She proved to be a slay-sail schooner from the Penobscot bound to Charleston, S. C. Well, my story now draws to a close, 'twas the last we ever saw ol the brig. We arrived saf'o at Ctyylesloo in five or six days. 1 forget the* name of boili the vessel and the captain that picked us up, but they both belong somo. where down east." " But what became of vour captain?" I asked. "He sent immediately to Poriland lor his wife to come and attend him ; but he was well taken care of as soon as we arrived, as ho had friends t'/iprc.

Such was Bob's story of shipwreck and which 1 have no doubt is true. pries, in preference to any other hinds ol coal for domestic purposes. Two thousand pounds ot Red Ash coal from the Schuylkill Region has been conclusively proved, to be equal to two thousand three hundred and eighty-seven pounds of the best White Ash cqal for stoves and grates, as it emits caloric in tho proportion, of one to one nnd a quarter nearly ; therefore Red Ash coal nt #5,50 p6rton, is cheaper (or such purposes, than White Ash at ©4,00 ; and wo cannot readily admit that the Wyoming Bottom Red Aidi coal, is in any manner superior for domestic purposes, to the excellent While Ash of the same Fifteen and a half yards top sla'.e, 18 inches bone Coal, from 2 to 3 feet mixed Coal, 1 foot bone, 4 inches slate (roof,) ft to 6 feet good Coal, 1/ foot bone, 5 feet good Coal, and 18 inches mixed Coal which is,left in the mines. $ittstoit 6it}ctte, Hats for tho People.

There was also a very heavy " sea on," striking us nearly broadsides. The wind and sea both increasing, the order was given to shorten sail, when the watch camo on deck at eight o'clock. I forgot lo men lion that this *as the latter part of the month of October, consequently the nights were getting long and quite cool, therefore at eight o'clock it had been dark for some time. We were shortening sail, had got the fore—'op-sail double reefed, the main-top-suil reef tackles -were hauled out. and were going aloft lo reef it, when by some mentis or oilier, the !ee lift bccame unhooked, and of course no one would venture on the void while in that predicament. ■So another mart mid myself remained aloft trying In get it hooked again, while the remainder went on deck to pump her out, as she leaked raiher badly. They had been on (feck but a lew moments when she made one fearful plunge and was, as it were,completely hurried under the water. I gazed below, and Larry, my eves grew dim—could it be possible ?—as she came up there was ihe whole cabin—which was a house built on deck—lifted up,  wiih the next roll of the vessel, was swept overboard. Such feelings as 1 then possessed cannot be described. I at first tho't that the deck had been totally swept, but on arriving there I found she was indeed a perfect wreck, but not ns bad as I hud at first conjectured. We found 'lie oniy one missing was the steward, who had "turned in" (in the cabin) only about half an hour previous, li is not my. principle, nor do f like lo say evil of any man af'cr he has departed this transitory life, but ihere is an incident connected with the above siewurd thai led many to believe (ha! our being wrecked was a judgment sent upon him ; but ho that fx it may. mv relating ii may perhaps have a tendency 10 warn others from being too bold in bins phemy. It appears thai the same day, previous lo our disaster, some of the crew were in the galley with the steward (the galley is a small hou»e on dcck in which !.tw cooking is done), when one of them asked him what he would do if the gallej should be swept overboard wiih him in it. " Why," bis reply was, " I should be Caplain of her going doten lo hell ! Poor fellow .' ijiat same night he was swept overboard with tho cabin. But [ will return to my story. The sea had taken one of the hatches off, thereby Idling a great quantity of water in the hold—hod stove away the bulwarks and part of the sian. oheons, causing her to leak very badly, Dnd wilhal nearly all the provisions were in the cabin, which were also lost, together with all the Captain and male's naulical instruments, charis, clothing 8c., yet, not. withstanding all, we were very lucky, and 11 was even nlqiost miraculous in not losing more of our number overboard. \ certain ly thought the owner's son, Henry, was gone, lie being asleep in ihe cabin as 1 supposed ; but very fortunately tho Captain had awnkened him about ten minutes previous io assist in pumping the vessel. Had not '.lie Captain sent his son home as he did, be evidently would have gone also with the sleward, as he would have been asleep in the cabin at the lime of tho disaster ; so it mignt be considered a Godsend thai ho was awav. But the only one mtt'erially injured aboard was our good captain. 1 have often wondered since then how one could suffer as he did, and yet be so resigned. The'sea had by its force and tho manner in which it fame broken both his legs and otherwise injured him inlernally, yet he bore it with christian fortitude, chepring and encouraging us. I tell you Lorry, thai man was a christian if ever there was one. Well, we got him down in what is called the hall-deck, and did all we could for him, which was bul lillle as we had lo Ije at the pumps contin .utilly in order lo keep her from sinking. We had also lo keep her before ihe wind, fearful if we did not she might ship another sea and go down.

For light blacksmith work it has no superior in the woitd—being much cheaper because it burns longer, and what is singular, it adds to the weight of manufactured iron.

SCR A NTO N H O USE, We do not suppose that the Wyoming Rod Ash coal contains more silex or ashes than other coals, or that it leaves more wasto when properly consumed. It requires a strrmaer draught from the upper Red or even White Ash coal for consumption in open grates or family stovea. In this respect it is much like the lower veins in the Beaver Meadow, Rucks Mountain and Schiivlkill county. Scranton, Pa. KRES8LKR', Proprietor R 0 8 E R T B A U R, O. K localities •(.

But there are only three collieries in aciive operation on the lower or Red Ash vein, worked at Nanticoke below Plymouth ; or in fact, in ihe Wyoming Valley, though there are others, both old and new open, ings, which are either abandoned for the present or not yet in operation. If the other veins now being worked at Plymouth and oilier places up ihe valley, are the bottom veins, including what is callcd the Red Ash Veia,at Nanlieoke, ns somo suppose, (!) then ttot.brightest dream of many a Wyoming land ownerwil! never bo realized ; for if such were the case, the compuled quantity of Coal in the region wo'd be reduced nearly one half. We do not know of any cool equal lor culinary purposes, to the Schuylkill or Shainokin Red Ash ; though ibe " poor man's coal " in lite Hazleton and Beaver Meadow Basins being lljliler than our White Ash, answers very well.

They were nearly nil I hud, and hnd been stolen ; but I had a " shot in the locker" left vett in Iho shape of a few dollars, and I determined to go down to Portland, where I wns rather belter acquainted, and ship out of there. So I immediately settled with my boarding'master and staited thither in the steamer, where 1 snlely arrived. 1 soon found there was a full ringed brig there wanting a crew, so I at once took the chance ami went immediately aboard. I foili;d her 10 be rather a hard looking old tub of about two hundred tons, and belong ing to Portland.

Indeed, the geological formation ol thfl three coal fields are so similar that we ar» inclined to think, that the veins worked, in the three regions may be identified with each other. Thus, the Mammoth or Daniel Vein of Schuylkill oounty, is generally believed to bo the same asthe Lancaster \oin of'Shamokin. and the Baltimore, or No. 4 Vein of the Wyoming Valley ; and there is everv reason to believe, that they are the formations of the same era, lor this vein differs as much in the various localities, where it is worked in the same region, ana no more, than it does in the three Anthrax cite coal fields where it is invariably found. It is worked with more profit, and cotisequcntly, in preference to any others, except'ng the Wyoming bottom Red Ash Vein, which we think may be one of those worked at Brockville and other places in hDD Schuylkill Region.
