their veStry this evening.
The Highland Cadets will give an exhibition
drill Mt the promenade concert and ball of the
State Guard, next week.
A series of peoples concerts, such as Mr.. H..
7. Reed, of Boston, has been successfully con-
Quoting in Boston and other cities, will be given
by that gentleman In this city in a short time.
The UniverSOlist levce, tonight, in Mechanics
hall, claims its share of attention; and will,
without question, receive it, for the levees of this
society are famous for the opportunity the
offer for a pleasant evenings entertainment
In the municipal court, yesterday, Ellen Fitz-
gerald was held in 500 for trial in the superior
court for assault with dangerous weapon upon
Johanna Glynn. Richard Powers was fined SO
and costs for an assault and battery.
Further developments in the case of the ex-
tortioners Carpenter and Williams give evidence
that the woman has been a shOplifter with all
her other accomplishments. 1t is said that the
valuable pieces of lace stolen from Barnard &
Summers few months ago have been found in
her trunk, with other suspicious articles.
The mild days of the past week have aroused
the vital forces of vegetation from their winter
torpor. The buds on the maple twigs are swol-
len almost to bursting into bloom, and the ar
butus in some favored spots is already opening
its delicately tinted and fragrant blossoms. A
spray of it, the first of the season, with two or
three fully opened flowers, came TO us yesterday
through the kindness of our young friend P. W.
Moen.
At about two O'Clock this morning Emory +.
Jackson, who lives at Gouldingville, came to the
police office very much frightened saying that
Peter Durlce, neighbour had fired at him twice
through the window of his house. Officers were
sent for Peter, who was found and brought to
the station, in an indignant state of mind, VOW
ing that he would thrash jackson yet. From
what the officers could learn, it appears that
there were no shots fred but that stones were
thrown through the window. Durfee is an
lrishman and jackson a negro and the quarrel
grew out of some trouble between the two fami-
lies several days ago.

FIRE IN FITCHBURG.-The upper paper mill
of MeSSrs. Crocllcr, Burbank & Co., in Fitch
burg, was destroyed by fire about five O'Clock
Monday morning. The building and stock were
insured equally in the Etna, Hartford and
Phoenix offices, of Hartford, for S11 600, the ma
chincry in the Fitchburgionicc for $4,000, which
amount may cover nearly the whole loss. The
fire took in the attic among the paper stock,
and as a fire had caught near the buster the af-
ternoon previous, it may not have wholly been
eXtingushed at that time. The new fire alarm
was not fully in operation, as it was only ac-
ceptcd the morning previous, and was to have
been put into full operation next morning; vet,
so far as it did work, was very successful in
saving several thousand dollars worth of prop

evening by Mr.. George Tower at the Lincoln

that he has so successfully managed the large
establishment which he will leave the last of
this month, to follow the same business in the
new block on Pleasant street, opposite Chestnut

to have all possible enjoyment. The reception
over the large company repaired to the supper
room, where such cheer awaited them as only
Mr.. Tower can set out. Then a poem full of
happy hits was read by Mr.. Jones Z. Estabrook

Belle was radiant with happiness when
she returned to her father, and delighted
his fond heart by the change, for Belle had
been very quiet of late.
Jennie and Belle shoppcd and talked and
visited together for the next few DAYS, and
when the morning arrived, and amid Il be-
Wy of beautiful girls, Belle shone like a
queen, the bride was eclipscd, and delight
fully acknowledged it.
20, Bell = she said, Il long to have old
stoica! Dick see you. IIark there's his
step. Come into the next room now, and
be introduced. Don't wait till the car
riages come--it's an hou~ yet"
And Belle, with boating heart, swept
through the door and stood even as Dick
first saw her, only, in place of the gray
travelling dress, a magnificent white satin
fell in rich folds about her, and upon her
lovely white throat lay the turquois locket
that held Dicks golden curl. Upon the
beautiful head, crowned by its chestnut
hair, Il coronal of pearls added to the grace
aud beauty of an image that, shrined in
Dicks heart, was already an angel.
Belle did not look up, but she felt the
presence, as Richard Marcy came up and
was introduced to little Jenny's old school
mate. Then, as he held out his hand, she
raised her eyes, and laid her tiny palm in
his, and said

take about the travellinghags, Mr.. Mar

and then Belle made me promise not TO tell.
And besides, you didn't want to meet the
freckled schoolgirl till it WAS positively ne

The Disasters In the Coal Mines
During 1870.

The Pottsville Miners Journal Of the
2lst gives detailed statements of the disas-
ters IN the coal-nining regions of the state
during the year 1870, from which we ex-
tract the following:
Under the new mining law, which passed
ut the last session of the Legislature, the
coal counties of Schuvlkill, Eorthumber-
land, Columbia, and Dauphin were divided
into three districts.
From the reports of the inspectors we
CLEAN the following interesting statistics
We regret TO state that the number of
deaths and casualties has largely increased
over last year, and, compared with similar
statistic, they are almost appalling, in
Schuylkill county Mt least.
In 1869 the mine inspector was appointed
for the first time. under the act that passed
at the session of 1863. He commenced his
duties April /, 1859, and for the niue
months ending December 81, 1869, there
were 81 deaths in the mines, and 81 persons
were injured, which wasat the rate ofabou.
one death for 81, 800 tons mined, and AZ
400 for every person injured. Making the
same ratio comparison for the whole pro-
duct that year, it would have given "a
deaths and 1l5 persons injured.
During 1870, the year just closed, the
product Of coal fell off in the ncighborhood
Of 900,0U0 tons in Schuylkill county-near-
ly one-tifth Of the product of the former
year-yet the number Of deaths and also
other casualties have been largely on the
increase in 1870.
In the following counties, comprising the
three districts, the deaths and other casu-
alities in 1870 were as follows

REMEMBER, BOYS MAKE MEN.
BY MARY Il. TUCKER.

When you see a ragged ufchin
Standing wistful in the street.
With torn hat and kneeless trowsere,
Dirty face and bare red feet,
Pass not by the child unhceding;
Smile upon him. Mark me, when
He's grown he'll not forget it;
For remember, boys make men.
When the buoyant youthful, apirits
Overflow in boyish freak,
Chide your child in gentle accents;
Do not in your anger speak.
You must SOW in youthful bosoms
Seeds Of tender mercy then
Plants will grow and bear good fruitagc
When the erring boys are men.
Have you never seen a grandsrc,
With his eyes aglow with Joy,
Bring to mind some act of kindness
Something said to him, n boyl
Or relate some slight or coldness.
With brow all clouded, when
He said they were too thoughtless
To remember, boys made men.
Let us try to add some pleasure
T the life of every boy
For each child needs tender interest
In lis sorrow and its JOY.
Call your boys home BY its Brightness;
They avoid 4 gloomy den,
And seek for comfort elsewhere
And remember, boys make men.
