A Total Wreck.

On the Ist of January, 1855, gentle,
nan doing business in this City, was worth
with what be had invested in business,
$4,000. At the same time he was
blessed with lovely and Intelligent wife,
beautiful and promising children. He
was surrounded by friends who esteemed
and respected him. His business was
lucrative and promised to continue so.-
Indeed, his position as well as his
prospects we're, seemingly, all that he
could desire to render bis happiness per-
feet How complete the wreck which the
year closed upon! The first misfortune
was the transfer of merchandise to the a.
mount of 81 900 to California dealer,
for which not one cent was ever received
The next were two successive robberies,
by means of which S25, 900 were lost
Soon after this, the unfortunate made an
investment in real estate to a large amount.
The next and crowning misfortune was
trip with his family to Europe. They
on their return, with S39, 900
in goods, on board the steamship Arctic,
and all shared her luckless fate! In set.
;ling up bis affairs, his real estate was
sold under the hammer at sacrifice of
$40, 900 making the aggregate loss to his
property during the year, $4,000, So
900 more than his assets. His friends
were obliged to make good the dedcien.
cy! Father mother, children, and for
tune, all gone-swept from the face of the
earth nothing left to show that they ev.
er existed! We doubt whether, among
The many wrecks which the past year has
there has been among them
one more melancholy than this.-N "

Life.

We bring into the world with US a poor,
needy uncertain life, short at the longest,
and unquiet at the best. All tho ina GIN
atoms Of the witty and the wise have been
perpetually busted to find out the way how
to revive it with pleasures, or relieve it
with diversions-how to compose it with
ease, and settle it with safety. To some
of these ends have been employed the in
stitutions of law -givers, the reasonings of
philosophers, the poets, the pains of labor.
ing, and the extrayagances of voluptuous
men. All the world is perpetually at
work about nothing else, but only that
our poor mortal lives pass the easier and
happier for that little time we possess
them, or else end the better when we use
them.-Cheeuey.

The Tavern License Laws.

The keepers Of all manner of drinking
are very much troubled
just now in regard to the probable pass
age of the bill to repeal the tavern license
laws. We understand that large sum
about S3000-has been raised by an
assessment, to be employed to secure the
defeat of the bill. In what manner the
money is to be used is not stated. Drink
ing saloons have increased of late years
with amazing rapidity and vast amount
of money is now invested in the business.
That some legislation is absolutely me-
cessary to diminish the traffic is general
ly conceded. The most obnoxious places
where liquor is sold, are the free concert
saloons, which, we venture to say, have
ruined more young men than any other
cause, during the last FIVE years. The
attraction of vocal and instrumental music
is employed to lure youth to these saloons
where they waste many hours of the night
spend their money, and acquire habits o.
beastly intoxication, which ruin them ir
body and soul We shall regard the
breaking up of these establishments as o
great measure of reform that will make
the heart of many parent glad, and save
many from destruction.

The Veto of the stroudsburg Bank.

To the surprise of the people of this
County, Governor Pollock, on Friday
last, returned to the Senate where it or
iginated, with bis objections, the bill to
incorporate Bank to be located in this
place. The motives that setuated the
Governor in this matter, are q mystery
20 us, as well as to the people of this Coun.
sy. We are quite certain the application
for the Bank was pressed with more u
n1Uinity aud eavDestness, on the part OF
she people of the County and their Rep
reseutatises, than any other application
IN the State. This, together with the &C.
kuOVledged fact, that a Bank, with q
ANAL capital-like the one proposed
was absolutely necessary to the business
interests of the County; and calculated,
KS il would be, to drive from circulation
the worthless rags-in the shape Of small
bills from other states-snd establish in
their stead sound and wholesome cur
rency.
We confess We are unable TO accouu;
for the interpositiOu of the Executive
veto
This is the only act Of Legislation ev-
CT asked for, on the part Of the people Of
this County, since its organisation, and
why We are denied measure which We
1snd so much il need of, is a question
We cannot answer.

A Mem Potato as Coming Out PRO.
fessor Mapes has received new Califor-
mia potato, brought thence by MIR. C. V.
Mundy, ofNew Brunswick, weighing three
pounds seven ounces. Its appearance
gives indication of being a good keeper
and of excellent quality The eyes pro.
trude like those of the Bermuda potato.
The gentleman who brought it from Cali
fornia remarked at the Farmers Club,
New York, that those potatoes were grown
at the rate Of 700 bushels to the acre !;
also, that the mammoth tuber referred to
will be planted on the farm of Prof. Mapes
who will report on its merits or demerits,
as the case may be, hereafter. Next fall
there will probably be as great a rush for
these potatoes as there was year or two
ago for Shanghais.

Wounds of the Heart.

1t is generally supposed that wound
of the heart of any animal would be in
staDtly fatal. In Bill Poole's case, who
died in New York lately, the bullet was
found imbedded in the heart. He lived
several days after the wound. The Lou.
isville Journal has been citing cases to
show that more extraordinary cases than
that have happened. A boy in Tennes-
see lived 81 days after his lung and heart
were wounded, and died from inflam alton
of the lung. An examination after death.
discovered five shots in the heart, but it
was the lung that caused death. A case
is related of deer killed by a physician
in Virginia, whose heart was found to be
trans6xed by an elder stalk. 1t had ap.
parently been there long time. Many
other instances are given but these are a.
mopg the most remarkable. they show tb a.
The bcart may be injured With greater
nrupity than is generally supposed.

The Emigration TO Kansas.

At this moment there are perhaps no
less than 1000 or 5000 emigrants wend
ing their way westward, towards the new
Territories. Every boat from the Ohio
river brings them to our Levee every
train from the East has one, or a compa-
Dy Of them, on board, while our public
houses are daily thronged by them. They

Those from the East helped on by Aid
Societies, and come in carloads together,
while those from the West or South, in
real emigrant style, drive through to the
promised land, with ox-teams and wagons,
and generally ego it alone"
1t may be safely calculated that Is, 900
or &c, 900 hardy squatters will find home
on the fresh soil Of the new Territories
this spring. Were it not for the fact that
provisions, even of the commonest kind,
are SO exorbitantly high, this number
would stand good chance to be increased
to twice its size. But settlers, especially

The majority Of the emigrants passing

ever, will 60 to Nebraska, and cluster to-

mind. The Kansas and Nebraska trade,

A Good Anecdote.

Upon certain occasion a man called
upon an old quaker, with due-bill for
twenty dollars against an estate be had
been appointed to settle. Friend Hop.
per put it away, saying he would attend
to it as soon as he had leisure. The man
called again short time after, and stat
ed that he had need of six dollars, and
was willing to give receipt for the whole
if that sum was advanced. This propo-
sition excited suspicion, and the admins
traitor decided in his own mind that he
would pay nothing till he had examined
the papers OF the deceased Searching
carefully among these, he found a receipt
for the money, mentioning the identical
items, date, and circumstance Of the trans
action, and stating that due-bill had
been give and lost; and was to be re.
stored by the creditor when found.
When the man called again, Isaac said
to him in quiet way
Friend Jones, understand thou hast
become pious lately
He replied in a solemn tome
Yes, thanks to the Lord Jesus, / have
found out the way to salvation
'And thou hast been dipped. Ihear,'
continued the Quaker. Dost thou know
James Holden!'
Mr.. Jones answered in the affirmative.
well, he was also dipped some time
ago. rejoined Friend Hopper, but the
neighbors say they didn't get the crown of
his his head under water. The devil
erept into the unbaptised part, and has
been busy with him ever since. I am a.
fraid they didn't get thee quite under wa
ter. think thou had'st better be dipped
again
AS he spoke he held up the receipt for
twenty dollars. The countenance of the
professed pious man became scarlet, and
he disappeared instantly.
