Important to Postmasters. Recently

.. . country Postmasters have got into the
' bit of throwing their letters loosely into
' ie rmils, occasioning much embarrassment
il inconvenience to the service. The De
i trtnient, to remedy the evil, has rescinded
' e order, except as to offices directly serve 1

Kaktiiai s and Saj.t-Lick Oil Compa
ny. We learn with pleasure, that our
neighbors of Centre county have formed a
company to develop the Oil Territory of the
Karthaus and Salt-Lick region, under the
title of the "Karthaus and Salt-Lick Oil
Company." We also understand that the
company has leases for about 3,000 acres of
land, embracing the celebrated Salt-Lick
property, with a river front of over six
milcsJif This territory has surface indica
tions of oil of the most promising character ;
and in view of the recent "strike" on the
headwaters of Clearfield creek, and the fact
thnt-the salt iccl's, bored some years since on
the Salt-Lick property, were abandoned on
acc mnt of the existing bitumen, the compa
ny confidently expect, at an early day, to de
velop the oily treasure in quantities rivaling
the great Venango basing An excellent 15
horse-power engine has already been pur
chased, and is now on its way thither from
Pittsburg, aud the company expect to com
mence boring in the course of two or three
weeks. The capital stock of .the company
is $500,000,- divided into 100,000 shares of
the par value of $5 each. The certificates of
stock will be issued in the course of a week.

OBITUARY.
Died. April lltb. 1385, in the 5th Corps Hospi
tal, at City Point, Ya., Lemitel Shaw, late compa
ny K, 58th Regt Pa. Vet. Vol's, aged 24 years, 9
months and 23 days He died from the effects of
a wound received daring the battle of the Boyd
ton Plan Road, fought on the 29th day of last
March. While occupying his position in thebat
tle line, as commander of his company, he was
struck by a musket ball, which entered the lower
f art of the abdomen and passed out through the
eft thigh, shattering the hip joint-X The follow
ing is a brief sketch of his military history;
Captain Shaw was mustered into the company
which he afterwards had the honor of command
ing, as a private, at Harrisburg, April 1st, 1S62.
For his good conduct and soldierly bearing he
was promoted to a Sergeantcy the following Nov
ember. For bravery in battle, and his consum
mate knowledge of military tactics, he received
the warrant of First Sergeant, January 1st. 1864.
Shortly afterward he was mustered in Second,
and subsequently commissioned and mustered as
First Lieutenant of his company. ' During a re
eonnoisanee in force, made by our corps, (5th) in
the direction of Hatcher's Run, October 23th. 1864,
he saved our division from being cut off and cap
tured, by penetrating the enemj'a advanced
lines and discovering that he was moving in two
columns upon our rear. Upon returning to our
lines he reported the "situation" to Gen Craw
ford, who immediately ordered his forces to fall
back to a place of safety, which we reached bare
ly in time to save ourselves from being hemmed
in by the converging columns of the foe. For
this cool and daring action he was breveted Cap
tain by Secretary Stanton and the President, and
confirmed by Congress. luring a part of last
winter be taught oar Regimental Militaay School.
He died from the effects of of the third wound re
ceived in the defence of his country.
As a soldier, his great ambition seemed to be to
do bis duty well in every position which it was
his fortune to fill. If he desired to be honored at
all, it was to receive that honor which voluntarily
flows from the performance of meiitorious ac
tions. Perhaps there has been but few men more
calmly brave than he, even amongst those vete
rans who have been taught courage by facing the
battle-storm and charging the lines of a stub
born foe upon the field of a hundred bloody con
flicts. However, the soldier was farsurpassed by
the man. All that we look upon as being noble,
just, and kind, shone in his character w.th tran
scendent lustre. .Yet, while his life was a con
summate model of morality, he trusted in the
blood of Christ for Salvation.
After he was wounded. I was by his bedside in
the hospital. We bad been mess-mates together
and loved each other dearly. Though a heavy
cross, I told him of the dangerous character of
bis wound, and that, perhaps, he would not long
survive it. .At this intelligence he was not sur
prised, for be had been forewarned of his fate for
weeks. I asked him if ke bad any message to
send home, speaking calmly, he sid: "Denny,
if I should not survive, write to my Mother, Mrs
Mary Shaw. Say to her that I was mortally
wounded while in the discharge of my duty, and
that I think I am prepared to go." While with
him, I beard him utter no word of complaint.
Dear fiiends, while ye bedew his memory with
the heart-tears of affection, let them be radiant
with the sunshine of hope, for by faith we know
th nt when the spirit of the departed breaks away
from its clay-prison it rises above the cold atmos
phere of deathful sin which surrounds this world,
and that it floats up into the presence of the ho
ly Angels, and into the glory of the Godhead
who gave it being.
It is a glorious thing to die,
In this, our nation's, pct-ent strife,
When, for the life of liberty,
Mie's pouring out the blood of life.
It is a glorious thicg to live,
Amid the wrong this age has given ;
So, when we're mustered out by death.
Our names are on the Rolls of Heaven
These ! the.-e are thine ! tho' thou art gone,
In memory thou still fhalt lire,
As one who for his country gave .
His life gave all he had to give
These! these are thine! when thou didst die
A palm of saintly victory,
The amarnnthus of the sky
God's gifts in Christ awaited thee.

U. S. 7-30 LOAN.
THlftl) SERIES.
S230,000,000- .
By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury,
the undersigned, the General Subscrip tion Agent
for the sale of United States securities, ofTers to
the publio the third series of Treasury Notes,
bearing seven and three-tenths per cent, interest
per annum, known as the
7-30 LOAN.
These notes are issued under date of July 15th,
1S65, and are payable three years from that data
in currency, or are convertible at the option of
the holder into
U. S. 5-20 Six per cent.
GOLD-BEARING BONDS,
. These Bonds are now worth a handsome premi
um, and are exempt, as are all the Government
Bonds, from State. County, and Municipal taxa
tion, which adds from one to thr.se percent, per
annum to their value, according to the rate levied
upon other property. The interest is payable semi
annually by coupons attached to each note. w hick
may be cut off and sold to any bank or banker.
The interest at 7.30 per ct. amounts ta
One cent per day on a 50 note.
Two cents per day on a $100 note.
Ten cents per day on a $500 not-.
20 cents per day on a $1000 note.
1 per day on a 85000 note.
Note of all the denominations named will be
promptly furnished upon receipt of subscriptions.
The Notes of this third series are precisely sim
ilar iq form and privileges to the Seven-Thirties
already sold, except that the Government reserves
to itself the option of paying interest in gold coin
at 6 per cent., instead of 7 3-10ths in currency.
Subscribers will deduct the interest in curreney
up to July 15th at the time they subscribe.
The delivery of the notes of this third series of
the Seven thirties will commence on the 1st of
June, and will be made promptly aud contiuous
ly after that date. The slight change made in
the conditions of this Third Series afieots only the
matter of interest. The payment in gold, if made,
will be equivalent to the currency interest of the
higher rate.
The return to specie payments, in the event of
which only will the option to pay interest in Gold
be availed of, would so reduce and equalise pri
ces that purchases made with six per cent, in gold
would be fully equal to those made with seven and
three-tenths percent in currency. This is
The Only Loan in Market
Now offered by the Government, and its superior
advantages make it the -,
Great Popular Loan of the People.
Less than $200,000,000 ot the Loan authorised
by the last Congress are now on the market. This
amount, at the rate at which it is being absorbed
will all be subscribed for within two months. when
the notes will undoubtedly command a premium,
as has uniformly been the case on closing the
subscriptions to other loans.
In order that the citizen? f ever; i-wii ti.i
section of country may be afforded taciiiiic
taking the loan, the National Banks, State Banks,
and Private Bankers throughout the country have
generally agreed to receive subscriptions at par.
Subscribers will select their own agents, in whom
they have confidence, and who only are to be re
sponsible for the delivery of the notes for which
they receive orders.
