These lots have been kept from the market for seventeen years, and such an offer at public sale will never again be made in Johnstown. This city is mainly bounded by high and picturesque hills, and its further expansion is, therefore, next to an impossibility, so that the lots uow offered for sale will, in a few years, be much increased in value.

JAMES MYERS, Sheriff. Sheriff's Office, EUtisburg, April 5, lP'-.o.:it. A WILD WESTEHX SCENIC It "was a fine morning in August when little Samuel Eaton, about seven years old, was making a clam in the brook that run beibre his father's door. He was an only and beautiful child, and his mother idol ized him. There he was, with his trowsers tucked up above his knees, working like a beaver, his mother's eyes rleainintr out from beneath his sunburnt hair, and with some of his father's strength, tugging a large stone in the bed of the stream. " Samuel you had better come in, hadn't you ;"' said Hannah, in a tone of half mother and half mate. "Xo," Paid Samuel. An acorn came floating down the stream. The boy took it ui, looked at it, was j deased and "reckoned" in his mind there was plenty more in the "irullv," and when his mothers back was turned, off he started for acorns. The irorire of the mount into which be was about to enter, had been formed (the work of many cen turies) by the attrition of the stream he had just been playing in; and walking on the level that bordered each side of the water, he boldly entered the ravine. An almost per pendicular wall or band ascended on each side to the height of one hun dred feet, composed of rocks and crags, fretted by decaj- and storm into fantastic shapes and positions, A few scattered bushes and trees sought nourishment from the earth that had fallen from the level above, and accepting their substance and the unseen surface of the rock, this natural fort seemed inaccessible but to bird and beast. About an eighth of a mile from the entrance a cata ract dosed the gorge, throwing up its white veil of mist in seeming guardianship of the spirit of waters. The verdant boughs hamrino- over the bank cast a deep gloom over the bed below, while so lof'tv was the distance, they seemed to grow up to the sky. . Blue patches of water were seen deepening between them. Hannah mi.-sed her boy, but as he had often wandered off into the fields where his father was at work, .-he concluded he must be there, and checked coming fears with the hope that he woidd return at the dinner hour, when it came, neither Josiah nor any of his men knew where he was. Then the agitated mother exclaimed : "He's lost ! he's lost ! jly poor boy will starve in the woods !"' (lathering courage, she hastily summoned the family around her, and dispatched them all but her hus band to search in different directions in the neighboring forest. " Scour every field you call yours and if you can't find him, join me in the gorge." "He wouldn't go into the gorge, Hannah. "He would go anywhere." She knew not why but a presentment that her boy had followed the course of the stream dwelt strongly on her mind. " I can't find him, Hannah,' said her husband, as he joined her at the mouth of the gorge. An eagle llew past the mother as she entered the ravine. She thought to herself, "the dreadful birds are tearing my child to pieces;" and, frantic, she hastened on, making the walls of the ravine echo back her screams for her offspring. The only answer was the eternal thunder of the boil ing cataract, which, as if in mockery to her woe, threw its spray upon her hot and throbbing temples. She strained her eyes filled with tears. "Who but a woman can tell the feeling of a woman's heart ? Fear came thick and fast upon the reel ing brain of Hannah. "Oh, my boy ! my brave boy will die ! and wringing her hands in agony she sank at her husband's feet. The pain of " hope deferred" had strain 3, 1866. ed her heart-strings to the utmost tension, and it seemed as if the rude hand of despair had broken them all. The terrified husband threw water in her pale face and strove by all the art he knew to win her back to life. At last she opened her lan guid eyes, stared wildly around, and rose trembling to her feet. As she stood like a heart-broken Niobc, " all tears," a fragment of rock came tumbling down the opposite bank. She looked up, she was her self again, for half way up the as cent stood her own dear bov But even while the glad crv was ; slctT om 01 oatu twenty-lour is lime issued from her lips it turned "into a --ot lt much more than note of horror.
