WINTER IN SPITzBERGEN-Th single night
of that dreadful country begins about the
30th of October, the sun then sets and never
appears till about the 10th Of February. A
glimmering, indeed, continues some weeks
after the setting of the sun; then succeed
clouds and thick darkness, broken by the
light of the moon, which is as luminous as in
England, and during this long night shines
with unfaiding lustre The cold strengthens
with the new year, and the sun is ushered in
with unusual severity of frost BY the mid
die of March the cheerful light grows strong.
Artic foxes leave their holes and the sea-fowI
resorts in great numbers to their breeding
places The sun sets no more after the 14th
of May; the distinction of day and night is
then lost. In the heat of summer the sun is
hot enough to melt the tar from the decks of
ships; but from August its power declines
it sets fast At the middle of September.
day is hardly distinguishable and by the end
of October takes a long farewell to this
country; the earth becomes frozen, and winter
reigns.

Rescue of the Men Buried Alive--Fun
Particulars.


Four miners were buried alive in the coal
mines below GAINESVILLE, Ohio, for fifteen days.
A correspondent of the Columbus Statesman
gives the following interesting account of the
accident and their rescue.
The caving of the coal bank, by which
they were shut in, took place two weeks ago
last Friday, at about eleven o'clock in the
morning The men had gone into the bank
very early in the morning of that day, so that
they have been shut out from light and pure
air for nearly fifteen days. They had only
one dinner, and after being shut up, found
the dinner of another man, who had, with
sixteen others, at great risk, barely escaped
the catastrophe. Ii is not true that they
lived on lamp oil They had but little of it,.
One of them swallowed little of the oil to
relieve his throat, which had become very
sore from drinking copperas water So that
the marvel remains of four persons rescued
after two weeks deprivation Of food and wa
ter; and not in a very bad condition either,
considering.
The excitement consequent on this affair
has been at the highest pitch all along the
Muskingum, from GAINESVILLE to MarettA -
There has never been less than five hundred
persons on the ground-all wrought up to
the most intense agony of excitement On
Sunday last there were over two thousand
people at the scene. From every farm house
along the road, eager enquiries are put to
every returning visitor; and GAINESVILLE has
been in an intense fever on the subject

DID You EVER Did you ever attempt
to pass quickly around close to building,
without suddenly finding yourself in the arms
of one Of the opposite sex? Did you ever
walk behind an old man with a cane stuck
up under his arm, without his stopping sud-
denly and running the end of it right into
your eye, seriously damaging that member ?
Did you ever ask the prettiest girl in the
room to dance with you without being told
that she was engaged for every setg Did
you ever wander into a place where you were
particularly anxious not to be known, with
out meeting some blundering fellow who
bawled out at the top of his voices How
are you, Jones" Did you ever accept an in
yitation to go to church with friend who
owns half seat" without finding it JAM
med full of the friends of the proprietor?-
Did you ever buy a cigar with the last cent
Of change about you, without seeing Smith,
who gave you one yesterday walking up and
greeting you with smile, just as you were
making the selection?
