I the last century, there lived a woman cal ed the Bearded Virgin of Dresden, wlrtw portrait has beon preserved. According t Michelis, her beard, whieh waa three inehc long grew from each side of her chin, an was of snowy whiteness. At first, ah® Ot it every month, then every fortnight, am eventually, twice in a week. Cantrastin strongly with her white beard waa a raoui tache of short black hair. It is said sh had a voracious appetite, a loud voice, an was a person of undoubted courage an boldness. A young woman of twenty-tw' a native of Switzerland, applied at the Cha ing Cross Hospital, London, for a oertil cate of her sex, in order to satisfy the sor pies of a clergyman before whom she hi come to be married, who could not belies that whiskers and a beard four inches lor were consonant with her representation It seems that she was born with hair upc the face, and that, at eight years, it hi attained a length of two inches. She stati that she had a brother quite as remarkab for the absence of beard. She had I moustache. A sister, two years younge possessed tho same peculiarities. Subs qucntly to her marriage, she was exhibit* in London, under the appelation of tl "Ilairy Prodigy." Dr. Grau, of Loui villo, has made known the case of a wouw aged seventy-eight, healthy, and mother a large family, whose face, at the sides, i the chin and lips, was covered, thick! with coarse hair, which she was obliged shave otf as often as onoo in a week. 8! was very masculine in appearance; in fat the long hair of her head, was, apparent! her sole feminine characteristic.

Plttston, March 29,1860,—tf.  A specimen weighing 200 pounds, has recently been taken from tho Alabama Lode to send to New York. The owners are very confident of making "their pile" from it; but many doubt tho existence of a lode where it is now located. It is located on a point of the mountain, and the gulch below is very rich. There is a lode, and perhaps more than one, in tho immediate neighborhood, and there is no doubt but the burned granite has the pure gold spattered through it—often plain to the nakod eye; but tho question remains to be tested whether the unburned granite of this country shall add a new fact to the scienoe of mineralogy.

If people were to live in tho States as they live here, sometimes on meat alone, and sometimes oh bread alone, for weeks at a time, and no vegetables; half clothed, and thousands with scarcely any clothing; sleeping on the ground, in the cabin or out doors, and often without a dry thread about tbcm ; wearing their clothes dirty and lousy until they will hold on them no longer; their general fare being a chunk of bacon, often eaten raw, a cup of coffee, and what is called hot bread, baked in a frying-pan before the fire, and about as easily digested as tenpenny nails—I say, if people were to live thus in the States, tho average of human life would be 10 instead of 34 vears.

Instances of hair attaining a marvellous length aro not infrequent; ancHt is said that it is by no means uncommon, among the Malays, for the hair to touch the ground. But the phenomenon of a woman with a lony beard is extremely rare. A woman is mentioned, by Euebius Nicerimbergius, who had a beard reaching below her middle. Thero was also a woman at Copenhagen, alluded to by Bartholin, who had a profuse beard. A bearded woman was a few years since exhibited in New York.

Although last Winter was more severe than any for many years, bo that hundreds of cattle froze to death, and the Spring was at least six weeks later than that of 18G4, still we have at this time as fine beef here as I have ever seen.

Your attention is invited to a It has long been believed, on the authority of certain historical statements, that the hair continues to grow after death. Thus, it is said that, when the sarcophagus which contained the hoad of Charles I. was lately opened, the hair was found to have attained a marvellous length. Wulferus speaks of a woman buried at Nuremburg, whose grave was entered after a lapse of fortj-three years, when the "hair of the deceased was observed streaming through the olefta of the coffin—which, I presume we are to infer, had become so crammed with poit-mortem tresses that the subsequent accumulation was forced to accommodate itself outside. A sufficient answer to these wild statements is afforded in the physiological fact that all vital action in the body necessarily ceases with life, and therefore, the post-mortem growth of the hair, at least through the regular mode of production, must be considered as an impossibility.THOMPSON DERR, Agent, Wilkes-Barre, Pa, New System of Life Principles, SKIRT SUPPORTERS, HENRY C.

SPINO SHOULDER BRACES, and STAY SUPPORTERS, KOCH'S SALOON ACKAWANNA AVENUE, PRACTICAL WATCHMAKERS There is but little farming going on in the valley of the Prickly Pear this Summer, owing to the poverty of the llancheowners. Many of them are not "on the work," and only look up ranches for speculation ; root-crops and grain must always be profitable, because not one-hundredth part of the population is here which will be required to work this country, and transportation will keep up prices. My opinion is that Winter grains can be grown here without irrigation—at least thousands and thousands of acres will produco them. The wild wheat grows luxuriantly on the bottoms, over six feet high. The potatoes and turnips are the best—finest flavored—I have ever eaton. Flour sold this Spring at $125 per sack, and is now selling at $24 and $30. Potatoes rose to 65 cents per pound, and are now 20 to 25 cents. At the highest prices, not a pound of flour, rice, beans or meal oould be bought for weeks.

Hernia, or Rupture I Peter Massius relates that, at a placo tamed "Holy lloek," upon tho confines of ?isi, a girl was born Completely covered vith hair. The circumstatioc is attributed ,o the fact that her mother was in the habt of indulging Cin morbid rumination on a aicture of St. John the Baptist, in his hairy raiment, that hung at her bedside. In I815, ltuggieri, gave an account of a woman, aged twonty-seven, who, from shoulders to covered with soft, black, woolly/fiair, "like that of a poodle dog." In 18$9, a man was seen at Ava, by a member of an embassy to that region, who was covered with hair from head to foot. On his face, nose and ears it was eight iuchea Iothj, and four or five inches on tho shoulders and breast. Fry, tho traveller, saw a Fakir who had hair on his breast measuring sixteen inches. Olliver, a contemporaneous French physician, speaks, in a recent paper, of a young lady with an exquisitely fair skin, and beautiful deep-black hair, who, in tho course of recovery from a fever, found the whole surface of her body in the peouliar state sometimes exhibited upon exposure in cold weather, being covered with what are oommonly tormed "goose pimples." These remained, and in the course of a few days, each beoame dark at the summit, and presently a little blaok hair appeared. In a month, these hairs had grown so fast, she was entirely covered, excepting only her faoe, her j0!ms,and the soles of her feet, with a coat of haiaan inch in length.

It has universally been acknowledged that this Creek was rioh, and probably the richest thing in the State, from tho prospects on the bars and all through the gravel on the Creek, and from the great number of known rich lodes crossing it. Hundrods of holes have been sunk from two to five feet deep, when tho water drives out Mr. Pick and Shovel. The Creek has been staked for fifteen miles over and over again. Three companies arc now sinking shafts to the bed.rook. One of them is down about fifteen feet, and hag found from 10 to 75 cents to tho pan.
