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.

COLLEGE RECORD.
Madison University, Hamilton, N.
Y., (Baptist) anniversany of Literary So
cieties, July 31. Orator Rev. C. B. 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.

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.
E. E. Adams, D.D., of which the cor
respondent “of the Independent says:—
“Rev. Ezra E. 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,

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. Martin, No.

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

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. H

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 . . . T:> the
Hymns given, we find those that are loved i:. rhe
churches. . . .We hail with sail u^abnikso
well selected and so well arranged.”
