SINGULAR COINGitirNDE.-At a dressma koes in New York, three ladies haprened to meet, each of whom cane with the intention of procuring bridal attire. As they were personally acquainted it was untnral to re :veal the solemn fact that they were all en gaged to be married. After consultation lumber, they ascertained that they were en gawd to one man whose acquaintance they had made through his advertisements fur a wife. It is unnecessary to add that the en gagements were broken off—the scamp hay iug left fur Europe after obtaining all their smtilable funds—prier to the denouement.

POLOII3I,t LITERARY SgC7ETI . .—ThiS De bating Association met in the brick school house 'in Second street, on 'Wednesday evening last, and discussed the question— "ls party spirit beneficial?" A number of gentlemen who intended to take part in this discussion, were unavoidably absent; yet the 'debate was extremely interesting to the members :X the society and qtaite a number of spectators who were present, and was characterized by considerable warmth, and touch tact and ability on the part of all the speakers. After a very full and fair discus , sion, the question was decided in the affirm- I afire. For the first discussion of the so ciety, we think it augurs well, both as re gards the interest that will be taken in the f association, and its existence: and also the bringing out or development of the argu mentative rind oratorical powers of its mem ' hers. And for spectators, certainly nothing can be more instructive and entertaining than to listen to debates properly conducted, and marked with the general ability pos sessed by the members of this society. On adjourning, the association determined to hold its next meeting in the school house, on Wednesday evening, Dec. 31, 185 G, and se lected as the question for debsto--"Is it wrong for a Government to deprive a wilful murderer of lifer" Ctrs citizens will bear this discussion in mind, and we have no doubt that all who attend will be much pleased. The society desires the presence of all the ; ladies who can make it convenient to listen.' They will be amused, and no doubt in structed. The gentlemen debaters all say that their subjects will by well considered, and that they will be particul„;.rly eloquent on the neat occasion. Ilommns A appears that there are still highway rubbers lurking in this vi cinity who conduct their operations with darlitg boldness. On Saturday evening last a Mr. Albright, of Maytuwn, was robbed of all the money in his possession. .11e was met by fonr men, on the Columbia & Mari etta turnpike, knocked down, and his pock ets inspected and divested of their contents. They only obtained ahunt four dollars for this villainy. On Tuesday morning last, J. Irouston Mifflin, carriage was stopped on it way to No orwoud, his residence, about i one mile from this place. Mr. Militia, starting on a visit to Philadelphia., left ' orders with his boy to meet him With the carriage lucre, it being his intention to come up in the night line. Detained in the city longer than he expected, he did not arrive here that morning. The boy started home, and when about half a mile from our town, mai saluted by two men, who peremp torily ordered him to "deliver." One seized the horse's heal, and the other mounted to the carriage and asked for Mr. M.—The boy replied that he was nut present, that he had nothing himself, &c. After a careful look to see that the boy was truthful itt his state ment, the robbers permitted him to go nn his journey. Their intention was evidently to rob Mr. Mifflin, who we trust, will be ready to give them a cordial reception the next time they make an attempt.

My object, in this writing, is to suggest to our skaters. the formation ofa Skating Club that might be productive of much good in the way of saving human life, during the sea.on, should accidental "break-ins" occur. Where such clubs are organized, they are regarded as standing institutions, and are governed by certain rules, the importance of whicit are self-evident.

It seems that the Operatives understood that they were not to work so late, under the new arrangement, on Saturday as on other even ings, and when they were preparing to leave they found the Superintendant had locked the door. They were not to be foiled, how ever, and the weavers on the second floor, girl. and boys, made their egress through the steeond story window on m the roof of the boiler house and out through the hack way. We are also informed that a number of the operatives quit last night before the mill stopped, ou thrl ground, as they allege, that the Superintendent was running over the I time agreed upon. We are sorry any thing of this kind should be attempted. The corm promise on eleven hours Was made in genii faith, and if the Superintendent attemps to work them over that time the Directors owe it to themsch es, the operatives, and the coin inanity, to insist that he adhere rigidly to the terms of the contract, or to discharge him at once and employ one who will. We favored time compromise upon considerations of expediency, (,Hewing best for the in terests eoneernt,!, but we cannot connive at any infringement of it by the Superinten dent or anyone else.--Erening E.Tre.s.v,lslll ingtant.

ANont Fa DEtni Inca lIANDIANo GuAN,,.! —A flintier named Silas Gravel, died iu Montgomery county, Pa., a few days since, in consequence of handling guano with his hands when there were some slight sores ni . ont them. The guano penetrated the sores and in a day or two after he experienced a sharp pain in 111.1 e of his arms, which exten ded rapidly to the shoulder, and front thence to the body, growing more acute, and caus ing the whole system to become swollen.— In this state he lingered in great agony for about a week, when death relieved him of his sufferings. This case and others similar to it whieh have been recorded, should warn farmers and others not to handle guano if they have even a scratch upon their hands. —Rochester Democrat. 4KELETO':: OF A GIANT FOUND.—TIie Wheel ing Times says: "A day or two since some workmen enga ged in subsoiling the grounds of Sheriff' Wickham, r.t his vineyard in East Wheel ing, game across a human skeleton.

It is a highly interesting and well written book, and will give joy, we believe, to many afflicted hearts. The au thor says in his preface: "As the recalling of the scenes of other days proved both interesting and instructive to the writer, he trusts that by the blessing of God, the charms of piety, and its worth in afflictions as exemplified in the case of the family of Claremont, may tend to establish the Christian in his most holy faith—direct and encourage the sincere enquirer after the truth as it is in Jesus—and persuade those who have not the grace of God, to seek it as for hid treasure.'!

WHAT VI tHIINIASS SEEK.—The Chicago Journal says that swarms of emigrants from Virginia are daily passing through on their way to the far West, in quest of rich lands, free schools and low taxes. And really it should not surprise any one that the people of Virginia are capable of appreciating the advantages of "risk lands, free sehools and low taxes." They know, fur perhaps not few of those now seeking homes in the West have been compelled to feel the need of the much abused free schools—and as fur "low taxes," who that has ever tasted, for even one year, the "groaning" under taxation which the people of this State are compelled to endure, under a mistaken policy, that will blame any one for seeking to get rid of it? It must be confessed, therefore, that the platform of .'rich lands, free schools and low taxes," has much that is taking in it! Wliceling ( Fit.) Timm EIISWAT. STATISSICS.--From the most reliable statistics that reach to the present time, the Protestant Episcopal Church in this country, includes, as far as returns have been made, the following, viz: 31 Dioceses, with 39 bishops and total num ber of clergy, 1566; 1903 parishes; ordained in past year, 79 deacons and $0 priests, can didates for ordvs, 208; baptisms fir past year, 24.01; coftinnatio”., 11,138; comm.- niennts added, 11;163: - present number, 1111,73:i; Sunday school teachers, 10,133: Sunday school scholars,S6,3s3; contributions, $1,181,000. The communicants added are supposed to be from the Church in England and Ireland, a significant fact, that emigrants do not lose their religion in leaving their coun try, when the Church looks after them.— This body of Christians is more numerous than here appears; instance, fifty parishes in New York make no return. uni.isc is Thtoncce.--Judge Hoffman, at the special term of the New York Supe rior Court, delivered an opinion in a ease which decides that an agreement to sell five hundred pounds of mess pork, deliverable three months after the contract, at a certain price to be paid on delivery, where the seller lls no Pork in his possession or under his control, and the intontl:!” of the parties is nut hi delivor the at',!fle but to pay the dit ferenee between the market value at the Pe riod of the contract and of its completion, is in the nature of a wagon, and, therefore, not enforceable in a Court of Justice. This de cision will knock the spots out of the "sell ers short" in the . city of New York and else where. Flom h o DE J.comto.—A correspondent Writing from Itiu under date of the 4th of November, says: The United States bleep of war German town arrived at this port on the 2d inst., af ter a pleasant passage of nine days, from MonteNideo.

He concludes w i t h s o me complimentary allusions to our countrymen, and wishes he had never seen any of them. The vessel is the brig Boston."

He was the originator of the Angli can or Puseyite party in the church of Eng land, and, though his early associate, Dr. Newman, and a vast number of his disciples, have gone over to Papacy, Dr. Pusey re mained in the English Church. It is a lit tle more than twenty years since he first created an excitement in the theological world by the publication of the Oxford Tracts, in which his great learning and subtle powers of reasoning were employed to sustain a theory of Church worship based upon the Apostolical succession, and attri buting an efficacy to the ritual of the Church of England equal to that claimed by the Church of Rome. Ou account of the publi cation of the Tracts, he was suspended from the duties of a preacher for four years. He was a man of great learning and unques tioned piety, and filled the office of Regius Professor of Hebrew at Oxford, and was Canon of Christ Church.
