The Use of Coal---A Cuiious Delusion..
The anthracite coal of Pennsylvania has
been used for only thirty-one years, and yet
the consumption amounts already to the enor
mous figures of 3,500,000 tons: The Phila
delphia correspondent of the New York Tri
bune, relates the following most extraordina
ry facts respecting the prosicution which the
first person suffered who brought the first
sample of coal to Philadelphia. It is hardly
credible :
Thirty-one years ago, the first coal came
to Philadelphia—being ten wagon loads,
hauled over the mountains by George Shoe
maker, of Pottsville. Few could be induced
to purchase it, and. most of these were whol
ly unsuccessful in their attempts to make it
burn. Everybody considered it a mere stone.
Mr. Shoemaker was denounced in all quar
ters as a cheat, and measures were taken to
arrest him for swindling ; but he escaped
arrest by leaving the city by a circuitous
Conte.
The most remarkable features in this ex
traordinay speculation, was that Mr. Shoe
maker himself, did not know how to make
the coal burn. He was therefore unable to
to convince the public that it would ignite.—
Had he experimented at home, and brought
with him a grate or stove, in which to kindle
a successful fire, the exhibition would have
no doubt, hastened, full ten years the devel
opment of, the coarbusiness. He returned
home disgusted at the beligerent temper of
our citizens, and heart sick at the ill-success
of his adventure. His reputation as an hon
est man, was rescued, however, by an iron
master in Delaware county, into whose hands
some of the repudiated mineral fell. He
tried the coal, caused it to burn freely, and
with intense heat, and was so pleased with it
that he proclaimed the fact in the newspa
pers. This led others to try, and they also
succeeded, the prejudice was removed, and
consumption went on from this beginning
until it last year reached the enormous quan
tity 3,436,862 tons.
Slifgular Desertion of a Young Married
Lady.
A Scotehman of the name of J. J. Clark,
a few years ago, upon the death of his father,
(a wealthy Glasgow merchant, who had been
- engaged in the West India trade,) became
possessed of a handsome fortune. Shortly
afterward, he married a young Scotch lady
of education, engaging manners, and pre
possessing appearance, with whom he came
to this country about six months ago, and
after visiting all the principal cities and
places of interest, recently went to Philadel
phia and made a sojourn there of about three
weeks, during which period they stopped at
the house of Mrs. Stanley, No. 307 Spruce
street, where Mr. Clark privately prepared
himself during the visits of his wife among
her a,equaintances. When ready fur a start,
he accompanied his wife to the residence of
one of her friends, and there left her under
pretence of going to see a ship launched,
when he returned to his boarding house and
- barrled "off' his baggage, and with his servant
'started for parts unknown, taking with him
'his wife's . - watch and jewelry, and leaving
behind him a letter addressed to his wife,
'wishing,her " Good-bye," and enclosing $lO.
Mrs. Clark, after telegraphing to the police
of this "city, immediately came on to New
-York.- The case was given to officer King to
, work up. He soon ascertained that Mrs. C.
'had only $2 of the $lO left, whereupon he
invited the distracted young lady (for she is
yet only• 19 years old,) to go to his house and
• become one of his family while he was en
gaged in ferreting out some information for
her. The first clue of the runaway was, that
he had put up at Lovejoy's Hotel, under the
name of Muir—that, with his servant, he
had.started for Albany the day before. Upon
this discovery, Mrs. Clark, provided with a
passage ticket, started for Albany in pursuit.
On her arrival there, she ascertained that her
faithless liege lord had stopped one day and
night at Stan.wix Hall, and while there he
had got his servant into a state of intoxica
tion, and then given him the slip, starting off
westward alone, and that the servant, on
coming to his senses, had gone in pursuit of
his master. Mrs. C. followed in the light
ning train, and ere this, it is hoped and be
lieved, she will have overtaken her truant
husband. What motive Mr. C. can have had
for thus singularly attempting to desert his
wife, is quite a mystery.-11: Tribune,

Singular Attachment of One Bird for
Another--A Crow Starving Himself
to Death
.-- - - -
.• .Some weeks since, Mr. Pratt, the senior
proprietor of the Spencer house, owned an
owl and a crow that had appatently formed
a , deep attachment for each other. They
were always together, and seemed to hold a
kind of mutual conversation, which, however
unintelligible to others, must have given
them great satisfaction. The crow would
often bring food to the owl, and was always
anxious to do some act that would prove ac
ceptable. The firm friendship existing be
tween the two birds, was the subject of gen
eral remark by the guests and habitues of
the hotel ; who frequently watched them by
the hour. Their intimate association and
kindness were really curious to witness, and
elicited many speculations upon the nature
of birds and their capability of affection.
One day the owl fell ill, and the crow,
ever at his side, expressed as much sorrow and
sympathy as a human creature could, appeal
ing ever and anon by looks to passers-by, as
if inviting aid and comfort to his sick friend.
The owl was dangerously indisposed for
nearly a week, and at the termination of that
period died, in spite of every effort of the
crow to prolong his existence.
• The crow was inconsolable. Nothing could
banish the memory of his feathery friend,
and little doubt exists in our mind, that had
lie been a poet, he would have written an
other "Adonis," or "In Memoriam," upon
his mournful bereavement. lle would eat
nothing—no savory morsel could tempt him,
and the choicest bits of his favorite food lay
near him, day and night, untouched: The
dark lustre of the eyes of the lamenting fowl
grew dimmer and dimmer ; his diminutive
legs, weaker and weaker ; famine was in
his every aspect ; but still he would not eat.
In the flippant language of the day, he
would "die first"—and he did.
One morning; early, the senior proprietor,
who was much attached to both the owl and
the crow, found the latter lying lifeless in
the court-yard. The poor bird. was nothing
but bones, not a particle of flesh remaining
beneath his ebony plumage. The crow had
been true to his friendship as an ornithologi
cal Orestes, and had resolutely conquered,
with heroic self-denial, a life not worth pro
snrving after the loss of his "other soul"—
the owl.— Cincinnati Enquirer.
Probable Murder
An unknown man was found lying on the
track opposite Mr. Wood's Hotel in Altoona,
on Wednesday morning. He was first dis
, covered, about five o'clock, with life entirely
extinct. It was thought by some that he
had been murdered, and by others that he
fell in attempting to get on the Express train
going east. There were no scars or bruises
on his person, with the exceptions of a wound
received on the left side of his head, which
fractured his skull, and caused death. The
wound was evidently given with a slung shot
or some other round or blunt instrument.—
From letters and other documents about his
person, it is thought that he hails from Chi
cago ; he had also a ticket from that place
to New York, and had in his possession thir
ty-nine dollars in quarters and halves. He
is stout built, and about five feet six inches
in height. His name is supposed to be D. T.
Bernier. The verdict of the Coroner's in
quest was that he came to his death by a
blow inflicted •in some way to the jury un
known.
BREAKING INTO A STATE PRISON—A SINGU
LAR CASE.—One night last week, Jane Wade,
a girl, about twenty years of age, broke into
the State Prison, Connecticut. She scaled
the stone wall that encloses the prison by
climbing a tree. The wall was about twenty
feet high. From the yard, she crawled into
the kitchen, which is separated from the male
prisoners, and is not guarded at night,
through an outlet for the ashes, which con
nects with the yard. She slept in this ash
hole for six nights, and when found had six
empty mush or pudding pans by her side,
which she had taken from the kitchen when
full. On Sunday night last, she snored so
loud in her ash-hole bed as to attract the at
tention of the matron, and after a search she
was found and dragged out. The opinion of
an eminent lawyer has been given that Miss
Wade may be indicted and convicted of bur
glary—she having broken into the State
Prison in the night season, and stolen six
pans full of meal pudding I There is not
hardly a parallel case on record.
INFORMATION WANTED.—Some two months
since we published an item stating that John
R. Reilly, a son of Andrew Reilly, of Lan
caster, Pa., had left his home on the 19th of
January, 1858. He has not since been heard
of ; his parents are naturally anxious about
him, and we again give a description at their
request is about twelve years old, four
feet six inches high, has a very fair complec
tion and straight hair, two large teeth in
front. He is a very intell gent boy, and talks
rapidly. He wore, when he let home, a, blue
cap and drab roundabout and pants. His
parents request that no one will harbor him,
but assist in restoring hint to his family, and
for any information leading to his recovery,
a suitable reward will be given. Letters ad
dressed to Andrew Reilly, Lancaster, Pa.,
will be promptly answered. Our exchanges
will confer a favor on an afflicted family by
giving circulation to the above.
A SLIAMEFUL REPRESENTATION OF THE UNI
TED STATES AT TAIIITI.—We have lately re
ceived repeated accounts of the disgraceful
conduct. of Henry Owner, United States con
sul at Tahiti. We have been informed that
during almost the entire time, he lies drunk
in the streets there, and has been repeatedly
picked up intoxicated, even in his consular
uniform, and carried home. Lately, in one
of his drunken sprees, he fell from the bridge
into a gutter, and, striking his face upon a
stone, was picked up, not only dripping with
filth, but with a broken nose. On another
occasion, some sailors found him in a taro
patch and carried him to the calaboose as a
"drunk." He however, was not confined, as
a French officer recognized in him the consul
of the United States !—San Francisco Bul

HOLD ON BOys.—HOld on to your tongue
when you are just ready to lie, speak harshly,
or say any improper word. Hold on to your
hand when you are about to strike, pinch,
s 2ratch, steal, or do any improper act. Hold
on to your foot when you are on the point of
kicking, running away from duty, or pursu
ing the path of error, shame, or crime. Hold
on to your temper when you are angry, exci
ted, or imposed upon, or others are angry
about you. Hold on to your heart when evil
associates seek your company and invite you
to join in their games, mirth, and revelry.—
Hold on to your good name at all times, for
it is more valuable to you than gold, high
places, or fashionable attire. Hold on to
your truth ; fur it will serve you well and do
you good through eternity. Hold on to your
virtue, it is above all price to you in all times
and places. Hold on to your good character,
for it is, and ever will be your best wealth.
THE KICK. TITAT KILLED BOTli.—While
horse was standing on Old street, near Syca
more, a dog passed, underneath him, and re
ceived a kick which completely smashed his
skull, killing him instantly. The owner of
the horse soon after left•the city, but had not
proceeded far before the horse fell and expired.
Upon examination, his left hind foot, with
which he had kicked the dog, was found to
contain a piece of bone several inches in
length, apparently part of the dog's jaw bone
bullied into the quick, or tenderest part of,
the hoof. Ile died of tetanus.—Petersburg

which she was prepared,) was resigned and
cheerful. She was a member of the Presby

YELLOW FEVER INCIDENT.—On Monday,
says a New Orleans paper, a gentleman com
ing into the city from Ozyka, found himself
sitting vis a vis with a company of strangers
in whom he became interested. On inquiry,
he found the party consisted of four youths
from Kentucky, going to New Orleans to
seek their fortune. "Are you not afrait of
the fever?" said our friend. "We did not
know the danger when we started," was the
reply. "I advise you," said our friend, "to
take the return cars for Jackson, or you will
doubtless soon be occupants of our grave
yard." "We bad rather die than go back,"
was the answer. They came. Our friend
followed them to their boarding house, and
watched their fate. Three of them have been
buried; the fourth cannot survive.
