Idleness and Vice
Young men, beware of idleness. Accustom
your mind to habits of regular labor. Fix
the attention upon,a course of usefulness to
yourself and others.—Anaken within yourself
an interest for the accomplishment of a pur•
poso. Cultivate a habit, of patient endurance.
Let it be your desire to secure the approbation
of the wise and good. Link yourself to those
who are doing something in the world, and
who compose the framework of society, and
let your motto be determination, activity and
perseverance. Sit down, clamly while young,
and look over the ground, and get a clear
view of what is Wore you. Than lay your
foundation and go to work.

is of no use as a member of society, or to his
own family, and when he passes away, his
name will be forgotten by all but those who,
connected with him by the ties of nature, will
perhaps, long feel sad at the recollection of the
fact that "he died as the fool dietk." It seems
surprising that two such beings can belong to
the seine species. And yet this is the natural
consequence of starting in the two different di-
rections. We often sea two much widely dif-
ferent careers diverging from almost the same
point. The same family will be able to rejoice
over one son who has realized the expectation
of friends, and is pursuing an honorable and
noble career; and on the other Itzt i d will be

is true, too, that every• young span has all
these matters in his own hands. Each has the
power to turn his feet from the path of the
foolish and seek for true honor. ‘Ve are more
fearfully impressed with the fact that every
man has the power of control over his own
destiny, except in casses of absolute ignorance
of the way of improvement. Young man, look
about you. Inquire what you am doing„ and
what you ought to be. Let it not be said that
you are
"Fixed, like a plant, to one peculiar spot,
To draw nutrition, propagate, and rot."
If you have been dreaming away your lite,
wake up and take a now start. It is not too
late. You can yet make your mark upon the
the world. These are stiring times, and though
we do not, with some, think the world on the
high road to perfection, yet we know that this
is an age of wonders, and age of progress, and
offers an opportunity, for every man ‘N ho wants

LV"ln consequence of sickness and a fami
ly bereavement, we were enabled to issue but
half a sheet this week. Our readers will
therefore bear with us; we shall try to make
up the loss hereafter.
The First of April
Many or our subscribers in town and coun
try have changed their places of residence on
the first of the present month ; such will please
notify us.as soon as ros,ible, so that we may
know whore to send their papers. A word
left at our office, or a line by letter, stating the
placefi.or and the place to which they have re
moved, will insure the delivery of their papers
regularly at theit new homes, as they receive
them now. The present Post Office facilities
enable us to send papers, almost anywhere.
Dreadful Catastrophy.
On l‘londay last, at about 9 o'clock in the
forenoon, a loud report was heard in town,
which proceeded from the largo Still-house of
Messrs. C. g• IV. _Edelman, on Trout Creek; near
our Borough. We proceeded to the scene of
destruction which was at once awful to behold.
Three men, named Pctcr Unangd, Charles Mc-
Ginnis, an Irishman, and John Lebbler, a german,
were brought out, covered witli the liquid sub
stance,contained in a wooden tank,whichexplo
dcd and scalded from head to foot in a manner at
once frightful to look at, and laboring under ex
cruciating pain. Doctors C. L. and C. 11. Mar
tin, Wm. F. Donowsky arid John Romig, were
immediately called, who unclothed the unfor
turiatemen,and applied all possible medical aid.
Leales one of the men, is supposed to have been
struck by a piece of wood over the nose, which
caused an awful gash. It is not expected that
They can survive. This is indeed the most
melancholy case we have ever yet been called
upon to record.
There are various opinions as regards the
cause of the explosion. It is supposed, how
ever,
that. the valve admitting the steam into
the still, stopped itself, and with no way to es
cape, brought on the explosion.
It has raised the roof of the building and made
the Elate fly, in every derection. The machin
ery inside is a complete wreck, every thing is
broken to pieces. The loss to the Messrs. Edel
man, cannot be less then f 51,500.
I..ust.—We have just learned, that John
Lebblcs and Charles McGinnis, died of the effects
of their wounds, the same afternoon at 3 o'clock.
The former leaves a wife and infant child, and
the latter a wife and three small children to
morn their untimely loss. The families of both
of these unfortunate men are in very needful
circumstances and we trust will be.attended to
by their kind neighbors.
Still Lalcs.—Mr. Peter Unangst, also expired
at 7 o'clock, this afternoon. Ile leaves a wile
and one ollikl. How true it is that 'in the midst
of life we are in death.' Little did these per
sona think in the morning, when the beautiful
rays of the rising sun of the east, shone upon
them, that before that very sun had passed the
horrizon to throw its rays from the far' west,
they would be stretched on their couch a life
less body. "Prepare in life for death."
Allentown Seminary
The pupils of this popular Institution gave a
Musical Entertainment, on the Evening of
Thursday last, the 30th of March, at the Odd
Fellows' Hall, in this Borough. Tho occasion
was a very interesting one, and no doubt our
young folks. found the performances a profita
ble one. This Institution is rapidly rising un
der the assiduous labors of its spititod and tal
ented Principal Rev. 'C. R. Kessler, who com
menced but a few years ago, with only five
pupils. The last session they numbered one
hundred and lijiirtleo. A large addition to his
,-chool building is in progress of erection which
is called for by the rapid accession of pupils.
This enables him to add at least 100 more to
his list next session. He has experienced "a
day of small things," but energy, ability and
perseverance has done a great deal for him
already—and will do greater things in time to
come.
Public School Exhibition.
On Friday evening, the examination of our
Public Schools took place at the Odd Fellows'
Hall. The Schools had each a seporate ex
amination at their rooms; which was but poorly
attended, and an inexcusable apathy and indif
ference has been shown by two many of out
citizens; in consequence of which this joint ex•
hibition of the pupils of the higher classes was
got up, and the concourse in attendances was
indeed very large. The president of the school
board Mr. Jonathan Reichert, under whose su
perintendence the whole affair was got up,
deserves the highest praise of the citizens of
Allentown, for the interest he takes in the pub
lie schools of this place. We never have
known a gentleman devote himself with 8136
entireness. He aims at the highest attainments
and strives with all his powers to place the
Public) Schools in the front rank. This is a
laudable ambition, and one that we cannot too
much admire and commend.
Last-year there were conveyed between the
United States and Europe, by the British and
American mail steamers, 4,600,000 letters, and
1,380,000 newspapers,
Almost a Fire.
It is a very bad practice with many people
in this Borough, to throw their coal ashes near
a stable or other frame building in the yard, and
even some people throw them on their man•
ure heap, near the stable, where often times
dry hay and straw come in contact with them.
Such has been the case a few day ago. Ado.
mestic of the family of Mr. Joseph Saeger, threw
a bucket full of Coal ashes on the manure heap
near. the stable, and shortly after the straw at
and near it ignited and was in full blaze, and
but for the timely assistance of Mr. Abraham
Lucas, who had occasion of passing by, the
whole range of stables on the rear of his lot,
would have been in flames, and the damage
thereby done might have been very serious.
March Snow.
On Thursday last, the 30th of March, we
were visited by a snow storm. It continued
snowing during the day, a thick mist cleared it
off again during the following night, and al
though the weather being somewhat January
like, the sky is clear again, and we are in hopes
of spring weather setting in.
Sale of the Public Works
The Senate bill providing for the sale of the
public works, which passed that body several
weeks ago, is still upon the files of the House
where it has not , yet been acted upon. The
Democratic majority in the popular branch are
anxious to stave off the question. They have
reported half a a dozen new bills, all different
and it is doubtful whether they will agree upon
any ore of a practical character. Should the
Legislature adjourn without meeting this ques
tion, the people should take it in hand, arid by
electing Judge Pollock insure the passage of the
right kind of a bill next year.
$250 Dollars Reward

of the former is $2,500, and that of the latter
$3OO. Both insured in the company.

Plain Talk to Young Men
They talk about staples and great staples.—
Honest, industrious, able young men, are the
great staples in this world of ours. Young man !
you are wanted, but not for a doctor. No, nor a
lawyer. There are enough of them for this
generation, and one or two to spare. Don't study
"a profession," unless it be the profession of
bricklaying or farming, or some other of the
manual professions. Don't measure tape if
you can help it. Its honorable and honest,and
all that, but then you can do better. Of all
things don't rob the women. Its their preroga
live to handle silks and laces, tape and thread.
Put . on your hat, then, like a man, don an ap
ron, and go out doors. Get a good glow on
your cheek, the jewelry of toil upon your brow,
and a good set of well - developed muscles. We
would go if we could but then we were young
longer ago than we like to think, and you
know when one's, old he can't.
Besides, if you become a doctor, you'll have
to wait—' because you haven't the experience,'
says an old practitioner ; " because you are
too young,'' says all the women. If you are a
lawyer, likely to rise they'll put a Weight on
your head, a la Swiss, to keep you under ; or,
if you make a good argument, some old op
ponent, as grey as a rat, will kick it all over,
by some taunt or other, because you were. not
born in the year ono. And so it will go, until
you - grow tired and soured, and wish you had
been a tinker, perhaps "an immortal" one, or
anything but just what you are.
Be a farmer, and your troubles are over, or
rather, they don't begin. "You of the earth,"
as they used to say, " up to the sky ;" you are
independent all day, and tired, not weary, at
night: The more neighbors you have and bet
ter farmers they are, the more and better for
you. •

Departure of Indians.
The deputation of Omahas, Missourias, and
Ottoes, sent hither by their respective tribes to
negotiate treaties with the United States govern
ment, left the city yesterday afternoon, for their
homes in Nebraska, by way of Wheeling and
St. Louis.
Major Catewood, who has them in charge, in.
tended to pass through Baltimore, Philadelphia,
New York and other cities, but the elder chiefs
strenuously was opposed to so much railroad
travelling.
They have, at the expense of the government
been dressed in citizens' costume, and quite be..
come it. If they could only be as easily divested
of their wild habits, and placed in the boots of
civilization, there would be ample cause for re•
joicing.
On Friday evening they had a celebration in
prospect of their return ' , home," (a place as
dear to the occupant of the humble wigwam as
to the tenant of a castle.) They sang in chorus,
and otherwise manifested thilitelight. They
said, through their interpreters;Vrat they never
were before so happy in a white,face's wigwam
as they had been at their pale mother's, (mean.
ing Mrs. Maher's ;) they had never before re
ceived so much kindness and so much good
food anywhere in their long journey, and that
it they had a heart big enough to put her in it
they would carry her to their home and make
her their pah•ba.lo, (royal matron;) and that
they will tell all the tribes in the far.oir west,
that there is no wa•ha•wah.to (woman so good as
she.
It is a custom among the Omahas, when a
squaw is noted for her kind acts, particularly in
her charities, to call her pnh.ba•to and tattoo a
small round mark upon her forehead that she
may be known and respected accordingly.
Seeing that their remarks were written down
they requested to have their names affixed, and
certified thereto by a cross.mark.
At parting, Ahiha.chicike,soqui; of the Mis„
sourias, tho oldest chief, advanced to Mrs. Ma.
her, and delicately placed an amulet about her
neck, indicative of a (wish or spell) that she
should never grow old.
As to Jemmy Maher, one of these Indians in..
vited him to the Indian country with him,

Interesting to Postmasters
The House Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads, Wave unanimously agreed% report
a bill increasing the compensation of the Post
Masters in the United States. They are now al-
lowed commissions at the following rates, viz:
On the first $lOO per quarter, 50 per cent; on
the next $3OO per quarter, 40 per cent; on the
next $2,000 per quarter, 95 per cent.; all over the
last sum, 15 per cent.
Under the bill, as agreed upon by the Corn.
mittee, their commissions will be as follows, viz
On the first $lOO per quarter, 60 per cent.; on the
next $3OO per quarter, 50 per cent ; on the next
$2,000 per quarter, 40 per cent.; on all over-the
last sum 15 per cent.
The bill of the Committee proposes to allow
the Postmaster General the discretionary power
of increasing the compensation at distributing
and seperating offices.
For the proposition, postmasters throughout
the United States owe much to the lab(.rs of Mr.
Olds of Ohio, the Chairman of the House Post
Office Committee. The, gentleman has devoted
much time to investigations bearing on the quest
ion of the adequacy of the compensation now all
lowed by law to that class of the Government's
einployees. Having been able to procure the
unanimous consent of the committee to this pro.
position, we take it for grants(' that he will also
be able to fortify it with reasons so cogent, as

ty nine years of age arrived at Paris, about a
month ago, to seek a place, but as he was pro.
vided with a very large sum of money, he resolv,
edr to Indulge in debauchery, until it should be
spent. On Thursday evening he went to dine
with some acquaintances, and remained drink.
ing until 4 o'clock in the morning, He then re,
turned to his, hotel in the Rue St. Honore, but
was so drunk that he could hardly walk up
stairs. One morning a person calred to see him
and was directed to his room, which was situ.
ated at the bottom of an isolated corridor. To
his astonishment he found him hanging by the
neck by the cravat, to the handle of the door.—
He, it appeared, in trying to open the door, bad
slipped and his cravat which he wore very loose,
caught by the handle. The efforts he made to
release himself, in his state of intoxication, were .
fruitless, and he remained hanging until he was
completely strangled.

themselves that they would not do any business
in the court so long as he presided. The. Judge
with perfect nonchalence, told the lawyers he
would think about it, and in the meantime would

also asked him to resign, when the lawyers pro-
posed to him that if he would agree in writing

The Gold Fields of the World.
Gold abounds, to a greater or less extent, in
almost every country. It has been found in
small quantities in Spain, Portugal, Sweden, the
Germanic States, Turkey and even in England.
The produce of the Russian gold mines is from
fifteen to twenty millions of dollars annually
Besides Australia, gold is found in China, Ma,
lacca, Japan, Borneo, New Guinea, and New
Zealand. It has also been discovered in con
siderable quantities in about the Chaudiere river
in Lower Canada. The eastern gold region of
the United Stales is considered as beginning in
Virginia, extending through North Carolina,
along the northern part of South Carolina, and
thence northwesterly into Alabama, terminating
in Tennessee. The 'diggings are supposed to
be pretty well worked out, although productive
at times. In 1843, $1,200,000 was dug, from the
gold mines of Virginia. The west coast of
America, both north and south of the equator, is
perhaps the region having the greatest number
of gold deposits. The precious metal is found
in considerable quantities in all the South. Amer-
ican States. Gold is procured also from vari,
ous parts of Africa, to the amount probably of
$2,500,000 yearly. It is estimated that the total
yield of gold during the year 1853 was $250,000 ,
000; and it is supposed that the whole stock of
gold and silver bullion now in circulation is
twenty,five hundred millions of dollars.
Romance in Real Life
Man ied.—ln this village February 11, by J.
Q. Farmer, Esq., Mr. Elias Jones, to Miss Di. lizt
Swap.
There is a little history connected with the
above which may not be uninteresting to the gen.
oral reader. About the close of the last war with
Great Britain, the parties become acquainted
with each other, and in April 1822, were mar_
ried in the county of Genessee, New York,
against the consent and wishes of relatives on
both sides. A few weeks prior to the birth of
their second son, Bradford, now of this place,
Mr.J. left his home for the purpose of purchasing
a piece of land, and during his absence, the wise
was persuaded by her relatives, to desert her
home and husband, and reside with them. Mr:
J. learning the fact, and being threatened with
violence if he attempted to claim his family, left
the country and went to sea. On his . return
several years subsequent, he ascertained that
Mrs. J. had again married and removed to the
West.. In palliation of this transaction, it should
be stated that the wife supposed her former hUs.
band.dead, and did receive tidings of his loss.—
Mr. Jones immediately returned to his vocation
on the sea; and from that period until a few
weeks since, lost all trace of his wife and his two
ECEI3I
After a space of twenty-five years, he chanced
by a mere circumstance, to learn the residence
of his sons, and wended his steps to this place,
where, to his gratification, he learned that their
mother was still living, and a widow having lost
her second husband, after rearing ten children,
and then residing in Mercer, l'a. In company
with his son, Mr. Jones immediately started (or
the residence of the partner of his youth, who at
once recognized and welcomed him to her home;
though she cot ld not have been more surprised
had he risen from the grave to confront her.—
The trials of the past were recounted, the love
of youth renewed. and after a brief courtship, they
were again plighted, and the finale is recorded
at the head of this article.—Connerna (0.,) Rep.
