of pure oil, worth 25 cents per gallon. Rathbone's well still continued to pour out the same quantity of oil up to last night, but that they had to stop pumping for want of cisterns and barrels; and that Mr. Karns told him that I had the best and surest prospect for oil next to Rathbone's, on the river. They have made another discovery in a hill or rather mountain on Hugh's River, a tributary of the Kanawha, and distant from here some twelve miles. It is the discovery of oil coal. Mr. Mattingly, who owns it, told me himself (for we traveled together through this county a day, prospecting,) that the vein is 1,000 feet in thickness by actual measurement. How wonderful are all these things, and yet how astonishing that they have not been discovered before; but you must remember that this is comparatively a new country, and that the early settlers were neither literary nor scientific men. Put this coal on a shovel and hold it over the fire until it becomes hot, and it all melts an

This well has been in operation, without any decrease in quantity, for over three months. Mr. Rathbone, after he saw the success of Mr. Karns' well, sank one himself below Karns', on the river, and I was there the evening he commenced pumping first. He commenced at 6 o'clock P.

Oil in Western Virginia. --Astonishing Discoveries.--The Clark county (Va.) Journal contains a letter from Wirt Court-House, which gives an account of the traordinary discoveries of oil now being made in Western Virginia. He gives some instances as follows: Mr. Karns leased a piece of ground (two acres,) from Mr. Rathbone, only six miles above mine, for twenty years, and at the depth of 150 feet reached a vein of oil which yields 15 barrels, of 40 gallons each, per day, worth, at theWestern Virginia.

This well has been in operation, without any decrease in quantity, for over three months. Mr. Rathbone, after he saw the success of Mr. Karns' well, sank one himself below Karns', on the river, and I was there the evening he commenced pumping first. He commenced at 6 o'clock P. M., and pumped until 6 o'clock A. M., just twelve hours, and filled a cistern containing 130 barrels of 40 gallon

Hot Springs of Arkansas. --A correspondent of the Charleston (S. C.) Mercury thus describes the Hot Springs of Arkansas: The Springs are situated in a narrow valley, about three miles in length, winding among the hills. There are two very pleasant hotels, with numerous cottages on each side of the valley. The springs are on the eastern slope of the hills, at the foot of which runs a small stream or rocky branch. There are over a dozen streams of different degrees of heat; the two largest are hot enough to boil eggs or scald a hog. The character of the rocks on the side of the mountains are evidently volcanic, and large dark broken masses have every appearance of laVa. The water is conducted from the springs to reservoirs on the tops of the bathhouses, so arranged that you may have the douse, shower, plunge or vapor bath, just as you please. The water is quite soft, and as clear and transparent as crystal. When you first bathe in it, it seems impossible to bear the heat

Extraordinary Waling feat. --At Utica, N. Y., last week, the extraordinary feat of walking 100 consecutive hours was successfully and satisfactorily accomplished by a young man named Miller. As the time drew to a close, the interest manifested by the public sensibly increased, and reached its climax on Saturday evening, during the most of which the hall was crowded, and the latter portion of the time almost to suffocation. He showed less signs of fatigue and break ing down on Saturday thll, the stillness being often broken with clapping of hands.--Not being content with walking the full time, he kept on his feet some minutes after the time had elapsed, and cries from the audience of "time !" "time !" Finally, bowing himself off, Miller left the stage, jumping to the floor with the alacrity of a fresh man, and was escorted to his room by his friends, amid the clapping of hands, and three cheers from the enthusiastic crowd. After having been vigorously rubbed for about half an h
