Mr. Jones was married. He had been married a ioiig time, ever since he couid remember, almost. The first Mrs. Jone 3 was a pretty school-boy lovej and died early. Mr. Jones was inconsolable for more than six 1 months, and then, find ing the burden of his griefs too heavy to be borne alone, decided to share his re grets with a sympathizing friend. The connection was a happy one for jnany years, but alas for tne mutability of earthly pleasure. Mr. Jones was again a widower at the age of forty, and being extremely lonely, and having the habit of marrying, he offered his broken life and bereaved affections of Miss Patience Korcross,a mature young lady of thirty. We have said that Mr. Jones had a habit of being married, and it had so grown upon him that, had Providence opened the way, he would in all proba bility have followed up a series of bereavements with a succession of consolations. But in selecting Miss Pa tience he had no regard to compatibility of temper. He had never thought any thing about it. His other marriages had been happy accidents, and so far as he knew and reflected, that was the order of nature. But Miss Patience had a habit, too, and it was in accordance with her name,forit was a failing that leaned to virtue’s side, and beyond it. She lived in the remote and in the future. The present with her was never any thing but a makeshift, a mere tempo rary expedient till better times. Dis tance not only lent enchantment to her objects of pursuit, but was absolutely the only charm to which she was sensi tive. She really liked Mr. Jones almost up to the hour of his proposals; she meekly tolerated him ever after. They were at boarding for a time, and the wife said submissively to all her jfriends, “Oh, yes, it is very comfort able for the present, till we feel able to keep house.” Mr. Jones, after the re remark had been reiterated for the fiftieth time, asserted that he was able to keep house. To prove this, be en gaged and furnished a tasteful tene ment, and another year saw Miss Patience the patient mistress of her own fireside. “What a pleasant situation!” said Dame Grundy, as she Galled on a tour of inspection. “Why, yes,” returned Mrs. Jones “it is all We can expect in a house we hire. If we were to build we should plan very differently, of course; and, then, you know, one could have the heart to make improvements in shrubbery and fruit trees. Oh, Mrs. Grundy, I hope to live long enough to have a house of my own.” Mr. Jones was well to do and good natured. Moreover, he was a little ob tuse, as we have seen, and did not per ceive that something to pat up with, is with some of us a practical necessity. So he said very generously: “Mrs. Jones, in another year you shall have a house of your own.” “I am afraid you could not afford to build such a house as I would like.” “I cau and I will. You shall make the plan yourself, or draw a new one if you prefer.” Mrs. Jones sighed, “It will take so long in building;” and from that hour every rational enjoyment was deferred till they should get into their new dwell ing. There were the usual delays and disappointments, and Mrs. Jones’s love of endurance was fully gratified; she was regaled with a lingering sweetness long drawn out. ■ At length the house was built and far ' nished.the grounds laid out'and'planted, and jthe wheels of the new establishment fairly in motion. Moreover, by rare good lues, there was very little to alter or undo; most of the arrangements were desirable, and' the experiments suc cessful. “I hope, my dear,” said Mr. Jones, benevolently, “that we are in a condi tion to take comfort.” “If we ever get settled,” assented Mrs. Joneß, with a sigh. Well, years rolled on, and they were settled. The flowers bloomed, and the fruit ripened. The turf thickened into velvet, and the trees grew tall and cast a welcome shade. Strangers paused to admire the premises as they passed, and paid their various tributes of envy and admiration. Mr. Jones smoked his prime cigar in the back piazza, and grew to look portly and contented. Not so with Mrs. Jones. To all the enco* miums lavished upon her residence she replied submissively. “Yes, it’s a pretty place, but we don’tknow whom we built it for.' We have no children to come after us,and are just putting up ments for strangers to pull down.” Was ever a woman so favored with an indulgent fortune? Within a year from the utterance of this remark, Mrs. Jones was the happy—no, the patient mother of a real genuine glorious baby. Mr. Jones, who had with difficulty refrained from happiness before, was uncontrol ably jubilant now. The boy was healthy, and handsome, and bright. There was no mistake about him; he was a fixed fact, a star of the first magnitude. He had wants, it is true, for which the fond father was intently thankful, for to gra tify and prevent them was his supreme delight. But the mother! Alas! hers were all a mother’s cares, anxieties and fore bodings. Till the child was weaned she scarcely left the house, or indulged in the simplest luxuries of diet. Then were was the long period of teeth cut ting; during which her maternal anxie ties'were never appeased. Then she lived in fear of measles, whooping cough, and scarlet fever, till the.young hero met and conquered them all. He •grew round and rosy, and she thin and Anxious, hut still unalterable patient, THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.—PHILADELPHIA. MONDAY, DECEMBERI7,IB66.—TRIPLE SHEET. At school she feared he might study too much or too little, and its her fears were pretty equally divided between the two perils, it is presumed that he avoided both., ' ;,l Then she had a general misgivlng lest he should be spoiled, and from too much petting at home become an indolent and useless member of society. But,' though the reader may share her fear' in this re gard, Master Jones falsified .them all. Indulgence and opportunity seemed to agree with hiihi. He was ambitious and self-reliant,andnot objectionably wilful. When at last he decided to study for a profession, the mother fitted but his wardrobe-with reluctant care, and the first letter she received from college was moistened with some more than the fall proportion of her maternal teats'. “I amglad he is doing well,” she said, in reply to a remark from her husband, “but I miss him more than I can tell you. Since we have only one we could but wish he could have staid with us. The seven years of his student life are very long to wait.” “ To wait for what?” inquired Mr. Jones. “For the good time coming,” replied his wife. “Why, woman, the good time has come long ago. Can’t you see : it? We’ve been having it all along.” “It may he... so with you, Mr. Jones, but I have never been free from anxiety for a minute in my life.” , “And yeu will never be, my dear,” replied Mr. Jones, as he shook the ashes from his cigar. “It is positively your strongest poinv, and I have quite an ad* miration for your Bkill in it. You will find more to submit to in any given circumstances than any woman I have ever known.” Mrs. Jones raised her eyes to her husband’s face in meek surprise. She forgave him and was silent. Mountain Oil Wells. [From the Oil City Register,] The most remarkable feature of the oil development daring the season just passed, is the drilling of oil wells on the sides and summits of the hills, in the va rious producing localities. At the commencement of the oil de velopment, wells were located immedi ately upon the edges of the various streams themselves. The most favorable locations being soon occupied, forced those who came in afterward to locate their wells upon the flats and the edge of the bluffs. Taking the average of large producing wells the location has not dif fered materially. It wa3 not until the last year that any general development has been prosecuted upon the hills. The theory advanced by us three years ago, that oil existed in the hills as well as the valleys of this favored'locality, met with great ridicule. The large pro ducing wells on the Stevenson, the bluff portion of the Tarr,Story and James Mc- Cray farms, at Pithole, Pioneer. Bun, Bennehoff,. and other localities, prove amply the truth of our prediction. In ail cases where any general devel opment has taken place on the hills, the average of good producing wells will fa vorably compare with that’ of wells lo cated upon the fiats. The depth of these wells have varied from 650 to 850 feet. The different strata of rock met with by the miner in boring these moun tain wells, does not difler materially from that of the flats. Our theory in regard to the existence of oil in the hills, admits of a practical solution. From every indication of the surlace of the Oil Begion, we conclude that the valleys have been formed by erosion, or the action of water. If this view is correct, the -strata in hills are in all material respects similar to that of the valleys. Oil has been found in the first, second, and third Band-rocks of the hills, the same as in the valleys, though not as yet in as great quantities. There being such a material similarity in all the main features, it is safe to assume that our hills contain as much oil as the valleys. The wells will have to be drilled deeper, but with the present rate of improvement in mining machinery, this difference in expense as compared with the wells in the valleys will be trifling. The production of the Venango oil region, judgingfrom the best statements we can get, for the year 1866, foots up about 2,500,000 barrels, of 42 gallons each. If the hills are developed to the same extent as the valleys, the produc tion can be increased to an almost in definite amount. The verification of the existence of oil in the hills adds greatly to the value of oil lands in every locality of this region. The field of ope rations, when a steady and. remunerative demand occurs, will be largely extended, and the volume of general business in creased in like ratio. The time is not far off when the de mon for Petroleum Oil will be fully equal to the supply. The markets of the world will require all that can be pro duced. The price of the article at present seems too low. But there is a general depression in all branches of trade, and the high prices, fictitious as they nave proved, react with crushing force upon Eetroleum, as well as other articles. A etter feeling exists in the financial world since the meeting of Congress. Wise legislation in regard to the nation al finances is expected from them. If this hope is realized, all will be well,and tii •> business men of the country saved fro u financial embarrassment and ruin. We have every hope for the future! The danger of obtaining too much oi l has no weight now. Temporary fluc tuations will occur of course, and lo v prices rule. But with prudent manage ment on the part of producers au l dealers, an average remunerative busi ness can always be relied on in this trade. The shipments to Europe this year, footing up the large amount of 61,000,000 of gallons, will only create a demand for more. It i 3 clear that this large amount has not been purchased by foreigners for speculative purposes merely but by far the greater part is for consumption. There is now but little abatement in the amount of shipments to foreign ports, which is certainly a cheering indication for the future of the article of petroleum. The man who owns oil lands, and has them paid for, is a lucky fellow. His realization of wealth is only a matter of a short time. Remains of a Murdered Hon Found— Body Identified. Between three and four years ago, a Ger man watchmaker named John Morall, a resident of Butler, and formerly a resident of Kittanning, this latter place being his first location upon the arrival of himself an d family from Germany, whilst on an itiner ant watch repairing or peddling trip-to Brady’s Bend, suddenly disappeared, since which time all efforts of his family to get some trace of him had proven fruitless. The supposition was that he had .either left the country or been robbed and mur dered, as be. was known to carry about with him 'considerable.: money and some valua ble watches. A few days ago the work men in excavating for the ratlroad' track, at the town of .Cunningham, on the east side of the Allegheny river. direotly oppo site Brady’s Bend, exhumed the body of a man which showed evidenoe of hasty burial. Portions of the clothing, 'the ooat. buttons and shoe buckles, were gathered. ...Morall’B wife was sent for, who at onoe identified the articles ab belonging to her husband. Thus all doubt as to the fate of the man has been' cleared up. That he was murdered there is no doubt, as neither money nor watch were found with him. The body had been hid deif and buried in a- “gully” which had gradually filled with debris washed in by heavy tains, until it was quite deeply im bedded. There are doubtless persons in that locality who know sometbiag about Morall’s sudden disappearance, and some effort should be made to-get at the- truth of the affair.— Pittsburgh Chronicle. ’ LUMBER.
