Irving to Oil City, a distance of fifty-three
miles, with three miles of siding, and to fur
nish the same with locomotives and cars; the
whole to be completed with the equinments
in all of May, IS66—or in about five months
from this time. The oil product from the re
gion which it opens is estimated at from 5000

A Complimentary Dinner was given to the
Hon. Asa Packer, at Bethlehem, November
23, by his old friends and associates, as a
mark of respect for his munificent gift to the
cause of education of fifty-seven acres of land
adjoining the lovely Moravian village of
Bethlehem, and five hundred thousand dollars
in money, to build and endow a great Poly
technic school. Speeches were made by the
Hon. Morton McMichael, John W. Forney,
- W. 11. Gatzmer, Hon. A. Ramsey, Daniel
Dougherty, Dr. McLean, and others. , The
allusions . to Judge Packer's princely gener
osity were frequent, and were handsomely
interpreted in the short sentiment of our well
known citizen, Morris Buckman : " The Le
high University—May it be able to teach its
scholars, in a few practical lessons, the know
ledge that cost its generous founder a life
time of toil and. experience to acquire."
Governor Curtin is much indisposed, and
contemplates a visit to Cuba.

to $1 75 per ton.—A meeting in aid of the

ston, N. Y., on being attacked by two high
waymen, said, " Well, if 1 must give up . my
money, I had better do it." So he quietly
took off his glove, and putting his hand into
his side pocket, he drew out—not his pocket
book—but a neat revolver;and bringing it to
bear in an instant, he shot one of the robbers
dead and wounded the other.—There are
four candidates for the Mayoralty of New
York City. The Republican candidate is
Marshall 0. Roberts.
Tenement Houses.—The New York -Times,
in an article on this subject says :—" It is a
marvel to observers how respectable and
Christian gentlemen, who, in all other mat
ters, act under a high sense of duty or re
can so completely neglect and disregard
their tenement property. Many of them
never come near their houses. They know
nothing of the condition of their tenants, or
the sanitary state of their housps. They
suffer, year after year, their tenants to be
poisoned and corrupted by the wretched con
dition of their houses, and leave the whole
matter to their agents, often - men of no feel
ing or character; We doubt if any Southern
slave-master was ever so entirely indifferent
to the welfare of his slaves as are some of
these, capitalists to those who occupy their
dwellings I"

are willing to extend the right to Freedmen
to testify in cOurt if the troops are withdrawn.

A Bad Example.—The carpet for the
Representatives Hall, at Washington, has

chief rebel engineer of the defences of

She has seven missionaries engaged as pas

rum as part of her cffrgo.
Experiments on Steam Boilers.—ln New
York, Mr. Wiard has just concluded a series
of experiments on the remaining boiler of the
unfortunate steamer St. John. He found,
by placing thermometers in different positions
in the boiler, when steam was up, that there
is a difference of temperature of no less than
231 degrees. The temperature of the water
just below the water line was 269 'degrees,
while the temperature of the steam just above,
the water line was from 395 to 500 degrees.
When the boat was in motion, the water was
found to oscillate up and down from the
water level about six inches, and when this
happened, the iron of the boiler was of course
heated suddenly and cooled suddenly, to the
extent of the difference above stated, or 231'
degrees. The rapid expansions and contrac
tions caused by these wide and sudden
changes of temperature, must, of course,
make a great strain on the material, and con
stantly weaken the boilek:

to be laid across Behring's straits has been

Religious Tests in England.—The Univer
sity of Cambridge is open to every religious
belief—that is for instruction. But the mem
bers of the Senate—the governing body of
the university—are required to take an oath
of conformity. It appears, however, that the
exclusiveness of the body is modified by an
arrangement which enables the member once
in the Senate,
to follow any creed he chooses.
Recently a distinguished member of the
Church of Rome was elected in spite of his
declining to make the required declaration.
Italy.—The cholera was increasing in
Naples, in the early part of the month.
Canada.—The people are still arming and
drilling, and in a state of general excitement
about the Fenians.—Oil wells have been
discovered near the. Thames, in the vicinity

—Senator Sherman, ex-Gov. Ramsey, and
others have been travelling through the
coal regions.—The population of Minneso

city of Georgetown, D. C.,furnished but 100
nce.n to the Union army, while 480 were en
rolled in the ranks of the rebellion.—For

from Canada in babies made of tin, and hold
from three to five gallons. They are careful
ly dressed and held in the arms of• women
travellers, in the cars.
TEMPERANCE IN Nzw JERSEY.—The
friends of temperance in New Jersey are
inaugurating what we hope will become
a vigorous effort for the revival of the
cause in that State. A State Conven
tion assembles this day, November 30,
in New Brunswick. In the call which
summoned it, request was made that
churches, Sabbath-schools, and temper
ance organizations of every name should
send delegates. We hope and expect to
hear a good account of this meeting, and
we trust that our New Jersey friends
will remember one thing which has
everywhere been disastrously overlooked
—that the value of public temperance
demonstrations consists mainly in their
being well followed by extensive per
sonal effort. The temperance men and
women of New Jersey can reclaim the
State from the reign of intemperance, if
they will take hold and hold on,• and so
can we in Pennsylvania.
DAVIS'S PAIN KILLER has won for itself a
reputation unsurpassed in the history of me
dical preparations. It is as well known in
the tradin g 0. ports of India and China as in
New York and Cincinnati ; and its continu
ally increasing demand, where it has been
longest known, is one of its strongest recom
mendations. It gives immediate relief in
scald dysentery, or other similar affections of
the bowels; and being entirely a vegetable
preparation, it is as safe as it is reliable.
