In consequence of the late hour, at which the communication on this subject was re- - ceived last week,we had time to append a few remarks only, by way' of comment. We still urge the simple objection then alluded to, that other products of the land, wheat, corn, rye !cc., might with the same propriety, be taxed as well as Coal. .Coal is a product of the land, just as much as the others, and one too for which; as we shall (aow present ly, the land is heavily taxed as st \ producing medium. But suppose for a moment, that the same policy were adopted in all the States, and each ooe ihould tax i for .State revenue, that staple of 'which it produced and exported the most. If Pennsylvania sets, the example, and enriches her Treasury at . the expense of her - sister States, we, may. fairly expect that they . will also tax their products. The South will tax its cotton— the West will tax its agricultural Rrodticts, — and the Eastern manufactures will, in sell derenee, raise the price oT their goods. Be sides the obvious impolicy of such a - course, it is unconstitutional.. Na tax or duty is allowable upon Articles exported from one State to another. Coal is moreover one of the necessaries of life—it - is just as indis pensable to our comfort as bread. But we have still another reason, why the wise Canal Com Missioner's suggestion should not be carried out. There is ,already a,suf ficient tax on Coal—a tax heavier, in pro portion, than upon any other product... If unfrequently amounts to 3 or $4OO per acre. A tract of land, for instance,' embra cing several hundred acres, though perhaps but one-fourth or one sixth of it is Coal land, is assessed for State'and county purposes, at an average value- of 870 (some tracts are laxed at' $5O SSO and $l00,) tnahing the owner or lessee pay a quadruple or a much larger tax on the acres that -actually pro duce Coal, although the rest of his tract is comparatively tireless. This too, remem- be'r, is fur wild mountainous - ountairio - us—lao except for its Coal products, would iiarbe. valued at more than $5. or $lO. an acre. It is therefore plain that the Coal lands, as such, are ;axed even higher than lands yielding other products, and that to impose additional duties would necessarily_ tend to crush , caurely the interests of a trade, already crippled and burdened by other influences. Such a recommendation comes with a very bad grace (ruin uue,' of .whom we 'naturally expected every eucourag,ement, that would tend to develop the resources of the State, and extend her business capacities. We fear the people may regret their unworthy choice. Instead of such a course, tending to check the increase of so valuable a pro duct, every lawful means should be used to relieve its present embarrassed condition,aud every inducement presented to extend and encourage the trade. RR. HIINTRWS BILL Many inquiries are made respecting the operation of this Bill upon the Coal and !rod' Interests. Several explanations have . already been given—we published one last week from the Philadelphia Ledger. Hon. C. W. - Pitman, our Representative, who has just returned from Washington, gives us the following still further explanation. The construction, - that will be put upon • the Bill by the Secretary of the Treasury, will em• brace all costs and charges, including freight, except Insurance. If these costs amount to $6 on Iron, the additional `Protection at 30 per cent. will be 61,80 per ton. On Coal,, the cost and charges being about equal to the value of Coal abroad, the present duty Will be nearly doubled. This duty on Coal is quite sufficient, so fir as mere protection to that article is concerned, but the advantage is of very little practical benefit in the end, if the consumers are not also protected. Mr. P. states that this is the version given the Bill by Secretary Corwin himself. Since , the above was in type, we ob siro that a writer in the Philadelphia Notih American denies that freight is inclu ded under the head of charges," aucteonse quently that this recent act gives no addition al+proteation to any interest, other than was afforded by the act of 1846. But the opinion given above , differs from this last suggOtion, and Mr. Pitman assures us that ,he slrt4lo on the Secr e tary personally,for the purpose of obtaining his construction of the PEOPLE'S ROAD. Mr. Dobbins has presented, in the Lower House of the Legislature, a Bill for a charter for the new road, and we learn that thechan ces of its success are still highly favorable. We would recommend that a Mass meeting be called in the County as early as possible, anti that a committee 4e appointed to 'visit Harrisburg, and other measures adopted to second the endeavors of our Representatives in favor of the project. : The making of a new road is the only se curity the people'of this County can have against the curtailment of their business ca pacities, and the final ruin of the trade of the Region. Those who control the Rail Road do not seem to have any interest in com mon with the people of the County--on the contrary,the evident tendency of theircourse, manifests a spirit directly hostile and adverse to our interests. and the sooner we render ourselves independent of them, the better our prospects for future wealth and prosperity. (CrJustice to the Volunteers.—The mem bers of the &Cond. Regiment of the Penn sylvania Volunteers In the Mexican War; have submitted a lengthy report to the State Senate, correcting ceitain erroneous impres aions, in regard to the Ist. and 2d. regiments having received gratuitously large sums of money from 'the General Government, to de fray their expenses during the war. The false impression originated in misrepresenta tions, made in a repoit by the Finance Com mittee, to the Senate of the session:of 1847. The memdrialists endeavour to expose the injustice done these two regimentsof Volun teers by that Committee. They handle the affair without glover's. 17Schuylkell atrial qpened—The first boat arrived at Philadelphia on Monday last from Reading by the canal. It is presumed he whole line will be opened next week. The Cotamittee on Divorce", in the Lower House 'uf the Legislature, were unable to agree in the case of Dr. William Wetherill, and on motion, Mr. hiciteynolds,ot Columbia county, was added on Saturday last. •We are rather surprised at this, as we had hardly supposed there could be a division of senti ment on a question so plain. We may ex pect to see the Bill before the House shortly. as there is now a majority , one way or the other. We lately observed that a,•remosi strance against this application of Dr.= Weth erell had been gotten up in Philadelphia, signed by'a number of the ablest divines, and most influential citizens—among whom were Bishop yotter, Rev. Dr. Chapman, Rev. Dr. Boardman, Rev. Dr. Don, and others, on the ground that it iwas setting a bad example and encouraging immorality. The case is exciting very general interest throughout the whole State. We shouldn't like to stand in the shoes of any member who votes in favor of the Petition, for, like Cain, he will havc a mark set upon him. We believe that nothing will so much tend to the advantage of railroads as low paying hues. It is large numbers in the ag gregate which tell best on the receipts alter all. When our present postage law was reformed . from 25 to 10 cents on letters for whatever distance, many predicted that the expense would far overtop the revenue.— This has been tried and found to result in quite a different balance—it being in favor of the low postage. There is a minimum point in low fares, but in many railroads they have not descended to that point, al though if they would, we have no doubt, but, as in the ease of letter postage,the result would be beneficial. We like to see cheap means for the many to travel. It makes man more human to see the world run round in a rail road car. Railroads are grand means for facilitating travel and brushing away the mat from drowsy swains, and nothing can tend more,to this than Cheap trains.--Scien fific American. That's the doctrine exactly. This is the policy we have alivays advocated. Nothing would tend more to enhance the value of property, an d to develop the resources of the Valley of the Schuylkill, as well as to enrich our lines of public improvettient,fle a reduction on their rates of fare and toll. It would give a new impetus to business. The agriculturalists would be encouraged— manufactures would be established—travel and transportation would be increased, and the reciprocal action of the two distinct in terests would greatly promote and increase. the wealth of both. Gas or no gas seems to be , the questiOn rn Reading. The City Fathers are inclined to leave the people in darkness—they don't want to touch the subject. The question to us is, very plain one— especially since we :an now speak from ex perience. Reading should be well lighted =every town should be—it is beneficial in a moral point of view, as well as for mere convenience. Now whether gas is or is not the best, and,in the end, the most economical light in' this age of new inventions, depends probably upon the taste of the consumer.— We are pleased Vith ours, although the price is rather " salty":—but nothing could induce us to return to the leeks and on ions ". and oil lamps of our Aegyptian his -. iory. which We observe several recent attempts at burglary in Reading. There is nu surer way of curing such disorders thairbf bring ing their perpetrators to the light. Among the bills passed at the last session of Congress, and which, with the sanction, of the President, now become laws, the following may be enumerated as the most important : The General Appropriation bills, tha bill making appropriations to Light louses, the bill to prevent Constructive mileage, the bill limiting the Liabilities of American Ship Owners, the bill to ascertain and settle Private Land claims. in California, the Joint Resolution authorizing the• President to send a GovernMent Ship to the Mediteninean to bring Kossuth and his Companions to the United States, the Resolution to extend to the widows of Revolutionary Soldiers the benefit of the Act of 1841-3-4, the bill to provide au Asylum for aged and disabled Soldiers, the resolution making Bounty Land Warrants assignable, the Postage bill, the bill in relation to Post routes, and the bill appointing General Appraisers of Mer chandise. Mr: Frailey read in place a bill on Friday of last week proposing to extend: the limit of Fifty Dollars contained in the let and 2nd sections of the Act Of Assembly of February 19, 1849, entitled an Act for the protection of Miners, Mechanics and Laborers; to One Hundred Dollars, as far as refers to the Coun ty of Schuylkill. A Bill passed the Senate on Monday to in corporate the Tremont and Mt. Eagle Rail road. A Bill passed the House on Wednesday last, to incorporate the Schuylkill County Agricultural Society. The Senate has resumed :he consideration of the Free Banking Law. It has elicited a number of amendments, and considerable discussion. 0:7"“. Raked Down."—Marshall Tukey, with a posse of officers, made a descent up- ' on ten gambling establishments of Boston last week. A number of arrests were made —many of the victims belonged to "first families. " They were hand•cuffed and strung together, like marketable onions, to the number of several scores, and . handed over to close quarters, for safe keeping and a wholesome diet at the expense of the Com monwealth. The affair has created con siderable sensation in the city. The stakes, grabbed by the Matshall,", amounted to near $3,000. The gamblers, numbering 86, old and young. were brought before the Police Court on Tuesday last, and mulcted, to the tune of $5, each. They took the matter very coolly—a great many jests and witticisms were delivered on the occasion. Canal Cannnissicmi .—The Lewistown Vazelle proposes the lion. Charles W. Pit man as the next Whig candidate for this office. The recommendation is endowed by the Blair county-Whig, with the most flat tering enconiums. We have observed 8 aim ilarstiggestion from. several other quarters before. Mr. Pitman had the largest vote of any previous candidate for Congress in the State. His popularity so universally admitted, is a certain guarrantee of his election. if he re ceive the nomination. . Any more of the swne son t—The Lebanon Courier says that the appraisers in the estate of Wes Molly Molly, dec'd, an old maid who lately resided near the line be. tween Bethel hid Bwatara townships, in looking over her property and effects, found stowed away in some secret drawer or recess, the round sum of twentpone hundred dollars, sixteen hundred of w hich was in specie. It, no doubt, hid. been lying there for many years. A few moreezeh discoveries would greatly , relieve the present =dither of the meaty market. • DIVOROgi. LOW ItAILELOAD FLUES. LIGHT IN READING. NEW LAWS. STATE LEGISLATURE. , THE , MINERS' JOURNAL, ANP I 'I'OTTSVILLE GENERAL ADVERTISER. DISCOVICIIIICS BY ACCIDIIL, TIT The chief discoveries in the arts hare been made by accident, not from forethought or a deep knowl edge in the principles of nature. We copy-the above from an Exchange, commenting upon the accidental discovery of the manufacture of plate glass. To the casual observer, the remark seems correct ; accident, • alter all the noisernade about labor and study and research, is the author of our greatest artistic and scientific 'discoveries, and consequently of our greatest blessings. But the premises are fallacious, and hence the 'conclusion deduced is fairly ; incorrect. There is a deep current of,thought —of philosophical reasoning, that flows si lently, but steadily beneath the bubbling surface of mere circumstances or occident. This the uninitiated and careless cannot or will not fathom, brit draw their conclusions from mere superficial observation. Newton had, for many yearS, been sounding the depth of his inventive genius, to conjure up some way of accounting : tor the phonomena of gravita tion, before the accidental all of an apple set his thoughts in the happy train, that resulted in his immortality. This phenomenon was nothing unusuaL Why had not the same thing suggested the same result before'? or _why could norothers, who witnessed similar phenomena emery day, draw similar inferen ces ? The discovery of the first application of steam power, is attributed to the simple act of Capt. Save!) , dousing the neck of a heated wine bottle into a basin of cold water. But think you the Captain had never reflected upon the subject before? Think you he had never imagitied a thousand ways of accom plishing his favorite end ? The subject was by no means 4 new one ; every body in Eng land was, at that time, more or less occupied with the great practical question of pumping nut the water from the mines of the country. Capt. Savery had,uo doubt, busied himself fur months in a problem of so general interest and importance. It was always .first and . uppermost in his,thoughts, and his ever ac tive mind readily found an excuse for the• silly experiment of the wine flagon, in the conclusion it instantlysuggested for his long sought labors. So with Taqicelli, iii his discovery of the phiiosophic phenomenon, which bears his name, and his refutation °file dogina of the' wiseacres of:theday,that " nature abhorred a vacuum." His labors, on the principle of our Eichange, ought to be credited to the experience of an old Ittilian well-nigger. So with Galvanism ; so also, it is said, the plan of the safety-valve of the Steam-Engine was first tried by:a boy, whose genius suggested the placing of a weight on the valve, as a ready excuse' from a tedious job. Thus a host of examples might be mentioned, in which accident has played a part equally conspicuous, On the co4trary. the discovery of our con tinent may justly . be attributed to accident. Columbus left the shores of Spain, with an 'entirely different Object in view—he wished to find a Weperu passage to the Indies, and in the prosecution of his experiment, ran blindly against the new-world. Nor was he the wiser, historY tells us, for some lime afterwards. Hence the name, Indians, he gave to the inhabitants of the newly discov ered country, thinking it a part of the Indies —the object of his voyage. This was acci dent. But not so with Newton and Torri celli and Sacery. They had for years been in search of truth. The ,same phenomena. which finally determined the results of their investigations had occured again and again —but their minds were not ready for such developements. But when, after years Of toil, the little seed of truth, long and patient ly cultivated, had at length matured - and was just ready to burst its gentle bonds, and unfold its beauties to the astonished world, an accident-the fall 'of an apple, or the su perstition of an ignorant well-digger, occurs just in the niche of time, and'the truth flash es like light upon the delighted mind. Perhaps our own Kirkwood may look back and bless the day, when some schoolboy, in in his unsophisticated simplicity, scrawled upon the blackboard the proportion, which formed the key to that beautiful ‘, analogy," that has since rendered its author famous. But the boy—the boy, says our authority, de- I serves the credit. It was he that, by acciden tally dotting down a few figures, gave rise to this great discovery, that has since joined two names, Kepler andllirkwooti, by ties that the lapse of ages will not be able to sever. No, the same figures had been written a thousand - tithes before, but no Kirkwood was there to interpret them. He had seen the same proportion many a time, but his mind was not yet prepared to comprehend it. It required years of labor, and deep faithful research, followed by repeated disappoint ments,' before the chain ofrreasoning was fully complete, and the mind properly fitted to grasp a truth so comprehensive. Acci dent, far frOm being the cause, is but an item, collateral and insignificant, proportionate to the final result, in the long succession of reasoning, necessary to obtain it. (17° Curious. Case.—A requisition has been made by Gov. Johnston,upon the Gov: ernor of Maryland, for the person of J. S. Mitchell of: that State, to be tried for a via lation of the laws of this State against kid napping. Gov. Lowe refuses to give him up, on the ground that he was the owner of the woman' who was carried' to Maryland from Philadelphia, by Alberti and Price, who were lately'convicted of kidnapping her child, which was born in Pennsylvania, and which by the laws of Maryland would be a slave, but by our laws free. Mr. Mitchell, it is asserted was never in Pennsylvania and committed no offence against our laws. TO TIM, PEIENDS OP OEN. SCOTT.

IC ocal Rocrui f.# eIW Coirt of Quarts &snafu. blarab,HOtb, 1851.—Covet commenced ai 11 o'clo ck, A. 'M and after the usual bosiziess oethe morning was finished, his HonOr, Lather Kiddee, l informed this GrandAury that a greater amount of criminal brucinesswonist6i presented to them than uSual, during the week. In his charge, he stated, that froth information laid ber fore the Coati, dissipation and drunkenness pres veiled, to en alarming eiteat, throughout the Coal Region, in ecinsequennei of the numerous Porter and Beer Shop, in aftnest every portion of the county ; and that be vionld call their attention, more particularly, to the law, upon the subject, during the sitting of the Jury. The first case called was the Commonwealtb'es• David Kugler—Surety of the Peace, on oath of Jeremiah Gerber. In consequence of some misun derstanding between the Parties, the Court made no disposition of the' costs but dismissed the case— David Kuglerbeing, a mere lad, only fourteen years of age, and his lather-berg bound over to answer a similar charge. I Com. vs. Frederick Kugler, surety of the peace, l on oath of Jeremiah Getter. 'The parties, in this case, it appears, live in the township of West Penn, and stood in the relation:of landlord and tenant. lt, appeared, in evidence, j that Mr. Keugler gave a lease to Mr. Gerber, fora number of years, but in conseqUence of his failing to comply with the con ditions thereof, Keugter insisted upon his leaving the Said farm, and, surrendering the lease. In con sequence of Gerber declining to comply with this polite request, Keugleeused some strong language, accented with some choice oaths, which frightened Gerber, who complained to a Justice of the Peace and K. was bound over to answer at our Sessions. After hearing the evidence, the Court sentenced Mr. Keugler to pay the costs of the prosecution, and to give security to iieep ttuipeace! for 6 months . I in the sum of one hundred chillers. -Mr. Keugler complied with the sentence, and left the Court 1 with a sorrowful heart.i Corn. vs. Mary Sitter, disorderly house, on oath 1 of Charles Lawton, Chief Burgess of St. Clair ;Jiiry trial. This was en action against Mrs. Sitter, for keeping a disorderly house is the borough of St. 1 Clair. The Conimouvsealth, upon the trial, gave ' in evidence the general ,chareeter of the house, and several witnesses swore positively that they heard dancing and fiddling there, at all hours of the night, —that at these times they saw the girls fighting, pulling hair, iSre , and drinking spirits, and some of the nice young men stated that they remained there courting the ladies EMUI the small hours of the morning. In consequence of there being but one count in the indtctment, viz. for-adisorderly house, the Jury acquitted Mary of the 'charge, but after 'the verdict, several stated that, had there been a count in the indictment, charging her with keeping dtippliaghouse, a different verdict would have been 1 tendered. The Court, however, after the acquittal, I called-Mary before them, and informed her, • that if she ever came lielore' them again; uporia similar charge, the law should;be dealt out to her hi a dif- ferent manner. "County for costs. COM. vs. Jenkin ROvards, disorderly houseon oath of Chas. Lawton; Chief Burgess of St. Clair : Jury trial. This was a case of similar character I with the preceding one; The mass of the evidence, however, we.' stronger on part of the. Common wealth, but the personal infirmity of Jenkin Ed wards rendered hint an object of sympathy with the Bench and Bar. ft is well known that poor Jenkin is but n mere cipher in his own house, con sequently many. honest persons wished the ,wite was only placed in his position. After consultation with his Attorney, Edwards withdrew the plea of not goilty, and substitined that of guilty, and the Court sentenced him to pay a fine of five dollars and, the costs of prosecution. Not having the eight° defray the same, Jenkin commenced boarding with C. M, Straub, High Sheriff of the County. Corn. vs. John Heiriner, Assault and Battery, on oath !of John Mennig. Grand Jury, returned the bill Ignoramus, and the Court sentenced the prose cutor John Mennig, to the costs of prosecution Costs paid. I _ _ _ Com. vs. John G Renna, Assault and Battery, on oath of Maria Longe--"lgnoramus:" Same day Court sentenced Maria to pay, the costs of the prosecution. Cum. vs. William Ashen; Assault and Battery on oath of Mary Williams—"lgnoramus." Coun V for costs Corn. vs William Arbert, Larceny, on oath of James Richards—"lgnoramus." County for wits. dom. a. Wm. Hoff, Thos. Snyder and George Gebble, forcible entry and-detainer, on oath of Petet Filbert ; Jury trial. This was quite an in teresting case, and was warmly contested by the Anon:nes Messrs. John Batman for the Plaintiff, and F. W. Hughes for Defendant. The facts of the case appeared to be as follows—Mr. Filbert the owner of a large tract of land, situate near the village of Pinegrove, welt coveted with timber, and during the Spring of 1850, Wrn. Hoff, who It appears had purchased some old out standing title to the same land, and being desirous of making the most out of it, sent a large number of men upon it, who commenced cutting timber and peeling bark, &c. Mr. Filbert on hearing that Mr. Hoff was cutting limber upon his land, started in company' with a neighbor, and after a long search, found Hoff and three or four men cutting timber and peeling bark. Filbert ordered him off hfS land, and ad- cancel to take him by the arm, when . Mr. Hoff squared off , and gave him a touch of the "flyer Law." For this Assault and Battery, Mr. Hoff was bound over to answer et our Sessions, but, in consequence or a mistake having been made by the Attorney, in drawing up the indicent, he was acquitted. In the indictment the offence was s laid as having been comoutted in Pinegrove township, when it was in tact committed in another. In this manner malty times offenders escape from a mere technical error: Both cases were tried together, and having been warmly contested, occupied two days, and the At• tornies concerned acquitted themselves in a very creditable manner. Hoff was sentenced to pay the cost. Corn. vs. Mrs. Elisabeth Parry,lfiaoiderly, and Tippling House, on oath of Mary Kennedy. This was one of the fancy actions, which the Beer and Porter Houses of Pottsville send into oar Sessions every Court. It was in evidence, that Mrs. Perry sbld. Ale, Beer, Porter, Brandy and Whiskey,tand that she boarded several ladies who gave Social Cotillion Parties, which adjourned at three or foils o'clock, A. M., and sometimes at day break in the morning. These social re-unions were continued every night, until at last the neighbors entered com plaints against Mrs. Parry, for "noise, confusion, assaults and battery, fee," and Mrs. Parry came t 6 Orwigsburg to answer for her little amusements, and the Jury found her Guilty, in manner and form as she stood indicted) and the Court sentenced her to pay a fine of SW, and the costs of Prosection. Corn. vs. CharleX Kipp, Larceny of a Pocket Book, on oath of Terence Duffy ;'Jury trial. This was a strongly contested case. The circumstances were as follows :—Terance Duffy was in company with Kipp at the Mount Carbon Hotel, some time during the month of February last, and being in a social mood, be inviied the, defendant to take a ea cialglass. Mr. Kipp, being thirsty, accepted the polite invitation, am; he and Mr. Duffy went into Gin eock4ails very extensively, or Gin cock-tails went into them, and the usual consequence soon developed itself, and both soon became quite intoxi cated. Mr. Duffy exhibited his money, $4O, to all the perions in the bar-room, =A Mr. Kipp was seen sitting near hijn, in the bar-room of Mr. 'Simpson, and the, money wait not missed until Kipp left, which he did in the evening (coal train. The motley was not found inKiPp's possession, but when he was arrested, sateen dollars were found upon his person, when the keliper of the Prison at Beading made the examination. t The Pocket Book of Duf fy, was found near Norristoien, a few days after wards, and sent to him; and was exhibited in Court. The evidence againsi Kipp was all of a circumstan tial character, but very many trifeling circumstan ces pointed strongly to the prisoner. Character was not raised, consequently his supposed good character may, aid hits in hie boors of peril. Jury • i ' 12ir Literary So.4oty.—Dr. A.

Nothing adds so muck ; to the appearance of the streets, az well as the actual comfort of the people, as well shaded side-walks. Nishantaltgo street is a proof in point. There are a number of beautiful trees that grow well hi this climate—the English Linden, the Atanthus ,or - Tree of Paradise, the Silver. Tree, the Silver Maple, Horse Chistuu, dirc. These are all pod shade-treei, and arskquite an ornament wherever planted. rir Home MentufaOturn.Mr. Hodgson has exhibited to us some beautiful specimens of Back iugham and other Stone Ware, manufactured at his works 'at Brockville, which; in point, of finish sad durability, will compare withany of the imported article, while they possess the important recom iasudatioc of being cheaper: The Store-keepers ought to patronize the ,establisbruent.

MINERSVILLE AWFAIIM• Br Serious Accident.—The Bulletin reports that on Monday morning list, whiles Coal Train was passing Llewellyn, a lad, about 13 veers old, while attempting to get on one of the cars, missed his foot-hold, and, in consequence, had his legs most terribly crushed between the wheel and the body of the car. The Engineer, upon receiving notice of the accident, instantly stopped the train, when it waslound necessary to detach one of the wheels in order to extricate the unfortunate youth. Dr. Robins, of fdateriville, being immediately summoned to the scene of the catastrophe, pro- nounced amputation at present impracticable, by reason of the boy's exhausted condition. His name was Frank, son of Philip Dilcamp, of Llewellyn. He was afterwards said to be doing well, though but little hope is entertained of his recovery. Mr. C. B. BeForiet has resigned his place•as Postmaster, at Minersville," and is, about to leave the borough. Mr. George Taylor has been ap pointed to succeed him in the Post-office. ' A" Birth-night Ball" was given at Millersville on Wednesday evening of last week. Better late than never SCHUYLKILL' /MEN APPAIftS. , -... 1121" B rata dissiiidt --We learn from the Map that John Wisner, a' resident of Schuylkill Haven, was brought, in a state of intoxication, before Esq. Weston, of that place, on Sunday last. charged with an Assault-and Bauery'upon the body of his wife, with intent to kill. She being brought before the Justice, testified that her husband had so beat her, with kicking, 'Mocking, etc., that she was for sometime in a state of insensibility. That usually she could live with him very well, but that when intoxicated he was a perfect monster.-Several of the neighbors, attracted by the noise, rushed in and found her in this senseless state, and him throwing F the chairs and other furniture at her.. He ' lared to them that be would murder her, that had a right to, du. Wisner was committed to t e Alms House, from which he escaped several weeks since. The Map adds its opinion that he is insane— probably so, but we should think, trosn the circum• stances, his is an insanity easily smarted tor. If Runt were kept out of hid way; ha Might become not only sane, but sober Md. The Map thinks Schuylkill Haven ought to be accommodated with a Telegraphic Station. We don't see why it shouldn't.
