we were very favorably impressed with our visit to

we Would Invite the attention of those who desire a

The lands are as good as represented. and as good as

The land can be very easily cleared, and the cost of

exerted we suppreae.
•In accordance with the suggestion of the Court the •
attention of the Grand Jury has been directed to the
subject of diorite - and Beer houses, in which Spiritu
ous and Malt Liquors are sold on the Sabbath day; we
are unanimously of opinion that this traffic' is a dese
cration of that Sacred Day, and is highly aggravated
from the consideration that It not only destroys a re
tard for the laws of the land,but entirely banishes all
susceptibility of melee! • impression., rendering man
more degraded than the brute; We therefore feel at
a lose for language sufficiently strong to express our
abhorepce of the evils of which these bonne, are the
prolific femme—arid we thins, from our knowledge
and observation no the aubjeet.that a large proportion
of tbe Panpetism and Court expenses,gan be directly
traced to this abominable. 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. All of which we respectfully submit.

,' ing Cough and Pulmonary affections.—The pro•
prietor of the above Invaluable preparation , challen
ges the exhibition of any other specific which can
complete In 01l essential qualities with that now pre
sented to the public. 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

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'. Life at

L BOY'S LOVE.
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

to myself his inestimable lesson.—Coi. Trum

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.

A square is the "measuring . unit." .The
amount of all surface is determined by stialce
measure. This amount may be expressed in,
mdes, furlongs, rods, yards, feet, inches, or'
any' other specified measure. No _matter,
what the shape of a quantity" of land, boards,i
cloth, paper, glass, or any other article; they
amount of surface is always ascertained and
expressed by -the number ot* squares and parts
of squares it coritaiO, either in miles, feet,
or some other known measure. The prop
erties and uses of this most simple of ell
figures, save one, are of course importattt to
be understood most familiarly by every-per
son. No one thing,, probably, is at once so
important and su little' understood as .the
figure with four equsl -sides and angles.—,
Very many of the most intelligent members
of society have no clear s apprehension of the
difference between six miles square and six
square miles. 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.
If children should occupy the first hour
ever spent In a school-room by drawing upon
their slates'a square with its different diti
sions., they might have proof positivp that in
an inch square are four half-inch sqUares;
that in tin miles square there are one hun
dred squdiejniles. 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.

boy about six years of age, will serve to ex

in Persia ; and demanded of him whether he
would engage to make a coat of mail to be
worn under the ordinary dress, which should

peror, "and here is another for art equal
sum, for the fright I have given you."
