Publishers Risbts.—The following from th* Luzerne Union we commend to tbe attention of a few of the readers of tbe Gazette: Occasionally we receive a notice from a distant subscriber tbat he wishes bis paper discontinued, and in such case almost without exception, tbe party tbus notifying us ii found to be from one to three yean in arrears. Now, for tbe benefit of those who have thus played the scalawag towards us, as well as for the guidance of newspaper readers in general, we deem it seasonable reading to lay before the public a phrase in the law govering the contract between subscribers and publishers. It is to tbe effect that "A person ordering his paperto be discontinued must pay up all arrearages, or the publisher may continue to send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount, whether it is taken out of the office or not." Those of our subscribers who come under the head of delinquent will please bo governed by tbe above provision, and, when they notify us tbat tbey don't want our paper, not to neglect enclosing the money for what tbey Aarchad. By so doing they will spare our feeling in a great measure and ameliorate tbe pain of parting with them. They will also save themselves subsequent trouble and exposure, which may be a still more important consideration to them. Wo*k Stopped.—We learn from a correspondent that the work* at Newport, Luierne county, have been stopped for over a week, owing to a diflerence between thedrivers and theiremployers. It seems tbat the drivers expected oil and cetton free but when pay day came they found it charged against them. They immediately struck and the miners and laborers believing their cause a just one refused to work until it is remedied. We are informed tbat it would cost the company about ten cents a day per man to give these men what they want, or about $2 for tbe whole ef them. This seems a very little amount to occasion the stoppage of a large colliery.—Maxick Chunk Gazette. Eight uercaxtilb establishment* offiir to the surrounding country their various wares.

Scarlet Fever.—Tho following excellent advice in regard to the treatment of this dreaded disease we clip from The Day, and we would urge its adoption by families afflicted with this prevalent scourge. It is a dangerous disorder when.not promptly taken in hand. It begins with languor and loss of appetite, followed by fever and sore throat, and then the "red patches" on the cheeks appear. When the symptoms are first observed, place the child in bed in a room whieh is warm but well ventilated. Administer warm weak lemonade with a little gum arabic dissolved is il. Cover the abdomen with dry warm flannels then take a neatly folded bed sheet and place it in boiling hot water, wring it out by means of dry towels, and place it over the flannel on the child's abdomen. This most be repeated until perspiration is observed, which Will not result for seme minutes, when tbe patte»t will drop into a quiet slumber, and with careful nursing is saved. All of this maybe done bef re a physician can be sammoned, and will prove a great auxiliary to his course of treatment—in many cases It will enable him to aave the life of a dear child and prevent the disorders which almost always follows this dreadful complaint, when it is not promptly assailed by this simple preliminary home treatment.

CHEMIST AND DRUOOIST, Editor op Gazette : I have dated you numerous letters at this place, but having always written them out in tbe woods, it has never, until now, seemed to come in play to write you a description o( this little hamlet. It is situate in Salt Lick creek valley, on the D. L. k W. KB., 21 miles south of Binghamton, 40 miles north of 8cranton, and nine miles (by stage) from Montrose, the Co. seat of this (Susquehanna) county. The valley here is a bout a fourth of a mile wide, running north and south, and shut out from the cold blasts of winter by high Kills on the west and mountains on tbe east, while gentle breeses north and south through the valley in the summer cleanse* and purifies the atmosphere, and makes this really a pleasant summer resort for those who enjoy a quiet resting place away from the plodding cares of city, money-making strifes ; while for active sports and recreation, a Pickerel Lake in a bowl on every hill, and Trout in the bubbling streams of the ravines and valleys, make up a "bill of fare" that might tempt even an anchorite or misanthrope to forget, for a season, their contempt or hatred of mankind, and here partake of the rich bounties God in his infinite wisdom has placed at the disposal of His children.I in not how your prom is# can be made good. I had fully resolved, until yesterday, to let you get out of the dilemma your own way, but "Tom" has overhauled me, and how can we refuse him anything ?

A Picture or Editoral Life.—Captain Marryett evinced a proper appreciation of editorial life when he wrote—"It is not the writing of the leading article itself, but tbe obligation to write that article whether inclined or not, in sickness or in health, in affliction, distress of mind, with care, winter and summer, year after year, tied down to the desk, remaining in one spot. It is like walking a thousand miles in a thousand hours. I have a fellow feeling for I know bow a periodical will wear down the existence. In itself, it appears nothing, the labor is not manifest, it is the attention it requires. Your life becomes as it were a publication. One day's paper is no sooner corrected and printed then on comes another. It is tbe stone of Byisiphns, an endless repetition of toil, a constant weight upon the intellect and spirits, demanding all the exertion of your faculties, at tbe same time that you are compelled to do the severest drudgery. To writie lor a paper is very well, but to edit one is to condemn yourself to slavery. TWO GOftD HOTELS New York and Brooklyn have tooo sewing girls who are paid on an average &50 a week. Tbe population of the Borough is variously estimated at from a thousand to fifteen hundred. I think the first number the most correct as they register less than 150 voters. And yet, let a stranger walk through the town and note ita general appearance, its buildings, business places, stir on the streets and in the stores, at the Post Office, hotels and liveries, and the highest number would not overresch his estimate. The main street is a trifle over a mile in length, almost a dead level, and as straight as a "bee line." It is broad aad well worked, and good side-walks on both sides of tbe road. Good sized sugar-maple shade trees fence in the sidewalks, from north to south, on both sides of the street; and the Park, in front of the Graded School and the Congregational Church, with graded and graveled walks, is shaded in like manner. The architecture of tbe buildings and grounds displays a taste of refinement, modesty, neatness and comfort, without the least appearance on the part of one to ovor-reach, or over-match, or over-display his wealth or tastes against his neighbor. Pomposity seems not to be an element of society here. Every house has its neatly arranged and fenced door-yard, and every family seems to sit under its own vine and fruit tree, and every stranger is treated with m courtesy that evidently comes from Nature's fountain—the source of all enjoyment in this mundane sphere. When it is remembered that this was a wild, almost unpopulated region, (with the exception of the civilization brought into the location by the tannery of the Pratt Brothers,) prior to the piercing of its dense forests by the D. L. k W. RR., and that the whole township is a perfect bee-hive of industry, public opinion will properly award to tbat road its share of merit. Thore are three churches in the Boro'—Methodist, Episcoplian, and Congregational. An effort has been made to carry the latter over to the Presbyterian, but, the people ruling, the effort failed. The Methodist is tbe most youthful and the least aristocratic in wealth and numbers, and—the most wicked. They employ a pastor on a.salary of $300 and "two "donations" per year. I am credibly informed that only $180.00 of salary has yet made its appearance, and the two "donations" sum up only about $85.00 in books, cash, stockings, and "country produce." The pastor—Rev. J. R. Kellogg—is a young man, who has toiled up, through every impediment tbat can be conceived of, from poverty to the pastorate ; seeking nothing and asking nothing but the prosperity of the cause of his Master Divine. His pastorate sweeps over many miles of vale, and hill, and dell, and wood-land wild —three sermons per day on the Sabbath—miles apart, and "hoof" it at thst; for the income simply psys for frugal fare aDd thread-bare clothes. In nay simple opinion, if the Methodists do noi suffer at the "last, great day," for the starvation of their priesthood, then all other misers will escape. They seem to act as if they thought that, because a young man is zealous and faithful, therefore he may live on "faith alone!" '-Search the Scriptures," and see if the laborer be not worthy of his hire J If he has taken the sportsman's risk as to the two donations, in the name of the worldlings, let me hint te his parishioners, "pay what thou owest" him on contract, that his dreams may not be disturbed with tho ghostly shadows of board or other bills over-due. A zealous young man in a good cause, will eheerfully toil twenty, out of twenty-four hours, for the cause he has embraced ; but if you torment his other four hours with worldly anxieties on account of your penuriousnesB and neglect to "pay what thou owest" him. nothing but strength by a miracle from on high, will save him from a tall. in the borough and no restaurants, or eating or drinking 8aloons ; and from what I have noticed of tho habits of the people, the hotels are not likely to become very rich on the liquor trafic, nor do they seem to care for it.

PITTSTON,PA There were in Northern Pennsyl vania many men who looked forward, with longing ardor, to the hour when the Ccmmonwealth should see fit to undertske a tfystem of public improvement, but there were among them, here and there, a solitary one who was willing to step into the field, "take the bull by the horns," and risk bis little all of this world's geods on the dim chance of future profit. Of these few, the most active and prominent were Maurice WurU and Jo-iiaK White. White was a Quaker manufacturer, engaged in business near the mouth of the Schuylkill; Wurts, a gentleman of moderate meant, whose Interests lay in New York* To the noble zeal and undaanted fortitude of these two men, perhaps, does Northern Pennsylvania owe, more than to any two the' initial iteps which called here capital and skill, and cleared out the path for the subsequent triumphs of our Scrantons.our Parishes, our Mer curs, our Packers, our Pardees, and Smiths.

The Farxkr'i Wife.—Is there any position a mother can covet for her daughter more than to be a wife of a honest, Lappy farmer, in a country like this? To be the wife of one who is looked up to by the neighbors as one whose example may be safely followed—one whose farm is noted far and near as a model of neatness and perfection of cultivation ? To be the mistress of a mansion of her own, that may be the envy of every passer by because it is a neat and comfortable—a sweet and lovely cottage home? To be the angel that flits through the garden, bidding the flowers bloom, and twining roses and honeysuckles around (be bedroom,or sweetening their fragrance with her sweetest smiles; or spreading the snowy cloth beneath the oak at the door to welcome her husband as he rettD-ns from his toil; or tripping the cradle with her foot as she plies the dasher with one hand, or busily moves the needle, at the same time humming ajoyons song of praise that she is the happy and fondly beloved wife of an American farmer—one of the true noblemen of this free country—one that should by right rank as the pride and glory of America.— Rural American. Maurice Wurts came over among the mountains in 1319, and broughtwith him young James Archbald, as hi* right band man. The wolf was, at that time, bowling from erery hill-top, and the panther lurking in every thicket. The enterprise which these men had undertaken was one beside which the Darien Canal, in our day, sinks to insignificance. DeWitt Clinton was pushing his "big ditch" along the beautiful fiats of the Genesee and the Mohank ; hut what was that enterprise compared with the attempt to confine the waters of the Lackawaxen—carry them through the wild gorges of the Moosic mountains—over the deep Delaware, and thence to the Hudson. Suffice it to say this great work was accomplished, and then these indefatigable men turned bsck to the mountains, opened their mine, and built a Bail Road with twelve inclined planes, overcoming one thousand feet elevation, and delivering Lackawanna coal at New York.

Meantime, Josiah White, with Isaac A. Chapman as his Engineer, bad penetrated the wilderness of the Lehigh, built wing Jams upon that wild stream, taken down the first coal to Philadelphia «in 1820, surveyed and built the first Bail Road in the United States, and located the positional permanent works to be built, connecting the waters of the Susquehanna, by canal via. the Kescopec and Wrights Creeks, to the Lehigh. In company also with Bedmond Conyngham, Samuel Miffln,. Nathan Beach, Charles Miner, Jacob Cist and other prominent citizens of this section, Chapman had made a survey and location for an inclined plane Railway over tha Wilkes-Barre mountain, and a survey of the Susquehanna from Havre De Grace to Elmira, for slack wster navigation. Death removed Mr. Chapman from the scene of bit labors in 1827, and Mr. Archbald was left with hardly a competitor in Northern Pennsylvania. Those who would form a correct estimate of the achievements ot these early engineers, must remember that no grade over 35 feet to the mile bad yet been ascended without stationary power, and that men were yet bound with the idea that Friction was in no case an assistant, but always an obstscleJo locomotion. Engines of Forty Horse Power were considered monsters. The best engineers of Europe were attaching legs In locomotives to push them, like setting pole, from behind ; and twenty tons was looked upon as the utmost limit of tractive power ou a level.
