We learn from Sunbury, that a farmer near that place, on the Susquehanna, has lately made two barrels of sweet oil (equal to the present olive oil) out of hickory nuts, by simple expression. One half of the smallest species of these nuts, viz. the shell bark, yielded by an experiment, 30 drops of oil. The oil obtained from these delicious nuts has been used in diet, and from the want of oil of an inferior quality, has been burnt in lamps. Every day's experience serves to convince us of the resources of our country for wealth and happiness.
