Enrron :—Whether you will succeed in abolishing, checking,or even shaming the "curb stone" and other usurers, who are robbing from the community a large share of their honest earnings or not, you s may be well assured that in your efforts, you have the sympathy and good wishes of most, If not all, the right thinking and right feeling part of the community—in the county at least. No man can read the Bible and fail to see that what we now call usury, the exacting fur the use of money;a larger interest than any honest or necessary business can afford to pay, therein condemned. It is in direct violation of the Golden rule, and contrary to all good con science. I pass by the shameless violation of the law of our State, and place it upon the broad ground of common conscience, common fight, and common honesty. That he who has money to lend, and asks or takes more for the use of it, than any business or occupation nee ovary for the support and nvijinv of the cotnmu nity can afford to pay, can have no claim to be called, or considered to he, a Christian or o:en a moral luau. .liow what interest can the farmer or mechan ic, who toil for their living affonl to pay ? The answer will come up with a shout from every man of sense, whatever may be his business, not over air per cent. The profits upon their bus iness, will not exceed five per cent. upon an av erage, all beyond that paid is for accommoda tion on the one side, and risk on the other. The man who has turned his property into money, or who has kept his money instead of purchas ing property, has no moral right to desire a larger pmflt,than the businc of life can afford to pay. All be exacts beyond that is ertorti.. , crime whicu alike with tiro ry, tinrepenied of, will shut a man out of the Kingdom of God, if the Bible correctly lay down the rule. Teachers , Institute.

Slam*kw Calamity I The most unusual and terrible calamity took place on the mountains five miles (tom Scran ton, last Tuesday afternoon, August 12th, at a place called Coon's Patch, and the most intense excitement is caused throughout the entire city and its surroundings. A large number of women and children were on the hills as usual gathering berries when a tearful storm came up from the south, and they ran into an unoccupied building to take shelter froin the pouring rain. About twenty women and children found room in the old house,while seven were obliged to stand outside and endure the storm as best as they could. The storm continued to increase in fury, and the sheets of fire became More vivid and the peals of thunder more frequent and terrible,un til the frail building in which so many had Mk-, en shelter, shook in all its parts; when a charge of lightning more blinding and fatal than those which bad preceeded it, descended among the unhappy group of women and girls, killing two instantly, and shockingly wounding 20 others, tearing and burning the flesh Off their limbs. producing the most heartrending scene that can be imagined. Thaw who had not been touched by the electric fire; were so shocked by it, and paralyzed by the appaling scene around, that they Were unable for some time to render any aid to the suffering and dying victims. . Some of the party, most competent for the task, ran We help 'to the neare s t settlement.— Tie sad news soon reached Scranton, and par ties were dispatched over the hills to the fatal spot, with wagons, medicines, bedding on which to carry the wounded to the city or their homes. The storm lad rendered the roads to the mountains altnost impassable,and It was not, ascertained at a late hour last night, the tulles- tent of the calamity. The relatlyes and friends of the absent women and children, were frantic with excitement, and rushed over - the hills In the direction of the fatal , scene, Weeningand In quiring of every One they passed, the way, and ' the names of the dead and wounded. In all mining actidents none his created a More Intense excitement. The angry storm itself, filled the inhabitants for miles around, with fait and forebodings:and - when the fatal news reached them,-they were in &condition to Imagine the 'worst result.

The Tobacco Crop, The Lancaster Intelligenecr thus refers to the yield of tobacco lu that vicinity: We have nothing new to note in regard to our local to bacco market except that it continues inactive and prices remain about the same as heretofore reported. The coming crop Is growing finely, and although the acreage is comparatively smaller and the growth of most of the plants was greatly retarded by the summer drought the late rains have been of Immense advantage and the crop bids fair to yield a paying reven ue to those who had the boldness to plant in the face of the great unsold crop of last year.

LETTER FROM WYO3IING VALLEY. liorromi oF DMIOCIUT:—There has until inc*.luierest occurred in Clue town since our last, Itta we wilt note n few items that have happened In our vicinity, for the past week, which may be of interest to your renders. Last Tuesday, a terrible disaster occurred at a Once called Kuhus Patch. A large number of women and girls were on the hills gathering berries, when a storm came up. and they rushed to an untenantctl building, to take shelter from the rain. Some forty persons In all found roma in the old h ,use, while several were obliged to stand out in the storm. At length the lightning came more vivid than any that had preceded It, descending among the group of women and girls, killing two of them, and scorching in a fearful manner, several others, and tearing the flesh from their limbs, producing et heartrend ing scene among the mini& stricken party.— Some of the party who stood outside the shed, said that the excitement was so beat when they left the sad scene, that they could not bear to go near the house, nor to hear the groans of those within, who were suffering the most dreadful agony. One of the women standing on the outside at the time the lightning struck the ill-fated [mute, save the min was falling In torrents and all emwd...al to the door. When the lightning struck the house, one awful chor us of screams filled the air, and at the Right of the dead, and those whose flesh had been stripped hunt their bones in places, several fain- Led. It was sometime before any one could be induced to go for assistance, so great was the fear that had fallen upon them. The hail storm of Tuesday last, did great damage In this section of the country, we hear from all parts of the county of the damage done by It. The farmers say they never remember of so great a storm, whole fields of corn and buckwheat being destroyed, and no wonder, as hail stones large as good sized marbles were picked up. The trains on the several railroads were detained, on account of heavy land slides along the road. The storm lasted the greater part of last week. The water in the Susque hanna river Is raising, and we may have "high water," and the banks of the river become ov erflown, that would damage the farmers having crops along the river to a great extent, but at present writing the clouds seem' to be breaking away, and all have hopes that the storm is at an end. We understand the Erie railroad company have purchased coal lands in Pleasant Valley, and intend to ship coal North. It may help the people living lu your vicinity, as they intend supply the market which the I). L. & W. IL R. Co. have monopolized for so many year. We noticed Prof. Copeland on our streets last week. Ile has returned from his vacation, nod is now getting prepared fort the commencement of school in the Wyoming Seminary, which is to commence on the third of next month. We Judge he will have a full school, as applications are coming, in for admittance, almost constant ly. If we had friends wishing to graduate, as could not n.fer them to a better conducted school than this one. Parties still continue to go berrying on the mountains. One particular party wits out some days since, and concluded to stay on the inoun- Lain all night, which in not a very desirable place, except to the bold and daring, as the nidatutains are inhabited by wild beasts, such as bears, panthers, wihleaLn, and snakes,. but nev• ertheless, they would nose all night. So prepa ratMils were made to Camp out, supper gitt,,n w cline hi rest had come. One was to *Melt while t ice others slept.

Eirpton, Pa, Aug. 18th. 1873 LETTER FROM MINNESOTA "EDITORS OF THE DEMOCILAT night or storm and darkness has just past, but now, "The morn is up again, the dory morn, With breath all incense and cheek all bloom, Laughing the clouds away with playful scorn, And ginning into life." So tht day comes forth, and nature rejoices in her fresh and luxuriant garments. Stretch ing away, far us the eye can reach, over the rol ling prairies,what &glorious scene! A garden of untold wealth and beauty I Here, perhaps, be side some winding stream, bordered with flow ers of sweet i crime, the verdant, shady wooes spread out their leafy branches, and there, again. the meadow, and such measureless fields of grain, rank and green, and golden, maturing for the reapers, and swaying in the light wind as it counterfeiting. in miniature, the waves of the ocean. Ti) him who has looked only upon the hills and valleys of the rugged East, these hountlims prairies of the great West, were a novelty Indeed. While some are level as a floor, others are rolling like the sea under mot ion,but not enough to Intercept the view, which is com paratively unlimited. Standing out upon them, with the blue sky bending above, one scents to be in the centre of the universe, end the "hori zon that girts him round, the world's extreme." In the midst of such creation, the question of identity arises, so insignificant Ls man, it mere speck in immensity. In a word, the prairies are sublimely grand, yet become by fainilianty, almost painfully monstrous. The water here is good; climate unusually healthy; soil fertile and reasonable in price. The crops this season arc especially fine. Probably, never in the his tory of this• country, was there promise nt a mote abundant. With no intetveuing destrtm- I Lion, these granaries will be filled sufficient for a small world, at least, and It would appear, if netsary,ito endure through a famine like the Egyptian of old. As In most parts of tee west, the population is'very much mixed. Few ma tion7s are without representation, unless, it bq the 'heathen Chinese," who, I believe, has not yet pit In an appearance, however, "Which I wish to remark, That for ways that are dark, And tricks that are vain, even in the absence of such, some peeulPiritseA exist in this vicinity. For the benefit of Those who wish further information upon this subject, I append the following. - They (the furfners here) are, I suppose, d , :t , endants of Adam and Eve, who once inhabited a place called Eden.in the midst of whieh stmxl the tree of Knowledge, f o rbidden of them to eat. It is recorded that they ' disobeyed the command, by partaking t h en w, to become! wise. Now they (the said fur 'net's) may resemble their great anceshrs in some resp-cts, but without capacity or desire, they can ho in no possible .danger of commit ting a similar offence. This I trust is tolerably luminous. They also, have a look and way of theleown. Those who 'do not inherit or possess a disposition to gain their bread by the "sweat of their brOwe . 10bir and go another wsy, wh:clr le. not always Wag but crowded, so t'.l3t many fail to find a passage, and, therefore, de. pend upon their nrucelea for a living. This gives the men a fine physical development. As for the female women of this community, I auk not prepared to say at what predict period they were most beautiful. It is said that "distance lends enchantment to the view," which if cor rect, it may have been "time out of mind." I smuctimes quote a passage to adorn my tilM slung. One occurs to me now. "How fearfully and wonderlblly made." To erase next to the last went this sentence might perchance be more expressive for the purpose designed It may be a mistake, but I cannot let this oppor tunity pass without AntillEig ntjention to, and congratulating myself upon the succm of in troducing such a happy figure of speech upon so appmpriate okn.ion. Btu, however much I appreciate and admire the West, I would not claim for it a monopoly of excellencies; for I sometimes turn with a longing look towards . toy native land, the East, and feel that "with all toy faults I love the still." So - much for so much. In conclusion, allow me to add that, In trav elling over these western countries,l am contin ually reminded of the truth and fumy of the prophetic language of Whittler. "I hear the tread of pioneers, of nations yet to be, The first low wash of waves, where soon Shall roll a human sea.. "The rudiments of empire here Are plastic yet and warm, The chaos of a !nighty world Is rounding into form." And so progress and civilization are marching on with gigantic strides, opening up with oz and plow, these frontiers of wilderness and praii ies, to cultivation, a'sd leaving in their pathway the thriving towns and villages, and cities, that are sprMg.-ig up as if by magic, on every band. Not in all the wide world is there another such a living illustration of the tact that, "not on downy plumes, nor under shade of canopy reposing" the great battle of life is won. G. W. Lirox.
