We have been shown a specimen of sand-rock from the Lady Corintha well, J. S. McCray farm, which is as fine a specimen of rock as we have ever seen. It will be remembered that this was one of the first wells started on the McCray farm, and when nearly completed the tools were lost, and up to this time have not been taken out although worked at considerably. It is expected the well will be completed and ready to test on Tuesday next. We look for another big well. P. S.--The tools were taken out yesterday.
