PARAGON MNI.-Tlis has been and is still
the richest and most permanent mine ever work
ed il this county and manifests no sign Of weak
cniug. 1t has been worked to a distance Of g.
500 feet into the mountain, at which point it is
about 45O feet below the surface. OF late great
deal of trouble has been experienced from bad
airand shaft has been run up from the bottom
about 25o feet, and survey is now being made
to determine the point of commencing the shaft
on the surface to connect with the lower one
and thus furnish pure fresh air. and healthy
draft through the mine. The claim is at Bath
on the Forest Hill divide, and is the property of
Messrs. Breeze & Wheeler. Several interests in
the mine have been bought by the above gentle
men within the past few years at pro rata rates
Of about 500 900 for the mine. The owners
are not blowers about their mine and we are not
sure they will thank US for even this short no
tice.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 28-The Supreme
Court has decided the case brought by the State
Deputy Excheator against the Philadelphia
Saving Fund Society for 100000, unclaimed
deposits, which the Commonwealth claimed to
have escheated, on the ground that it consisted
Of deposits, the owners of which had died
leaving no lawful claimants to them.


The decision says the proceeding to escheat
the surplus fund being illegal, both in its object
and its mode, the judge at nis prius was right in
enjoining that the act is contrary to law, and is
prejudicial to the interest of society and the
depositors, and no one can doubt that an at
tempt to wrest from its surplus fund with the
apparent appreciation of the court must impair
1t and curtail its business, and might subject IL
to seizure of its deposits, forcing it either to
suspend payment or to impair its assets, by
sacrifices necessary to maintain its solyency

The BRAIN which is the instrument of the
mind, is governed by the same laws the re-
mainder of the body. 1t is supplied from the
same digestive apparatus, with same blood, and
! its nutrition goes on by the constant formation
of cells which make new brain, and the constant
removal Of the old which are worn out. If we
use the brain regularly up to its capacity will it
increase in size2 Most certainly it will. The
man who takes up any study and pursues it for
years, will find his head changing its form and
size. like other parts. But there is a change
other than of size, that ismore important--that
of fneness of organization. AS the brain is
used it gains power. Month by month we have
a slow but steady increase, and in the course of
years gains a mental power that is truly wonder
full Every child and every man and woman
has the germs of this high mental development,
but it is only the few who steadily employ what
they have to the best advantage, and continuing
this through years slowly attain the result. Not
only is the entire brain subject to these laws
but each individual part and faculty. One may
develop any special faculty Of mind 10y its con-
tinued use, as the sailor develops his strong
sight at sea, or the Indian develops his acute
hearing in the forest. man may develop his
higher faculties or his baser, as he chooses, and
be will very certainly develop them as he uses
them. The child who learns to control his evil
propensites, and exercises the good ones, grows
into good man woman. Whilst who
uses the evil faculties will grow into a bad man
or woman.


1t may be said, therefore, of every individual,
that he is building his spiritual body day by day.
Every good action makes an indelible impress
for good every evil thought or action comforts
or detaces the structure.-The Eclectic.
