He got his grandfather's horse-pistol and loaded it to,the muzzle, and thrust a large butch er knife in his bosom, which thrust didn't hurt him much, for it was the bosom of his coat. A lantern complet ed his "fixings." • The meetingclosed, and Joshua, with Seminio leaning on his arm, like a large gourd hanging from a tall vine, set out for the Pineapple mansion. " We are in the woods, now, Jemima," Said Josh, as he assisted hispartner over the fence of . the last field, "and now comes the tug' of war. bet a dime that these woods are full of wolves." "I think they will not atlack us; but if they do, oh, Joshua, on thy arm I will recline, and breathe my life out sweetly there." And she gave such a sigh that Josh started,' thinking it the half-smothered growl of a bear. "What is' the matter Josh?" "Oh, nothing." And gaining new courage at-the sound of Jemima's voice, lie squeezed her ari till she nearly screamed aloud. • Suddenly a cry ',choed through the woods. - "Wolves !" shouted Josh.

But fortunately he alighted on his feet, and in an instant lie was again in the tree, hatless, his red locks catching in the branches, :which cruelly tore them from his head. "r was a durnd fool, Jemima, to have loaded that pistol so heavily, and it kicked me right into ,the wolves' mouths; but thank Moses, I escaped.— Just feel my head."

In my last let er, I promised that, my next should tell you something of the changes. a year has wrought, in the social and pont cal condition of Lar amie City. When I canto to this coun try a year ago, the track of the U. P. R. R. ended about twenty-five miles west of this post; only construction, trains • being allowed to run beyond Laramie ; which, was then the great point for the shipment of goods, and the delivery of stock; the principal contractors made it their headquarters, and purchased their outfits and sup plies of Laramie merchants. The pop ulation at that time, was about 2500; .who found - shelter in tents, and adobe huts ; there being but two or three frame buildings in the place, land they were occupied as stores. Two hotels met the wants of the traveling public,- while about a half-dozen eating houses fed the greater portion of the populace, at the rate of one dollar a meal. Near ly every place in the city had a bar,- over which the worst kind` of liquors were dispensed for twenty-five cents a drink, cigars the same price. The great resort at • that time, was known as the " Big Tent," devoted to gambling, and occupied by as great a set oftogues, as ever did credit to a hangman's skill; there, a " fool and his money, soon part ed," for woe be to the luckless -wight who exposed money in that place ; for did he escape the wily gamblers with in the tent, he could get but a few "steps from the door, till lie would be set up on by foot-pads, and relieved of his val.- uables in a more summary :manner, for this class of thieves did not scruple to use revolver or knife to quiet their victim and secure their -booty; their necessities knew no law, and there were no policemen to protect the unwary or preserve peace. . A half-dozen Dance Houses were kept running, and drew a great deal of custom i but, I will not attempt a description of these dens of infamy, now that the place Is so nearly purged of them. As the road advanced, many of the saloons and brothels were removed further west; to Green River, Bryan City, and Wasatch. Then com menced the ellbrt to organize a city government, that would be a credit to the place ; men of means were invest _ing capital in Laramie, realizing that it would become a principal point for business, next to Cheyenne; a local Vigilance Committee was organized, and made short work with those of the gambling and thieving fraternity who did not quit the country on short no tice ; .their mode of operating I de scribed in a previous letter. During the fall, the railroad company erected a very tine hotel, capable of ac commodating 200 guests ; a freight de- pot, (round house), to accommodate a dozen locomotives—and a machine shop, allording employment from, fifty to seventy-live men ; also a hospital for employees ; the only one on the road.— These improvements by the company gave an impetus to the business of Lar amie, which it still maintains; a bank was established by -Rogers kl: Co., of Cheyenne, Which is doing a splendid business, in the hands,of their very ef ficient agent, Col. Dmilalan. The Col. is erecting a very tine two-story, stone building on 2d St., which will be ready for ottellpylng in a few wuoks.; the 'first or ground floor, will be used for bank ing purposes, and the second, as a Ma sonic Lodge, which will be organized this fall ; two Churches, an Episcopal, (frame), and a Catholic (stone) are rap idly approaching completion. Air ex cellent city government has been or ganized, and an efficient police fpree appointed to look after the safety of the lives, and property of the inhabi tants. A. daily paper, the " Laramie Sentinel" advertises the business of the place, and publish a himl column, and summary of tel graphic news from the EaSt. An Odd Fellows Lodge, En gineers Protectivenion, and a Turn A,v erein Society have een organized un derl) favorable ausphes. The amuse : ment of the people "has also been con sidered in the establishment by Aug. Srabing, Esq., of a theatre, with a well selected variety company, giving a style of entertainment, devoid of all vul garity, and patronized by the best _so ciety. On thelbth of June, " Dan Cos tello's Circus and Menagerie" gave two exhibitions to crowded audiences ; on the 13th of J uly, Tom Thnmb and wife, with Com. Nutt and Minnie Warren en- tertained the people. " Langrishe's Dramatic Troupe" open on the 18th, for one week, and on the 26th, the "How son Opera Troupe" from San Francisco, commence a,) series of entertainments. Nor was the Fourth of July forgotten ; meetings were held, and arrangements made to.bring the people of Cheyenn?, and Laramie together, on -the 3d, at Sherman, (Sum in it of the Blaelt Hills), for .a grand pie-nic ; excursion trains were run, bringing the parties together about 10 A. M., ; each delegation being accompanied by a band of music. At 11 A. AE., the ceremonies were com menced with the reading of the Decla : ration of Independence, by Judge Mill er, of Cheyenne, from the top' of Castle Rock i • (the highest point in the Rocky Mountains, traversed 13$ the U. P. R. R.) The orator of the day, Mr. E.M.' Lee, Secretary of the commonwealth of Wyoming, then deliver'd a patriotic and rather political address, which was fol lowed by remarks from Mr. Gurbanati, of the ' Cheyenne Argus," and others. The balanee of the day was spent in fgathering geological specimens, trout ishing, (in Dale Creek), and dancing, until 4 P. M., when the Cheyenne - ollts started for home ; at 0 P. M., the Lara mie train came along, and very soon the delegation from our side of the Black Hills, (among whom was your humble servant) were at home; all apparently well pleased with the first Fourth of July festivities given ; patriotically In Wyoming Territory. On the sth,' a local celebration was given in Laramie, by the Turn Verein Society, which passed off pleasantly, and ended the 6th of Jul', as far as could be for 1569. " WANDERER." Mr. C. was in the habit of asking his children to repeat the text, on their re turn from church, to prove that they gave attention. One sabbath the text was, " Why stand ye here all the day idle? Go into my vineyard and work, and whatsoever if 4 right I will pay thee,' Charlie came home, and Was asked to repeat the text. lie hesitated a mo ment, and then, as if iL just came to him after much thought, he said : " What are you standing 'round here nothin' for? Go into my barn yard and go to work, and I'll make it all right with you." ' An apprentice boy in Pithilield, who was exceedingly fond of mince pies, was told by a lady that she would give him ono if he would sit upon the stove while she counted one hundred.

WHEELING HAS A GHOST. Haunted houses having become too common, the Wheeling Videlligenecr oc cupies over a column in telling a story of a haunted tunnel near the city, on the Hempfield mild. After laying the ground work of the story by reciting the number of murders that have been committed in the tunnel, the Intel gencer proceeds to 'relate •the experi ences of four men who passed through the tunnel on Thursday evening, about six &elect . , as follows: - r.k!he dar 'mess of the cavern had set intp an alailing storm, but still they hob! their vay. boon groans and sup ,.) pliNtions for mercy fell upon their stiliVed eats. The usual cavernous echo Was ;doubly apparent, as the tone of the voic4 was unnatural and sepulchral— the men stood transfixed with horror and fright; the atmosphere was close and stilling. All at once issuing from the solid rock which forms the ceiling, directly over the spot where the murd erer slaughtered his victim, a ghastly form appeared. All around as we have said, was impenetrable darkness, but the spectacle itself was as clearly visi ble as in the noonday. It descended feet first till it reached a place about equidistant from the floor and ceiling of the tunnel, where it stopped and re mained for a few seconds. Although covered with the slime and earth of the grave, the features of the ghastly spec rtre were distinctly visible, ciad in the diabiliments of the tomb. , Its appear ;mice was horrible in the extreme. With one arm extended, and the bloody fing ers of the hand hanging: half severed, 'from their r stems, with the forefinger of the other hand it pointed to a gaping [wound in his temple. The wound seemed fresh, but the drops of blood seemed clotted and stood out in bold re lief on the face of the ill-starred wretch. Without a movement of the lips, a voice apparently issuing from the throat of the ghost, exclaimed in a tone so un natural as to be totally indescribable " let the dead rest !" The horror strick en witnesses of this appalling spectaele rushed from the scene. At the mouth of the tunnel they 'met other parties tv hose credulity was not sufficient te be lieve the story of the witnesses. They therefore obtained- a lantern and re turned to the spot where the apparition was first seen. They were not long waiting when the spirit, in the same place repeated the words he had before used, in, if possible, a more horrifying tone, and glided rapidly through the air towards the western mouth of the tunnel. The individuals thus made sure of the authenticity of the appari tion, were deprived of the power of speech for some hours, and even after the intervention of days their fearful recollections are so vivid as to render them ahNost afraid of speaking t on the subject. • I ' The persons who witnessed this ap- 1 palling ' sl ectacle in the tunnel 'being men of respectable and truthful char acters, their statements create l_ 1 a wide• spread anti profound, sensed° i in the eastern part of the city.where they re- side. This was intensified by facts which were disclosed yesterday morn ing by a gentleinan who lives a couple of miles east "of the city, and which arc related as fellows : lie was coming in to the city afoot, by way of the railroad, , late in the e, , ening and was; approach ing the tunnel on the east, and had no ticed a couple of perconB walking about a hundred yards ahead. lie was a short distance this side of the school house, walk ing_on the track and looking l down to guard his steps, when he suddenly felt a strange shiver and sensation of horror , and looking up, saw a man standing a few yards ahead directly over the stone culvert (where Ulrich 's body was hidden). ilia arms were held up above his head as if guarding against apprehended blows, and the blood was streaming down his face and neck. There was an awful stony glare in the eyes, which rooted the beholder to the ground. His first thought was that it Was one of the men who had been walking ahead of, him who had been assaulted by the other ; but before he had time to follow out the thought he glanced %past the horid spectacle, and saw the two men just about to pass into the tunnel. At, that instant the man, spectre, or whatever it was, van ished, and was nowhere to be seen. Ut terly confounded the frightened and horror stricken beholder stood gazing at the vacant air, trying to comprehend what lie had seen. 1n a moment or two lie had recovered sufficiently to think connectedly. He looked carefully around. Nothing. whatever was to be seen, though it was still light enough to see objects with perfect distinctness. He says hp thought at one moment of running iforward and telling the men who weal ahead, and asking them they had feen anything, but he reflec ted that of course, the apparition was not there..when_ they passed, and re membered that he had been looking for ward over the very spot where it stood, in the alternations between looking ahead and down the track. Besides he felt sure he would he ridiculed, and called a fool for his fright. Lie found it impossible however, to go forward over the spot, and turninv, about he returned home (we judge with a good deal of precipitancy). Yesterday morning he came . into the city by the pike, and hearing of the. appearance in the tunn el, told one or two friends in c infidence whalt he had witnessed. He is au in \ telli *ent person, and not given cre dulic , but he expresses himself unable to ex duin, the mystery. His a !omit of thy apparition corresponds sit -tan tiallylwitir that of the murdered haul Ulrich. CUT THIS OUT AND KEEP,lT.—Frank lin ny re, a highly respectable• and in telligent farmer of Galena, Kent Co., Maryland, gives the following as a sure cure for the bite of a mad dog. As will be seen, he has tested it with the most gratifying results : Eleeampane is a plant well known to most persons, and is to be found in many of our gardens.

THE CALIFORNIA FLYING-MACHINE. —The "Avitor," as it is called, or terial s caiTiage, is a balloon, shaped like a cigar, both ends coming to a point.— It is thirty-seven feet long, eleven feet from top to bottom, and eight feet in. width. • Around the balloon is a light framewor , of wood and cane, strongly ) wired to ether and braced. Attached to this fr me, and standing up as they l ic approach he front of the carriage, are two win s, one on either side. They are each five feet wide at a little back of the centre of the carriage, and do not commence to narrow down until they approach the front, where they come to a point. These wings are made of white cloth fastened to a light frame work, which is braced securely by wires. To the frame at,the hind part of the carriage is attached a rudder or steering gear, which is exactly the shape of the paper used in pin darts, four vanes at right angles. This, when raised or lowered, elevates or depresses the head of the carriage when in mo tion, and wheniturned from side teside r guides the carriage as a rudder does boat. At the centre and bottom of the balloon is an indentation or space left in the material of _which it is built, in which the engine and machinery are placed on framework. The boiler and furnace are together only a little over a foot long, four inches wide and - 'five or six inches in height. Steam is gil)iera ted by spirit lamps. The cylinder is two inches in diameter and has a three inch stroke. The crank connects by 'means of co g-whee ls, - with : tumbling:, hods lead out to the propellers, ne L reofthe,rrj rop ell ers - ar e each two-bladed, four feet n diameter, and are placed in the ramework of the wings. The boiler is wade to carry eight pounds of steam.— When not inflated, the carriage weighs eighty-four pounds. The balloon has a capacity for 1,360 feet of gas. - When inflated and ready for a flight, it is cal culated to have the carriage weigh from I four to ten pounds. Its first pubtio tri- i al at Eau Francisco, on the 4th inst., re sulted in complete success. PROVERBS OF ALL NATIONS :^GOd cures and the doctor takes the fee.

A BAD Jol3.—Mr. Trimble was a well to-do man of the world, but he made his money by means that had ,forfeited all the friendship of those who believe in square dealing ; and, though he roll ed in his carriage, ho could not count a dozen that he might call his friends.— ' At the close of his life the_ number of these had diminished, and when he lay at last, shelved, the paint on his lintel was not worn by the multitudes of those solicitous to render aid to the afflicted. It was before the clay of hearses, and bearers were depended upon to carry the deceased to the grave, which, when, the way - was long made the service very onerous, though it was never re fused. The son of the deceased TriM ble and a poor relative were to make ar rangements for the funeral, the latter to look after and procure bearers. Ile Ni , ent among the people, and while sev-' dial said they would assist, "with pleas ure"—laying stress upon the word—the most of the people were so busily, en gaged-they could not attend. It seem ed, to that poor relative, that there nev er was such a busy time. as then pre vailed, and without seeing half enough, returned to make his report. He found the young man in a barber's shop. "Bill," said he, with a very ruefulex pression, "I can't and any bearers. Bill looked at his coadjutor' with a half wonderful and half funny .'express ion, and said : "Well," Joe, that's.bad ; but I have succeeded Worse than you haVe, for I can't !hid any mourners."

The right to mourn makes everything different. Then, as to mother, I was very young, when she died, and father, though I loved him, was never to me what Roy has been. This luxury of g-ief, like all Luxuries, Is pleasurable.
