    Thh unfottuuaie,' sighcdv Marfan; '
for, ignorant ol' your attachments, the king
has commanded her to accept Jules de

'Count! the kings command leaves you

There was still a strong twilight at tho
hour mentioned; the Duko was at his post,
paring impatiently to. and fro. Five, ten,
fifteen mitwtes and no Count. Anger.con
tempt, desperation, fury succeesively sei
zed upon him, when in the very height and
whirlwind of his paroxyism the laughing fe
male voice tang in his ears.
'Sorry to have kept you so long waiting;
for I had the charge,' exclaimed Marian,
'of your antagonist; but the fact is, she
ves. she as the Count de Rochefoucauld
liked not her cavalier's dress, and pre
fers appearing before you as you now ap
pear before her without uisguise ! Inez
come forth.'
Of course, tho Duke was at her feet au
moment mime: nnd never after was he a
victim to that painful insufficiency of char
acter which might have made an 'ower true
ale' of Marian's merely fabricated command
of the French monarch.

"A singular circumstance occurred a few
days ago. A large French ship from Ham

one of out little wreckers, about a fortnight

no sails set but jib not the least injured
having a very valuable cargo of wines,
silks, fruits, Sic, and all in good ordcs,and
her papers and everv thing on board in
their propel places. When sounded, three
feet water was found in her huld, which
was immediately pumped; and it wag dis
covered that she" had no leak. A few poul
try and a cat were only found alivo. 1 here
were a number of cages., with Canary birds,

FOUNDRY.
A new Foundry has been erected in this
Soiongh, by the Messrs. Rohrbach. The
machinery is driven by a steam engine, from
tho manufactory of Haywood & Snyder of
Pottsvillc. 1 he roundry is located imme
diately on tho Rail Road, so that the coal
from Shamnkin can be deposited from the
ears at the mouth of the furnace, and in a
short time the iron will be furnished from
tho furnaces which are now being erected
in Shamokin, This will enable these gen
tlemen lo manufacture castings as cheap as
they can be made anywhere else. The
cheapness of coal and iron at this place,
renders it a most favorable location for all
kinds of iron manufactory. The castings
turned out by the Messrs. Rohrbachs are
neat and substantial, and we hope their en
lerpuze may meet with a proper reward
