Five Years ago- this summer, when the oil e eitement In the country was running high, some of the citizens of Memphis caught the- fever, andcommenced to bore for oil. Th? circumstance which gave most encou- rag men t to the enterprise was unmistaka bl developements of petroleum in several spr gs along the banks of Belle river, in the vicinity of the village, and the Tow of oil ?pears to be as good no W as then. A comipany was organized, land leased, m achi- nei and materials purchased, the job of sinking a well was let,, aurid the work 'cum- menced. Heavy seven inch driving pipe' was, used foi tubing, and this was driven in the earth by nearly the same process that piles are driven, 'using a saw -log for a dri- ver. The pipe was sent uown at the rate of about one eighth of an—inch ateach drop of the d'river,, until as depth of sixty feet was reached when the lower section wits broken • caused it was believed, by the pipe striking the boulder or bed rock. The drill ,could not be forced further, on .Account- of the crushed. pipe obstructing its past sage, ,con- sequently the company were forcgcl to give up the enter prise or Start a 1 o,.y well. At this juncture the faith and courage of the company gave .out, and the thing was al- lowed to rest from that time to the present, but they got something more than a dry hole—allowing Whll of pin e cold water, very pleasant to the taste, with quite a strongmineral flavor The water rises in the pipe about six feet above the surface of the ground, and the flow continues to be 'quite uniform in quantity, excerpt that at intervals of a feiv seconds the quantity in- creases, perhaps 25 per vent., and then it gradually decrease until its minimum is reached. Gas comes L- ubbllug to the surface continually in small quantities, and the wa- ter is so cold that it is painful to hold one's band in the pipe more than thirty seconds. The water and pipe are strongly macin0- tic, and will charge knife Wades so that they will lick up needles, flails, trunk keys, tic. very quickly. ' The magnetic influence in the- pipe is so strong that an eight -penny nail may be placed vertically upon the. end of the pipe in the current . of waiter, and then two note nails upon this, enol upon end, and they will stsnd there tinsuppL,i ted. There is no doubt that this spring is as highly magnetic as any yet found. Its chemical properties are not yet known as no analysis of the water has been made, nor has it been tested as a curative agent. The spring is on the banks of a brook near its junction with Belle river, in the out- skirts of the village, uald'abouc forty feet be- low the level of the country.—Dstroit Post. BLESSED BE NOTHING.—D tt r ills the last twenty yesrs William B. Astor has so man- aged a fortune of twenty millions as to roll it into sixty `millions. Suppose he has, what then ? . V hat has he made by the ope- ration, except increased worriment to keep the run of. his increased wealth? Astor, with his sixty millions, eats no Tnoro oysters, quail, woodcock, and be! 'ct turkey, than he did when he was worth ten millions. He dresses no better, and -has a thousand times less fun. We beat him on sleeps, and have no lawsuits with tennants and trespassers. Robbers lay wait for Astor every time he goes out after dark They don't think of us. Astor, with sixty millions of dollars, has sixty millions -of troubles., To keep the run of his rents, bonds, and estates, keeps Astor at work about fourteen hours a day, and yet Astor only gets three square meals a day, which is just --what. v;e obtain with- out any millions, any° tenants,any real estate and only work eight hours per day. If men's happiness increased with their earnings up to a certain point, the point necessary to secure the ct_inforts of life would be, say $2,500 a year. ..l1 beyond this is super- fluous ; it is productive of no good whatever. The richer the matt the greater the proba- Lility that his on will live on billiards and die in the. inebriate asylum.- 'With contentment and 2,500 a year, a man may be happy as a prince. Without content- ment you will be miserable, even if your. rent; equals the rent -rolls .of Oresu$. How TO GET FAT—DR. LEWIS' ADVICE TO A LEAN LADY.—Instead of going co bed di 11 or 14, , if you are really in earnest about getting a plump, youthful personnel, a -sin- gle hoar in any company will gratify you and your friends more than a dozen nights with this fagged and old look. So to bed at 8 or 81 o'cloctc, and don't be in a.' hurry about getting up in the morning. On go- ing to bed aand on getting up in the morn- ing, drink tts much cold water as you can swallow. Soon yon will learn to drink as mneh as two tumblers; and some persons may learn to drink still more. Drink all that your stomach will . bear. Spend a good deal of time in the open air, : without liay-d exercise, but ekposecl to the sun and fresh air. If piactible,. ride in a- carriage some hours every day. Remain out enough to give you a good appetite, but don't work hard enough to produce excessive perspira- tion. Eat a great deal of oat meal porridge cracked, wheat, graham mush, baked sweet apples, 1roastes1 and broiled beef, though the vegetable part is more fattening than the animal part. _,Lie down an hour in the mid- dle of the day, just before you take your dinner, to rest, and, if possible, take a little nap. Cultivate jolly people. " Laugh and grow fat, "rests upon a sound physiological basis. A pleasant .blow - of the social spirit is a great promoter of digestion. Keep your skin clean, sleep in a room where the sun shines, keepeyeryching sweet, and clean and fresh about your bed,,sleep nine, if pos- sible ten flours in the twenty -foul, eat as I have told you, cultivate the jolly spirit, and .n -ai c months you will be as plump as even- your lover could wish you to be.

On the 2nd of August the French troops crossed the frontier, and daotured the Prus- sian outpost of Sarrbruck. There was also an indecisive skirmish apt Forbaclt on the 6th. Aseries of battles at Weissenburg, lasting from Thursday, August 4th, to Sunday the 7th, resulted in the defeat of the French by the Crown Prince, and the retreat of Mc- Malion's whole line. On the 13th the French army evacuated Nancy,, on the approach of the Crown Prince, burning the 1 -:ridge on the Moselle at that point; and retiring to the fortress of Tout.! 13azaine, at the same time, withdrew across the Mozeile, the Frussians close upon him and harassing his rear guard while in the act of crossing. . On the 14th the 'series of battles around Metz. commenced between the .French, und- er Bazaine and the united armies of Gen. Steinmetz and Prince Frederick Charles. Bazaine with his back to the walls of :Metz kept the Prussians at bay through the four days fighting on the road forom Metz to Verdun, which ended in the battleofGravel lotte and the bottling up of Bazaine's army within Metz. In the meantime the Crown Prince, by a detour of the south, made his way unop- posed by Bar le Deuc, St. Dizier, threaten- ing Paris, and advancing a cavalry force even as near Paris as Montmirail. McMahon with his army re -enforced an reorganized at Chalons, burned his camp - moved northward to Rheim°, and thence i a dotciur toward Metz, too the succour o Bazaine. 'The Crown Prince abandoning his de mor strations upon Paris, moved due north, and intercepted McMahon on the road from Rethel to Stenay. Then followed the man- ceuvres and fighting on the railway from Montmedv, Carignan, and Sedan, which. ended in the surrender of McMahon's bray to King William at the last named place, on Thursday, Sep. 2 �l man behind- the times should be fed exclusively on ketch -up, The Canada Presbyterian Church, St. Mary's, is to bee en larged.
