OIL IN MISSOURI A very fl 'ttering pros.
pect for petroleum is found about four miles
west of GU ny, in Hickory county, Missouri
Tbe discovery Of the richness OF the pros
pect was made by Mr.. Henry of Wheat
land, late of the oil region OF West Vir-
ginia. The neighbors have been in the
habit of greasng their Wagons with oil
found there some time past. Messrs Henry
aud Cooke have leased the lands for twenty
years, and have sent Tor machinery TO open
wells. Mr.. Henry has had large experience
in the oil region in West Virginia, and is
very sanguine Of success. He also diacoy-
cred another good prospect near Humans
vile short time ago Coal oil has been
struck,in many parts of Vernon County in
boring for water. Messrs Fuller, Jones,
Pinegar, Nash and four other farmers In
the same neighborhood, all living South
west OF Nevada, have bored wells from
which oil in small quantities was obtained
at first. But their object being to obtain
water, the wells were partly reflled in Or
der to shut ont the oil.

From oil appearances the first bit Of
British America that "inevilable destiny"
ia likely to annex to the United States, is
the region Of the Red River of ths North,
though it must be confessed that the people
Ofthe Dominion of Canada are making rap
id strides towards representation in Lie
Senate aud HOUSE of Representatives at
Washington. Riel's flasco Is said to have
terminated in an attempt at closer politi-
Cal union between the Red Piver country
aud the Dominion, but unfortunately topo-
graphy interferes with that. By land and
water, by railroad, steamboat, forest trail
and bark canoe, it is farther from Ottawa
10 Fort Garry, through British possessions
than it is from Washington, via the United
States, to Fort Garry. Not In actual dis
lance, maybe, but in time and in facilities
for travel. To get around this difficulty
some enthusiastic Britons have proposed to
build a railroad from Ottawa 10 the Red
River aud on through British territory. 10
the Pacific. Imagine railroad lhroug b
the rough, wintry and almost tenantless
country north of Lake Superior I,would
certainly be the most wonderful achieve
ment OF English engineering, for it would
be the most expensive work yet attem pied
and would not need station ottener than
every five hundred or one thousand miles
The fact is, there is only one avenue Of
communication between the people of Riel's
late dominion and the civilized world, and
that is via the United States and
the Red River valley. As we said
above, topography interferes witb Can.
adian schemes and is the strongest ally of
American annexation.

Immigration from Foreign Countries.

Mr. Frederick Rapp, in his work on
immigration and the Commissioners of
Immigration of the State of New York, -
gives the following interesting statistics
1.-THE number of emigrants who have
arrived at the port of New York from May
9Th, 1s47, to January list, 1870, is no less
than 4, 297, $50. Adding to the capital value
of $1125 represented by every emgrant
$3.50 per head for the average value of per-
sonal property brought, as l have shown,
by each, we find that immigration increased
the national wealth, in the stated period
by more than five billions of dollars, or
more than twice as much as the present
amount of the national debt The total
immigration into the United States being
now at the rate Of 800, 600 souls per year,
the country gains nearly four hundred mil
lions of dollars annually, OF more than one
million per day."
The following table will show the num-
bers and nationality of the immigrants that
arrived at the port of New-York from 1S47

WARNING TO HUsBANDs.-The great
want of women at present is meney-money
for their personal wants, and money to
carry out their plans. propose that they
shall earn, that they shall consider it as
honorable to work for money as for beard,
aud demand that the bearing and rearing
Of children, the most exacting of employ
ments, and involving the most terrible
risks, shall be the best paid work in the
world, and husbands shall treat their wives
with at least as much consideration, and
acknowledge them entitled to as much
money as wet nurses.
The meaning Of this is, that wives are
about to strike for greenbacks; SO msch
for every baby born. No greenbacks, no
more sons and daughters. No greenbacks,
no more population, no more boys to carry
on the great enterprises of the age. The
scales of prices for maternal duties are as
