The appended correspondence exhibits at a glance what the Republican party has done towards paying off the State debt of Pennsylvania and relieving her citizens of taxation.— Four and a third million dollars, of debt absolutely liquidated and an annual reduction of taxation to the amount of one and a third million dollars, and all done during a period of war and the confusion and prostration which must be its natural consequence, is our glorious record. These are figures which every Union voter of Pennsylvania should have at command to offset the vague and noisy assertions of his Democratic neighbors. It is useless to argue with furious declamation against such frets. S. STARK, VV. ATTORNEY AT LAW, PEO. W. BRAINERD & CO., \JT GROCERS, 103 Murray, near .West Street, NEW YORK; (GEO. W.

Snyder kept a beer saloon some yean ago "over the Rhine." Snyder waB a ponderous Teuton of very irascible temper—sudden and quick in quarrel—get mad in a minute. Nevertheless his saloon was a great resort for the boys—partly because of the excellence of his beer, and partly because they liked to chafe "old Snyder" as they called him ; for although his bark was terrific, experience had taught them that he wouldn't bite. In the village of W lived a man who had once been a judge of the county and well known all over it by the name of Judge L He kept a store and saw mill and was always sure to have the best of the bargain on his aide, by which he had gained an ample fortune; and some did not hesitate to call him the biggest rascal in the world. He was very conceited, withal, and used to brag of his business capacity, when any one was near to listen. One rainy day, as quite a number were seated around the stove, he began as usual to tell of his great bargains, and at last wound up with the expression: mark McDonnell Would respectfully E II I inform the public that Kll he has opened at his | new Boot and Shoe ma I . store, an entirely new «- And handsome variety Vl  LADIES'.

The next day one of the boys who was particularly fond of roasting old Snyder droped in to get a glass of beer, and dif covered Snyder's nose, which was a big one at any time, swollen and blistered by thrfsun, until it looked like a dead ripe tomato.

JAMES SEARLE, Mr. Perkins, not knowing what else to do, sat down to the melodeon and began to play and sing, "Come ye disconsolate." The effect was magical. The man was sufficiently calm for Mr. Van Meter to march him np and down the room, while Mar. Perkins continued to play and sing. From "Come ye disconsolate," he struck into "Jesus, to Thy dear arms I flee*" The effect was still marked. After singing that beautiful hymn, Mr, Perkins commenced "Flee as a bird to your mountain." As the strain of this exquisite composition filled the room, the maniac paused, sat down, covered his face with his hands, and sobbed like a child—or rather like a broken-hearted,remorseful man. By this time Mrs. Van Meter, who was present when the man first burst into the room, came in with a bowl of strong coffee which she had thoughtfully made, and as soon as the weeping stranger became sufficiently composed, she gave it to him.

Has for sale a large and splendid assortment of WATCHES, CLOCKS, JEWELRY, SPECTACLES, FANCY GOODS, POCKET CUTLERY, We come now to Daniel Webster, our foremost statesman, and so far as his tastes were concerned, our greatest angler. He began his career as a fisherman when only five years old with a pin hook,in a brook, and was on his way to a trout pond near Plymouth when he met the sad accident whieh undoubtedly hastened his death. When in the prime of life, he was an expert trout fisherman, but as time rolled on he became partial to the fishes and scenery of the sea, and never was he so happy as when fishing for cod or pollock in his yacht off the coast of Marshfield. He had a passion for every kind of fish, of fishing, and of fishermen; delighted in giving dinners to his angling friends; and he once said to his friend, William W. Leaton, that two of the most agreeable days of his life were those when he received from the writer a box of salmon from the coast of Labrador, and, on another occasion, a present of trout from the Upper Potomac, the secret of his enjoyment having been the fact that, on both occasions he was tied to the Department of State by his official duties, and the fish reminded him of their wild and lovely haunts, and helped him to gratify his friends. To his mind, a pure running stream and a deep, tranquil lake were among the most poetical objects in nature, and when in the presence of either he seemed to forget the great world of trouble and care, and to be especially thankful for the gift Three bright particular mornings, whieh the present writer wss permitted to spend in his society, can never be forgotten; the first was occupied in taking a drive along the lovely Merrimac, when he explained the why and wherefore of the apparently wayward movements of the salmon in Lake Winnipiseogee in the olden times; the second was devoted to a long, quiet sail in his yacht Fleetwing, off the ooast of Marshfield, with Captain Seth Peterson in command, when he went fully into history of the sea-serpent fantasy, and the last of those famous mornings was when he captured a mammoth baas at the little Falls of the Potomac, and uttered a triumphant shout, long, and clear, which, had the breese been favorable, might almost have awakened the sleeping Congressmen in the city of Washington. But alas! long before the ensuing nunmer he was at rest, and forever on the pleasant hill whieh overlooks the hofne of his old age and the wide blue sea."— The Galaxy.

The people of Pennsylvania owe to the enlarged statesmanship of Thaddeus Stevens the initiation of the system of public improvements which hss since developed the vast resources of the State, and rendered its prosperity the subject of wonder and admiration.

All efforts to ascertain who he was proved fruitless. He persistently refused to give his name, or to furnish any clue to his residence or identity. Mr. Perkins accompanied him to the St. Nicholas hotel, where he took a room under an assumed name. But in his conversation he had chanced to mention a clergyman living in Newport, R. I., whom Mr. Van Meter knew.— The latter immediately wrote to the clergyman, stating the case, and asking him to come to the city. The clergyman came by the first boat, and was taken at once to the hotel, where they fortunately found the poor man. The clergyman knew him well. He was a rich resident of the city of Hartford, Connecticut, highly connected, a married man, and the father of several children. On coming into his patrimony, he fell to dissipation, and the result is indicated in the forgoing sketch. But his day of salvation had come. The clergyman took him back to Hartford.

Early in the morning Pat repaired to the scene of his labors, and horrible to tell, it had caved in and was nearly full. He gased with rueful visage upon the wreck, and thought of the additional labor the accident would cause him. After a moments reflection he looked earnestly around and saw no one was stirring, then quickly divesting himself of his hat and coat, he carefully hung them ontthe windlass, and speedily made tracks for a neighboring eminence which overlooked the village. Here, hid amid the undergrowth, he quietly awaited the progress of events. West Pittston, May 31,186t (Opposite Cooper's Hall,) "VfEW wagon shop. AMOS 8TROH MAIN STREET, PITTSTON, PA. PASSING AWAY.

Particular attention given to It is astonishing with what rapidity time passes away; how the days, the weeks, the months and the years roll round, carrying with them the life, the beauty and the hopes of this world into a vast and unknown future. It seems but a short time, indeed, since we all felt and enjoyed the springs and buoyancy of youth, and delights of home, the influence of paternal love, the society and counsel of friends, who now sleep in the grave; and yet some of ns are aged and the majority have attained to mature manhood. The yonng, of the present generation, are growing up around us, but in our youth we know them not. While we have been passing on, in the direction of the grave they have sprung up to occupy our places and follow rapidly in the rear. Before us we see the aged tottering along in their feebleness and leaning upon their staves, behind us is the youth flashed with promise and the infant prattling in its mother's arms. That circle has been kept up, unbroken, since the morning of the creation; that circle will be kept up, unbroken, until time is lost in eternity. Woman—The DirrsRsacE.—As the dove will clap its wings to its side and coyer and conceal the arrow that is preying on its vitals, so it ia the nature of woman to hide from the world the pangB of wounded affection. With her the desire of the heart has failed. The great charm of existence is at an end. She neglects all the cheerful exercises that gladden the spirits, quicken the pulse, and sends the tide of life in healthful currents through the veins. Her rest is broken, the sweet refreshment of sleep is poisoned by melancholy dreams, " dry sorrow drinks her blood," until her feeble frame sinks under the external assailant. Look for her after a little while, and you find friendship weeping oyer her untimely and wondering that one who but lately glowed with all the radiance of health and beauty, should now be brought down to "darkness and the worm." You will be told of some slight indisposition that laid her low, but no one knows the mental malady that previously sapped her strength, and made her so easy a prey to the spoiler.

Several were attracted to the well, thinking that as Pat's hat and coat was there, he was below, of course at work. Soon the alarm was raised that the well had caved in and that Pat was in it. A crowd collected and stood horrified at the fate of poor Pat. A brief consultation was held, and soon spades and other implements were brought to dig out the remains of the unfortunate man. To work they went with a will; when one set became wearied with the unusual Ubor, a dosen readj hands grasped the implements and dug lustily. Pat quietly looked on from his retreat en the eminence, while the whole village stood around the well, and watched with breathless suspense the work go bravely on. BRANDENBURG'S BAKERY.

McKOWN, Silver Plater, would respectfully announce to the inhabitants of Pittston and vicinity that he hag made a specialty of Heavy Plating for several years. Heavy Plated-ware i» made cheaper in proportion to the amount of silver used than light plated-ware, it will therefore be found more economical in use. In my judgment spoons and forks should not be plated less than 16 os. plate, yet 4 oz. plate is almost universally called a good plate by the trade, and, poor as it is, but a small proportion of the Goods now sold are as good as i ox. plate. The poorest goods made are lottery and auction goods, spoons and forks, which are generally brass whitened with Bilver. The term ounce plate. In plater's phraseology, means the number of ounces of silver to the gross of Table spoons, and all other surfaces are estimated from Table spoons. For example: 16 os. plate is 16 oz. to the gross of Table spoons, 18 os. to the gross of Desert spoons, and 8 oz. to the gross of Tea spoons. I have hitherto made 16,36, and 48 os. plate for A. W. McKown's trade, and who up to this date is the only party that sells Ware plated so heavy in this country. 36 oi. is the lightest plate that a name, or the initials, can be engraved in and not cut into the metal, under the plate, with the silver deposited as it should be. I will plate to order with 4,8,16,36. and 48 oz. plate — All Spoons, Forks, Ao.,plated by me and stamped with my name, and figures denoting the oz. plate, will be plated strictly by weight, and guaranteed first quality of metal, a sample of which, plated and unplated, will be left with the agent. Old spoons and forks, castors, cake baskets, tea setts, Ac., le-plated any thickness required. Old brass spoons and forks are not worth re-plating. All Goods will bo sold for Cash, on the one price system, and as low as can be afforded and thegoods made honestly.

HEAVY AND LIGHT WAGONS, Our life is a moving panorama—the pictures on the canvass pass before our eyes, delighting us for a moment, but each oontaining a solemn lesson and warning. He is but an indifferent observer who does not study himself. There is the ocoan, the lake, the river, the mountain and the vale; the one swells in its majestic grandeur and murmers its defiant tones, which aro heard upon either shore; the other rests like a calm mirror reflecting the light of tho millions of stars that sparkle in the blue conclave ; the river dashes'on its way to the sea 5 the mountain lifts its head among the clouds and oasts its frowning shadows into the vale below; the valo echoes to the songs of its birds, the hum of human voices, the lowing of herds ; while here and there is the busy town, with its active life, its ceaseless commotions, its impetuous struggle, its attractive home, and the spires of its churches pointing towards Heaven. The bell rings and the picture passes away from our sight to be seen no more. Thus it iB with human life. It is an association of objects, interests, attractions and beauties, which burst upon our sight, perform their mission and accomplish 1 their purposes, and then lost to sight. The bell tolls, the canvas moves, the lights are put out, the vision is lost in darkness ; silence reigns, the curtain drops, and all is ended in the sleep, the forgetfulncss and the insensibility of the grave.

Ou the evening proceeding the morning she was to leave port, he was induced by one of the owners to visit his house where there was to be a party of ladies, some of whom were to be his passengers to New Orleans. The captain felt a little queer about going; he was more at home on the hurricane deck, or the social hall of his boat, than in the drawing-room among ladies.
