The land can be very easily cleared, and the cost of settlement will depend almost entirely upon the settler; he can lay out u much or little as-be chooses. Ido not know of any objection' to the plan or to the lend rir a settlement; and the same labor and industry which make successful and proapernus settlements In otter parts of the country, bestowed upon these lands, cannot fall to produce favorable results.

Traffic on the Doty Sabbath in the County. and particularly In the Coal Region, where Mears 'sinks of pollution abound to such a large extent. We, therefore, prevent the said Ale and Beer Houses, In the COunty,that traffic on the Sabbath day, as a public nulsanee, and most respectfully ask the Court to adopt inch measures as they in their dr:dic tion may deem expedient, to banish the evil as speedily and effectually as possible. • It afford, the Grand Jury peculiar pleasure to ex, press their approbation of the determination and ael' i Von of the (Court, with regard to the enforcement of the Art of Assembly. of 1705—t0 prevent tippling in licensed Taverns and Beer nooses. upon Sunday, and w.. tbink.we are right In aaeuring the Court that their efforts' to cheek these 'vile, meet the approbation of the public generally.and will be abundantly sustained by every good citizen In the portions of the County which we severally represent We have, at the direction of the Court. visited the Prison and public-offices, and find them In es good order as can be expected. The present Jail Is quite inconvenient and insuffi cient for the wants of the Connty,and we recommend to the Commissioners to proceed with ea little delay as possible to the Completion of the New Prison, onw in prngrese of erection at Pottsville. We think these Is not sufficient bedding and headsteads for the user of the Prison, we therefore recrmamend that thi Commis sioners be direeted to provide a sufficient supply We have also visited the. Poor Honse„and consider it but justice to the °Meets of that Institution, to ex press our approbation of the manner in which it in at present conducted. It Is the opinion of the Grated Jury, In view of the heavy outlays of the County fel. the present lc the erection of the new Prison, and the various bridges that hive to be re-built at tho public expert... that every possible ecoomn) consistent with the we'fare of the Paupers, should be observed, and all unnecessary expense In improvements, be avoided for the present. In view of the large number of Pau pers, now In the Institution, the Grand Jury think it proper to recommend that there be an effort made to provide some religious Instruction for the Sabbath, in the Institution. We are of an opinion that if appit cation were made to the various ministate of the et ernity, that an arrangement could be effected by which there could he a sermon preached at the Institution, each Sabbath, without any additional expense' to the County.

Himself a graduate of the Col lage of Pharmacy In Philadelphia, and carefully trained in tine of the most extensive prescription houses In that city, be confidently, and with assured faith In its excellence, recommends it as a medicine well adapted for the purpose for which it has com pounded, He pledges his precessional reputation that itcontains no deleterious saug—bnt that the simples of which it is composed, will .not in the remotest manner, affect the most tender Infant in any way but to the removal of the disease. For coughs, however inveterate or harassing, its action will be found to be Immediate and effectual ; whilst in eterycnae it will bring almost instantaneous relief, and if persevered In, will affect • certain cure. Children from their birth, and adults of any age, can rely upon these results. Colds long neglected; or be coming violent through constant exposure, threaten ing Injury to the lungs. and consequently consump tion, will be arrested before such a foul crisis will have been reached. Indeed cues have been known, and are certified tn. where it has been ascertained that pulmonary affection calmed which this medl‘ eine relieved with all the decided evidences of a radi cal. entire cure. This preparation is equally efficacious for Asthma, hoarseness, and bronchitis. Aged persons, particular ly. are nitwit subject to the first of those diseases; whilst public speakers, when afflicted with the latter, will be sure to be relieved from these two painful an noyances. The above statements are made In full view of their Importance and weights their faithfulness will be proven 00 a fair trial of the specific; and relief to the sufferer be the certain consequence. For further proof of the efficacy of this remedy, the proprietor respecitully refers to the following certificates °Ammo of the Arm Physicians in Pottsville: CiThricsyss.-1 deem it a duly I owe to the com munity. to strongly recommend "Hughes' Espectnr-. ant," asan effectual remedy to colds, incipient bron chitis, intimation of the funds, and all analogous diseases.

THE LAW OF PROGRESS " The earth moves," said Galileo. And he was imprisoned for saying it. Yet the earth swept around the sun for ages before his birth, as it has for agessince. Iris dea!b. It took the world a long time to believe the truth of the great mathematician's assertion, and it has taken it longer to learn that übt only the earth moves, but also its inhabitants are moving ever onward. It was in 1710 that Galileo first—taught the Copernican system,. but it was not until 1721, that John Vito, of Naples, announced the law of hu man progress. But it was not then received nor was it in the ages that had gone before, nor is it scarcely now, though centuries hate since passed. Men have so long looked back ward for a golden age, have so long been ac customed to view things magnified by the mists of centuries, that they cannot believe that the things around them. exceed those which are passed. Yet during all this long period of unbelief in human progress the race has moved steadily, on in the attainment elf moral and mental excellence. To' the ear of the true philosopher the steade tramp of mankind up through the long dark ages of error and ignorance to the light au more pperfect day, is recognitable - over all the coo fusiori of temporary retrocessions, and the, quiet of momentary pauses. We stand at the head of the race.—All that has been pat'. ered in the past is ours.—From the summit of six thousand years we survey the whole progress of man. We observe what errors have been discarded, what tyrannies become, obsolete, what prejudices have been dissipa ted.—And we may also see the remnants of wrong that still cling to us, and look hope fully to the future for their dispersion. This is the great encouragement to the reformer. He kttinve that the cause of humanity can not go backwards. Though the world may hug its delusions, and cling to the remnants of a past barbarism, yet the truth and the right must conquer. Though conservative souls repose in the full conviction that the height of all advances is hazardous and pre sumptous, yet he ; knows that there is a high er excellence to mime which shall yet be felt and acknowledged.—Portla7d Trans. 11117MkILE' MEANS . OF REFORM. Edward EVerett, in an address upon the " Education of Mankind,"' thus beautifully illustrates the power of apparently insignifi cant means for the accomplishment of social and moral reform. A great and wise lesson is enfolded in the illustration. May it he yours, reader, to unfold and apply it to life: 'Let him,wllo is inclined to distrust the effi ciency of the social and moral causes which are quietly at work for the improvement of the nations, reflect on the phenomena of the natural world. Whence come the waters that swell the vast en rrent of the great rivers and fill up the gulf of the bottomless deep? Have they not all gone to the clouds in a most thin and unseen vapor, from the wide surface of land and sea! Have not these future billows, on whom navies are soon to be tossed, in which the great monsters of the. deep will disport themselves, been born aloft on the bosom of a fleecy cloud, chased by a breeze; with scarce enougb of sub stance to catch the hues of a sunbeani • and have they not descended, sometimes, indeed; in drenching rains, but far more diffusively in dew drops, and gentle showers and feath cry snows, over the expanse of a continent, and been gathered successively, into the slen der rill, the brook, the placid stream, till they grew at last into the mighty river, pouring down his tributary floods into the unfathom ed ocean ?" A circumstance soon occurred which bro't us nearersto each other,' and cemented our attachment. Just at dusk, and before the candles were brought in, the servant ushered two of Alice's female friends into the room, and it was soon resolved that we should have a game at forfeits, whilst my sister was ap._ pointed dispenser of the penalties. At the end of the game, therefore, she was blintz folded, and began to name the punishment which each one was to receive before the forfeits could be reclaimed. Nov, I had made several blunders in the game, and had several forfeits to pay ; and it so happened that most of my penalties were connected in some way with Alice. Once I had to take her hand, :and" dance with- her three times round the roo m ; then, again, I was ordered to r aow 4 on my knee* , before her, and ' watt there till she bade me rise : and these pretty appointments did-more, to further our love than any wores could have done. sly last punishment was to kiss all the girls in the room ;:;whett I' came to Alice my heart sank within me, and I dared not embrace her. The ' 'thought of so much bliss over. came me, end I stood fora moment gazing upon her With passionate and irresolute eyes. She ;saw my confusion, and looked so kindly and sweetly upon me, that I was reassured in an instant ; and obeying the wild imptilse of my heart, I flung myself upon her :bosom, and wept aloud. There was- a terrible stir in the room after this strange explosion, and every One but Alice thought was hurt, or that I, was taken suildeoly ill. Ido not know how I got out of the scrape, but I remember feeling Alice's warm lips: upon my forehead, whilst my arms were clasped around her, and leered ve ry little for anythingelse. Soon after this our little party' broke up, and Alice accompanied my sister and me to the end of the lane,-on our way home.--January Searle'.

Short Practical Stotice A NOBLE EXAMPLE. About the year 1776 a circumstance.(re curred which deserves to be written on ada mant. In the wars of New Ettland with the Aborigines, the Mohegan tribe, of Indians early became friends ofthe English. Their favorite ground was 0,1 the banks of the riv er, (now the Thames.) between New Lon don and Norwich. A small remnant of the Mohegans still exist, and, they are scarcely protected in the possession and enjoyment of their favonte domain on the banks of the Thames.. The government of this tribe had become hereditary in the family of the cele brated chief titicas. During the time of my father's mercantile prosperity he had em ployed several Indians of this tribe in hunt ing animals, whose skins were valuable for their fur. Among these hunters was one named Zachary, of the royal race,•an excel lent bunter; but as drunken and worthless an Whin as ever lived. When he had some what passed the age of fifty, several mem bers of the royal family who stood between ZaChary and the throne of his tribe. died, and helound himself with only one life between hitu and the empire. In this moment ins .better genius resumed its sway. and he re flected seriously. " How can such a drunken wretch as lam aspire to be-the chief of this honorable race ? What will my people say? —and how will the shades of my noble an cestors look down indignant upon such a base successor ? Can I succeed to the great Uu cas "?' I will drink no more !" He solemnly resolved never again to taste any drink' but water, and kept his resolution. I had heard this story, and did not entirely believe it; for young as I was. I already partook of the prevailing contempt for lit, trans. In the beginning of May, the annu al election of the • principal officers of the (then) colony was held at Hartford, the capi tal. My father attended officially, and it was customary for the chief of the .Moliegans also to attend. Zachary had succeeded to the rule of 'his tribe. My father's house was situated about mid-way on the road - hetween Mohegan and Hartford, and the old chief was in the habit of coming a few days before the election, and dining with his brother Gover nor. One ,day the mischievous thought struck rue to try the old man's temperance. The family Were seated at dinner, and there was excellent home-brewed beer on the ta ble. I addressed the old chief : Zachary, this beer is excellent—will you taste it ?" The old man dropped his knife and fork— leaned forward with a stern intensity of (Lx pressioci—tis black eve, sparkling with in dignation, was fixed on me. " John," said he, " you do not know what you are doing. You are serving the devil, boy ! Do you not know that lam an Indian ? I tell you that I am, and that, if I should but taste your beer, I could not stop until I gut to rum, and !became again the drunla;n, contemptible wretch your father remembers me to have been. John. while you live,-, never tempt any man to break a good resolu tion." Socrates never uttered a more valuable pre cept. Demosthenes could not. hate given it in more solemn tones of eloquence. I was thunderstruck. iNly parents were deeply af fected ; they looked at each other, at me, and all he venerable Indian, .u•i:h deep of awe cud respect. They afterwards fre quently reminded me of the scene, and charg ed me never to forget it. Zachary lived to pass the age of SO, and sacredly kept his resolution. lie lies buried in the royal bur-, ial place of his tribe, near the beautiful falls of the Yantic, the western branch of the Thames, in Norwich, on laud now owned by my friend Calvin Goddard, Esq.

ECCENTRICITIES OF 31ADMEN Mr. —, a lawyer in Vermont, doing a good busineis, at once became insane, and took it into his bead to abandon. the practice of law, and engage in basket-making...Be was at first a very awkward hand, at , this employment, but by dint of perseverance he soon became very skilful, and would weave a basket as well as he had formerly wove an argument at the bar. He followed this bus iness about six months, when taking a new notion into his head, he abandoned it for that of chair-bottom making. The material used in this occupation was bark, which he stripped from the trees in the summer, whto it peels most easily. Having come home one day covered front head to foot with mud, he was asked Where he had been that he got so thoroughly bedaubed. He answered, that he had been in a. neigh boring swamp after elm bark, of which he exhibited a_strip about forty feet long. " Do you mark this?" said he triumphant ly. • Yes, but how , does this account for your being so muddy I It isn't usual to find mu , on the tops of trees." . •-: "No, but sometimes you may find it at the bottom, though.: I'll tell you how I found it. I Cut the bark near the root of the tree; and then stripped it upwards, expecting it would come to an end and break off, and run itself out after a while; but it hung on like a suit A t) , in Chancery, and I stripped until it ran up forty feet. an as as strong as ever ! Thinks I to myself, tit re's no- use to pursuing the 'thing any farth . , and so 11l en ter flair itr,.,,, , - qui. But not °Jose the the benefit of what I had done—tb&l was the point to be decided. I wished at least to save cost, but—pshaw ! I forget : I'm, not a lawyer now. Well, as I was saying, I looked at the subject', to see how .I could secure the bark. It was too strong for me .to break . off._, At any rate, thought I, - there's' &Ore' ways than one to skin a cat, as the j butcher would say. If I cannot break off this titrk Lean climb - up by it. I seized hold* strip,'arul placing my feet against the trunk of the tree, ran up over hand. By this method of climbing, you will perceive, my back must have been down wards, and nearly in a horizontal positicon my &et being braced against the tree, and my head standing from it in an angle of ninety degrees. Having arrived at the proper height, I was then" in a quandary how to get my knife out of my pocket, and how to 'get it open when it was out, if I let go with one hand, I was E.:artul the, other would not hold me. However, says I, it's neck or nothing ; I will try the experiment, at any rate. So I ,gripped powerfully with my left hand, while I. took out my knife with my right hand, and opening it with my teeth, whipped off the bark as clean as law would dock an entail. "And. what do you think was the result?" " Why you came flat on >your hack, =of course." 1 "Right, gentlemen of the jury—a very correct verdict, indeed. I .came down flat in the mud. Never was a client laid flatter on his back than I, and never was one su completely bedaubed with filth and mud.— But thanks to the yielding tiatureof the evil, I saved my bones and only brought away the mischief on my coat. l' gained my cause, though—which. is more - than I can say of all my undertakings." • The company laughed heartily at the ex lawyer. Hanging his coat np in the sun, he said that the mud, like the old woman's grease, would rub off when it was dry. He continued a while longer to follow his occupation of chair.bottoming, when, sud denly, becoming sane again, he resumed the practice`of law, and has ever since preferred laying his opponents on their backs iii a gal way, to betng laid on his own in so ludic. roes a manner as that above' related. j2,- a:7 CIPtE :FOR G_ aavtr. , --Make Etropg tea of :wild =tit,. the flower and seeds, so 'to a pturcif whichliut a piece of saltpetre, abtiut the size of two large peas ; let the rst :tierit drink it as,WArru aq possible awl In bed,. .and it will produce a coptou,al i perapiortioul it uasy be taken at other times,' during the or. atii wsu autagly u a Candi. - BY C.

A square is the "measuring . unit." .The amount of all surface is determined by stialce measure.

A person of much intelligence cuittended a few days ng,6:.that in the District of Columbia, in its original dimensions, there were only ten square miles, andcould•ncit be convinced of his error until shown it by a checker-board. Nut long - since a painter of some twenty years' experience named a price per sheet for painting paper. On being asked what would be the price for sheifs of double' the length and breadth, replied double the price ; r A)lfering, of course, to do foul', times the wok for twice the money. Cases of a similar' character might be named almost without number, of intelligent, experienced business men making blunders, attended with far greater ineonveuience and less thatOvork log at half price, and simply from the, want of a little knowledge, entirely within , the comprehension of every child of five years old, attended - with a high degree of pleasure in acquiring.

They would alsoi come to proof positive that by the diagonal divi sion td , r' care, they would form two right angled isoscelds triangles, or figures with one right angle and two equal sides; they would thus acquire at this early age positive praCti• cal knowledge which would greatly aid them in "4glall. ing their work!' during the whole of their future lives. whatever might be their . pursuits. Tlibse becoming editors would not be likely to makv the mistake of one nf the mast able editers in The country, who, in speaking of a fire in Boston, stated 'that it burnt about one hundred and filly square feet; that is, a surface equal to a room of fifteen feet by ten: If the space burnt was °nebula dred and fitly leet square, it contained,' more than . twenty th ousand square feet—rather a mistake fur an intelligent and able writer in the literary emporium of our Union.
