From J. B. Upplncott & 00. we Rave a handsome
volume entitled “Autumn Leavugi” by'iamuel Jaok.
aon Gardner, published by Hurd fctHougWbnj New
York,And printed at the far-famed itiversido Press.
The, contents’ are varied, and consist', ol prose
. essays, upon a variety of topics, with! a sprinkling
Of original poetry. Dr. Gardner writes English ad
-9&WT-1 tatjjrtag the exact meaning olithe words
he OSes, he la, always lucid In expression,’saying
precisely what he Intends to say. There Is a subdued
humor, also, In many of these essays, which are
generally brief, terse, and racy. He invests ordi
nary subjects with grace, and the traces of a reflec
tive mind are visible all through.: Hla prose, to our
taste, Is better than his poetry. In the lines upon
Boston he commences a veTse,
“ Bo rracofally she sits
Upon her gentle heights, ’'
and thereby violates the law that rhymes must
agree In sound, which sirs and heights never did and
never oan. In the remarks entitled “ JBxaggeratlon
in donversatlon,”.Dr. Gardner properly censures
ar habit that many persons have {lt Is more espe
cially an English abuse), of interlarding their
talk with current'cant phrases, and says, “One
of: these has made a large part of some pao
' pie’s talk for several years past; It Is the phrase
you know.’ A gentleman of thlssohool addressed
us the other day somewhat as follows: ‘On my ar
rival at Washington, you know, 1 was sent for by the'
. President, you know, who to see mo off a
matter of importance. I did not suppose I should'
see Mias Lane, you mow, but I was shown,-you
A-«otc, by express command of the President, Into
the drawing-room where she was. , I found her as
oharming In conversation, yon know, as she was
fascinating in person,’ &o. Now I did not know
any or these things, and, what is more, I did not
believe them j but such poor gabble as this prevails
extensively.” Our readers may take our word for
it that I>r. Gardner’s “Autumn Loaves’’ are a
good deal above the ordinary level of essay! writing.
, The December number ol the Journal of the frank
lin Institute, closing the 7Sth volume, copies frdm the

’Association, and written by Zorah Colburn—son,

Boiler Invented and manufactured by Mr. Joseph
Harrison, Jun. It Is made of oast Iron, has been

TEE BSATE.
Bxpiosion of Powder Mills nkar Scranton;
—About 2 o’clock F, M., on lhursdayiast, the boss
house belonging to the powder works of W,. G.
Baynes-Koon, Spring Brook, ’ blow up with a most
teirlflo explesion. The shook was vary severely felt
In Scranton, a distance ol six miles. It was heard
at Archbald, a distance of fourteen miles off, as
well as every other place wlchln a circle of from feu
to tttteen miles. Three lights of glass were broken '
in the Lackawanna depot, more than a mile
off. ? The quantity of powder exploded was thought
to be about four tons. The explosion was caused
by#the breaking of a: cog-wheel that drove
the machinery; of the press. It was heard to
click throe times by some girls who were about
twenty rods off when the explosion took place. One
man by the name of Baker was In the house at the
time, and was blown up a great distance; falling
alongside of another building some twenty rods off
—dead' Another man, the engineer, was badly
burned, but will recover. A' stick of Umber, about
sixteen feet long, waß Mown high Into the air, and
coming down endwise; penetrated into the frozen
earth about four feet, a bar of round iron was
thrown up so high that in-Its fall it hurled Itself
entlrelyln the earth, hard as It was frozen attha
time. All of the other buildings of the works
were more or lees injured, Borne of them very seri
ously. The total damage is estimated at about
$4,000.' -
' A Q.ra»E Cask,—The substance of the subjoined
item cameto our ears some weeks since, and has
been noticed In a few of our exchanges,. but being
unable to'obtain satisfaction as to the reality of the
ogse, we declined publishing anything in relation
fo U. Shying recently, however, received a history
of the ease, we give it place. It appears that with
one of the companies organized in this place (for
nine-months’ setvice), in the summer of 1862, went
a main who left a wife and small family. On
the blooey field of Antlotain ho fell, was
burled,‘and his wife afterwards had his body
disinterred, brought home, and re-Interred In
the soldiers’ lot In the cemetery. A year
afterward she married again, and in due time a
child was born, the fruit of the second marriage.
When the oall for 800.000 was bslng filled uo, last
fall, the second husband enlisted, and Is now in the
army. A-short time since the first husband return
- ed, alive' and well, having bean taken prisoner at
Antlatam instead of being killed.* He had been
held.by the rebels until the late exchange at Sa
vannah. Of course the parties are in a queer fix;
but all will agree that, the (soldier who was oeca
killed, twice burled, starved two years in rebel pri
sons, andyet came home alive, is certainly entitled
to his wife. “Truth is stranger than fiction.” The
query,is, “Who was-buried In the cemetery!”—•

Iron-clad Sandusky, wnlch has been la; course of

on; Wednesday afternoon from the shipyard of Tom

Pittsburg. The -Sandusky is one hundred and se
venty-two feet long, fifty feet breadth of beam, and,
as she Sits In the water, draws about three feet for
ward and four aft. At twenty minutes to 2, every
thing being in readiness, the bonds which held the
vessel on the ways were severed, and she sped like
an arrow into .the element she was destined for.
She ran across the* river nearly to the opposite
bank before her bow was turned downward, and
rode the water beautifully. The launch was a per
fect success, and the boat, so far, Is also deemeu a
triumph of Pittsburg mechanical skill, '

CHAPEL-FOR THE OUY-LER HOSPITAL.
An appeal to the churches and to the Christian
community generally has been made for aid In the
erection and furnishing of a ohapel for the use of
the sick and wounded soldiers quartered at the Cuy
ler Hospital.> It Is proposed' to use the building for
library and reading-room purposes, as well as for
religious exercises. The apartmonts formerly - oc
copied for these purposes have been taken for beds
ana, other uses. The dining-hall,, being the only
available place, has been used for the purpose.
The accommodations consist of bare benches.with
out hacks, and are of course unfit for men suffering
from sloSness and wounds. The hospital accom
modates from seven hundred to eight hundred
men, - and has been well filled during the past year.
The men appreciate an effort that Is made for' their
; comfort, and we should not: be slow In doing some
thing for these men that have done and suffered so
much for us. It Is estimated that $6OO will defray
all the expenses of the chapel and /necessary fur
niture. -

AN INTERESTING DECISION.
In the case of the prize-steamer Lillian, -Prize
Commissioner Flanders has reported in favor
of the claim pot In by the officers and
-crew of the Massachusetts. -An attempt was
made to ,rule them out on the ground that the
Massachusetts was not iti signaling distance when
the capture was made. The decision of the prize
commissioner Is baaed on the fact clearly established
that the Massachusetts was .engaged in the ohasß of
the Lillian. The officers and crew of the Massa-
clrasetts will Bhare In the distribution of*the prize
<money, and, as the amount involved is large, the
' decision is an interesting one to parties concerned.
MISCELLANEOUS. ■
SUBSTITUTE BROKERAGE.
. The filling up of quotas under the calls of the
PreßWentvhnd the avoidance of the draft, has given
rise to the business of substitute 1 brokerage. This
business, if properly conducted, would be morally
right, and .would be beneficial to our city and to
our country at large; but so many abuses of so
flagrant a obaractor, amounting really to crimes,'
have conle to light, in which men in this capacity
were the ringleaders, that it becomes a question of'
interest to all or our, citizens whether something
could not be done to correct these abuses. '
The crimes that substitute brokers commit are
two-fold: against the -State and against the indivi
duals. They swindle the State out of men by en
listlDg well-known bousty.jumpers, with the ex*
peotation that they will desert, and they swindle In
dividuals by nutting money Intended for them into
their own pockets.
P™P°'B« d that our City Councils authorize
the Mayor to give license to patties desirous ofi
onteiing.tho substitute business For the purposes
of preyenting such licenses from falling Into im=
proper handß, and of increasing the revenue 0 r the
city, this sum should he fixed at say si,oqo, : This
would very materially decrease the number oriand.
Sharks who have heretofore’ done their business in
the street, and are altogether and at all times and
places irresponsible’, and would tend to place the
business in the hands Of men of character and stand
ing In the community, who at.least have a' “local
habitation and a name.”
Tha applls&Bt ihs&ld USo he required to giva
bond in, say 15,000, conditioned for their good beha
vior while acting as substitutes. Oaaeffeot of such
alaw would bo to.prevent recruiting agents:from
other districts from enlisting men in this city to be
credited elsewhere. There should be authority
given to the Mayor to suspend or annul the commis
sion upon the practice of any frauds upon the oltyi
upon recruits, ox upon principals buying substi
tutes; and a penalty for violation of the law, by
means of fine and Imprisonment, be imposed, and
■requiring restitution of money fraudulently retained
to the party defrauded.
By the enforcement of such;a law, the number or
substitute brokers would be limited; and they would
. be compelled to do justice to all parties with whom
they have any business transactions, As the busi
ness of' substitute brokerage Is now' conducted,
fraud and dishonesty is the rule, and fair dealing
the exception.' Oould not our City Councils do
something to remedy these evils 1 >

. . SERIOUS OHAESK. '
The court resumed the consideration of a case in
which William .Tamos, a grocer, residing near the
Columbia bridge, was charged with; Committing an
assaultand battery and an Indecent assault upon
Miss Hannah Barker, who resides in Edgoly lane,
one-fourth ofa mile firom the Bldge road, i
Daniel Dougherty, Esq., appeared for Miss Bar
ker, and David Paul Brown,, Etq,, for Mr; James;
The evidence of Miss Barker was that Mr. James
had visited her house two or three time, and on the
13th October he came there and found her engaged;
in washing; after some partleß,' among whom was
an artist, who frequently engaged la'sketohlng
near her house, had gone from there, Mr. Jamos
went’ Into tho house and asked her; about
some pictures which hung upon the walls. - He re
quested her to come in the house, saying he had
something important to communicate to her! Upon
her entering ho had her chamber door open, and
she told him he .had a thundering hard cheek; .he
; dragged her In, and then the indecent assault was
made, which was effectually resistedby her, after a
severe struggle, in which .her back- and arm were
Injured. . . ; ~ i .
The witness underwent a lengthy cross-examina
tion, in which her age was asked. Her reply was,
“ I am over twenty-two.” Mr. Brown was not satis
fied with tblß answer, and required a direct answer
to his question. She then replied:that she was,
twenty-six years of ago, "She endeavored to cry out
for help to~ her brother in the barn, or her sister,
who was at her own residence, when the assault
was being madeyhut was prevented by the defend
ant placing his mouth over hers; and to her becoming.
so weak, in consequence of tho resistance she made',
as not to be able to speak above a whisper. Her
back and left wrist were Injured during the strug
gle. She told her ;slstor In the morning of the oc
currence j that she had been insulted by the de
fendant, but did not tell her all tho circumstances
until' the next day. After the occurrence defendant
said he was coming the next night, but she said she
had an engagement at Mr. Gray’s, and did not want
the company of defendant tho next -night, or at any
other time. The sister.of witness lives at a house
on the same farm, and about a square distant. The
bam is situated about the same distance from tho
house ofthe prosecutrix;
Mi. I'onnlmore, the artist, testified that after
hearing of the circumstances from Mies Barker, he
met Mr. James at the house of a Mr. Kotos, and pro
posed, to him to settle the case for the sum of $1.0005
this sum was suggested, by a friend of the Barker
family; Mr. Jamos refused to give such an amount,;
saying he supposed that tho girl wanted to strut
about in silks; lie would, however, pay the lawyer’s
fees, and, perhaps, a little more, ..
Dr. Chas. P. Turner testified to having seen Miss:
Barker about five weeks after the occurrence, and'
to examining her back, of which’sbe complained ;
the mnEcles were rigid, but there was ho "discolora
tion of tbo skin; did not. see anything the matter
with her wrist, although she complained of It.
The Bister of Miss Barker and a boy named Stin
son testified to'seeing her shortly after the alleged
assault, and that she was very pale and much
worried..
The defence called a number of witnesses, among
whom was Mr. Korns, who said that Miss Barker
told him of the occurrence, and said Bhe told d&
fendant there was her sister Lib coming, and what
would she think of seeing, them In the oh amber TAt
the meeting held at Ms house between himself, Mr.
Eennlmore, and Mr. James, tho latter said that he
would not give one thousand Cents to settle the ease,
witness considered Mr. James a modelfman, boar
leg a high character.
The boy, Stinson, testified to going to the store
of defendant tbe day’.after the occurrence, being
sent there by Mr. Barker, the father of Miss Barker.
The latter objected to Ms going, but the father said
he was boss, and the boy should go. .
Mr. Kama and Mr. Holtzman testified to having
heard the boy Stinson say that Hannah Barker, the
prosecutrix, sent Mm to the store of defendant, the
next day after the alleged assault, to purchase
things. The boy said Hannah asked hot sister Lib
if the boy should go to the store, and the sister said
“ Yes, there is no harm In It.”'
The daughter of defendant testified that she was
present when the boy came to the ' store. Her aunt
.asked her if the Barkers got 'trust- there, and she
replied In the negative; The boy then said that Mr.
James had been down to Barker’s on Thursday, and
agreed that they should have, trust; The articles'
were .then given and charged to Hannah Barker,
The aunt of the girl corroborated hor evidence,
and said the defendant had been a widower a year.
■Edward .Wilde testified to having heard Miss
Barker on several occasions invite Mr. James to her
house. •
Miss Barker was recalled by the prosecution, and
testified that she might have been at Mr, James’
store five times In three years. She never at any
time sent to Ms store for groceries, nor was there
any arrangement made between her and Mr; James
at any .time by which she could get groceries on
credit. ■-
The boy Stinson was recalled, anditestlfied that
Mr. James told him that if he would come to court
and sav that Hannah Barker sent him for the gro
ceries he .would make Mm a present. Witness said
he could not say that, when defendant said no one
would know about It, as it was between himself and
Mr. Holtzman only, who was with James at the
time.* -
Mr. Holteman jyas recalled by defence, and de
nied that such conversation took place. :
Mr. Barker, the father' of Mlbs Barker, testified
that he always sent for groceries when they were
wanted..
■ - A number of witnesses gave the defendant an ex
cellent character for morality.' ■
Without concluding the case the court adjourned
until this morning at 10 o’clock.
A JOKE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE MAYOR.
There is a police officer, and W 8 may say a good
one, attached to the force, who does not know the
Mayor, having seen him only onoe during the past
five or six years. Yesterday the officer was at his
station, at Second and Arch streets. A well-dressed
gentleman stepped up to him and sold:
“Sir, can you Inform me where I can find a police
officer!”, , . , ; v : ,
“I am one,” replied the accosted Individual, at
the same time more fully exhibiting his badge of au
thority,- -
“ Well, sir, why don’t* you report that pile of
ashes, so that it may be removed 1” inquired the
gentleman, as he pointed out a pretty large colleo
tlon of the obstructing material.
“Why not report It!” rejoined the official;
“because, sir, a person has been delegated by the
Mayor to attend to that very business.”
The strange gentleman was soon lost In the busy
throng. He, had not gone far before a oitizen, step
ping' up to the officer, asked him what the Mayor
wanted. .. ; *,
The officer was struck rather dumb with astonish
ment upon being assured that the strange gentle
man was no less an individual than Mayor Henry
himself. - . <

FRAUDULENT TRANSFER OF OIL STOCK.
A man named J. M. Conhlmer, professing to be a
lawyer, was arraigned on Wednesday evening, bn
the charge of larceny of a certificate of stock In an
oil company, and also forging the name of Wm.
MoHnlght. The accused was held to ball in the
sum of $l,OOO, to await a further hearing, as ’the ne
cessary witnesses were not present at the time ofhis
arrest. All the parties were present at the time
fixed for the hearing except the defendant. -The
bail, or course, was forfeited. The points la this
case are as follows: Mr. McKnlght,' a very re
spectable business man, met the defendant a few
days since,-and handed him a: certificate of stock,
which defendant thought he could sell for $250 to a
man then In Bergner's saloon.. Nothing was
SBenof the fellow ; an d next day, Mr. McKnlght
wishing to have the’ stock transferred on
the hooks of the office, proceeded to that
place to have; the ‘ transfer made. He : was
surprised to learn that it had already been
transferred on the day previous. The very certifi
cate he had given to Conhlmer was exhibited. It
was endorsed as authorizing the transfer, to which
the name of MeKsJjbt was affixed: Tins was p»-
BsubJod a forgery, ana upon this charge Oonhimer
was taken Into custody.. z . *;, - •■■: .
The escaped defendant Is a Jew, and has been In
the habit of acting as a sort of pettifogger In petty
casts that frequently occur amoni? the lower order
of the German population. He talks German very
fluently, but he has never been admitted to practice
at the bar. After defendant had made the transfer
and received the sum of $205 for the stock, the
broker, upon looking at the signature, said that de
iendant was “ the first Jew he had ever seen having
a Me to his name.” ' 8

celebrated Jersey Well, on the Hyde aod Egbert Farm,
on OH Creek, with the acre of land on which the well is
located.. This well has been flowing since early in
May, 38M, at the rateof about three hundred and fifty
barrels daily, aifd is now flowing at that rate, thus
yielding to the Company between fifty and sixty barrels
daily, wortn, at present prices, twenty thousand dol- s
Jars per month, which will pay to the Stockholders in
this Company
' MORE THAJSF THEBE PER CERT, PER MONTH
from the start. There is room on the land for several
more wells, two of which will be immediately com
menced by'the Company, and in which we shall have
the same interest as in the Jersey .The character of this'
property, as oil land, is well Snown; it is only necessa
ry to say that no well.on it has ever failed In getting oil,
while it has already produced the Maple bhaae, the Co
anette, and the Jersey. -
■ go. 2. Twenty* five acres In feeontbeeaat side of the
Allegheny; River, opposite the month of Big Sandy,
inis tract has about forty rods front on the river, and
contains a large emount of boring surface; Oil wells
yielding largely are found near this property; among
them the Hpbbsj tbe Hoover, &o. The Company intend
to proceed at once to develop this fine property, and feel
sac gume of success- ‘ -

Kos. 4, 5, 6 t 7 and 8-are also leases on Slippery Rock
Eun, containing four hundred acres In all. They*, were
obtained in Apjii, 1F64, by Dr. Egbert, and continne
for fifteen years from their date. TPhey secure to the
all the oil and other minerals contained in the
several tracts, with, the right to divide and sublet, with
all other rights and privileges connected with the busi
ness of mining for oil, coal, and other minerals, and re
serve a-royalty; of only one-eighth of said oil or
minerals. .
The felippery Koch Territory ia a new and only par*
Hally developed oil region; but the success already ob
tained there and on the Mahoning River, a few miles
west, together with the large quantities of oil found
north, south, east, and west ofit, lead us to hope that
it win prove a successful oit region. *.
The Company have already an excellent engine.tools,
and all necessary fixtures bn the grounds, with a well
partly down, and will proceed to develop the property
as fast as posslble.-
These lands and leases were all selected for oil pur
poses by Ills President of this Company, whose gre*t
success in the oil business, sterling integrity, and force
of character are too well known to require comment

The property of this Company consists of the well
known Martin or Standing Stone tract, and contains
from 2,600 to B,CCO acres of land;• in fee simple, free from
leases, undivided Interests, or royalty. Standing Stone
Creek (a branch of tbe Little Kanawha river), and Its
tributaries pass through this property, and It has upon
It a larger amount of boring territory than is owned by
any other company in West Virginia. It Is situated in
Wirt county, near the celebrated Rathbone or Burning
Spring tract, and in extent of. territory Is five times
greater, and is considered by all experienced oil men
familiar with the oil district of West Virginia quite
equal, if not superior, to the Rathbone-tract.., The
Standing Stone oil Company's property extends.from
the. Little Kanawhariver, near Burning Spring Run,
across the wateraof Standing Stone Creek, Including a
portion of Robinson’s Fork and Two Riffle Run, and Is
icunidiately In .the Great Oil Break, extending from
Burning Spring through by Standing Stone and Petro
lenm to Horse Beck Wells, near the Ohio river; and
embraces the line of upheaval. -
z The property of this Company has not been developed
for ihe reason that it belonged to minor,heirs, who
conid not convey until they attained their majority,
which the youngest did a few.daya ago.
: Wells are being bored on the.adjoining lands, and oil

was first discovered in 1790. z
On the Devers Farm, adjoining, a well Is being bored
and oil obtained. The well of McFarland A Jones, 0*

The property of the Company, coMieting of two sepa
rata tracts containing 31S acres in fee simple,. is located
in Athens county; Ohio, about two miles and a h*lf.from
the town of Athens
TRACT No: 1, containing 200 acres, consist l ! mainly
of bottom Land, with a frontage of three-quarters of a
mile upon the Hocking river and canal, presenting an
almost unlimited space of the finest boring surface.
This tract is located in one of the best oil-producing
districts in the State; and parties who have developed
lands in the vicinity have, in almost every.lnstance,
succeeded in procuring the finest quality of Lubricating
Oil, worth from $25 to 530 per barrel, at the depth of
one or lwo hundred feet. This property abounds in oil
springs and other positive indications of the richest de
posits of Petroleum; On the adjoining lands, within a
te w, yards of this tract, a number or wells have beau
sunk, some within a few weeks past, which are yield
ing oil in large quantities
Aportionof this tract,is rich farming laud, which,
with tie improvements, consisting of a double brown
stone,mansion,barns,and other necessary buildings, -
will yield a handsome rental to the Company. ~
TBACT Mo. 2 contains 115 acres, and, although un
connected with. Tract ,;No. 1, is located about the same
distance from the.towh of Athens (2H miles). This pro
perty bears the most positive evidences of being exceed
ingly rich oil territory, and presents the same features
in its on springs, &c.. as No. 1. Amid the ravines, and
upon the streams which flow through it, are found the
finest sites for boring purposes that could he desired.
This tract, apart from its rich deposits of oil and large
surface of boring territory, contains immense beds of
COAL, which can be mined and shipped with compara
tively little expense. Large collieries are In active ope
ration on the adjoining pioperty. The Marietta and
Cincinnati Railroad passes directly through this pro
perty, while Tract No. 1 fronts upon the canal, thus
greatly enhancing their value in the facilities presented
lor transportation.
The Company own no uncertain i interests or tempo-’
raryleases.bat offer to stockholders .315 acres in fee
simple, ofthe richest Oil and Coal lands, located In a
section of country regarded bp eminent geologists as the
