tFor The Press. ].., . 1 i . ■ THIS F©BE ST /CHIXiD. [From„the German of R. Muni,} In the forest-night there was I born, In woodland'darkness stood my cot, I lived secluded, and like forlorn,. - . •Tet never longed tor different lot. The tot dear Bound that thrilled me there Was the greenwood whisper, Bolt and mild; The forest sang to me an air Such as. a mother sings to her child. - I heard this song so strange and new, A cradled child with wonder rude, Till all Its sweetest meanings grew From out the darkness of its mood. And when at last with youth I stirred From my humble oot tho world to see s Only Nature I Baw, and heard The rushlng'song of the forest tree. The Forest’s words I understood : “Innocent ohlld, thou art weloome here; "Welcome unto this holy wood, In the evening palm, In the morning clear.” And more he Bald: “Child ! every child Longs for a gift from father-hand; So ohoose what in this woodland wild Thine innocent heart doth find moßt grand. l ’. I answered thus: “ Teach me to sing, • Like that which gently breathes through thee, When all the mountains are murmuring, And.musio swells from tree to tree,—. Which from the wild bird In the sun, Thrills with the sweet content It gives, And the. streamlet, aa it singoth on, . /Relates, unconscious that It lives.” So spake I,—and as It'ohances oft, The grand old tree-tops rustled and smiled; But there was wafted a whisper soft: “ So be It with thho, thou lovely child!" ■ - H. D. W. BBHGIOCS ISTWi;M«ENOE. The Philadelphia Noon Praybr Mbbting . At noon of the 23d of November, the friends of this Institution, known the worln over as the "Jayoo’s Ball,” or “Sansom-street” Prayer Meeting, met to celebrate its seventh anniversary. Its"; founders, in faith, inscribed upon Its early records, “ This meet ing Is a permanent institution.” ./Although it has lost Its early strength,and has been greatly n'egleot ed, and reduced in numbers at times to » mere handful of worshippers, there have not beeu want ing some to stand by It. to perpetuate Its namo and Its character as a “ sweet hour ot prayer.” "- Mr. George H. Stuart presided. He reoounted a "brief history of the meeting s its huiiihle origin; Its unprecedented growth, so mat la two days It had swelled from 200 to 300, to 2,c00 to 3 000, and some-, tlmes even to 6,000 earn* st, solemn worshippers ■, its. world-wide renown; its unlimited influence, vast as eternity itself'f through which hundreds and thou sands ol precious souls had been saved, wero all Gratefully alluded.to. The distractions of three and a half years of war were mentioned as having broken up many of the •daily prayer-meetings throughout the land, al though the large centres still had them; but there’ are as many prayer-meetings to-day, asserted"! the • speaker, as before the war. They are to be found In cur-armies and on shipboard, in our hospitals, and •camps, and ; trenches, within one hundred yards of ■the enemy’s pickets, even, and ■ there was in these /soldiers’ meetings as much of the spirit of prayer and of the power of piayef as the speaker had ever seen even in the great Jayne’s Hall meetings. - The Rev. Dr. Patter,-on, lately of Chicago, now serving the interests the Christian Commission, also called in review the former days. , . The Philadelphia Noonday Meeting Is now held - at the rooms of the YouDg Men’s Christian Asso ciation, 1009 and 1011 Chestnut .street. Business men and strangers visiting the city are especially invited. Christians will find It to be a profitable place to turn aside with God for sweet refreshment, and for etreng th for evrey-day duties. \ - Eefcsed.—A. deputation from: the Quakers of Engiandj -who eame to this country to attend the yearly meetings oi Friends' at BnUiraor e and North Carolina, were, upon application to the President, furnished with passes through our lines for that purpose, but were . refused admittance within, the yebei lines, and have consequently returned to Bal timore, / . Oil Flowing the Right Wat.— Mr. Charles .Arbuthnotj of the Fourth Church, Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, was presented, a few days since, by a stranger from “ Oil Creek,” with a $5OO United States treasury note, for the Egyptian Mission building fund of the United Presbyterian Church. Students.— The Union Theological‘Seminary of New York city, it is said, keeps up good numbers, notwithstanding the large tailing off In the aggre f;ate of those preparing tor the ministry in- the col eges throughout the country—a decline which is severely felt by otherjtheologlcal seminaries. It has about a hundred ■ students at present, and several more are expected... Over firty new students have •entered this fall, and the Junior Class numbers thirty-seven or thirty-eight. •■ ~ The Loss of a Communion Sbbvioe Supplied. The First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburg, Penn sylvania, says the ■ Repository, ha 3 presented the Presbyterian congregation of Ohambersburg with a, beautiful communion service, as a testimonial of Christian affeotlon and sympathy. The service be longing to the church there was'destroyed by the fire on the 30th of July." , ; Bequebts.— The will of the late Abraham Van "Nest, of New York, was admitted to probate ■ last week. He bequeathed $60,000 to each of- his chil dren, $6,C00 to each oi his grandchildren, $5OO to the General Synod of the Reformed Dutch Chut eh, $6OO to its Board of Domestic Missioas, $6OO to the American Bible Society, and $5OO to the American Colonization Society. • : Proposed Catholic . Collude at Oxford.— Although various statements have bean made by ■the preseta reference to the site of the old Oxford workhouse, we understand there la now no doubt of the use for which it is Intended, as Dr. Newinanhas become Its purchaser, and a Catholic college and es tablishment will be shortly erectod thereon. When the workhouse land was bought, a few weeks ago, "by the late Mr, Ambrose Smith, ltwasourrently.ru moiedlt was Intended .for. a Catholic college, bat such was not really the case at that time, al though the matter; was subsequently taken up by Influential parties, and negotiations have resulted in the site being transferred to Dr. Newman for £8,400, being' an advance of .£4OO upon the original purchase money. Dr. New man, who was formerly Fellow of Oriel College arid Tlcar of St. .Mary’s, Oxford, was closely Identified •with ‘ Tracts for the Times,” and was one of the •earliest “ perverts” of his party from the Chureh of [England, It is stated this eminent scholar will be at the head of affairs at Oxtord. The site of the old workhouse comprises upwardsof five acres, situated :ln a central and healthy part of Oxford, viz: be tween Walton place and St. Giles. Several Catho lics have been In residence at Oxford, and the son -of Mr. Sergeant Shoe has only this term commenced a course ot study at Christ Church. There are six -other Catholics also in residence at Oxford.— London, .Daily News. - ' ' , New Organ for Philadelphia Cathedral.— The • cathedral will soon be provided with a new organ,, which is to be built on the principle of the great instrument in the Boston Music Hall, it will be located over the great en-. -trance.. A small organ is .now temporarily deposited there, which Is to be removed to a wing qf the build ing near the gospel side of the altar, In order to ac • company the ordinary chants of the officiating •clercy. The style of the case, which will be thirty five by forty feet, will be Corinthian, to correspond •with the surrounding architecture. It will bo sur mounted by a central arch, which will so cover the .'light in Its rear as to .form a D window to harmo mize with . the others near the celling. The great •columns which rise from the interior will not he welled by the instrument. It will have all the mo dern improvements, and be so constructed as to •form a powerful plainjeau, in order to fill the whole ttemple with Its sounds. The cost of it will be about ' fiwenty thousand dollars. ■ • '• Resolutions of Respect The Chestnut-Hill .Baptist Church has pasted a series of resolutions complimentary to Rev. Wm. B. l’olan, their late pastor, who has resigned his charge. New Colobed Chubch at Hilton Head.— The colored Methodists of Hilton Head, under the pas toral charge of the Rev. James Lynch, have just : •completed a chinch capable of seating nearly lour hundred persons. It is a decent building,-with •quite an air of comfort and taste. • ~ The “Maryland Baptist Union Association,’ which is purely a home mission sooiety, numbers 34 •churches, with 4,281 members. Its income last year was $3,200, but such is the impulse already ielt from free institutions-that It is pro|)osesl to raise $lO,OOO for the coming year to occupy the opening opportu nities. During the year one church, the High-street, of Baltimore, has been entirely freed from debt, and two others, the Lee-street, Baltimore, and German- Town, Montgomery county, have dedicated new meeting-houses. - ,: .

The deceased was for several years stationed in this place. Thb Week of Peater.— The secretaries of the Evangelical Alliance have issued their invitation for the Week of Prayerin January next, requesting those who propose to unite in this popular concert -of supplication and praise to make arrangements for holding meetings in' their respective neighbor hoods. We quote from the circular: : « The time nas again arrived to invite Christians -Of all countries to make arrangements for observing •a week of speoial and united prjycr at the begin hing of the coming year. Few movements of the Church of Christ have been more'owned and honored of the Lord than these annual seasons of united supplications. The Evangelical Alliance, -therefore, feel imperatively urged to renew their Invitation, lit the hope of meeting a yet larger re sponse than informer years, and of obtaining still more abundant spiritual and temporal blessings,” The -time fixed for the week of prayer Is from January Ist to January Bth.

MISCELLANEOUS. goods ontiie pavements. Councils, some time ago, passed an ordinance pro hibiting the display of good B, wares, or-merohaudlse any description on the pavements or on the hduse fronts. At the meeting of Councils on Thursday -afternoon last, petitions for the repeal of the ordi nance, numerously-signed, were presented and re ferred to a special committee. It was a matter of wonder amongst many members that there should an ordinance which it was believed would meet the cordial approval of most storekeepers, as It would place them all upon an ■equal footing in respect to display, would entire- : ly prevent the numerous cases or larceny that daily ■occur from the loose manner in which many articles on display are allowed to remain irom morning till night upon the pavements, and would make many of the business streets of our city more attractive from the greater space allowed to pedestrians, and the consequent greater ease to purchasers in reach ing the establishments'at which they Intended to snake purchases.' It is to be hoped that this Im portant matter will be weii considered by the com mittee having it in charge, that both sides of the ■question will be fairly presented and acted upon. Those storekeepers who know the evils j resulting - from haying their goods exposed on the streets,in the shape of larcenies and damage from the weather, should be active in the matter if they wish to have this ordinance remain amongst the laws of our city. ANOTHEB SKATING POND. During the winter there will be three skating ■ponds in thlß oity, and, from present appearances, all will be well attended, a large tract of land, -comprising In all over six acres, has been tastefully fenced ln, aB a skating pond, ai the corner ef Fourth •and Diamond streets, which is accessible by three lines or passenger-railway cars, which will bring the ■skaters almost to the gate of the park. The bond ings upon the ground for the accommodation of those participating in the sport, as wen as for spec tators, are ample; nothing, it would] appear, las been left undone which would in any way eon tribute or add to the comfort of the visitor, and the .-advantages that this enjoys must be obvious to all. The park will be under the management of M. o. -Campbell, well known as a highly successful teacher •of the art of skating.

A little mulatto girl, named Henrietta Pugh, in the eleventh year of her age, was sent to the House of Refuge yesterday. The child Is bright-looking, obedient to her parents while they are present, and an apt scholar—much more so than Is usual among children of the same age. Still, she has a very strong desire to destroy everything that she can lay her hands upon, when left by herself, such as cut ting the carpets, 1 , cutting her father’s clothing, throwing things away into different places, and finally she amused herself by sticking pins and nee dles into the mouth of a little baby whenever a fa vorably opportunity offered; When charged with such bad conduct, she admitted all, and to oft-re peated Inquiries why she did so, sho would reply, “ 1 don’t know.” Several years since she evinced a very bad disposition, and was sent to the House of Refuge, where she behaved herself, in a very obedi ent manner,-and was regarded as one el the best behaved Inmates of the Institution. It being thought that she had reformed, the little girl was restored to her parents, but she soon relapsed into her old habits and became worse than ever. The parents were, present yesterday, and stated that they had tried everything in their power ,to break the bad habit of the child. - They had coaxed and used: the rod, and adopted other means of punishment, but all to no effect. The Recorder questioned the little girl: she re plied in the most artless manner, admitted all the charges, and said she did not know what made her do it. ' ' At the-earnest request of the parents the child was sent to the House of Refuge. [Before Sir. Alderman Welding.] ALLEGED HIGHWAY ROBBERY. John Davis, rtYm. 11. Patterson, and John H. Martin were arraigned yesterday on the charge of highway robbery- It seems from the evidence given in the case that on Thursday evening, while General William M. Reilly was walking along Chestnut street, in front of the PostUffice, he was suddenly seized by the hand, in a very familiar manner, by Martin, who expressed greajb delight at seeing him, “ I know yon,” said he, “ you are a merchant.” “You are mistaken,” replied the General, “lam not a merchant.” . ; -v “ Oh, yes yon are, I know you well.” Here he "shook the hand of General Reilly as familiarly as the clown In the eireus when ho recognizes Peter Jenkins. . . ~ The other two men closed arouna the General,' and while Mariin shook him by the hand the other two -i 1 went through him.” . The General finally freed himself from the annoy ance of the trio. He felt his, pockets; found his watch and pocket-book all safe. A number of valuable papers were taken from his coat pocket. General. Reilly hastened after the party and ar rested two of them. ' - . • A police officer arrested the third one. The bun dle of papers were found on the cover of an inlet at Sixth and Chestnut streets, where, one of the de fendants had thrown it, in the attempt, perhaps, to hide it in the sewer. On the person of Davis a six shooter was found, for .which ; he was held in addit tional tfkil to answer at court. The trio were com mitted to answer the charge of highway robbery. /SHOPLIFTER Mary Munin,qnlteaprepossesslng-looking young woman, who excited the sympathy of more than one person, was arraigned yesterday on the charge of shoplifting. The evidence developed the important fact that the delendant entered the store of- Mr. Pe leg Hall, near Arch and Eighth streets, and priced some goods. On retiring, storekeeper discover ed the end of alaee collar sticking outfrom beneath the lid of a basket that she carried. Upon arresting her, the basket was found to contain a paper of glass buttons that she had purloined from the coun ter. The accused had no explanation to make. She was committed. [Before Mr, Alderman Fateh cl. 3 ROBBERY. John Harley was committed yesteTday to answer the charge of entering the house ot Batrlck Dough erty, on the Gray’s Ferry road,: late on Thursday night, and stealing there!) om some cigars. ♦ THE COURTS.

The defendant was the route agent in charge of the mails between those two routes. The facts of the case were before reported. Alter ad dresses by defendant’s counsel, Messrs. John P. O’Neill and W. A. Husbands, and by United States District Attorneys Gilpin and Yalehtine, thoxase was given to the jury yesterday. After, being out a short time they came in with their - verdict of “guilty,” but recommended the prisoner strongly to the mercy of the court. At the request of the prisoner sentence was immediately Imposed/whteh'- was to tbe/effeet that he undergo imprisonment for ten years in the Eastern Penitentiary. This, It seems, Is the minimum punishment prescribed by law In such eases where the parties are convicted. The court then discharged the jurors until Mon day and adjourned. Court of Oyer and Terminer and Qriar ter Sessions—Judges Thompson and Indlow. The Commonwealth ex rel. Harris vs. Provost Marshal, Prink. In this case, whieh-has been here tofore noticed, the defendant having been arrested, on a charge of receiving goods knowing, them to have been stolon from the navy yard, was again up yesterday. Col. Frink made still another amended, return to tho writ of habeas corpus directed to him/ to the effect that the relator was not in bis custody at the time of the service of the writ, and had not beehlnhis custody since, but that previously he had turned over, the custody of the relator, by command of Major General Cadwalader, to Major .Eastman, at Port Mifflin. , : ■ Mr. F.

The oase of Edwin Walton for the murder of Ja cob M. Mayberry. Tho evidence Having beon con cluded, after speeches by counsel, the case was yes terday given ,to the jury under instructions of-the Court by Judge Thompson. The judge charged ge nerally that It was the duty of the defendant as an officer, in ah effort to preserve, the peace, to keep within the pale of the law, otherwise he Is not pro- i teoted. It was clear that no breach of the peace wag I committed In presenoe of,the officer. If'the gun ! had been, fired in presence "of the i officer he could ■ have arrested the parties. He only sent word to j them. The arrest of Mayberry was-not legal nn» ! der the circumstances. If the officer, having no ! right to arrest him, got into a personal altercation or quarrel with Mayberry, he still had *no right to : That was no breach of the peace; It : fr?? became a private altercation. If, instead of ( t’ Mayberry attacked the officer, and there was • beyond the mere words, then he would i right te arrest him. Mere words will not , jn^:lls '-- a^^ rreat ’ , and th e jury were to judge , was made, and, If so, was it justifiable., If, in taking a legal arrest, tbe officer used 52?-would be man- i slaughter, The arrest, ifthere was any, took place after tbe altercation. If the officer niade tbe arrest ' illegally, and, in enforcing it, killed Mayberry, he 1 was guilty of manslaughter. If, In turn, Mayborry became the attacking .party, and defendant’s life was endangered thereby, he would be justified In ' taking life. • ■ , , The jury retired, and up to the hour of adjourn xnent bad not agreed upon a veraiot.

The property of this Company is gituated on the Alls ghenyßlver, and embraced withina distance ofabout two-and- a-balf miles from tbe town of Franklin, Ve nango county, Penna., and upon the same side of said river. - It consists of the entire working interest, (which is one-half of the Oil produced, )jn a Lease and Oil - Well located on the well-known “ Hoover Farm,' * celebrated as among the flrsfand most productive Oil Territories, and known as the “HOOVER & MARSHALL WELL ” The lease is for Ten Rods square with a frontage of.a. like number of rods upon the River, giving room for two more wells, and has an nnexpired term of twenty seven years. Tnere is . also a first-class ten' horse Engine, Tubing, Tanks, and everything necessary to carry on succe>sful operations. The Well (which is a flowing and pumping one) has been in operation for three years, and, carelessly han dled, has produced regularly from 100 to 112 bbls. per .week (includingstoppage), at times. Flowing Eighteen Darrels per day,yielding, for.the woiklng interest of the Company about $30,000 annually. , The Oil Is supe rior, ..its lubricating qualities commanding for it $3 to' $5 per barrel more than'the oil from Oil- Creek. This well; rightly.handled and actively worked by the cele brated Patent. Air Pump, leaves hut little doubt of its being restored to its original production—from ® to ® barrels per day. ;■ ' J -: _ The other property of the Company consists in a va-, luable river tract of fifty acres la fee simple, adjoining the extreme borough line of Franklin, with a large boring surface facing the river, and also upon the creeks that run through the tract, thereby increasing boring Buriace. and enhancing greatly its value as oil terri tory. .in addition to this. It has, from its contiguity to the county town of one of ’the ihOßt flourishing and ra pidly .growing towns of the State, a large surface value. In iheproductof the wells of this region, there has over been a remarkable uniformity, which,'with the: late .valuable discovery of a iO-barrel well on the island' opposite the “Hoover Farm;’’ and the discovery of large and valuable producing wells all around the' Company s property, (see extract below,) stamps the region as one of the most valuable oil territories, .The Franklin- Citizen, in noticing the.new wells recently sttuck, says: “ One by Dale 6 Morrow, obOctober 12, on the Coch rane Farm, two miles below Franklin, which yielded 240 barrels at the first forty-eight hours! , pumping, is considered good far 100 barrels. John’ Lee has also ob tained a flowing well,on the Martin Farm, just above the Hoover, and nearly opposite the Cochrane, which flows over 60 harrels.per day. Also, Mr. Hubs, who ownsaleaseon the Smith Farm, who has been pump ing 4 barrels per day at 468 feet deep, sunk his well 424 feet, and. struck a well giving 40 barrels per day. All these strikes have'been within ten days, and the pros pect of a number more in a short time. ’ * : Fifteen .thousand shares have been set aside by the , Company for the purpose of boring three more wells This region, with Its oil wells so celebrated for their steadiness and durability, the great numbers of large flowing and pumping wells recently discovered, the superior quality of the oil as a lubricator,' and the high prices always so readily obtained, with;extraordinary shipping facilities, from the wells being located on the margin of the river, and only two-and-a-half miles from the raili oad, .unite to offer parties wishing to in vest in oil territory safely, inducements of the highest chaiacter.
