A SURPRISE. —On Friday evening last, as
Rev. D. A. L. Laverty, of the Bethel, was
comfortably seated at home, reading the news,
he was surprised to receive a call from the
members of his congregation, who took tem
porary possession of the house. In due
course of time a purse well filled with green
backs, and a large number of acceptable arti
cles useful in a family, were presented to Rev.
L. Rev. C. 11. Forney tendered them, in a
few very appropriate and eloquent remarks,
on behalf of the donors. Upon recovering
from his surprise, Mr. Laverty accepted the
gifts, returning thanks for the same, and in a
neat address acknowledged the kindness of
the congregation in thus remembering their
pastor.
Mr. Laverty has proven himself a faithful
laborer in the cause of his Master, and his ef
forts to promote the interests of the Church
have been crowned with abundant success.
TERRIFIC EXPLOSION OF AN OIL WELL.—The
Pittsburg Gazette gives the following account
of a tremendous flow of oil and a subsequent
explosion, which occurred at a 'well upon
a farm of Mr. Jacob Crow, on George's Creek,
in Fayette county:
When the augur had descended to the
depth of about three hundred and twenty-five
feet, large quantities of gas and oil began to
issue from the mouth of the well, which in
creased so rapidly that the surroundings of
the well were soon drenched and covered with
the greasy fluid. The flow inereased in force,
throwing up the oil higher and higher. Mr.
Crow, who was present, fearing an accident
from the vicinity of a stove to the derrick,
hurried every one away who gathered to see
the sight, and not one minute too soon, for
the gaS and oil igniting by the fire in the
stove, exploded with a most terrific noise,
throwing the flames over sixty feet high and
scattering the flaming oil in every direction,
and setting fire to the derrick, engine house,
la. Mr. Crow had a narrow escape, being
yet in the engine house when the explosion
took place. So the question - of oil in large
quantities in that section has been definitely
settled by the most wonderful strike. Mr.
Crow, who is now in the city, has verified the
above facts over his own signature. The well
above mentioned is variously estimated at
from three to five hundred barrels per day.
A. number of other wells are being bored on
the creek with the finest show of oil. Fay
ette county promises to be one of the most
proemotive oil °mattes in the state.

A Nl' RAILROAD THRODOR YORE COUNTY--
We learn from the rue Democrat that there
was considerable excitement created in the
lower townships of York county, a few days
ago, in consequence of the appearance of a
party of engineers, &c., in their midst. sur
veying, or running out, a route for a railroad
from the city of New York to Washington city,
as direct, or as near an air line as the surface
of the country will admit. The route enters
York county at Wrightsville, and proceeds in
a southerly direction, passing through Wind
sor, York and Hopewell townships, immedi
ately through Winterstown, in Hopewell,
thence through Shrewsberry township to the
Maryland line, entering that State between

O.A. BANwvanx—Dear Sir: I have used Brown's
Bronchial Troches, Wistar's Lozenges, and
other preparations for hoarseness and throat
troubles, and, in comparison with them all,
can cheerfully commend your own as a most
admirable specific for. public speakers• and
singers, in cases of hoarseness, coughs and
colds. I have. found them serving in time of
need, most effectually.
Yours truly, T. IL ROBINSON,

I agree with Mr. Robinson as to the
value of Bannvart's Troches.

To C. A. Betinvairr--Dear Sir: In the habit
of speaking very frequently, and in places
where the vocal organs are very much taxed,
I have found the need of some gentle expec
torant, and that want has been supplied in
your excellent Troches.
I consider them very far superior to any
Lozenges that I have ever used, in removing
speedily that huskiness of the voice arising
from its too frequent use, and impairing the
effectiveness of the delivery - bf nnbuo ..aarco

in recommending them to all persons afflicted
with sore throat or huskiness of voice, arising
from public speaking or singing.
