Rev. Wagner then delivered an address on his topic, "How Can A'tcndance of Sunday School Children Upon Church Services be Secured ?" Children should not bo allowed to acquire tho idea that tho Sunday school Is their church, and that. by attending it, they have discharged their duty to the church. Parents should set their children a consistent cxamplo church attendance. Tho teacher should be a consistent, devout Christian, an experi enced guide. The children may be taken to tbo church services before they are ablu to attend Sunday school or to stay for both services. Singing by tho convention was followed with an essay by Mr. H. G.

W. R. S. Connkix, M. D., Manchester, O, Horrible Dentil ot a lHrciiiuii and u Uraltemau on tlie Meadluit, A coal and a freight train came Into col llslon on the Philadelphia and Reading railroad at Mlntzer's switch, two miles west of Tamaqua, at noon Saturday last, Wm, Pructt, of Catawusa, a brakeman, who was riding on tho engine, was killed. Ho was pinned fast on the scat in the cngiuo cab and scalded to death by escaping steam, lie lived about a halt an hour In this position. The cnglno had to bo pried apart with Iron bars beforo his body could bo extricated. Ho was 21 yeaisold and unmarried. Charles McAfee, a fireman saw the coal train coming and tried to jump, but ono leg was caught between the engtno and tho water tank and pinched oil abovo the knee, dropping McAfee to tho embankment from whence ho crawled fifty feet.

When licenses wcro called up on Monday afternoon tho Court room was full ot peo ple About fifty ladies, of Espy, wcro present to hear tho testimony In the case of Jacob Blosser, an applicant for a hotel li cense at that puce. Mr. Howell represent ed tho applicant nnd Messrs. E, 11, & R. R. Llttto and J, M. C. Ranck, tho opposition. A rcmonstranco containing 820 names was filed, anda number of witnesses wcro called on each side, Bomo testimony was ottered ou bchitlf of tho remonstrants to show that Mr. Blosser was not competent to keep a hotel by reason ot somo physical Infirmity, nnd that he employed a man to conduct tho business for him, who was of Intcmpcrato habits; Unit strangers had been refused meals and lodging, nnd that liquor bad been sold to men when Intoxicated; that there was sometimes a crowd tn front of tho hotel so that persons passing wcro obliged to go out Into tho street. On be half of tho applicant It was contended that Espy has nearly 500 Inhabitants, and that a hotel is necessary for the accommodation of tho traveling public; that It has been li censed for many years, nnd that no viola tion of the law occurred whllo Blosser had a license for tho house, In 1835, Fifteen witnesses wero called. On tho argument It was urged by tho op position that tho petition docs not set forth that a license to sell liquor at that place Is necessary, but reads that thero Is a ncces. slty for tho house. A distinction was made between tho necessity for tho houso nnd a necessity for a license to sell liquor. Judge Dreher then remarked that if tho granting of licenses depended upon tho necessity of licenses to sell liquor, he would refuse every application that came before him, but as ho understood the In', It was the necessity for a public house for the accora modatlon of tho travelling public, and tho entertainment of strangers and travellers, that the courts are obliged to contidcr. A question was also raised as to the snlllc- lency of Blosser's bond, It being signed by two persons whose names were on the pe tltlou, but who were not residents of Scott township. A remonstrance was also filed against tho petition of A. J. Thrash, an applicant for a hotel llccnso at Lightstrcet. It was Bigned by 72 noines, mostly females. A supple mental petition was presented by Mr, Zarr, containing 73 names, a few of whom re sided out of tho township. No witnesses wcro called on cither side, and the case was submitted on the papers, after argu ment by Mr. Llttto and Mr, Zarr. . II. Fulmcr's application for a hotel license at Eycr's Grove was next called, L. 8. Winterslecn for tho applicant. Tho first objection raised was that tho applicant had not signed his name to the petition, nnd as he was about to pign it In Court, Mr. Littlo objected, that it was too late to sign now Judgo Dreher remarked that if it was too late, his signature would not mend it. A number of witnesses were examined In be half ot the applicant. Tho opposition called no witnesses, stating that they relied on the remonstrance nnd the cross-cxami notion of witnesses. There were 47 names on the remonstrance. Edward J. Haffey was a now applicant for a restaurant in Centralla. Thero was no special rcmonstrunce ngalnst It. Scy. cral witnesses wero examined as to tho character ot the applicant, the convenience of tho house, &c. Norman Col6 was an applicaat for a res laurant in bugarloaf. He was sworn on his own behalf. Michael J. Ryan asked for a restaurant license in Centralla. Tho Court held all theso cases under advisement. Tho application of B. E. Long was with urawn. Ctim-BC to Grand Jury. In his charge to the Grind Jury on Mon, Alonday last Judgo Dreher called partlcu' lar attention to that part of tho oath whicl; requires the Grand Jury to present matters within their own knowledge; telling them that, if any Grand Juror know of violation of law, ho should communicate with his fellows, and that, If after consultation, the jury should think that ft crime had been committed, and there was reasonable cause to believe that a certain person had com mltted it, they might make presentment o: the facts in their own language, together with the names of any witnesses. He also instructed the jury that the oath of secrecy was binding beyond tho time of tho session of the Grand Jury, extending to all time; that a juror was not to divulgo what took placo beforo tho Grand Jury, except by presentment In open Court, or when re quired in a judicial proceeding; that this oath was as much for the protection ofjth jurors as for anything else, relieving the juror from dread of what a criminal might do by way of revenge if he knew that a pattlculur juror had informed against him, On the subject of roads, the Court charged that they should bo kept in such a condition that a traveler, using reasonable care and caution, could pass over them in safety; and that, if, through neglect of tho super. visor, they wero not In such repair, th township would be responsible to tho per son injured; submitting to tho jury tho re turns of certain constables, It was suggested that, in view of the season of the year, it might bo well for the jury to direct the dis trict attorney to notify tho officers lu fault of their duty, and let tho next grand jury proceed against them by indictment, unless tho duty was promptly discharged. The too-common practice of encroaching upon tho limits of tho highway, when resetting a fence,was touched upon, and pronounced "all wrong."

TllC llUIIHOlll Oil lIllHlllCtffl, Binco week beforo lust tho subject ot oil In tho vicinity of Ransom has been tho main subjiot for discussion nnd prospect ing lias been carried on vigorously, Th old Tomklus estate of somo five hundred acres ot woodland, now owned by George W. Chamberlln, through which tho Gurd ner creek runs on Its way from Mllwaukie to tho river, has been closely examined with considerable success. At various points along its courso the bluish glossy film has been found to oxlst and at ono placo the soil Is found bubbling to tho sur. faco ot a spring, Even greater success has been mot with alony tho river. On tho pro perty of W. F. Bandway, merchant and postmaster at Ransom, a springy placo near the river shows tho petroleum deposit to a rcmarkacto extent. Mr, B. F. Antrim, tho well known Pitts- ton dry goo h merchant, has taken a great Interest In tho matter all along, and has mado a personal and exhatistlvo examin ation ot tho ground, and expresses himself entirely convinced of tho existence of oil In tho vicinity. It Is needless to say that many eyes havo been directed hero slnco tho report went out, and letters havo been received by somo ot tho citizens from men ot means In tho Bradford region asking for particulars and opinions on tho prospects. Thero Is no doubt that these parties will soon bo on to examine the ground for themselves. "gSlmiamaltcr'ji. rniLimi.rniA, Mar 2, IBS?. We send either poods or samples if you write for what you want.

Ie. vcloplnir tlie Country. Tho great valley lying between Nob and North mountains, embracing many town ships In upper Columbia nnd lower Luz- erno counties, Is, perhaps, tho most exten. stvo ono In central Pennsylvania. It stretches Into a vast and oxtcnslvo undu lating plateau sovcral acres ot mites In length, trom Orangcvllto north west and cast containing 4 or S hundred squaro miles, sufficient for 6 or 0 thousand SO aero farms, In which aro many thriving villages, swelling a total population from 20 to 30 thousand Inhabitants. It Is trn versed by numerous streams whoso courses run In south westerly and south easterly directions, many of which havo a sufficient volume of water for manufacturing nnd other purposes and whoso sources In tho main can bo traced to tbo top of North mountain. North mountain is an elevated and Immense plateau, an almost endless wilderness of a great variety of timbers whoso capac'ty will furnish an almost in exhaustible supply of lumber. Nob tnoun. tain's sides slopo up boldly and meet nt the top In such a manner that it could bo "saddled and straddled" all along Its edge. To mako this tho most productive valley In tho stato needs but tho application of lime which Is tho most efficient fertilizer adapted to the soil and which cannot now bo procured without too great cxpcnsc,har ing no other facilities for transportation than carting with teams and wagons, dis tances varying from 13 to 20 miles. 8ymp. toms of coal havo been discovered In differ, cnt localities, hut as no proper means for their development aro at hand they will no doubt lie dormant until a greater demand for that commodity will chaneo our farm ing community to a mining district. Tho Hloomsbure & Sullivan railroad, now graded to Stillwater, and pledged to be completed and put In active operation as far as Benton by July 4th, a distance of to mucs, connecting liloomsburg and ucr nice with many intermediate noints when fully constructed. This road crokses tho western portion ol our valley nlong tho banks of Fishlngcrcek and penetrates tho forests on North mountain into Sulllvun county. Tho aboyo named mountoins run in parallel ranges whoso bases tiro dis tanced 12 to 15 miles and effectually con fine tho valley from easy communication witn tuo outer world. Tho Wilkesbarro & Western railway now In tho course of construction and complet ed from Wataontown to Mlllville, a dis tance of 23 miles, seems to hesitate, and undecided which course to tako from that point to enhance most the interest of that company. Several routes havo been thoroughly tested but serious obstructions and other difficulties confront them at somo point or other. Tho company are making a survey from Millvllc tin Little Flshlnc- creek to Intersect the old Hunlock'a creek and Muncy survey, thenco run on that line eastward to Harvcyville, at which point Is the nation famed "Bloomlngdalo Camp meeting Ground." It Is difficult to predict the eastern terminus of the road from that point. Should the W & V. take this route, it would effectually sweep tho local and passenger traffic from Us western to its eastern terminous throughout tho entire length and breadth of the valley and havo easy and commodious access along tbo whole range of North mountain whose capacity for lnmber will furnish half a cen tury of busy trafllc. It will also put lower Luzerne In direct communication with Wilkesbarro and secure nine tcntha mora local and passenger freight than the Nob mountain route would. Ai-es. Mlffllu.
