Iu spite of the mathematical calculations of the almanac men Indian summer is a moveable feast. It comes with the frost and before the snow. It comes when the cornfields are all harvested, and while the boys are gathering the latest glories of the orchard; when Maud with Marion are searching the last flowers an d the most brilliant leaves among all with fthich the American fall decorates American.forest* before they are surrendered to winter. It comes when the furnaces are lighted in town and pliins laul before the indoor enjoyments of coming months. Other countries have their seasonable superiorities. Nothing cfen be finer than the lush greenery of a perfect summer day in Eugland; when all is repose and the atmosphere and the scenery seem freighted with vealth. The sudden burst of spring, garnished with flowers and all but developed to summer at its very birth in Italy, is fine. A winter day in Holland has been glori6ed by both painter and poet. But Indian summer is more bravely and gorgeously appareled here than they all; is decorated with colors thev never know; lets glimpses of sunlight make burning avenues that seem unreal on canvas; has the squirrel aDd partridge and duck and deer to tempt the hunter's skdl and enliven the artist's landscape. And the reality is as attractive as the picture. For then outdoor work is done for the year, and crowded barns and bursting granaries; repopulated stables and refilled tool-houses; tbeglowof evening windows and the reunion of separated families show that home and social life are reborn. We are on the edge of this seasou, and it is as fugitive as it is charming.—jExchange.SAVINGS BANK, DEALER IN SAVINGS BANK lis H The maid let me out bv the back staircase, without anybody hearing us ; and away I went right over hill and dale as tired and as happy as a man could be But I were sorry about the hundred guineas too.

We think a good deal of the lord-lieutenaut down in Yorkshire; and when wo get up a bit in the world, and get asked to bis lordship's ball, we thiuk a deal of ourselves; and my word! some folks are a bit proud. Yes; that very day I had dressed the Misses Millikin's hair for the bal'—pretty early, mind yon, for I wouldn't put my old customers out of the way for any of your upstart people, seeing as I've dressed the hair of all the first families in Lvdford, and my father belore me, whereof no man1 knoweth to the contrary, as the lawyers say. Now Millikin has drawn me many a gill of ale in the days when he kept the tap up Newsman's Yard, and has borrowed inany a sixpence ot me too—not but what he was welcome to them, as J told his lordship when he came to ask me for my vote fur the town council. Hut that's neither here nor there. It isn't Millikin and such like as I trouble to tell a story about. It was passed nine, as I told you, and I was putting up the shutters pretty smart, not being a thing I ofteu do myself, but it so happened that night; and in another minute I should have been off to the White Dorse to meet one or two good fellows who were in the habit of having a glass or two together of a night; but as I was screwing up the bar of the shutters, what should I see drawing up to my door but a splendid carriage and two beautiful horses, all of a lather with sweat! Well, that put me about a bit, to think what a carriage should be doing at my door at this time of night; but I hadn't long to wonder, for a grave, tall, solemn-looking chap comes up to my door and calls out, *' Is Creecher here ?"

The Alabama Claims.—Mr. Walter, M. P., proprietor of the London Timet, speaking bcloie his constituents, said be thought it impossible to rate too highly the benefit which both Great Britain and the United States must derive Irom the settlement of the Alabama question. It was not, he thought, because British military or navel preparations were inadequate to the emergency that the course taken was adopted; nor did he think, bad those preparations been more adequate, a different course would have been pursued by the Government. He should regret exceedingly if it could be supposed that tho policy of Great Britain on that most momentous question was dictated by anything else than that innate love of justice and fair dealing which he believed not only to be the most nobft-ftrtmg wnich eotitd be entertained by statesmen, but wHch lay at the very root of society. He thought, in spite of tbe complieati«ns and difficulties of international law, England did owe some reparation to America* for tbe lo»ses which had been sustained by tho depradations of the Alabama, and be believed that was the sole motive which influenced the Government in sanctioning tbe treaty, which he believed contained nothing but what was honorable to this country.

SMITH, The Tarantula. iv c n% recently greatsin. .ss, cails the I and well known I !e below Pittston. I Main Street, Pittston, Pa. DEALER IS Horrible and loathsome ai the rattlesnake is, and though, on the whole, he is, of course, more feared than any other creature in America, yet, on the western frontier, lie is not dreaded so much as the tarantula spider. This is an enemy against whom none can guard, and for whose bite no remedy has been found. Such alarm do they inspire, that I have known a large party of men, who had 'camped out' all through a snake country, and through the midst of hostile Indians, driven from a desirable position ky discovering that tarantulas infested the spot. The tarantula spider commonly grows to the size of halt' a large walnut, being thick and rounded something like the half-shell, and has eight long legs, two at each corner. It is covered with long hair; and is, indeed, as ugly and disgusting a reptile or insect, or whatever it is, as cat. easily be seen. The people who dwell where these spiders most abound, declare most stoutly that they attain a size equal to the clenched fist of a man, but I think this is a great exaggeration; a' anyrate, I have never seen any approach this size. I do not know if there are several varieties of the tarantula, but some are said to haunt the marshy borders or streams, while others are found in dry, rocky places. Last summer a woman was bitten near this district by one, just above her ankle; the poison acted quite as qnickly as serpent poison, and she was carried to the nearest town for surgical advice. I have not heard whether she lived or died, but her leg was all one uniform size from the instep to above the knee—I should think eighteen or twenty inches round—and shockingly discolored and inflamed. I knew one of two men who were sleeping in a tent when a tarantula found its way in. They were both bitten by the same spider; one died, the other was scarred for life. The tarantula is more dangerous than other venomous creatures, because a light attracts it, and will always crawl into a tent, if possible, where a light is burning. They inflict the wounds with their mouths, and not with nippers or claws.—Chamber"* Journal.Yard on tlic j to his Next door to th® Gazett* Office.

Parkhurst, merchant, lost S3,000 at faro wou by gamblers and sued to recover it. The purely technical question presented for the decision of the judge was in regard to the meaning of the eighth and forteenth sections of the Revised Statutes in relation to gaming. The prosecution said that the violation of the law was indictable within the meaning of the fourteenth section, which is in eflect that any one who engages in a game of chance and bets on it,is entitled to recover from the man who wins; while the defence claimed, in an elaborate argument, that the whole scope of the offence was chargeable in the eighth section, which is, in effect, that the events and detailed schednle of losses must be exhibited, with the dates of times when the money was lost, ard the particular amounts lost on specified days, precisely like the bill of a tailor who furnishes coats, pantaloons. &c., to a customer, and makes out a bill at the end of the month, or quarterly. with full particulars.

THK With that he took up my hat, that was lying on the counter, and baugs it on my head, and pushes me into the carriage, and away we went before you could say "Jack Robinson."—and away we went. Eh, but we did go rarely 1 It "were a dark night, and frosty ; and|we soon got out of the lights of the town, and still the horses galloped wn, and I could see the stars twinkling overhead ; and then it grew colder all of a sudden, and the windows of the carriage were covered with ice in a minute, and I could see naught but the inside, where I were sitting with the strange man. And he said never a word. But still we galloped on; and after a good bit I heard the murmur and dash of a river hard by above tlie clatter of the hoofs, and we crossed a bridge, I think, fur wo went up and -down for a minute as if we had been in a swing. And then the sound of hoofs died away altogether, as if we were traveling over soft turf or gravel; and presently tlie carriage stopped all of a sudden. A footman stood at the door; the silent man jumped out. '■ Stay there!" he cried as he went, with a gesture of authority—"stay there!" And there I staid, for I were cowed like with being carried off like that, and didn't know if my soul were my own. " What '11 the old woman say, though ?" I thought to myself. The carriage moved on a bit, and stopped again. ' The story is familiar of the man who took passage in a flat-boat from Pittsburg bound for New Orleans. He passed many weary, listless days on his way down the Ohio and Mississippi, and seemed to be desponding for want of excitemen. Superficial ly, he was quiet and inoffensive; practically, he was perfectly good-natured and kindly disposed. In course of time the craft upon which he was a passenger put into Napoleon, in the State of Arkansas, "for groceries." At the moment there was a general fisht extending all along the "front of the town," which at tiiat time consisted of a single house. Carriage Builders CLOTHING EMPORIUM 1 MAIN STREET, PITTSTON.

Well, when I'd done my supper I were taken into the young lady's room, and I began the job. I took it np bit by bit, washed it in spirits of wine, combed it out hai- by hair, and so I went on hour by hour. There w is naught for it but patience and hard work. She seemed to doze a bit, poor lass, ever and again; but work as gently as I would, it must have given her a deal of pain. She'd sigh a little now anil then, and give a li'.tle soft moan sometimes ; but eh I she bore it all, all her and pain, for all the suf fering and trouble that were in her eyes— she bore it like an angel from heaven. The old woman sat beside us for an hour, till she got so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open, and then she beckons to the maid to come and sit in her place, and she goes off to her comfortable bed, I suppose; and by-and-by the maid goes fast asleep, and everything seemed aeleep but me and the lassie. There wasn't a sound but the wind soughing among the trees outside, and the murmur of the river falling over the weir. Well, the job went on, and still as it went on the lassie seemed to grow weaker and weaker, and then a big awful fear came into my throat. She was dying under my hands, -Pittston, Fa. * Invention bt a F emale. —Miss Kate Barton, a youug lady of Philadelphia, who has a penchant for practical mechanic", has invented an imp-ovement on sewing machines which will adopt them to the manufacture of sails and other heavy goods, something heretolore impossible. It consists in the main of an arrangement by which a piece of canvess or other cloth to be sewed is tightly stretched at a uniform height from a floor or table, on which, runs by means of tracks (to which the motive power is applied) the peculiar form of machine wbieli does the stitching. This machine has two needles, which make paralled seams, and there is connected with it a contrivance called a creaser, for uniting and pressing together the two edges of the cloth. The whole is quite simple ia its operation, and those better acquainted with such matters say it is just the machine which has so long been wantedj GENERAL BLACKSMITHS, AND Haying recently made large additions to bit stock of 6 a Exster St., West Pittston.

Iu spite of the mathematical calculations of the almanac men Indian summer is a moveable feast. It comes with the frost and before the snow. It comes when the cornfields are all harvested, and while the boys are gathering the latest glories of the orchard; when Maud with Marion are searching the last flowers an d the most brilliant leaves among all with fthich the American fall decorates American.forest* before they are surrendered to winter. It comes when the furnaces are lighted in town and pliins laul before the indoor enjoyments of coming months. Other countries have their seasonable superiorities. Nothing cfen be finer than the lush greenery of a perfect summer day in Eugland; when all is repose and the atmosphere and the scenery seem freighted with vealth. The sudden burst of spring, garnished with flowers and all but developed to summer at its very birth in Italy, is fine. A winter day in Holland has been glori6ed by both painter and poet. But Indian summer is more bravely and gorgeously appareled here than they all; is decorated with colors thev never know; lets glimpses of sunlight make burning avenues that seem unreal on canvas; has the squirrel aDd partridge and duck and deer to tempt the hunter's skdl and enliven the artist's landscape. And the reality is as attractive as the picture. For then outdoor work is done for the year, and crowded barns and bursting granaries; repopulated stables and refilled tool-houses; tbeglowof evening windows and the reunion of separated families show that home and social life are reborn.

We think a good deal of the lord-lieutenaut down in Yorkshire; and when wo get up a bit in the world, and get asked to bis lordship's ball, we thiuk a deal of ourselves; and my word! some folks are a bit proud. Yes; that very day I had dressed the Misses Millikin's hair for the bal'—pretty early, mind yon, for I wouldn't put my old customers out of the way for any of your upstart people, seeing as I've dressed the hair of all the first families in Lvdford, and my father belore me, whereof no man1 knoweth to the contrary, as the lawyers say. Now Millikin has drawn me many a gill of ale in the days when he kept the tap up Newsman's Yard, and has borrowed inany a sixpence ot me too—not but what he was welcome to them, as J told his lordship when he came to ask me for my vote fur the town council. Hut that's neither here nor there. It isn't Millikin and such like as I trouble to tell a story about. It was passed nine, as I told you, and I was putting up the shutters pretty smart, not being a thing I ofteu do myself, but it so happened that night; and in another minute I should have been off to the White Dorse to meet one or two good fellows who were in the habit of having a glass or two together of a night; but as I was screwing up the bar of the shutters, what should I see drawing up to my door but a splendid carriage and two beautiful horses, all of a lather with sweat! Well, that put me about a bit, to think what a carriage should be doing at my door at this time of night; but I hadn't long to wonder, for a grave, tall, solemn-looking chap comes up to my door and calls out, *' Is Creecher here ?"

The Alabama Claims.—Mr. Walter, M. P., proprietor of the London Timet, speaking bcloie his constituents, said be thought it impossible to rate too highly the benefit which both Great Britain and the United States must derive Irom the settlement of the Alabama question. It was not, he thought, because British military or navel preparations were inadequate to the emergency that the course taken was adopted; nor did he think, bad those preparations been more adequate, a different course would have been pursued by the Government. He should regret exceedingly if it could be supposed that tho policy of Great Britain on that most momentous question was dictated by anything else than that innate love of justice and fair dealing which he believed not only to be the most nobft-ftrtmg wnich eotitd be entertained by statesmen, but wHch lay at the very root of society. He thought, in spite of tbe complieati«ns and difficulties of international law, England did owe some reparation to America* for tbe lo»ses which had been sustained by tho depradations of the Alabama, and be believed that was the sole motive which influenced the Government in sanctioning tbe treaty, which he believed contained nothing but what was honorable to this country.

SMITH, The Tarantula. iv c n% recently greatsin. .ss, cails the I and well known I !e below Pittston. I Main Street, Pittston, Pa. DEALER IS Horrible and loathsome ai the rattlesnake is, and though, on the whole, he is, of course, more feared than any other creature in America, yet, on the western frontier, lie is not dreaded so much as the tarantula spider. This is an enemy against whom none can guard, and for whose bite no remedy has been found. Such alarm do they inspire, that I have known a large party of men, who had 'camped out' all through a snake country, and through the midst of hostile Indians, driven from a desirable position ky discovering that tarantulas infested the spot. The tarantula spider commonly grows to the size of halt' a large walnut, being thick and rounded something like the half-shell, and has eight long legs, two at each corner. It is covered with long hair; and is, indeed, as ugly and disgusting a reptile or insect, or whatever it is, as cat. easily be seen. The people who dwell where these spiders most abound, declare most stoutly that they attain a size equal to the clenched fist of a man, but I think this is a great exaggeration; a' anyrate, I have never seen any approach this size. I do not know if there are several varieties of the tarantula, but some are said to haunt the marshy borders or streams, while others are found in dry, rocky places. Last summer a woman was bitten near this district by one, just above her ankle; the poison acted quite as qnickly as serpent poison, and she was carried to the nearest town for surgical advice. I have not heard whether she lived or died, but her leg was all one uniform size from the instep to above the knee—I should think eighteen or twenty inches round—and shockingly discolored and inflamed. I knew one of two men who were sleeping in a tent when a tarantula found its way in. They were both bitten by the same spider; one died, the other was scarred for life. The tarantula is more dangerous than other venomous creatures, because a light attracts it, and will always crawl into a tent, if possible, where a light is burning. They inflict the wounds with their mouths, and not with nippers or claws.—Chamber"* Journal.Yard on tlic j to his Next door to th® Gazett* Office.

Parkhurst, merchant, lost S3,000 at faro wou by gamblers and sued to recover it. The purely technical question presented for the decision of the judge was in regard to the meaning of the eighth and forteenth sections of the Revised Statutes in relation to gaming. The prosecution said that the violation of the law was indictable within the meaning of the fourteenth section, which is in eflect that any one who engages in a game of chance and bets on it,is entitled to recover from the man who wins; while the defence claimed, in an elaborate argument, that the whole scope of the offence was chargeable in the eighth section, which is, in effect, that the events and detailed schednle of losses must be exhibited, with the dates of times when the money was lost, ard the particular amounts lost on specified days, precisely like the bill of a tailor who furnishes coats, pantaloons. &c., to a customer, and makes out a bill at the end of the month, or quarterly. with full particulars.

And he said never a word. But still we galloped on; and after a good bit I heard the murmur and dash of a river hard by above tlie clatter of the hoofs, and we crossed a bridge, I think, fur wo went up and -down for a minute as if we had been in a swing. And then the sound of hoofs died away altogether, as if we were traveling over soft turf or gravel; and presently tlie carriage stopped all of a sudden. A footman stood at the door; the silent man jumped out. '■ Stay there!" he cried as he went, with a gesture of authority—"stay there!" And there I staid, for I were cowed like with being carried off like that, and didn't know if my soul were my own. " What '11 the old woman say, though ?" I thought to myself. The carriage moved on a bit, and stopped again. ' The story is familiar of the man who took passage in a flat-boat from Pittsburg bound for New Orleans.

The old woman sat beside us for an hour, till she got so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open, and then she beckons to the maid to come and sit in her place, and she goes off to her comfortable bed, I suppose; and by-and-by the maid goes fast asleep, and everything seemed aeleep but me and the lassie. There wasn't a sound but the wind soughing among the trees outside, and the murmur of the river falling over the weir.

It consists in the main of an arrangement by which a piece of canvess or other cloth to be sewed is tightly stretched at a uniform height from a floor or table, on which, runs by means of tracks (to which the motive power is applied) the peculiar form of machine wbieli does the stitching. This machine has two needles, which make paralled seams, and there is connected with it a contrivance called a creaser, for uniting and pressing together the two edges of the cloth.
