Patrick, who with a friend named James Riley, hal strangled condition, and after proper restora. tlves was revived. Manyon though still struggling when assistance came, had sunk In the water under the Ice, so that Is was impossible to reach him ex cept by a hook and pole. The body was brought out after It had been In the water for an hour or up wards ; but too late for resuscitation. * His remains were taken to his friends In Plttston or Scraoton. He had In his pockets about $7O In money saved from several months of Industry and sobriety. Those who have known him here, during the past few months, speak of him as an honorable, industrious and,—up to this fatal spree—a temperate man. Lilies written by <( J. W, F." have been read and fonnd somewhat defective In their orthographical, syntaxical, and prosodical arrangement. We are certainly doing the writer a favor In declining to print them In their present shape. While the Ideas of the writer seem to be very correct, he falls to ex press them correctly. In rhymes. By this t6rm "Rhymes," we do not wish to be understood by any tody, as meaning or Intending—poetry—for these arc otten as far from each other as the antipodes. The subject chosen by the writer, is perhaps, a pro per enough one, for rhyming upon, If one had a tal. ent for it. This talent, or "gift," as It is sometimes called, we think is not so much of a "gift," as an ac qulrement. The result of long and patient toil and study. We think It can be set down as an tndlsputs. ble proposition that no person ever wrote good rhymes, to say nothing of poetry—who had not pre viously learned to express his thoughts correctly and intelligently in irose. A knowledge of the rules of grammar—and not on ly this, but, the ability to apply them. Is necessary to insure correctness in either prose or poetry. Many very entertaining writers, however, are found In fault when tried by the strict rules of grammar: but their errorg are Aually such, as are only detect ed. by very critical eyes—not glaring defects, or violations of the simplest principles of our lan guage. Mistakes In this respect, are far less likely to occur in prose, than In poetry or rhyme. To write prose requires only the putting on paper of our thoughts, in our every-day language. In writing rhymes, the Inexperienced writer often finds himself, or l. found, floundering about In a grammatical tan gle. brought about In his efforts to produce a jlngle of words at the end of his lines, which he often, fond ly Imagines, turns his thoughts Into poetry. Many of.thc finest poetical conceptions of our lan guage are entirely devoid of anything like rhyme or Jtbgle In their comjiosition Milton's Paradise Lost, Young's Night Thoughts and Shakespeare's Plays may tie cited as examples. We make these observations not so much for our young friend, whose lines gave Immediate occasion for them, as for numberless young writers, male and female, wbo are trying to cultivate a talent for writing. We are exceedingly anxious to encour age this laudable feeling. We would be glad to re ceive from all such, every week, an account of the occurrences and local incidents In their respective neighborhoods By jotting them down, however, roughly at first, they will cultivate a talent for cor rectly expressing their Ideas on paper. If written In prose, we will endeavor to make It readable, and coney the writers Ideas. Let there be no stranlng after tine words or high soundiug phra ses. Tbe plain, easily understood, e very-day language If pruned of its slang, is the best In which to tel what we know. A quite common fault In writers—one which we find we have fallen Into in writing this article—ls the using of too many words to bring out tha loea— and repeating them in an endeavor to make It plain er after It hat been brought out.

Probably never Iteforo in the whole histoiy of medicine, ncs anything won so widely and sodeeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent rcmedy for pulmonary complaints. Througti u loug series of years, and among most of the races o! men it has risen higher and higher in their estima tion. as it has become better known. Its uniform character and power to cure the various -affectum, or the lungs and throat, have made it known as a re liable protector against thein. While adapted to milder forms ofdtsea.se anil to young childreu, it i at the same time the most effectual remedy that can be given for Incipient consumption, and the dan gerous affections of die throat and lungs. As a pro vision against sudden attacks of Croup, it should be kept on hand in every family, and indeed us all are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all should be provided with this antidote for them. Although settled Consumption is thought in curable, still great numbers of cases where the dis ease seemed settled, have been completely cured, and the patient restored to sound health by the Cherry Peetoral. So complete Is its mastery over the disorders of the Lungs aud Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. Whan noth ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee toral they subside and disappear. Singers and Public Speakers And great pro tection from it. A sthinti is always relieved aud often wholly curedWff it. • Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses. So generally are its virtues known that we ncc-d not publish the certificates of them here, or do more than assure the public that its qualities are frilly maintained- Ayer's Ague Cure, For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, dto., and indeed all the affections which arise from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic poisons. As its name implies, it does Cure, and does not fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bismuth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous substance whatever, it in nowise injures any patient. The number and importance of its cures in the ague dis- I tricts, are literally bevond account, and we tolicve ! without a parallel in the history of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the acknowledgments we receive of the radical cures effected in obstinate cases, and w here other remedies had wholly failed. Cnacclimated persons, either resident' in, or travelling through miasmatic localities, will be pro tected by taking the A OCR CVRE daily. For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating the Liver Into healthy activity-. For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it is an excellent remedy, producing rnanv truly re markable cures, where other medicines had failed. Prepared by DR. .1. C.

SILVER PLATED WARE; D McKown respectfully announces to the people II Wyoming County, that he has made a specialty of ifEAVY SILVER PLATING, lor years. Heavy plaiting is much more economical than light. The more Silver put on the goods, the cheaper it is done in proportion to the amount of Silver used. Spoons and Forks, should not be ot less than 16 or plate— -36 or 49 oz. would be far more economical . Yet 4oz plate is called a good plate by the trade , and. poor as it is, but a small portion of all the goods made come up to this standard. '-Ounce plate," in platers language means the number of ounces of silver, to the gross of table spoons. All other sur faces are estimated by these. For example, des •erts are estimated at 1-4 ; and tea spoons at 1-2 the surface of table-spoons, r-ixteen oz. plate is 16 ozs. of fine silver to the gross of table-spoons or dining forks, 12 oz. to the gross of dessert spoons or forks and 8 oz* to the gross of tea-spoons This quality of plaie will cost, on the azerage, twice as much as 4 oz and will have four times the amount ot silver on it. Thirty-six oz- plate will cost about three times as much as 4 oz , and will contain nine times, the amount of silver in it. Thirty-six oz- plate is tho lightest that will allow the engraving on it, of name or initials, without cutting through unto the metal beneath. Forty-eight oz plate will cost about four times as much as 4oz plate, and will contain 12 times the amount of silver. This plate costs about one hall as much as solid silverware of ordi dmary weight, and for every day use will be more durable than light, sB]id silverware Most ot thft solid silverware is made much too light to be dura ble in constant use. The terms "double." "treble" Ac Ido not use to designate qualities—there being too much ambiguity in their use . All goods, made by me, having my name and fig ures denoting the oz, piate. stamped on them, will be guaranteed fall weight of silver on first quailty of metal on them. I will plate to order, goods of any thickness of plating desired, from 4 to 43 or Old goods, (Ist quality of metal) plated any thick ness required P. C.
