ASSOCIATION. —The Association met in the Presbyterian Church of Towanda, Sept. 6 and 7th, -1865. The President. B. S. RUSSELL, in the Chair. Delegates were present from nineteen towns in the County, being an inerese of about titty i>er cent, in attendance over any previous meeting of the Association. Being t ie annual meeting, much business came before the Association in regard to the Sunday School cause of the County. We were fa vored with two good, earnest and practical ser mons, one from A. F. TODD, of Athens ; and one from Rev. J. A. RUSSELL, of Wysox. There were also short speeches on the following topics of Sunday School, from different persons : What is the best system of Sunday School re ward ? How shall we prevent the evil of our scholars leaving the Sunday School at the age of fourteen or fifteen ? How shall strangers and visitors he disposed of in our Sunday School? A resolution was adopted inviting the Susque hanna County Sunday School Association to meet with us at our next meeting, and one inviting R. G, PARDEE, Esq. of New York, to attend at the same tine. The following preamble and resolution was adopted : WHEREAS, This Association has by the Divine blessing, entered on the 3d year of its existence and it is desirable that its history should begin to assume something of a permanent and tangible form, therefore Resolved, That B. S. Russell, Rev. H. J. Crane, and O. A. Black, be requested to prepare our First Annual Report, to be published for the use of the members. The committee on nominations, report the fol lowing named persons for the several offices, all of whom were elected, viz : PRESIDENT— B. S. RUSSELL, VICE PRES'T— REV. A. F. HARDING, COR. SEC.—S. W. ALVORD, REC. SEC.—O. A. BLACK, TBEAS.— N. N. BETTS, Jr. The committee appointed to prepare a program me for the next meeting, and select a place for said meeting, report as follows, and the report was adopted : Sermon from Rev. Mr. Alden, of Smitbfield.— Alternate—Rev. G. W. Leech, of Windham. Ad dress from Rev. Jas. McWilliams, of Towanda. TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION. How can the talents and energy of the Church and Nation be more fully enlisted in the Sunday School work ? To open discussion, Rev. C. Salmon. Alternute —Dr. E. P. C'oburn. Resolved, That Sunday School Teachers' Insti tutes would better promote the cause of Sunday- Schools than conventions. To lead, B. S. Russell. Alternate—G. H. Wood. Resolved, That Sabbath SchooLs in the rural dis tricts should not be closed during the winter mouths. To lead, Rev. Geo. R. Hair. Alternate—O. F. Young. \\ hat are the most pressing needs of our Sunday Schools ? To lead, Rev. Mr. Blakeman. Alternate—O. A. Block. Place of meeting—Leßaysville. Time of meet ing, Nov. 15 and 10, 1805. Rev. H. J. Crane offered the following amend ments to the constitution, viz : One changing the time of the Annual Meeting from the first to the third week of Sept. And one making the President of the Association President oi the Executive Committee, and requiring three members of said committee to constitute a quo rum. These amendments will be acted upon at the next regular meeting. The Treasurer's report of the past year, shows reason for encouragement, yet we see that only about fifty of the one hundred and fifty-four schools in working .order at the beginning of the season have contributed to the funds of the Association. The Sunday School Missionary's (Rev. R. Crit tenden, ) Annual Report shows a great amount of work already done, but a greater amount yet to be done before the purposes of the Association are ac complished. This meeting, in attendance and in terest, shows the object of the Association to be more widely known and appreciated, and evinces a willingness on the part of the Christians of our County, to work together, to extend the advanta ges of Sunday School instruction to all. The sessions of this meeting were closed with a Children's Meeting, conducted in the usual man ner. After the Benediction, the Association ad journed to meet at Leßaysville, on the 15th and loth of November next. O. A. BLACK, REC. SEC. SALT IN TIOGA.—AN OIL WELL AT APALACHIN AND WHAT CAME OF IT.— The shibboleth of the Pe troleuni Prince, "I've struck oil" has lately fallen into disuse and the thousand and one derricks and engines throughout the country have fallen in to the autumn of their existence. Oil is in brief, "played out." In Tioga, its existence or other wise, is a matter of the most decided indifference. We want no Petroleum Princes, we will none of them, have we not Apalachin, and Apalachin salt? Our new patent of nobility rests on the Apalachin creek, with a surface indication of salt. We noted last week the discovery near Apalachin Corners, of a well flowing profusely of water strongly impregnated with salt. During the past week an att'ichee of the ADVOCATE, has visited the new Mecca, and his observations in that region will be found below. Leaving Apalachin Corners and the Susquehanna, in the rear we turned due south, and up the valley of the creek. The creek is an unimportant stream of no great worth, fringed on either bank with the usual growth of button-woods and a varying width of marsh, the banks sloping back to the ridge on either side, varying in bight from fifty feet. At about a mile and a half from the junction of the creek and the Susquehanna, and on the right bank of the creek, on the farm of Joshua Townsend, the Bingham ton Petroleum Company, whoever they may be, commenced sinking a well in search of petroleum on the fourth of July last, after near ly three months of drilling and boring through a geological formation undescribed except as alter nate layers of grey hard rock, and soft shell rock and at u depth of two hundred and ninety feet, the " sand rock" the sure indication of oil pros pect was found. At eight feet lower and 011 the 22d of September the drill c anic upon a powerful spring of heavily impregnated salt water, which burst through the drive pipe, and overran the surroundings of the boring apparatus. The flow hies been variously estimated at from one to two hundred barrels per day. The water is accompan ied by an immense flftw of gas which burns bright ly and powerfully along the flow of water. From a pint of the water as it escapes frotn the capping of the well, we have before us nearly two ounces of salt boiled down tinder the writer's eye. It is claimed by the company owning the well, that this strength is not the full strength of this won derful saline spring. They claim that at the depth of twelve feet and again ut the depth of two hun dred and eighty odd, to have struck fresh water and that tue present escape from the well is large ly composed of fresh water and that when the well is tubed and the salt water in all its purity is brought to the surface, its yield of salt will be at least one third greater. The great importance and value, of this spring may be easily calculated, when it is known that the most powerful salt springs known, are at Salina. They are pumping wells, and the yield of salt is at the rate of seven ounces of salt from two pounds of water. A num ber of gentlemen of this village have taken the matter in hand and it i proposed as we learn to make oh effort toward joining the salt aristocracy.

GOING TO EUROPE. —The wardens and ves try of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Wilkes- Barre, we understand, have given their Rector, Rev. Geo. D. Miles, leave of absence to visit the continent of Europe, for one year. Mr. Miles sails the latter part of this month, with the family of Charles Wurtz, of Carbondale. A deserved compliment to a worthy and upright Christian cler gyman. The Rev. C. W. Viuing who has safe ly returned from a journey in the East, thoughtful ly brings us, among other curiosities, some of the newspapers published in Egypt and Turkey. They are in four languages, Frenen, Turkish, Armenian and Greek. We cannot read them, but he can and through his patience we have been gratified to learn their contents, and "I he materials of which newspa pers are made up in the land of the Osmanhs.— Our American enterprise is well represented : stoves wooden and tin-ware, ploughs, axes and tools are advertised from this country, In each of the four languages are heralded the virtues of the remedies made by our celebrated countryman, Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., of Lowell. They seem not to depend on their home reputation or confidence abroad, but publish the certificates of the Musselmen rulers themselves, to toe cures which those medicines have made in their miest. The Rev. gentleman in forms us that the whole of the remedial aid employ ed in those countries, comes from Europe or Amer ica, as they possess no medical colleges or schools in which they have any confidence taemselves.— There arose the religious ideas which pervadu the human family, but almost all that is useful in art and invention must be carried back to these, the earlier settlements of mankind.—[Lynn News.
