H. 81 J. C. RANDLB, have been re.

Locust Mountain do.
Scranton ' do.
Council Ridge, (Pink fish)
Laurence (Red do.)
Trenorfou Semi Anthracite. ‘
The Lebigh, Mammoth Vein, Locust Moun-
tain, Council Ridge and Treverton Coals are
o'flhefirsl class, and are acknowledged by
dealers to have no superior. For furnaces
and all stoves with strong droughts, the Le-
high coals cannot be surpassed, being hard,
enduring and very pure. For ordinary do-
mestic purposes. the Mammoth Vein, Locust
Mountain and Council Ridge Goals, stand un-
rivalled; burning more freely than the Le-
high, making no clinker, and leaving less
ashes and slate than most any kind of Coal
known in the market.
As to the Trevertou. we can say to any
persons trying it, that if it, does not an-
swer the recommendation and prove entirely
satisfactory, we will take it back again ifde-
sircd, at our own expense, and refund the
money.

bring up my quadrant. He was looking
over the quarter rail, and I knew he did
not hear me, and the next time IspOke I
ripped out an oath and intimated if he
didn’t move l’d help him. ‘
. “ Ididn’t hear ye,” he said, with an
independent tone. _
No words, said I. . _
“I s’pose .I can speak,” he retorted,
moving slowly towards the companion
way. ,
His looks, words, and the slow, care-
less msnner in which be moved, fired me
in a moment, and I grasped him by the
collar. .
“ Speak to me again like that, and I’ll
flog you within an inch of your life,”
said I. - ‘
“ You can flog away,” he replied, firm
and unmoved ass rock.
And I did flog him. I caught up the
end of a rope, and beat him until my
arm fairly ached ; but he never even
winced.
" How’s that,” said I.
“ There’s a little more life in me you’d
And I beat him again. I beat him
my quadrant. When it came and I'had
adjusted it for my observation, I found
'tbst the sun was already passed the
meridian, and that I was too late. This
added fuel to the fire of my madness, and
.quickly seizing the lad by the collar, 1
led him to the main batchway, and had
the hatch taken’ofi'. I then thrust him
till his stubbornness was broken. The
batch was then put on, and I went into
the cabin. I sufi‘ered s good deal that
afternoon, not with any compnnctions for
what I had done, but with my own tem-
per end bitterness. It made me m to
think that I could not conquer that boy
—-thst I could not break down his cool
stern opposition. " But I_ will do it," I
said to myself, “ by the heavens. above
me, I’ll starve him into it, or he shall die
under the operation.”
After supper I went to the batchway,
and called out tohim, but he returnedlne
no answer. So I closed the hatch and
went away. At ten o’clock I called
again, I got no answer. I might have
thought that the flogging had taken away
his senses, had not some of the men as-
sured me that they had heard him, not
an hour before, talking to himself. I did
not trouble him again till morning. After
breakfast I went to the hatchwsy and
called out to him once more. I heard
nothing from him, nor couldI see him—
I had not seen him since I put him down
there. I called out several times but he
would make no reply—and yet the same
men told me'they had heard him talking
that very morning. He seemed to be
calling on them for help, but he would
not ask for me. I meant to break him
into it. “ He’ll beg before he’ll starve,”
I thought. and so determined to let him
stay there. I' supposed that he had
crawled forward to the forecastle bulk-
head, in order to make the sellers hear
him. Some of the men asked leave to go
down and look for him, but I refused.—
I threatened to punish the first msu'that
dared to go down.
At noon I went again, and as he did
not answer me this time, I resolved that
he should come to the hatchwsy and ask
fur me ere I went any more. The day
passed away, and when evening came
again I began to be startled. I thought
of the many good qualities that the boy
had, and of his widowed mother. He
had been in the hold thirty-six hours, and
all of forty without food or drink. He
must be too weak .to cry out now. It
was hard for me to give up, but if he died
there fr0m absolute starvation, it might
go hard with me. So at length I made
up my mind to go and see him. It was
not quite sundown when I had the hatch
taken of and I jumped down upon the
boxes alone. ,9, ~ .
A .little way ”ward I saw a space
where'Jsck might easily have gone down
and lethal. point 1 crawled on my hands
and knees. I called out there but could
get nonnawer.

and thought I could detect a sound like
the" incoming Of a tiny jel'ur Sli‘eam. At
first I could see ,nothiuir, but as soon as
I become used to the dim light, I could
distinguish the faint'outlines of the bOy,
at some dittn'nce below me. He seemed
to be sitting on the broken floor, with his
feet stretched out against. the. cask. I
called out to him‘ and thought he looked

And he answered me in a
tone—

eager tone—- '

I waited to hear no more, but hurried
on deck as soon as possible, and returned
with a lantern and three men. I' leaped
down besidc'the boygnnd could scarcely
believe the evidence of my own.senses.—
Three of the timbers were completely
worm catch to the very heart, and one
of the outer planks had been broken and
would burst in any moment the boy might
leave it,'whosc feet were braced against
the cask before him. Half a dozeulittle
jets of water were streaming in about
him, and he was wet to the skin. I saw
that the plank must burst the moment
the strain was removed from it, so I made
my men brace themselvts against it be-

called dowu with planks, and spikes, and
adzes, and with much care and trouble,
we finally succeeded in stopping the leak
and averting the danger. The plunk
which had been stove in was six feet long
by eight inChes wide and would have let
in astream of water of that capacity. It
would have been beyond our reach long
ere we could have discovered it, 3: would
have sunk us in a very short time. I

Jack Withers. Was taken .to the cabin,
and there he managed to tell his story.—
Shortly after I put him in the hole» he
crawled forward, and when he become
used to the dim glimmer that came
through the dead-lights, looked about for
a snug place to lie, for his limbs were
sore. He 'went to sleep, a whenhe woke
heard a faint sound, like water streaming
through a small hole, he went to the Open
place in the cargo and looked down. and
he was sure that he saw a small jet of
waterspriuging up from the ship’s bottom
He leaped down, and in a few minutes
found that the timbers had given wholly
away, and that the stream was increas-
ing in size. He placed his hand upon
the plank, and found it broken, and dis-
covered that the pressure of the water
without was pressing it inward. He had
sense enough to see that if it gained an
inch m ore it must all go and the ship be
lost, perhaps all hands perish.
And he saw too, that if he could keep
the broken plank in its place he might
stop the incoming flood. 80 he sat him-
self upon it, and braced his feet against
the cask, and called for help. But he '
was so far away, so low down, with such
a delse mass of cargo about him, that
his voice scarcely reached other cars than
his own. Some of the men heard him
but thought he was talking to himself“.
And there he sat, with his feet braced
for four and twenty dreary hours, with
the water sporting in tiny streams all
over him, drenching him to the skin. He
had thought several times of going to the
hatchway and calling for help; but he
knew that the broken plank would be
forced in if he left it, for he could feel it
heave beneath him. His strength was
failing him—his limbs were racked with
pain—but he would not give up. I ask-
cd him it he should not have given up
if I had not come as I did. He answered
that he could not have done it while he
had life in him. He said he thought not.

Sull’erlngs of Brown in Kansas.
The history of the provoking causes of
Brown’s. Kansas career are thus stated
by the Cleveland Herald :
John Brown had a son, E. P. Brown,
who, near Easton, that winter, (55—6)
was taken by the Missouri ruliians, and
confined in a store. Then it was an ex-
press, visited Fort LeavenwOrth, and
beggedthat United States troops might
'go to the spot and save Brown frOm‘ being
murdered. This was refused, and refused
too in compliance with , positive orders
from Washington. What follovv'ed ?—
Capt. E. P. “Brown was helpless and
alone, in the power of the Pro-Slavery
:men, that band of rnfiinus' struck him,
and he rose to his feet and asked to be
permitted to light the best man among
them, he would fight for his life, but the
cowards dare not give him that chance.
Brown then dared any two or three men:
to fight him, but the cowards would not,-
comply with that? request. ‘
Then the fiends in human shape rushed
upon the unarmed, defenseless Brown,and
actually hacked him to piecosrwith their
hatchets. A slaveholdcr, named Gib-
son, dcalt the fatal blow, burying the
hatchet in the side ofBrown’s liead,splijt-
ting his skull for inches, loud scattering
his bruins. ' Brown fell, andhis enemies
jumped upon him, while dying, Brown
cried out, “ Don’t kill me—I 9m dying,”
and one of the pro-duvery Indians—since
then rewarded 'with' a commission as a
United States Marshal—stooped 'ovegr.
the prestrate man, and spit tobaccojnice
in his eyes. ' , '
Thus died Capt. E. P. Brown, a Free-
Statc martyr~the son of John Brews-7—
known as Ossswatnmic Brown. "
From that time forward the- old man,
devoted himself to warfare upon Slavery.
He became the leading Free State par-
tisan in the Kansas troubles and was dire ;
terror of the Missouri frontier. An ‘03-.
pedition was fitted out‘to captors him
and placed under the command of Henry
Clay Pate. But instead of taking
Brown, the expedition was taken by
him i
The battle of Black Jack, where Pate
and his Westport rangers were whipped
and captured, is one of the unforgotteh
events of the Kansas civil war. When
order was restored in Kansas, old Brown
seemed to have nursedhis wrath, to keep
it warm, and to have longed for fuzthe‘r
opportunities to resent the wrongs done
him and his by the radians of Missouri.
For a time, he was unheard of, and then
the country was startled by the rescue of
Dr. Doy from the jail at St. JOsephs.--
Old Brown was the man who planned
and'cxecnted that enterprise 'Next, he
is reported to have led a company of fu-
gitive slaves from Missouri through Illi-
nois, and given them passes on the U. G.
R. R. to Canada. Now his ambition be-
gun to expand, and he found that his
mission was to turn upon the South the
logic of the policy of that sectiOn in Kau-
sas. He probably thought, that as the
South was in the habit of filibusteriug a
great deal—on its own account, it could
not logically offer an objection to a fill-
buster enterprise within its borders. He
may have imagined that as the govern-
ment did not interfere to prevent or pun-
ish tho outrages of Missouri filibusters in
Kansas, who were anxious to plant slave-
ry there, it' would not trouble itself if a
company of ‘Knnsas Rangers entered
Virginia to free the slaves there.

him. Johnson’s horse fell Under him, he
himself being deeply wounded ; in the
fall he lost his sword, his large pistbll
were empty, and he was tangled 'with' his
horse to the ground. Tecumseh "bad
fired his rifle at him, and when he saw
him full, he threw down hit gun" and
bounded forward like a tiger sure of'his
