The Miners Journal, at Pousville, contains,
4 graphic sketch of the new village of Shamo-
kin, and it's resources. We delach the follow
lng paragraph
Shamukln, as all The world knows--and ifthey
don't they shoulJ---is located in Northumher-
land county, abouI nineteen miles, or Iherea-
way, from the winding and beautiful Susque-
hanna. 1t is ihrring healthy lille town, of
some eighty u hundred houses, which con-
tain about six hundred souls, and is indebted
lUr lis existence, as il will be for It's ultimate
prosperity and wealth, TO lis coal and iron ore.
A large portion of The Town lots, and nearly all
she coal land in the neighborhOod, is owned by
The Shamokin Coal and Iron Company. This
Company, as The name imports, is the union of
two Companies. The charter was granted in
March, $40, and expires In 1857. The capt.
iIal Is 100000 The united companies own
ahGm 400 acres of coal and iron land, $50 Of
which are situated in Columbia county, and The
balance in Northumberland, on the line of The
Danvle and Poitsrile railroad. On Ihis tract
there are twelve excellent veins OF coal running
principally a distance Of three hundred and
twenty rods through the tract. varying in thick
ness from five feet up Ia eleven. aad IN eleva-
linn from i~o hundred Ia four hundred feet a.

kin region.

A Thrilling Incident.

The Havre Journal mentions amin
cident which occurred to some whale
fishers during a recent voyage, which,
it observes, would be incredible if it
were not attested by the captain and
his men. Capt Deglos, of the Gas
tave, whaler, was fishing off the coast
of New Holland, and was giving
chase, In a boat with five men, to a
large cacholot whale, which they soon
came up with and harpooned. The
animal, as soon as he felt the instru-
ment, went down perpeEdicularly
and carried out a great quantity of
line The crew remained with their
oars raised, waiting for his reappear-
ance, when on a sudden they saw an
enormous jaw rise on each side of the
boat, far above the gunwale, which
was thus caught in the mouth of the
whale, and was ready to be crushed
In an instant.
The men were so paralyzed by
fear that they could not obey the cap
tain's orders to get out their saws
and work away at the animals mouth;
but gradually the jaws began to sink,
and, after giving the boats side ter
rible grating, disappeared beneath the
water One of the men tainted away
on his seat-Sat. Chron

BIGAMY-A writing master named
Wellington, alias Smith, at Rich
mond, Va, lately duped one of his
female pupils into hasty marriage
with him and went off to Warrenton,
N. G. to spend the honeymoon. He
had hardly gone when prior wife
came on posthaste from the North in
search of him; whereupon he was
overhauled, brought back to Rich
mond, and put in snug place. He
is likely to escape from punishment,
however, on the plea that he had an
other wife when he married No. l,
and was therefore not legally married
to her at all, but perfectly free to form
new engagements. He will, how
ever, be tried for swindling and false
pretences. His two wives are in
great distress.
MoraI-Never marry in haste one
of whom you know nothing but what
he Cor she) tells you. A hurried
marriage with stranger is a very
poor disguise for sednuction.-B.

The Cost of a Frolic.

A very serious affair occurred
at Washington on the evening of
the last day of October. A party
of young individuals determined to
amuse themselves by frolic ofsteal-
ing cabbages, and accordingly vent
ured upon the premises of a gardener
near the city, who expecting some
thig of the kind on Holly Eve" laid
in wait for the aggressors, and fired a
gun, which severely wounded one
of the persons engaged in the sport
Finding the individual severely
wounded, the party retired to dwell
ling adjacent, when strange to tell, an
examination disclosed the fact that the
sufferer was y0ung girl, dressed IN
mems clotheS!-Ib.

Tobacco Remedy for Arsenic.-A young lady
in New Hampshire fell into the mistake, so often
committed, of eating portion ofarsenic which had
been prepared for the destruction ofrats. Pain
full symptoms soon led to the inquiry; and her mis-
take was discovered. An elderly lady who was
present, advised that she should be made TO vont
as speedily as possible; as she had always felt a
perfect loathing for tobacco in every shape, it
supposed that this would at once effect the pur-
pose A pipe was used, but without producing a
nausea. She next chewed large portion of
strong tobacco, and swallowed the juice, and that
even without sensation Of disgust.
A strong decoction was then made of hot water,
of which she drank perhaps half pint. Still
there neitheir nausea nor dizziness, nor did it
operate at all, either as an emetic or cathartc
The painful sensations at her stomach however,
subsided, and she began to feel well. On the ar
rival OF physicians. emetc of blue vitriol was
administered, and produced one operation. One
or two days after there was discharge of a dark
green color, approaching to black. No i'll conse-
quences followed.
Another case occurred in the same place few
years subsequently, in which arsenic was taken
through mistake, by sick person, and she en-
ployed tobacco with the Same success. She, too,
had always loathedthe article, but now chewed il,
and swallowed the saliva without producing SICK
ness at the stomach. No emetic was administer
ed nor any other remedy -SEiman's Journal
