Is Loafing Expensive?—The crowd of young men. who are graduates In the school of, Joaferism seems to be steadily increasing. How the creatures live, how dress, how they manage to Grave public opinion and carry a face uusuffused with a blush of shame, arc very difficult questions to answer. Yet they do all, and anchor themselves so firmly on their accustomed gazing pla ces, day after day, month after month, that not the llghtenings from the eyes of out-stared ladies, nor the thunder inga of disgusted men, can suffice to move them to other and more desira ble anchorage grounds. The gale of public opinion blows heavily against them, and notwithstanding the rocky ledges of disgrace are just under, them, they doggedly ride out the storm, arid * grow more hateful and ugly by reason of their existence.’ We often wonder if the professional loafer ever reflects that it would cost him much less to bo a respectable and industrious man. A first class loafer follows his profession at the xpenseofdays, weeks, mouths, years. His entire time must be devote Ito it. It costs him friends, health, vigor, comfort, honor, dignity self ropect, and finally all regret and consideration when dead. So says an exchange and so we. And this is not all. Idl ness,to leads vicc g immoratlity, and crime, and finally to the peniten tiary or. the gallows. It would be a hundred J fold ; better if every idle boy or loafer were engaged in some useful oc cupation-even though it be no higher than a hod-carrier dr street scavenger. It might *ave them from the peniten- tiary or gallows. Let'those who have idio boys put them tdsome useful occu- pation. A New Baileoad Project.—The Winchester (Va.) Sentinel. Hagerstown (Md.’j Jlifait, and other Virginia and Ma rylandpap’ers, report as under consider ation, with a strong probability of its early consummation, a project for exten ding the Cumberland Valley railroad up the Valley of Vlrelnia. Committees of Virginia gentlemen bavebeeu in consul tation for some lime, It appears, with the managers of the Cumberland Valley and Pennsylvania Central roads, and some of the members of the committees who have returned from tbe consultation, ex press themselves highly gratified with their visit and the prospect of securing tbe object they have in view. The Mail says “That the Pennsylvania company are in earnest in this movement, and are in'ent upon tbe construetion of a great trunk Hue up the Valley of Virginia, in competition with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, can .no longer be looked upon as a problematical; and that the people of the Valley are equally earnest in their desire to secure such a road is even more apparent If possible. Mean time the rivalry which has been gotten up between the counties along the com peting routes, In the matter of subscrip tions, Is calculated to relieve the compa ny to some extent of the burthen of con struction, and, what is of still more Importance to the company, secure to it the right of way on cheap and conveni ent terms.- This spirit of competition among Virginians Is a great thing to the Cumberland Valley railroad company.” Public Sales.—.

It appears on Friday night last, from tracks observed in the snow, and other evidence, a. large bear was somewhere in locality mentioned. Information was "'lmmediately circu lated 'among the old bear hunters, ami on Saturday morn ing, at an early hour, meu and dogs were on the trail. Some t»me after day light. Daniel Stake observed the animal at a distance, on the mountain side, and at once made pursuit, and when at a distance of one hundred yards, he fired from his horse, and struck the bear in tbe bead. He then dismounted and overtook the animal and after several more shots, dispatched h|ra* The bear was a monster, measuring not less than six feet. He was not fat, yet it was tbe opinion of all present that his weight was hot far short of five hundred pounds. —Shippemburg News . Fire. —Shortly after, two o’clock, on Saturday afternoon, those who live on the Public Square were startled by the alarm of fire. Smoko and flames were seen issuing from a building, in the rear of the Deposit Bank, attached to the residence of J. W. Henderson, Esq., and used as a stable and an ice house.— The building is immediately across the alley from St. John’s Episcopal church, and almost adjoins what is known as Irvin’s Row,” on the East side of the Public Square. Had it not been that the roofs of the adjoining buildings were covered with snow, a destructive confla gration might have been tbe result, as the building whs partially filled with straw and burned fiercely. As it was, the prompt attendance of the firemen soon conquered the flames. The fire is supposed to have resulted from some hot ashes thrown in a corner of the buildimr Religious —Ever since the Week of Prayer, a good deal of excitement, has been evinced in this borough on the sub- ject of religion. Jn the First and Second Presbyterian Churches, meetings have been- held almost daily and nightly, and they have been iriore than usually well attended, the audiences evincing much seriousness. In the Methodist Episcopal church (Ist charge), an interesting revi val of. religion has been in progress for some time, and it is said many have been already hopefully converted, whilst, oth ers have been awakened to a sense of their lost condition. We hope the evangelical labors of the pastor, Rev Mr. Pardob, may be abundantly blessed in the‘con version ol sinners. Throughout the coun try the subject of religion is just now receiving much attention. . Horse Thief.—A few days ago police man John Green received a pi in ted bill, offering a reward for a sorrel horse which had been stolen from the vicinity of Har per’s Ferry, Virginia. Learning that such a horse had been seen in Perry county, he started thither, and when near Bloomfield, met ayoung man from this town, named Taylor Morrison, riding a horse which answered the As soon as Morrison saw Green he jump ed his horse over a fence and took to the woods- Green aroused the neighborhood, and chase was given. Bglng sorely pres sed, after a chase of four or five miles, Morrison abandoned his horse in the mountain arid took to bis feet. He was finally captured at thelowerend of Perry county, near Bridgeport, and lodged in the Perry couqty jail. Prosperous. —Speaking of the Me- chanicsburg Paper Mill, the Journal says: We are glad to learn that the Com pany is in a most flourishing condition. The Mill has been running to most capacity for a long time-day and, night—and is now turning out six tons of straw board every twenty-four hours, which meets with a ready sale at the highest market rates, paying largodivi- 11 ’ dends to ( he stockholders. A large num ber of hands are employed at this mill, who annually spend a large amount of money among our business men, and all classes of our citizens will learn of the success of this enterprise with pleasure.
