To no purpose all your suing,

Sirs. Jones’s Trial.
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. ’
