SINGULAR SUICIDE OF A RELIGIOUS
MoNoMANIc.-The Lancaster, Pa, In
telligencer, gives the following particu-
lars of a singular case ofsuicide, in East
Lancaster, the selfmurderer being Ja-
cob Harnish, only II years old, who has
been much excited lately on the subject
of religion. On Saturday morning he
worked on the farm as usual, and at noon
unhitched his team, put his horses in the
stable, threw some hay down from the
NOW, and told another lad to feed the
horses. He then sent to the woodward,
took off the boot and stocking from his
right foot, and laying it across log, de-
liberately cut it Off above the ankle by
striking it three heavy blows with
sharp Ratchet. He then picked up the
dissected foot, threw it away, and COM
posedly sat down on the log. His moth
er, who was not far off, witnessed the
operation, but had not the remotest idea
of his intention until it was too late to
prevent it. His father who was on the
farm, was Immediately summoned, and
seeing his son bleeding to death, asked
him why he committed the act. In re-
ply, he said he had done it in obedience
to the command of the Saviour who
said, If thy hand or thy foot offend
thee cut them off and cast them from
-hee; it is better for thee to enter into
life halt or manned, rather than, having !
.wo hands or two feet, to be cast into ev-
fire" Surgical aid was pro-
cured as soon as possible, chloroform was
and every effort was made
o save the young mans life, but the
earful loss Of blood from the discovered
lrteries had been such that he died short
y after the arrival of the surgeons.
While the surgeons we're operating the
fleet of the chloroform passed off, and
young Harnish awakening, looked at the
nangled limb without showing any signs
# pain. He told DR.. Musser before he
lied that he was sorry for what he had
lone, though he thought all the time he
vas doing right. Until the commission
# the present act be has never been sus
'ected of any tendency to insanity or

BEYOND THE MIssIssIPPI.-This bool
is by far the best and most complete his
tory of the West ever issued, and is tru
ly valuable contribution to our knowl
edge of the rude lands and wild scenes tc
which it is devoted, and is singularly SC
inasmuch as no pen has made record OF
them before. While it carries with il
the physiognomy of plodding truth, is
as full of romantic situation and sensa-
ton as forty novels. The interest is new
er allowed to flag. All sorts of valua-
BILE information is sugar.coated in such
manner that one is wheedled into taking
it with as much satisfaction as though it
was arrant humbug. The reader is even
cheated into boiling pages of statistics
with as much appetite as though they
were mere romance. If we should at
tempt to give our impression of the book
from complete reading, which we were
unable to avoid after insanely commenc-
ing-we should say, while it seems as re-
liable as an Encyclopedia, it is as charm
ng as romance.

The election of the constitutional con.

day, and we would again suggest that
the people hold meetings in the several
towns, say about Saturday previous to
the election and there give expression
to their views relative to the proposed
amendments. There appears to be no
partisan feeling in reference to the cen
vention in any part of the State, and
those thus assembled can nominate can

| The coal field on the West slope of the ALE.
| ghanes, extending from the Monongahela to the
Big Sandy rivers, is by far the largest the rich
est and is destined to become the most valuable
in the world, In Europe, nearly all the coal de.
posiis lie far beneath the general surface and far
below water level Deep shafts are sunk at i'm
mense cost, to reach them; the mines are then
ventilated and then drained as they are being
worked, only after the most astonishing outlays,
On the Kanaw and collateral valleys, the coal
crops out of the hill sides in veins from s to -
feet thick, far above water level and can be
dumped into the cars by the force Of gravity for
merely nominal cost, and carried thence to where
ever il is needed. A few miles eastward of this
immense store of coal, on the eastern slope of the
Alleganies, are found inexhaustible deposits of
iron ores of the best qualities The Ches apeake
and Ohio Railroad, now in course of construction
from the nayigable waters of the James River, to
the river navigation of the Mississippi Valley, the
greater part of which is already in operation,
crosses both the iron fields and the coal fields, and
unites them to the seaboard on the one hand and
the Great West on the other. Nearly 1000 men
are employed upon this great work, and 1t will
not be many months before the cars will travel
continuously from Memphis, Saint Louis or Chi.
