FREEMAN, A white-haired man, a wrinkled dame, and down the hill they go, IIow careless of Aiiguste." cried the lady, "to leave the door open for thieves to enter by." The gentleman lustily called fot help. Fernande said nothing. Conscious of bis terrible position, he was stricken dumb; and it was as one passes through the changing scenes of a dream, that he knew himsolf to be arrested and cast into prison. The prima don»a appeared against him when the proper time came. She had found thin man in her room. He had a valuable ornament in his band. She believed that he intended to steal it. She had never seen liim before—O no, never. Yerv much has been written on this subject, and written unwisely; the facts are that whosoever sleeps uncomfortably cool will get sick. To hoist a window sky-high when the mercury is at zero is an absurdity. The colder a sleeping apartment is, the more unhealthy does it become, because cold condenses the carbon id acid formed by the breathing of the sleeper. It settles near the floor and is rebreathed, and if in a Tery condensed form, he will die before the mofning. Hence we must be governed by circumstances. The first thing is, yeu must be comfortably warm during sleep—otherwise you are not refreshed, and inflamation of the lungs may be engendered, and life destroyed within a few&days. An open door ancl an open fire-place are sufficient for ordinary purposes in very cold weather. Wlien outer windows are opened, it is well to have them down at the top two or three inches, and up at the bottom the same space.

In miasmatic localities—and these aw along water-courses, beside millponds, marshes, bayous, river bottoms, flat lands, and the like—it is mpst important, from the first of August until several severe frosts have been noticed, to sleep with all external doors and windows closed, because the cool air of sunset causes the condensation of poisonous emanations which were caused by the heat of the noonday sun to rise far abovCD the earth; this condensation makes the air "heavy'' at sundown, made heavy by the greater solidification of the emanations by cold; and resti igon the surface of the earth in their more concentrated malignant form, are breathed into the lungs and swallowed into the stomach, corrupting and poisoning the blood with great rapidity. By daylight, these condensations are made so compact by the protracted coolness of the night, thatjthey are too near the surface of the earth to be breathed into the system; bnt as the sun begins to ascend, these heavy condensations, miasms begin to rise again to the height of several feet above the ground and are freely taken into the system by every breath and swallow; hence the hours of sunrise and sunset are the most unhealthfnl of all the hours of the twenty-fonr in the localities named; and noontide, when the sun is hottest is the most healthful portion of the day, liecause the miasm is so much more rarefied that it ascendtrapidly to the upper regions. The general lessons are: Avoid exposure to the out door air in miasmatic localities for the hours including sunrise and suuset. 2d. Have a blazing fire on the hearth of the family room at those hours, to rarefy and send the miasm upwards. 3d. Take breakfast before going out of doors in the morning, and take tea before sundown; then being out after night is not injurious.—Hall's Journal.HOLLOW-WARE 1 Such as POTS and KETTLES, FIRST Yes, honor be to silvered heads! for on an aged brow ALSO AGENT FOR NATIONAL BANK He was fined $10 -and costs, taxed at 828 60, for want of which he was committed to jail.

CATT riON—None genuine uule-Js t tamped with our trade CD mark. Messrs, Heis and Flogel have lately published the result of"an elaborate series of investigations into the subject of the aurora, and especially as to its altitude and its position in space, and they suui up their conclusions in the following propositions : 1. The aurora is a luminous phenomenon in regions which are entirely outside of our atmosphere, or so situated that only the lowest portion entets into the outermost strata of the atmosphere. The observed altitude ot the aurora varies from time to time, but the basal portion has been determired to be at least forty miles in Leight, which, of course, would preclude the idea of a direct association of this phenomenon with clouds, or of the possibility of its interposition between a distant mountain and the orserver, as has been asserted. 2. The largest portion of an aurora is a luminous ocean of white light which probably has its centre in the magnetic pole and thence may extend more or less toward the south. Its exact magnitude can only be determined by cor respondin g observ tl tisiii 1:f 1 ifnh and more southern latitudes at a great distance apart. The depth of this luminous stratum, Or the distance between its upper and lower borders, has not yet been ascertained. 3. Ttiis universal luminous ocean is bounded by a fringe, extending in the direction of a magnetic parallel circle, which developes over a more or less extended space the phenomena of rays, and which seem tj be exclusively limited to it; the observer north of the fringe seeing rays to the south of him, and the northern sky exhibiting only a general white light. It is probable that border or fringe may have a width reaching 400 miles. 4. The fringe in general, shortly before a period of radiation, is thrown out in the form of concentric waves ot light from the universal luminous ocean ; the non-luminous space remaining behind this light is the well known dark segment. 5. The radiating margin usually divides into a number of secondary areas which we may call the fields of radiation. 6. The fields of radiation appear to move with great velocity to the westward in the direction of the magnetic parallel circle. 7. The fields of radiation send out upward masses ot bright light arranged in columnar form— the rays proper—which take the direction ol the magnetic dip. AH the luminous emissions ot a radiating character in other directio s are not to be considered as genuine riys. 8. The height of the base ol the rays is various some observations making it from 80 to 140 miles and the greatest height not exceeding 160 miles. 9. The height of the summit of the rays in extended auroras reaches 280 miles, sometimes 400, the maximum being 600. 10. The rays always have white light below, aud pass at the summit into red.

La C had every luxurious lounge and conch and sofa to be bought tor money. She lavished gold on her friends, on herself, on her pet.poodle, on the beggars who held out their crooked hands, and showed their distorted faces it the door of the house, as she tripped from it to her carriage, They said she had been a peasant child, whose sweet voice as she stood singing at the door of a little hut had caught the ear of a wealthy mnsic worahippei, who h:id bad her taught in conseqnence. They rell such stories of so many prima donnas. No one would have guessed from her manner now, she ever knew the value of a sou. Yet with all this extrava gance she was growing rich, and could, make a little fortune in a-night. Young, beautiful, aijored, who could be happier? And yet, though she could sing ito divinely, she could not have composed one of those little songs which were writt en in the garret over her head, to save her bright young life. Each one was a srem, and probably M. Fernande knew it, for genius ought to recognize its own work. Still, rattling marches, waltzes that were the same old thing over again, and bits from well known operas twisted into galops, sold ; while his little songs lay neglected on the ocunter, and others never reached the counter at til, being scorned from the first by publishers with io music in their souls, however much 'here may have been in their shops. If, indeed, some well known singer ivould have sung one of them—Maderooi«He La C , for instance—then there night have been a change. The thought irept into poor Fernande's heart by de;rees; at last it strengthened Into a re olve ; but it most be the best of all that te should lay before his idol, the verj iest—nothing else would do. So he wrote in his attic room, the pool omposer, and below, the happy sonj tird trilled her songs, and laughed anC hatted, and was carelessly generous, am leverr kp -^f Oh the eager, glittering eyes that watched her!

Having recently made large additions to bis stock of fa a The Butter Trade.—Few people bare a just idea of the immense amount of capital invested in the butter trade. According to statistics, the dairy products of the United States aggregate i-D value $600,- 000,000 annually. From official sources tbe total sales of dairy products of the Uuited States, for 1870. from 8,935,332 cows, was: butter, 514,092 682 lb\, at an average of 30c. per lb., or 6171,364 239; 53,492,1531 bs., exclusive of factory product, statistics of which are not at hard, at an avurageof 15c. per lb , or $802,382 20; milk, 235,509 599 gallons, at an average of 30c. per gallon, or $70 682x79 70; making a grand total of $242,819,488. This is exclusive of tbe enormous amount consumed by producers that cannot be reached, as it noes into consumption without sales or account, and can onlv be estimated. This, with the increase of production since 1870, is currently estimated to make op the balance of the $600,0CU 000, which, without statistics given, might seem toa high. The butter trade in New York centres in Orange County to a considerable extent, furnishing that city orerhalf a million pounds during the season of six mo«ths. Probably there is not a trade of the same magnitude t iat is so wholly without oigauization as t e butter trade and has so many errors anJ • uses. Aug. 11. '70-ly. DAVID PATTERSON, Prop.

They still retain the old-fashioned idea that roast missionary is good. Last December one fanatic killed a missionary there in fu'l view of his congregation, cut off his head, gathered the congregation in their church, and then, standing in the pulpit, made a nice little meal of missionary blood. He has since been hung. & STRONG, BUMGARDNER & RADER, DEALEKS IN DRY GOODS, G ROCERIES, PROVISIONS,FLOUR FEED, MEAL, BOOT8, SI10E8, HAT8, AND CAPS. Ac.. Ac. MAIN STREET, PITTSTON, PENN'A.

Once wealthy, he died poor, having been ruined by the late FrenC h war. Ilis versatile Irish nature led him to begin lile as a cabin-boy, and subse quently to become a medical student in Paris. Next he appeared in Germany lecturing on Shakespeare ; in Hamburg as a Greek professor; in Holland witu a Spanish ballet troupe, whom he biought out; then as an exhibitor of Tom TLu.nb, the Irish giant Murphy, and finally himself perioiming a$ the "strong man" in a circus.

The people sprung to their feet and shouted till I think they might have been heard far out at sea. Everybody who had a white handkerchief waved it, and from across the bnilding bits of muslin in the compact chorus looked like the falling of snow. Of course the air bad to be repeated, and when at last the Guards marched away to the voice of a tiiumphant flourish on the orpar, the audience and chorus both seemed to be out of their senses.

A large snare of property was bequeathed to the child, but in the case of her death before the age of twenty, it was to go to her cousin. She grew up delicate in health, and as she approached tbe tatal limit, the mother and cousin bargained over het chances of life. Finally the cousin sold his chances of the inheritance for $4,000, and because the girl died before she was twenty, he sued the mother to recover the entire property, alleging that he was deceived as to tbe state of tbe girl's health. The courts say that won't do; he must stand by his bargain. The Mott Steam Mill, Pittston, May 36,1871. /Br On the old Basin, near Waddell's Mill.

FREEMAN, A white-haired man, a wrinkled dame, and down the hill they go, IIow careless of Aiiguste." cried the lady, "to leave the door open for thieves to enter by." The gentleman lustily called fot help. Fernande said nothing. Conscious of bis terrible position, he was stricken dumb; and it was as one passes through the changing scenes of a dream, that he knew himsolf to be arrested and cast into prison. The prima don»a appeared against him when the proper time came. She had found thin man in her room. He had a valuable ornament in his band. She believed that he intended to steal it. She had never seen liim before—O no, never. Yerv much has been written on this subject, and written unwisely; the facts are that whosoever sleeps uncomfortably cool will get sick. To hoist a window sky-high when the mercury is at zero is an absurdity. The colder a sleeping apartment is, the more unhealthy does it become, because cold condenses the carbon id acid formed by the breathing of the sleeper. It settles near the floor and is rebreathed, and if in a Tery condensed form, he will die before the mofning. Hence we must be governed by circumstances. The first thing is, yeu must be comfortably warm during sleep—otherwise you are not refreshed, and inflamation of the lungs may be engendered, and life destroyed within a few&days. An open door ancl an open fire-place are sufficient for ordinary purposes in very cold weather. Wlien outer windows are opened, it is well to have them down at the top two or three inches, and up at the bottom the same space.

In miasmatic localities—and these aw along water-courses, beside millponds, marshes, bayous, river bottoms, flat lands, and the like—it is mpst important, from the first of August until several severe frosts have been noticed, to sleep with all external doors and windows closed, because the cool air of sunset causes the condensation of poisonous emanations which were caused by the heat of the noonday sun to rise far abovCD the earth; this condensation makes the air "heavy'' at sundown, made heavy by the greater solidification of the emanations by cold; and resti igon the surface of the earth in their more concentrated malignant form, are breathed into the lungs and swallowed into the stomach, corrupting and poisoning the blood with great rapidity. By daylight, these condensations are made so compact by the protracted coolness of the night, thatjthey are too near the surface of the earth to be breathed into the system; bnt as the sun begins to ascend, these heavy condensations, miasms begin to rise again to the height of several feet above the ground and are freely taken into the system by every breath and swallow; hence the hours of sunrise and sunset are the most unhealthfnl of all the hours of the twenty-fonr in the localities named; and noontide, when the sun is hottest is the most healthful portion of the day, liecause the miasm is so much more rarefied that it ascendtrapidly to the upper regions. The general lessons are: Avoid exposure to the out door air in miasmatic localities for the hours including sunrise and suuset. 2d. Have a blazing fire on the hearth of the family room at those hours, to rarefy and send the miasm upwards. 3d. Take breakfast before going out of doors in the morning, and take tea before sundown; then being out after night is not injurious.—Hall's Journal.HOLLOW-WARE 1 Such as POTS and KETTLES, FIRST Yes, honor be to silvered heads! for on an aged brow ALSO AGENT FOR NATIONAL BANK He was fined $10 -and costs, taxed at 828 60, for want of which he was committed to jail.

CATT riON—None genuine uule-Js t tamped with our trade CD mark. Messrs, Heis and Flogel have lately published the result of"an elaborate series of investigations into the subject of the aurora, and especially as to its altitude and its position in space, and they suui up their conclusions in the following propositions : 1. The aurora is a luminous phenomenon in regions which are entirely outside of our atmosphere, or so situated that only the lowest portion entets into the outermost strata of the atmosphere. The observed altitude ot the aurora varies from time to time, but the basal portion has been determired to be at least forty miles in Leight, which, of course, would preclude the idea of a direct association of this phenomenon with clouds, or of the possibility of its interposition between a distant mountain and the orserver, as has been asserted. 2. The largest portion of an aurora is a luminous ocean of white light which probably has its centre in the magnetic pole and thence may extend more or less toward the south. Its exact magnitude can only be determined by cor respondin g observ tl tisiii 1:f 1 ifnh and more southern latitudes at a great distance apart. The depth of this luminous stratum, Or the distance between its upper and lower borders, has not yet been ascertained. 3. Ttiis universal luminous ocean is bounded by a fringe, extending in the direction of a magnetic parallel circle, which developes over a more or less extended space the phenomena of rays, and which seem tj be exclusively limited to it; the observer north of the fringe seeing rays to the south of him, and the northern sky exhibiting only a general white light. It is probable that border or fringe may have a width reaching 400 miles. 4. The fringe in general, shortly before a period of radiation, is thrown out in the form of concentric waves ot light from the universal luminous ocean ; the non-luminous space remaining behind this light is the well known dark segment. 5. The radiating margin usually divides into a number of secondary areas which we may call the fields of radiation. 6. The fields of radiation appear to move with great velocity to the westward in the direction of the magnetic parallel circle. 7. The fields of radiation send out upward masses ot bright light arranged in columnar form— the rays proper—which take the direction ol the magnetic dip. AH the luminous emissions ot a radiating character in other directio s are not to be considered as genuine riys. 8. The height of the base ol the rays is various some observations making it from 80 to 140 miles and the greatest height not exceeding 160 miles. 9. The height of the summit of the rays in extended auroras reaches 280 miles, sometimes 400, the maximum being 600. 10. The rays always have white light below, aud pass at the summit into red.

La C had every luxurious lounge and conch and sofa to be bought tor money. She lavished gold on her friends, on herself, on her pet.poodle, on the beggars who held out their crooked hands, and showed their distorted faces it the door of the house, as she tripped from it to her carriage, They said she had been a peasant child, whose sweet voice as she stood singing at the door of a little hut had caught the ear of a wealthy mnsic worahippei, who h:id bad her taught in conseqnence. They rell such stories of so many prima donnas. No one would have guessed from her manner now, she ever knew the value of a sou. Yet with all this extrava gance she was growing rich, and could, make a little fortune in a-night. Young, beautiful, aijored, who could be happier? And yet, though she could sing ito divinely, she could not have composed one of those little songs which were writt en in the garret over her head, to save her bright young life. Each one was a srem, and probably M. Fernande knew it, for genius ought to recognize its own work. Still, rattling marches, waltzes that were the same old thing over again, and bits from well known operas twisted into galops, sold ; while his little songs lay neglected on the ocunter, and others never reached the counter at til, being scorned from the first by publishers with io music in their souls, however much 'here may have been in their shops. If, indeed, some well known singer ivould have sung one of them—Maderooi«He La C , for instance—then there night have been a change. The thought irept into poor Fernande's heart by de;rees; at last it strengthened Into a re olve ; but it most be the best of all that te should lay before his idol, the verj iest—nothing else would do. So he wrote in his attic room, the pool omposer, and below, the happy sonj tird trilled her songs, and laughed anC hatted, and was carelessly generous, am leverr kp -^f Oh the eager, glittering eyes that watched her!

From official sources tbe total sales of dairy products of the Uuited States, for 1870. from 8,935,332 cows, was: butter, 514,092 682 lb\, at an average of 30c. per lb., or 6171,364 239; 53,492,1531 bs., exclusive of factory product, statistics of which are not at hard, at an avurageof 15c. per lb , or $802,382 20; milk, 235,509 599 gallons, at an average of 30c. per gallon, or $70 682x79 70; making a grand total of $242,819,488. This is exclusive of tbe enormous amount consumed by producers that cannot be reached, as it noes into consumption without sales or account, and can onlv be estimated. This, with the increase of production since 1870, is currently estimated to make op the balance of the $600,0CU 000, which, without statistics given, might seem toa high. The butter trade in New York centres in Orange County to a considerable extent, furnishing that city orerhalf a million pounds during the season of six mo«ths. Probably there is not a trade of the same magnitude t iat is so wholly without oigauization as t e butter trade and has so many errors anJ • uses. Aug. 11. '70-ly. DAVID PATTERSON, Prop.

They still retain the old-fashioned idea that roast missionary is good. Last December one fanatic killed a missionary there in fu'l view of his congregation, cut off his head, gathered the congregation in their church, and then, standing in the pulpit, made a nice little meal of missionary blood. He has since been hung. & STRONG, BUMGARDNER & RADER, DEALEKS IN DRY GOODS, G ROCERIES, PROVISIONS,FLOUR FEED, MEAL, BOOT8, SI10E8, HAT8, AND CAPS. Ac.. Ac. MAIN STREET, PITTSTON, PENN'A.

Once wealthy, he died poor, having been ruined by the late FrenC h war. Ilis versatile Irish nature led him to begin lile as a cabin-boy, and subse quently to become a medical student in Paris. Next he appeared in Germany lecturing on Shakespeare ; in Hamburg as a Greek professor; in Holland witu a Spanish ballet troupe, whom he biought out; then as an exhibitor of Tom TLu.nb, the Irish giant Murphy, and finally himself perioiming a$ the "strong man" in a circus. He filled these diversified positions creditably, and was at one time tutor to Charles Lever's children, and companion to Sir William Don in his theatrical tours on tbe continent. f\QUAGA HOUSE, V_ / *ho L. & B.

Before the plaudits had died away, the leader instructed his Grenadiers to play the "Spar-Spangled Banner," and what a time there was then! The people sprung to their feet and shouted till I think they might have been heard far out at sea. Everybody who had a white handkerchief waved it, and from across the bnilding bits of muslin in the compact chorus looked like the falling of snow. Of course the air bad to be repeated, and when at last the Guards marched away to the voice of a tiiumphant flourish on the orpar, the audience and chorus both seemed to be out of their senses.

A large snare of property was bequeathed to the child, but in the case of her death before the age of twenty, it was to go to her cousin. She grew up delicate in health, and as she approached tbe tatal limit, the mother and cousin bargained over het chances of life. Finally the cousin sold his chances of the inheritance for $4,000, and because the girl died before she was twenty, he sued the mother to recover the entire property, alleging that he was deceived as to tbe state of tbe girl's health. The courts say that won't do; he must stand by his bargain. The Mott Steam Mill, Pittston, May 36,1871. /Br On the old Basin, near Waddell's Mill.

And whenever he saw the squaw relieved of making fires or of any kind of drudg ery by their husbands, he knew those husbands were •converted, But the reverse of all thie was a enre indication that tb« bubesdi win h«%tben."
