wbose fortune is rapidly made bir, selling
land, which cost him one dollar and twen
ty-five cents per acre, filr,ten, twenty,
forty, fifty and one hundred dollars per
foot front, by one hundred feet in depth.
It remains to be' seen ha the purchas
ers fare. As it is very true that fools are
not all desid, these first Ipurchapers are
generally ' auccessful in tettivs rid ,of
their interests atadvenced rates, and thus
success number two is thfr result. But
the' fact,., stares the
. atudieus observer
steadily in the feet, that," in most-iestin
ces, these places cannot Ponibly attain to
any very considerablegreinth, for there is
not country , enough to support them, sup
posing the land to . be divided up into
eighty-acre lots, or, as most generally
the case, into farms of one, twO and three
hundred urea each: Nbr are there the
resources of manufactoris to fall back
upon; for it is a fact, which the intelli

es should be made accordingly. If the .
"city," by .any good fortune, should reach
to a populatiotrof Wu' thonsand, the pres
ent prices of the lots are lentirelyi dispro
portionate,to such success. Twenty, for
ty, sixty and .one hundred dollars per
foot—common !prices of land in these
"cities" of which we are now writing—is
too much by fifty per cent ; for, add to
this first colt the neeessaryimproveme.nts

pretty "steep", prices, but he succeeded
in buying out an earlier', settler, agreeing
to pay one hundred dollars per footfront

SPEECH FROM A :VETERAN OP ONE,
HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN! YEAns!----
The Chicago . Tribune states that at the
Pioneer festival, at Madisoa, Wis., a very
interesting speech was made by Joseph
Creelie. He had lived one century and
seventeen years, had been three times
married, and, of his nine children, only
one, the seventh, survives,, and she has
reached the allotted three score and ten
He speaks of "grandchildren almost with-
Out number," and says
" I come down to you,, fellow pioneere,
from a former century—an!old man, with
the habits, customs , and feelings of the
simple-hearted, contented race of.a centu
ry au°, with few,wsuats, and no ambitions
aspirations. . I can with truth say that I
love my native land ; I have cheerfully
risked:my life in its :defence, in repelling
the British and Indian foe; and 1 trust
there are none here to-day;who will fail
to stand by our country in everylhour of
trial and'danger."
Think of the experienees of this white
haired veteran ! He has seen this mighty
.nation burst the bonds of Colonial depen
.ence and rise to the first, rank among the
nations.of the earth. He was twenty-five
.when Massachusetts began :hor resistance
.to the stamp act ; he 13:T the French and
Indian :ware, the wax of Revolution, and
was in the prime of life when Washington
was elected President. When he was
born Frederick the Great: sat on the
throne of Prussia, and since that day Na
poleon Bonaparte has played at Corsica,
studied at 'Brienne, conquered Europe
and died at St. Helena.

SINGULAR EVENT.—Ort Saturday last,
Mr. Samuel M. Dockum, at his furniture
manufacturing room in Daniel steel, emp
tied a hair mattrass *can the sack, and
rolling up the ticking (abOut ten yards)
in a compact form, placed it. on the top of
an old secretary, which ,hati-been sent in
for repairs. The latter article , -was lal'
against the side of his'work bench, an ,
was slightly elevated abole it. ' On Mon
day morning on entering. ;the shop the
ticking had been entirely consumed by
fire, not a single square , inch of it could
be found. In the pieee of furniture on
which it was laid was a hole burnt equal
to a square foot, and charred beyond, and
in the floor was a place burnt of half an
inch deep. The mystery could. not be
solved until it was found that a panorama
lens on a pedestal Which had been sent in
for repairs, had been aecidentatily left on
the bench before the window; at just such
a distance as-to bring the focus of the sun
at in early hour of the Morning,: directly
on: the cloth, As the shop was closed
there was no air to produce a blaze, aud
it is probable that it was mouldering for
half the day at least. Had the building
burned down, the *martian that the fire
might have originated in this way scarce
any one would have listened to. • It is a
fortunate circumstance t6t it is a rule of
tfie shop to have all the shavings cleared
up every Saturday night,. as the observ
ance of that rule probably saved the build
ing. •-The escape is as providential, as the
cause of the fire was singular.--Ports

VISE
HOW TO EDUCATE OUR , Cim.s.—ln.
stead of educating very , girl as though
she was born to be independent, self
surporting member q society, we educate
her to become a ins dependent, dependent, a hang.
cr-on, or, as the law ilelicately phrases it,
e
a chattel. l n -,so respects, indeed,
among whom a plan' ity of wives is per
mitted, aiid who re,,, d women purely as
so much live stock; or among such pe. -
ple women are, at all events provided
with shelter, food and clothing—they
are "cared for," as cattle are. There is
a completeness is s+h a system. . :But
among ourselves we treat women as cat-
I
tle, without . providing for them as cattle.
We take the worst part of barbarism, and
the worst part of civilization, and work
them into a heterogeneous whole. We
bring up our women to be dependent,
and then leave them without any one to
depend on. There is no, one, there is
nothing for them to lean upon, and they
fall to the ground. Now, what every
woman, no less than every man, should
have to depend upon) is an ability, after
some fashion or , otheri„ to turn labor into
money. She may or Imay not be compel:.
led to exercise it, b 4 every one ought to
possess it. If she belong to the richer
classes, she may hav to exercise it; if
to the poorer, she assuredly will.

HOOPS MELTED l Sabbath before last,
a violent thunder storm passed over Nei
Jersey. 'At Jamesburg, near Amboy,
the Sabbath School bf the Presbyterian
Church was holding j its meeting in the
afternoon, when the fluid struck the
building. It entered the roof, making
only a small hole and descended by the
chandelier to the centre- of the 'church,
where it exploded. Quite a number of
adults, as- well as•ehildren were prostrat
ed by it, and their. clothes burnt. Yet
no fatal result followed althonA some
hours, and even days, followed before per
feet Festoration took place. But the re
markable feature of it, remains to be told,
and this , is given by a f clergyman who
re
ceived it from one presant. It is stated
that' the ladie.s who wore brass hoopS in
their dresses, were uninjured, but the
hoops themseloes.were mclted! The elec
