This is not even the half-way house in our mad career of outlay. The omniscient and omnipresent Jenkins informed us some weeks ago that a wellknown uptown up-town hostess flashed rays of daczling brightness upon her guests from the facets of diamonds, valued by this appriaer, not of the stainless rectitude or the guild of customs, at a million of dollars. No one questions the right of this woman—we beg pardon, this simple Saxon appelliation Is now discarded from the vocabulary, and the entire sex are now ladies—and her immunity of precious stones at will on bodica ana train Is not to be controverted. On the taste of this ostentation, with unemployed hands and unfed mouths famishing almost within the reflection of the gaslights of the gathering, there might be an argument. If she would plate herself with gold to the thickness of an iron-clad or wear the labors of the lapidary to the capacity of a sumpter mule, it would not stint the nutriment of the family; but such an exhibition of dead capital would have been less a subject of criticism eight years ago, when every beggar was on horseback with his portmanteau in a dropsy of greenbacks.No. 7 North Main Street, The undersigned having opened a Market on Exeter street, In West Pittston, near the office of 8.

In both cases, it was apparently a mere question of color; but in both, great principles, underlaid the contest.

Unfortunately, however, McKean was of foreign birth; and was notorious, as Chiet Justice of the Supreme Court for his arbitrary acts. About 1788 he located with his brother Benjamin near the mouth of Roaring Brook, now Scranton. It was then a dense forest of white pine timber.

For is this wild waste, we can hardly call it dissoluteness of living confined to the laity. The church must come in for its full share of reprobation.

That all commissioned and non-commissioned officers should wear on parade the tri-cotored cockade. The General Government had already adopted as the National Budge, the Black Cockade, surmounted by the American eagle. At this time Robert Faulkner, was Colonel of the Lackawanna Kegiment, an ardent member of the democratic party, and a man of more than ordinary capacity, but he was not to the "manor born" and as a consequence, the wild Yankees kept a close watch upon his military proceedings. Ebenezer fSlocum was Captain of the Capause Company. At the ensuing general training, McKean's General Cockade order, was promulgated, in advance, by Colonel Faulkner. But when the regiment paraded, it was found that a large majority of the field officers, and many of the privates, wore the Black Cockade. Col. F. promptly issued an order commanding its instant displacement. The Black Cockade men, especially Capt. tSlocum's Company, laughed at the order and defied the Colonel. They were immediately ordered under guard, or arrest. They made no resistance but protested against the proceeding as unauthorized by any law of the State. The drill went on however, but insubordination was the order of the day. Keuben Taylor proclaimed that he had fought for his country by land and yea, with the Black Cockade in his hat, and he would be dod darn'd if he wouldn't wear the badge when and where he pleased, in spite of Tom McKean, or Bob Faulkner, either. Wm. Blocum, though not in the ranks, got his old Yankee blood up, and said, he had suffered imprisonment, because he would not bow t* the tyranny, of Penna., and he for one, was ready to sustain the revolters. if it cost blood. It was plain that the old Penamlte and Yankee feud, was at the bottom of the contest. The Capause boys, had very little veneration for Pennsylvania laws. PITTiTON, PA. A few »t.p§ from L. & B.

We build structures for our daily life after the models of the tower of lJabel or the temple of Juggernaut, so fantastic in outline and execution that the cost of the sculpture alone in useless 4 adornment Is larger than that of the solid needs of doinestio comfort and convenience. To the sesthetic eye the eflect is not impressive; but to the prevailing furor, sandstone, marble and granite must tax the chisel and mallet to the full scope of handicraft. If, as Madame de Htael declares, architecture is frozen music, ours must be a vacation of Paganani or a fantasia of Ole Bull stiffened into a fixture or congealed in brick and mortar. Life can only be made endurable now in an edifice costing from twenty to one hundred and fifty thousand, with exeeptional cases of a million. And the house only skims the surface of the treasure chest. Then comes the scarcely less heavy diain of its internal embellishment. The respectable three-ply and Brussels are now ban* ished from good society, Axminster, Kidderminster, and the thick piled velvet of the Turkish loom must be trodden upon by our dainty sole leather. Furniture made by the cunning hands of native mechanics is too vulgar for our fastidiousness, and Frauce and Flanders, while our own labor is starving, must be fed and clad by the proceeds of Government five per cents, or first mortgage bonds of railroads, with taooed coupons at their tail. The material, too, Is taken from our Southern coasts, and might be wrought by home skill and furnish tonnage for our commercial marine, if we had any left excepts the steamers of our inland waters and the fishing smacks of Nantucket and Cape (Jod, to bp.defended in case of foreign aggression by the Elrrnra.

HLACKMAN, The property Is situated In South Canan township, in Wayne county, about one mite from No. 12, od the loaded track of the Pennsylvania Coal Company's Road. A practical miller could make 11,000 a year at the mill property. The saw mill property is a desirable one, and could be used for making chair timber, there being plenty of beech and maple timbor on the land. If the Erie Branch from Hawley extends to the coal valley, as it is likely to do, the property would be doubled in value. Apply in person or by letter to T.K.VARNEY, South Canan, Wsyne Co.

Athertou many long years ago. The court martial was duly detailed by a regimental order. I cannot remember from Capt. Slocum's statement whether the court met at Pittston or Wilkes-Barre, but incline to the opinion that it assembled at Col. Faulkner's Tavern (John Sax's). When the members appeared It was found that a majority wore the Blaok cockade, Here was an episode not in the military programme. Nathan l'almer, esq., was the Judge Advocate. The "Capousu Boys" were on hand in full force, while the tri-cockade men seemed to be in the vocative. Col. F,, was disposed to dissolve the court, but I the Judge Advocate told him that he ' could not do it without his consent. Uloomsburg ]Dttnville  6.14 6.48 |lOi. 9 4G 9 00 10 9 40 ALEX. JAMIKSON. B. F.

The expression is not originally a profane one, though its general use is meant to be a species of *kusiln'. A tinker's dam is simply an inclosure made, with bread usually around a hole to be mended through a tin vessel that the melted solder may be retained until it cools about the bread. After being subjected to this process the bread is burned and spoiled, and It is a fitting type of utter worthlessnes—hence the expression, not worth a tinker's dam.'
