A speculator has offered the enormous
sum of 4000f. for the purchase of the fra-

receive that sum from Parisians alone,
and that afterwards the pane may be re
moved in its iron frame, and carried round
the provinces. This event has made more
sensation than any other that has occur
red in Paris since New Year's day. The
excitement is on the increase. Crowds,too

A Burning Mountain
"We read with no small degree of inter
est an article in 'Scott's Weekly' from
the pen of a Mr. Silas S. Steel, on what
he terms the 'Bnrning Mountain' at Coal
Castle, in this State. The existence of a
burning mountain in our own State, we
must confess, is something quite new to
us. Yet the writer states that this stu
pendous mountain-bed of burning 'au-
thracite has been for the last thirteen
years, glaring and smoking through the
hot and cavernous crevices', formed by its
outward combustion, and casting forth its
coulds of vapor and sulphurous lava.
This mountain embraces a portion of
Broad 3Iountain, at Coal Castle, a small
mining settlement about five miles north
west from Schuylkill-Haven. The writer
adds :
" The approach to this'vast couldron of:

ground without yielding a plenteous crop.
Afr a long and varied series of experi
ments, I gradually adopted the follwing
mode; as soon as the winter had sufficient

and exercise.'

night, and ajraid to lie alone. What
shall I take for that?'
'For that, madam, I can only recom
mend that you take a husband!'
'Fie! Doctor. But I have the blue3
terribly. What shall I take for that?'
'For that, madam, you have besides
taking air, exercise, and. a husband, to
