The first printing press set up in this

Rev. Jesse Glover procured this press
by contributions of friends of learning

Stephen Day was the first printer. In

The third book published by him was
the Psalms in Meter. In 1761, the New

great Missionary, were printed at a cost
of £3,200. The title might be recom-
mended, on account of its obscurity and

Pennsylvania was the second State to
encourage printiuv‘. William Bradford
came to Pennsylvania with Wm. Penn,
in 1682, and in 1786, established a prin-
ting-press in Philadelphia; its first issue
was an Almanac for 1687; it was but :1
sheet. The first book printed by Mr
Bradford was a. collection of Essays by
Francis Bacon. It appeared in 1638,
and was called The Temple of Vlfisdoin.
In 1692, Mr. Bradford was iiidticed to
establish :1 printing-press in New York.

A Pic-1‘-l.ic Party Surrounded by
Fire in the Woods.
Last week, on Friday, a gay and
tltoiigliiless party of males and females,
sninc thirty in nu.-nber, provided them-
sc-.lvi-s with pulls and btiskctsrof all ca.
pzicitics. cigars, ginger-pop and luncheon
and jumping. into a railroad car, rode to
a station on the Albany and Boston rail-
road that was in the immediate vicinity
of one of the tallest of the Berkshire
range of motintains. This hill was said
to he covered with countless‘ bushels of
blackberries, all “(lead ripe,” and all of
the high bush variety, which are the lar-
gcst and the sweetest.
They left the station house in high
spirits, and. ma few minutes were buried
in a wilderness of that line and beautiful
fruit that they went out to seek.
An hour of perscvering picking resul-
ted in filling every vessel they had car-
rled with them, and as they had gath-
ered at the spot appointed for lunching,
a secluded nook in a place covered with
verclure, watered by a little brook of pure
cold water, and surrounded on all sides
but one by beetliug cliffs, they found
themselves fatigued, wofully lacerated by
the “prickers” and thorns, their dresses
torn badly, and lianrls and faces deeply
dyed with blackberry juice, but with
keen appetites and pails and baskets all
heaped up and running over with line,
ripe fruit.
Down they sat and devoured their am-
pie lunch, lighted their cigars, drank their
pop, and indulged two or three hours in
songs, tales, dances and other pastimrrs.
It was known to them, when they first
started for the mountain that a portion of
it was on fire, but of the conflagration
‘they thought nothing, being entirely ab-
sorbed in their picking and amusements.
But the smoke grew dense, the air became
hot and stilling, the winds were up, and
the fall of an immense burning cinder in-
to their very midst roused the thouglit-
less party to a realizing idea of what
was in progress above around them.-‘---
Looking up, judge of their consternation
when they saw themselves almost be-
girt by a tremendous conflagration, which
had spread with nearly the speed of the
wind that fanned the flames and urged
forward the destruction! Their only
way of escape was through the narrow
gorge down whicii the little brook plun-
ged, and the flames were rapidly ap-
proacliiiig both sides of even that chance
of exit 3
Not a moment was to be lost! All
rushed instinctively for the narrow open-
ing before them, leaving b‘ehind them
more than half of the berries they had
picked. But they found the little brook
could run where they could not,and that
precipiccs, underbrush, no path, and the
stifling smoke that blew hot in their fa-
ces and blinded their eyes, rendered their
progress slow. And it was slow. The
ladies had to be helped at ev ry step al-
most. Overhead and nearly all around
wa.-; a world of fire. Before them was
just H narrow way of escape yet, and that
might at any moment he crossed and
they were completelysurrounded by a
belt of tire!
Eagerly Llicy pressed forward, the ston-
test leading the way, and all encouraging
each other as well as tlioy could-
The all grew thicker and darker.-—
The heat was dreadful. Sparks and
cindt-rs fell like rain a‘-out them. Their
clothing were repeatedly on fire. The
IT)‘.-If aijdcrucltle of the flames was almost
deafening and occasionally tkc fall of a
btiriiiiig tree crashed upon their ears and
added to their terrors.
At last, when some were growing too
weak to go ftirther, two had fainted and
had to be carried, and their condition
was momentarily becoming more and
more desperate and hopeless, suddenly
the wind chopped around and blew a
fierce blast up the narrow rivine the par-
ty were travelling! All were instantly
invigorated, relieved of the smoke in
front, and heartily encouraged. VVith ‘-1
shout they pressed forward again, and
in about fifteen minutes succeeded in
gaining a point beyond imminent danger
agid in an hour more were on their way
home in the railway car.
'l‘li3ir escape was a narrow one indeed
Not half an hour had elapsed after their
escape ere the trees and brush of the rav-
ine were in a blaze, and their ltrystiug
place was lost in a deluge of fire.
One of the rescued party told 115 “"3
story of his adventure with the rest, and
fairly sliuddered when he came to what
he termed the “tightest spot.” ‘Vh9l"’

A Betratherl Young I«Vomrm Shot
by Her Lorier.-—-We are called upon to
record another deplorable accident, resul-
ting from a criminally careless use of fire-
arms. On'Sunday night, Daniel M. Ar-
thur was sitting in the same room, No.
314 Seventh stree, with Catharine Des-
mond, a young lady to whom he was
engaged. Catharine at a small stand,
reading a book, and her lover was teas-
ing her and trying to transfer her atten-
tion from the book to himself, by extin-
guishing the candle. Finally all of his
food efforts having failed. he took a dou-
ble-barreled Ishot gun which stood in the
corner, put on a cap, and pulled the trig-
ger. intending to blow out the candle
with the air forced out of the gun by
its explosion of the cap. Unfortunately
the gun was lsaded, and the horror strick-
on man heard a loud report, and saw his
betrothed sink to the floor, bleeding and
dying. A full charge of shot entered her
right breast, and in spite of the efforts of
the physicians who were called, she died
yesterday morning about two o'clock.-
The unhappy young man is of course al-
most distracted. He surrendered liim-
self, and was yesterday morning exami-
ned in the police court. The testimony
showing no criminal intention he was
discharged. The dead and the living
were to have been married in about two
months.
This is one of the most melancholy ac-
cidents that has" ever occurred from the
careless handling of fire arms‘ The-nn-
merous accidents resulting from this
cause, which have been recorded in the
newspapers, would seem sufiicientto de-
ter all sensible persons from indulgm in
so foolish a practice. But they have ap-
parently no effect; and day after day
valuable and dear lives are sacrificed,
tlionghtlessly by persons who but poorly
atone for their folly by long years of. re-
morse.—C'1inc'i7matz' Gazette,
K?’ It is estimated that the whiskey
drinkers of the United States could
build the Pacific Railroad in a couple of
years. The money they spend for whis-
key might pay for the grading; smokers
and chewers could buy the iron. and the
money which the surplus two inches in
the length of ladies’ dresses cost, would
supply the locomotives.

" La me!” sighed Mrs. Parting-

amiea of death for three mortal weeks;

nology in the left hemisphere of the brain

the left ventilator of the heart. This
gave me an inflammation to the borax,
and now I'm sick with the chloroform

of health, particularly when you are sick.’
Little to Do.—-The Cleveland Plain-
dealer says, an athletic specimen of a
man from the Emerald Isle called into
the counting-room of one of the River
street merchants. He took off his hat to
make his best bow.
" The top of the mornin’ to ye, Mis-
ther P , I've been told ye’re in

"I've but little to do,” replied P--—,
with mercantile gravity,
' "I'm the very boy lbr yees. It's but
little I care about doin’-—sure its the mon-_
ey I'm afther." ‘
The naive reply procured him a situa-
[I01].
Louis Napoleon and the Slfltan
Descended from American An-
cestors.
The past history of the families of
Louis Napoleon and the Sultan of Titr-
key is full of interesting and marvellous
incidents; some of which are, probably.
not generally known to our readers.-
These two monarchs, now so cordially
united in the struggle to maintain the In-
tegrity of the Ottoman empire, are both
grandsons of American ladiea. These la-
dies were born and raised in tho same
neighborhood, on the island of Martin-
ique, one of the West Indies. They
were of the French origin, and compan-
ions and intimate friends in childhood and
youth. They were Josephine Tascher
and a Miss S-—-—
- The history of Josephine is generally
known. She went to France, and was
married to M. do Beauharuair, by whom
she had one son, Eugene, and a daugh-
ter, Hortense. Some time after the death
of Beauharnais, Josephine was married
to apoleon Bonaparte,:ind became Ern-
press of France. Her daughter, Hor-
tense, was married to Louis Bonaparte,
tlien King of Holland, and the present
Emperor of France is her son by that
marriage.
Miss S. quitted the Island of Muniti-
iqne some time before her friend. But
the vessel that was carrying her to France
was uttackcd and taken by the Algerinc
Corsairs, and the crew and passengers
made prisoners. But this corsair ship
was in ttfru attacked and pillaged by Tu-
nis pirates, and Miss S. was carried by
them to Constantinople, and offered for
sale as slave. Her extraordinary beauty
and accomplishments found her a pur-
chaser in the Sultan himself ; and she
soon became the chief lady of the Sungl-
io and Sultana of Turkey. ' Mahmoud
II. was her son, and the present Sultan,
Abduel Mcdjid, is the son of Mahmoud.
, Thus the two sovereigns who now oc-
cupy so large a space in the world’s eye
are the grandsons of two American ere-
ole girls, who ‘were playmates in their
youth; and were as remarkable for their
beauty ‘and excellent dispositions as for
their varied and singular fortunes. Both
ofihese women, in the height of their
power, remembered all the friends of their
youth, and provided munificently for their
welfare. Many of the relatives of this
Sultan left the island of Martinique, and
settled at Constantinople, where their
descendants still reside, and enjoy the fa-
vor of the Sultan. The Sultan died in
1811, and their grandsons now rule over
two wide and powerful empires; and are
entering, as friends. and allies, upon one
of the most monotonous and sanguinary
struggles in which Europe was ever in-
volved.—-Pittsburgh. Post.
More of the Coal swindle.
We copy the following curious item concern.
ing the Coal Question from the New Haven
Journal. If the bitcrs do not get bit, in this
speculation we shall miss our guess:
Mussns Enrroiia :—In looking over the New
York Sun I find the following in relation to
toe article of coal, copied from the Pottsvllle
Journal. I wish you would have the goodness
to lay it before your reason why our‘ coal deal-
ers are charging such enormous prices for our
winter fuel. Last year, at about this time, I
edgaged my coal for the season for 35,75 per
ton, and was to have it from the yard at any
time and in any quantity 1 see fit. During the
winter coal advanced, and as it advanced in
price, every ton seemed to “ grow small by
degrees, and beautifully less.” The inhabit-
ants of New Haven have recently, in city
meeting, passed it law regulating the sale of
charcoal ; and I think {if they would pass an-
other one in relation to the sole of wood and
hard cool, they would confer a. favor on the cit-
izens. The following is the nrticle from the
Sun :
Supply of Coal.
Some of the Coal dealers in this city
and Boston have been trying to convince
the public that there is really a short
supply of coal this season, and that pri-
ces must go tip instead of going down.
The Pottsville Journal, the leading mi-
niug organ, fortunately, though uninten-
tionally, ‘we doubt not, " let's the cat out
or the bag,” in this wise;
“ The amount sent this week is 75,-
935,19tons--50,478.11 by railroad, and
25,507.08 by canal. The railaoad has
fallen off 1,8-17,09 tons from last week
and the canal has increased 447,17...
The total increased so far this year over
last is 394,666.17 tons.
The ezpcd-iency of suspenrling ship-
ments for at least one week during the
3/resent month is now in agitation
among our operators. and the unanimi-
ty that prevails among them in favor of
that policy, as far as we have been able
to learn, prove how. easily it could be ac-
complished.
VVe understand that the object of this
proposed movement, which may be con.
sidered reliably certain, is to .mm'z'~n the
trade abroacl——tlro:e who luwe laid up
heavy stacks of coal at /:2‘;-.h prices and
ltig/tjrezghts .- and at the same time to
check certain efforts being made nearer
home, to reduce prices to a lower figure
for the remainder of the season, which
would result in serious disaster to the
entire trade.”
-fir That’s it 1 There is to be a combination
to keep up the prices. Now, let the people
combine to bring them down. Let the people
economize and use the least possible amount
of coal, and “ the operators” will get sick of
their operations by and by. If there were a.
short supply of coal, there would not be any
necessity for suspending the shipments. Now,
the people can punish the nscality suggested
tln-oiigli the Pottnville J ournul—nd for their
own sakes should resolve to do it. It will pre-
vent such tricks being attempted another time.
