THE LECTURE.
TI , O lecture by the Hon. Schuyler, Col
fax last Friday evening, was the most in.
structive entertainment the people of To-
Wanda have had for a long bine. - The lee
turer's long life among public men, and his
intimate acquaintance with the Presidents
whose histories ha sketched, especially
with President Lincoln, gave l is lecture
aniu.terest and value which cannot Well
be 'estimated. - Ills anecdotes of -Lincoln
were charaeteristic, and well illustrated
the deinocracy, the greatness, and kind
liness of the War President whom the
American people loved so well.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
On ',Wednesday of last week, Mr. T. S.
Bailey and wife, bf Granville, started
with tt team to visit Mr. Orrin Bailey, of
the stme place. On reaching Mr. George
Barnes' they stopped for him and his wife
to go along with him. Atter. Mrs. Barnes
had entered the wagon, they required an
other robe and. Mr. Barnes sent, a boy to
the house for one. On the boy's return
ing from the house he shook the robe,
causing the horses to get frightened and
they ran towards the road, and on - reach
ing it they turned — so sharp a Corner that
the wagon upset, throwing , both ladies
out on the ground, and injured Mrs. Bai
ley so badly that she died in a short time.
Mrs.. Barnes was also quite seriously hurt
but not fatally.
WYOMING'S OIL PROSPECT.
The Tunkhannock Republican, of Fri-,
day last, says,; . "Ou Saturday news was
received hero that oil had been found in
large quantities at Well No. 1, at Lovel
-ton, and in consequence oil stock went up
beyond the reach of any figure, all the
holders of stock hqving visions of being
"Oil Princes" in the near future. On
Sunday nearly every
the
rig was en
gaged for a trip to the oil fiel is and many
embarked with the expectancy,of seeing
foi the first time in their lives a flowing
oil well. - But au arriving at the well af
ter their long and wea * risomeldrive they
were doomed todisappointment as -not a
vestige of oil was to be discoveiedi except
the barrel of crude oil in use at the der-`
rick. Although no oil %sea to be seen
there was plenty of gas, more than
enough to run the engine with, and the
general opinion is that oil will eventually
bo found."

tion, "Why this meetings and cordial
greeting of friends I" Were we to affirm
that "We meet in the interest of peace
and good will to all," we are as liable .to
be misunderstood as wax the "Prince of
Peace," who. was put to death on the
cross by those whom he, sought to save.
In the face otall this, I venture to affirm
that the earnest of each heart here will
respond to the 'tsentiMent of that angelic
throng, the echo of whose voices awaken
ed the lowly shepherds of "Judea," with
the Elosanusrof "Peace among Men."'
The history of 'humanity proves that
progress is within the range of , our capa
bilities. The evidences multiply on every
hand that teach U 11• the true relation of
man to man, of man to God, and God to
man.
One of Hai evidences of social 'progress
is the increase in numbers of "surpris
ing" and .friendly meetings, not unlike
the present. - The language of all this
cordiality, is the inner voice of the soul
seeking such relationship, as will, satisfy
its earnest desire for (Hem's.
_Ralph 11 el
do Emerson affirms, "Happy is the house
that shelters a friend, but lia"pier those
who know the solemnity of the relation."
A grand multitude 1 People all around us,
as well as Mr. Emoi"tioe, have come to un

dity, under the guise of a sutler exe.bang

er by fear, by pride, by hate,'by hope, by
admiration, by lust, by lucre, or by any
form of - sellishrtess. Humanity is learn
ing that true fiiendship has in it no ele

pound of truth and tendeirnese.
The full teat cf the
n the . presence of a friend the mills free."
We may think aloud.. We may drop
off all covering and dissimulation, and be
permitted to speak in sincerity, because
we shall be understood.. Then soul with
soul, sweet converse holds, and heaven
smiles its benedictions. Then the Infinite
with the finite, in our earth hearts here.
For such friendships our hearts are long
ing; and to strengthen each other and at
tain this good we_are gathered here to- .
day. There is an infinite reward in
reaching this noble conception of an . Ira
mortal principle. Once gained, our feet
ing of helplessness is 'relieved, - and the
craving for 'sympathy and love is sittisii-
tied, and there is room for hope even in a,
far off eternity. The cry of the soul is
for food. It'demands growth. We should
love more and more. Our friend Ships are
strengthened by exercise. By 'anion,
even through trial, through danger and
difficulty, through peril. - We receive dis
cipline, and when quickened 'by Divine
contact its destiny of immortality is sure:
But when we reflect upon tenderness,
the otter element of friendship, we can
not easily understand•how so much char
acter can be clustered in another as to
draw us by love. Inquire within. Ask
ourselves ! Can those with whom we as
sociate be blessed, by our being so pure
that we may offer them tenderness?
Aside from Scripture teaching we find but
little written in books touching the heart
Or this niattei. " A mother's tenderness"
may move our sympathy. The soldier
poet may ask, "bear tam home tenderly,"
who falls in battle among strangers, and
another may invite ns to
"Speak gently to the erring; know
They may have tolled In vain,
Perchance unkindness made them do,

"Speak gently? He who gave Ills life
To bend man's stubborn will, .
When elements were fierce with strife,
Sabi to them, Peace, be atilt:
• And yet-we may remain without that
element of tenderneSs that would enable
us to bless them who persecute us, and
. say all mauncr.of evil against us, we need
a noble ambition. Let us who are hero,
now, resolve to cultivate' the spirit .of a
true and earnest life. "And as the years
fly on and hevor..tarry," and "the be
yond" draws nearer every day. may we
make our present thoughts sublime by as
sociating them with what the " 'angels
-saw-before the:stars were 'rounded from
the mist,.or ere the roseate light curtained
the new born world ;" God's grandest
thoughts entlashed,',' thereby enabling us
to enthrone righleousness in the human
soul, making.it equal with, or above the
