Thirty-three years ago, 'there lived in Lewiston, Logan county, Obicqa farmer by' the native of Harris Hopkins, who bad ahoy •between three and four years of , ago. Ono day while the father was at work in the field, some distance from the 'farm . house, the boy started from 'the house, across the field, to see his father. The last seen of the little fellow was when•he left the house. Hundreds and thousands of people turned out to search for the . lost child.. The river was dragged,• the woods, searched, rewards offered, but all tone pur-; pose. Alter days of weary and anxious search, the little fellow was given up by the parents and sympathizing 'friends. The few Indians living in the neighborhood,, were friendly and peaceable, and no suspi cion ever attached to them, and like all even stranger circumstances, the affair was forgotten or only talked of as a mysterious disappearance. The Hopkins family at length left their old-borne and settled in Illinois,,and up to ten days ago, none of their old niglibors in Logan county had expected to see any member of the family again. The astonish ment of the old settlers in and about the neighborhood, .can be conceived, when, week before last, a tall man, browned by exposure to sun and storm, and speaking the broken English of the half-civilized In dians, made his appearance at Lewiston, and claimed to be the child missed thirty three years ago. He stated that a Cherokee Indian, wandering through that section, had enticed him from the field as he was going in search of his father, and bad car ried him to the far West. The old chief has treated him as his own son, and having been taken away at so young an age, the memory of his parents and former life bad faded from his mind. For thirty odd years, be had lived as au Indian, and sup posed that he was the son of the old chief, who claimed to be his father. A few months .since the old chief, then high in rank in the Cherokee nation, and very advanced in age, found hiniself upon his death-bed. Shortly,before he died, and when he knew that recovery was hopeless, he called his adopted son to his bedside, and informed bim who and what he was. As soon as the old chief was dead and buried, Hopkins came.to Logan county in search of his parents, whom ho. found had moved to Campaign City, Illinois. He, however, remained during last week at Lewiston, to gratify the curiosity of the old settlers, who had aided in the search for him thirty-three years ago. His reappear ance has created as much excitement in Logan county as did his sudden and mys terious disappearance a third of a century ago. The joy of his parents when he is re stored to them, can only be imagined, but never appreciated, savo by those who have been similarly afflicted and similarly re joiced.—Sandusky Register. A Wedding Party. Dispersed. An event occurred near one of our city churches on Sunday, says the Albany Knie7cerbocker, which, although public, has been kept very quiet. It appears that the• daughter of a well known lady, living on Broadway, had been keeping company with - a popularyonugsrocerym an. The old lady blijeote3 t 4 4- 72 :1444,0-0.44!b , Lc/b5. daughterLlStn';:aScefating with' tlid'yOoni .Man.. But the'yoniii lady's'affectionsWere centered In the - grocery keeper, mid all at tempts to dislodge that love or dissuade her from her purpose were as naught. The old lady soon became convinced of this litct,and determined to prevent any intercourse be tween her daughter and her lover by force and Violence, if not otherwise. For a while she succeeded in her object. The parties were plighted for marriage In November next, but the girl urged a change of the day, and named Sunday last. She thought "the sooner the better," and believed by this means she could deceive the old lady. The bridegroom had cards printed,aunounc ing the proposed marriage, and for the par: pose of inviting a few friends - to be present. The daughter indiscreetly allowed one of them to lay around loose, and it, fell into the mother's hands. The parent - became greatly excited. She prepared for the emer gency. The daughter left her• home on Sunday afternoon, met her lover and friends at the house of an acquaintance, and at once proceeded toward the church to bo made one. As they neared the edifice they were met by the, infuriated mother, who stepPed before the wedding party, forbade the nap tials to go on t assailed the bridegroom in the most ruthless manner, and by her conduct dispersed the happy gathering as effectually as . w bomb-shell would a crowd in An enemy's camp'. The party and wedding were effectually broh . en up, and the mother carried the daughter home In triumph. A. Remarkable Story. The Concord; (N. H.) Patriot narrates a romance of real 'life, 'the main facts of which "are worthy of being described. The Rev. T. 13: Eastman was born in Ooncord in 1813. His father, Samuel, was appren ticed to a blacksmith, and his indenture did not expire till two years atter his marriage, by which" time ho bad two children and was largely in debt. When the Rev. Mr. E. was six, years of age his father left for Massachusetts, ostensibly to obtain work, but really to escape his creditors. He went On a fishing voyage, and his family, soon after, left Concord. Writing several times after his retain from sea, and learning noth ing, both parties gave up the other aS lost. The childrOb • grew up•and had families of their own. One son was lost in Mexico, the eldest became a clergymen and the daugh ter married. So things went on till a few weeks ago, when' the Rev. Mr. Eastman called on a lady of his acquaintance, who incidentally mentioned haying met with his father's second family, some nine weeks since. 7 1Inding her Much better posted in his own family affairs than he was himself, he wrote to the postmaster of a certain town, and 'ascertained 'beyond doubt that his father was living- there. The clergyman proceeded' to]."the place in question, and in troduced Admself to his parent, who was overwhelmed' at:the intelligence from those who, for half- a century, had been to him as dead.: Thek'Old 'Man, overjoyed, took his eldest born home, and presented him to the "second" fatnily, for he had married again, and had four children of their own. The second wife was dead, and the old man, now seventy-six years old, finds his first wife, whom he left a blootiting young woman, au old lady : of seventy-nine. The family is again united and the father will soon be in Concord.' M.i.s.rEtz 'EfAi.tontr, ' the son of the Rev.

BEM Alfred'ls Beautiful Dream. had a strange and beautiful "dream:' vision' of sumo place, such es I never saw with waking eyes, camnbeforo me. There was alandscape•of great extent and incom parable !beauty: I have no , 'words 'with which to describe it. ,Therewere hills and valleys covered with the most luxuriant vegetation. All descriptions , of tropical abundance are barren compared with' it. Every kind of delicious fruit hung in ripe and rich clusters. The surpassing' beauty and endless variety of the flowers nt once charmed and astonished me. In the centre of the vast territory there was a magnificent river, whose water was perfectly transpa rent; and passed with peaceful majesty over a bed of golden sand, which I saw distinct ly. Along the banks of the river grew trees of extremely graceful form and rich foliage, many of them laden with fruit of extraordinary beauty. Over all there fella melloW light, which added • inconceivably to the attractions of the whole ; but whence the light came I knew not, for there was no sun visible, and not a cloud in the atmos pheri'l iii.concear him, far in the distlnce,up the river, I saw a city of surpassing splen dor, as if built of gold and gems. While gazing on the brilliant spectacle, my at tention was arrested bylt new sight ; there passed along the base of ono of the hills what appeared a procession of persons clothed in the richest possible robes. Sud denly ono of them left the rest, and came to me. "With a look of ineffable tenderness, sweetness, and love, my mother stood be fore me. She spoke not. There was no need of speech. There was perfect happi ness—there was perfect heaven in that look. I wept forfoy. The emotion awoke me. All was a dreem except the tears; with them my pillow was wet.—Leask's Two Lights. Straightening' a Grecian Bend. A Cincinnati biped named Frederick Bey, has discovered a new process for relieving females who are afflicted with the Grecian Bend. Last Saturday night be essayed to escort his sweetheart from a ball at Lafay ette Hall to her domicile. Her name is Mary Hiuc, and we are sorry to say that Maryfias fallen in with-the prevailing cus tom, and-affects the customs of the Greeks to an aggravated degree. Her lover, who is opposed to this kind of thing, remonstrated with her as they walk edliome together, but Mary was wedded to her idol, and she told Frederick that if he didn't like her bend ho might straighten her out or ,transfer his affection to some other girl. Frederick concluded to straight en her out, and consequently struck her a blow under the ear.which bad the desired effect. He straightened her, and completely ob literated all traces of the obnoxious bend. For this Mary had him arrested, and an un progressive and illiberal police court judge lined him five dollars, at the same time ad monishing him not to attempt his peculiar process again. Singular Circumstance. A few days ago Mr. Geo. Prentice, of this town, went out into a field to mow, taking with him ono of his children, a boy about four fears- old. The little fellow was left sitting ,on the ground playing,' while the fltther .L commenced his wont. Soon after Xiagentid'Aettrilia4screah.aS,iPuisgo,u4., f . 6Aii hfm and' neatiorledl hiftiV but he could ket no satisfactory - replies—the child contirming to scream and Move. his' body in a cringing manner. Fearing that the child had been stunk, Mr% Prentice commenced examining hint, the screams continuing, but finding noth ing after a partial search, he took him hi his arms and carried him to the house, where a more thorough search was commenced. Upon removing the clothing from the up per part of the child's body, a snake drop ped therefrom to the floor. It was a long and very slim black snake of the "racer" species, and it is snpposed that it: had tightly coiled itself around the body of the child, thereby eaushig him pain, a habit which is generally ascribed to the racer ' snakes. It was fortunate that the child was not alone, as in that event it would probably soon have been strangled by the snake.—Milford Journal. Chinese Labor.

Lord ',.l!yion'E,‘ .Last Ih parting with Lord BYron itisiome re lief to - cast a glicimSe of light upon 'a very dark, picture. Though he continued • to breathe bitter words against ,Lady Noel down to, the• time of her death yet three' years before his own death, he - seems to have ceased, (a single instance excepted) to write or 'Speak unkindly of his 'wife. The first fotir and the eighth stanzas of his last beautiful verses suggest that unholy bonds which had held him were loosed. In the records of the last ten days of his life the lady from whom he had parted at Genoa is. not named. In the intervals of conscious ness his thoughts turned to her whom he had wronged. On the day that he sailed front Genoa to ward Greece ho regretted that he had not first gone to England. On the day before his death he muttered, " Why did I not go home before I came here?" On the same day, when he knew he was dying, ho was most anxious to make Fletcher, his old servant, understand his last wishes. The servant asked whether he should bring pen and paper to take down his words. "Oh, !" he said, "it is now nearly over. Go to my sister; tell her. Go to Lady By ron; yon will see her, and say"—his voice faltered, and he continued to mutter to him self for nearly twenty minutes with much earnestness, concluding, "Now I have told_ you all." "My lord," said Fletcher, "I have not understood a word you have been saying." " Not understood me !" said By ron,with a look of the utmost distress; "what a pity. Then it is too late ; all is over." "I hope not," answered Fletcher; "but the Lord's will be done." "Yes, not mine," he said, and tried to utter a few words, of which all were inarticulate except " My sister—my child." • Ho was most unhappy in his choice of a biographer. Mr. Moore was unable to per ceive the injury that ho indicted upon Lord •Byron in giving him a Axed habitation to his changing fancies of anger and remorse without repentance, or the danger which, in the very whirlwind of his passion, he had always avoided, by enforcing Lady Byron to break silence. If Sir Walter Scott, who Was emphatically man, could have un dertaken the task, he would not have called on his friend to tell from the grave, with a joyous voice, the foul sensuality of Venice; he would not have collected darts, which lay scattered abroad and harmless, to pierce a woman's heart. Such were not the mas sacres which the husband, if God bad given him utterance, would have sent from his death-t4d. It is difficult to believe that Moore had not personal resentment against - Lady Byron, and as difficult to understand how the utmost degree of resentment could persuade any man to insult a woman so -daringly.— Temple Bar. Care of the Watch.. 1. Do not make a toy of it for yourself or the children. Never open it except for nec essary purposes. • 2. It should be regulated to about mean temperature, and always kept as near the same temperature as possible. 3. It should not be allowed to stop.. Bet ter that it should be kept running all the time. 4. Keep it in as uniform a position as pos sililg y - If in the pocket, better that the pee, ceo , ;zin,ThiKtiKig4iSW;V:k ., ti: 4 4ki4A:44 4 - E, 5. Oat of the pocket,- if it bang , on the,ivall; et it be ou some soft surface. Never allow it to lie on bare marble or other hard,sur face. If it lie on any surface, let It be with face up and pendent ring turned under, so as to keep the upper part most elevated. 6, Let your key fit exactly, and be kept perfectly clear. By the former you may save breaking chains, mainsprings, ratch ets, clicks, dc. ; by the latter, prevent in troducing much dust. 7. Wind,i Gpossi hie, at the same hour each day. S, While winding, hold your watch stead- ily in your left hand, Turn only your key, and that firmly, evenly, avoiding all quick motions or jerks. 0. Set your watch with a key ; never turn the hands by any other way. You may turn the hands either way without danger, if they do not move very hard. 10. On regulating a watch, should it be going too fast, move the regulator a trifle toward the "slow," and if going slow, do the reverse; you cannot move the regulator too gently at a time, and the only inconve nience that can arise is, that you may have to perform that duty more than once. 11. Take note that your watch, even if a good one, will sometimes be guilty of " ir regularities" in consequonee of change of temperature, from the effects of which none but a chronometer is exempt; also from the jerks and jars of travel. 12. If you find any difficulty which you do not understand, go at once to a good watchmaker. Rendo's Watch-Repairer's Guide. Paper Petticoats. An exchange says the uses to which pa per can be put seem to be in no way ex hausted yet. Paper collars have become a great fact of the nineteenth century, but what will ladies say to paper petticoats? These have been produced with great suc cess, and will rival in every way the snow white and elaborately ornate garments poor male mortals are accustomed to look upon with fear and reverence. We have all heard of the artist who used to make caricatures of his- friends upon his shirt collars, and the author who inscribed an epic upon a couple of dozen of the same useful article of attire. Thus we see a field of groat useful ness for the petticoat for the future. Young ladies can make sketches from nature on their own petticoats. Every damsel her own sketch-book will be their motto. Poets can inscribe sonnets to their mistress' ankles around the hem of her petticoats. Mothers can have fairy tales, alphabets, and small scholastic works inscribed on their garments, and so instruct their children as they walk about with them. Fancy the announcement,. " Madame Percale bogs leave to call the attention of the ladies about to visit the sea-sidO tcv her new and richly embroidered petticoats at ono shilling each. Each petticoat contains an installment of a new novel of great , domestic interest, by Mr. Anthony Trollope, entitled ' Tucks and Frills. - The story will be `completed In fifty weekly petticoats." There-is no reason whatever why journalism should not be represented in this way. For exam ple, the Daily _Petticoat, a journal for ladies ; or the weekly-Pinafore and Girls' Gazcltc. A Novel Sato—Savory Bacon.

They have been sent to the Redemption Bureau to be exchanged in so delapidateda condition as to almost defy identification, but the experts of the Treas ury have managed topaste the charred bits together so as to'make out the amount with out loss to the owner, who will in a few days receive equal value in bonds of more promising appearance. $2,00-Per Year, In Advance; $2,50 If not Patti is Advance: Itaileetia(ACCiraciits Ain - one - • ••• Day:-. • • ' , ILULRISIITIRG, Aug. .14.—Tbree .xailroad accidents occurred near here to-day. .At four o'clock - this morning Martin Krauss, while stealing a passage on the Pennsylva nia railroad,. from Chicago to Philadelphia, had his two legs mashed. atlfarysville, seven miles west of Harrisburg. Ho was sitting on the bumper of a car on the second through freight east, with his logs hangin,_ down, when a sudden jolt brought the 'cars together.

The Buffalo Express' of the Northern Central Railroad, which left here at 3.15, when at the Dauphin Narrows struck a rock, three feet in ,diameter and fifteen hundred pounds in weight, which rolled down the mountain. The rock drugged the train about thirty feet when the engine left the track and shot over a stone wall fifteen feet high in the county road, and thence through another stone wall into the Pennsylvania canal. The engine, ten der and three express cars, loaded princi pally with peaches, were smashed to atoms and are a complete wreck, blocking up the road. One passenger car, well filled with passengers, was jammed into the wreck, but no passengers were killed, some being slightly injured and bruised. The scene was frightful, and the, passen gers were extricated with great difficulty. Only two persons were killed—Charles W. Stewart, of Baltimore, engineer, and Jacob Crissman, of Reading,fireman. They were terribly mutilated and blackened. , The baggage-master, whose car went into the canal, was only slightly bruised, and went on with the new train made up. The engineer died in an hour after the accident, suffering excruciating pain. The fireman died instantly.

An affair of this kind took place recently at Minneapolis, in 'Minnesota. A young lady of very prepossessing appearance, named- Alice Ferguson, who_ had been engaged at sewing at the Xicollet)louse, had uncoil consciously won the affections or a , young man ' named ,Anthony Cochrane, a brick layer.

His attention amounted to persecutiOn, and greatly an noyed the young lady, who is not only very beau tiful,hut as good as she is lovely. She" bad reasoned again and again-with her. un reasonable admirer, until her patience was about exhausted. On Thursday evening lie again forced himself into her room at the Nicollet House where she sat sewing, and again urged his suit. Again he was refused, when,finding persuasive words of no effect, he resorted to threats, and drawing a revol ver hp . 'told her she could have her choice, either marry him or.oie. Seriously alarm ed, but not intimidated,she persisted in her refusal, when he fired, the ball taking ef fect in her hand and arm, which she had thrown up as a protection. This probably saved her life, as he had aimed at her head, and but for the ball striking the hone of her arm, and being thus turned aside, she . would have been killed instantly. Imme diately upon tiring, the cowardly wretch fled, and up to our latest accounts had not been - arrested; although strong hopes were entertained of his arrest yesterday. Tho young lady's arm is badly shattered, and may have to be amputated. The feeling in Minneapolis was very bitter against the young man, and, had he been found when the facts first beCaine know they would have lynched him.--,Si.

' An English steamer, which arrived at Liverpool from Africa a short time since, bad on board three giant chacmas or ba." boons, two crocodiles, several monkeys, and other specimens of the natural history of the' country. The baboons were very ferocious and possessed of great strength. Eor 'their safe custody a strong den with iron bars was provided and placed near the forecastle, so that they could constantly be under the eye of the crow. All went well until the morning of the second day out, when a crash was heard, and in nn instant the large chacma had wrenched several bars off, and the next instant was on the fore castle, armed with the bars with which he had been confined. Hero his majesty paused for a moment, and in a dignified manner surveyed his captors. A rope baying been got, a noose was formed and cast over his head, and ho struggled hard to extricate himself, but without avail. He then at tacked one of the seamen, whom be seized by the arm, and notwithstanding that sev eral of the men belabored -him with wea pons, the brute would not relinquish his bold until he had torn the flesh from above the elbow to near the wrist, and had beau rendered insensible, when ho was carried to His den. New liiimpshire. It is reported that a very severe drought prevails in the central and southeastern sections of New Hampshire, and that the growing crops aro already much injured. Water is low in the wells, and also in the reservoirs in the larger places, which gives rise to much anxiety in regard to fires. Threatening fires have several times broken out in the woods, but have thus far been control led without great damage. The grins has dried up fearfully in the pastures, and cattle have to be fed at the barns. In one township all the =tie in ono pasture, live in number, were found dead from hunger and thirst. The pasture was some distance from any house, and its condition was not known to the owner.

We desire to supply the publicwith the best practical information in reference to the farm, garden, and household, Cultivate Your Apple Trees. A correspondent in Montgomery county, Pa., informs us that he can succeed with his apple orchard in obtaining a crop as well as any other field upon his farm. He corn mottoes his orehard by selecting his trees himself in the nursery, as a farmer selects his seed before sowing; helps to take them up, as a farmer secures his seed; hauls them home late in the afternoon or evening; puts them in where they aro to be planted until next day ; has the ground prepared before hand and the holes dug; removes and sets the trees Lis lie needs them in the most care ful manner, applying two buckets of water to each tree—one when the hole is half filled up, the other when entirely filled, leaving the ground around the tree bowl like.

He says it is not nearly as much labor as any other crop on the farm, while it is just as sure and more profitable. Farmers do you hear that?—Germantown Telegraph.. WHEN To Our TIMBER.—We have annu ally published articles on the best time for cutting timber, and. still those who aro ob servant in this matter are giving their ad vice. What is singoltir is the very general agreement of all the wise men on this snbject. Tne time now agreed upon, almost if not quite universally, is between the 15th. of August and the 15th day of September., Timbei cut during thiS time will not be troubled with worms, and"hickory will make good rails. Timber 'is generally cut in the winter, because farmers have more leisure time and chopping is good exercise for cold weather. It can be cut at the right time and' worked up during winter. The labor of merely felling the trees is not very great. One tree cut during the next month from this time will be, worth three cut in the winter. So says a writer in the Rural World, copied into the Rural New Yorker. SALT IN MORTAR.—A correspondent writing us from West Marlborough town ship, says : "I saw a notice in the papers sometime since, of the destruction of Dr. Warren and Mr. Worth's houses—and in' both instances it was attributable to dirty , chimneys, or perhaps defective flues.

A complete revolution in weaving Is prophesied, from the introduction of a method by which the wool is carried through the chain in a curve instead of at a right angle. A variety in the pattern, both in shade and markings, can be attained in this way, of which the old process was wholly incapable. This new process is adapted to fabrics of any kind, and can bo used both for weaving by hand and with power looms.
