The pas li'.mps ai"e lighted on an average ooce in nine :ay. We do not wot.dcr at this, taking into consideration tho small pittance that i appro bated bj Councils. Until recently there was l o appropilalion at all: but now the amount 1 uid lor liplitinji tke whole city of Camden is $9 P'-r nioiiili, and that is to be divided among eicht. . The policemen who received this amount are expected to Kent, kern in order, and put out the lamps. Tbey pay a boy $1 a month for light ing them, and have 25 cents for doing all cine that la required. Pour-fifths of the lights are in miserable order. Tbey have been reported over and over again, but it seems to be of no use. We think, tl the citizens would appoint a com mittee to wait UDon Councils, and requet them to give the matter a little consideration, it would Vavetbe effect of having the gas lighted every evcniug.

Several pri soners routined in the County Jull attempted for the third time to brent out on Tuesday eve ning. They were detected, and put in double irons. CITY INTELLIGENCE. For Additional Local Items fee Ttdrd Fogi: Wet Weather. Judging from this morn ing's appearance,- it is evident that the citizens of the ''Quaker City" are not yet to enjoy that pleasurable exercise sleighing. At an early hour the rain, which then was falling, changed to snow, which so earnestly came down lor a time that expectations were raised to the highest pitch ; Dut raised to be dashed down again, lor the scow soon changed into rain again, and from appearances at the present time, our city is not yet to be covered with winter's mantle of white. The season, so far, has been a mild one, com pared with those of preceding years. No doubt but that all feel satisfied with its mildness, not withstanding many are disappointed by the non-appearance ot snow. To the pjor, who in their poverty cannot eflectually protect them selves from the chilly, b.tmg winds aad vio lent, blustering etoiuis, it ts a god-send; and surely it is to this fact that all should look, and be content. Extensive "Bobbowing" of Push carts. David Painter, a glazier by trade, was arr -sled at ttxteenth aud Wood streets yester day afternoon, by Officer Bennett, on the charge of stealing a push-cart, which he was attempt ing to sell when arrested. It appears that Painter has been doing quite a business In bor rowing pubh-carts and selling them. Mr. Buck man, residing in the upper part of the city, lent him a push-enrt about the first of the month, and Painter took it off and sold it. Buckman has since been on the lookout for Painter, and found that his push-cart had been sold to a uiau in baiibora street, above Tenth. At the hearing, befoie Alderman Hutchinson, five or six men who had lost push carts identified Painter, and testified against him. When he was searched at the Station House a billy wa found upon his person. He was held in $'2000 bail lor the lur cenic!' of the pufh-cart, and $500 additional lor earning concealed deadly weapons.

Spring fleld (III.) coirespmidence St.Louis Republican. In the adjoining township resides Alexis P., a well-to-do farmer. He is a widower of twelve years' standing, and has attained the patriarchal ageot three score and fittcen years, llisfumjly consists of an only son, Frank, not quite of age, and three daughters, of the agog respectively of twentj-iour, twenty-seven, and thirty-two. Though in intellectual dotage, Mr. P. 19 physi t ally, for ono of his years, a very proper mau; hale, erect, an I vigorous. Uis large possessions have aroused the cupidity ot not a lew advanced widows. Indeed, he is regarded as a decided "catch," and strenuous elforts have been made to ensnare his atiections. But the aged gentle man, though sympathetic enough, i after tender deer. Haviug a liquorish tooth, or rather no tooth at all, bis preferences tend to the more yotitbtul of his admirers. Miss Fanny B.- (we suppress names for the sake of relations) is the daughter ot poor, but respectable farmer, neigh bors of the P.'s. She is a genteel girl of unsophisticated manner", but limited education, bhe had been taught to idolize tho wealthy man. The playfellow of P.'s daughters, bhe has trrownupwitti them and is of the same age with the youngest, to wit, twenty -lour years old. Strange to say (lor it is strange)? old Mr. P. has lulleu desperately in love with Fauny. His suit has been favored by her folks, actual nmriiage contracted, and nothing remained but the solemnization. Our informant, Rev. Mr. O-e, of the Episcopal Church, had been sum moned to celebrate the nuptial ceremonies. Although ho;Ul( to. the marriage, the daughters of the gay Alexis had made no opposing demon stration. On the day previous to the ceremony, the sou Frank exhibited a decided belligerent spirit. And here conies iu the romance. Frank declared, amid a whole cataract of profane embellishments, that his father should not bring such a young mother into the house. He swore the old mau should uot marry the iirl. Despite license, priest, aad inclination, there should be an eud to it; there should be ro marriage. How would he prevent it? He would show them about soon of the day preceding tho one appointed for the wedding. An undertaker irom Sprinr field brought a coffin toihe house of Mr. B. Frank took charge of it, and de posited it with suitable gravity lu the principal rFrauk then caused tho family meat-axe, a ghastly, horrible cleaver, to be ground and sharpened. Then he announced his design. He hwore (for Frank is a fast and spoiled youth) there should be a ftinoral, but no wedding. Reversing the order ot thiiie-s, he declared the wedding-baked meats should coldly turnish forth a funeral; that Fanny, instead of a bride, should oe a corpse; tbat his father might have a fune ral, but no wedding; tbat, atauding there at the threshhold of his paternal mansion, when she came to celebrate the nuptials, he would, With that tame sharpened meat-axe cleave her h2 yilual,0B. h Itave the opiniou that !bdi,P"7of vean presented ao inmost t" "ktacfe. andat. under theui- &CUVt!l"di?"1 ' hnTe ncUu"r Adding n'r i?r. 1 ad vtHPd discontinuance of further SffrDl8H The Khwas broken off" t ZVllZtZ: R? hr for lae ea...
