Geo ! gee ! ! lu*s !*. * As they neati-d the place, every one per reived, a mound of siiow, presenting exactly:' the appearance of a grave* and to romplete the reseinhlance there stood a headstone. .'On, on !' said the father;. J 0 Turn .tkiXK, on! llow slowly we fret along:?' At last they stopped ; the mountebank pushed aside the hands extended to assist him, ; leaped wildly out of the cart, and stood for a moment silently contemplating their grave.-- ,Joc took the spade, and lagan removing the tall white heap that looked sp like a headstone. In a little while, they removed away a quanti ty of snotv, the fop of a large drum became visible ; at sight of this, the mountebank's fare was alternately flushed and pale, pale and flashed. Keen anxiety marked the counten ances of the whole party, and all ryes were so intently fixed on Joe's operations,that none had observed a recent addition to their number. It Was a women —young, fair, and of an interest ing appearance. Presentiment, destiny's grim shadow, had whispered to her the sad tale of her children's luckless fate ; and leaving the . two younger ones to the care of a neighbor, ; she had set out for Eirlintliprpc, resolved to know the worst. Softly she went up to the mountebank, gazed mournfully upon Ids alter ed countenance —for illness and anxiety had done their work—and pressing his hand af fectionately, she said ' Husband !' The > fleet of the one word was truly magical. The unhappy man whose eyes were burning with fever, and whose pent-up grief was driving him to the very verge of insanity, was now reliev ed bv a copious flood of tears. ' Gently, gent ly,' cried lie, as Joe began to dig away the snowy mound which it was now certain covered his children—' gently ! Don't disfigure my pretty darlings.' Joe threw the spade down, tenderly drew away with his hands the remainder of the snow and revenled to the expectant parents the life less forms of their dear offspring. There they lay, as in tranquil sleep. Ally's right arm encircled his little brother's neck; his left hand grasped firmly the collar of the old coat in which they were enveloped, and it was evident thnt to the last the loving boy had striven to pull the garment tightly round Midgkins to to shield him from the cold. 'Dead, dead!'cried poor father, with a groan of anguish : ' I knew it.' Mother fell on her knees beside her little ' ones, and covering her face with her hands, wept bitterly. The doctor lost not a moment in parleying, but stooping down, began chafing Ally's frozen limbs. ' Joe !' said lie abruptly, ' the wine ! look sharp ! There's hope yet.' AVhat sweet music was in that simple sen tence ! music that stayed the torrent of moth er's tears, and caused father's countenance to beam with hope. Half-a-dozen pair of willing hands were soon employed in using every means suggested by the doctor for the re suscitation of the young sufferers. Happily their earnest endeavors were crowned with ' success; for anon, Alfv half opened his eyes, and on seeing his father bending anxiously over him, he said—somewhat indistinctly as one i speaks in a dream : ' Father, have you come to fetch us ?' 'Yes, my love—yes,' replied father. ' But where's Midgkins ?' murmured Alfy ' I thought I had my arms round him -' ' Your brother's quite safe,' interrupted the doctor; ' hut, no more talking now ; wait till you're stronger.' ' Look he's breathing freelv, and moves his hands,' said mother, referring to Midgkins— to whom she and Yorkshire Tom had been directing their care and attention. The doc tor now gave orders that the boys should be wrapped up in the horse-cloths, and desiring their parents to get into the vehicle, lie placed the little one in their arms, and whispered to Tom to drive on, as fast as he could, for that ranch remained to he done before he could i prononee the young invalids out of danger.— Moreover, he dreaded the effects of the keen morning air on the frame of the mountebank, shaken as it had been by the excitement of recent events. Arrived at the Travellers' Ilest every means that kindnes and experience prompted was put into requisition for the be hoof of the distressed family—warm baths, good beds ; in short, all that her house afford cd, Mrs. Dawson freely placed at the doctor's disposal for their advantage, and was reward ed by his declaring, on the following day, that all his patients now required was plenty of 'kitchen physic,'second by good nursing. The two important adjuncts to the physi cian's skill were not wanting on the present oc casion, for tbe kind landlady was indefatigable in her superintendence of broths and jellies for the invalids; and as for nursing, why mother w-as there. The consequence was, that in a few days the doctor discontinued his visits. ' There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, lends on to fortune.' So said Sltakspeare. With the subjects of our tale this '* tide," had now set in. and that which all their professional talent had failed to achieve,accident gained for them—notoriety the very life of public professors in whatsoever department they may he. The newspapers that week published accounts of the ' hair breadth scape'of the children; men who make n scanty livelihood by bawling through the streets recitals of the various casualties that are daily befalling their fellowcrentures, were heard in the very town retailing the substance of the foregoing narrative, with sundry ad ditions, alterations, and moral observations The mountebank, as Byron phases it, ' awoke one morniug and found himself famous.' He received a letter from the manager of one of L mdon minor theatres, with an offer to Mr. and the Masters Letlibridge of JLO per week, for their jo.nt salary, to perforin in a new drama, founded on fact, and entitled T/icsmnc Storm ; the engagement to terminate when the run of the drama was over. Said ' run ' might continue on'y three weeks, or—if the piece turned out u great hit—might last as many months, just according to the success of the production. Then came, post-haste, a model ler in wax-work who, with father's consent, took plaster easts of his and his children s heads, l'hcir well-worn professional attire was eagerly purchased by this gentleman, who went away delighted at having it in his power to add to the attractions of his wax work ex hibition ' the life-like models of the renowned Professor Letlibridge and his Infant Progeny, dressed in the identical apparel worn by thein iu the late disastrous snow-storm.' Nor was the mountebank less pleased with the five pound uote which was the result of the model ler's visit. Jfe had scarcely left the inn, when a very showy carriage, driven by a very showr" coachman, stopped at the door, and a stoat elderly gentleman alighted. llis JTV* was uflra-faslTioiiahte, and lie was bejewelled, be whiskcred, and be ringleted a mmrille He .inquired pilitely for Monsieur Lulebtege,, to i w bom ho flit:odneed hi.m Self as the 4tr>eaml, the extreme point of one foot resting on n .diminutive glass globe, the other gracefully ex tended iu the air. On his forehead he stqt portcd, pyramid wise, his two hoys—dressed in Turkish flies and Greek caps—Midgkins, who | formed the apex, waving iu each hand a small ! flag, emblazoned with the arms of France. To j complete tlie picture, father's hands were in -1 (histriously employed in tossing up and catch ing at least a dozen oranges, and as many formidable looking two edged knives—and all this during a heavy fall of snow ; not very 1 na'ural, but highly effective. Four years have passed away since the moun ; tebauk and his family, with tears of gratitude, I hade adieu to their generous Kglinthorpe friends. Since then, they have travelled pro fessionally, even as far as Constantinople. Last year, having completed the term of their en gagement with Monsieur I? Directrit /•, they re turned to their native country, greatly improv ed in a; pearanee, manners, and knowledge.— All the family speak French and German fluently ; and the boys are considered by the judges to be lirst-rate acrobats, horse-riders, i and rope-dancers ; consequently, their services ' are greatly sought after.

For Chief Clerk, Junsox HOI.COMB will be strongly pressed by the Republican ; members from the Northern part of the State. Mr. 11. combines all the qualifications and ex perience necessary to make a popular and ex i celleut officer. Representing this County for I two years in the House, he was noted for his 1 familiarity with the rules, while as Assistant ! Clerk of the Senate lie gained himself great j credit for the ready and courteous manner in I which lie performed his duties. His election 1 would secure to the House a Clerk, whose capability could not be excelled, while it would be a mark of appreciation of the indomitable and reliable freemen of the North which would be peculiarly gratifying. SAO ACClDENT. —Acorrespondent at Sheshe j quin sends in the following account of a sad accident which occurred on Friday week:— A little girl aged ten years, daughter of Adam Feucht, a German residing in this vicin ity, while at the mill of Gore & R indall, in company with her brother older, waiting for a grist, diverted herself about the mill looking I at the machinery &c. While in the third story, i where there was a carpenter at work, her shawl by some means came in contact with a small upright shaft which was making about one , hundred revolutions per minute ; she was im mediately wound up to the shaft and made to revolve at that rapid rate at least a hundred times, before the carpenter could go below ami stop the mill. There was a space of but seven inches between the shaft and a post, through which she was made to pass at every revolu tion. She was probably killed at the lirst rev olution, as her head was nearly torn from her body, and almost every bone broken. Her mother was confined to the bed with sickness, but her father, in a most frantic state, met her remains as they were being carried home from i the scene of the accident. This case seemed the more distressing to the parents, as, but a few years ago, they had a sou burned tip in a fallow, under circumstances eq unlly melancholy, i This calamity ought to remind nil mill own ers that such shafts (although they may ap pear harmless,) should be boxed, so as to avoid the possibility of such aecidcuts in fu ture. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.— On Tuesday, the 20th inst., Mrs. Hulduh, wife of Horace Wolf, of Columbia, attempted to commit suicide by cut ting her throat. She had been in a melancholy state of mind for several weeks. On Tuesday morning she weighed some meat and asked her husband to carry it to one of the neighbors. When he came back his wife was not to be found house; he was alarmed and communicated his fears to others ; search was immediately made, and, after considerable time ( had elapsed, she was found in a sort of cellar or ground room under the barn, where she had gone, closing the door after her. She had partly severed the windpipe and several of the smaller blood vessels around it, then taking her apron and wrapping it about her neck to staunch the blood. She is still alive but more insane than before she committed the act, and | appears determined to kill herself by tearing off the bandages and making the wound incur j able.

J Spicer, with the eaimon under bis ifcark andjtwo ex perienced artillerist*, Cfn wford Tifus nndi JJtvid Titiis, brot|j|rs f ieeuml. The firing of the cannon had progressed without accident, tjJJ they were preparing to discharge it for the last time, at about five o'clock, I\ m. f when from some unknown cause, it went off while they were in the act of loading it, wound ing Crawford and David Titns in a most shock ing manner, and slightly injuring Mr Tanner, their nephew. Crawford Titus had his right fore arm torn off just below his elbow, and the arm badly broken and lacerated. Hotli his eyes were put out ; the right eyeball was dsstroyed by splints from the ramrod, and the coats of the left eye so cut and burned with powder as to destroy the sight. His face, neck, and breast, were horribly mangled and torn. As soon as reaction commenced taking place, the torn vessels began to bleed ; and, the injury being so near the shoulder, hemorrhage could not be arrested except by amputation of the limb.— After making ineffeetua' attempts to stop the bleeding, the arm was amputated, near the shoulder, by Dr. Patrick. The patient, weaken ed by the loss of blood, and prostrated by the shock, continued to sink, and died about eleven o'clock, p. m., of the some day. David Titus had the flesh torn from the inside of the middle of the left forearm- -the hand and fingers badl v lacerated, some of the lingers entirely torn off—and his face and eyes burned but not so as to produce any permanent injury. It was decided by the physicians in attendance Drs. Black man, Patrick, Dimoek, Park, ami W. IJ. Richardson- that the hand could not be saved ; and they advised that the arm should be amputated. The operation was pre formed by Dr. Patrick. It is expected that the patient will recover. Craw ford Titus, who was a highly respected citizen of Harford township, leaves a widow und four children, with but little property.— His funeral was attended in Harford, on Monday, by a large concourse of mourners. This unhappy occurrence has cast a deep gloom over the community ; and, although the loss sustained by the afflicted family is one that can never he repaired, efforts are making to express the sympathy of the public in such manner, and to render such aid, as is in their power. B3T" The Salt Lake Mail to the 25th of September reached St. Joseph's, Mo., on the Kith inst. Everything was quiet in the Ter ritory, and good feeling is reported to exist between the Mormons and the Gentiles.— Business was brisk at Salt Lake City. Trains of goods and provisions were constautlyarriving from California. The supply trains from the States were also arriving in good condition and great numbers. Sixty had passed Fort Bridgcr, and twenty were met 011 the Sweet water, and eight were north of the Platte.— All the troops under Gen JOHNSTON are con solidated in one encampment. His command, including employes, number 7,00 or 8,000. — About 4,000 men were also at Fort llridger, under Col. CAMIIHEV. The President is now (in his own opin ion) even with the people of Berks County.— They administered a stern rebuke at the polls by rejecting J. GKANCY JONES, but the Auto crat at Washington, to show his contempt for the popular will, immediately tendered to the discarded Representative the mission to Aus tria. The friends of the distinguished dinner eating JEHU were disposed to regard the offer as an insult, but it appears that lie could not afford to indulge in any such feeling, and it is announced that he accepts the post. If the President expects to provide for all the mar tyrs to Lecomptonism, he will be obliged to create some new offices. Mr. L. M. DKM OTT, traveling agent for JOHNSON, FRY & Co., Publishers, NEW York, is now engaged in canvassing and delivering to snliseribers, the Illustrated Life and Times of Washington, and other illustrated and standard works.

The Judge's letter of resignation shows that lie takes his rejection by the people very ranch to heart. An enthusiastic gathering of Ilepubli cans and Americans convened iu the Park, at New York, on Thursday afternoon, to express their gratification at the result of the late elec tion. Among the speakers was Hon. G. A. GROW, who delivered an eloquent address, elic iting the warmest applause. 1* IRE. —The dwelling honsc of JAMES SA.VTEE, in Towanda twp. f was destroyed by fire, with most of its contents, on Thursday last.
