Fearful Result Of a PRACTICAL Joke

The Pittsburg Journal mentions a shocking
occurrence in the Female Seminary of Mrs.
Hanna, Washington, Pa Several young ladies
wishing 10 have some fun converted enc Of
their number into q gigantic apparition; a
broom was firmly bound TO her so that It pro-
jected three or four feet above her head pill
low arranged as rude representation Of a head
and shoulders, was fastened 10 the top, and dra-
perry carefully arranged, TO make the figure
complete. The pretended aParition, followed
by her companions, entered the room Of young
lady, who was sitting with her back 10 the
door, stepped forward and leaned over the
chair-the young lady suddenly threw back her
head, saw the strange object, her uPturned
eyes became immoveably fixed, and she remained
motionless. The others attempted to rouse her
ard succeeded in q short time, but the change
from unconscious stuPor was to raYing mad
ness, On Tuesday she was much better, and
hopes were entertained that she would soon re
cover her reason. The only defence offered by
the culprts IS that they did not Htsad to frghten
anybody, but thought 10 excite laughter only.
As similar trick was played at Green Hil
Seminary, Washington county, about SIX months
ago, and 9 young lady SO frightened tIat she
was confined TO her bed for three weeks; and
stIn another. with the same fearful results, at a
Female Seminary, in New York; and the prin-
cipal of the Washington Seminary had mentioned
both these cases to her pupils, and sOlemnly
warned them against such foolish and criminal
tricks-iguorance of the fearful risks Of the ex-
pertinent cannot be offered an excuse.

Of dynasty or any other political revolution is
nothing compared with change in the people

the army, the navy, the cultivation Of the fields,

people, and without the people there must ensue
general collapse Of 2u our o~n institutions.
We are, however, rather desirous 10 recommend
the question TO the consideration OF others, and
especially of cur statesman, than to answer it

introduction OF Coa, into England.

When this fuel was first introduced into Eng
land the prejudice against It was SO strong that
the .'noxious" fuel a royal proclamation
having failed 70 abate the growing nuisance, a
commission was issued to ascertain who burned
coal within the city and It's neighborhood, and
to punish them by fine fer the first offence, and
by demolition Of their furnaces If they persisted
Ia trausgression- law was at length passed
making it a capital offence to burn coal in the
city OF London, and only permitting it to be
used in the forges in the vicinity. Among the
records in the Tower, Mr.. Astle found docu-
ment importing that in the time of Edward l, a
man had been tried, convicted, and executed for
the crime Of burning coal in London 1t took
three centuries to entirely eTace this prejudice.

sinking OF a tennessee Mountain

It Is stated that short time since, portion
OF Walden's Ridge sunk, with noise resembling
deep-toned thunder, leaving huge gap in the
timber that fringes the sides Of the ridge, ex-
tending about two miles in parallel direction
with the top. The gap in the dense timber aP-
peared to be about sixty or hundred feet IN
width, aud the fssure in the earth reached 10 an
unknown depth, in which trees Of the largest
size were torn mp, and enormous rocks, which
had probably lain concealed fer ages, were rent
from their primitive beddings and laid bare.
The foundation on which the mountain rests is
supposed TO have given way.
