Mi ncy On. Company. —The following state-
Eof the operations of the Muncy Oil Company,
we find in the Luminary.
• liter the great freshet in the spring of 1865,
P .il oil made its appearance in springs of water,
seven miles north of the Borough of Muncy. A
company was formed to develops the territory.—
h July last, they commenced sinking a well. At
th depth of one hundred and fifty feet a small
?em of oil was struck ; another small vein was
* !, at two hinidred and fifty feet; both

tiata of brown sand stone and one of white,
. tin passed into the brown sand stone, and when
I p:ng from the second strata of brown sand into
oad strata of white sand, at a depth of four
H - ail: 1 and fifty feet, a large vein of oil was
I struts. at 1 o'clock P. M., on Thursday, the 25th
■ mat., which continues to flow, notwithstanding
I it ,t pressure of water upon it. Should this
I i - : oil continue to flow for a few hours more,it
necessary to tube the well and test the
I *ria. This is a very unexpected result, as no large
■ of oil was looked for short of six hundred and
An almost universal opinion has been prevail-
I tag that oil could not be struck on the south-east
slope of the Alleghany mountains, which has made
it very difficult for the Muncy Company to obtain
I subscribers to the stock of the Company. The

[ COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.—We
H record, in another column, the marriage of Mr.
II t -lee, well known in this community as a suc
;es-f;il teacher for years in the Susquehanna Col-
I itgiat Institute. On account of his health he is
H sow residing at Bear Creek, Luzerne county,
| where he is engaged in business. The Institute
I --s. iu the past, enjoyed the services of a num-
I o rof teachers, whose friends may be glad to
f know their present location.
Rev. S. F. Colt is at Orwisburg, Schuylkill co.
m r,, f. Albebt A. Ludwxg, teaches in Scran ton,
1 having been for some years previously instructing
I in Modern Languages in Washington College, Va.,
I the institution over which Gen. Lee now presides.
Rev. Wm. H. Dean, has just accepted a call to be
come pastor of the Congregational church in
Kndgewater, Conn., being but four miles distant
from his brother's charge in Roxbury. Rev. S. J.
Coffin is at Lafayette College, Easton.

Miss Dickinson,) resides at Alabama, Genesee
county, N. Y. Miss Anna Dean—now Mrs, Fow-
A T Yorktown, N. Y. Miss Shebman teach
es at I ioga, aud Miss Malybn is the principal of
the High Srhool in Stroudsburg.
It is said that one thousand scholars have been
registered on the roll of the Susquehanna Collegi-
I eat Institute, since it was founded. It has truly
| done a great work in our county for education.—
\\ e hope soon to see it receive a fresh impetus. In
- 'hose days, when Peabody, Packee and Pabdxe,
are making themselves deservedly honored by
their benefactions to literary establishments, can
not some of our own wealthy citizens do them
selves the credit of devising and executing a plan
to promote our own Institute to the place it de
serves as a great power for the advancement of the
educational interests of Bradford County. If this
cau be done liberally, and speedily, none will re
joice more than one ot its former

works, and moreover the steps of their progression are
so carefullv taken, and so seiur ly planted, that 1
cannot see how any teacher who follows the directions
of the author can fail of the highest success
The exercises in articulation at the opening of all
the basons in the Primary numbers, afford a pastime
as pleasant as it is profitable to those pupils whose
teachers enter upon them with a spiiit and a relish
and the rules and exercises in Inflection, Emphasis
4c., in the more advanced numtiers, are so definite and
plain that all who attend to them c u not lail to be
come good critics as well as good readers.
I cannot expre s '• briefly' my high appreciation o
thsee works, and while i would by no means depre
ciate the Sander series fur the good they have done
I yet rejoice that so great ou advance on them hai
been reached by the Osgood Progressive Readers.
Yours, 4c.,
Mrs. tf. EiflZA GIBSON.
