Oil Struck at Albion.
Great Excitement Among the Citizens
40 Barrels Flosoing IN "a Hours.

Great excitement has been created at
Albion by the accidental discovery of m
oil well. The discovery was made on
Saturday last, about o'clock in the af-
ternoon, by some boys who we're fishing
in the race near the Touring mill of j.
Crowell. They saw the surface of the
water covered with oil, and supposed that
it came from drain which empties into
the race a short distance below the mill.
Notice of the fact was given to the men
employed in the mill, and they supposed
that it came from some leaky cask in one
of the cellars in the vicinity. Upon in-
vestigating the affair still further, it. was
ascertained that an oil spring had COM
menced to flow in the cellar of the store
of Geo. N. Cady. The store owned by
Mr.. Cady was built seven years before,
and at that time there was spring of
drinking water in the cellar, which was
afterward planked over with the remain
der Of the cellar bottom. From this
spring the oil is now flowing with great
rapidity-estimated at 40 barrels per day,
The news of the discovery ran over the
place like wildfre, and hundreds Of peo-
pie fiocked to visit the oil spring. Many
of the citizens gathered the oil and used
it in their kerosene oil lamps, and found
it very good substitute for that article
1t burns well in its crude state and is
quite as pure as most of the petroleum in
its native state. Mr.. Cady is filling all
the casks he can obtain in the vicinity,
and it promises TO be rich mine of
wealth if the flow continues. This State
can now boast of new source of mate
rial wealth, as probably others will sink
oil wells in the vicinity. She has not on
ly her immense pineries, limitless copper,
iron, lead, silver and coal mines; rich and
almost unparalleled saines, extensive beds
of gypsum, but also deposits of petrole-
um, which probably only need develop
ment 10 rival in extent and richness the
oil wells of other States.-Advertiser

The action of Mr.. Bayard, Of Della
ware, in resigning his seat in the Senate
of the United States, at the beginning of
a six years term, in consequence Of an
imposition upon him of an oath unwar-
ranted by the constitution, convinces US
that the herosm and patriotism of the
better days of the Republic are not Who'll
~ extinct in these days of servility, cor
ruption and moral and political coward
ice. If every democratic Senator and
Representative in Washington was as
honest and brave and true rs Mr.. Bayard,
different direction would be given to
public affairs, and tho people would have
more hope in the Chicago
Times.

The RKcTPRocTY TREATY.-Among
the important measures likely TO engage
largely the attention Of Congress during
its present session, is that of the obliga-
ton Of the Reciprocity Treaty with our
Cauadisn ncighbors. 1t is alleged that
our cousins, in her Majesties dominions,
have been very largely benefited by the
provisions of the treaty for which our peo-
pie have received very Insignificant
equivalent, and therefore wholesome re-
gard for own interest requires that its
provisions cease to be binding at as early
day as possible. The limit of the treaty
will be reached in June next, but before
either party can be relieved, a twelve
months notice is to be given by the Gov
eminent desiring its revocation. 1t is
stated that prominent Canadians will be
at Washington to prevent, if possible, any
action being taken during the present ses-
sion, unfavorable to their interests. But
as the operation is claimed to be unequal
at least some notifications will doubt
less be entertained, notice of which
has already been given in Congress. No
tees have likewise been given of a bill to
abrogate the treaty entirely.

ANOTHER FENcE.-The great incon-
venience and enormous expense incurred
by the D. & M. Railway Co., during the
past fall and winter, to keep the track
clear of the sitting sand, at this point,
has induced it to take measures to build,
on the the opening of spring another board
fence of huge dimensions, near the sum-
NIT Of the principal sand hill, as pro-
lection to the road. Would that the Co.
would be wise and move the whole con-
Germ, depot buildings and all fixtures to
our side of the river. Is such wish sell

MUsKEGoN.-We are sorry to see, by
official returns, that our neighboriug vii
lage of Muskegon, hitherto regarded as so
patriotic, is so far behind in filling her
quota under the last two calls Of Govern
ment, thus, on the first call she was re-
quired to furnish 76 men, on the second,
81, of these only IL had been credited to
the Slst of January. The town of Mus
kegon is called upon for 81 on both calls,
of these only are credited. So White
River, to which 20 is assigned as her quo
Ia, only has been credited. Spur up,
neighbors, hasten in out Of the draft aud
save your good name, we believe there is
patriotism yet in the pine woods if it can
only be brought out.
