ANOTHER RAID THREATExE Greek, twenty
miles west of Cumberland, captured by the reb-
els last Monday and the public stores destroyed
Our force there is stated at 500. The enemy were
yariously estimated up to 1000 This sudden stroke
exctes good deal of apprehension of a destructive
raid on our border. But we believe ample prepa-
ration is made to meet any demonstration likely to
be made by the enemy in this direction. Though we
are without detail and cannot speak confidently.

Ixo1cArroxs or On IL BLAIR CoUNTY.-The resi-
dents of Tyrone city have got the oil fever badly,
from certain indications of oleaginous deposit alleg
ed TO have been discovered near there The indi-
cations referred to- is said were found at Grant
Mill, owned By Messrs. Pruner BHrley, Of Tyrone,
and practical geologst has pronounced the ndica-
tions for oil unmistakabe. The discovery, it is
said has created considerable excitement and offers
to buy territory have been made and refused
LEcrrRr.-An interesting lecture was delivered
on Tuesday evening, in the Presbyterian Church in
this place, behalf of the Sanitary Commission,
by the Rev j. Park, Of Wisconsin. The speaker
presented an instructive and impressive array OF
facts, strkingly showing the comprehensive and be
nefcent workings Of the Sanitary Commission. One
statement made might be accepted conclusive
evidence ofthe ability and economy exhibited in the
management Of the extensive operations carried on
by the Commission. Seven millions of dollars have
been expended at cost of only three per cent. for
collection disbursements agents, &c giving ninety
seven cents TO the soldier out of every dollar con
tributed
Another fact stated illustrates the results of the
laborz Of the Commission on oital point-that Of
health. Comparative tables have been published
showing that the relative deaths, from sickness and
wounds in battle have been greatly diminished since
the beginning of the war, and the health of our
mics, as shown by the percentage Of deaths, greatly
exceeds that Of the European armies. The improve
ment IN the sanitary condition of our armies is d.
recty traceabe to the labors Of the Sanitary Com
mission.
Mention was made Of the articles most useful to
the soldier. It seems that the preserves and eles
which IN such demand IN ell model households
are not found to be the whole Of much benefit to
me soldier They are liable to ferlnent and spoil en-
route, and when they arrives III good condition, are
not good for the sick soldier variety Of articles
were enumerated useful as, such drawers, socks,
shirts, handkerchiefs, eoverlias, fine tooth combs,
mittens. &c.
Our limited space prevents our giving fuller de-
tail Of this instructive lecture Mr. Park win remain
III the county two OF three weeks, and many Of our
readers win have opportunity Of hearing him.
