We are-informed by a gentleman who lives near Coburn's Store, in Unioi County, of a very painful circumstance which happened in that neighliorbood, a short time since. Two of Mr. K. Lowtharp's sons one about four and tbe oth er about six years old, had buen having diilla and fevers for some time. ' On their well day, after eating Uieir breakfast, Mr. Lowtharp con cluded to give them quinine, in order to break Uieir chills; but through mistake gave tliem something else, which resembled quiuine, which threw them into spasms, killing tliem both in HWorotu;A Wttkly Nnu.

He waits till midnight If before that time the man bows down his head and exclaims, Miraciou Allah !

AOmoam, in noticing a book of Henry Ward Beecher's called " Star I'apenv" which some American journals have puffed most vigorously, says : The egotism of soma men is ptuasaiit at least it is pardonable. In Eicurus it is delightful ; in Go w ley it is innoeent; in Addison it is quiet and sly. David Hume does not offend as when ha praises himself, still leas doos Sir Walter Scott ; Umugh Souihey'a vanity is disagreenble because it is exaggerated. Tbe proud self-confidence of Sbakapaare wa forgive aa chnerfully aa the grand aeif-aaaertioa of Milton, which only SalmseiuB could despise. When I'opa dispbtaa ea us. it is But because be is egotistical, but ba cauag Its affecta to eonoeal bis self love. When buHon talks of only fiv modern "geniuses," and naoiea birmelf as one, we resent his conceit almost as much aa the profane impudence of Sir Godfrey Kneller. Hut among these reminiscen ces of egotism we might wander a long time. They have been suggested by Mr. Beecher's vol: uum of fugitive proa pieces, written with all the formality, and all tbe incorrectness of aa auia- teur. But the author'a egotism is his most eoa- spicuous quality. ' A complacent oonaciousi&e fellows him to all the shrines of bis admiration : -to Kennilworth, to Stratford-on-Avon, to Uie Louvre, and Uie National Gallerv. It is even more obtrusive in the figure-spangled essay on books, flowers, and JBhMHPxJh for adbutMandacratbouka, but sure- ly not worthy of publication.

Pro this rhapsodical, unmeaning book is a eoufes-1 vidence woiks no miracle to counteract our fel- aion that William the Couqueror might have walked over his casUea without thinking of Hen ry Ward Beecher ! as psrhape he might. The Clouds Drop Don tbe Dew. Tlie following quotations from lr. Well on jj dew u highly jinstructiye I Jiad often smiled' in the pride of half-kuowledge at the uiuaus fre quently employed by gardeners to protect ten der plants from cold, as it appeared to me im possible thnt a thiu mat, or any such llimsy sub stance, could prevent thcni from attaining Uie temperature of tbe atmosphere, by which alone I thougliftlicm liable to be injured. But I had leam?d that bodies on ihe surface of the: earth become, during a still and serene night, colder than the atmosphere, by radiating Uieir heal to the heavens I perceived immediately a just rea son for the practice w hich I bad before deemed useless. Being desirous; however, of acquiring some precise information on this subject, I fixed perpendicularly in tire earth of a grass-plot four small sticks nl orer their upper extremities, which were six inches above the grass, and form ed tbe corners of a square, whose sides were two feet long, I drew tightly a very thin cambric handkerchief. In this disposition of tilings, therefore, nothing existed to prevent the free pasisage of air from the exposed grass to that which was sheltered except tbe four small sticks, and there was no substance to radiate down wards to the latter grass except the cambric 'handkerchief. The sheltered -grass .however, was -found nearly of the aatne tenipcraluro as the air, while tbe unsheltered was five degrees or more colder. One sight tlie fully exposed grass was eleven degrees colder than Uie air, but the sheltered was only three degrees colder. Hence we sea Uie power of a very slight awning to avert or lessen Uie injurious coldueae of tbe ground." llunCt i'UmtnUiry Viyiics i'o.'.a'r Scientific Library. A Petrified Indian. While engaged in excavating recently, upon ' the Milwaukie and La Cross Railroad, near Schlesengt!rville, lows the workmen came upon the petrified remains of an Indian, and with the remains some singular relies of olden times. The body -perfoct, not having suffered by decay. His height, at the present time, would be con sidered gigantic, measuring seven feet two inch es. On bi breast was a plate of copper, on which we.reengraved'numerous hieroglyphics the meaning of which can bardjy be imagined.

Instruction inspires the beholder with its subject. Tbe ardour of youth ia temper ed by the diligence of labor. The relative posi tion and expression of each of tbe figures of the student and preceptor are admirably conceived. Commerce convoys to the mind impressions far difureat from those wa have realised from Uie contemplation of this subject. "A wise and thoagbtful uiaa, who comprehends tba uupor tnnce of his relations to-1 be world, is seated, with the globe at his right baud, as a fumiliar and essential object of reference, and other memori als of his profession arouud him. The man of thought and calculation, and wisdom and benev olence, ia the true and adequate expression of the ideal of the com mere of the present age, IWMechanieArta are suggested by the figure of a man in a recumbent position, bis sinewy arm resting upon a wheel, and a hammer held in his hand. The form and attitude are excel lent, and the head and fact nobly expressive of independence, thought, self reliance, intelligence. hope, and energy. War also reveals to the be holder tbe purest and most modern conception. i Firmness aud justice, not anger and ferocity, are the cbaracU-riaiica of the sbieftain, whose band is upon his sword, and whose every lineament benpeaks tbe consciousness of power, and tbe forbearance of intelligence, reflection, and be- nignity. These figures are of somewhat colos- I"1 proportions, the warrkr, the only one in a jtWing position, being tight feet in height ' -.

The best way I know of " hardening the con stil.utioii," is to Uike good care of it, for il is no more improved by h:irk truiUnent than a fine garment or new hat is made better by being banged about. journal of Health. Fishing .with a Stetl Trap, One of our merchants, who has an eye to Uie interests of the trade, hits invented a new mode of catching black-fish, vix : with a steel trap. It has proved itself so valuable an oeralion, Uiat all our fishermen arc providing themselves with steel lrns ; and the demand for tlie article is greater than the supply. The mrtrwmcnt used is of the old fashioned kind, with iron teeth clos ing' together. The modal ojxrandi ia decidedly uuique. The trap Is set and hatted, properly provided with asiuker, and let down into the water. An ominous click below denote the amusement at band ; the fish attempts to steal the bait, but immediately the trap tteelt tbe fish, when he is drawn up to the surface often three at a time, and at the rate of one a minute ! Tlie returns for one day's sport are reported at above one hundred ! This is certainly au age of pro gress and steel traps. Asm Javtn Rcy 'uttr. Sagacity of Sparrow;..
