We understand that a company has been formed in this place, and an engine 'arcliased and sent forward, to bore for U in Clearfield township, Cambria coun ty. Indications of the substance have been discovered in that locality, and it is confidently predicted a reservoir of oil equal in richness to that of Venango coun ty will speedily be brought to light.

M'Elwain, pastor of the Presbyterian church, Indiana, has wen increased from $800 to $1,200 a year. The excellent sleighing wc spoke about '.is'j week as peculiar to The Mountain is eo more ! Through the influence of suu dry protracted rains the latter part of last week and the beginning of the present, the snow (of which there was a depth of eight inches) disappeared with unparallel ed celerity, leaving behind as token of its brief existence aa ocean of rain-water, elush and mud. Diptheria is said to prevail in the neigh borhood of Wilmore, this county. Court continued in session all last week, 8'ijourning on Saturday, noon. A consid erable amount of business was transacted.

Chaplains who are sin cere, capable, and efficient are scarce in the army Mr. L. will impart a dignity and character to the calling which will redeem it from much of the odium in which it is held, worthily or unworthily, in the estimation of the public. It is in contemplation to organize a literary society in Johnstown.

That's the way to do it ! The Ilollidaysburg Standard don't like "political sermons." The devil is paid to also entertain a violent antipathy to them ! The Ilarrisburg Telegraph says the far mers in that section have nary conscience on market mornings. We hooe the J" disease isn't infectious, for cur farmers here Btill retain some tli.jht symptoms of conscience, which we would be loath to eee wiped out of existence entirely ! Indications of oil have been discovered in Indiana county, and companies are be ing formed to prospect for the hidden treasure.

The Holidays are coming I Their brave, hearty grasp is on our lintel. The sound of their footsteps greet us turn where we may. They peer at us, aud grin at us, and make comic fa ces at us through the interstices of a bat tered, shattered old vear. and blow their genial breath in our very faces. They are coming ! Soon they will be with us the Holidays. Oh ! joy, contentment, and universal beatitude oh I jollity, heart- s spellings, and lave ! With us the Hol idays the haleyon epoch of human bles sedness and appreciation of that which is good the brief season when the genii of Mirth and Love throw the broad ocgis of their welcome protection around u?, to shield us from the world's cold storm. Speed, speed their coming! It is dark without, aud the North Wind sighs a requiem over tho bitter desolate ness of the scene. Gloom sits perched on the brow of Nature, painting it a funereal hue. The year is in the throe3 of disso lution ! With that word, the mind wan ders back over gren fields along by gur gling waters to shady bower alive with fragrance and melody, and asks itself Is thij the end of all ? blackness and dark ness, must they come at last to mildew and wither the fairest scene, the brightest prospect, the fondest hope, the most exal ted aspiration ? The conviction couics unbidden that all things earthly, soever bright and glowing, must speedily "fade as a leaf," and then the mind, chameleon like taking its character from its surroun ding?, puts on a sombre, misanthropic gaiment, and wraps itself in unapproach able austerity. Dark, indeed. But look ahead ! In the dim distance, a new year phocoix-like arises from the ashes of its predecessor, strong, youthful, vigorous, and taking up the lines from where they had been dropped by the hand of decrep itude, springs with a hurrah to the task of rattling along merrily the wheel of reju venated Time, liy that token, the impen etrable clouds of darkness and misanthropy go rolling back upon themselves, disclo sing to view i picture fair as the fanciful creation of a dream, and brimming over with sweets and high promises. It is the transformation of Old to New. Look ahead ! Though darkness may for a time encompass you, and all about you appear dismal and gloomy, despair nut, but look ahead! There comes ever a transformation. Sooner or later the old and hideous must give way to the new and beautiful. First or last, the "silver li ning" will assert itself. Look ahead, and know that shadows and thick clouds under the magic hand of Time must fall as scales from about your temporal happiness, just as shadows and thick clouds obscuring your spiritual pathway are exorcised by each day's march you make nearer toward your Home. But that's a sermon. Sermonizing avaunt ! The Holidays are coming ! In view of this fact, we throw up cur cap the one with the waving plume iu it and shout: Dum vivimus, viva)ius ! Wash ington Irving says : "Amidst the general call to happiness which prevails at this period, what bosom can remain insensible? . . . He who can sit down darkling and repining when all around is joyful, may have his moments of strong excite ment and selfish gratification, but- " living, he still don't lice! Reader, we wish you a merrie Christ mas ! Heaven send you mighty appetites, with much turkey and things to link thereupon. If you kiss a pretty gill under the mistletoe, may she kiss you in return. As long aa your Yule Clog burns, may your o!d nut-brown punch-bowl con tinue to give forth its accustomed balmy incense. During the day, may you bury Care just outside the door, that you may tread on him as you go in and out. May you be happy ! Header, we salute you! In the name of St. Washael, good genius of Holiday times, we salute ynu ou either cheek, and wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ! A SnocKixa Occurrence. On Fri day night week, the dwelling-house of Mrs. Charlotte Yager, in Chest township, this county, together with itd contents, was entirely destroyed by fire. The fam ily succeeded iu making their escape, in their night clothes, from the flames, with the exception of a little boy three years old, who, sad to relate, was burned to ushes with the building. The fire origi nated from a defective stovepipe. Seller's Column. We direct the at. tcntion of our readers to the column ad vertisement of Sellers' Medicines, on this page. Those medicines are said by those who have tried them to possess wonderful curative powers. Try them I . . Correct the Enrollment I We" beg to impress upon the minds of our readers the importance of correcting the enroll ment list. This list is the basis by which the apportionment of a district is arrived at. Take Ebensburg for example : She has Fay 100 enrolled names on her list, twenty-five per cent, of which, probably, would be stricken off on application to the Provost Marshal. If her apportionment under a draft should happen to be one in four, with the enrollment uncorrected her quota would bo 25 with the enrollment corrected it would be only 18. . These 18, to be sure, would be drawn out of a di minished whole, thus causing the correc ting the list to assume the dimensions of a simple problem in proportion, but, then. with the enrollment uncorrected, twenty- five per cent, of all the names drawn stand a reasonable chance of being exempted, leaving the quota of 25 in reality to be furnished from a list which in justice should only be called upon to furnish 18. These are facts which should commend th emselves to the serious consideration of all those "between the ages of twenty and forty-five." If they allow the quotas of their respective districts under any com ing draft to be in excess of what they should be, it will be their own fault. In this connection, we refer our readers to the advertisement in another column of Pro. Mar. Lloyd relative to the correction of the enrollment. T LNDSEY' IMPROVED JU BLOOD-SEARCHER I The Alleoed Frauds on tiie 55th P. V. Our readers will remember that in March last, in the State Senate, a commit tee of investigation made a report charging Col. Richard White, of the 55th P. V., and Capt. David Fox, of Co. A, same reg iment, (both officers from Cambria coun ty,) with conduct prejudicial to the ser vice, in that they defrauded re-enlisting members of their regiment and new vol unteers out of bounty money to the amount of nearly S17,00, and recommen ding a court of inquiry by the Secretary of War to investigate the charges prefened. Pursuaut to this recommendation, a court martial convened in Carlisle a couple of weeks ago, when and wherethe conduct of the Col. and Capt. was exposed to offi cial scrutiny. The result was that Col. White waa honorably acquitted of the charge laid at his door. The finding of the court martial in the case of Capt. Fox ha3 not as yet transpired. Died: At his residence, Ebensburg, on Wednesday morning, 14th inst., Mr. William T. Sloan, aged about 38 years. The deceased was a moit estimable citizen, and universally loved and respected. If ever there was a sincere Christian, he was one. His friends and relatives may sor row at his untimely taking away, but their grief cannot but be tempered by the sweet knowledge that for him this dark, tem pestuous world of troubles has been ex changed for a bright and glowing one, where white-robed angels sweetly siog, and joy and happiness reign supreme. "Official." The Dtm. Sent, (not very good authority,) states that the army vote cast by Cambria county soldiers at Hancock station, Virginia, for Lincoln, 21 votes, was counted twice by our Return J udges. Rectifying this error, the correct majority for M'Clellan in the county would be 813, (not 913, as the Bern. & Sent, has it,) instead of 792. In town several days last week Capt. W. B. Lowman, of Johnstown, 'Squire John Porter, of Hemlock, and Messrs P. L. Linton and Robt. E. Lucas, of Pitts burg all good fellows. No Paper.
