In 1861, Mr. Pratber aod Mr. Thomas H. DuDcati, both of Plumer, were tbe lucky purchasers of tbe femout Holmdan (arm, on Pltbole Creek, upon which wai (truck tbe celebrated United States, Pool, Grant, and finer flowing Weill of great notoriety These gentlemen amassed prinealy fortunes from tbe Und Intereit of that firm In re ceipts from the oil . produced, sod finally' from tbe sale of, tbe land Interest to a Chi cago company for tbe fabulous sum of one and a half mll'ion dollars. Botb geoilemen were In 111 health at that time, and steadily but surely Ibat mortal soli has grown weak er, until a abort time since from a distant land, thousands of miles ftooi tbe ''dear eld borne" aod home friends and kindred, came tbe sad announcement of tbe death of Mr. : Denean. Scarcely bad bis remains been deposited In their final resting place, when tbe sorrowful Intelligence comes to us an nouncing the death of George C. Pratber, and bringing aadnest and mourning to a large circle of friends and relatives. In nearly every respect Mr. Pratber was a model and exemplary man. Young, ex traordinarily energetic, with no confirmed habits, and strictly mersl, be fougbt tbe battle of life nobly from poverty to wealth without, blemish of character, and It can be truly said vA good ojau, a faithful trlaod, and an bonest upright. citizen, has passed "over tbe dark river to the sbinlsg strand beyond" and is at test. -''Light be tbe turf above bit manly breast, Ilia slumbers peaceful, undisturbed, se rene Fast flowing tears bedew bis place of rest, Aid loving besrts shall keep bit memory green..'

This is an average or 1328 per mat, or about 21 per cent, on the capital Invested, without taking Into cuo, slderallon tbe deductions to be made for seamen's Wge end other expenses. Tbe tame amount of money Invested lu tb Pennsylvania oil regions would put Into op eration 380 wells, requiring no greater num. 'er of men to work them. Say these wells produce 1140 Barrels daily, wbith Is far be. low tbe average price would be worth l,uu,UO0 This would be an average or f 1,148 per m.n for the same nnmher of meo we And on the whaling fleet or nearly 74 per cent, on the capital invested. Tbte. I( also without deductions for wages. Ac , bit tbe expenses of tbe petroleum oil business are no greater than those of the whale ell business. Tbe per ceotage or pecuniary risk is no greater In Pennsylvania tbaa In tbe Arotie teas, while tbe hardships and risk of life are almost wholly in tbe whaling busi nest.
