prominent citizens One of the best wells in point of quality ever put down in this county I drilled on Cro cus creek in 1SG15 This oil is equal to any of the found in Clarion county Pennsylvania For

Great can well A few moments compariso between the fossils and rocks observed on creeks in Cumberland county as well as those of the beat lands in Pennsylvania will serve to convince the most casual observer as to their identity Throughout this county we find a fatty bituminous shale that is so completely saturated with bitumen that after being slightly warmed it Ml burn giving out a clear strong This shale is found in all the hills about and in the of nearly all our creeks It shows in undulations of waves the gen eral greatest dip of waves being to ward Cumberland river In many places faults or breaks in the strata are to be found at the synclinal and aies of the waves At times within less than 100 yards distance a variation of dip as great as 25 degress will In places the dip will be 10 degrees north and on the opposite side of the creek it may be 15 degrees or 20 degrees south Owen in his Geological volume 3 pages to 154 inclusive lo cates the line of disturbance as indicated by this irregularity of dip and upon that line our best oil wells have been found He also assigns the limestone in which our oil is found to the Silurian age As many of our readers may be inter ested in

appropriations without violating the we take for granted that it has upon this whose wishes it is worth consider object tothe postponement of the meeting of Congress for four months When we say that it is not worth regard the interests of persons who are eager for the special session to begin we do not mean to be unfriendly to the keep ers of inns boarding houses restaurants drinking and other shops and the drivers of hackney coaches in the city of Wash ington It is not reasonable however for these industrious classes to profit by the Josses of much larger classes money that could be made by an untimely revival of the activities of the capital would be a trifling sum compared with the cost direct and indirect of a summer session to the taxpayers and busi ness men of the whole country
