We are Indebted to Mr. J. P. Bircroft, of
Story Firm, for a copy of the Eltihth An
uual Import of tb Columbia Oil Company.
The report la very full and complete, and
represents tbo arTiiirs of tbe Company to be
in a very flourishing condition. By it we
learn that the. total amount of oil produced
tn in iaim tor ma vear isii9 lsi am
barrels; average daily production 857 bar-
reit; oM4 wells drilled in 18C9, 11 wete
productive. The report says: The devel
opment! of the Company have been contin
ned steadily. The producing wells com
pleted In 1SC0 were not law: but it is en.
cooraging to know that eight of them were
drilled ou territory winch was heretofore
not known to be valuable, and a greater
number of paying wells obtained, lu pro.
portion to the whole number drilled, than
ilurlni? anv nrevlnnu vunr A I lh ni--.. r

tho year SO aells were being pumped, and
for several m.mtha
28. Four sets of drillers were kept con
stantly employed, and fuur wells as near as
possible uuder way all the time. To run
tbe wells a force of 103 men were required.
Tre producing territory of the Company is
beiog extended annually, with favorable re
sults. The average price per barrel of oil
delivered during the year waa $5,48. Tue
auoi.nt of dividends declared during tbe
year was $125,000.

The Sherman farm, adjoining ttie

and one drilling. The average production
of each is about eight barrels a day; it is

The following extract from a story writ
ten by George D. Prontice In bis early days
wis read to him on nit deathbed. It ha a
special interest for all admirers of the de
ceased journalist :
"Itoanootbe tbat earth is man's onlv
abiding place. It cannot be that our life
is a bubble east up by the ocean ol oteriii
ty to float a moment upon its wares and
sink into nothingness. Else why il is thai
lue nigh and glorious aspirations which.
leap like angels from tbe temple of our
heart are forever wandering unsatisfied?
n hy is it tbat the raiubow and cloud como
over ns with a beauty that is not of earth,
viid then pats off to leave us to uiuso oil
their loviiuess? Why is it that the stars
which "bold tbelr festival around the mid
night thrones" are set above the trust) or
our limited faculties, forever mocking us
with their unapproachable glory? And
finally, why is It that brlubt forms of beau
ly aie pri'iented to our view and taken from
us, leaving tho thousand stream of our af-
lectlun to now Dae it like an Alpino torrent
upen too beam we are born tor a limber
distiny than tbat of earth. There is
realm wbero the rainbow never fide?, where
the stars will soread befote us like the is
lauds that slumber on toe ocean, a;:d where

live audieuco was in attendance at tin

tormance of the domestic drama in live

t,y Sherry's inimitable and popular com
pany, Mrs. Julia Bluke as 'Fauchou" trus
cburniinir, end acted the chaiacter to per
fection, winning tbe highest compliments
aud tbe hearty anplause of all uresent. Mr.
J. F. Sherry as "iiandry Darbeaud" never
performed better, and was also the recipient
ot many manib stations of oraise. Mr o
W. Blake as 'Didiet" the true brother l
Landry, was splendid, and acted bis ai t
a u own original and aosurpnssed manner.
Mr G. Ferris as "Father Barbeaud'' could
not bave been improved. Mrs. S. A. Buker
as "Fadel" was cf the test representations
of that character wo bave ever witnessed,
her conception of the part is truly grand.
Miss Dollie I'ike us "Madelen," added Tresh
Ihurels to her fame as u charming aud
veiSiitile Bclrts?, and tbe remainiun mem
bers of tbe company did their prettiest. Iu
fiict the Dram has never been presented,
in better s'jle than it was last evening.
This evening the last night of the seasnn
will bo bo presented a rousing bill, consist
ins of tbe Willow Copse and the Spectre
Bridegroom, with Mr. J. F. Sherrv and Mrp.
Julia Biako in ti e loading roles. No doubt
the hall will be crowded to its utmost ca
pacity with the admirers and friends of thi.
company to give them a '-bumper at part

But taking the years together, my dear,
There isn't more cloud than sun.

But taking the years together, my' dear,
You will always find tho May. '
We bave had our May, my darling,
And our roses, long ago,
And the time of life is coining, good wife,
For the silent night aud suow.
And God is God, my darling

And we feel aud know that we can go
Wherever he leads the way.
