road near
which the rig was located, and. having
heard of the wildcat, hitcncd his team
and walked over to talk to the boys.
The drillers had not been encouraged
enough to board up the rig and make a
mystery OF it, and so when no asked
them how they were getting along one
Of them brought out an argand burner
lamp chimney. In this tube, arranged
in the order in which they had been
reached. were layers of the sand
brought up by the sand-pump from the
strata of rock through which the drill
had passed. The gentleman looked at
the various strata of rock indicated by
the sand in the tube for about three
seconds, and then sad

The boys wouldn't believe it then,
but it was true. They began by bor-
ing through granite. The men
who put up the money will find a
little argand lamp chimney as valuable
and much more expensive lesson in
geology than ever was obtained among
the old red stones We read about. They
are about 81, 600 out OF pockets.
