to the appearance as to bear it almost with
out uneasiness. Itoccurred to them some
times, how odd it was to be living under
the weight of such a mystery; and they
Were silent when ghosts were tallied about
and felt and looked very serious when they
Were laughed at; but their alarm had sub
sided. The 'I hing never did them any
harm; and they had now got merely to
open drowsy eyes to see if it was there;
and to drop asleep the moment it was there
no longer. This may seem strange to
those who have not (and also to those who
have) seen ghosts; but we, none of us,
know what we may come to: and these two
ladies reached the point of turning their
heads on their pillows, without much beat
mg of the heart, under the gibbering of a
hideous ghost.
One circumstance worth noting is, ihat
the thing once , spoke. After one of its
mocking nods, h said,- ‘ I come to see you
whenever I please.’ When Mr. Gurney
was told this, he asked whether the lan
guage was English, and what sort of Eng
lish it-was. It must have been English, as
the ladies did not observe anything re
markable. As to the dialect, it had made
no particular impression upon them, but
when they came to remember and consider,
they thought it must have been the broad
dialect of the district, which they were ac
customedto heaivin the kitchen and m the
and shops, every day. This was
fill. Amidst the multitude of nightly visi
tations, no - explanation—no new evidence
occurred for several : years. - Mr. Gurney
was not fond of being puzzled. His plan
was to dismiss from his mind what puzzled
him. He seldom inquired after the ghost;
and when he did, he always received the
same answer. -----
One; morning, after this lapse of years,
Mr. Gurney called to ask the ladies if they
. would like to join a party to see a glass
house.-The residents of a manufacturing
town cannot intrude in such places; at their
own pleasure, but (as is well known) take
their opportunity when an arrival of stran
gers,l or other-such -occasion, opens the
doors of any manufactory. -Mr. Gurney
was the first man in the town, m regard to
doing-the honors of it; AH strangers were
introduced to him; and the doors of all show
places flew open before him. He was wont
to invite his friends in turn to accompany
him and his party ofstrangers to these show
places ; and he now invited the Whartons
,to th£ glass house. Miss Wharton was un
avoidablyl engaged at the school, but her
mother went.-
When the whole party, were standing
near one of the furnaces, observing the
coarsest kind of glass blowing—that of
" green glass bottles—Mrs. Wharton sud
denly- seized Mr. Gurney’s arm with one
hand, while with the other she pointed pqst
the glare; to a figure on the other side of
the furnace.
* That’s-theTace r she exclaimed m great
agitation. ‘Keep quiet and pull down your
Veil,’ teaid Mr. Gurney-in her ear. She
drew -back- into the shadow and let down
her veil, feeling scarcely able to stand.—
Mr. Gurney did not offer her his arm ; he
had something else to do.
‘ Who is thut man?’he inquired of the
foreman, who was showman at the moment.
The man inquired about looked scarcely j
human. He was stunted m figure. large
in face And hideous—making all allowance
for the puffing out of his qheeks, as he
blew vigorously atthe end of the Jong pipe
he was twirling in his baboon like hands
‘ That , poor fellow, sir? His name is
Middleton. -Tie is a half-wit—indeed very
nearly a-complete idiot. He is just able
to do what you see—blow the coarsest sort
of glass.’
Mr. Gurney wished to speak with him;
and the poor creature was summoned. He
came grinning; and he grinned yet more
when he was requested to show the glass
house to the gentleman. Mrs. Wharton,
With her veil down, hung on her friend’s
arm; and they followed the idiot, who was
remarkably light-footed, to the place he
was most-fond of. He took them down to
the annealing chamber; and then he observ
ed that it was .*a nice Warm place o’ nights.’
Being asked how he knew that, he began
pointing <Jvith his finger at Mrs. Wharton,
and peeping under her bonnet. Being ad
vised to look him. in the face, she raised her
veil; and-he sniggled and giggled, and said
he had seenher many a time when she
was asleep, and many a time when she
was awake; and another lady, too, who
was not there. - He hid himselfdown here
When the other men went away—it was so
warm, and then he could go when he pleas
ed, and see‘her there,’and the other, when
they were asleep. Mr. Gurney enticed
him to whisper how he managed it; and
then with an air of silly cunning, he show
ed a little square trap-door in the wall, close
by-the floor, through which he said he
passed. -It seemed too small for the pur
pose; but- he -crept m and out again. On
the other-side he declared was Mrs. Whar
• ton’s cellar.-- It was so. Far distant as the
glass house seemed from her house, it ran
back so far, the cellar running back also,
that they- met. -No time was lost in send
ing round to the cellar; and by a conver
sation held through the trapdoor, it was
ascertained that when Mrs. Wharton’s
stock of coal- was ■ low, that is, in summer,
and before a fresh supply came in in mid
winter, Middleton could get in, almost ev..
' ery night.- -When he did not appear it was
only because the coals covered ths? trap
door. ...
Who shall say with what satisfaction
the ladies watched the nailing up of the
trapdoor, and with what a sense of blissful
comfort they retired to rest henceforth?—
Who shall estimate the complacency of the
good clergyman at this complete solution of
the greatest mystery he ever encoun
tered? Who will not honor the courage of
the ladies, and rejoice that their dwelling
escaped the evil reputation of being a haunts
ed house? ! Lastly, who will not say that
most of the goblin tales extant may, if in
quired into;be as easily accounted for
tnat appertaming to the good Mrs. Whai©
ton: which-has this advantage over all.oth
er ghost stories—it is perfectly and literal
ly true.

Terrific Scene—Narrow Clacape
That Reimersburg Convention has furnished in,
-cinents for a great many newspaper paragraphs—
at least so tar as the Pittsburghdelegation is con*
cerned. We have already-given an account of the
adventure of Messrs. Liniann, NiTion. Wit.
JtanTa and Bur as®,who retorned from Freeport in
a stiff. We havejuat learned that some others of
the de!egaUon,tvbo went as far as Kttlanning, met
with still worse luck on their return home - They
“ took passage ■■ on Monday, on board of a keel*
boat, called the “Swiss boy,” at Kittanning, and
descended the Allegheny pretty comfortably with
out any incidents of importance occurring, until
about 1 o clock, when they encountered the terrific
storm, mention of which was made in yesterday's
paper. The 11 Swiss Boy ” became unmanageable
and was dashed around in every direction, at the
mercy of the gale. Our friend, M. D. Pattow,
211 Liberty street, who happened to have hold of
the rudder at the time, steering thetboat, was pre*
cipitated head foremost into the angry waters
Being a pretty good swimmer, he managed to
keep his head afloat, until a rope waa thrown to
him, when he wasdrawn up■» alive and kicking,’’
nltpough looking somewhat “ under the weather ”
■ The boat was dashed against the shore, when
friend Pattos dnd his comrades deemed it advis*
able to 11 leave her alone to her glory.” This re>
mainmg portion of " the Pittsburgh delegation to
the Reimersburg Convention ’■ then concluded to
travel the balance of the road on foot- How plea
sant it will be to talk these incidents over a few
years hence, when we have a fine Railroad along

The Loner Bt. Glair School Case.
OPINION OF JUDGE MCCLURE
Tne hearing is on a Ruts to show cause why the
eeals of Philip J. Smith.'Prcsident, Robt. H. Kelly,
Secretary, Abram Ambler, Dr. Joseph McCaskey,
James Richardson and Michael Knowles, School
Directors, in the District of Lower St. Clair Tp,
should not he declared vacant, and others appoint
ed in their 6tead until the next annual election lor
Directors.
The application is made upon the ground that
the Directors have refused and neglected, and still
do reiuse and neglect, to put and beep the schools
m said subdivisions in operation so far as tha
means of the District will admit-
To this Respondents answer that they bnve not
so refused and neglected to pnt and Jreep the
schooln in card subdivisions in operation no far as
ilbe means of the District will admit-
Thvs proceeding is in conformity with the man
ner prescribed by the School Laws of April 7th
1849, sect. 8. ’
Where men aro elected by the popular vote to
fill stations of responsibility, this Court will be
slow end sure before it exercises the power vested
m.it oi depriving them of their functions, and te.
moving them from their trust. In this proceeding,
since tbo argument, I have read with great csM
and attention the voluminous depositions on both
sides, numbering seventy-one pages; and have
failed to perceive any violation of tbo School Lnws
to sanction their removal. And the depositions
have failed to establish any conduct upon their
pail, either illegal or reprehensible, which would
warrant the interference or action of this Court in
ihe premises.
That tax payers in the School Dißtnct may en
tertain different opinions and form different judge
mente and conclusions with regard to their admin
istration of the powers commuted to them, is
natural and to be expected, for no public func*
tionary, be he whom he may, can please every
body. Independent ot the fact that the Complain*
ants have totally failed to make good their com
plaint, I am at a loss to know what possible good
a legal or judicial investigation of the conduct of
the Directors can achieve at this particular time
The annual election of Directors will be held in a
lew days, and if the people of the District do not
approve of the public conduct of those whom they
nave themselves elected, they can supply their
places with others. The remedy, It any, is in
their own hands, and there I will leave it
The Complainants have not onlyifatled to make
out their complaint before this Court, but I can
perceive no reasonable foundation for having made
any complaint .at all, and more especially at Ikit
peculiar time and season.
The Rules are discharged at the costa of Com*
Diamante.

Allegheny Cemetery—Reflections.
A fe w days since, availing ourself of a delight
ful afternoon, we took a stroll over the ground of
t!’ 6 |Al!®Sl ien y Cemetery—that beautiful, but sad
and silent city of the dead ■
We care not how degradediand ‘ abandoned an
individual, may be, it is impossible for-him to vis
tt a gcave.yard without feeling, for the time being
at least, that he is a wiser and a better man. The
mournful truth of his own frailty stnkea him with
irresistable force, and thinking that sooner or la
ter he too must he laid in the cold and cheerless
grave, ambition gives way to humility, re*
venge to kindness, and hatred to love The world,
with all its hollow mockery and idle pomp is for
gotten , fashion, rank beauty and station arc over
looked, and thatfor which maa ‘ toils all the night
and labors all the day,” ib deemed a worthle s
bauble.
r. Around us and about us are numerous end stri
king evidences of.our mortality.
Here lies one of tender years, happily removed
to heaven before becoming acquainted with the
vices, follies and sufferings of earth.
There repose the remains of a belle, cut down
in her youth and beauty; at the very moment,
perhaps, when she was meditating new conquests
the destroyer came, and Id I her graceful form and,
sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks wore turned to
dUBt.
By her side sleeps in that sleep which knows
no waking, the generous youth of noble feelings
and lofty aspirations. With intellect, education
and troops of friends, his career promised to be
long, useful and honorable; but scarcely had he
struck out in the world s great sea. when he wes
suddenly removed from time to eternity Alas 1
how true it is that
’• All lhat’s bngbtrauit fade.
The brightest, anil the fleetest 1
All that’* street wa* made,
But to be lost when sweetest. 1 ’
There is the resting place of a distinguished
lawyer and an eminent statesman. At tho bar be
was ever the bold and eloquent champion of injur
ed innocence; in Congress he waa the fearless de
fender of the rights and honor of his native land
Admirably qualified to command the applause of
listening Senates, and to originate such measures
as would make Ins country ■■ wide and strong.'
death claimed him as his own at the time his pro*
mite was greatest, when his intellect was fully
matured, and when he must have stood among the
foremost spirits of the age.
Close by reposes one whom living we respected
and dead, honor. With a face beaming with mirtb.
and an eye that absolutely laughed, his heart waa
big and generous, and his parse as open as day to
melting charity. Of him we say as Cnaries
Lamb said of u Hester,"
Oar sprightly neighbor, gone before.
Tothstunknown sad silent shore.
Shall we not meet us heretofore.
Some summer morning T"
Nor must we forget the rich man. Stately
rows, broad fields end swelltog acres were once
his; now he lies here, " eu heir to some 6ix feet of
•oil.’ The wealthy have always meuy friends
and hundreds of his friends partook ot his hospi
tality and revelled at lus sumptuous table, but,
hurried from their midst,bo sleeps at the side of a
beggar, and, deprived of Ihe power to give and
receive, is now only able to-ufford “ food for a .pot*
itic congregation of worms.' 1
But it were a useless task to dwelt on the qual
ities of all who sleep beneath the *od on which
we stood. Wherever wB, cast our eyes we could
trace the course ot the desolating monster Re
gardless of age, sex and condition, it had reduced
all to one common level. Here lie side by side
the sweet infant and wrinkled age, tho man of
princely fortune and the humble laborer, the grand
lady who once “flounted in silk ‘ anil the poor
seamstress who lolled for a shilling per day—the
devoted student, whose library was his world, arid
the swarthy arlizan, who labored over his anvil—•
statesman who originated measures for the
prosperity of bis country, and the chattering idiot,
who thought the pleasures ol hie were to be found
in glittering toys and senseless play.things.- All
had become the victims of death—all vvera com
pelled to surreoder at his command
Deab Mu. Hawes—Wilt you oblige mo and tho
rest ofvoankind, by advising all your lady readers
to attend Miss Coates* iocturca no Physiology. It
may bo a long time before they have another oppore
tuoity of taking lessons on this subject from a lady,

learn the secrets of the houses they inhabit. Aa

of being a widower, yotjr influence with tho ladies
may not be vory great; but whatever it is,do please

Pittsburgh, February 25th.
Prosperity of Great Britain,
An English correspondent of tho New York Com
mercial Advertiser writes, uodor date of January
28th: f.. ;;
Business generally, all'over the Kingdom, never
was so steady and flourishing as at present. Every
man wanting workman find it. Pauperism is di
minishing rapidly. -In Iho London Union on Chris),
maa day, 1850, there were thirty thousand les-in
door aod out-door poor than on Christmas day, 1849;
and iu the manufacturing districts there has been a
scarcely less wonderful diminution—a change that
has been gradually brooght about by tho absence of
political agilation aud the working or our free trade
system. There hat boon no rapid mcrcaso ol wages
or any thing else indicative of o feverish, speculative
oxettemant. Tbo improvement seoms likely to he
permanent.
In Ireland a similar condition of things la taking
place. The famine caused many to emigrato and
the population Is more in proportion to the demand
for labor. The operation of the “ rmeumbered oa*
tales bill” has drawn from England to Ireland somo
farmers of capital and skill, and as a real utlo is
conferred by the act ofsale, many Irishmen of email
or moderate capital are taking possession ortho lard.
This will gradually but surely create a pretty niton*
sivo tmddlo class there, which ib just whst Ireland
has long needed.
Thial Foa Mubdek.—Henry M. Johnson,of iVa
terbury, Connecticut, hasjast been convicted of kill -
ing Judaon Bronson, of that town on tho 26th nit.
.The evidence indicated hostility on tho part of tho
decoasod arising from jealousy, and countenanced
the assumption that Johnson struck Bronson iu sup
posed self defence. He was found guilty of murder
in the second degree, and therefore sentenced to
the State PrißOu for life.
Mode Sjhihpeawebs.—Nearly all the eating houses
and saloons in the city of York aro now issu
ing Shinplssters for various amounts—from six ceuts
and n quarter, up to fifty. Some ol them are done
on simple cards, others on bank note paper in tho
form of bills, and beautifully engraved. Saarcily of
silver is said to bo tbo cause. 1
Eloquent Tmbitte.—Park Godwin, speaking of
tho fame of Aududon, the grhat American ornitholo
gist, and gifted sou of the South, uses the following
appropriate and boautifol language : From every
hill-top, and every deep shady grove, the birds, thcß
“living blossoms of the air,” will sing his name
The little wren will pipe it in her maun hymn about
our houses; the oriole carol it from the slender graas
et of the meadows; the turtle dove roll it through
the secret forests; the many-voiced mocking bird
pour it along the evening .air ; and the Imperial, the
bird of Washington, as he sits in his craggy home,
far up theMue mountains, will scream it to the tem
