Petroleum.

The success which has attended some of
these Oil Companies has been marveIous,-s
muchso as to remind one forcibly of AlIadin's
lamp. Territory has been purchased or leased
and companies formed to bore it, and oil has
been found in inexhaustible quantities, and the
result has been the reaping of golden har-
vest, thirty, sixty and hundred iold. Take
for instance "The Columbia Oil Company, " on
the Story Farm, so-calied, on tributary of
the Allegheny. The capital Of the Company
is 81, 100000, divided into $4,000 shares of $50
each. The experience of this Company shows
that more than half the wells produce oil.
The oil produced by these last year was al,
COS barrelsof the value of $1,04S, 199.
During five months the oil delivered was
l0,OOO barrels per month, and during the 9TH
er seven months their cash receipts amounted
to 100000 per month.
The working expenses during the year were
only s2S,221, leaving the net receipts of 81 O4s,
1919.
And the dividends which this Company
paid and set aside to pay in 1853 and ,e4
amounted to the enormous sum Of Al or
600.
This result seems almost incredible. We
could hardly believe it unless fully vouched
for and authenticated in the published reports
OF the Company.
It serves, however, to show two important
facts, viz: 1st, that the flow of oil has con-
tinued steady and abundant for many months,
and I'd, that the demand has been greater than
the supply and the oil has had rapid sale. If
our enterprising friends who have organized a
company here meet with similar success, they
Will not only enrich themselves but all who
take stock with them.

PROGRESS in Public Sentiment.

Notwithstanding Kentucky has for the pres
emit refused to ratiiy the abolition amendment
to the Constitution, the progress of liberality
10 the public sentiment of that State. is emf
nently gratifying. 1t is but few years since
an anti slavery newspaper in that State could
not be tolerated, and Cassius M. Clay was
mobbed and VIM. Shreve Bailey had his press
thrown into the Ohio and his person incarcer-
ated in prison, for advocating the practical APP
plication of the doctrines of the common
Brotherhood. But now how changed! The
chief magistrate of the State, Gov Bramlette,
recently sent a message to the Legislature,
urging the passage of the amendment by that
boiy, upon the condition that Congress shall
appropriate the sum Of thirty four millions to
indemnity the shareholders. But he adds:
"Better accept the amendment unconditional
ly than to reject it altogether" and he tells
the Legislature that slavery is already uproot-
ed in the State
"No intelligent man, whatever may be his
desires upon the subject, can hope for the per-
petuation of slavery in Kentucky. Every
state which surrounds us has abolished sla-
very. The laws for rendition of fugitives are
repealed, and there is no possible hope of their
re-enactment. The most valuable slaves have
enlisted in the army or fed to other states;
those that remain are hopelessly demoralizsd,
and rendered not only valueless, but burden
some. These facts are of general notoriety,
and indisputable. Wheth-
er the proposed amendment be ratified by you
or not, slavery has been foredoomed by re-
bellion, and cannot be maintained"
Lieutenant Governor Jacobs, of the same
state, has also declared himself in favor of the
amendment. He said, a few days ago: "Ken-
lucky is bound to become free state through
the choice of her own people, and delay
in settling the question can only complicate
the process by which she win reach that des-
tiny" Sr
Mr.. Guthrie, late member of President
Pierce's cabinet, Chairman of the Committee
onaResolutons at the Chicago Convention,
and now U. s. Senator elect from Kentucky,
has also written letter fayoring the adop-
ton of the constitutional amendment extir-
patlng slavery. These are signs not to be
mistaken, and the day cannot be far distant
wnen Kentucky will be represented by Leg
stature that will give full endorsement OF
the eminent gentlemen above quoted. e

The Social Tea PARTY.

Yes, certainly, we shall attend, for we love
tea, and are reminded, by this tempting
invitation, of those fine tea parties which were
common in old times, and social too, when
mothers took their children and knitting work,
and set out at four o'clock, for good time all
round. Aud then we are 10 have Chambers
band, and dance, and after that "coffee and
oysters"-not coffee and pistols. o, certainly
we cannot resist this soft impeachment, and
on Monday evening, ladies, please count US
in. And what is still better to the large SYM
pathy of this large hearted community. We
shall have the satisfaction of adding our con-
tribution t that most worthy cause, the "Min-
istry at Large" which has been laboriDg long
and well,as one of the sterling agencies of
our city, in promoting the comfort and best
welfare of deserving and suffering class of
our people. We are sorry to hear that the
hard winter and high prices have drained the
poors purse of faithful Mr.. Tuckerman and
his good vile, his energetic and most efficient
co-worker. This purse is not deep one, and
requires frequent replenishing in such a sea-
son as this; but it will not remain empty long,
for next Mondays tea party will swell its
gaunt sides, and cheer the honest hearts of Its
faithful almoners.
Shoes are wanted for the children's feet,
clothes for their shivering backs, fuel for the
hearth stones, and numerous needful articles
for the households. The present occasion will
furnish US an opportunity to contribute to
these pressing wants, while it provides for
ourselves most pleasant recreation. BY
thus blending the useful with the agreeable,
we may afford efficient aid to most excel
lent institution, and realize that noble senti-
ment taught in the Bible and beautifully Illus
trated by Shakespeare: 70.
1.-THE quality of mercy is no. strained: 80
It drcppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath; it is twice bless d; ~
IL blesseth him that gives, and him that takes" ga
Let US, then, accept this kind and general
invitation to party, where all may go and
freely partake of the luxuries and enjoyments
of the occasion in perfect freedom, consistent
with good manners, and without parade or
ceremony.
While we are every day giving literally to
our noble soldiers abroad, let us give one social,
festive evening to the dear and suffering objects
at home, and thus make glad many hearts now
p'ning in sorrow and distress:

Worth being rich to hold in fee y
