STOVES, TIN-WARE, ETC. A UGCST VOIGT, DEAIXB IN the back of my neck. I struggled, but in vain. It was no use. I was wedged in like some poor victim in a torture-machine of the Inquisition. " Pump, pump," went the bellows handle; down came the blood from innumerable punctures in the back of my neck. My agony was intense. My face was literally jammed between the "everrising bellows below and those hideous spikes above. I dare not cry out; for was not the Dtan in the finest passage of his peroration? In the midst of my agony I heard a sound, and felt a movement in the mechanism near me. It was the organist pulling out the great organ stops. At the same instant my eyes caught sight of the " pull-downs" leading from the great organ wind-chest. Some little demon whispered in my ear ; and in a moment I saw my only hope of release from the intense and increasing agony I was suffering. I must open the nearest pipes, and thus release the accumulating wind. 1 knew, of course, the uproar I should cau«e, and f still heard the interminable Dean at his interminable sermon. But I could not help it. With on« hand I grasped about eight of the bass " pull downs," aud with the other hand I laid hold of the nearest pedal-trackers. A roar of the most awful character ensued: it was as though filty healthy bulls and five active volcanoes had burst into the chapel. The Dean's sermon was effectually quenched. One of his finest periods was brought to an unexpected full-stop. The unfortunate organist bounded off his stool, and swore audibly. The bellowsblower rushed off, thinking, no doubt, the devil was inside the organ. But, oh joy 1 the bellows sank, and in a fainting state I olamlnred over the top. stumbled out through the little side door, and fell into the arms of two Senior Fellows who had hastened up to the scene of the disaster. The commotion among the gownsman in the chapel, I was afterwards told, beggared description. Laughter, horror, exclama tions of surprise and indignation, wefe all to the front by turns. The blessing was pronounced amidst the greatest confusion; and altogether the scene was such as those stared walls had never witnessed before. DRUCS AND MEDICINES. BANKING. WATCHES and JEWELRY. On the Plea of Insanity. meddle with and injure so noble and val-, uable an instrument." What 1o Eat. ri S. STARK. ATTORNEY AT LAW, TITTSTON, PKXK'A I I P I I I I  MINERS' C. W. FREE :an, Of fashions.—which forever rage 'Midst fallible humanity— The foremost fashion of the ago Appears to be insanity! Wht ne'er a crime committed is Uuusually had, Its anthor thus acquitted is : " Of course he must bo mad!" From that hour 1 knew there was to; be no more help to be obtained by me from " that noble and valuable," itc. 1 ' wes thrown on my own resources. My organ progressed but slowly; my work,; from being imitative became tentative; and oftentimes I fitted fifty dfferent pieces of wood in a given place before 1 got it right; Week after week I toiled away laboriously, with a patience worthy of a better cause. I chaffed a good deal at my constant obstacles, and twice did I attempt to make it up with the organist. But it was no use. This term in medicine, according to •omc comprehends the whole regimen of life, with regard to air, meat, drink, sleep, watching, motion rest, the passions, retentions and excretions. I restrict the term to eating and drinking alone. The natural constitution of the body of man is such, that it can easily bear some changes and irregularities without much injury. Had it been otherwise we should be almost constantly put out of order by very slight cause. This advantage comes from those wonderful communicafious of the inward parts, whereby when one part is aflectcd another comes immediately to its relief. Thus, when the body is too full, nature causes evacuation through some of the outlets ; and for this reason, diseases from absolute inanition are generally rao-e dangerous than from repletion, unless the latter be excessive; because we can more expeditiously diminish than increase the juices of the body. I'pon the same account though temperance be beneficial to all nun, the ancient phisicians advise persons in good health, now and then to eat and drink more abundantly than usual. But of the two, intemperance in drinking is safer than in eating. If a man be obliged to fast, he ought to avoid all laborious work. From satiety it is not proper to pass directly into sharp hunger, nor from hunger to satiety; neither will it be safe to indulge in absolute rest immediately after excessive labor, nor suddenly to Jail to hard work after long idleness. In a "word, all changes in the way of living should be made by degrees. The softer and milder kinds of aliment are proper for childien, and for youth the stronger. Old people ought 'to lesson the quantity of their food, and increase that of their drink; but some allowance is to be mado for custom, especially in cold climates like ours; for as in these the appetite is keener, so is the digestion better performed. Milk pottage ia far more wholesome than tea with bread and butter: and, if made after the following manner, is in many respects preferable to milk alone: Let equal quantities of milk and water be boiled up with a little oatmeal, which will break the viridity of the milk, and be at the same time more easily digested than the latter in an undiluted state. Besides catmeal is a much warmer nourishment than wheaten flour and agrees better with weak stomachs.BTOVi DEALER IN TIN-WAKE, WOODEN AND HOLLOW WARE, JAPAN WARE Ac.. 4c.

This portion of my organ was supplied by an organbuilder in London. The shop-work was also finished, and I was now engaged in putting on some composition-pedals. In this there were one or two intricacies which I could not solve, and I at Inst determined that I would attempt furtively to get into the chapel organ and examine the composition pedals there. But at this I was staegered by the difficulty of the project. To get the keys of the organ i was impossible. To force an entrance was, of course, out of the question. My only chance was to watch an opportunity when the organ should be left open, and the organist ab-ent. For this combination of circumstance® I watched and waited in vain for nearly three weeks. At last, one Sunday morning. I was late for chapel, and passing up the ante-chap -l [ found the choir-gates closed, and the service well advanced.

BOW I WAS RUSTICATED. GROCERIES, ETC. I always thought it a very hard case, but I could never bring my irate father and my weeping mother to view the matter in that light. T appeal to an impartial public. This is how it happened: Mv name was put on the boards of St. BlaiCus in Oetobor, 1^5—, and, after a most tender parting from my household gods in Warwickshire, I commenced residence in all the glory of a promising freshman. I do not know that I ever had Very sanguine hopes ot academic distinction, so 1 received the full blessing of expecting nothing, inasmuch as, in this respect, 1 met no disappointment. 1 had a hard battle with my revered father, end afterwards with tbe tutor of the college, to be allowed to rent an extra room in which I might carry on my favorite relaxation. This was the unusual pursuit of amateur orsan-building. My father said that the idea was preposterous and expensive. The tutor affirmed that such things mined a young man's prospect*, and made him idle. But, nevertheless, I carried the day through the intercession of my mother; and my carpenter's bench, with the appurtenances thereof, were duly accommodated in a small room opening out of my room, on staircase letter C. I was not long in maturing my plans for erecting a small chamber-organ of manuals, with all kinds of ingenious mechanical appliances in the way of stops and couplers. I was naturally both of a mechanical and musical turn of mind; ?o, by my favoiite pursuit, I gratified both sides of my disposition. I often tried to convince my father that it was a most economical step thus to kill two birds with one stone, but he could not see it. I explained how I might develope my mechanical talent by building an expensive steam-engine, and indulge my musical propensities by insisting on running up to London everv week to enjoy the opera or Philharmonic concerts.' I proved on paper that this method would consume more time and more money than a littk' quiet organ-building could ever ab-orb. But it was all no use. My father had not a logical mind, and he drove away conviction in a manner most irritating to a sound reasoner like myself. However, I had my own way at Cambridge, but under protest. /"I W.

This •' ciphering" I at once perceived was on the swell. In a second 1 beard a handful of swell-stops pushed hastily in, and the Psalms were fin'shed on the Great and Ch'.ir. When the Anthem began, the first few chords told me, plainly enough, that the swell was now a]l right—the ciphering had been ' cured. Now 1 knew that, in all probaliility, the organist must have got at the key- j action to effect this, and I also knew that, in that clumsily-arranged, instrument, he could not do this without going inside. : At once it struck me—had lie left the lit-1 tie side-door open 1 If he had, now was my opportunity. I slipped up the winding staircase, and crept cautiously along the j top of the screen till I hid myself behind | the organ. Unfortunately for me, the side- i door was near the bellows handle, and so j long as the man who blew sat near I could , do nothing. However, as this was a sermon Sunday, 1 had plenty of time; so I kept still in my hiding-place, ami bided my .time. Tbe bellows-blower might go to sleep, or he might leave the organ-loft for i a few minutes during the sermon. The Dean gave out his text, and commenced one of his dreary and lengthy compositions. I cannot say I was very attentive. I was too fully occupied in watching my man. Slowly and ponderously the learned Dean got through his introduction and the first of his three heads. Just as he proceeded with " Secondly,"' the bellowsblower, to my great joy, softly left the or- j I was politely conducted to my rooms. The next morning I appeared before the Master and Seniors, and, though I pleaded loud and long, I was rusticated for two terms. I never went back to Cambridge.

Robinson in charge of the party sent out, dated Flint Court House, stating that the rescuing party had arr rived, and found the whole country deserted. The Proctor family had left the previous day at G o'clock in the evening with forty-six well-armed men, taking all 4 'ir wounded with them into the moi. ins. Pursuit with a handful of men was out of the question. The letter further states that it was a dreadful affair, both sides fighting like bull-dogs. There were thirteen killed and twelve wounded. It seems that the approach of the United States Marshrl's force was well known at the Court House, and preparations for resistance were made, the court having adjourned on the morning of the tight from the Court House, which stands on open ground, to a school house about half a mile away, and where it is quite closely built up. All the people there were armed, including the jury. Even Proctor, the murderer, had a Spen; oer rifle and two revolvers. Of the marshal's party eight were killed, including Deputy Marshal Owens, aud two severely wounded. Of the assailants four were killed, including a deputy sheriff and a juror, and six were wounded. Beside* these two men were found dead half a mile from the Court House, and it is supposed they were killed in wantonness by the retreating aggressors.

Ac. gan-lott, while the organist was all right in front, listening hard, it is to be hoped, to the Dean's sermon. In a moment 1 slipped round, when I found the coast waC clear and came upon the little side-door open; I doubled myself up and got in. I went cautiously on bands and knees across the top of the bellows, and after several hairbreadth escapes reached the rods of the great organ-stops, with the compositionrollers working above and below. 1 softly cot ofr the bellows at the side farthest from the side-door, and here I had to place myself in the most uncomfortable position It is possible to conceive. I had just room for my two legs, but none for the upper part of my body. A large beam projected just into the very spot where my shoulders ought to have been; so I had to bend my head forward over the top of the reservoirbellows, with a row of sharp wire screwends above, lying across the nape of my neck. The composition pedal-work was new in front of me nearly, and pulling out a small rule, I immediately commented nay investigation and measurement. Mean while, I cofild hear the heavy theological Dean droning out his interminable sermon. For the first time m my life I admired his prolixity, for every additional subdivision of his subject gave mc so much more time for my work. I knew full well that, when the sermon came to an end, my little excursion must also terminate, for the organists would then commence his concluding voluntary. I heard a faint sound at the back of the organ, of which, however, I did not take much notice. I supposed (and rightly) that it was the blower (returning to his post, and I naturally cilculatcdthe small gratuity which would suffice to buy his sileuce when I made my exit through the dark little door opposite. Hew far the Dean had advanced in his sermon I could not tell exactly, but I know that he was in deep " Thirdly," and I thought to myself it was nearly time for me to get out. I had just resolved upon this, and was folding up my two-foot rule and my paper of memoranda, when ray attention was attracted by a subdued creaking sound. I looked round; and, by the dusty twilight which prevailed inside the organ, I just saw enough to suspect that the bellows-blower had begun to put in the wind. In consternation 1 put my hand upon the top of the reser voir-bellows just before me. Yes, it was too true; the wind was beir.gput in, xeady for the concluding voluntarj'. It must be remembered that my head was of necessity bent forward, that my face was looking down upon the top of the bellows, and that I was so securely wedged into this position that it was only by scrambling across the top of the bellows I could possibly get out; and this was only possible when the wind was out and the bellows at its lowest level. Immediately, when I saw the difficulty, [ endeavored to get one leg upon the bellows, in the hope 1 might be able to scramble over it to the other side before it rose much higher. But it had already risen too high lor this. Every movement of the handle, worked by the man outside, raised the large moving surface an additional inch or so. It was now breast high, within two inches of my face. To raise my head was impossible, for, as I before remarked, a row of sharp screw-ends (technically called " tapped wires") was j directly over the nape of my neck. All this time, though it was but a few seconds, I was acutely conscious of the steady progress of the sermon. I can even now remember every word of the sonorous Dean's peroration. A sudden thought flashed across my mind : 11W hat a fool I am !— why not open the escape-valve?" Now, the escape-valve, which is an arrangement for preventing the bellows from bursting, was, as usual, in the middle of the wide expanse of the bellows-top. If I could only press this down, the air would esc&'pe, the bellows would sink, and I might yet get free. I strained and reached, but in vain ; my longest finger could not be got wi thin six inches of the valve. I thought of .my two-foot rule; but,alas! in my consternation 1 had let it drop. On went the sermon ; "beat, beat," went my heart.

For the most ordinary processes of tuning and regulating, the unfortunate operator had to perform the feats of an acrobat before he could get at either pipes or key-action. The bellows had to be emptied and the swell closed before he could get in at all. And after he was in, it was only by getting over sundry massive beams, under cross-beams not more than two feet from the ground, and through apeitures scarcely big enough for a rabbit, that any of the important working-parts of the instrument could be reached. To tie oneself into a knot, as tumblers do, was nothing to this. Unless a man could double himself up into the space of a cubic foot or so, unless he could wriggle along yards upon his back, and staua for maty miserable minutes in the most apopietic pastures, he could not hope to do anything to the interior of the St. Blasius organ. It was from this untoward instrument that I obtaiued all my patterns and measurements for my own chamber-organ. I formed the acquaintance of the organist, and, after a vast amount of sirategy, won life consent to my venturing into the hidden deptos of bis hideous old machine. Week after week did I attempt new feats with the view of getting hints for my own amateur work. I lived in a chronic state of broken head andcontuscd shins. Every now and then I appeared with one or more black eyes; and on two occasions I was' most suspiciously cross-examined by the Dean as to presumed pugilistic propensities.The undersigned hitving become proprietors ot th MANUFACTURERS OF NEARLY OP POSIT TIIE "riKENIX above establishment would respectfully announce to the people ot West Pittston and the pub'.ic in general that they will use their best endeavors to satisfy their customers by furnishing the very best of OAK, PINE k HEMLOCK BUILDING.

I remember when I was at Singapore I used to go to a tavern down by the port, which was the house of call of the merchant captains. English skippers always mustered strong there, and one day after dinner tbey got over their grog to canvass the naVies of the -world. They soon made a clean sweep, I tell you, of all the rest, and left the British navy riding alone on the bosom of" the ocean. There wa» a long yellow chap in one corner; a tough, silent, double-jointed fellow. I could see in a moment he hailed from somewhere within sight of Plymouth Rock. Well, he sat there hitching and wincing, till first he couldn't drink, and then he couldn't chew, and at last up he jumped, slapped his cap on his head, and roared put—"By thunder, you Britishers, I jest tell ye this. Thar's steamers enough ou the Mississippi to tow your cussed thundering little island across the Atlantic without your knowing it." And then he made sail for the door.—A Week in the West. Ladies as Clerks. Aug. 24, 1 McMURTRIE & BROS, Office nt HATS AND CAFS. HOSIERY, SHOES X " CK The Secretary of the Treasury of the United States has 107 ladies in his own offiee, thirty-three in the library, and 125 engaged in counting notes. The librarian is a lady who deserves more tlian passing notice, possessing ability of a high order and culture beyond the average man or woman. She was appointed to this place, formerly held by a gentleman drawing a salary of §2,200, and the salary was reduced to the limit of feminine requirements, which it seems was then $1,200. It rose, however, to §1,400 soon thereafter, and again a few days since to SI,600. The assistant librarian has entire charge of the books and performs the duties of two desks formerly occupied by two gentlemen receiving salaries respectively of $$1)400 and §1,600 per year. This lady's ability is recognized and appreciated by the chief clerk and head of the division. She is a relative of Justice Story, formerly of the Supieme Bench, and commands a salary of §900. Tbe correspondence of the Secretary's office is all copied here by the ladies of the bureau. It was formerly done by gentlemen who received salaries of 1.200 §1,400, and §1,600 for doing it. There are five ladies in the Secretary's office holding clerkships of the first class" with salaries of §1.200 per annum. In the Bureau of tbe Comptroller of the Currency there are twentv-eigbt ladies, including one who receives §1,200 per unnum. The work done here is the tame as done by gentlemen in other bureaus. One lady does the correspondence. Another is an accountent of acknowledged ability, and is valued for accuracy and fidelity, and there is also a stenographer who writes for the Comptroller. This kind of work is done in other bureaus by gentlemen with salaries raging from §1,200 to §1.800 per year. 'VT'EW NEAT MAuKET.

Four years passed by without any accident. My studies were in a most backward state, but, oh joy! my chamberorgan was 011 the high road to completion. The tutor complained of my idleness. My father upbraided me for neglecting my reading, but I hugged myself with the thought that once the organ was finished, I would buckle-to and make my running with the college subjects. In the midst of my good resolutions, a most lamentable accident took place. I was, one day, standing inside the chapel organ, resting on my left knee, with one foot wedged in between two pipes, the other suspended delicately in the air, my head tucked out of the way under my right arm, while I held a long screw-driver in my left-hand. In this pleasant position I had stood for nearly ten minutes, examining a portion of the wind-chest work, when by an overpowering impulse I was compelled to sneeze, and in the act I dropped the screwdriver. Down it fell heavily on the swelltrackers, and forthwith snap went the trackers, and my implement traveled on to further mischief below. At this juncture I heard a familiar voice: "Hallo!  what's that ?"

It is told by a lady1, thus: " Miss Shell, the bride, called early one morning on an intimate family friend of mine and asked her to go shopping with her, to which my friend consented. When their shopping business was concluded, Mis« Shell asked her if she could spare a littl* further time to accompany her to church, as she was going to be married that morning. She said she would not keep her long, as the service wouid be short, and she would not have to answer any questions. The bride, I may tell you, vr»i dressed in a waterproof cloak, and wore a brown straw tat, and these articles of attire she kept on during the whole of the ceremonv. Immediately the service was concluded she rushed Into the vestry to sign her name in the register, without even waiting for her husband. As soon as this was done she seated herself iiuthe brougham, bid my friend adieu, and told her that she should be happy to see her that day fortnight when they returned from their marriage trip, as on that occasion they intended to give some of their friends a Champagne luncheon. The citizen and citizeness then -drove from the church to several of the shops, and then to his house in Sloane street, where the lady wrote various letters and invitations far the Champagne luncheon, ate a becfeteak for her dinner, and then left with h»r aristocratic republican husband for the country to spend the honey-moon."

It appeals that the youug man alluded to sleeps in the post office, and during the night he woke up with a sensation which might be experienced by a person having a muscular dentist endeavoring to extract his nose with an overgrown turn-screw. At first he thought it was a dream, but on opening his eyes ho discovered to his amazement an enormous rat which had fastened its teeth on his nasal protruberanee, and with every apparent intention of making a good square meal from the same. Of course the foe retreated precipitately, leaving blood trickling from the wound. Shortly afterward, however, the bloodthirsty little brute returned to the attack, when the whole post office turned out and by a well organized advance along the line, the enemy's quarters were carried and the malicious brute sent to kingdom come.
