The earth to ho removed was thirty or forty feet in extent hut the paving, as it afterwards ap peared, did not extend so far as to prevent the free working of the miner. Os course ; the utmost anxiety was felt for his fate, which was mhch increased by tlie earth again, falling in utihc very moment he had , been reached by those on tile outside. The earth now tel! all around him, leaving him hardly room to move : fortunately, how ever, but little more than a foot of earth this time shut him in from the daylight, and tills was soon removed. The accident occurcd at about one o’clock in tlie day, and it was ten o’clock before the titan was got out. The desperate energy with which | ho wotked to rescue himself may be infer- ! rod from the fact that of thirty or forty feet of earth to be removed, though working at great disadvantage, he dftg through near ly one half of it. He suffered no injury front tlie accident. —Baltimore Patriot. ” •* \Yomkn.— I The following is a tine pas sage, but w o arc unable to name its author : —"As tlie dove will clasp its wing toil* side, and cover and conceal the arrow that is preying on its vitals—so is the nature of woman to hide from the world the pangs of w minded affection. \\ ith tier tlie desire of her heart lias failed.

This remedy was strongly recom- W and has proved availing in ■* vast number of cases. Advertising is to trade what steam is to machinery the grand propelling, go-a head power; aud yet there arc some per sons so blind to their own interests, as to ponder over a cent which yields them from a hundred to a thousand percent. Remarkable Death. —Jasob Snyder, Jr. was found dead in Hudson in the Slate of New York, nnd what was singular lie was standing erect, and held in hi* death-grasp a bottle of whiskey, which was extricated with difficulty- lie was a victim lo intem perance- The coroner found hi* subject standing, a* if in mockery of the levelling power of the “ Hattie Imp,” The fitlp FilEDtSlfcK, Capluiu Rand lost iu the Gulph of Finland, had ou board a cargo valued at £IOO,OOO, part of which was insured in this city and Boston aud the re mainder in Loudon. The vessel was owned by Messrs. Good hue A Cos ; and insured here for #16,000, which will cover the loss. Another Jonathan. —An old lady in the West of England for twenty successive years has darned stockings with the same needle; in fact, so used was the needle lo its work, that frequently on tlie lady's leaving the room, it would continue to darn without her. When the old lady died tlie needle was found by her relatives, and for a long time no one could thread it, nor could they discover what obstructed she threads, when, by microscopic observation they observed a tear iu the eye of it! .1 Cannon Ball was found last week, in excavating at the corner of Svve lc and Airy street, in iliAllorough of Norristown, sup posed to have been discharged from ts field pice Juriii” thcslHevolutioimiy War.

M-athimoxy.—When n young tradesman in Holland ur Germany goes a cmiriing, the first question the young woman asks of him is: ” Are you able to pay the charges ?” That is to soy, in English, are you abb’ to keep n wife after you have got her? IVhat a world of misery it would prevent if the young women iu all countries would stick to the wisdom of that question ‘. “Marriage is not made of muahroons, but of good round cakes,” is one of the pithy sayings hy which our ancestors conveyed the same rule of prudence. Great Chance or Furttne.— About thirty years since, Mr. Mobbs died at Islington, ami left a farm in trust for his two sons, both un der 5 years of age. They were to be well ed ucated. The executors concealed the will, bound the boys apprentice to the shoemakers, and never told them of their fortune. They have just discovered and proved the will; the properly has thirteen splendid taverns upon it; is iu Hox ton, Old Town ; and is worth aj,OXl,OOO. Fire. —We understand that the grist mill on the Brandy-wine, about three miles from the city of Wilmißgtoo, occupied by Mr. Cloud, and owned by the Messrs. Dupont, was enti rely consumed by fire on tlie evening of the 11th. inst. A quantity of grain was also de stroyed. We learn that there was no insur ance oil the properly. — Delaware Journal. -I .Ycic Idea, — Umbrellical notions are multifarious, but this, we believe, from the !

Professional. —The Philadelphia Ledger says that in 183(5 there were 3(53 practising attoruies in that of whom only 96 had busiuess worth more ‘than their office rent and at least one third of these 90 enjoyed but meagre incomes. Very inviting this for professional aspirants. “My son hold upyourheatl and tell me who was the strongest Man ?” ‘•Jonah.” “Why so ?” “Cause the whale could - hold him after he got him down.” “ That’s a man—you nccd’t wear- a night shirt any longer/’ •mmnto WANTS BETTER EVIDENCE:— ff | wmild rrfrr the pu'ilii’ to tlir nu llii ii i< tulpiiwrj letttr* puhhah'xl recently inline pejn-r and in the flood .Vamnriian ri-lauve in the 1 happy u 4 btniftriitjl effect of the •riminUtration of nolhrt lift- Pill* A Phoenix, Bitter*.
