TAegreat fires in the forests of the north
eastern part of Pennsylvania, which ragged
feariully for twenty days and were finally
euhdued by timely rains caused immense
destruction, and some of the scenes d.
scTibcd are truly startling aud graphic.
One Of the local papers says the birds lefl
the burning forests for the underbrush
lining the Susquehanna river or flew south
wari. A dock of at least thousand birds
formed over the starucca Valley on Wed,
nesdly, described circle, and passed away
In a southwesterly direction. Very many
rattlsnakes came out from beneath hol
rocks and burning gorges TO die. Or
Laurel Hill some were seen to jump into
the sif In their frantic efforts to escap,
destruction. Some came down the noun
tain siie and hid beneath logs and rock
near creeks. Above Lanesboro scores o.
the reptiles, large and small, were seen u
mingle upon a rock, jump upward aud ruI
down the hill into the hames.

Forty miles .journey through a neigh
boring county has convinced us of the
fact that the crops (except hay) will be
immense. Grain, fruit and vegetables of
all kinds are in a forward State consider
ing the season. The wheat is especially
very promising. - Harrisbuvg 1slegraDh.
The above is gratifying intelligence.
In Chester county, the wheat crop will be
almost total failure, owing to the severe
cold weather of last winter and the
drought thIs Spring. From what we can
learn 1t will prove even less than half the
usual yield. Had the prospects not been
any better elsewhere, the prices in bread
stufs could not fail TO be vastly increased
In price. Corn and oats have come up
nicely, and although both are quite short,
yet With the advantages Of the late rains,
they must improve rapidly. Hay, like
the wheat 10 also failure, and both to-
gether are exceedingly dlscourageing to
the farmer as we'll as every one else.
For, say what you will, Agriculture is the
foundation of all our prosperity. When
that interest languishes from failure Of
crops or other causes, every other branch
OF Industry and trade is more or less d.
rectly effected. Fruit of all kinds look
well, and there 10 every prospect Of good
yield. Wef Chester Repiollcasl.

The Glrard Pres contains the notice of
n marriage in that place which should be
inmsrtallEed with Ailtonie epithalami-
ua. Mr.. HeRry K. Perkins, Of Girard,
and Miss Annie Harper, OF England, were
married by the probate judge of Crawford
county on Saturday, the 1ith ult. we
wish our friend Perkins and his bride, -
says the 0irsrd editor in unrelleved hum
drum,"a life Of pleasure and happiness. "
The terms are not strong enough. He
should have INDUCED In enthusiasm for
once and have allomed his pen to kindle
mith the tender theme. The bride is 19
years old. she crossed the broad ocean
and the intervening stretch of land at the
call Of love without friend to protect
her. She and her plighted lover had never
met.
Years ago Mr.. Perkins was In foreign
claim business in Vermont, and some busi.
meas transastion mith the young lady's
family led TO Correspondence between
the pair. From the frigidlty ofmere bust
ness their epistolary intercourse warmed
into friendship, and finally melted into
true love. Three years ago they exchanged
vows Of eternal fidelity, and the wedding
| day was looked forward 10 ae the fruition
| oftheir hopes. The ardent lover then re-
moved to Kansas, and was looking to pui
his business aiiairs into such shape a,
would admit Of his going to London tC
carry away his bride. But very severe
Illness befell him, and In hisrextremity h,
wrote for the lady to perform the joilrne,
herself. Her presencs would be healinl
to him. Trustful, constant, undaunted
she left friends and home, and arrived a
her destination to fnd her lover restore,
to health and impatient to fold her In hi
arms. In relating these thrilling Low
passages should not the Prass editor hav
warmed with the occasion, and In his ben

Arabian NiRhta,

Bolneo is so lovely an Island, says the
New York Express, that some have con-
iectured IL to have been the ecene Of many
of the tales in the "ThOusand aud One
Nights entertainments" whose beauties
wandering Arab adventures have treas
ured up in their bosoma and carrird
back to their native cities, where they
have spoken rapturously of the Wild and
romantic scenery of the woods and hills.
Approaching il from the sea, line OF an
dulating shore, clothed with the rich vsr-
dure of the mangrove and bea utifdl
shrubs, makes Its appearance. But on
drawing nearer,you perceive a slip Of beach
covered with hne sand, bounded by a
hedge Of the arrow tree, resembling our
ir. Broad rivers yield their waters 70 the
ocean, glancing up whose openings you
perceive rich vegetation bending over the
edge Of the streams, giving them the ap.
pearance, in the clear bright sun, Of long
narrow lakes frlnged with the deepest
green. The beauty of these magnificent
rivers, wandering down through rich
scenery, from the slopes of the mountains
of the Interior, can readily be conceived
by those who have at all studied the va
rious aspect under which nature develops
itself In the Eastern Archipelago.
The dense jungle, the tall trees, the oc
casional glimpses of mountain scenery
the fertile plain, and the Villages RAISED
high above the banks, inhabited sometimei
by a wild but peaceful tribe, but sometimes
forming the secluded haunts Of the pirate
who, with his countless wealth, leads TO
some months in the year qhiet life In hi
well secured home, are objects Of tarieS
interest. Ranges of mountains intersec
the island, now advancing to, now reced
ing from, the sea, all clothed With ricl
yerdure, and containing within thei
bosoms treasures of inestimable value
such as gold, iron, tin, &c. Nor has Bor
neo yet yielded one half Il is capable @

lovely spot, with its broad lakes, Its ricl

On the upper Sacramento river q novel
business has for number of years been con-
Quoted by Captain George W. Case, which
partakes somewhat of the romantic style
OF the border traders of early times, with
this difference that well appointed steamer
supplies the place Of the primitive canoe,
and the customers, instead Of being the
redskins of the forest, are well-to-famllles
settled upon and owning ranches along the
banks Of the Sacramento river. Captain
Case comenced trading betweenSacramento
and point few miles above Coluss about
eight years ago, by tsklng a small barge
load Of goods as be wished TO go, paying a
steamer to tow him up, aud then dropping
down with the current from house to house
TO do hls trading, supplying the settlers
with whatever goods they wanted, and
taking 10 exchange all kinds Of produce,
especially butter, eggs, hides aud peltries
anything that be converted into cash
and then re.converted into more goods
for another trip. Some four years ago
Capt. Case built small steamer at cost
of 5000, and fitted her up for the trade
which he had found 80 profitable, and To
enable him TO keep up with his increasing
business. The floating store was supplied
with an assorted cargo of goods, worth
from five to six thousand dollars, and
with the assistance of pilot and an en-.
gineer round trips have been made about
once In two weeks ever since. The set
tiers along the river find this floating
store great convenience, and one Of them
informs US they get goods from the
steamer just as cheaply as they could
from merchants in town. The Captain
and his steamer are anxiously looked
for every week, up or down, when be makes
his regular calls, does his trading and gos.
siping, and posts his friends on the news oi
the outside world. The call made, buai
ness transacted, and Gall ashore" given
out, they haul In the bow-line or sterr
anchor, as the case may be, and steam OF
to the next rancho. The enterprl.e Of
Captain Case has been we'll rewarded, as 4
deserves to be, for he owns a comfortable
| property In Sacramento, besides lis steam
store, fine stock of goods, and being IL

A most complicated case has arisen In
England, which bids fair to puzzle the
lawyers. A certain Mr.. Allen married a
women and she died, whereupon he mar
| lried another woman. The latter wife not
dying with sufficient promptness, he mar
ried a niece of the first Mrs. Allen while
his second wife still lived, and was prose-
cuted for bigamy. The niece of his first
wife being within the prohibited degrees OF
Relationship, his marriage with her WAS
void, hence he claims 1t was no marriage,
and therefore no blgamy. If on the othei
hand he was to be tried for marrying
within the prohibited degrees, he could
show that he had a wife living, and hence
hat was no valid marriage within any de
| free.
