A Curiosity
A Lancaster paper says: A steel shaving
some twenty-two feet in length, was presented
to Mr. §chaetTer Metzger, of the firm of Miller
& Metzger, a few days since, by a friend at
Harrisburg. The shaving is quite a curiosity in
its way, being spirally formed and having not a
single flaw in it. The shaving has been plaeed
on exhibition in the saloon of Miller & Metzger,

The Usury question.
Mu. 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.

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

news reached them,-they were in &condition to

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. So the lunely hours passed.
ttaul alma% I welre a clock, when a Cry was
in ale dist-tnee, sonntling like a Hal. It
se;Orttratne nearer, no that two small bulls of
tire were seen. The party had nnthlng to dehmil
tliem.elven with. and such Elerllllloll7, as th,
young ladies !node, and the punt? Mchl — fit, -nasty haste" would nut 1.; ,, away,and kept
them escort until morning The• party tier,
glad 'u get home. and det-htre they u ill never
go berrying as ale , an they Were made fun or,
and laughed at by all for hating so bibl, as they
said I,efore going, nothing could score their.

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.
