A Gillam Man Strikes Oil.

A WONDERFULLY BICH OIL WELL IN GILLAM TOWNSHIP. Last Saturday evening, while the parties who bored the deep experimental wells in Gillam tp., a few months ago, were boring for water for Wm. Swisher, on his farm in Gillam tp., about 6 miles due west of Medaryville, they suddenly pierced a strong vein of petroleum, at a depth of 95 feet from the surface; the last 25 or 30 feet of which being in the rock. When first struck the oil spouted to a bight of 20 feet or more, and then settled down to to a steady flow of about 5 gallons a minute.. After it had been allowed to fill all the tubs and barrels about the place, it was plugged up, to prevent unnecessary waste. The oil is heavy black petroleum, and no doubt a good quality of lubricating oil. If this proves to be the case, and the well is permanent, Mr. Swisher evidently has a good fortune in the well.

Our informant as to the well, Mr. Wm. Querry, an entirely reliable man, passed the Swisher place on his his way to Rensselaer, Tuesday morning, and for his edification the plug was removed, and the well allowed to flow a few minutes. He timed the low himself, and found that it was at the rate stated above. There is no water at all in the oil. The only well as deep in the rock in the vicinity is on the Campbell farm, a quarter mile distant. This has no oil. The two 1000 foot wells above referred to, are.some two miles distant.

Work on the Tanner ditch has been going on in full blast for the last few weeks, and several of the contractors have their work done. If this ditch was carried on to the Kankakee river, it would be much better for the country around Wheatfield, but stoping where it does is a damage to several of our land owners.

Wm. Hanley has returned from the west and reports that the like was never seen for fine crops. He says he was at the Corning County, lowa Dem. ocratic convention and said convention passed resolutions of regret that Gov. Boise made such a speech in New York city.

A FORTUNE Inherited by few, is pure blood, free from hereditary taint. Catarrh, consumption, rheumatism, Scrofula* and many other maladies bom in the blood, can be effectually eraffi- 1 ’ cated only by the use of powerful alteratives. The standard specific for this purpose—the one best known and approved—is Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, the compound, concentrated extract of Honduras sarsaparilla, and other powerful alteratives, “I consider that I have been SAVED several hundred dollars’ expense, by using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and would strongly urge ail who are troubled with lameness or rheumatic pains to give it a trial. lam sum it will do them permanent good, as it has done me.”—Mrs. Joseph Wood, West Plattsburgh, N. Y. Dr. J. W. Shields, of Smithville, preun.’ says: “I regard Ayer’s Sarsaparilla asflm best blood medicine on earth, and known* many wonderful cores effected by its use." “ For many years I was laid up with Scaaffula, no treatment being of any benefit. At length I was recommended to give Ayertl Sarsaparilla a trial. I did so, and By Talcing about a dozen bottles, was restored to perfect health—weighing 230 pounds—and an nbw a believer in the merits of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.”—James Petsy, Mine Boss, Bredteenridge Coal Co.
