thus excluding the complanants from their loca-
tion, and rendering it impossible for them 10
complete the railroad which they are authorized
aud required to construct.
The motion was originally made in the
Western District but the Injunction was there

The CHRISTIAN AND SANITARY CoMAIIs-
sIoNs.-1he work performed by the Chris
tan and Sanitary Commissions during the
great war of freedom is difficult to overrate
They have both brought their official labors
to close, and the results are matters of his
tory. The individuals composing these great
bodies are still busy doing works of mercy
for the benefit of those who have suffered
from the disastrous consequences of battle and
siege. Unnumbered families of dead soldiers
are daily provided for by the benevolent men
and women who labored so anxiously and in
deiatigably during the continuance Of the war.
Almost the whole Of the ladies who were en-
gagged in carrying out the purposes of the
organizations above referred to, are still ac-
tive in visiting the sick and wounded, and
ministering to the wants and necessities of
those MANNED, or broken in health, by the
bardships Of the camp and battlefield.
Relief Associations are being formed to
look to the condition of the widows and
orphans of those who CALAMITY laid down their
own lives to save that of the country. To these
foster-children of the republic we owe an
everlasting debt of gratitude, and they should
never lack any good thing as long as pros
perity is within our palaces and peace within
our walls. The Union of the States is now
forever cemented by the noblest blood Of the
nation. The holocaust of death has been
finished; the reign Of treason is over,
For four fearful years our streams ran blood,
and thousands of valleys grew rich with
human gore; but the dark days Of sorrow are
past, and joy cometh with the morning. The
closing scenes OF these noble benevolences are
fraught with a divided interest-one Of
pleasure that there is no longer any necessity
for their continuance, and the other of admi-
ration in the contemplation OF the good they
have accomplished. They have both esta-
blished themselves in the hearts of the people,
where their memory will be forever kept
green.

The OAK SHADE on CoMPANY.-Those oil CON-
panies which have been organized on sound
basis and economically managed have been,
in most instances, eminently successful. The
Company above named belongs to the class
described.
The property was well chosen, the title Sc
cured, and the work of development has been
steadily carried forward with rare Judgment and
industry.
Three flowing wells are already in operation,
yielding return equal to two and a-half per
cent. per month on the entire capital OF the Com
pany, while other wells are in progress of drill
ing, two Of which will be ready for tubing and
testing during the present month, with a fair
prospect of being very productive
The Directors of the company are practical
business men, of known integrity of character,
and as they look to the oil actually produced
from their property for a legitimate profit on
their capital it is but reasonable to expect that
the stock of the company win soon become one
of the best and safest investments of the kind in
the market
The results already realized show the advantage
which any enterprise, honestly ano iudiciously
conducted, has over one that is only speculative
in its character, and it is gratifying to know that
there are a few companies, at least, engaged
legitimately in developing so valuable product
OF our State as petroleum.

THE HOME FOR LITTLE WANDERERS
This institution is to be inaugurated by
grand demonstration at Concert Hall, Ches-
nut street, this evening. The Reverend Mr..
VAN METER. OF the Howard Mission, New
York, is to be present, with twelve of the best
singers from the mission, who will sing a
number oil songs, choruses, glees, and anthems.
These children sing with skill and pathos
which draw all hearts after them. Mr..
KINGSLEY, OF the Continental, invited them
to that hotel to dinner yesterday, and while
there they sang in the parlor TO the guests OF
the house. The effect was prodigious. Many
of the ladies and gentlemen present wept,
and all were deeply lymoVed. After the singing
was over, the guests of the house covered the
top OF the pianoforte with greenbaclls for the
benefit OF the Howard Mission. Over three
hundred and fifty dollars was thus contributed.
AT the meeting at Concert Hall tonight
there will be excellent speaking, and much
interesting matter brought forward, in addi-
tion to the singing. Governor POLLOCK will
preside.
