MONROE COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1846. Violating the Treaty. Among the appellants for justice at the Re corder's office yesterday, was Damon Dunfield, an old Ethiopian, whoso woodsaw was hung on his shoulder, like the guitar of a iroubadour, ore the days of chivalry had gone by. Damon looked about as wise as an owl in daylight ; he appears 10 have borrowed fur the occasion, the dilapidated hat of Jackques Strop, and the re mainder of his wardrobe seemed made to match. His hair was a grizzly grey, and his face wrin kled and puckory, like a postillion's boot. " I wants to hab dis 'ere business settled, massa 'Corder, agreeable to de conslirtushim." " What business is that?" said the Recorder. " Whoy, you sees, massa 'Corder, dis 'ore nigga has wiorlated do treaty afTer de boundary line was 'greed to 'tween us."

"He didn't," said Damon, "but vou sees, massa Judge, he'a strange nigga, and I calls on you to purtect home industry. I wants you to go in for what massa Clay calls de 'Merican system." The Recorder assured Damon that he would do all in his power to protect home industry and lo support the American system, but that he could not interfere with his rival in business, or prevent his hawing wood within the imagi nary lines to which he (the plaintiff) seemed io set up a piescriptive right. The case was dismissed. Damon shoulder ed his saw, and pledged himself to bring the case before a higher court. True Fortitude. Newton gives us the following. 1 went one day to visit a friend just after she had lost all her fortune. I could not bo surprised to find her in tears, but she said: '1 suppose you think I am mourning for my loss, but it is not so; I am now weeping to think 1 should foel so much uneasiness on the ac count.' Earth has engrossed my lovo to long ; 'Tis time I lift mine eyes Upward, my Father too thy throne, And to my native skies.' 1 It is impossible to make people understand thuir ignorance; for it requires knowledge to pnrceive it,, and therefore,. he then can pcrcuivo it, hath it not. Valuable Copper Region iu. Peuu Kylrania. It has come to our knowledge within a day or two that a company of gentlemen in this city have been recently engaged in exploring lands on the Allegheny range, in Pennsylvania, and have discovered very valuable deposits of Cop-( per. They have secured all the lands upon which any indications of copper are percepti - ble in that quarter, and arc now mining and pre - paring to enter into smehing operations. The geological formation of the country in which thesu deposits have been found, we are told, closely resembles the famous lands on Lake Superior, (Isle Royal and Eagle-river,) where thc richest mineral deposits have been developed. We learn from the Reports of the experien ced Geologist and Mineralogist who has been I ble member of the Methodist Church, and otb engaged by those gentlemen in making their! ers. The gentlemen referred to, say ihat sho locations, that among the mountains, especial-; herself talks very rationally, on religious sub ly on the western side, where these mines are jects, and they came away favorably impressed, situated, appear thick but regular strata of quartz o far as her sincerity was concerned. rock, which are mixed and covered with strata' ' " . , ' . , i How She got rid of Hun. of crystalino limestone.

These strata are irregular: thrown from their original position by the upheaving of the green stone, and so bent and broken in many direc tions as to be difficult to trace for any great dis tance. The srecn stone which has raised tha super- incumbent strata bears the strongest similarity . ' . . , UC UI I.U1JWUI III ICI1I9, 113 III mi.

Thc Newark Daily Advertiser furnishes an account of a young woman living in Middle town, Monmouth county, N. J., who exhibits a certain magnetic phenomena similar to those know n among the ecstacies of tho Roman Cath olic Church, and in some respects like those of the "Seeress of Provost," concerning whom Dr. Roomer, a distinguished physician of Ger many, has given so interesting an account. Tho paper says that the person is now seven teen yeara of age. Tho account is derjved from two clergymen of Middletown, who havo visited the patient. " For four years past sho has been afflicted with some mysterious disorder which has con- ! fined her to het bed for nearly that whole pe riod. At first it assumed the form of St. Vitus' Dance, which was followed, some time after wards, with a remarkable sensitiveness of the whole Mirfacc of thc body, that made tho sligh test touch very painful, until recently it has ta ken or. its present marvolous character.

He thcn mounled hi(J carl and rode off, satisfied that for once a tin pedlar had met his match. He has never called at that house since. Chimneys. Instead of plastering the inside of chimneys in tho usual way, take morter made with one peck of salt to each bushel of lime, adding as much saud and loam as will render it fit to work, then lay on a thick coat. If the chimney has no offsets for the soot to lodge on, it will continue perfectly clean, and free from all dan ger of taking fire. Tho writer of this has iried the eiporiraent, and after three years constant use of a chimney plastered as abovo directed ho could never obtain a quart of soot, though he several times employed a sweeper to scrape it from top to bottom. To persons living in the country, this will be found valuable. Cnrioua Fact A farmer in Vermont last season was behind, all his neighbors in cutting the grass in. fu meadows. At night somo waggish bnys went into one of his meadows and cut do n all th grass in it. Thoy also went into his pnuto, patch and cut a few swathes through, il.
