WE publish to-day a condensed report of
the proceedings of the late meeting of the
Dauphin County Sunday School Society, as
furnished by the Secretary.
"Tun weather still continues"—to be disa
greeable and exceedingly inclement. Rain
fell during the whole of yesterday afternoon
and last night. To-day is cold, stormy and
unpleasant.
WE learn that the soiree held last night, for
the benefit of the New Harrisburg Brass
Band" netted a handsome profit. We may
expect to see the band iu full blast at an early
day.

CONDUCTOR KILLED.—George D. Fray, a
freight conductor on the Pennsylvania Rail
road, was killed at Altoona on Sunday, by
being caught between two cars which he was
coupling. He lived but a short time after re
ceiving his injuries.

THE ACCIDENT ON THE LEBANON VALLEY
flur.noin.--We learn that of the three persons
injured by the accident on Saturday night,
only Cadow had a limb broken. Burch and
51'Coy sustained internal injuries. All three
are at one of the hotels in Reading.
THE MURDER AT THE ROADSIDE INN was wit
nessed by a large audience, at the Theatre,
last night. It is a thrilling play, yet entertain
ing and attractive. As it is to be repeated to
night, there will be a tremendous rush to the
hall. It will ba followed by MR. AND Mus.
PETER WHITE.
Oun streets have again disappeared beneath
a bed of mud. The clerk of the weather will
have to answer for the continuance of this
state of affairs, which is not agreeable to pe
destrians or drivers. Our country friends,
however, have greater cause for complaint, as
the "mud roads" are almost impassable for
either man or beast.
THAT DONATION VISIT.—We consider it only
necessary to remind our readers, and particu
larly the personal friends of Rev. J. Walker
Jackson, that this afternoon and evening were
fixed upon for the donation visit to which we
referred a few days since. We believe that
this affair will be the first of the kind ever at
tempted in this city; and when we consider
the high character and claims of the pastor
selected for this visit, we are justified. in an
ticipating a result at once worthy of his many
virtues and creditable to the large reputation
of the people of Harrisburg for liberality.—
It is not contemplated to confine the dona
tions proposed to be given to Rev. Jackson to
the members of his own immediate congrega
tion. He as earned the good will of all good
men, and" o such as these, without regard to
their creeds or sects, we commend him as
worthy of their largest bounty and the most
generous cheer.
A MISSING MINISTEP---The following which
appeared in Saturday's New York Tribune,
will be read with painful solicitude by many
persons In Pennsylvania, as Rev. Mr. Schoch,
the missing minister, is well known through
out the State:
THE Rev. JAS. L. Scrtocn, D. D., Pastor of
the Lutheran Church in Fifteenth street, left
his home on Saturday at 3 P. an, the 29th of
October, with the intention of going to New
Haven, Ct., since which time nothing has
been heard of him. His prolonged absence
and silence as to his whereabouts quite alarms
congregation and friends. He is about 45
years of age, medium build, dark complexion,
dark hair and eyes, forefinger on the right
hand stiff, and a fresh scar on the neck, from
wounds caused by having a tumor removed.
Any information would be gladly received by
his anxious friends, and may be sent to
Charles Knox, corner of Broadway and Ful-
Ng. street, and Ockershausen Bros., 21 Rose
street, New York.

Uu Complums.—The application of asso
ciated capital to the development of the vast
wealth of the Pennsylvania oil basins in Ve
nango and Greene counties, enables the com
munity at large to share in the profits of this
wonderful trade, without going to the oil re
gion in person to get lands and sink wells.
Where oil companies are under good manage•
ment this is all done, and well done, by the
responsible acting officers, for the common
benefit of all concerned; and a large or small
amount of money may be invested in any given
case, as each individual may think best.
It obviously requires four things to make a
good oil company: 1. Good oil lands; 2. Offi
ers and directors of known standing and re
spectability to manage its affairs; 3. Experi
enced and reliable superintendents and work
men on the ground; and 4. Sufficient working
capital to properly develope the lands, and
carry on the operations of the company.—
These requisites, we understand, are all fully
met by the companies represented by S. D.
Ingram, Esq,, of this city, to whose adver
tisement in another column our readers are
respectfully referred.
The oil business is only in
'ts infancy; yet,
during the past twelve months, the cash sales
of petroleum from Venango county ~alone,
amounted to twenty-three millions of,d'ollars,
or more than half the State debt of Penpsyl
vania! It supplies a universal want, 61 * can
only be limited by the teeming millions of
population in Europe, as well as in this coun
try,
and other parts of the globe. The de
mand 11
for our petroleum in Europe has in
creased
every year in almost geometrical pro
portion, and in the nature of the case must so
continue for many years to come, until the
equilibrium is established between demand
and supply.
It is therefore perfectly wise and prudent for
any person, man or woman, to invest at least
a portion of their spare funds in the stooks of
oil companies; taking care to deal with per
sons whom they know, and who will pilot
them in good faith; and also taking care to
buyinto several companies, instead of only
one, as it is not good policy, in any enterprise,
to put sue many eggs into one basket, ' and
it is a settled fact that the success of any one
company will pay for the failure, or only par
tial success, of any five.
We commend Mr. Lwank's advertisement
to the favorable consideration of our readers,

present. He informs the association that
there are in his hands $l5O towards the pay
ment of the County Missionary's salary. He
expresses the deepest interest in this meeting,
and invokes the Divine blessing upon its de

The Rev. J. W. Hassler, County Missionary,
presented an interesting and valuable report
of the condition of the Sunday School work
in the county.

The report was received—reterred to a com
mittee to draw out of it such topics as would
be of interest for discussion at the evening
session.
Mr. Coburn, of Bradford county, addressed
the convention. He gave an interesting ac
count of the Sunday School work in Bradford
county. He was followed by Mr. Barton, State
Superintendent of Missions. His remarks
were calculated to awaken a deep interest
in the Sunday School work.
The committee on topics presented the fOr
lowing :
1. Destitutions in the County—How shall they
bo met ?
2. Sunday School Papers--How shall a sup
ply be obtained for destitute schools?
3. Libraries—Their supply—Their compo
sition.
4. Sunday School Teachers' Meetillys—How
shall they be conducted?
5. Sunday Schools in the United States—Can
they be sustained in the country, and how ?
6. Bow shall parents be interested in the Sun
day School?
7. How shall we retain in our Sunday Schools
our older youths?
8. Spectacle Glasses.
The evening session, and the greater part
of the Tuesday morning session,
were occu
pied in the discussion of these topics. The
discussions were animated and were conduct
ed in a most excellent spirit. Much valuable
information bearing on the Sunday School
work was elicited, and the results of the con
vention will no doubt be seen in the improved
condition of our Sunday Schools in the future.
Resolutions were presented and adopted on
nearly all the topics. As the proceedings will
be printed in pamphlet form,' they will be
given then in full.
Rev. Mr. Robinson read a most interesting
and instructive letter from the late President
of the association, J. W. Weir, Esq., which was
ordered to be printed with the proceedings.
In reference to the labors of the County
Missionary, the following was adopted:
Resolved, That this convention heartily ap
proves the past labors of our County Sunday
School Missionary, Rev. J. W. Hassler, and
promises him all needful support and encour
agement in his future labors in the cause.
Towards the close of the second session, the
President of the association being obliged to
withdraw from the convention on account of
unavoidable engagements, J. Rife, Esq., was
called to the chair.
In reference to the colored population, to
whose wants the attention of the late execu
tive committee was directed, it was
Resolved, That their wants 'be supplied the
same as others.
It was resolved, That a special meeting of
this association be called to meet one half day
before the State convention at Harrisburg, the
coming spring.
2. That this association hold its next anni
versary at the same place with the Dauphin
County Bible Society, and that it meet one
day earlier than the latter society.
3. That Rev. Messrs. Johnson, Martz and
Barnhill constitute a Committee of Ways and
Means, to meet the expenditure for publish
ing the minutes in pamphlet form.
4. That an abstract of the proceedings of
this convention be published in the Harris
burg TELEGRATH. •
5. That the proceedings of this convention,
in connexion with the proceedings of last
year, be publishedlit pamphlet form.
6. That the thanks of the convention be
tendered to the citizens 'of Htunmelstown for
their kind and hospitable entertainment, and
the Speaker and Clerk for the faithful manner
in which they have discharged their respec
ive duties.
At noon, on Tuesday, the 10th inst., the
convention closed its delightful and most har
monious sessions. A new interest, it is be
lieved, has been awakened in the Sunday
School work, in Dauphin county. After
prayer by Mr. Barton, the convention ad
journed, C. J, EHREHART, Secretary,

THE OIL DISTEDOT OF WEST V/ROINIA,
In the midst of the excitement which has so
extensively prevailed in our State during the
last two or three years, relative to oil and oil
stocks, West Virginia has been comparatively
overlooked. However, the tide is now turn
ing in that direction, and the great advanta
ges there offered for remunerative investment
of capital, are beginning to be properly ap
preciated. Oil was first found on the Little
Kanawha river, in Wirt county, as early as
1790, and since 1861, when petroleum first
began to attract attention as an important a,r
ticle of commerce, it has been developed in
large quantities on Bull creek, Pleasants
county, Oil Spring run and Goose creek
Ritchie county, and on Burning Spring and
other streams in Wirt county. In the last
mentioned locality, extensive borings have
been made, and supplies of oil exceeding in
quantity and purity that of Venango county,
Pa., have been obtained. Prof. Andrews, an
eminent geologist who has spent much time
in examining these interesting localities, re
ported of the wells on Burning Spring RIM,
that "they have been unparalleled for the
quantity of oil produced. Many of them,
when first bored, poured out oil in torrents.
In many wells the oil is entirely free from
water, and may pass directly from the wells,
into barrels for shipment." But aside from.
the natural purity and value of the West Vir
ginia oil, the facility with which it is obtained,
affords additional inducement for investment.
On Oil creek. Pa., the fissures in which the
oil is found lie from 600 to 800 feet below the
surface, while on Oil run and Burning Spring
run they are generally reached at from 100 to
250 feet. On Oil run there are 14 wells pre
diming a very superior quality of lubricating
oil, which average but 100 feet in depth and
are pumped with facility by one engine, while
on Burning Spring the wells are rarely over
'250 feet deep. In addition to all these advan
tages the facilities for transportation are un
surpassed. The Parkersburg Branch of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad passes directly
through the oil district, and affords communi-
cation both East and West. We have called the
attention of our readers to this matter, inas
much as there are several oil companies rep
resented here, whose territory lies for the
most part in West Virginia. We, of course,
allude to the Burning Spring and Rathbone
companies, which are already well known in
oar city, and deserve especial attention, con
trolling, as they do, a large extent of territory
in this interesting locality.
I=l
FASHION, BEAUTY AND DUII.ARILITY. —While
we could not advocate a blind adherence to
fashion, we also deprecate a studied intention
of oddity in dress. Beauty, we fancy, consists
in the selection of colors that Harmonize with
the complexion and blend with the style of
the wearer. Durability is a principle in the
school of economy, that is a faithful study in
in these times of high prices. All these ad
vantages in dross goods can be obtained at the
cheap dry goods store of C. L. Bowman, No.
1, corner of Front and Market streets, Harris
burg, Pa.

LIGHT, MORE Lrowr.—These were the last
words of Goethe; but wonderful indeed have
been the inventions to create artificial light
since the death of the great. German Poet.
The oil lamp,und the tallow candle have ,van
istied, and the brilliant and beautiful gas
flame has taken their place. Again we have
the calcium light, whose power is equal to 200
solar lamps. Wonderful indeed are the in
ventions of mankind. Every day brings some
thing new. Thelatest of all is the new arrival
of dry goods at R. .Lowenstein's, Walnut
street, next to Fourth. He will sell you cali
cos at 25 and 20 cents; beautiful muslin at 30
cents; ladies' stockings 35 cents; nubias $1 00;
plaid dress goods 60 cents, with a large assort
ment of hoseries, gloves, woolen goods of all
descriptions, cloth coats and circuhirs of his
own make, and everything in the dry goods
line at 25 per cent. cheaper than any other store
in town; which we are able to do on account
of our cheaper rent and smaller expenses.

Harrisburg Gas Works.
HARRISBURG, Nov. 12, 1804.
ANDON after the first day of December
this company will be under the necessity of increas
ing the price of Gus to $3 50 per 1,000 cubic feet. There
are many reasons which.compel this company to make
the increase; and in order to inform the public of the
cause which compels them to do so, we beg leave to men
tion the following facts, viz:
Coal, the article most extensively used for the manufac
ture of Gas, was formerly purchased for $3 85 per ton
now the same article costs $9 45 . Lime, another item, was
formerly purchased at 9 cents per bushel; now we pay 20
cents.
Retorts and other castings extensively used were for
merly purchased at 2,K cents per pound; now we pay 6
cents.
Pipe of every description has increased in price more
than one hundred per cent.
Fire brick, meters, rosin, &c., have advanced illUle than
two hundred per cent,
Labor and everything connected with the manufacture
of Gas has increased more than one hundred per cent.,
and the company is therefore reluctantly compelled to add
50 cents to the price of Gas per 1,000 cubic feet, on and,
after the above mentioned day. In addition to the above
enormous increase of materials and labor, the company
pays a tax of 20 emirs on every 1,000 feet of Gas manu
factured, to the United States Goverrunent, in addition to
the, usual license. The last Legislature has also laid a tax
of TERSE PER CENT. in addition to the taxes heretofore paid
on capital stock and dividends. llusse increased taxations
alone amount to more than one half of the increase per
1,000 feet. WIS. DOCK, President.
