RECENT telegram from Utica, to the N.
Y Times is of the following sensational char
acter: "Seven years ago the farmers OF
section Of Marcy, a township in Oneida
county AUDITING on Utica, became excited OF
alleged discoveries of oil. Henry Kimelein
owns a farm about six miles from Utica.
From surface indications he concluded that
he had erich fnd'' Of oil. A local COM
pany was organized and bored 500 feet.
Gas came up plenteously and burned from
pipes brilliantly. Recently oil experts came
from Pennsylvania, examined the ground
and declared the surface indications includ-
ing what is known as coil .stone,' sedimen-
tary formation, unusually good. To-day
Thompson & Coates oil operators of Erie,
Pa, leased 1000 acres Of the land and will
sink wells before August 1. Fifteen farms
are covered by tho lease. Practical oil men
find on the land of James Potter the largest
oil stone' they have ever seen, and the
town is excited over the prospect. Thomp-
son g. Coates are trying to lease the farms
covering about $4,000 acres. The matter
has been kept very quiet and so far Utica
capitalists know nothing about it." Upon
this the Times quietly but specifically remarks:
''There is no objection to the frequent di-
rection of the attention of the country to the
treasures, opportunities, advantages, beauties
and belongings of Oneida county; but the
scheme here held forth is not new and will
probably leave the interests OF the Pennsyl-
vania oil regions mistaken"
ARTEMUs WARD had poorly painted pan
Drama. When anything especially poor
came up he would look admiringly at 1t, and
then with a look of reproach to the audience
remark: ''This picture is a great work of
art; it is an oil painting done in petroleum.
1t is by the old masters. 1t was the last they
did before dying They did this and then
expired. wish you were nearer 1t so you
could see it better. wish could take it to
your residences and let you see it by day.
light. Some of the greatest artists in Lon
don come here every morning before day
light, with lanterns, to look at it. They say
they never saw anything like it before, and
they hope they never will again." Then,
pointing to some brown splashes of paint:
''These are intended for horses; know they
are, because the artist told me so. After
two years he came to me and said :'Mr. Ward
l cannot conceal it from you any longer.
They are horses F"
THE following was a remark of the recent
ly deceased Bishop Simpson,: ''The church
must grope her way into the alleys and
courts and purlieus of the city, and up the
broken staircase, and into the bare room,
and beside the loathsome sufferer; she must
go down into the pit with the miner, into
the forecastle with the sailor, into the tent
with the soldier, into the shop with the me-
chanic, into the factory with the operator,
into the field with the farmer, into the
countiug-room with the merchant. Like
the air the church must press equally on all
the surfaces of society, like the sea- flow in
to every nook of the shore-line of humanity;
and like the sun, shine on things foul and
low as well as fair and high, for she was Or
ganized, commissioned and equipped for
the moral renovation of the whole world.n
