A Stripling of Eighteen Wallops a i vvnoie uamuy. About the richest thing we have heard for Mime time recently occurred over Hi Milltnwii. otherwise known as Grubtown We jdiall suppress names and give the facts, which, by tilts vray, ueed no addi tional r coloring. 3Iilltown. like every ither well condue ted modern village, has a citizen who runs its leading mercantile establishment and is al.-o charged with the management of the village po.t office : Wheu the Mill town merchant abucsaid is called to the city or business he leaves his clerk in charge Of bite, two tireliitis, aged about lourteen antl scvenreen iespectie!y. have been in the habit, of going to the store and raiing a general row by jumping over counters, barrels and boxes ioiug any thing and every thing to di.-tuib the peace and quiet bt llie establishment. The re tnoristrani-c of the cleik were all in vaiu At last the matter was laid belore the employer, who charged the youug man that he must keep order in hi absence, and il be cu!d not do it by kind means be must do it by harsh means larrup them with a cart whip it' necessary. In a few days the proprietor of the store agaiu went to the ei'y, aiiig to his clerk to prcerve order at all hazards Now this clerk is a mere stripling of about eighteen, and the two boys he hail to at tend to were pretty -tout la-Is. Hut let s see t.ow t lie afJair tnrel out Shortly alter the proprietor's departar the disorg anizeis eutered without ceremony and be can their gymnastic pcrlormances. The cletk told thciu that bis employer bad di reeled him to maintain order in his ah fence and he intended to do it. This lail ed to tnuke any imptcssioii on the rioter and the young man searched lor a lull towu cartwhip. He set this in motion ami made such impressions on their backs s they will be bkely to carry as long a- hey live. If they bad (alien on to a buzz aw or slid through a mill hopper they could scarcely have been much more cut up The baek of the oldest looked like h gridiron with a raw rreak laid ou ir. O bis return the prpictor was inloruied o what had transpired in bis absence ami iudoi.-e l alt tint bis cletk bad dune. An 1 now tur the sequel. The father of the boy is a healthy l'hiladelphia merch ant, and has been lu the habit of btiyin Iced tor his horse at this store. Accord ingly an order done for a load of oats, and noihing was said ab-ut the whipping iRair. At this point the clerk bcati to I erct ive a space d war. It had only been a lew days since this gentleman had pnr chased oats and he knew that they had not all been ned by this time lie re potted the order to bis employer and wa fold to take the oats whieh he did. Ar ivedon the gentleman's premises h? was not slow to discover extensive prepar atious to give him a warm reception The enemy was marshalled iu force, and drawD up iu battle array. The fatter wa armed with a carriage whip, the boys with sticks. Hnd the Hibernian coaehman with a shil lelch. lie'ore he had time to get off of his wagon a fearful sla.-h with the whip across his lace told him that he must assume the defensive Jumping to the ground he undertook the gigautie enterpiise of eu iarging the heads of the whole quartett He first demolished the father, then the eons aud next the coachman. Taking hi club lrotn the latter he did his bet t- break'every bone in bis body. The mother of the boys next appeared upon the bloody field armed with two pokers The savage manner in which the rest of her household had been placed hors du combat discour aged the Aujaz-mian, and she retired iu good order without filing off her pokers The way in which this Mripliug of etgh teen ued up that whole lamily is hardly excelled by the famious deience of the Pass ol Thermopylae 'After the whole family had been wal loped on tlie most, scientific principles, the employer, who bad been concealed in the next bouse, made his appearance and told his clerk to diive his team home, remark ing that he guessed the gentleman had all the oats be neciiel aud diu't waut any nii-re. A few nights after this the coachman went to the store, thirsting for blood He requested the young man to meet him again in the area, aud kuock him out of time if he could. The clerk was iu an obliging mood, and took the coachman out JO the road and gave him another putumcling. When the proprietor is call to the city dow there is peace in that store We should think this young man would be a valuable acquisition to a newspaper office. Indeed, we would be a I must will ing to divide our salaty with him lor the -ke of having a companion in whose strong arm we could have confidence lie certainly would not find his work any more laborious than it is now.

Tribune, under date of the 8th instaut, makes the following statements: I have just learned particulars of the inception of one of the most extensive combinations of the period. The Phila delphia & Heading Railroad Company procured, last session, an net authorizing the Reading Coal & Irou Company (which is only another name for themselves) to own and work coal mines and lands. During the past year the Utter com pany expended under this charter SOD, OUO.OOU in the Schuylkill region in buy ing or controlling collcries, and con sequently own or have a dominant in terst over mines producing 2,7U0.0U0 tous per annum Desiring to coutrol all the coal trade of the region, the company have proposed to the" owners of the re m lining collcries which produce 3.212, UOU tons to joiu with them, and receive a certain sum per ton for their coal The acceptance of this arrangement, would, it is obvious, give the Reading Coal & Irou Company full coutioi over the sale ol 5. IH2.UU0 tons of coal, the entire pruJuct ol the Schuylkill region. The independent owners of collieries (producing the 3,242,JU0 tons) have de dared that they will uot assent to the proposed transler, preferring to mine aud market their coal themselves. They are raising funds, aud arc determined to give a stubborn resistance to the proposed combination Rut the Heading Coal & Irom Company and its double railroad threaten to coerce them both by raising the cost of transportation and offering the numerous vexatious obstacees which a corporation of the extent and ratuttica fions of the Readiug Company can com mand. The sympathy ol Pniladelphia, as well as of the trade generally, is uu mistakably with the opposing colliery owners. A meeting ol the leaders in the Reading Company was held on Saturday, and anoiher will be held next Friday. The proposed measure of the Reading Company is howevor, only one step toward a stiil more extraordinary combination It is contemplated, if it succeeds, that the Pennsylvania Coal Company, the Del ware & Hudson Cual Company, the Delaware. Lackawanna & Western Com pany shall ail unite with the I'h lalelphiu &, Reading Company, and decide upon a iiutlorm price tor all the cal they own or cou'r d ; that it is virtually the entire product of the anthracite regioDS of Penu .) lvania, for this combination expect to Le able to coerce every colliery owner in the state to come to their terms. If the uew . Syndicate succeeds it is propose. t to make the price of coal $1 75 in April ascending to 55 50 in October sums considerably more than the average ol last year, aud nearly $1 per ton higher than the price in April, 1S72 This movement, affecting about 18,00'J.OOO tons of coal, has caused the greatest alarm among the manufacturers, who understand its import, and will soon be the theme of general discussion. Currous Criminal Statistics. Some interesting facts may be deduced from the statistics of crime published by the Riltimo e Gazelle, for the year 1872 The most obvious is the stable ratio main tained between the criminals nod the po pulation. Thus, as to the "suspicious characters" arrested monthly, the figures run 27, 25. 12, 21. 21, 2l, and so on through the year. The number of vag rants increase steadily from January to July, aud then declines again as cold weather comes ou. The number ol as saults and batteries seem to move in the same cycle 121) iu January, 127 in February, 14(3 in March, and so on up to 2U0 iu July due no doubt to the in fl.immatory character ol the weather. After that it declines agaiti. WWebcat ing shows a similar tendency, the figures falling oil in the winter mouths and reaching their maximum in midsummer That tbp samn law shall hold good, how ever, with regard to intoxication, seems somewhat stran e Yet the figures show heavier drinking in July than in anv other month In January 410, in February 750, in March 810. and soon until July 1,027 August 1,242. Sepfem er 1,177. and then a rapid decline. The New York W says that similar observa lions have been made rn nlher cities, and it really seems that the weather furnishes a better excuse for misdoing than has generally been supposed Mr. Clarence King, in his 'Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada," has declared his belief that the peculiarities ol the western tern perament are largely owing to the spark ling and exuberant atmosphere of the region, ami such statistics as those given above seem to warrant the correctness of his observations. The same law holds good in other countries, the ratio of crime to population varying but from little from year to year. Cm it be possible that predestination and free will must yield to heat aud. col I as responsible agcuts for humau morality ? One of the principal medical men of Huston saya that there are at present some six hundred and filty developed cases ol small pox in that city, and one thousand seven hundred and ninety three cases have been reported during the past three months, and that within the same peiiod there have bceu five huudred and twenty tLreo deaths. Royal Disinterments. In some remarkable instances, where the 1 ocation of the burial places of cele brated personages has been in dispute, the work of identification has been ac complished by the discovery of what were plainly perceived to be the remains ol the individual in question. In other iu stances the body has been- completely iden titled by the close resemblauce of the face of the corpse to extant pictures, busts or coins The identification of the remains of Henry IV, in Canterbury Cathedral, after the lapse of nearly lour centuries and a half, is an example of the first class of cases : the identification of the remains of Charles I , after (." years.' of the se cond class. The remains of Charles I were completely identified by the strik ing resemblance of the countenance, not withstanding ifs di-figurement. to its por trait, aud by the (act that the neck was found smoothly divided across We have the following particulars of the excellent condition, alter 1(5 years, of a body sud denly deprived ol life, embalmed aud in terred in lead : On removing part of the lead coffin on inner coffin of wood, n-uch decayed, was exposed, and within this the body, wrap ped in cerecloth, into the folds of which an unctuous matter mixed with resin had been poured to exclude the air. The coffin was quite full, and on removing the covering from the face the skin was found dark aud discolored, the forehead aud temples . well pre.-erved, the cartilage of the nose gone, the characteristic pointed beard perfect, the left ear entire, and the left eye open and full, though it vanixh ed ou exposure. The head was found loose, aud was easily tukeu out and held to view. It was heavy, wet with a liquid which gave to writing paper aud linen a greenish red tinge, the textures of the neck were solid, aud the back part of the scalp was portcct nn l of a remarkably fresh appearance. The hair of the head was a beautiful dark brown, that of the head of a redder tint. The divided mils cles of the neck had retracted consider ably, and the smooth surface of the divid ed vertebras w.vs vi-ible In the same vault in which Carles I was filtered Henry VIII. hud been de posited. The leaden coffin, which had been enclosed in a lliick elm case, appear ed to have been beaten in, so as to leave an opening large enough to expose the mere skeltoti of ihe king, with some beard upou the chin. The body of the king had then been interred L'Gfi years. To the preservation ol bones it i impossible to set any limit of lime. The bones of King Dagobert, disinterred from the Church of St. Denis alter 1200 years, others, from Pompeii, alter 1SU0 years, as parts of Egyptian mummies full 2U00 years old attest their permanence. A Strange Meeting;. In the New York Despatch, of a recent date is an incident growing out of the re hellion under the above heading, aud the journal referred, to relates how, on an evening or two previous, a good looking man a laborer, about thirty years of ao took the cars at Centre street depot. Newark, for New York. There was but one vacant scat in the car that he entered, and that was by the side of. a handsome and elegantly dressed lady. The man sat dowu. and alter , his fair companion had removed her veil, he was supriscd to recognize in her bis wile, whom he had uot seen for more than twelve years he lady threw her arm around hi neck aud kis-ed him tenderly, and mutual explanations followed. It seems that they had been married just, before the breaking out of the war, at the home of the lady in Missouri Her father was owner of a large tract of land, but had only a little money. He joined the rebel cause, aud the daughter also warmly adhered to the opinions of her father. Her husband, however, was a decided Union man. She abused him violently on account of his principles, and told him if lie sided with the "Rloody Yankees" ho might leave the place, and she never wished to see his lace again He took her at hr word, an i the same night left her and joiued Fremont's army as a private He was several times taken a prisoner, and as often escaped to our lines. He passed on with Sherman to the sea. and at the conclusion of his tero of enlistment joined a New York regi ment, aud by this means, at the end of the war, found his way to Newaik where he has since worked quietly in u factory His wile's faiher wa killed at Vicks burg, and she was lelt possessor ol his uncultivated farms. She supported her self by working in a milliner establish ment in St. Louis, till alier tho close of the war. Her land roe in value and she sold it for a good price, and realized about 5,000 With thi sum she stalled a millinery establishment ol her own in St. Louis, and succeeded splendidly She is reputed worth 810,000 or S50.U00 She was on her way to New Yoik to buy goods when the met the man whom she had supposed long u.'O dead Remorseful for driving him away, she had refused all offers ol marriage. The joyous meeting caused the husband to forgive his wife's error, and a present of a new suit of clothes, a diamond ring and a splendid gold watch, when they anived in New York, served materially to increase hs respect aud aflcction for his long lost wife They are now stopping at a fashionable hotel, j yous over the accident that, reunited them. Evil Speaki Speaking evil of others is one of the most unamiable habits that can be ac quired, aud one that leads to infinite mischief; it is not always easy to avoid it, for there are a great many persons in the wot li who are uot what they oul.t to be, and who do many things they ought not to do. It is hard for a bluut. geuerous mind to relrain from express ing itself about people and meau acts ; there is something in meanness ami dis honesty that rouses the indignation o! such a mind, and it likes the luxury of denouncing them in bold, unspairiug language. Rut the practice, as a practice, is a trotiblesou e and dangerous one There are occasions when it is our du ty to spe.ik out in exposure of wrong ; but in general, it is best to abstaiu I t orn evil speaking, even of evil pcrous We are tint made judges of others' actions: no one has the light to aniline the char acter of arbiter and censor Even the best of us have our faults, and il every one should presume to denounce the vices and misconduct of others, the world woul I be given up to defamation We may see and hear much that we do not admire aud cannot like ; we may b"couie couizintof many evil deeds done by evil persons ; but it is ihe part of wisdom and discretion to pass them by without notice, except when to speak o! them cautiously may be uecesiiary us a warning to a friend Wo all have enough enemies in thi world, without provuking others by ill tempered comments The enmity of evil men is a thing to be avoided, for while it can do us no good, it may do us Rim-li harm. Resides we may make mistakes iu the haste of honest iudijuati-m, an 1 speak evil of good men for acts we do not understand. Such a mistake is worse than the other; for while it is imprudent to promiscuously denounce evil, men, it is cruel wrong to defame a good one All Ris;!itee." The Vallejo huh-peitdent tells the fol lowing good story : A laughable incident occurred one evening, recently, ou the up train to Sa craiiicuto. There were two seats in the car turned so as to lace each other. 0:ie was occupied by a lady and the other by a Chinaman Evidently the Ldy did not relish the presence of tho Chinamau, and set her wits to work to oust him. She succeeded about. : follows : Motioning the Chinaman to raise, she explained to him that she wauled to take ihe cushions and their frames, and place them lengthwise across from scat to scat John saiil "all r:ghtec." and got out iu the aisle while she placed the seats as above discribed, and then proceeded to lie dowu ou the bed thus impioi-ed. with her head re-ting on her valise She suj-posed that the Chiuamau would at once take the hint that the lady want ed to fake a little rest, in the space u-ual ly occupied by four persons. Rut John hadn't heard of woman's rights move ment, ami at once proceeded to crawl in and stretch himself by her side, with his head on a little bundle ol his own The Chinese are an imitative race, and like to do as others do, you know. The lady, as soon as she discovered that she had a bedfellow, got 'up a litile wildly. nl started for the next car. to the infinite amusement of the pas-eugers, who had bceu watching the little scene with some interest. J dm took no notit-e of the f un he h id created, but went to sleep with the whole bed to him.-elf. Compressed Air a,s a Motive Power. A brief letter from Drunswick, Me , to a Portland paper, gives the following in formation relating to ihe use of uir as a motive rower iu that village: ,-On the Androscoggin River, some three fourths o! a mile below tho railroad station, is the site of a mill, iOUg since burned, and the motive power which operates the eoidei:s er is a water wheel at that place The wheel, it is said, is capable ol driving lour condensers ol equal power with the one now in use. Rut it is only with re suits already accomplished that wo have to do At I he railroad station is an eu gine of ten horse power, running circular saws for sawing wood, and lor various. machinery in tho blacksmith shop in the vicinity Thence a sm-ill pipe passes on through the villige, furnishing power to Worthy Diotbers. jewelers, who are run niog a small engine ol about one horse power. Parent & Dafriend also Use an engine of two hor-e power, and Prof Drackett, of Rowdoiu College, one of three horse power, for ihe manulacture, ot instruments, while the laboratory of ihe Coilcge has one of ix lousa power. So that noiuiintlly, ibis small condenser furnishes iu all twenty four horse power and sill unite in saying that the air power is much moi e i-iii'-len t than steam in woik ing ihe same engines ; it does not drag, but recovers itself instantly li-on any .-train or check, aud ii iu every way a success." A good story is told of a St Louis dry goo is cleik who attended a daiu-c in the rutul districts a lew e venings since He wote a cheviot shirt and put on a good many airs. He was somewhat taken down, however, wi en he hnard one coun iry lass say to atmlher : "That St. Louis clup slings on a heap of style for a lelluw that wear a bed tick fchui." An Unpleasant Voyage Undur the Ice. Eureka, California found it again the other day. a luckier discovery, too. than gold a little boy's life. It seems that the lad. about twelve years old, with two companions, were skating ou the Hum bold river, when the ice gave away with the little fellow, and immediately his con panions ran to rescue h;i Arriving close to the water's edge, they began to grapple for him, wheu 'suddenly they all went down together. After Mime Strug gling tho larger boys succeeded iu get ting out. but tho sturdier one disappeared under the ice and drifted slowly down the stream. IIk seemed to have turned on his back, and with his face up turne-l eloe again-t the ice he was plainly visi ble, as currant t.ore him onward to what appeared ine itable deal h. Tho alarm was given, when a gentleman near byF faking iu the situation at a glance, cross ed the river on tho bridge, and qnirkly seized a scantling, ran "tit on the ice and broke a hole ju-t in time to rescue the almost lifeless body i f the little fellow from its icy prison'. Vigorous inching and other proper u.e.ms -ooo re-rorei bin to consciousness, and as the latest ac counts he wa as well and as lively as be fore tho accident occurred It is estima ted that he fi.iated with sluggish currant under the ice a disiuace of uo lets lhaa i i 4 ty yards A Big Thing on lea.
