She puts a thin layer of apple-butter over the crock full of ashes. Probably the apple-batter is made of Dead Sea apples which, as everybody knows., aro "ashes at the core. .Tita AcADE3I - 7.—We are requested to announce that the Spring .

Stedham Walbridge, B. L. Olmptdd, and Holing Wilson narrowly esoaped death by a falling tree near the Cedar Run log slide, last week Tuesday.— They were lifting logs out of the slide by means of a tackle whit& was hitohed to a tree, when the ties fell,inflicting a severe injury upon Mr Wilson, and narrowly escaping Messrs. Wel bridge and Olmsted. Mr. Wilson, was knocke down, and lay unconscious for two days. Hopes of his recovery are entertained. A ,GOOD ONE.—CoI. Tate, of the Lycoming Standard, has seen and beard Nasby, and gravely informs his intelligent readers that Nast/ is not the Postma . ster at "Confodrit Cross Roads, in the &nit of Xentucky." 'le is," says the Colonel, "a strolling Yankee and neither Kentucky nor the Democracy are wont to own any such scalawag and humbug." Can it be that tho Colonel is the original of "Dekin Pogrom ?" POSSIBLE SELL.—The •Clinton Repub lican has thirfollowing : • 1' We learn that the workmen enghged in quarrying stone along the canal, on the farm of our friend Alex. Reed, below Lockport; have heently come upon 'undoubted specimens of Pe troleum, dc•pe:ited in and permeating the seams and fissures of rock. r Though, as n matter of Wile, we should nnt•lik-A. *— Brook VileNk v fAreu avrrierl7A w'e' know Vf li noba"3 , whom No would rather sea "strike ile" than our public spirited friend Reed." Mi. heed willfind more money in the milk and cream of his tins dairy than all the petroleum which saturates the bed rock. The quarry men have struck the same rock that underlies Jorge; tracts of Tioga county. At the depth of about 46 feet the drill strikes a fine sand rock thoroughly saturated with petroleum. This rock averages about 18 feet in thickness. There is no oil to be hail where this rock occurs, as it. absorbs the oil. THE LEGISLATURE.—A bill to secure farmers and the unsuspecting of all classes from frauds in the sale of patent rights in Erie county was offered in the House Feb. 2. Mr. Strang moved to make the law general. We hope ho will press it when the bill vogues up on third reading. The bill to correct a clerical error in the Act touching the eligibility of the officers of the Tioga Railroad Company passed the Senate on the 3d. On the 4,th, Mr•. Niles read in place a bill to change the times of holding courts in this judi cial District. - In the Senate, Mr. Olmstead read a bill in place to prohibit the granting of licenses to sell in tov testing drinks in Clinton County. On the sth Mr. Niles presented a petition for the repe4l of the law prohibiting the hunting of deer with dogs in Shippon, Gaines, and Elk. Petitions signed by 620 females and 748 males, praying for a prohibitory liquor law in Tioga county, were presented the same day. IA SPLENDID WINTER.— This Is , the 75th day of continuous sleighing •(Feb. 12). Sinee)the 30th day of November the hills,in sight of this village have been carpeted with a deep layer of snow, and the roads have been capital. Some thawing days have been scattered along through the time, but the bulk of snow has. been little disturlie;il after all. Do the people know bow extreme'& favorable this sort of winter is to everything, animate and inanimate? Or if they know it, do they ever forget to be grateful-for it? It is next to impossible for great 'epidemics to rage while the ground is covered with snow. -For snow is so clean, and so readily absorbs the noxious gases arising from decomposition ; and then, continuous snow argues pretty steady weather. • * When the snow goes off, and the spring ,opens, you will see that the grass and grain do not for get to be grateful for the protection of the snow. bhould the' carpet remain until the middle of Marsh, as we hope for, the grass will show its green when the snow disappears. For it, liko the wheat, delights in proteotioln from sharp frosts. It is said that, hereabout, there is not a jot of "frost in the earth. The few days of thawing weather have made the snow porous, so that the grass and grain can have all the air necessary to vegetable growth. The winter is full of promise for a bountiful harvest. 11` i. „ IMPOR ANT TO DEALEIIB.-!--Liettiera in Tobacco w 1 find Something to interest them In the followi ' s' decisit ‘ in by Commissioner Rollins: - In relu ion to tobacco in the hands of dealers, I have to sty that section 78 of the Act of July 20, 18684rovides that after Jan. 1, 186,9, (since extended by law to February lb, 1660,) till smoking, fine-cut chewing tobacco; or enuff, and after July 1, 1869, all other manufactured tobacco of el.ery description shall be taken and deemed as having been manufactured after the passage 'of that Act, and shall not be sold or offered for tale unless put up in packages and stamped as prescribed by that Act, except at retail by retail dealers, from wooden packages - stamped as pro vided for in that Act. All manufactured tobnoco, therefore, irrtho hands of dealers after the dates above named, net packed and stamped with tax paid stamps, us 'required by tho new law, must he so packed and stamped at the expense of the, owner or holder, before being sold or offered for sale, though a tar may havo'been previously paid on it. ,-f "The tat is not to be assessed and collected from dealers as it was from manufaoturers under the former law; but it is their duty, after the dates named above, to buy stamps from their collector, and properly stattip their tobacco, net " stamped, before offering it for sale; and it is the duti of Internal Revenue offieers to axe vise the utmost vigilance tp prevent tho sale of up stamped tobaceo after the tiatcq RP-4 1 94. 039110 • To Me llaptiat C'AiirchairfMyr' Aseeciatida.i - • The churches are hereby reinested to forward their respective subscriptions to the Building Fund of the Assooiatiou, without delay, to the undersigned at Wellaboro. - By order of the Com mittee." . VAN ELP Ell, Chairman. t GOSSIP--The hardiest, wiriest, most recuperative thing created: What le it ? A man's body. When the Psalmist said—"we are won derfully and fearfully made?" did he know how ranch 4at-iron there really wan Ina human frame? No Matter. HON; is the most delicate machine in existence—the human frame. 'The smallest and neatest watch over made bears no comparison with it, either for delicacy, adaptation of means, to ends, certainty of otion, or perfectneas of function: - Yet the pow rs of endurance of the rl body are a million tim greater than those of a watch. There is the steam engine; the very symbol of strength and power. Yet no steam engine ever constructed can 'bear the constant action and tension to which tho body is put. Avgirage the pulsations of the heart at 60 per minute in a lifetime of 70 years, and bow many heart-boats does it make? In round numbers about 225,000,000! Think, then, that every pul satiou sends several pounds of blood into the minutest capillaries, of which there arc millions, of the body, and hurls it along the, great arteries in 6 . 4014 waves, giving it such impetus that it returns I,i:trough the veins to its starting point. Of course the blood does not big back 'all it set ,out to carry; for it leaves the materials of hone, tendon, muscle, and several other things, on its round's. If you pinch your finger you give the . heart extra work to do; for no sooner does the news roach the brain along the nerves or sensa tion, which constitute a wonderous system of telegraphing, than the heart sends down an extra quantity of blood to repair damages. • So you have a blood blister, you know, which means that the blood rushes down to the hurt with such force that the little vessels burst, and form a sac for its reception, , —Well. Young man, you ate a good dinner at noon. It was just what nature demanded, say.. When the food, duly masticated, 'reached the stomach, the latter organ sent swift word along the gastric lino of telegraph, to the brain ; and the brain the proper. - excretory organs that e was work for them to do. ' The ex cretory duets poured the gastric juice into' the stomach; and soon, such of the mass 'of food as was easily digestible, was converted into asoft, sticky mass, and propelled toward the outer gate of the stomace, pushed through it, and into the duodenum, or second stomach'. Hero the process of assimilating the mass so as-lo fit it for use in repairing and improving the Condition of -body and brain goes on. All this while the heart has been pumping blood toward the stomach to stui tain it in its added labor. —Well. Young man, you took a good solid dinner at noon, and the heart Worked like a steam engine to assist the organs of digeition to prepare it for use. ~ At two o'clock you took a dozen oys• tors with fixings, you know. Just then we will suppose that the stouiach and heart were con gratulating each other upon having 'lobo their work, and retired a species. of rest,. which should, - ifpossible,We . endured six hours. Down went a dozen oysters upon a ilnoozing stomach, which awoke angrily, protesting, but unable to suppress a despatch to the brain. The stomach might have managed the "extras," possibly; but you thought it rather doubtful, and plumped down a pint of ale, with the best of intentions. to assist the stomach. This aroused the latter to a high pitch of indignation. "Tonics! tonics said_the irate organ ; "why, I could hawo man aged the oyster insult; bat this droni.hing with the gall of bitternes9 is ahuost too mach !" —Well. Tho tatornach is a plucky organ, and it worries through a vast deal of work in the na ture of insult. But when you came down upon its period of rest with the oysters, you shortened your life about two hours, probably. You see, we are machines, physically, and set to make so many revolutions. If you elect to make the en tire number in - ton years of adult life, then don't grumble at the doctor, who 'is not cousultCd, commonly, until you are on your back; nor at . the unde\rtaker, who is bound to'See you decently buried. Irthe atomash can properly Work six hours a dad•—en ei t—akti jura ,, ' 4‘ resulting from surfeit, gallops off I% ith you at thirty ? Now, in addition to the abuses Men tioned, suppose ue add that other, and ‘tnilEt - fearful one—alcohol. It is a virulent prison; in other words it is not assimilable,haeing no aftlin- ity with any fluid or solid of the body. No sttone'r does it reach thu stomach than that organ declares war iron, and tries to expel it. The gastric juice cannot touch it ; the bile only boils with indignatidn and refuses to mix. The pan creatic juice refuses to welcome it to the duode num. So the bison is diffused throughout the system in minute _globules, enraging • the nerves and engorging tho brain. The heart throbs with violence, the vital machinery hurries in its mo tion, and the "wear-and-tear" is doubled. But in addition to this potent enemy of life, aupposo you addthatother, scarcely less potent—opium Hundreds resort to it after alcohol has shattered the machinery. Swallow a few grains of it, and what happens? It, like alcohol, is not soluble in in any juice of the stomach, or other digestive organs. Its operation—rather, the operation of the stomach, liver, bowels, blood, and brain upon it—is such as soon results in some degree of dis organization. Habitual opium oating destroys the tune of the bowels; and finally the victim dies of inanition. —Well-a-day! "You want to scare me, do you'?" No, sir. Fright never reformed a man or woman. We want to shock, and awaken you with the facts.; Why will you commit tuicido? When an unfortunate swallows poison, or resorts to tho rope, or pistol, you denounce the act as an act of insanity. What, then, is the act of the man wbo deliberately swallows poison daily, and takes a dozen years to accomplish what a rope, or a bullet, will do in a dozen second? ? Away with your fine distinctions, friend. Tho man who knowingly violates the laws of life is a. suielde. —Well. Now, if _a man should go to a playsi- olan and — say, " give me two grains of arsenic,' and to the dedtor's question—" what do you want with arsenic ?"—should reply,—"l want to swal" low it,"—ought the doctor to let him b;re the arsenic? Of course not; in so doing he would become privy to the suicide. Well—if a man go to a dealer in •alcohol, and ask for a quart of whisky, saying that it is for drinking -purposes, -"ban the dealer escape privity with' the suicide of Othe drinker? And if a man dio of debauch, eau the man who furnished the liquor escape the guillt of conniving nt " the deep damnation of his taking of"'? COVINGTON.—The Entertainment ad-, vertised to take plado at the Templars Hall, Thursday evening, Feb. 18th, is unavoidably postponed for the present. On Friday morning, Mrs. L. Kiff found a package or money, on the sidewalk, containing one hundred and fifty-five dollars. An owner was soon found in the person of Mr. Thus. Jones, to whom it was returned.

GREAT LAWEITITT.—The Bradford Reporter says : "A trial is now progressing in Court, involv lug as largo an amount of property as any over tried in our Courts, testing the will of the late Daniel MoDuilie of Athens township. Mr. MoD. died in 18138, leaving the bulk cif his prop erty valued at $15,000 as follows: One-third pert to his brother Charles McDuffie, one-third part to Daniel and W. H. Decker, of Towanda, and ono-third part to Hugh Herrick, and others. This alleged that the testator was, not competent to maim a will at the the time of its execution, and the heirs at law of the decedent,'who are cut off by the will, now • desire to set it aside.— The trial will probably occupy the entire week.
