docs, but after severe struggle made his escape,
leaving his hat and box of lying in the road
Ills cries attracted the attention of the neghbors who
supposed that the man had been murdered and his
body thrown into the river, they saw marks on
the side of the bank, as if some person had been
dragged over. Next morning the barber mnde his
appearance and claimed the articles found, and with
the exception Of few slight bruises, was uninjured.
The afnir naturally created great deal of excite
nent in the neighborhood.
Two other robberiee, or attempts at robbery
occurred 10 this place on the same evening. which
speak Tery badly indeed for the police regulations
OF our borough. An attempt was made to break
into the freight warehouse of the Empire and Pei.

lie seated himself very coolly, and commenced put
ting on the boots when he asked by what author

dropped the boots, and made his escape.

1HE RESULT CT ThE ELEcrIoN.-That the State
election is now over must be source of satisfaction
to everybody Those who have been elevated to
Office are very we'll satisfied, of course. The candi
dates who were not elected have no further for
anxiety, and doubtless experience very agreeable
sensation of relief. Persons who bet tho result
of the election have either the qualification of re.
ceiving money, or the lofty and magnanimous plea
sure Of paying it over. Every one now has leisure

such as the selection of new fall suit from the

n On IN Lrcorrxo cevxry.--ws copy the
following, in relation to very important discovery
of oil near Ifunoy, in Lyccming county, from tho
Muncy LnSsirsary, Of Tuesday last :--s Several
months since we noticed the organisation of the
Muncy Coal Oh Company, and stated the fact that
the pany had contracted for sinking well on
the Gortner farm, about seven miles north of this
borough On Saturday iastthe following stetement,
in regard to the operations and success Of the
tractor, was furnished US by gentleman who spent
the whole Of last Friday on the ground, and doubt
less knows whereof be writes
"After the great freshet IN tho spring of 1858,
coal oil made its appearance in springs of water,
seven miles north of the borough Of Nancy A Com.
pany was formed to develop the territory In July
last they commenced sinking well. At the depth
of one hundred and fifty feet small vein of oil
struck another small vein was struck at two hun.
dred and fifty feet; both of these veins under the
pressure of water ceased to flow After having
passed through one strata Of brown sand stone and
of white again passing into the brown sand stone,
and whilst passing from the second strata Of brown
sand into the second strata Of white sand, at depth
of four hundred and fifty feet largo vein OF oil
was struck at 4 o'clock, P. NJ, on Thursday, the
25th inst, which continues to low, Notwithstanding
tho great pressure Of water upon it. Should this
vein of oil continue to Cow for few hours moro it
will be necessary to tube tho well and test the vein
This is a very unexpected result, as no largo vein
of oil was looked for short Of six hundred and hfty
feet.
"An almost universal opinion has been prevailing
that oil could not be struck on the south. slope
of the Allegheny mountains, which has made very
difficult for the Muncy Company to obtain subscri.
bers to the stock of the Company. The great sue.
cess attending the sinking of well No l, on the
Gortner farm, miles north Of Muncy, explodes
this absurd theory

Dr. Scllcnclx's PuIm0nic Syrup.


This groat medicine cured Dr. j. H. Schenck, the
Proprietor, Of Pulmonary Consumption, whom it had
assumed its most formidable aspect, and when
speedy death appeared to be inevitable. His ply
sicans pronounced his case incurable, when he com
menced the use of this simple but powerful remedy
His health restored in very short iime and no
return of the disease has been apprehended, for all
the symptoms quickly disappeared, and bis present
weight is more than two hundred pounds.
Since bis recovery, he has devoted his attention
exclusively to the cure of Consumption and the dis
eases which usually complicated with it, and the
cures effected by his medicines have been very nu-
merous and truly wonderful. DR.. Schenck makes
professional visits to several of The larger cities
weekly, where he has large conccurse of patients,
and it is truly astonishing 10 see poor consumptives
that have be lifted out of heir carriages, and in
few months healthy, robust persons. DR.. SCnESCK s
PULMONIC SYRUP, SEAWEED TONIC, and
MANDRAKE PILLS, are generally all required
in curing Consumption. Full directions accompany
each, that any can take them without seeing

see him. lie gives advice free, but for a thorough
examination with hissRcspiromeier his fee is thi
