The scarcity for this valuable cereal during the past spring has taught our farmers a lesson that they will not Boon forget, and if they are short again it will be through no fault of theirs.

STARK, A portion of the high wall encircling the enclosure containing the workshops connected with the penitentiary, has been taken down in the rear to enlarge the space, it having been found too crowdcd. The breach which opens into the fields back of the penitentiary has been carefully guarded, and not the least apprehension had been entertained of any attempt at escape in that quarter. Yesterday at dinner, however, Martin Coffee, a desperate character, who was sentenced to fifteen years' confinement for robbery, at the last session of the criminal conrt, and who has been incarcerated in the penitentiary but a few days, sprang suddenly to his ieet, and brandishing a large knife over his.head, called out in startling tones, " Now is your time, boys! Strike ! strike ! for your liberty !" Delivering himself of these startling words, Coffee sprang toward the door, followed by a motley crowd of desperate men, black and white, whom the hope of liberty bad suddenly wrought up into unwonted daring. ATTORNEY fITTSTOX, A AT.

It will commend iteelf, by its touching pathos, to all readnrs. The incident which it commemorates was unfortunately too common in both armies. It is startling to nolo licrw the artny of small speculators and impccunious brokers has multiplied since legitimate business has been depressed. Hundreds have abandoned their honest callings and gone to tho Stock Markot to  their luck. They scrape together what money they can, select their broker*, deposit their 10 per cent, margins on Erie or some other stock, and then sit down like a cat at a hole to watch for game. From this instant their nature undergoes a change. They become inveterate idlers, Vagrants, and tipplers. From nine o'clock in the morning to six in the evening their time is divided between " watching the market" and guzzliqg at Delmonico's.- Day after day the same familiar faces are seen filling theMtreets and the lobbies of the Long Room and Open Board. They wander like troubled spirits from pillar to post, waiting for fortune to smile on them, and hoping to get rich without labor. It is useless to warn fhem of the tricks of the trade and the dangers that bes-et them. Ruin is certain to overtake them speedily. There are enough genteelly-dresBed, ablebodied vagrants hanging about the Stock Boards to raise garden track for all the markets of New York, if systematically set to work in the country. It is disgusting to see how idleness and vice take hold on them. There is no better ntarsery for gamblers and topers in this city than the purlieus of Wall and Broad streets. !1A., J.

The fields in this section which were down to wheat last (all look very fine. They are covered with a thick carpet of the rarest Terdure, and, should the season henceforth prove favorable, will yield most abundantly, the promise being that the crop will be as superior in quality as it will be ih quantity. We have tfie same report as to the appearance of all the other fall sown grains. There is complaint of a " backward season,"but there is plenty of time to make fine corn and other summer crops. Old farmers tell ns that the corn crop is never poor two years in succession ; and as last year it was indifferent, wo may look for a good return this year. The ground, withoat any superabundance, is well supplied with moisture. The favorable weather, which after some delay we may now expect, may be reasonably Counted upon to bring forward and mature the crops. Upon the whole, we may say of all the crops adapted to the soil at.d climate of this section of the country, the prospect is seldom .more encouraging than it is now." MISSOURI. J. 11.

Pittstou, Mar. 29, HiO—tt Murmur a prayer soft and low, One bright curl from the cluster take— The guards, anticipating no demonstration while the prisoners were collected at dinner, had retired a little, and were lounging in the shade. Coffee, siill clutching the murderous knife, rushed to the spot where the wall bad been taken down, and made 51 furious onslaught upon the man who disputed bis pro* gross. The man, evading the weapon with which the mutinee was armed, felled him to the earth with a billet of wood. On the instant the guards rushed up, and the crowd which followed their now ranquised leader were overawed and dispersed into the inclosure. The mutiny had been quelled on the moment, and fortunately without a shot being fired, or a man, save the leader, hurt. Coffee is a desperate man, and since his incarceration- has been sowing the seeds of the conspiracy which developed yesterday. After he was secured he was made the subject of severe prison discipline.—Nashville (Tenn.) Press, May 14. JOSEPH SCUREMAN, Proprietor. [ Successor to R.

Her stock comprisesThe number of brokers and members of the Stock Boards has increased no less rapidly than the army of outsiders and hangers-on. There are far too many trying to get a living out of stock manipulations. No doubt a certain degree of speculation is favorable to the appreciation of railway shares. It stimulates traffic and attracts attention to tbese important public works. Brokers are useful to the mercantile community so long as they confine themselves strictly to commission business in legitimate transactions; but when the operations of the market are reduced to a brute struggle between " Bulls" and " Bears,"' to see which shall wipe out the other, it becomes advantageous not only to the public, but to the brokers themselves, to have their ranks thinned out by the exterminating process, just as wars often exercise a purifying effect upou demoralized peopler and communities. For two weeks and more there has been a dead look between the two rival factions. Stocks have fluctuated somewhat, but the range has been scarcely more than two per cent, in (bat time, and those who have boen expecting a rich harvest of profits by a sudden advance, begin to feel discouraged. The market languishes. Oftentimes during the day it is absolutely dead, and brokers fill up the intervals by singing " John Brown" in the Long Room, or by shouting and caterwauling. Thore is scarcely any thing done by outsiders, excepting by those habitues already referred to, and their pockets aro for the most part very indifferently lined. However, a chaqge must take place eventually, and opinion is about equally divided as to whether stocks are to advance or gT. CHARLES HOTEL, PITTSTON, PA. Jjl R. BAIRD & CO., T. B. BATED 8. F.

All kinds of grain give promise of an abundant yield. Irrefraoible Proof.—A Philadelphia gentleman of festive tastes, who takes * " fair shake" at all the obtainable pleasures of the town, last week assisted at a heavy dinner, took much potable, and did not leave for home until ever-so-many, o'clock. On reaching the door steps and fishing up his night key, he became satisfied that he was essentially convivialized, and not precisely in that condition which a good husband should be to meet a good wife. Cautiously e'ntering the hall he stopped, listened a moment, heard no noise, and Congratulated himself that the family were asleep.— Quietly he took off over-coat, drew off boots, turned off hall light, slowly ascended stairs to family bed room, hesitated at door, believed he was " reasonably" right, stealthily entered, found gas turned low, wife apparently asloep; thought sho was asleep; sat down, listened again, no stir; began to undress; got coat, vest pants, drawers, stockings all safely off; was journeying carefully toward couch, when wife of his bosom quietly asked : " Coming to bed, dear?"

If no mischief befalls it the yield will exceed that of any former crop. It has been estimated that a crop of ten millions of bushels will be gathered from the counties on and contiguous to the State railway.

JONES & ACKLEY, The people arc deeply intcreste d in the coming harvest, and, in the midst of present high prices and the impending gloom of a wet, .cold and backward season, an assurance better days are in store and not very far off, is like a ray of sunshine on a dark day. We have gleaned the following accounts and promises from the sources named, and which arc entitled to credit for reliability. EVery trade has its tricks. "Wall Street operators, whose wealth and experience enable them to control the market, have two principal sourccs of profifr— one through carrying slocks, and the other by forming "pools." It is noticeable that the public almost invariably buy stocks when they are high and sell them when they are low. The broker is not slow to take advantage of this frailty of human nature. He is happy to purchase for a customer 1000 shares of Erie at 90, receiving from him $10,000 in cash as margin in case of depreciation. In course of time tho broker, believing that the stock is too high, sells it, withouj,, however, informing his customer of the sale. As tho stock declines, fresh margin is called for and paid in At last a panic takes place, and tho stock falls to GO; tho broker is ordered to sell, and is supposed to do so at that figure. At all events, it is so charged to the customer lqpon the broker's books, and of course the broker pockets thfe 30 per cent, profit. advantage, W. N. MONIES. LEWIS PUGHE, ALABAMA.

Not "long since a certain gentleman—Mr. C by name—was traveling in the cars from Eutaw, Alabama, to this city. During one part of the route ail inquisitive Yankee ftcupied a seat near him. Not content with curiously scanning his fellow-traveler (he Yankee leyied at him a volley of questions, which Mr. C contrived to ward off for a while by devoting himself assiduously to the perusal of a book. But the Yankee was terribly restless and pertinacious; and at length in sheer self-defense, closed his book and turned toward his persecutor, who instantly renewed the attack with : Subscribers for ten copies will be entitled to a patent adjustable bootjack, which can also be 'used as a corkscrew, a coffee mill, or inkstand.

STEAMSHIPS OF THE As to "pool:" before a pool is formed, and when stocks are low and dull, some firm will otten buy 10,000 shares of stock. When it has risen 10 or 15 per cent, to some of their customers to form a pool of 10,000 shares at the market-price. The stock previously bought is put into the pool at 65—in other words, the firm who conducts the pool .have sold their 10,000 shares of stock to the'pool at a profit of 15 per cent., calculating that, in the course of the fluctuations of the market, they can replace at a lower figure. When, under the manipulations, of the operators, the stock has risen to SO, another pool is formed, to which the firm again generously sell the stock which they own. Now the pair is ripe, and it is time to look for a crash. The market breaks, and the credulous find themselves bankrupt. It, does not signify that they have been caught  same trap before. The temptation is too strong to resist, and the hope of success lures them to fresh disasters.

A vest singular incident occurred a short time ago in Marysville, California. A gentleman wishing to have a photograph taken of his two boys, went with them to a photograph gallery. While " fixing up" the children a little, preparatory to the operation, he asked for a basin of water to wash their faces. He was directed to another room, and on returning the boys sat for their pictures. But tbe operator presently noticed that the lads were growing very black in the face, and on investigatioi* found that instead of water they had used a basin of chemioals prepared for pictures. It was too late to remedy the accident. This suggests a novel and perhaps efficacious method of " reconstruction !" It would be permanent enough to make a good beginning. HEW YORK. J.

It would be a blessing if disaster would have the effect to show unsophisticated stock gamblers their folly, and turn them fruin their present habits of idleness to paths of industry, where they would be of some service to their fellow-mortals; but nothing but poverty will keep them from speculating, and when their bones are picked clean, they will still hang like spectres around the fatal precincts of the Stock BoardB. They seem to become totally unfitted for business or any honorable or useful sphere of life. What they need is some compulsory course of discipline, like that prescribed in the Asylum for Inebriates.

Tub' Last Snake Story.—The Charleston (111) Plaindealer tolls this snake story : On Saturday of last week Mr. James Gilbert, one of our subscribers, came to the office for his paper, and while here related an incident as having occurred the day previous. On Friday he and his brother George were engaged in cutting wood, one mile and a half south of the town.— About ten o'clock in the morning Mr. Crowder came along, and said that he was looking for his cow, a' stripper. young meu replied that they had noticed her about the clearing.— Mr. Crowder soon found her and drove her home, the cow bellowing and calling as though sho had lost a calf. At three o'clock in tho afternoon the cow came back, hut appeared very restless, walking about and lowing continuously. Presently she wa3 heard to lay down when everything became quiet. The woodsmen, having their curiosities cxeitod by tho cow's strange conduct, stopped their work and went to whore the cow was last heard. Imagine their surprise upon finding her suckling a large greasy-looking snake, at tho same time fondly licking it with her tongue. The cow vtas made to get up, and as sho walked away the snake followed after her. Clubs were procured and the snake killed. It was a species unknown to our informant, measuring full six inches around the body, and five feet seven and one half inches in length. How to Bur Meat.—Dr. Lctheby gives the following description of good and bad meats, with which his duties as sanitary officer in tjio eity of London have required him to be very familiar : Good meat is neither of a pale pinkish nor a deep purple tint. It has a marbled appearance, from a ramification of little v,eina of intercellular fat; and the firm, hard and suety, and is never.wet, whereas that of diseased meat is soft and watery. The feel of healthy meat is elastic, aud hardly moistens the finger. Diseased meat is soft and wet. Good meat has little odor, and this is not disagreeable, whereas diseased meat smells faint aud cadaverous. Good meat bears cooking without much shrinking or losing much of its weight; but bad meat shrivels up and boils to pieces, this is due to the larger proportion of watery and gelatinous material, and the absence of fat and true muscular substance in the meat. Under the micrascope the fibre should be clcar and well defined, and free from infusorial auimaloul®; while that of diseased meat is Sodden and tupid, as if it had been soaked in water; tho transverso streaks are indistinct and wide apart, and animalculte abound in it. ii.;jES.
