Uniontown.

UNroNTowN, Pa, May 2l.- Your
correspondent has been playing the
role of traveller ever since he left Nor
gantown, and the end is not yet. We
have visited Fairchancc, ELEPHANTS,
Brownfcld, Hopwood, Uniontown,
Fleatown, Vancas' Mill, Frost, Brad
dock, and Dunbar. While at Dun
bar we spent an hour very pleasantly
at the residence of Rev. p. Il. Con-
way, who treated us very kindly.
We have seen several West Virgin
ians since leaving Morgantown,
among whom are: VIM. Burns, Thos.
Martin, Chas. Blosser, Mr.. Stone,
George Core, who is running a black
smith shop at ELEPHANTS, and Jos.
Gidlcy, who lives at Brownfield at
present, but expects to return to
Uniontown soon where he has pur-
chased a lot on which house is be-
ing erected. We are glad to add
that the most of "the boys" seem to
be doing well. A few that We did
not see we heard from. We had the
pleasure Of spending % hours at the
residence Of J. G. Robey, son Of AL
bert Robey, and son-in-law Of II. G..
West, Esq. He and his excellent
wife were very clever and entertained
us in hospitablc manner. Calvin
was so unfortunate as to injure three
fingers OF his right hand, recently,
while endeavering to free the cir
cular saw from q splinter, but they
are nearly well now. Miss Alice
Robey is sojourning at Calvin's at
present. 900. n. Is
We had the pleasure or dining,
last Saturday, with the authoress of
new History Of Fayette County"
Her book, which will probably be
issued soon, is far more reliable and
while smaller, is much cheaper than
the present 50 called "History." 1t
will net cost over one sixth as much.
Miss Custead is very intelligent
and agreeable lady.
Your correspondent spent two
nights in a boarding house at Oil
plants Furnace, that was vacated
last Wednesday night by :. French
man, who, ere he left, opened trunk
belonging to Danl. C. Bishop, Of
Bruccton, Preston county, with false
keys distracted therefrom silver
watch and gold chain, valued at $50,
So worth Of jewelry, So or 81 in cash,
= hat and vest out of q $50 subtitle
whole amount stolen was worth about
$55. Mr.. Bishop offers $40 reward
for the capture Of the thief, or re-
turn OF the goods. He is a man 5
feet 4 inches high, has black hair,
sandy mustache, large blue eyes, large
straight nose and pass among strang
ers as an honest we'll meaning fellow.
He is great deal sharper than he
looks to be.

The surveying party of the West
Va d. Pa. r. r. will no doubt arrive
at Morgantown in few days. The
Fairnont linden says: "The survey
ing corps under the supervision of
Mr.. +. w. Mcconnell now going over
the proposed route Of the w. Va. q
Pa. r. r. completed the survey
through town early in the week. The
line passes near but to the west of the
B. & o. r. r. from Flemingsburg
until it reaches the mouth of Buffalo
creek, from which point its course
will follow the river. Rivesville will
probably be reached this week. The
members Of the surveying party are
gentlemaniy and affable, and made a
good impression while here"

Coop CoLTs.-Mr. T. r. Evans, OF
this place, sold pair colts last week
aged four years for $3.50. The colts
were raised and broken by Mr.Evans
himself and are good stock. Good
horsemen claim this to be the best
pair Of horses of their age ever sent
from this county. The price received
shows clearly the profit of keeping
the best stock. There is but one
other colt in this section to our
knowledge that is anything near q
match for these and it belongs to
Will Smith, of Cass district. We
would be glad to hear from any Of
our stockraisers who can show up as
good animals as these.

Family Expenses.

After religion and politics there is
nothing about which Intelligent people
differ 80 radically as what they call the
cost of living. A skilled man in some
department of business will earn sever
al thousand dollars year, spend moth
ing OH wine, women or horses, yet always
be in debt. Some acquaintance of his,
with similar salary and large family,
lives comfortably, sends his boysto COL
lege, drives a good horse and has a snug
little bank account. There are mechan-
les earning two dollars day who COM
fortly feed and clOthe a family OF half
dozen people, while some Of their fel-
low workmen, married, but without
children, live meanly, wear shabby
clothes Oh Sundays and are occasionally
elected from their homes for nOn-pay-
ment of rent. The principal cause of
the difference may almost always be
found III the family larder, and the fam
lly wardrobe. Americans whether rich
or poor, know but little more about
economy in food than an equal number
OF Savages. Some families must break
fast either on beef-steak or lnutton-
chops; others Will serve just as much
meat and make it just as palatable at
a. iudlIcl VI tllc OK pcllSc Ol CHOICE cuts
because well cooked. Temperament has
much influence on the lardor. Excita-
bic people will eat twice as much with
out satisfying their hunger, as those of
better physical balance, yet they will
not do more work. Some wives will
save the price Of a ton of coal by renew
ing for one Of the children an old dress
or suit of clothes; some others, seeming
to be destitute either Of tact, skill or
inclination, must buy everything new
OF go without. Economy is science
which quite number of mon and WON.
on have mustered by close observation
and diligent practice; others do not seem
to know Of its existence. A few days
ago a couple Of ladies who had been re-
fitting their parlors compared notes.
One had spent just $3.50 and the other
nearly 81, 800 and the cheaper parlor
was the prettier. T. takes longer to
learn economy than to learn trade,
but when learned it is the most consol-
ing science In existence. no matter how
much or how little money its devotee
may have,

FisllInK.

Fishing was far earlier mode of
supporting human life than agriculture.
However far back in the stream Of tor
restrlal events we may suppose it allow
able to carry the date OF appearance on
the scene, still he must have been pro-
ceded by fish. The rivers, lakes, and
seas, when he first looked pom them,
must have been pe0pled very much as
they are at this day. There was as
great variety Of species, and probably
much the same inlnitude Of individuals
III some Of those species. And as a
savage population must be always sparse,
and in any locality few in number,
their supply Of food from this source
could only have been limited by their
inability to capture it. What the wild
game Of the forest and Of the open
plains were to the inland hunting tribes,
the fish of the fresh and of the salt wa
ter were to the riycrine and the mari
time tribes. Between these early days
and the first beginning Of agriculture
vast periods Of time must have elapsed.
First, because In these, and more or less
in all ATTITUDES. nature offered to man
no plant that in its unimproyed state
was worth cnltvating. The suitable
form had to he evolved or created by
long processes Of observation and selcc-
ton. This is why we know nothing Of
the parentagc OF wheat, barley, oats,
rye, beans, or maize, and why the trop>
ical bread-fruit, plantain, banana, and
sugar-cane have lost the power OF pro-
ducing seed, and 80 Of reproducing
themselves; this must have been a re-.
suit Of long ages Of human selection.
Nothing Of the kind had to be done for
fish, There 1t was as lit for human
food on the first day that man stood on
the river bank Of the sea-shore as 1t Is
at this day. Agriculture also required
implements to clear and stir the ground
and to gather in the crops with, and
these implements we know we're the re.
suit Of long series or discoveries, I'M
provements, and advances. Primeval
man, therefore, as we now read his his
tory, could not have lived by, or known
anything OF agriculture. Nor could he
have lived by wild fruits, for they are
not continuous throughout the year.
They have their season, and that brief
one. lie must then have lived by hunt
ing and fishing; and Of the two fishing
would be the most continuous and un-
failing throughout. the changing seasons,
the most valuable Of all qualities for
those ill-supplied times. 1t would not
he more difficult to hook, and spear,
and net, and trap fish, and to gather
mollusks from the rocks and sand banks
than to trap or pierce with arrows wild
game. Our immediate COMPARISON,
however, is with agriculture; and we
may be sure that not in it were the
foundations Of society laid, but in hunt
ing and fishing, and that Of these two,
as the great carniyors at first had pos
session Of the forest and the plain
against intruding man, fishing was the
main primeval occupation and means Of
subsistence,

TRI-W EEKLY EDITION
SO aIE DAYS.

Some days there are when life and love
Seem best Of gifts from heaven above;
Some days when sky and cloud and sea
Bring sweetest thoughts of life to me;
Some days heartaches but trifles seem,
And haunting care an idle dream;
Some days.
But clouds may cover the bluest sky,
And tears meath tile softest lashes lie,
Rough winds may rutfle the Slnoothest sea
Forever hid Is life's mystery;
Though lightly to us life's burdens fall,
The sorrow of others must sadden all
Some days.
Why should grass be green and skies be
blue
When life Is dreary and love untrue?
Why do sunsets fade and nights grow coldt
Why do friends prove false and hearts
grow old?
Ohl life seems cruel and God but dream
And death far sweeter than .ife deem-
Some days.
Forever I follow vision fair,
But never shall mine be its presence rare;
For fate is mocking, and hope Is vain;
And my heart cries out in desolate pain,
elias God no thought for the pain below?'
heart sore tried, shall we not know

given him and do not complain. Ihave
a fortune in the bank of England, but
with it is deposited will, and the or
phan son Of Ina is my heir.
"You have been kind to me, captain,
and in token of gratitude beg you to
accept my watch and cutlass, and this
paper, which you will carefully pre-
serve" So saying, he held out folded
scrap Of paper, which my grandfather
put into his pocket
Morning dawned---but the strangers 8
| eyes did not open upon it-they were
| closed forever. In the afternoon the
"burial service at sea-" that most
solemn of sea scenes, was performed
| and the shrouded body of the pirate,
with gentle plunge, broke the CLASSY
| surface OF the ocean, and sank swiftly
into It's mysterious depths.
1t was many hours afterwards that
my grandfather bethought himself Of
the paper In his pocket. He opened it
and read as follows:
"Captain Lane: On tho oaotoln point
of Nantucket, at hlgh-Water mark, is 4
| tall, sharp cliff. A quarter league due
west from that cliff is Il large, round
stone, and near the stone q thornb,isll
That bush grows in u very rich soil. {"
SnaThe duties Of his station kept my
grandfather long time abroad, and
| when he was in Boston about two
years afterwards, and having Il few
days Of leisure, he was thinking about
acting upon the hint of the enigmatical
paper, when his eye happened to fall on
the following paragraph III the old Bos-
ton Messenger:
"WONDERFULD LDISCOVERY.-A Mr..
John Rogers was breaking piece of
pasture ground on the coast of Nam
tucket, about month ago, his plough
share turned up stout thornbush,
sticking to the roots Of which Mr.. Rog-
| ers spied several Spanish dollars. Upon
this he went to digging Justify, and did
| not give up till he had hauled out coins,
chiefly Spanish doubloons, of more than
S23, 900 value. No doubt it was buried
by Captain Kidd or some of lis plratic
kim"
mo doubt" thought my giand-
father, as he put down the paper with a
slight nervousness. In week he was
again facing the storms Of the ocean,
enriching his employers by his skill and
toll, till intirmitieS finally drove him
high and dry Oh shore. There, in due
time, he died OF old age, leaving little
to his family, except The pirates cut
lass which three generations of boys
have used in their juvenile "training,"
and which, rusted and blunted, may
now be seen in The olllce Of his great
grandson, a lawyer OF New York.
