The Aeadeniy-of the Visitation at Mouiit.ele Ch-»ntal, is an in sti- Jtion under' the * charge of sisters of the Roman Catholic order of the Visitation, which .has been frequently mentioned in these columns. An accomplished Philadelphia lady, nowktiown as Sister Mary Agnes, has been the principal teachprof music for some years. All the other,branches, of a first-class education are under the charge of ladies edu cated with equal thoroughness. Part Of the : mission'of this Acatlcmy has Wen to giVc free education to girls of talent who coiddnot • aftbrd to pay for instruction.; The im poverishment ■ of so many people it) the Southern States by the rebellion' has made a great many demands upon the Sis ters, who, of course, work without pay. They have erected a large building, on which a heavy debt presses, and they are anxious to be relieved of this, so that they may extend the benefits of their'institution. Two of the Sis ters, by direction of the Bishop of Wheeling, are in the East, presenting the claims of the Academy to the charitable, and any contribu tions that may he made, by registered letters or post-oflice orders, should be addressed to "The Sister's of the Visitation, Mount de Cbantal, near Wheeling, W. Va.” If the donors would enclose stamps . to cover letters of acknowledgement, it would be a favor,, as postage is quite a seri ous item in every large institution. A farm of one hundred acres, near Washington city, has been given to the Sisters, and to make this available and advantageous, they invite dollar contributions, intending, when a sufficient .sum is raised, to have tlie property drawn for. .Girls of ail religions are receivedin the Acade my, and there is no compulsion as to matters of faith. The object of the Sisters Is, using their pwn language, to furnish .“Free Education to Impoverished American Talent,” without re gard to religious creed. We heartily commend them and their self-sacrificing work to tho be nevolent among our readers. (For the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] The WlllfAm F,Le«ch. I have read with much gratification the obituary notices of the late William F. Leech, Esq., which have api>eared in the public papers. These expressions of respect show that business talents, applied with energy and integrity, are appreciated in this city, while til? business life of Mr. Leech shows tbit Btidh talents thus applied can be fully re warded by the success which they achieve. Almost every business man in Philadelphia, and, perhaps, in the central and western part of the State, knew Mr. Leech well.. His pur suits were inseparably connected with those of the producer and the merchant—and the producer and the merchant unite in commen dation of Mr. Leech as an accomplished, en terprising, obliging, honest business man—an example to those who would achieve distinc tion in similar pursuits. Those who knew him in those pursuits have spoken of him kindly, respectfully, mostlaudingly. I, who knew less of Mr. Leech in his busi ness , relations, but more (perhaps, than some others) of his social and domestic life, desire to say that the most indent and successful/ pursuits of business are entirely consistent with the most devoted attention to, andMfho richest enjoyment of, domestic and social in tercourse. And in .Mr. Leech these .capabili ties were most beautifully illustrated. No care of the counting-room disturbau the fireside peace, though no mysterjvor concealment separated home interroursefrom the incidents ot outdoor life. And, 'while there was a known dependence of the elegance of the drawing-room upon the success of business, there was in the .enjoyment of that elegance, and the refinement which it denoted and pro duced, that which marie home the sanctuary of its inmates, and its unstudied, free hospi tality the delight of friends. As a man ot extensive business. Mr. Leech added to the wealth and mercantile stability • and credit of our city; as a gentleman of wealth, his liberality conduced to the refine ment of taste; as a merchant, he secured the respect and approval of his fellow-citizens; as a husband, a lather, a relative and friend, he possessed those admirable qualities that en deared him to the fireside circle imd to the in timates of his association. . , ■ ' ‘ .The* dispensations of Providence are myste rious. We leel the visitation, but wo cannot now comprehend why such a man is removed from the business walks of the city, where his example was so full of practical instruc tion. Still less do we understand why he should he called away from the enjoyment of that’ which he had so abundantly and honor ably achieved. Still farther from the reach of our understanding is the reason why the members of the loving and dependent family should havo their dearest, their most intimate ties severed, and “lover and friend put far from them.” These things will he compre hended hereafter.

PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER &, 1869. PETROLEUM NEWS, j More Sew and important Strikes—West I'ltliole Creek—Sew 140 Barrel Well— Tlie Big Well Averaging 2(SO Barrels— Coal at a Premium. Th 6 Titusville Herald ofMonday says: On Friday last one of the most important strikes that has occurred during the last month, ; with regard to the enlarging of the producing ; territory, wis made on the J. Blane farm, north of Bithole and east of Hoimden. run. Thif) well commenced to produce on Friday, and since'then, while it has been pumped, the yield has been at the rate of thirty barrels daily., The yield is black in color. It was, when flrst'struck, repotted as high as sixty barrels, iffhe working interest is owned by Messrs. L. H. Smith, Armstrong, Williams and others. This well i’s situated at some distance from any other, and has extended the black oil belt a considerable distance, . Early last month a new. well was tested on the S; Minor tract, a short distance south of the producing wells at Bean farm. The well is now producing eight barrels daily, and by the striking of it the territory has been en larged by perhaps fifty acres. ' At Pithole, last month, two new wells were struck, .which,now produce respectively five and eight.barrels daily. ■ The excitement occasioned by the strildn" of the large producing well on the Independent tract, ..West Pithole creek, still continues. Since the well was struck, a seven acre tract sold for 53,000, and another tract containing four acres, in a better location, sold tor $3,000. Both of these tracts are on the Independent tract. A lease of one acre adjoining the lease on whieh the well that has caused the excite ment is situated, was sold some time ago for SI ,000, and was leased at three-eighths royalty to Mr. Fred. Andrews, who disposed of his lease last Thursday for §l,OOO. This is the highest “ bonus” paid for a working interest since the palmy days of Pithole. The Mill farm, which adjoins the Indepen dent tract on the east, and which is producing forty barrels of black oil daily, was purchased by Mr. A. H. Bronson on Tuesday last, for soo,ooo. Air. B. owns nearly all of the work ing interest of this farm, add it is his intention to sink immediately most of his wells into the green oil rock. Another well on the Independent tract was sunk into the green oil rock last week. It was completed on Friday and pumping was commenced on Saturday. During .Saturday afternoon and yesterday it produced at the rate of 140 barrels daily. This well is owned by Messrs. Is owlon & Hamilton. The well owned by Messrs., Winsor Bros., Welch and others, produced 800 barrels dur ing the last three days of last week—a daily average of aid barrels. The product is re porteu to be increasing. A Bouseville correspondent of the Herald says: Consequent upon some “bull” move ment or other combination similarly respecta ble, coal has been so exceedingly scarce for a number of days that only partial operations are carried on at many ot the wells. Anxious well owners vainly resort to their accustomed sources of supply: the dingy precincts of Ve nango City have been once again ransacked to no purpose; to “make the confusion worse confounded,” the recent cold snap rendered abundance of fuel a prime necessity; and for the time everything else is dwarfed into com parative insignificance by the urgent demand for the great combustible THE JIORHOS BO W. Particulars by MtUI. A correspondent of the Corinne (Utah) Ite jiorter, writing from Salt Lake City, says: In the meantime the breach widens. The revo lution is going on just as I predicted in a re-' cent letter. Even my most intimate friends deprecated the idea, and frequently cautioned me to beware of what I said about Mormon ism, for it was a gigantic institution, and not a man of any influence dare say aught against Brigham’s rule lest he be subject to the mast I barbarous penalty. But ..mark what fol j lows. I said in advance of all others that ] there was rebellion'brewing, that there-were i men of influence and ability connected with | it, that it Was likely to be of a serious nature, j and when once started would know no bounds. - For srfoli are.the laws of fanaticism. Brig ham discovered the plot laid to dethrone him, ahd sought to avert it at the start, but-it was f too late. \The seed of insubordination had been sown War and wide, and the fruit thereof : was likely to be very popular. I The following, however, have been decapi tated from the Church temporarily, or until an ( investigation can he had, to ascertain the real * leader of this anti-Brighamjte organization, i that he maybe called upon to “pass in his? > checks” and pay the penalty of his obligation : to Mormoriism in the most approved style of torture: "W. S. Godbe, drug gist, publisher, in' part,- of the Utah Magazine, and member of the Com mon Council of Salt Lake City; T. B. H. Scen house, editor and proprietor of the Salt Lake Telegraph ; E. L. T. Harrison; editor and pro prietor of the Utah Magazine; Geo. D. Watt, bankrupt merchant; Dunbar, do.; M. Tullage, one of the principal writers for the Utah Mogazine.tmd several others whose names •I cannot- call -at-present,- hut who--are equally well known to the people. Extinguishing so many of the leading lights of Mormonism at one stroke is a matter that is not only likely to interest the people of Utah, but probably the whole ' country as well, for the time is soon coming when dire results may be the fruit of Brigham’s indiscreet policy.' He evidently does not realize the sudden change things have taken since the completion of the railroad, but seems to think his power :is ab solute as ever. He will, no doubt, find this out after a while, hut it will be too late to close the gap. Mr. Harrison and his coadjutors have taken a decided stand on this question of fanatic power in Utah; and intend to combat it to the very last. Severing the ties of fellowship with so many “ brethren ” of influence at this time is not the wisest move that Brigham might liavemade. But this is the policy marked out for the pre* sent, whether the “ ring ” make or break. A grand military review, or drill was held last week, in order, we suppose, to find out how much vitality remained in the old “Nau voo legion,” and to know whoto depend upon should the exigencies of the hierarchy require their support. The display was ludicrous enough, out the troops were highly compli mented by the Lieutenant-General (?), never theless, and at the close qf the drill all hands were marched into town and reviewed by the “Grand Mogul” of all Mornionism, his heirs and executors—that are to he. Every man was armed and uniformed to suit his own fancy, which, no doubt, lie lias a perfect right to do, as every one has to furnish his owii military equipage. A Queer Story. , ; Itis stated that .“a very large body” of An* giican clergymen in different parts of Eng-' land have preparedapetition to be sent to the Coimdl oftho Vatican! the prayer of which is, .“that, should tlie.decLsion of the Council he unfavorable (as the petitioners believe it not improbable it will he) to the validity of Angli can orders, the petitioners and others of their body who . have entered the . ministry of- the English Church through' re ligions motives should be received into the Catholic Church, ordained as priests, employed as such, and allowed, if married, to continue so until the death of their present wives—those married not to be employed as confessors.” This is a very extraordinary story, hat it is reported, on good authority,' as being entirely true; and it is added that “ many of the English Catholic bishops * are favorable to the petition.* and will urge Its adoption by the Holy Eat her and • the Coun cil,” and that “ the affixed to the petition are already numerous,“ and are in creasing every diiy.e -Jibe Jtevolution ' proposes a “Homo for Fallen Mon.” OUR WHOIiE COUNTRY. - jiffs Effect on Russian Commerce. ‘ The opening of the Suez Cahal is expected by commercial men inftussisrtoproduce great advantages foe Russian trade, ami preparations are'being made for using it largely as a'means of communication with -India and- Central Asia.;- The; Steam- Navigatiom Oempany at Odessa has determined; to establish a regular line oFsteanienj between the s6uth'erri pbrjA of the Empire ahd the East, amthassantan agent to India for the purpose of . obtaining : statistical data as to the; quantity and quality of i the articles of commerce which it might be pro- ■: '’fitableto-ihiport into Russia- Telegraphiccoin-1 xnunicat-ion iH also to between -j the southern ports and Constantinople.

It has per- j suaded the Emir of Bokhara to send bis sou, j who is thirteen years eld, to the'Russian Uni versity at Warsaw; thus securing .a valuable hostage for the Emir’s future friendship, and at the same time gaining an opportunity' of filling the young prince’s mind with admira tion of the greatness: of Russia, and aeonvic-; tion of the hopelessness of resisting her. • the egyptias prince in oxtobd. The English journals of the 22d of October give further details of the arrival of Prince Hassan, of Egypt, in Oxford thus;, Prince Hassan, the second son of the Vice- Toy of Egypt, and suite, arrived here yester day from Claridge’s Hotel and proceeded-to Grandpont House, St. Aldates, which has been taken for his Royal Highness during his stay at Oxford. The Prince came in a very 'quiet way, and it was not until the evening, that it became known that Oxford < was again - honored by royalty, al-i though the arrival Of his’ Royal Highness had been daily expected. The Prince 1 this morning, according to etiquette, called on; the very reverend the Dean or Christ Church, j of which socieijr he has become amember, and will,at. once emer on the duties of college life. Jlr. G. S. Murray, late scholar of Wadham ; College, and now student of Christ Church,; has been appointed private tutor of his Royal; Highness. The lodgings selected for . the - Prince,' viz., Alderman Randall’s house on the' Isis, although beautifully situated for a sum mer residence, seems hardly suited for.the! winter, from tbe extreme coldness and miasma, j of the spot, and his Royal Highness’s advisers; would appear to have totally disregarded the: climate of Egypt iu making this selection of a* dwelling-house for the youthful Prince. In addition to the matriculation of Prince!

Church.; It should he stated that Prince Hassan has not! been in Oxford before, as suggested by- the 1 court intelligence of this morning, wherein it is stated that his Royal-Highness has resumed his studies at Christ Church. Religious Persecution of Satires. An English Catholic Paper gives the follow ing account of an incident which it states recently occurred at Canton. A native Christian woman, much respected by - the Christians, and even by the pagans who were acquainted with her, has devoted herself , for twenty years to rescuing and baptizing infants abandoned by their parents. At the begin ning of July she was arrested on the charge of practising sorcery upon young children, and of taking out their eyes, the marrow, of their bones, and even their souls, .with a view to the preparation of magical remedies. She was several times put to tho - question, and savagely beaten on the face with leathern straps to induce her to confess her guilt. In the midst of her tortures, however, she maintained the greatest courage and con stancy in confessingher.faith. She was con demned to death, and it was-feared that. the sentence would be Immediately executed. Upon this M. Gerardiri, the resident mission ary, succeeded in obtaining entrance to the prison, heard her confession and administered to her the Holy Viaticum; while the bishop, Mgr. Guillemin, left no means untried to obtain a respite. This was granted, and the Viceroy spread a report that the cause would be car ried by appeal to Pekin. But in the mean time the populace were excited to fresh vio lence, and the mandarins subjected the ac cused to fresh examinations, forcing her to re main for many hours kneeling upon iron chains. All ol a sudden, however, the vic tim of persecution was set at liberty and re ceived with public demonstrations of joy by the Christian part of the population. . When the Emperor Napoleon, after his re cent illness, rode out for the first time in the environs of Saint Cloud, a little boy came run ning up to his carriage, holding up in his hand a petition, which the Emperor’s Adjutant took from the little fellow and presented to His Majesty. It was the request of the boy’s mother, a poor widow, for the payment of a claim which the Minister of Finance had re jected for some informality. While the Em peror unfolded and read the petition, the little boy looked intently at him. Finally, the Em peror raided liis eyes, and the little boy ex claimed, “Will mother get that money ?” “My son,” replied tho Emperor, “tell your mother that I shall look into this matter. I cannot now say whether she will get the money.” “What!” cried the little boy, angrily,and with flashing eyes, “you had Emperor, you always make promises and never keep them !” So saying, he turned his hack on his Majesty, and. ran away. Americans have long quid fairly) enjoyed a reputation for ingenuity in all kinds of adver tising “dodges,” including nomenclature of a dazzling, not to say, perplexing, kind. Not many years ago there traveled through the country, from Dan to Beersheba, taking all the intervening towns on theroad, a combina tion troupe, comprising circus and menagerie, and it was called, by a happy stroke of genius, the“Hippozoonomadon,” if our memory serves us correctly. Then there came a group of clever acrobats, who not only stood upon nothing, hut threw flip-flaps upon it, and called tho wondrous process “Zampiltarostation,” em bodying in that word their idea of station in its highest sense. Sundry quack medicines have, also been forced into circulation by means of puzzling and unpronounceable no menclature, and there are here a few pilgrims, possessing a smattering of the dead languages, who eke out a precarious -existence by com pounding* such “jaw-breakers” for char latans Jin various branches. All that has yet been done in this' line, liowover, must shrivel to insignificance when compared with the latest effort of ; a horse-apothecary in London, who announces in the sporting papers that he is ready to supply applicants with any amount of “Nourasthenipponskeles terizo.” This articlo, .he says, is “for the strengthening of horses’ weak and sprained sinews and break-down of every description,” which,can hardly include, we should guess, the 'inevitable break-down of any person who might attempt te call for itby its name in full.—WoWd. .
