On his shoulders and hams the muscles were gathered in knots as large as one's hand; the skin was very thiu, and the veins underneath stood out like whip cords. As the horse had been captured by everybody, thecommanding officer ordered that he should be put up at raffle, and each claimant be given otie chance. This was universally satisfactory, and at the drawing Lieut. Larribee of Oapt. I'histerer's company, Seventh United States Infantry, won the prize. When I saw him he was quite gentle, and would allow you to C'it his sides,and even mount upon his ack. It was said he could trot as fast as an ordinary horse could run, an I, when being caught, he was timed betwen two trees, and, the distance afterward being measured, it was found he had run a mile in 1 minute and 49 seconds.— Chicago Tribune.

SCHOOLKT, The human hand has often been taken to illustrate Divine wisdom— and very well. But have you examined your horse's hoof. It 1* hardly less curious in its way. It* parts are somewhat complicated, yet their design is simple and obvious. The hoof is not, as it appears to the careless eye, a mere lump of insensible boue fastened to the leg by a joint. It- is made up ofa series of thin layers or leaves of horn, about five hundred in number, and nicely fitted to each other, and forming a lining to the foot itself. Then 'here are as many more layers, belonging to what is called the "coffinbone," and fitted into this. These are elastic. Take a quire of paper and insert the leaves one by one Into those of another quire, and you will get some idea of the arrangement of the several layers. Now, the weight of the horse rests on as many elastic springs as there are lay?rs in his four feet—about 4,000; and all this is contrived, not only for the conveyance of his own body, but for whatever burdens may be laid on him. Q S. STARK, Having greatly his facilities for business, calls the attention of the public to his old end well known yard on the plank road, half a mile below Pittaton, where the public ma stall times be accommodated with the bent of bick and receive estimates for buildings.

PITT8TON, PA. At Camp Brown, in the Wind River country, we saw a wild horse, which had a history worth relating- Home years ago the Cheyenne Indians stole him in Kansas, and sold him to the Utes, who in turn sold him to the Sioux, from which tribe he was bought or stolen by the Snake Indians, and brought to the Valley oftlie Popoagie. Here lie escaped, and for a long time baffled all efforts to recapture him. At length he was caught and sold to a Mr. Gallahei; but while being taken to the settlements he broke a strong chain and got away into the mountains. In time he appeared on his old stamping ground, ana the Indians laid plans to take him. He was so fleet he could outrun their best horses, and no number of them could run him down. V/hen surrounded or cornered he bit, kicked, and fought so fiercely it was impossible to hold him. One day he was surprised in a canon by a body of warriors, and lassoed before he could get out. Securely tied with ropes he was brought to tiie Indian camp and starved, beaten, and choked into semi-obedience. An ambitious Indian attempted to ride him, and away lie went to the hilh. Late at night the Indian returned to camp sore and tired, but without the horse: he had been thrown and the animal was once more at large. He was often seen after this, but defied all attempts to take him. One afternoon an Indian who was out Ashing saw the wild horse grazing under a bluff, and tying a large stone to his lariat he crawled to'the edge of the rock and threw the noose with unerring precision. The horse dragged ihe rock for some distance, but choked by the throng he staggered, fell to the plain, and wa-i once more bcund hard and fast. The Indians now tied him with a log-chain to a tree, but even this he managed to break and fled to the hills. IN THE BEST STYLES, At the lowest prices, JOHN RICHARDS, C. F. dk 0. B.

Pennies, like minutes, are often thrown away, because people do not know what to do with them Those who are economists ot the time, and all the great men on record have been s6, take care of the minute: for they know that a few minutes well applied each day will mako hours in the course of a week, and days in the course of a year and ill the course of alonglife,they will make enough of time, if well employed, in which a man may, by perseverance, have accomplished some work useful to his fellow creatures, and to himself. Large fortunes, when gained hone3tly, are rarely acquired in any other way than by small savings at first; and savings can only be made by habits of industry and temperance. A saving, therefore, while he is adding to the general stock of general wealth, is setting an example of those virtues, on which the very existence and happiness of society depends. There are saving people who are misers, and have no one good quality for which we can like them. These are not the kind of people of whom we are speaking but we may remark that a miser, though a disagreeable fellow while alive, is a very useful person when dead. He has been compared to a tree which, while it is growing, can be applied to no use, at last furnishes timber for houses and domestic utensils. But a miser is infinitely more useful than a spendthrift, a mere consumer waster, who, after he has spent all his money, Iries to spend that of other people. _ W1L.KES-BARRE, PA. H H. P.

WILLIAMS, STONE QUAUAY The peculiarities of day and night in Sweden strike the traveler v y forcibly, after being accustomei. to the temperate zone. In June the sun goes down in Stockho'm about 10 o'clock. There is a great illumination all night as the sun passes around the earth towards the North Pole, and the refraction of its rays is such that you can read at midnight without any artificial light. There is a mountain at the head of Bothnia, where on the 21st of June, the sun does not seem to go down at all. The steamer goes up froin Stockholm for the purpose of conveying those curious to witness the phenomena. It occures only on one night. The sun reaches the horizon : you can see the whole face of it, and in five minutes more begins to rise. At the North Cape, 72 deg., the sun does not go down for several weeks. In June it would be about 25 deg. above the horizon at midnight. In the Winter, the sun disappears, and is not seen for weeks ; and then It comes and remains for ten or fifteen minutes after which it descends, and finally does not see at all, but makes almost a circle around the heavens. The Swedes are very industrious and labor is reckoned by the hour, twelve hours being reckoned as a day's work. Birds and animals take their accustomed rest at the usual hour whether the sun goes down or not.

On attempting to approach him, he fled like the wind into the mountains: but next day was again perched on the bluff, quietly looking down at the camp. The commanding officer ordered him not to be disturbed, and next day put some mules on the bluff to graze. He came down and remained with them all day, but retired at nii;ht into the mountains. The next day he came down to the cavalry herd on the plain, but seemed greatly excited, and kept running about nearly all day. The commanding officer directed that no one should pursue him as long as he kept in motion, and, by gentle alarms, he was made to gallop In wide circles about the herd, but, as if charmed, would constantly return to it. Late in the afternoon parties of cavalry, men on mules, and a company of infantry were sent quietly out of the fort, and occupied the passes and hill tops for miles. It was known he would break through auy small cirole, and so an immense one was formed to UT. CHARLES HOTEL. O A. 1DAY, Proprietor.

CIVIL ENGINEERS THE WORLD The new reinforced siege guns lately added to the German artillery, of 21, 28, and 30} centimeters rifled bore, are said to be the most powerful guns in the world. Their performances are truly remarkable. The last mentioned gun, with 120 to 130 lbs. of prismatic powder of from 1.74 to 1.76 specific gravity, fires a chilled cast iron shell of 600 to 610 lbs. weight with an Initial velocity of 1,607 feet persecond, which is said to have never been attained before by an rifled gun. At a distance of 1,200 paces, or 988 yards, it sends the shell clean through a 14 inch armor filate and backing. The gun is very landy and easily manoeuvred; it requi reC one man to handle the breech piece, two to lift up and Insert the shell by means of aaavit lift, two men to give it its greatest elevation of 17 deg. in 16} seconds, or iti greatest depresdion of 6} deg. in 11 seconds, and two men to giveit its lateral direction by means or % chain ruunlng over jack pulleys. THE THIERS ALBUM. Robt. Seaman, ;im'l J. Berry. Jr., Jan 1 '73 J. A. Winner, Franklin Whitney. SURVEYORS, A number of Frenchmen In San Francisco, admirersof M. Thiers, have united in the preparation of an album to be presented to the veteran statesman as a testimonial of their appreciation of the services lie has lately rendered to France. The material result of their enthusiastic feeling is so exceptionally splendid that we think it must be regretted it could not have been exhibited in New York for a short time in order that we might a'l have had an opportunity of admiring an object that does so much honor to the men, the artist, and the workn en, whose wealth, and talent, and skill of hand have created it. The testimonial has taken the form of a box resembling a oook. and enclosing an address written in French, and finely embossed on vellum. The covers of the book are composed entirely of materials found ill California. The ground of the ornamentation is of polished wood laid ir. mosaic of a well-designed pattern, each separate portion being of a wood different from the oihers. Oil the front cover the ornamentation consists of the monogram of M. Thiers, "A. T.," in diamonds surmounted by a wreath of oak and laurel in high relief in pure gold of different colors, spaudrils are filled with polished plaques of gold bearing quartz, and tho whole is separated from the bo. der by a molding of pure gold. The border is set with eight bosses of gold-bearing quartz set in gold and brought to a high polish. The medallion that is inscribed with the monogram of M. Thiers Hits up and displays a sunshaped figure, the lays of which are composed of the (i if it rent precious minerals produced by the soil of Ca'ifornia. The other cover of the book answers in its general design to the front, but the ornaments are in silver, with the e: ceptien of the wreath surrounding the medallion, which is of golden wheat-ears. We confess we were not prepared to see so exquisito a work as this oduced wholly in our own country, i is particularly noticeable for the good taste witli which all a D;Dearance of roeid costly d'splay has been avoii'ed. The first exclamation is, "How beautiful!" and we discover later how precious the gift is in its intrinsic value. We are sure that even in Paris it wi.'l be admitted to be a work of exceptional merit; we ourselves have seen nothing finer in the workshops of Barbed.enne, of Froment-Meurice, or of Christofie ; and M. Thiers, who has as fine taste in matters of art, coupled with right good judgment, as any man living, will feel another glow beside that of gratified pride in examining this gift, as honorable to the givers as to himself. We have to thank M. Hypolite Cogniat of No. 29 East Fourteen street for the opportunity of sharing, with a few delighted French fellow-citizens, the pleasure of examining this offering to one of the most honored and honorable of living statesmen,The mott steam mill, P1TT8TON, PENN'A, GRIER A FARRER, PROPRIETORS.

She left this citysome time ago as a volunteer uurse and at Shreveport her noble bravery and devotion gained for her the title of Angel Agnes. One night, being wearied out, Agnes while walking with a sick child in her arms, fell down a stairway, at the foot of which was a pail of water. On this she struck and fractured her spine, and died in great agony. Only a few days previous her intended husband, wlio hud followed her to Shreveport died with the fever.

Men mounted on horses and mules, and on foot, moved forward, and the circle gradually lessened, until a wall of human flesh bound in the noble horse011 every side. Round and round the circle he went, his nostrils distended and his eyes flashing fire. For a time he kept ahead of his pursuers, and the cavalry horees, one by one, dropped behind; but the mules showed their superior toughness, and closed on him. One old saddle mule, who had become excited in the chase kept close up, with tail erect, and finally headed him. As the horse swung round, and turned once more toward the fort, the air rang with huzzas, for now his canture seemed almost certain. The old mule, with surprising speed and bottom, kept closa to the horse's flanks, and the horde who had been following in the wake of the chase parted right and left to let the, horse through, and, when in the midst of them, they closed around him bo thickly that he wheeled and plunged in every direction.

On his shoulders and hams the muscles were gathered in knots as large as one's hand; the skin was very thiu, and the veins underneath stood out like whip cords. As the horse had been captured by everybody, thecommanding officer ordered that he should be put up at raffle, and each claimant be given otie chance. This was universally satisfactory, and at the drawing Lieut. Larribee of Oapt. I'histerer's company, Seventh United States Infantry, won the prize. When I saw him he was quite gentle, and would allow you to C'it his sides,and even mount upon his ack. It was said he could trot as fast as an ordinary horse could run, an I, when being caught, he was timed betwen two trees, and, the distance afterward being measured, it was found he had run a mile in 1 minute and 49 seconds.— Chicago Tribune.

SCHOOLKT, The human hand has often been taken to illustrate Divine wisdom— and very well. But have you examined your horse's hoof. It 1* hardly less curious in its way. It* parts are somewhat complicated, yet their design is simple and obvious. The hoof is not, as it appears to the careless eye, a mere lump of insensible boue fastened to the leg by a joint. It- is made up ofa series of thin layers or leaves of horn, about five hundred in number, and nicely fitted to each other, and forming a lining to the foot itself. Then 'here are as many more layers, belonging to what is called the "coffinbone," and fitted into this. These are elastic. Take a quire of paper and insert the leaves one by one Into those of another quire, and you will get some idea of the arrangement of the several layers. Now, the weight of the horse rests on as many elastic springs as there are lay?rs in his four feet—about 4,000; and all this is contrived, not only for the conveyance of his own body, but for whatever burdens may be laid on him. Q S. STARK, Having greatly his facilities for business, calls the attention of the public to his old end well known yard on the plank road, half a mile below Pittaton, where the public ma stall times be accommodated with the bent of bick and receive estimates for buildings.

PITT8TON, PA. At Camp Brown, in the Wind River country, we saw a wild horse, which had a history worth relating- Home years ago the Cheyenne Indians stole him in Kansas, and sold him to the Utes, who in turn sold him to the Sioux, from which tribe he was bought or stolen by the Snake Indians, and brought to the Valley oftlie Popoagie. Here lie escaped, and for a long time baffled all efforts to recapture him. At length he was caught and sold to a Mr. Gallahei; but while being taken to the settlements he broke a strong chain and got away into the mountains. In time he appeared on his old stamping ground, ana the Indians laid plans to take him. He was so fleet he could outrun their best horses, and no number of them could run him down. V/hen surrounded or cornered he bit, kicked, and fought so fiercely it was impossible to hold him. One day he was surprised in a canon by a body of warriors, and lassoed before he could get out. Securely tied with ropes he was brought to tiie Indian camp and starved, beaten, and choked into semi-obedience. An ambitious Indian attempted to ride him, and away lie went to the hilh. Late at night the Indian returned to camp sore and tired, but without the horse: he had been thrown and the animal was once more at large. He was often seen after this, but defied all attempts to take him. One afternoon an Indian who was out Ashing saw the wild horse grazing under a bluff, and tying a large stone to his lariat he crawled to'the edge of the rock and threw the noose with unerring precision. The horse dragged ihe rock for some distance, but choked by the throng he staggered, fell to the plain, and wa-i once more bcund hard and fast. The Indians now tied him with a log-chain to a tree, but even this he managed to break and fled to the hills. IN THE BEST STYLES, At the lowest prices, JOHN RICHARDS, C. F. dk 0. B.

Pennies, like minutes, are often thrown away, because people do not know what to do with them Those who are economists ot the time, and all the great men on record have been s6, take care of the minute: for they know that a few minutes well applied each day will mako hours in the course of a week, and days in the course of a year and ill the course of alonglife,they will make enough of time, if well employed, in which a man may, by perseverance, have accomplished some work useful to his fellow creatures, and to himself. Large fortunes, when gained hone3tly, are rarely acquired in any other way than by small savings at first; and savings can only be made by habits of industry and temperance. A saving, therefore, while he is adding to the general stock of general wealth, is setting an example of those virtues, on which the very existence and happiness of society depends. There are saving people who are misers, and have no one good quality for which we can like them. These are not the kind of people of whom we are speaking but we may remark that a miser, though a disagreeable fellow while alive, is a very useful person when dead. He has been compared to a tree which, while it is growing, can be applied to no use, at last furnishes timber for houses and domestic utensils. But a miser is infinitely more useful than a spendthrift, a mere consumer waster, who, after he has spent all his money, Iries to spend that of other people. _ W1L.KES-BARRE, PA. H H. P.

WILLIAMS, STONE QUAUAY The peculiarities of day and night in Sweden strike the traveler v y forcibly, after being accustomei. to the temperate zone. In June the sun goes down in Stockho'm about 10 o'clock. There is a great illumination all night as the sun passes around the earth towards the North Pole, and the refraction of its rays is such that you can read at midnight without any artificial light. There is a mountain at the head of Bothnia, where on the 21st of June, the sun does not seem to go down at all. The steamer goes up froin Stockholm for the purpose of conveying those curious to witness the phenomena. It occures only on one night. The sun reaches the horizon : you can see the whole face of it, and in five minutes more begins to rise. At the North Cape, 72 deg., the sun does not go down for several weeks. In June it would be about 25 deg. above the horizon at midnight. In the Winter, the sun disappears, and is not seen for weeks ; and then It comes and remains for ten or fifteen minutes after which it descends, and finally does not see at all, but makes almost a circle around the heavens. The Swedes are very industrious and labor is reckoned by the hour, twelve hours being reckoned as a day's work. Birds and animals take their accustomed rest at the usual hour whether the sun goes down or not.

On attempting to approach him, he fled like the wind into the mountains: but next day was again perched on the bluff, quietly looking down at the camp. The commanding officer ordered him not to be disturbed, and next day put some mules on the bluff to graze. He came down and remained with them all day, but retired at nii;ht into the mountains. The next day he came down to the cavalry herd on the plain, but seemed greatly excited, and kept running about nearly all day. The commanding officer directed that no one should pursue him as long as he kept in motion, and, by gentle alarms, he was made to gallop In wide circles about the herd, but, as if charmed, would constantly return to it. Late in the afternoon parties of cavalry, men on mules, and a company of infantry were sent quietly out of the fort, and occupied the passes and hill tops for miles.

CIVIL ENGINEERS THE WORLD The new reinforced siege guns lately added to the German artillery, of 21, 28, and 30} centimeters rifled bore, are said to be the most powerful guns in the world. Their performances are truly remarkable. The last mentioned gun, with 120 to 130 lbs. of prismatic powder of from 1.74 to 1.76 specific gravity, fires a chilled cast iron shell of 600 to 610 lbs. weight with an Initial velocity of 1,607 feet persecond, which is said to have never been attained before by an rifled gun. At a distance of 1,200 paces, or 988 yards, it sends the shell clean through a 14 inch armor filate and backing. The gun is very landy and easily manoeuvred; it requi reC one man to handle the breech piece, two to lift up and Insert the shell by means of aaavit lift, two men to give it its greatest elevation of 17 deg. in 16} seconds, or iti greatest depresdion of 6} deg. in 11 seconds, and two men to giveit its lateral direction by means or % chain ruunlng over jack pulleys. THE THIERS ALBUM. Robt. Seaman, ;im'l J. Berry. Jr., Jan 1 '73 J. A. Winner, Franklin Whitney. SURVEYORS, A number of Frenchmen In San Francisco, admirersof M. Thiers, have united in the preparation of an album to be presented to the veteran statesman as a testimonial of their appreciation of the services lie has lately rendered to France. The material result of their enthusiastic feeling is so exceptionally splendid that we think it must be regretted it could not have been exhibited in New York for a short time in order that we might a'l have had an opportunity of admiring an object that does so much honor to the men, the artist, and the workn en, whose wealth, and talent, and skill of hand have created it. The testimonial has taken the form of a box resembling a oook. and enclosing an address written in French, and finely embossed on vellum. The covers of the book are composed entirely of materials found ill California. The ground of the ornamentation is of polished wood laid ir. mosaic of a well-designed pattern, each separate portion being of a wood different from the oihers. Oil the front cover the ornamentation consists of the monogram of M. Thiers, "A. T.," in diamonds surmounted by a wreath of oak and laurel in high relief in pure gold of different colors, spaudrils are filled with polished plaques of gold bearing quartz, and tho whole is separated from the bo. der by a molding of pure gold. The border is set with eight bosses of gold-bearing quartz set in gold and brought to a high polish. The medallion that is inscribed with the monogram of M. Thiers Hits up and displays a sunshaped figure, the lays of which are composed of the (i if it rent precious minerals produced by the soil of Ca'ifornia. The other cover of the book answers in its general design to the front, but the ornaments are in silver, with the e: ceptien of the wreath surrounding the medallion, which is of golden wheat-ears. We confess we were not prepared to see so exquisito a work as this oduced wholly in our own country, i is particularly noticeable for the good taste witli which all a D;Dearance of roeid costly d'splay has been avoii'ed. The first exclamation is, "How beautiful!" and we discover later how precious the gift is in its intrinsic value. We are sure that even in Paris it wi.'l be admitted to be a work of exceptional merit; we ourselves have seen nothing finer in the workshops of Barbed.enne, of Froment-Meurice, or of Christofie ; and M.

Among the first who hastened to the relief of the Shreveport sufferers was a beautiful young lady of this city. She was willing to brave even the terror of death to give aid andepmfort to the helpless victims of a terrible scourge. She was Agnes the daughter of a United States naval officer deceased. and the adopted daughter of 8. and Agnes Arnold of this city, having been adopted by them when scarcely three years old. She left this citysome time ago as a volunteer uurse and at Shreveport her noble bravery and devotion gained for her the title of Angel Agnes. One night, being wearied out, Agnes while walking with a sick child in her arms, fell down a stairway, at the foot of which was a pail of water. On this she struck and fractured her spine, and died in great agony. Only a few days previous her intended husband, wlio hud followed her to Shreveport died with the fever. As soon as possible both bodies will be brought to this city where the funeral will take place .—Philadelphia Telegraph. rpiiE Pine Boardu, SldinK, Flooring, Hemlock Boards, Glass, Putty, Nails, Ac.

The log chain he had on when he made his last escape from the Indians was still about his neck, and the end of it threshed his fore legs untill the hair, and even the skill, was beaten off and the blood ran down. On he went like the wind, shaking off cavalryman after cavalryman, and opening wide gaps between him and his pursuers. It was getting near dark, and still the chase continued, the horse showing no great signs of distress.

SPADES, SCOOPS, WORK ARRIVAL! At length the signal to close In was given and then began the scramble. Men mounted on horses and mules, and on foot, moved forward, and the circle gradually lessened, until a wall of human flesh bound in the noble horse011 every side. Round and round the circle he went, his nostrils distended and his eyes flashing fire. For a time he kept ahead of his pursuers, and the cavalry horees, one by one, dropped behind; but the mules showed their superior toughness, and closed on him. One old saddle mule, who had become excited in the chase kept close up, with tail erect, and finally headed him. As the horse swung round, and turned once more toward the fort, the air rang with huzzas, for now his canture seemed almost certain. The old mule, with surprising speed and bottom, kept closa to the horse's flanks, and the horde who had been following in the wake of the chase parted right and left to let the, horse through, and, when in the midst of them, they closed around him bo thickly that he wheeled and plunged in every direction. A teamster seized hold of the end of the chain, and the next iuptant a rope was over the wild creatures neck. Still he struggled lor his liberty, but many hands soon bound him, and lie To the Ladies of Pittston and vicinity. Mrs. D.
