CHher localities as Pithole, a dozen miles up the Allegheny attract at present much more attention. Should the theory concerning Petro leum be correct—that in the cooling of our earth’s creßt to its present consist ency, it was produced by some chemi cal action, and left in reservoirs far beneath the surface—then do these pools of oil beneath this valley seem to be nearly exhausted and the business in this locality coming to a close. Should however another theory be true—that the oil is still in process of formation, in such a case these now almost exhausted reservoirs may in process of time be re filled and the business resume its first activity, "With respect to outlay and income, so far as can be understood and reckon ed from externals, my own judgment is that the actual income from all the oil yet sold has not met, nor is soon likely to, the enormous expenditures in a thousand different ways.

Fair field, D.D., of Hillsdale, the poet was Rev. Arthur T. Pierson, A.M., pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Waterford, N. Y., who recited a very charming poem upon the novel subject, “ Units and Cyphers.” It was a pleasing yet cutting satire upon those who have money and nothing else, those who have clothes and no money or talent, those who rely upon friends and not themselves, those who expect great things but never work for any thing, those who have been favored by nature and fortuitous circumstances, yet have been drones in the human hive. Women who live to dress and spend money, or fix themselves up for attractive sho >v, were pleasantly set down as cyphers on the left hand of No 1.

Middleditch, New Jersey ; Rev. Lucien M. Hayden, New London, N. H. That of LL.D. upon Rev. JVM. Gre gory, Kalamazoo. Bowdoin College welcomed back its returned warriors August 2. Gen. Grant was present. Major-Gen. 0. 0. Howard, a student, though not a graduate, having left at the end-of his second year for West Point, was also present. Major-General •Chamberlin left a Professor’s chair in the college to enter the army as Lieutenant- Colonel in. 1862. On Wednesday he was elected by th&Jioards to the Professorship of Rhetoric and Oratory and Comparative Philology. Then there is a long array of Brigadier- Generals whose names are now dear to Alma Mater. Amongst he number are Francis Fessenden, James D. Fessenden, and Henry G. Thomas. The first named, the second son of Hon. William Pitt Fes senden, late Secretary of the Treasury, was severely wounded at Shiloh, and lost a limb while in command of a brigade in the Red River campaign. The youngest son the honored Senator, Lieutenant Samuel' Fessenden, was mortally wounded at the second battle of Bull Run. As he was being borne from the field, he asked the surgeon if he thought the wound was mortal. The surgeon was compelled to tell him that he feared it was. Remaining silent a moment, he looked up and said only, “ It is all right.” “ Among the brevet Brigadier-Generals are Sewall, Hubbard, Cilley, Granger, and Hyde. The record of each is honorable, yet that of none more so than Thomas W. Hyde’s. He also is a very young man, but he has lived long enough and well enough !•' win for himself a name eminent among th. i.-iany who have fought through the various Campaigns of the Army of the Potomac. Of Colonels there are Appleton, Star bird, Poore, Virgin, Talbot, Roberts, Mc- Arthur, Howard (brother of the Major- General,) and Mattocks. Of all ,these only good reports have been received. Many of these officers originally went out as privates, and their commissions were won by hard fighting, brave actions, and strict attention to duty. And some of the very first young men who have graduated at the college — first in talent, in patriotism, and in all good qualities—have quietly served their coun try in the field as privates, throughout their connection with the army. Not all could be officers. And as General Howard said, “ It is honorable even to have carried a musket in such a war as this, and years hence these men will be honored as our revolutionary fathers have been honored.” Dartmouth.- —Address before the Theo logical Society, Tuesday, July’lS, by Kev.

Adams, D.D., of Philadel phia, gave an elequent and instructive ad dress before the Theological Society on the subject ‘ Man and his Relations.’ Space would forbid giving even a synopsis of this discourse, so full of excellent thoughts. We were glad to hear from his lips the credit given to ‘ Old Dartmouth,’ which we believe is her due, of having been ‘hitherto among the formost to apprehend and dis seminate great truths.’” At a meeting'of the alumni, among whom is Chief-Justice Chase, a resolution was presented and pass ed unanimously to raise §50,000 for the erection of a building, which, besides other uses, shall contain an alumni hall, in which are to be placed tablets and slabs in commemoration of the names of the sons of Dartmouth who have fallen in our late struggle for the Union.

The “memorial monument” for the heroes of the war is to take the form of a cella, or subordinate chapel to the new chapel of the University, when that shall be built, “ to be for ever consecrated to the menory of those who have given their lives for their country, where shall be set up at once votive tablets to their honor, and where offerings of praise and gratitude, in storied windows, emblematic bas-reliefs, or groups of statuary, busts, and the like, may be accumulated, from time to time, under proper oversight and control.” It is under the charge of a committee of twenty-five, of which Prof. E. E. Salisbury is chair man. SOLDIERS’ MONUMENT AT FORTRESS MONROE, YA. Nearly four thousand soldiers have been buried around Fortress Monroe, since the opening of the War. Some died at Regimen tal Hospitals and at the Old Hygeia Hospital, in 1861-2; some were brought here for burial, from Government Transports; others died at the Mill Creek Gen’l Hospitals now in existence as Divisions of the U. S. Gen’l Hospital at this place. The Cemeteries in which their remains now rest, may soon be ploughed and the graves leveled; hence measures should at once be taken to preserve from such desecra tion, the last resting place of so many true and noble patriots. Christian loyalty and civilization demand it.. *» It is therefore proposed, with the sanction of the proper authorities of the Government, to gather all the bodies of our dead heroes, now lying in old neglected Cemeteries and obscure places, into Hampton Hospital Cem etery, already containing about twenty five hundred graves, of both white and colored soldiers, who have died for their Country:— and then and there, to erect a Monument that will worthily and permanently commem orate the service of these noble men, whose lives were not wastes, but free-will offerings upon the altar of home and humanity. To this end, a Monument board was formed July 14th, 1865, with Dr. Eli McClellan, A. S., U. S. A., as President; Chaplain Roe of the Hampton Division, as Treasurer; and Chaplain Marshall of ‘'the Officers’ or Chesapeake Division as Secretary. Soldiers’ hardships and trials make them liberal to relieve the distressed or to honor the dead; hence the patients and attendants have already contributed, over seven hundred dol lars, ($7OO 00.1 for a suitable Monument at this place. Although there are countless ap peals to the public for similar purposes in other parts eqaally worthy, yet we also make our appeal for .more funds,, that we may obtain a Monument,of granite or free-stone, that will not crumble in this climate, worth form five to ten thousand dollars. Send your twenty five cent note, or fifty cent note, or one dollar, or five dollar, or ten dollar note, to either the Treasurer or Secre tary of the board at Fort Monroe, who will duly acknowledge the receipt thereof; and when the Monument shall be raised, a pam phlet will be published containing the lists of the donors and a full history of the erection of a “ Soldiers’ Monument at Fortress Mon roe.” James Marshall, Chaplain, U. S. A., and Sec’y of M’nt Board. [Exchanges please copy.] U. S. SOLDIERS’ AND SAILORS’ HOME OF PENNSYLVANIA. The Board of Managers of the United States. Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Home of Penn sylvania would hereby present to the public the aim and distinctive character of this Association. Our aim is to found a Home for our dis abled soldifers and sailors, upon a plan liberal and novel. The name we have chosen indi cates that, although an institution for the State of Pennsylvania, the Home will, be open to receive and shelter maimed soldiers of other loyal States of the Union. We de sign to locate it as near to Philadelphia as . may consist with our means to buy a tract of land of suitable extent for easy tillage by the inmates, and for the erection of shops and machinery for light mechanical and manufac turing labor, with cottages for the occupancy of inmates and their dependent families. As nearly as possible, the Home shall be self supporting. A school for the instruction of the younger men will be provided, as also means for educating and training to industry the children within the guardianship of the Institution. We are sure the last-named part of our plan, to wit, the reception of sol diers with their families to the fostering care of the Home, will meet the hearty ap proval of the patriotic and grateful public, as the bare suggestion of it gladdens the hearts of anxious, brave men, whose maimed and crippled condition leaves themselves and their families hopelessly poor.. A word as to our distinctive future course: We hoped to have seen the various efforts now making in this Commonwealth for our disabled soldiers and their suffering families blended in a single organization for the at tainment of one grand result such as we con template ; but having striven to effect union with kindred associations thus far unsuccess fully, and the plan we propose, as above, being so peculiar, we shall endeavor to carry it out as a distinct organization, under proper charter from the State; and,, therefore, we call upon our fellow-citizens for their gener ous countenance and co-operation. We have two efficient solicitors employed to raise funds: Mr. T. Atkinson and Mr. A. G. Thomas, late faithful chaplains in the military hospital and field, whose time and labors we have engaged at a moderate com pensation, the more speedily to advance our work., Contributions may be also remitted to the Superintendent, Mr. A.

OBITUARY. „ Died, June 27th, 1865, at his residence in Baltimore Hundred, Sussex county, Delaware, WILLIAM SPENCER HALL, in his 74th year. The life of a good man, though his name be not written in high places, is well worthy of notice. In the heraldry of Heaven, goodness precedes greatness, For more than forty-five years Mr. Hall was an el der in the Presbyterian Church. From early manhood to old age, he was an active, efficient superintennent in the Sabbath-school. His love to Zion was ardent and practical. Like David, hisheart led him to build a temple to the honor of the Great King; and to-day the monument of his devotion stands upon the Atlan tic shore, where the music of the ooean unites forever with God’s worshipping people in anthems of praise and glory. i h»; piety of this servant of Christ shone out in every relation of life. Honoring God in his family, he proved the Most High to be the Covenant-keeping, faithful one as ever of old. • But one child of many, remains out of the Kingdom. The prayers of the pa triarch are iiow a memorial before G d and will yet prevail, we cannot doubt, for that living one. The mantle of the father has fallen upon a noble son, who for several years has been a goodly standardbe&rer in the eldership of our Church in Southern Delaware. But not alone was God honored by him in the fam ily. His Christian consistency and excellent judg ment won the regard and confidence of ;the whole community, and sadly will he be missed as the coun sellor and friend of his neighbors. JFxoin many a heart there fell upon him the benediction. ‘‘Blessed is the peace-maker/’ In his life, also, he proved that an interest in poli ties, and the faithful discharge of the duties of citi zenship do not conflict in any way with a. life of ear nest godliness. He was twice a member of the Legislature of Delaware, and also a member of the Convention which assembled several years since to amend the constitution of the State. As be was thus loyal to Christ, so he was thoroughly loyal to his country. In the darkest hours of the late conflict, his faith in God for the salvation of tbe land was un wavering. His remarkable good sense led him, even in the land of Egypt where he dwelt, to advocate the doctrine of emancipatio'. Permitted to seethe death of therebellion, and assured that the miserable Sin bad would soon be hurled from the shoulders of his native State, he could say with Simeon? “Now, Lord, lettest thou thy, servant depart in peace.” Well-passed the Rubicon of three-score years and ten, he “came to his grave, in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.” • . He sleeps in Jesus. J. G- H. L Iptfial .fjotirts. 43“ The f Presbytery of lowa City will meet at Clinton, on - Tuesday, September 12tb. at 734 P. M. H. L. STANLEY, Stated Clerk.

Davis Pain Killer.— Gents: The confidence I have in Perry Davis’ Pain Killer, as a remedy for Coughs, Colds, Burns, Sprains, and Rheumatism, for the cure of which I have successfully used it, induces me cheerfully to recommend its virtues to others. A few mouths ago I had recourse to it to destroy a felon; although I had never heard of its being used for that purpose; but, having suffered intensely from a former one, and having no other remedy at hand, I applied the Pain Killer freely for about fifteen minutes at evening, and repeated the application very briefly next morning, which entirely destroyed the felon, and increased my confidence in the utility of the remedy.

PUGH, Philadelphia, Agent. pffisraii piuraii rain HYMN AND TUNE 8D0K: PRAYER-MEETING, FAMILY CIRCLE, THE “SOCIAL HYMN ANO TUNE BOOK" is an endeavor to give, in a volume of moderate size, the best hymns and the best tunes. The Tunes, carefully selected and carefiilly adapted to the hymns, are fitted, it is believed, b'.-ili to ex*. -toss thesentimente of sacred song *nd-to kindle, in pious hearts, the flame of devotion. They are old tunes chiefly, with such approved new ones &.> the Church will not let die. The Tenor and Bass havt b«en given on separate staves, at some expense of space and cost; but to many singers this arrangement will prove helpful and acceptable. While the collection is primarily desigr edf r * rial worship, it is well suited to the use of tV e taut il-- and congregation. The New York Observer soy?:— i 4 It appears to us to be admirably adapted to its purpose. . . . Many first-rate tunes, arranged and printed so as to be easily used. Itwillbeamostacceptablebookin fam ilies, mission churches, and, if our taste was the rule, it would be used in S abbath-schools.” The Evangelist says“ The Publication Comm u tee of our Church have just issued a volume which we ap prehend is destined to become uighiy popular or ong our churches. It is entitled, -I'n’ Hymn And tone Book,’ and is designed for the lecture- room, prj.ver meeting, family-circle, and mission church. It i- one of the neatest and most tastel ul volumes of the kind, which we have ever met with. Although a 16mo of 512 pages, it is by no means bulky, while the print is clear and distinct, and sufficiently large for common nse. Most of the hymns are from .'..CaurcL P- • m ist, and by means of the index wito i l ** refer.ciees, every hymn can be identified in the two books. The tunes and hymns are arranged thioughout the vol ume on alternate pages, so as to suit the convenience of a promiscuous congregation, and enable them to join intelligently in their songs of praise.” The American Presbyterian says:—“This Hymn Book is really charming in its propriety and good taste as an article of . . .
