for US to say that We SANCTION ihe action

large majority Of Judge BARKER's poi'ti-
c,l opponents will vote for him, and tha,
he will be elected withou: opposition.
Mr. BARKER has made an able and i'm
partial Judge go far, and The people cannot
do better than by voting for him. We
have no doubt Of bis election.

indicating nssure OF that extent at least.
OF lie nature or cause Of these chinks or
iners,ices we know nothing; but doubt
less they are CONTINUOUS throughout the
entire extent of the baein. That petro
lenm occupies these same chlnks III the
elevated portion Of the strata, around the
border, there cannot be & doubt; and
that it follows the receding tide of salt
water is more than robsble-indeed, it
appears 10 be certain; for oil companies
are buying up the oil exhausted sa!t-we'ls
on the Conemaugh with the otject Of work
ing them as oil wells. There is ell in
them now, it is said, although when first
boied there Was none.
We think we have succeeded, by facts,
snd by pretty plausible theory, based
upon those facts, in indicating arhere pet

There are some who hold that it exudes
from coal in some way which no one has
been able to explain or even imagine but
the fac, tha. it is geologicaIly lower than
any known coal seams is a sufficient refu
tation Of that theory.
Others, and no: few, believe that it is
a product Of arcien. vegetation. But we
think this theory cannot be successfully
maintained, for 10 facts can be aduced in
support Of it, drawn from either geology
or chemistry. Indeed the theory Of the
vegetable origin OF coal has, we think,
been carried TOO far. We know that a
large proportion Of the constituents Of ceal
are made up of vegetable matter which
was preserved from petrfaction aud con-
verted into coal BY a large admix,are Of
some mineral substance analogous 10 this

I'VE BEEN THINKING.

I've been thinking, I've been thinking,
What glorious world were this,
Did folks mind their own business more,
And mind their neighbours less.
For instance, you and I, my friend,
Are sadly prone to talk
Of matters that concern us not,
And others follies mock.
I've been thinking, now, if we'd begin
To mind our own affairs,
That possibly our neighbors might
Contrive to manage theirs.
We've faults enough at home to mend
1t may be true Of others;
1t would be strange if it were not,
Since all mankind are brothers.
I would that we had charity
For every man and woman;
forgiveness is the mark of those
Who know "to err is human"
Then let US Danish Jealousy
Let's lift our fallen brother,
And as We journey down LIES road,
Do good to one another.

Children, do you love each other?
Are you always kind and true?
Do you always do to others
AS you'd have them do to you?
Are you gentle to each other?
Are you careful, day by day,
Not to give offence by actions,
Or by anything you say?
Little children, love each other,

Answer not in wrath again
Be not selfish to each other;
