The New York and Northerner, the next largest boats, coat leaa and brought more than the Canada boats. The Peerless, an iron steamer, has been sold for government use. She is too long to get up the canals. The Comet, a British steamer, which has been in market, for a number of years, running here and there to annoy the regular lines, has gone to the bottom of the Lake, where she should have gone the day she'was launched, for she was always unfortunate. No side-wheel steamers have been built in four or five years, so what there ia now left will be likely to do a living business. There are but four Amorioan steamers on the Lake, and these are owned by one company. The Canadians have three times that number, but are mostly oraft small enough to run the St. Lawrence eanals.— I believe the Europa and Zimmerman are the only boats they have on Lake Ontario that are too long to pass the locks. The Bay State and Cataract, of the American Express Line, or Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrenoe, ar* now making tri.weekly trips between Ogdensburg and Toronto, calling at this port each way. These boats are doing a fair business in passengers, and have as much freight as they can oarry.— Going down thev take flour, Ac., from Toronto and this plaoe for the lower porta.— Going up they have merchandize for Toronto and the west. The Bay State went up last night with a heavy .load of freight and passengers. The weather has been delightful for a few days on the Lake, and also in port, but during the major part of the spring it has been very stormy and rough. The boats run in connection with the New York Central road to this point. They were rebuilt last season and are in excellent condition, and aa good as ever they were. The Ontario is now lying here and being thoroughly overhauled and will be ready in a few days to take her plaoe in the line, and then there will be a boat every day each way. Three steamers will then form the line and will be the best on Lake Ontario. The indications are favorable of their doing a good business. A. R.

In his boyhood days he had been a very hard worker, having been left at an early age an orphan, his own hands had kept him out of the poor house. He claimed to be the smartest boy in town, and every holiday he held himself in readiness to prove his claim, if any chose to dispute it; and year after year he stepped into the ring, wrestled with and threw every sturdy young fellow that dared show himself upon the village green. When be was twenty-one he married, much against her father's wish, pretty Ida Lee, the miller's daughter. A few days subsequent he received intelligence that he had fallen heir to an immense fortune from a distant connection in England, of whom he had never heard before.Wilson, Barnes Sl Co., wholesale grocers and The Want* of the People duly Coavidered!

Very many orchards are reasonably full of blossoms and give promise of bearing well. Apples will not be near as plenty as last fall, but still a good orop, judging from the blossoms. We are not free from accidents upon the Lake and Genesee River this spring, as you will sec by my letter. On the evening of the 14th of May, the steamer Comet left Kingston, C. W., for Toronto and when off nine mile Point collided with schooner Exchange from Chioago, and sunk in 40 feet of water. Two lives were lost. Loss 920,000—partially insured. Schooner little damaged. "Well, I am glad of it," said the best nan in the country, "and as yon may as cell commence first as last, you shall ride rith us to-night. Ida goes with us, and rou shall ride Black Dick—he is the fastist runner in the stable, your horse must De very tired." Away they went, four miles out and reurn, and Whipple in the saddle of the lardest horse he had ever mounted. He ras not fond of horsebaok riding- at best, ind when he threw himself from the back if Black Dick, who had neither cantered tor trotted a single step sinoe he left the loor, the young man was almost inclined to give up training where he was; but as he wsistea Ida from her saddle, and waited on ber into the house, he concluded to remain i few days longer and retired to his room, ieoided not to ride black Dick again in a burry. The next morning he was awakened by a terrible pounding on his chamber door, accompanied with explicit commands to get up and dress for there was a fox. As Albert did not understand a word that was said, but only had a confused idea that he was wanted for something, he dressed himself hurriedly and went below, where he saw tbe farmer and his servants leading out and saddling horses. "Come lad," said Mr. Newell, "hurry up; he can't hare mote than two or three miles the start of us." Mr. Newell stood for a moment contemplating the matter, It whs very evident that he had caught a tartar: so he pat as good a face on the matter as possible, and rang the bell, saying, "If Ida is willing, I shall not object, of course. Are you willing to marry this rattle head ?" asked the ' eccentrio farmer, as his daughter came into the room. Plttston, Juno 14,1860. DICKSON A.

HARDWARE, CUTLERY AND GUNS, ALSO, SOLE AGENTS FOR BROWN & SPRAGUE'S CELEBRATED Scranton, Feb'y 2, 1869.—tf The fortune did not change William, although it did every one else in the village, and people began to call him Mr. Newell, or Squire Newoll, and ho threatened to whip any one within an inch of their lives who would call him anything but plain Bill Newell. He bought the large farm formerly owned by Squire Flanders, where he had gathered the finest stock of blood horses and dogs in the country, and the farm of Bill Newell was celebrated for miles around as the best place in the world for fun on a holiday. There was a constant routine of foot laces, horse races, cricket and base ball matches, pitohing quoits, and throwing weights, sparring ana fencing, leaping and jumping, boat racing and wrestling, and in fact, all manner of rugged manly sport. One daughter blessed the marriage of William Newell and Ida Lee—a charming girl, with all her mother's beauty and her father's robust health. As young Ida pew, she made an honorary member of all the boating, cricket, and base ball clubs about the country; and at the age of fifteen she could sit a horse, handle an oar, or fire a pistol with many an older and more experienced head, and half the young fellows in the country round about bad fancied themselves in love witfc the young and pretty Ida; but their ardor was generally cooled by the bold assertion of Newell that the man who would marry his daughter must first out ride him, out jump him, out run him, whip him with the foils and the gloves, and beat him with quoits and cricket baf. In vain Mrs. Newell called her husband's decision absurd and foolish, and tried to laugh him out of it, and 'the hand of his daughter remained unsought During the summer succeeding Ida's eighteenth birth day, her mother deoided that she should go into society; that she should see something of the world beyond the Newell farm; and to this end a trip was arranged to Niagara and Saratoga.— Mr. Newell raised no objections, and the projected tour was carried into effeot. At the Falls, Mrs. and Miss made the acquaintance of a young gentleman from New York. Albert Whipple, a young man of good family, fortune and eduoation. Whipple followed the Newells to the Springs, and his acquaintance ripened into intimacy, and in due time he proposed for the hand of Ida. Mrs. Newell told him candidly of her husband's peculiarities; she favored his suit, thought him a oapital match, would be pleased to welcome him to the farm, but she warned him of what he might expeot from Mr. Newell. Nothing daunted, young Whipple returned to the farm with the ladies, and was introduced to Mr. Newell, who looked at him attentively from bead to foot, and muttered:PRACTICAL WATCHMAKERS NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA t MANUFACTURER 8.

His name was Joshua Eaton and well known to "some of the readers of the Gazette. He is now doing well. On the afternoon of the 15th the body of a boy named Daniel Burke was found floating, a few rods from the shore, in the Genesee river, below where I am now writing this. He was last seen alive, playing on the deck of the schooner Charlotte, about 11 o'clock in the forenoon. It was supposed that he was fishing in a boat and the boat capsized, as there was found an empty boat floating on the opposite shore. i'he government has been purchasing steamers on Lake Ontario for military parposes, and have bought the well known steamers New York, Northerner and Peerless.

She will be piloted by Capt. Rankin, of Ogdensburg, who took down the Canada and America safely some years since, and will leave Ogdensburg within one week. Capt. Rankin is now taking his observations of the channel and rapids preparatory to the somewhat risky job. Sinoe writing the above I learn that the steamer New York was taken from Ogdensburg to Montreal on Tuesday last, running safely over all the rapids. The Northerner is expected to follow her very soon, and both will undergo certain alterations at Quebeo, which will fit them for ocean navigation, and they will then be taken to New York for use of the government, "or any other man," who may want them.— They have not been sola tb the United but to a party who expeots to make sale for them as soon as he gets them to mar. k«t.

EZRA D. HEARTWELL, Pres. GEO. FAIRCHIM), Sec'y. CARPENTER & BROTHER, The selection of fingers for the ring ia by no means an indifferent matter; it forma a course of study. The index or first finger next the thumb, is the majestio; it ia that which the Hebrews call the finger of God, and is universally the indicative sign.A It figures in advertising columns, on signposts it is delineated issuing from a clenched fist, to point out the road to follow; and the lover places it on his lips to command silence and circumspection. The gods of antiquity wore the ring of authority aa their imposing phalanx, and evidence of their omnipotence. This example is still imitated by the pope, cardinals, bishops, and others of dubious elegance. The second finger from the thumb is the drummajor of the hand, and, like children of a, commanding height, it seems aa if its body had grown at the expense of ita mind.— Under officers of the line, superior oooks, who have had their affections, and wrestlers, to whom physical development is an accomplishment, wear the ring on this finger. The favorite and popular finger has been at all times the third from the thumb, and the origin of this ia so curious that we must not pass it over in silence- It is maintained that an artery leads thence directly to the heart, and it ia by right of this relation that marriage ringB are placed on it. Old apothecaries used to mix their prescriptions in presence of the olient with this privileged finger, to indieate that no hurtful substance was present. The thumb had ita day of glory, when it waa ordered to open the touoh pan, or take the cartridge by the aid of the firat finger. Formerly, aoldiera and phyaiciana wore their ringa upon their thumb. It waa thought that thia, ring, which waa usually large, oontained suitable cordials to disinfeot a siok room or re-animate a wounded warrior. V. PitUton, Pa. Jl. & A. PETERSEN, Scrauton, Pa. C.

Hardly knowing what he did, the young man mounted the horse nearest him, and in a moment after the party rode briskly off. The horse was a better hunter than the rider, and in spite of all he could do, Albert kept a good position in the chase. Two houra riding brought them in sight of the does, and a follow of another hour drove the fox to his hole. By this time Albert had become so exoited in the affair that he was the first one to spring from his horse and begin to dig out bis prey. From this day he took hold of the sport, aa though he liked it To be sure there were times when he felt a little squeamish in the matter—when he put on the gloves with one who would knock hiA out of all kind of time, or bring the claret too freely, but he took hold of the matter in good earnest, and in a few weeks he was by no means a poor competitor. All summer long Albert devoted his time to training, and in the fall he could show aa good work as the best of them. In the closing orioket match of the season, being married verms single, his bowling and batting soored better than Newell's—be could ride or row with any man in the country— he could oover half a dime at twenty yarda every time; there waa not his match St single sticks or broad swords among his acquaintance, and there were but few of the gentlemen who mot at the farm could be induced to put on the gloves with him.— Yet Mr. N. would aHfays svade the subjeot of matrimony when it was introduced, and tell Albert to wait a few that every thing would be fixed all right in a short time, until the young man had grown tired of that'story.
