Special Dispatch to tho Intelligencer.
PABKEBSBURG. W. Va_. Oct. 14 ?
The Ecventb annual session of the synod
of Pennsylvania adjourned to-dsy.
after completing one of the most successful
meetings In Its history. The
first business In order were reports of
the committees appointed to examine
records of the various presbyteries. All
those reported were approved with the
exceptions of Farkersburg. ShenangO
ani| Welliboro, In wblcb (light exceptions
were ordered.
One of the roont Interesting feature!
of the morning teuton was the report
of the committee on temperance, gives
by Its chairman. Dr. Collier. It showed
satisfactory progress and recommended
that the synod urge the pressing of this
work; that the synod give lta most earnest
disapproval to aay member who
signs a liquor license, or rents property
tor that purpose; that one Sunday eacb
year be observed as temperance day;
that scientific efforts having for their
object (be suppression of liquor business,
be ejoouraged; that the temperance
pledge be used; that sympathy be
given the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, and that Congress and the
Prpatrtpnt h* noMtlnnpd to abolish the
canteen in the army.
These recommendations were aptproved,
and Dr. Collier placed at the
head of those who will carry the canteen
petition to Washington.
This report was followed by one made
by Dr. W. E. Oiler, on systematic beneficence,
which showed that the
churches are fast showing the benefits
of systematic giving.
Dr. Brooks in behalf of the committee
on the minutes of the general assembly,
reported^ satisfactorily, recommending
that four special days be observed,
viz: Temperance day; day of
prayer for colleges; day for Sabbath
schools,and one for the women's boards.
This report and the recommendations
were adopted.
Rev. David J. Bcale made the report
for the Frcedman's Aid Society, which
was most encouraging. This was received
and adopted. Rev. A. D. Light
made a report in the matter of changes
in the laws of the synod. He reported
that a majority of the presbyteries had
voted to approve of the move to change
the basis of representation of the presbyteries
in the synod. The new order
provides for a representation of one elder
and one minister for every twentyfour
ministers and churches, instead of
one elder and one minister for every
sixteen ministers and churchos, as at
present. The synod approved the action
of the presbyteries and the new order is
now the legal one.
In the matter of providing mileage
and entertainment for commissioners,
Rev. Mr. Light reported that a majority
of the presbyteries had disapproved
of the proposition and it was therefore
lost.
A report concerning changes in faculty
and board of Lafayette college
was received and approved, and then
a final adjournment was made.
About nooo a pleasant excursion was
provided for the commissioners in the
war of a trip to Blennerhassett island.
A large number of the visitors went
down on the Oneida, spending an hour
there.
WEEKLY OIL REVIEW.
The failure of operators to develop
any tiling tew in the fields during the
week past was more than offset by the
advance in the credit balance market,
sayt. "D. S. W." *rne quotation v.aa
marked up to $1 18, as against $1 T2
at the clone of the preceding week. All
admit that It Is a good market, but
the consensus of opinion is that it will
go higher unless better results are attained
Irv opening: new territory. As yet
there has been nothing: discovered to
indicate that there is any increased voir
ume of production in* sight. That such
is the case is no fault of the operators,
for every nook and corner Is undergoing
a thorough testing Operators are
meeting with pretty good success in
some localities, but smaii wells are the
rule, except) in the de?p sand territory
of West VIrgrinia, where the Stand-arJ
is doing nearly all the work. An official
in a position to know stated in an interview
lavt week that the big concern
still hail some 400 or 500 locations to
Htrfii in fiiot t??rritorv. and' that it would
be more rhon a year before locations
to drili wouftd be exhausted in the Interior.
H1s company, he stated* would
continue to drill outside defined limits,
and stood a chance to, extend) some of
thy pools and discover others. When
asked* what he thought of Greene county
he admitted that it did not come up to j
expectations, burt If oil existed- in paying
quantities they wanted to know it,
and- the onfly way to get the desired information
was to continue to drill. Under
present conditions, it was also Important
to know* that It does extet in
s'omo localities as well as to develop
the1 teritory known to be productive.
The Jackson* itidge country was J
brought to the froivt during the week
by an erroneous report set afloat to the
effect that a gusher had1 been drilled
in on the Craven farm, two and? & half
miles to the northwest of the main de- j
veLopment. The well got- a show* of oil i
on top of the sand1, but when drilled ;
through the reported gusher was found !
to be a five-barrel pumper. The Jackson
Itidge development has about thirty pro- j
iluclr.?g wells, with an aggregate production
of about 4GO barrels a day. It
! car* be seen at a glance that the average
of the wells is small, but notwithI
standing this fact the Keener sand dc'
velopment in Monroe oounty has a fuI
ture, for It covers an* area of three by

BLESSINGS OF SLEEP.
Only Experience Can Tell the
Agonies of Insomnia.
A Graphic Description of Nortous
Dyspepsia.
Diseases Whidi Dr. Greene's Nervura
Permanently Cure.
I Who can describe the agonies of dyspepsia?
Paroxysms of pain. Loss of
sleep. Morbid fears and evil forebodings.
Such are some of th$ invariable
sysmptoms. In spasmodic conditions of
the stomach hot water or some other hot
liquid may airora temporary reiiex, aa
in the following case, but no permanent
cure io possible except by removal of the
primary cause.
Mrs. Ira A. Bass, Littleton, N. H.,
says: "I want to thank Dr. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy for the
good it has done me. *My stomach was
in such a condition that I could not keep
anything on it except a little hot water,
without terrible distress. I con now eat
as well as anyone need to by keeping a
little of the medicine in the h6uae and
taking it after a hearty meal. I can
sleep now like a kitten, and O, what a
God-sent blessing that Is! I have taken
fifteen bottles already, and I would have
been down in the church yard now but
wfor the wonderful blessing. Dr. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and
may the blessing of God follow Dr.
Greene and give him a home in heaven,
is my earnest prayer."
Mrs. Bass's description of nervous
dyspepsia Is graphic in its simplicity
and sincerity. She accurately portrays
the pain and dread which accompany
nervous derangement and the buoyant
spirits and thankfulness which follow
restoration to health under the magic
influence of Dr. Greene's Nervura remedy
for the blood and nerves.

SISTERSVILLK. TV. Va., Oct. M.?
The new station of the Ohio River depot
here was badly damaged by- fire
early this morning. The- blaze was a
vvrv stubborn nni' and on account of
the hose companies being unable to get
water it came very near being entirely
destroyed. The fire started in the store
room of the tating house on the second
floor, and was small when discovered,
but the lack of water allowed It.to get
quite a headway. (
The cause of the conflagration is a
mystery, but it is supposed to have
been caused by rats getting In matches
which were stored In the storage room.
About 10 o'clock In the forenoon the
realdcnce of Hugh Kelly, on Virginia
street, was gutted by Hre, also. The
loss on the station will probably amount
to $3,000, nnd on the dwelling house,
probably <1,000.
