THE OIL REGIONS.

The Excitement and Interest on the Increase.
correspondent writes us from lockwood Station,
near OIL City, on the Goth ult, as follows:-
The excitement in Oil is daily increasing, especially
the Allegheny river, the old wells are being put in
operation, and some OF them are quite productive
with quite loss yesterday. The II o'clock freight
was its way p,when, three miles above Oil City,
of the cars caught fire from of the journals be-
coming heated, and had 1t not been for the perseve-
rance of the men on the train the loss would un-
doubtedly have been much greater; as it was, hye
cars and their contents about four hundred barrels
of OILY were totally destroyed, together with the
track for the distance OF fifty yards. The fire was
alike enveOped in the names and continued to burn
for several hours The damage TO the road was
fully repaired during the night, and the Empire line
on its way up from OIL City passed here at the usual
hour this morning. The express train from Irving,
ton, due here at 10 O'Clock A. M, will not arrive I'LL
late this afternoon, owing TO large land slide near
Oleopolis. Weather warm and spring-ike.

What He Has to say about Churches and sab
hnIh SchOOls-An Interesting Addresa.

What lie Has 70 say about Churches aud Sab
On Thursday afternoon last, in the session OF the
National Sunday School Convention, held at Newark,
\. j., Rev. Henry Ward Beecher addressed the as
semblage on ''Churches and Sunday Schools From
his interesting remarks we take the following:-
''Much has been thought about, much has been
attempted for, the reformation OF morals in our
cities. Doubtless churches are the fundamental in
stimtiOns. They are the reservoirs. But what in
New York and in Brooklyn is a reservoir If there be
distributing mains in the streets and no faucets
in the dwellings? Churches are reservoirs of moral
influence. There are trained the teachers for your
mission work. 1t is impossible, in my Judgment
ever-or at least not for very many years-tO provide
for the instruction and education Of the poor and
outcast in our cities through the insrumenality OF
settled or of licensed or of ordained ministers OF the
Gospel For ministers are expensive luXu-
nes Although we can afford them,
ana must nave them, in certain great centres,
as the controlling, planning brains OF Christian
work, and although in gathering up in these reser-
yOrs OF the churches moral influence, they are in
dispensabe, yet in carrying out the work into neigh
DorhOods, and into streets, and into households we
must have lighter troops and more of them: and
Wlne there Will be many collateral organizations
that viii tend TO morality, and so far will work to-
wards eYangeization, yet know Of no other way so
feasible so practicable so Cheap-no way so blessed
az both ends as Mission Sabbath Schools. For |
count the first great blessing OF mission
school this, that 1t employs the unemployed talent Of
the chuIcnes (as by mission school mean not one
which Is supported for the benefit of the children Of
those that teach, or for the benefit Of the families
hat mainly support 1t, but school that is supported
by those outside of ITSELF for the benefit Of the ne
elected classes OF the community. Now this is the
Held FOR churches that have Young men and women
OF capable endowments who have nothing to do;
we might, indeed write far more truthful

Draining the Lakes.

In telegram published by this journal some time
since AN announcement was made of a grand scheme
70 connect the lakes and the Mississippi by a ship
canal Leavenworth Kansas) paper breaches
grand project by which Chicago proposes TO distance
all its rivals. ship canal, one thousand feet broad
and sixty feet Deep is to be constructed across the
State OF Illinois to some point on the Mississippi
river, enough below the level Of Lake Michigan to
admit Of steady flow OF water into the Mississippi.
The following are the results to ensue The river
St Lawrence will become brook; Niagara Falls will
stand damp wall OF rock, If indeed the water does
not blow back over them, forced by the tremendous
suction OF Chicago Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo, De-
trOit, and Milwaukee will be sixty feet above the
present high-water mark and millions of acres Of
new land will appear i'm the shadows Of the lakes.
New York would be nowhere. The largest vessels
in the world would navigate the Mississippi, "and
steam tugs OF extraordinary powern-we quote from
the Leavenworth paper-"would bring sailing vessels
from New Orleans TO Chicago in four days This
work will cost SS4 0O0, 600. The money is not yet
raised, nor is the survey complete, but Chicago and
Leavenworth have pronounced in favor Of it.

preached II to their classes Speaking once upon the

re-echoing. believe i'm the preaching of the Gospel

here is the way in which we Protestants must bring
the Church to bear upon the whole country and util
ize our men and WOMEN in such way that the poor
shall have the Gospel preached to them, the uniortu-
nate shall be relieved, and the great moral sores
in our cities shall be healed | do not believe
that salvation is to come to the city from
above that is from the higher organization working
downwards. Again, the Gospel has TO do what once
IL did for the world-go down TO the poor and neg
