Valcutliics.~Attention is called to the adver tisement of Valentines by Underbill A Campbell, wholesale and retail dealers in Books, Stationery Wall-paper, Ac., at Scranton This being leap-year, custom allows, or rather encourages the wearers of water falls and crinoline to tie love-kn-'ts with which to entangle the "opposition" in the matrimonial har ness—never more to kick out of the traces. And as they are both modest and sly-rather on the "Rarey" plan, in their operations, there will no doubt be a great demand for those suggestive, tender, and an emmtus missives, yclept, •'Valentines."

It contains ail the reconstruction acts of Congress—up to the present time- with the Veto Messages of the Presi dent, the returns of the several State Elections, by counties, for 1867 and previous years, uad other very valuable information which we have not time now to mention. NICHOLSON, Pa,. Jan 27, '63, MR. EDITOR : As you: columns are open for com munications, I concluded a communication from our flourishing village would not be amiss. .Some two weeks ago yon published a letter from here signed "B" and as it has not been replied too— only from tbe pulpit, at Stark's Church, by our State Lecturer, Rev Davidson, in which he branded • B" s a liar, scoundrel, Ac.,— knowing that he coulJ not be answered, as it was his meeting and on n Sabbath evet ing, iu a house dedicated to God.— It sounded sweet io hear the Rev. "Gcotleman'' use such epithets Our Lodge has it under considera tion to vote him a leather medal—that the good people of the State may know that he is no hypo crite, but a Christian minister of the first water. — We may hive some trouble passing the resolution through the l odge, M "our Minister" and brotbet N. wants ' B" wi[d out, and our "Worthy Chief not being competent to reply to "B's" eommmutiiea tion, may take strong ground against it Be that as it uiay—"B,' must he careful hereafter when be writes, or "Our Minister" rill us* his pulpit to vin dicate his character and expose "B" to his whole c-ngrcg ition. Now that Court week is over, and the desd and w-ainled gre picked up—our Lodge if at loss to know who came out victorious —the Templars or " Whiskyites" '■Capt'*." countenance looks like tbe small *ni of a gimblet and be is as pettish as a singed cat. Last night, with pencil and paper,he commenced figuring, said I— 'Capt." said I, "what on earth are you fig uring about." Said "Capt." said he, "I am footing up expenses, I want to see how much it has cost me to enforce our 'loundling,' the prohibitory law in this county against Billings." This account as sta ted showed the following asstounding result : DR. To August Court expenses, $119,50 " 21 days this term, two horses and sleigh at $5 00 per day, 105,00 " Services per self, at 1,50 per day,2l d*ys 31,50 " Expenses at Court, 5,50 por day, 5 days, 27,50 " Incidentals, ("Benzine," Ac.,) 7,374 Total $289,874 CR. By verdict "not guilty" but Billingi to pay costs of Prosecution, $67,314 Balance io favor of Billings 222,564 Now says the "Capt." says he, "the best thing us Tempi t rs can do is to get the law repealed or it will ruin every one of us, lor it is a dead letter on the statute books and cannot he enforced " Says I, ' Capt." says I, "just you present your bill to the Lodge and make them pay it." Says he, ''there is not one dollar in the Treasury." Says I, "if it had not been tor Bill, tbe bridga builder 1 and old 'C the shoemaker, we would have raised the price of initiation and monthly dues and had money in the Treasury. They t> talk about our charter not allowing our dues to be raised, and poor girl* not being able to pay an increased price, why its ridic ulous. anl the first chance we get to throw tbem cut of the Lodge we will do it ! We must get rid of ell tiaeh and purify the Lodge anl unless v. do so,we will not he 'respectable, and then il we can only get 'TV cod-fish to brand all left in the Lodge, we will be 'aristocratic' and the old Squire may fight Lord—on his own hook and to his heart's content, for he has a 'Gold Mine' and is ai !e to foot the hill.

Explosive (turning Flulde.— MA. EDITOR : Tbe following extracts from an art'cle in tbe Jan. ; number of the Boston Journal of Chemistry are from the pen of Dr- Jus. R. Nichols, and deserve at tention. " The accidents reported as kerosene-lamp explosions have becoma fearfully frequent of late. — No less than nine (several attended with fatal con sequences) have fallen under our notice since tba last issue of the Journal. This is a sad state of things; and when we remember they must all have occurred through the use of fraudulent liquids, we can but regard them as casualties which ought not !to have happened. * # * We think it fair to in ' ter, from information given, that nearly one half the | liquids u.-ed in the country are fraudulent and dnn ! gerous. A class of scoundrels are traveling about ! the country selling recipes for making cheap, inex- I plosire burning oils. They are called " Eureka," | " Carbou" or " Crystal" oils ; here are the directions for one of these. " Take 1 ox. camphor, J| oxs. oil I of spruce, 4 oz. alkanet root; dissolve and mix all | together in one gallon of benzine stirring well for i 10 m'BUtes; then ponr it into a barrel (40 | of benzine; stir till w ell incorporated and it is fit tor I use." This mixture is esseutiallv the same as has ! been sold under various names for several years. — ! Camphor is a combustible body and burns with a clear white light. Its solution in benzine or naptha | confers no desirable qualities; as tbe flame of ben zine when burnod with free access of air, is white and brilliant enough without iu It neither increas eg or diminishes the dangerous nature of beozine.— The oil of spruce is added to cover or change the odor of the liquid ; the alkanet root to color it.— Here we have a full exposure of the fraud. Is it not j detestable ? Any family using this or liquids of a kindred Diture. are jeopardizing their lives con- j stantly. The risk is a fearful one We wish to state what ' we think" of the man en- ' gaged in making or vending such liquids. He is a dangorous impostor; and wherever he appears or any one else, selling cheap oils, or recipes for mak- : ing them, have the parties arrested st once. A per son off .-ring for sale mixtures of Depths or benzine inflammable at less temperature tban 110 deg F, can be, under U. S. revenue law, punished by fine : nod imansonmect. We cannot reply to our kerosene correspondents j individually. 1 Let it be understood that there is , no substance or number of substances, known to | chemists, which can be adlel to benzine, gasolene or Daptha, capable of rendering them safe, without destroying their combustibility or illuminating prop . erties. 2. All illuminating oils offered for sale at ; less tban a fair market price tor standard kerosene, 1 should be looked upon with suspicion. 3. Do not be deceived by charlatans who, to prove the safe char acter of thoir oils, thrust lighted tapers or matches into lamps or into the vapor. The vapor of these liquids must be mixed vith atmospheric air in order j to explode. It is difficult to secure the right condi- . lions for explosive action. We have often repeated j an experiment a dozen times before we asulJ secure the right mixture. If it were otherwise, a thousand 1 accidents would occur where there is now but one. ! Many uf tbe " explosions" reported we bars fouDd upon investigation not to be accidents of that nature- I Tbe injury inflicted was caused by tbe inflammable nature of the liquid, which, through breakage of the lamp or spilling, had fallen upon clothing or furni ture, and in an ignited condition. There is as much, perhaps more, to fear from tbe easily inflammable character of light oils, thun from the explosion of air-mixed vapors. They are dangerous, however, in erery aspect, and should not be harbored in fami lies for a single instant.

"As purely literary works, these historical ro mances possess a high degree of merit. They read like g- cuine histories." Catholic World. They are correct descriptions of the countries and tbe people described.— Herald. 11. They are Entertaining. We regard these books as among the best ant] most entertaining novels of tbe day.— Springfield Republican- The render 13 at onre fascinated and held spell bound ontil the volume is completed— Free Press There is no dull chapter in it.— Utica Herald. Hl.—They are Mirrors of the Times. No one can peruse them without conceding tbe author's great skill in grasping and delineating the characters which figure conspicuously in them, The study which enables the author to delineate so accurately the emotions and incentives to action which moved men and women of a past age must be close and untiring, and Louisa Muhlbach shows in all of her works a perfection which carries the read er into the very pretence of the characters represen ted. — Syracuse Journal, IV.—They are Historically Correct. Historically correct, and as entertaining as many of the volumes of Sir Walter Scott.— Providence Harald. Louisa Muhlbach must have carefully and delight fully studied the secret histories of the times and countries of which she writes, and ber task is done well and effectively.--Worcester Spy. No Historical Novelist has labored so faithfully and successfully to reproduce a complete picture of past times and events.— I'tica Herald. V.—They are Original. * it has agreeably surprised readers to find a new writer with such constructive genius end knowledge of character as Louisa Muhlbach possesses .—Public Ledger. Each succeeding novel adds to Mrs. Mundt's repu tation as a writer of historic fiction— N. Y. Times Vl. They are Full of Imagination. She is nut ooly the skilful joiner; b a neat-han ded artizan.— Christian Witness. There is seldom any straining aftereffect, hut it if really wonderful bow Madame Mundt manages to sustain and increase the interest to the end City Item. The worl-pain ting of the nuthoress'is much more effective than the best efforts of the engrave:.—llli nois State Register. VTI.— They Contain Anecdotes of Courts. Scottish history offered no fresher and more ro mantic material to the magic working band of Sir Walter Scott than fhe finds in the annals of the German Courts.— Evening Gazette. There are not to be found anywhere in human an nals, unused, such magnificent, such superabundant materials for romance, as dog the chronicles of the Prussian and Austrian courts of the 18th century. By their dress, their manners, their modes of tho't, their language, they are almost as much separated from us as if they had lived one thousand years ago---Observer. Vill.—They tell of Emeperors, Kings & Queens. We learn from her not only how Frederick Will iam and Frederick the Great, Joseph the Second, Voltaire, Rousseau, Baron. Treu k, the Empress Catherine, walked and talked in their grand roles. but bow they powdered their hair, flirted, and took tea.— Register. The choice of her subjects exhibits her genius She takes the time of Frederick the Great, Joseph the Second, for example, and upon the background of facts which the chronicles of the periods affords she embroiders the bright and sombre colors, the light and shale of her fiction, with the skill of a con summate artist— The Eagle- IX.—The Style is Interesting. The style of this writer for purily, perspicuity, and elegance, is something greatly to be commended. It is free from imitations, mannerisms, and tricks oi every kind The Argus. The translations do justice to the vivid, piquant style of the original; and the story is full of move ment and crowded with instructive and entertaining incident.— The Chicago Post. The interest of the book does not depend upon its characters nor its incidents, nor yet on its charming style, but in its generul harmony of composition.— Day Book. X.—Everybody is Reading theih. Our people seem to have stopped reading French novels, and English works are complained of as dull. Miss Muhlbach precisely supplies the public want. The novels of Cllra Mundt are being read by ev ery one — Times Muhlbach's novels have a world-wide reputation, nntl are read with avidity, as fast as issued from the press Springfield Republican. They tire winning a wide ami deserved popularity in this country.— State Journal.
