His drunken snoring added nothing 10
quiet poor Ned's nerves nor did frequent
potations from the stone jug produce
this desired effect, but still mere in.la-
med his heated imagination.
He seated himself upon the floor,
looking at the fire and soon his mind
was hjled with visions of floating bodies
and disturbed spirits. Presently tn"
flames changed and instead CT 4 bright
chcerlu' light became of pale, sicklv
hue. The howI;ne winds shook the
building Ike an aspen Leaf. The door
opened, aad turning, Ned saw the body
yes, the very Identical drowned man,
stalking into the room. Selling the
jug, from the t0hl' he drew up char
near toe fire. Nd looked on and eve
ry limb was paralyzed with fear.
After having thoroughly dried him
self, he sought to amvsa his spectator
with sundry jigs and hornI'res, all the
while swinging the jug, which he had
empticd, around his head and grinning
most horribly. Satisfied with this he
dashed the ,jug upon the hearth and at
tackled the table and chairs; making a

his comrade Or to escape, every limb
was powerlpSs. He saw the stranger
seize the sleeping Jim by the throat
he saw his face grow black, his tongue
dart out, his eyes start from their sock
cts, he saw him CULVER and die. The
murderer then turned upon him; help

him with his CHASTITY grinning face. He
felt the cold hand upon his throat sud
denly his strength returned, and he
struck the man upon the face, staggered

ASBESTIS.

What is the name of the remarkable
stone of which cloth has been made,
that rcsists the action Of fire !
The Asbestus, a mineral substance Of
whitish or silver color. There are
several species of this mineral, which
are distinguished by different names, ac-
cording TO the appearance of each, as
iibrous aSbeStus, hard asbestus, and
woody asbestus; it is the fbrous sort
which is most noted for its use in the
arts. Ii is usually found enclosed with
in very hard stones; sometimes growing
on their outside, and sometimes detact-
ed from them.
Ttbrous, full OF fbrcs or threads.
What are its qualities
1t is insipid; will not dissolve in wa
ter; and exposed to the fire, it neither
consumes nor calclnes. The industry
Of mankind has found method Of work
ing upon this untoward mineral and en-
ploying it in making cloth and paper,
the process is, however, difficult.
IslH, without taste.
Was not this curious mineral better
known to the ancicnts than it is at pres
ent
The linen made from it was highly
esteemed by them; it was not only Better
known, but more common, than among
us, being equally valuable with the rich
est pearls; but the superiority Of all 9TH
er cloths to this in every respect, ex-
cept the resistance to fire, has caused in
combust;ble cloth to be regarded IN mod
ern times merely as a curiosity, but it
is still employed in chemical prepare
tons.
ncombusfible, remaining undestroyed in fire.
TO what use do they put it
In royal funerals, it formed the
shroud to wrap the body in, that its ash
es might be prevented from mingling
with the wood, &C., that composed the
pile. Some of the ancients made them
solves clothes of it, particularly the
Brahmins among the Hindoos; it form
ed wicks for their perpetual lamps;
thread, ropes, nets, and paper We're also
made OF it. Pliny, the Roman natural
list, says he has seen napkins Of asbestus
taken soied from the table after feast,
which were thrown into the fire, and
by that means better secured than if
they had been washed with water.
Naturalist, person who studies nature espe-
cially in what relates 10 minerals, vegetables,
and animals. Brahmins, Hindoo priests.
Where is the Asbestus found
This mineral is found in the greatest
quantity in the silver mines Of Saxony:
at Bley in Corinthia; in Sweden,
Corsica, and sometimes IN France, Eng
land, and the United States; also in
TMtary in Siberia.

A GHOST STORY.

1t was a beautiful moonlight night
when couple Of fishermen We're pulling
up net on the Bay "A water haul
this time, Ned,' said the one at the oars.
"No, no, said the other, 'there is some
thing here" Something dead though"
continued he after little pause. "a
log or a stump said the first. "a dead
body! | swear" exclaimed HI, comrade
as corpse rolled to The side Of the boat.
'Let it go, Ned.' "No, that wont do;
we must give it decent burial"
After some dispute the body was tow
ed ashore and fastened by line, while
the men proceeded to their cabin for the
night. This cabin was a small, rude
structure little above high water mark,
with large fireplace and several hunks,
and few articles of furniture, to accom-
modate the fishermen during the fishing
aeason. Jim Immediately threw off his
heavy wet coat and took "a little re-
ireshment' from stone Jug; but Ned,
who had no notion of being in the dark
i'll such close proximity to dead man,
proceeded to make fire; after which he
also, helped himself freely from the dir
ty stone jug.
Sitting down before the fire, the
nights adventure became the topic of
talk followed by stories of death, ghosts,
&C., until Ned was wrought up into a
high state of excitement. Jim, whose
nerves were not SO loosely strung as
Ned's, soon talked himself sleepy and

Merchants and Mechanics Bank.

A report has prevailed here sha, had its
origin in Blairsville or Wes,moreland co.,
that the above Pittsburg Bank had failed.
The Pimsburg Chronicle in alluding to
this matter says:-"W We can assure our
friends that the repor, is false in every
particular, so those who have bills on the
Merchants and Manufacturers Bank, need
not be the leas, alarmed about them or
abou, the soundness Of the institution.
We would advise those who have its
notes, not only to hold on TO them, but
get as many more as they can, honestly" ="
We think the suggestion an excellen. one.
The report was perhaps circulated for the
purpose of purchasing these notes at a
heavy discount from tine laboring men on
the Central Rail Road who have been
paid off for some time in this money. II
this is true il is indeed outrageous.
