CUTLERS Pittston, April Agent for Luzerne Co., P The young girl trips gaily up to her chamber, and, with the cautious timidity peculiar to her 9ex, first locks the door and arranges the window curtains, eo that by no chance a passer by ( or a belated noctural wanderer from the pavement can catch a glimpse of her beauty when en-dixhabille. This task completed, she turns CDn the gas to its full, and institutes a general search throughout the apartment that 9he may be sure it does not contain a horrible " bugbear,'' or a " desperate ruflian," in big whiskers and crisp black hair. Carefully, with her delicate little fingers, she lifts the bed valance, peers into places where even Tom Thumb could not squeeze his diminutive corporation, and takes a cursory peep into the hall emptied trunk, not forgetting to glsnco nervously under the sofa, the space between which and the floor is not sufficient to contain the ghost of Calvin Edson, much less an ordinary robber. Having ascertained that she is really alune, she leisurely proceeds to divest her fair form of the silk and liuen conventionalities of society. First, she relieves her glossy hair of the pins and combs which enthrall it, and " docs it np" more compactly. Then off comcs the little collar and the little vapory cloud of lace she called undorsleeves, which all the day have been clasped around her white plump arms, by * couple of Iudia rubber straps. Next the love of a spring silk dress is unfast. cued in front. The sundry waist strings and button straps are loosed, and lo! what a collapse like Lowe's big baloon. She stands like Saturn, the centre of the rings. "There they lie on the soft carpet, partly covered by the linea underfixings, with no more expression in them than there is in the floor beneath the carpet. She sits now on the side of the snowy bed, and begins the unlacing of gaiters, and the disrobing of those fair swelling limbs of their stockings- The pretty little foot is carefully perched upon the knee—down drops the gaiter, off drops the elastic, and her thumb inserted in the top of her stockings pushes it down—down over the heel,and the cotton rests beside the prunella. So with the other foot, only involving a change of position. There is a smile that peeps out behind the blushes of he sweet face, now, as standing before the glass, she places on her the night cap, and with the twist of her finger ties tbo bewitching bow. Then the nightgown is thrown over the frilled chemise, concealing tne heaving bosom and the shoulders in the liuen folds. Then the counterpane and sheets are turned back, snd the gas is turned down  very, very low—and the little form presses the yielding cou~h, und the angel goes off into the world of dreams. Now, in the room directly above her, is tho great brute of a brother. He comes into it, shuts the door with a slam, turns the key with a snap, growls at a chair which happens to be in the way, pulls of his boots and throws them in a corner, jerks his socks from his feet, drops his pants on the floor anu lets them lie there, gels off his vest and coat by a quick, vindictive move of the arms and body, unpiusand unbuttons his collar, throws it carelessly at, rather than on the tabla ; travels to tho window in bis shirt extremity to let down the curtain, as it he didn't care a cuss whether tho population of the neighborhood beheld his anatomy or not; then puts out the light then bounces into bed like a great calf jumping into a pile of hay—curls himself up, his knees nearly touching his nose, lies a moment or two, turns on his back, stretches bis limbs out, swears at the tuckfbg in of the bed clothes, grunts, gets over on the other side, and is— asleep.

EVANS' Boot and Shoe Establishment We learn Irom the Ironmonger, that a well attended meeting convened b; the "Trades of Great Britain Defense Association"—a body which, it was stated, was inaugurated by the masters and journeymen lath renders ol Londou at a meeting in May last—was recently held at the Shoreditch Town llall, "to take into consideration the present critical state ot the country, tho depression of trade, and the general want of employment, consequent on the general importation of foreign and manufactured goods, and to petition Parliament for a commission of inquiry as to the working of our commercial policy." The following resolution was moved by Mr. S. Bartlett: "That the principle of free trade should be based upon an equality of international exchanges; but other nations not having adopted the principle, it has become injurious to England, and is tho causo of the present depression of trade, the want of employ ment and the increase of pauperism. This meeting, therefore, considers it their duty to the Government to institute an immediate inquiry into the working of our commercial policy,with the view of ascertaining how far this unreciprocated tree trade contributes towards producing this depression, want of employment, an J pauperism, and to what extent it may be limited, so as to produce an effectual remedy." The mover said the subject of the meeting wus not to protest against (ree trade per »e but against the manner in which the policy inaugurated by the Manchester school of economists had effected the manufacturing and industrial interests of the country. The free trade policy of England was not reciprocate! by other countries, and no .more striking proof of this could be founu, than the fact that, according to tho Board ol Trude returns, the imports of tbKe country exceeded the exports in valne by £67,000,000. Mr. Cob- and his co-laborers promised the workingmen increased wages and a reduction in tho cost of provisions, but what was the result? Industry after industry was being annihilated, and emigration was the only panacea suggested. There was a grievous error at the bottom of this state of things, &nd he. hoped the working classes would unite as one man in the request to the Goverment to inquire how far our so-called free trade policy had produced the present depression in trade, and the consequent pauperism and want of employment. Mr. Sangester, in seconding the resolution,asserted that we lost immensely by the French treaty, which he said was of a protectionist character, aud ignored the free trade principle as fir as England was concerned, and if it was not put an end to, would cause the ruin of English commerce and industry. English exports were heavily taxed by every nation, and it was time that something should be done to insure fair play, else foreign manufacture would inundate cur market, and the representatives of our manufacture* would become the hewers of wood and the drawers of waters of Europe. Mr. Brooks in an animated speech, attributed the increase of pauperism and its accompanying ills to our commercial policy, aud denounced the notion that nothing but emigration could improve the cou; dition of the working ]Coupulatijn. The resolution was unanimously adopted ; and a petition to Parliament, embodying the views of the speakers having beeu adopted, the proceedings terminated. A few nights since, says an exchange, i. youg male friend of ours, who from a sueering sceptic had become a devout believer, retired to rest, after having his nervous system partially destroyed by the information, through the spir it of his grand-father, that he would soon be come a powerful medium.

PITTSTON BREWERY, PITTSTON, PA. "The history of these formations was most interesting. Their age must be very great, as they have never been found with any traccs of human remains. The principal animal forms were of a much lower type, consisting of snails,' fish, reptiles and insects. The impression they have left, and the skeletons of them which remain, show that they were of a similar character to what are now knowu as 'horsetails' pines, resembling the Arancaria of gardens, ferns, club mosses and a sort of palin. These were all of great size, the ferns branching to a bight of 50 feet; and the club mosses, now insignificant, were then 60 or 70 feet high. Taking into consideration the gigantic dimensions of the different plants, and the branched character of the ferns—such as only grow in hot climates— led them to conclude that England must atone time have had a tropical climute. A period whenauch rapidly growing and enormous plants of unlimited numbers existed, is thus seen to have been highly favorable to the formation of those immense of vegetable matter— which may have been like peat beds, or carried ou by river currents to their preseut beds— formijg coal. There was nodoubt but that coal was changed wood, such chango being due to moisture, heat and pressure. They might look upon wood as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.— As soon as a plant died :it began to decay, and then the three elements entered into new combinations to form compounds which d'd not exist in the original wood. One part of the carbon entered into combination with part of the oxygen to form carbonic acid; another part combined with some of the hydrogen to form carburated hydrogen or 'firci-damp while the remaining carbon, having no more oxygen hydrogen to combine with, remains and constitutes black coal. If there were enough oxygen and hydrogen in the wood to combine with all the carbon, probably it woild have been entirely removed by the same process, and there would have been no coal measures. Anthracite coal was that which had advanced furthest, and was most completely carbonized. They could easily understand after that liow it was that coal had been formed, and also how carbureted hydrogen the dangerous 'fire-damp,' was generated and confined injfissures in the coal, where there had been no outlet into the air. Fortunately it did not often appear amon£ them. Coal was found atalmostall elevation;, from 8,000 feet above the level of the sea, to 1,800 below it, as at White Haven, where it. addition to its depth, it is worked under the bed of the occan for nearly a mile. It is, therefore, nearly certain that there are ilnmense stores of coal existing at depths and in positions which render them inaccessible. Carbonic acid, known to the miners as choke damp, is produced when carbon is burned with a sufficient amount of air or oxygen."Are prepared to furnish their patrons with all thei^.

A Tocgh Stort.—There is a place in Maine, so rockey, tbat when the down-castcrs plaut corn, they look for crevices in the rocks, aud shoot the grains in with a musket; they can't raise ducks there no iiow, lor the stones are so thick that the ducks can't get their bills between them to pick grasshoppers, and the onlyway tbat the sheep can get at the sprigs of g rass is by grinding their noses on a griudstone. Bat that ain't a circumstance to a place on the eastern shore; there the land is so poor, that ou a clear day you can see the grasshoppers climb up a mullen stalk, and look with tears in their eyes over a fifty acre field ; aud the humble bees have to get down on their knees to get at the grass ; all the mosquitoes died of starvation,aud the turkey buzzards bad to emigrate. But there i3 a county in Virginia which can beat that; there the land is so sterile that when the wiud is in the northwest, they have to tie the children to keep them from being blown away ; there it takes six frogs to see a man, and when the dogs bark they have to lean against the fence; the horses are so thin that it takes twelve of them to make a shadow, and when they kill an ox they have to bold him up to knock him dowu !
