■ 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!"

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,

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. - ,: . ' "

ference, died at his residehee in Baltimore county,
on Friday evening, the '26th ult., afcor a' long and
protracted illness, in the seventy-first year of his
age. The deceased was for several years stationed

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

« 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. "We are.informed that the
to be brilliantly Illuminated at jilght by a
new process, a single burning casting a flood of light
over all paris, and upon every pleasant evening a
full brass bandjwlU enliven the scene by its musio.

[Before Mr. Recorder Ease.] -
SINGULAR CASE OF MONOMANIA.
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.

♦ THE COURTS.
United States District Court Judge
.Cadwalader.
The United States vs. Henry J. Smith. An in
dictment lor stealing letters from the United States,
mail, between Mauch Chunk and Jeansvllla, within
this State. 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. C. Brewster, for the relator, then present
ed to the court an application .for a writ of habeas
carpus, to be directed to ’Major Eastman, requiring
him to produce Harris in court.
• The application was granted, and tbe writ made
returnable forthwith.
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.

CAPITAL, $500,060; SHARES,®,OOO; PAB VALUE,SIO.
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.
