There was some kindling wood on the top of the stove, which it is supposed caught fire, and hence the cause of the frightful calamity. As soon as the alarm was given, several persons were quickly on the spot, and for a few seconds the terrified faces of the children were seen at an tipper window, but they soon disappeared and were not afterwards seen until their charred remains were pick td out of the smouldering ruins.

Lancaster, with more dwell. ings than Allegheny, has much loss popula• tion, and the same is true of Luzerno as compared with Berks, and Bucks as com pared with York. Alleghany has nearly nine persons to a dwelling, and if Philadel phia had the same ratio her population would be over 800,090. The inference is either that Pittsburg and suburbs must be very densely peopled, or else the number of !dwellings is incorrectly given. Chester, /3ueks, and Montgomery, are immediately 1 adjac ent to P h i la delp h i a . They coat in the aggregate '209,049, all suburban to the I great city. York, Lancaster, and Berks are the nest counties westward of Chester upon the aconthetm border. Each has a leading city which is of mark throughout the State —York. Lancaster, and Reading being old, ( flourishing and wealthy places, and import ant agricultural centres. Schuylkill and Luzern(' derive their advancement from their great coal treasures, and it seems, oddly enough, that Luzerne has gone ahead of Schuylkill though though the latter had' much the start in the coal trade. 1'0,721 78 How TVE TI:IiKEY WAS Nsurn.—An Eng lish writer said that in the time of Henry the Eighth, everything which was new and fashionable was called "turkey;" as the richest goods were imported by merchants whose vessels sailed up the Mediterranean, and who were called Turkey merchants.— When the noble American bird war first served up on English tables, its excellence gave it the fashionable name of "turkey" which has remained uncln.ngpd t q gip present.

It will be the duty of the Secretary of the Interior, when the census is fully completed, to divide the whole number of free persons, together with two thirds of the slaves, by two hundred and thirty-three, the present number of members, and the product shall be the whole ratio for a member. The Secre. taryshallthen proceedin thesame manner to ascertain the population in each State, the free and two-thirds of the slave„e.nd divide the same by the ratio . required for a single Representative, as at frrst ascertained. and the product shall be the number of Repre sentatives to which a State shall be entitled —so fur disregarding the fractions. There will be a loss of several members iu this mode of computation, caused •by the frac tions, and these are to be divided among the States having the largest fractions, until the number is made up to two hundred and thirty-three. AN INCIDENT or TUE ITALIAN INEURREC TION.-It is sometimes ineenvenient to be famous. Professor Holloway, the distin guished medical reformer, once had experi ence of the fact. It was his fortune, or mis fortune, to be in Piedmont when the Italian revolution of 1849 was at its culminating point. lie had been on a tour through the Swiss Alps, investigating the phenomena of an extraordinary ease of scrofula indigenous to that region, and known as creltatism.— While thus engaged, and intent on observ ing the effect of his remedies on the pro. scribed and hideous race who have inherited fur many generations this horrible disorder, the torch of civil war had been lighted at Milan, and its flames had illuminated the whole Lombardo Venetian territory. At the time when lie set forward on his journey South, Charles Albert, of Sardinia, had been driven beyond Mineio, and Radetzky's victorious troops were in full pursuit. Ex pecting that his neutral position as an Eng lishman, and his character as a man of sci ence, would protect him from outrage, Dr. Holloway fearlessly set out upon his jour ney through the peninsula; but a circum stance occurred upon which ho had not cal culated. Marshal Radotzky, in the very flush of victory had been taken suddenly it , and one of the advance parties of iris army having encountered Dr. Holloway's carriage and discovered who was its in mate, his presence was requested at headquarters, to attend upon the sick veteran. As a peace ful civilian and his suite cannot gain much in a dispute with a troop of horse, the doc tor submitted with the best grace possible. Ile found the scarred and wrinkled soldier in great suffering. The fatigues of' the cam paign had brought on a bilious fever of a very severe type, and as Radetzky was then nearly seventy years of age, the army sur geons bhook their heads ominously. The Marshal at once put himself under Dr. Huh loway's care, and the latter proceeded to administer his famous internal remedy.— The fever soon subsided, and in less than three weeks the Commander-in-chief was once more in the saddle. He paid his phy sician a happy compliment on his recovery. "You, Dr. Holloway," said he, "are a greater conqueror than I; for I have simply put down rebellion while you have defeated Death." Radetzky wished him to go to Vienna, assuring him as an inducement that he weuld be placed at the head of' the impe rial medical staff; but Dr. llolloway'a am- I I bition had a wider and a nobler scope, and he turned his face homeward with the old man's blessings on his head.--Nopres Diane. ENIERSOS o I BE4XTY.—That beauty is the normal state, is shown by the perpetual ef fort of nature to obtain it. Mirnbenu had an ugly face on a handsome ground; and we see faces every day which have a good type, but have been marred in the casting; a proof that we are all entitled to beauty, should have been beautiful, if our ancestors had kept the laws—as every lily and every rose is well. But our bodies do not fit us, but caricature and satirize us. Thus, short legs, which constrain us to short, mincing steps, are a sort of personal insult and con tumely to the owner; and long stilts, again, put him at perpetual disadvantage, and force him to stoop to the general level of mankind. Martial ridicules a gentleman of his day whose countenance resembled the lace of a swimmer seen under water. Saadi describes a schoolmaster "so ugly and crabbed that a sight of him would de range the arstacies of the orthodox." Faces are rarely true to any ideal type. hat are a record in sculpture of a thousand anecdotes of whim and fully. Portrait painters say that most faces and forms aro irregular and unsymmetrical; have one eye blue and the other gray; the nose not straight; and one shoulder higher than another; the hair une qually distributed, &a. The man is physi (Lally as wall as metaphysically a thing of shreds and patches, borrowed unequally from good and bad ancestors, and a misfit from the start. A beautiful person, among the Greeks, was thought to betray by this sign some se cret favor from the immortal gods; and we can pardon pride, when a woman possesses such a figure that wherever she stands, or moves, or leaves a shadow on the wall, or sits for a portrait to the artist, she confers a favor on the world.—Enterson's Colidoet of Life. sarA milk pedlar, finding that his busi ness was not just what it should be, resolved to tack about and sell milk, instead of milk and water, as he had formerly done, and thus test the /meatiness of the old maxim about the policy of honesty. A. day or two after he had effected the aforesaid change, he was told by one of his customers, a mat ronly lady of some 'experieace in life, that be need bring no more milk to her. In great surprise h e asked her th reason why, "Be cause," said slic,'"thp oracle yon yesterday sold me wits the strangest stuff t ever saw. it had not stood three hours when it bad a mrty yellirty scum on it.
