Jones, a former real. dent of New Bedford, Mass., tbe principal whaling port of the United States, we are Indebted for a copy ol tbe New Bedlord Slaodard. From It ws gather that tbe whaling business for 1872, shows III success a to pecuniary returns. The borne con sumption ol wbale oil bss fallen off gteatly during tbe year jnat dosed, while tbe for eign detnasd baa been very email. Of tbe one hundred and filty-sls whalers at sea one hundred and elevea are from New Bed ford. Of tbe aixiy-seven finished voyager, only two or three bave resulted In baodaome profits to their owners, many ol wbcm bave lost money. Tbe whaling fleet la steadily deoreatiug la numbers, principally by tbe transfer of many ol tbe vessels Into other business. Tbe sperm whalers were ooly moderately successful, and tba other braoeb of whale Isblog cannot be successful. Dura ing 171, 91,244 b.rrels of oil were taken aod X 10, 876 lb ofwbalebooe, which in all respects is a great falling offal conspired with tbe returns of the previous year. There are 204 whalers owned in the diOer eat ports of tne country, and tbe figures given above include alt tbe great whaling ports. The '-Cozy Saloou," with Billiard Room attached, kept by that jolly pair honest old Clint. Robson and Georgey Arnold, is now lo full tide and doing a prosperous business.

After old Cliot. tells yon of bis sea voyages down tbe Creek, and of tbe maoy happy days gone by, yon can enjoy yourself listening to George getting "bunk witb the roundets" aatbey try to stand him off for tbe beer.

From tbe Pittsburgh Commercial we copy tbe following In regard to tbe future devel opments la tbe down rirer region. But little disposition to drill this terri tosy is sbown, tbe price of oil offering no in dacement. Tie owners of large wells csb afford to produce low priced oil, but the uncertainty of getting such wells will serve as a strong check for some time ta come. During Deoember and January there was undouoledly a large docrease In production) owing to ibe cold weather and tbe inability of pipe liues lo pipe tbe oil, and It it possible tbat tba wells approscblng completion, even If large, will not materially Increase It, as there la a great falling off in the alder portloos of Ibe district. The best lofortned operators era eoafidsat tbat front various oaiises better prices will prevail la Ike spring, and certainly If oa wells are started for ibe next three months there 1st fair prospect tbat such will be tbe fact. The country bas been chiefly developed by combinations of Individuals, some ven Hires being divided into sixteenths, but there are a few firms who makes regular business of it, although tne partners occas ionally bave individual outside interests. Tbe most prominent gentlemen engaged in developing territory here, many of whom acquired local reputation at Pithole in 18G5, are Dlmlck, Nesbltt & Co., S. D. Kama. C. D. Angell, Parker, Thompson & Co , Lam bing Brothers. l'isber Brothers, Campbell Brothers, Tack Brothers, Moorbead A Rip ley, Robert Leokey, H. W. Scott, original owner of tbe Hi. Scott farm at Fagundas, and F. F. A. Wilson. I bad almost omitted meution of Fair view aod Greece City. The Ural named li'S about a mile west of this oity, and bas about live hundred inbabltants. It is an old town, but bas had a good deal of life lotused into it by tba irreslble operators. Greece City is tbe settlement on the Jami son farm at tbe very front of development. It is a small towu as yet, but witb every new stiike it will expand, and probably ere six moatbs bave elapead will be tbe lead ing town in this section. The old town of Butler Is begiuolog to awake from a letbar gio sleep, and should it be found tbat tbe belt does not ruo out, the present year will witness great changes there.
