STARK, A little elbow leans upon your knee, Your tired knee, that has so much to bear; A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly From underneath the thatch of tangled hair. Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch Of warm, moist fingers, folding yours so tight,- You do not prize this blessing over-much, You are almost too tired to pray to-night. [From the Indianadolla Journal.] ATTORNEY AT LAW, pittston, PA Jan t 1873 -  During the last week the Journal lias announced the death, at the Hotel Kates, of Thomas D. Salisbury and Eliza E. Salisbury, his wife, the former having died on Monday, the 10th, and the latter on Saturday evening, the 21st. Some of the circumstances attending the death of these two most amiable and excellent persons were not only very touching, but rather extraordinary. They formerly resided in St. Louis, and while there were called upon to mourn the loss of two fine children, their sole family, who were lost together while skating near St. Louis, They were a young lady aged eighteen and a lad of fifteen. They were drowned on the 21st of February, 1804, precisely ten years before the day of Mrs. Salisbury's death.

After his permanent settlement in 1792, he served as constable for several years both before and after Isaac Hewit. He might justly claim to be one of the representative men of Pittston. He was, within my own memory, the repository of the earliest political news of the day. In his manners he was genial, and strangers would at lirst sight be favorably impressed. I do not remember what his political sentiments were, but I suppose he was a Democrat of the Jelferson school.

Naturally congenial and devoted to each other, their lives grew more closely together by reason of the hard Providence which at one dispensation had removed both their darlings from their sight withont a word of parting or of warning. Two weeks ago when Mr. Salisbury was taken sick his wife watched at his bedside with sleepless affection. Day and night she ministered to his wants till it was feared her own frame, never very strong, would wholly give way. About twenty-four hours before his death, finding him able to converse a little, she asked him if he knew her by name. To her inquiry if he was willing to die, he said yes. She said, "Thomas, you want to go and see the children, do you not?" He answered, "Yes.'' Then she said, "Thomas, I will follow you 9oon , do you wait for me; I will come very soon." From that moment she evinced no more anxiety about her husband. She seemed to regard his death as certain, and her own as soon to follow. Yielding to the advice of friends, she retired and slept till just before her husband's death, when she rose and bade him good-bye.

I remember those girls much better than I do their brothers; they were all older than myself. I was an odd kind of a genius with red hair, and I think I must have been a favorite with the daughters of Wm. Searle. Although they would often amuse themselves with mysage remarks about their b«aux,tbey always treated me with the greatest kindness, I distinctly remember that Hannah. about the time of her marriage with Mr. Van Stork, made me a present of a pair of woolen socks, I guess because I was an orphan In after life when I camc to be about half a man, Polly Searle, Esq. Blackman's wife was always my fast friend, always frank and cordial. I not unfrequenlly made her my confidant of my young love's dreams, when Esq. Blackman kept the Old Plains Tavern". She was shrewd in those matters, and I am indebted to her for a large amount of sage counsel. She died in the prime of her womanhood, but the memory of her friendship to me, will remain as long as the vital spark continues. Mrs. Blackman was a woman of rare mental endowments, uncultivated, it is true. Yet there was something about her, that attracted the grave and the gay, the young and the old. If you wanted a pleasant evening in 1817-18 you had only to go to Elislia Blackman's; you would be sure to find congenial spirits there. Those golden days are past, but not their memories; blessed be the power of memory. In concluding this number I wish to say a few words to my readers, (if I have any) by way of apology. I find it utterly impossible to give these memories disconnected with myself, and am, therefore, liable to the charge of egotism. But I cannot tell tliem in any other way. And I now beg leave to state ;to them that they must not expect consecutive history in these papers. You must be prepared for frequent digressions, especially when I get upon the portrait of some old and valued friend. I only offer them as sketches of local history, and a faint picture of olden times. If I can arouse in the minds of the preseut generation, a proper veneration, and appreciation of the worth, patriotism, and self sacrifice of their ancestors, I shall not esteem these labors of my old age wholly in vain.

Constant and Rogers must have come into the valley as early as 1773, with the Marcys and the Plymouth and Lackawanna Athertons. He was born probably at Stonington, Conn. That they came together, I infer from the fact that soon after their arrival here, William, his son, and my Uncle John Atheiton, made a scythe without any other fuel than dry hemlock bark, which was then the only scythe in the neighborhood, during that season.

A solemn stillness fell upon the bystanders and the thought struck them all that she was greeting her children. From that moment the lady neither spoke nor moved, but sank away and passed from mortal life with the same eloquent smile upon her face.

CHASE, oct.9—tf Office 109 N. Franklin St., Wilke*»Barre HOTEL, At the time of the battle all the people of this neighborhood were quartered for safety ill a stockade fort and block-house, situated upon the ground now occupied by Patterson's Planing Mill. I do not remember any remains of the work. The site has often been pointed out to me by David Brown and Wm. Slocum ; some of our local historians state that it was garrisoned by about thirty men, under Captain Blancliard, at the time of the battle. This statement appears to me extraordinary ; and I can hardly believe that they would remain inactive, while their townsman, Capt. Dethic Hewitt, was engaged in the battle. I was acquainted with Capt. Jeremiah Blanchard. I often stCyDped at his house when I was a boy. He lived in a double log house, on the main road, at the foot of the hill, nearly abreast of Barnum's mill dam. He was fond of talking ; and I am quite sure of hearing liiui say that he was in the battle. And besides this, Wm. Searle stated fo the writer that there were vjery few men in the fort, when they started over the mountain in the direction of Stroudsburg. He said that the women and children were divided into squads, and a leader appointed for each squad. He was one of those leaders. He said there were some four or five men who acted as a rear guard. Comparing these things together, I cannot give full credit to the statement that the stockadc had a garrison of thirty men, on the day of the battle. These conclusions of mine are confirmed by the traditions in the Searle, Brown and Scott families. Millinery and Fancy Coods Harrisburg, Pa. MRS' MAEY J.

She was much older than the bridegroom, but her prospects for an extended lease of life were very poor, and the mercenary husband congratulated himself on the probability of soon coming into full and undivided possession of her fortune. But, alas for uncertainty of human hopes! that indomitable woman with a consumptive tendency, in defiance of all law of probability, continued to live on until fifty-seven more years had expired, and lias only recently departed, at the ripe age of one hundred and fourteen, having put under ground her young husband a score of years before.

Jan The picking up of a pin in a street of Paris by a poor boy, an he wan going from a great bank, saddened at the denial of his application for a place, was the foundling of the success and prosperity of one of the greatest bankers of the queen city of the world. That simple act illustrative of economical spirit asserting itself over present grief, was observed from the window : the lad was recalled, and the refusal recalled at the fame moment. Industry, patience and honesty did the rest. A jumping tea-kettle lid is said to have put the steam in that boy's head who gave us the great giant of modern industry. A kite and a key, in Franklin's hands, were the grandparents of our telegraph and all the blessings of modern invention applying electricity. A swinging greasy lamp, just filled with oil by a verger in the Cathedral of Pisa, caught the eye of Galileo at eighteen years of age, taught him the secret of the pendulum, made many a discovery in astronomy and navigation possible, and gave us the whole modern system of the accurate measurement of time. jyriLLmERY! millinery : LIFE SIZE POKTRAITS A good joke is told of Home Tooke, whom the Tories in the House of Commons thought to crush, by imposing upon him the humiliating task of begging the House's pardon on his knees.

I come now to speak of William Searle, the eldest son of Constant, who fell in the battle. From my own memory, beginning in 1801, and lasting to the day of his death, which happened in 1818. He was born at Stonington, Conn., on the 2d day of December, 1751, O. 8., and was married to Pliilena Frink, at the same place in 1773. Boon after his marriage he came to the valley with his father, but did not bring his wife until the spring of 1770. His second son William was born in Westmoreland 21st of August 1770. Hi remained until after the battle wheu he returned to Stonington with his family, then consisting of two boys—Miner the eldest and William. His family continued to reside at Stonington until 1792, though he spent most of his time at Pittston. William Bearle had a good common school education, and was a capital penman. He was often employed as a scrivner, conveyancer &c. The first stoppage made by the fugitives after leaving Pittston was at Btroudsburg, where they remained several days to recruit their exhausted energies. During this brief delay, Mr. Bearle was employed by Col. Stroud in writing deeds, contracts, &c. I have now before me, a Spanish milled half dollar bearing date 1702, which was paid by Col.

Sufficient Reason.—An old clergyman, who had got a stronglunged helper, observed that one of his hearers was becoming irregular in his attendance at church. Of course the divine felt it his duty to visit the backslider, and he accordingly went to his house,T)ut the Kudeman was not in. He inquired of the wife why John was so Beldom at church now. "'Oh, indeed, minister," she replied, without the slightest hesitation, "that young man ye've gotten roars sae loud that John canna sleep sae comfortable as he did when ye used to preach yersel' sae peaceably."
