so often that I had almost ceased to believe
in wolves of this descriptionat all. Unused
to personal combat, and embarrissed by the
novel cirque:Atom:es under which I found
,myself, I was standing undecided
_on the
landing. when . A ;caught that well-kaown
whisper of “Henry„ Henry," from the upper
story. They desisted from their occupation
.of examining the articles of vertu uport,the
.chimney-piece, while their fiendish - OM:Mil):
mums relaxed into a ttideous grin. One of
'them st.lato cautiously towards the door where
I 'was standing. Il3eard' hit burglarious'
feet, I beard the "Henry, Henry!" still going
un from above stairs; I heard my own heart
pit-a-put, pit-a-pat within me. It was one
of those moments in which one lives a life.
The head of the craped marauder was pro
jected cautiously round the door, as if to
listen. I poised my weapon, and brought it
down with unerring aim ; upon pis skull.—
He fell like c. hollock beneath the axe; and
I sped up to my bed-chamber with all the
noiselessness and celerity of a bird. It was
I who looked the door Ails time, and piled
the wash-hand-stand, two bandboxes, and a
chair against it, with the speed of lightning.
Was Mrs. B. out of her mind with terror
that at such an hour as that she should in
dulge in a paroxysm of mirth?
"Good heavens!" I cried, "be calm, my
love; there are burglars in the house at last."
"My dear Henry," she answered, laugh
ing so that the tears quite stood in her ey-s,
...I am very sorry; I tried to call you back.
But when J sent you down stairs, J. quite
forgntr,hat all; was the mornin;upoq which

One of these gentlemen :was at that n.o
meat lying 'underneath with his skull frac
tured, and it cost me fifteen pounds to get
jt mended, besides the expense of a new
drawing-room carpet.
It is bat fair to state the primary cause
to which all Mrs. B's alarms, and, by con
seqneace, my own little personal inconve
niences, are mainly owing. Mrs. B.'s
mamma was one of the last admirers of the
"Old Manor House" and "Mysteries of
the Castle" school of literature, and
her daughters were brought up in her
own faith: that Mrs. Radcliffe was a
painter u nataro, as it appears on
earth; and that Mr. gatthaw Lewis had
been let into the great seerect of what was
going on--as they say at St. Steplon's—"in
another place." So nervous, indeed, did
mg respected motber-in,law contrive to
made herself throughout her life-time, by
the perusal of these her favorite books; that
it was rumored that she married each of her
four husbands at least as much from a dis
ineliation to be without a protector during
the long watches of the night, as from any
other cause. Mrs. B. herself was haunted,
:st her earlier years, with the very unplea
sant notion that she was what I believe" the
Germans call a cloppelganger; that there
was a duplicate going about the world at
the same time, and that some day or other
—or night—they would have a distressing
meeting. And, moreover, at last they did
;so, and in the following manner. Her
mamma was residing for a few days at
Reswick, supping full of horrors in the
German division of the late Mr. Southey's
library every evening, and enjoying herself,
doubtless, after her own peculiar fashion,
when she suddenly fell ill, or thought she
was falling, and sent a poet-chaise, express,
to fetch her daughter, (Mrs. B.) who hap
pened to be staying at that time with some
friends at pepritb. The long mountain road

may be easily imagined that nothing but
filial duty would have induced my doppd
ganger to have started upon such a journey
et dusk—although it was sure to be a fine
moonlight night—and alone. Mrs. R. how
ever, being warm and comfortable, went off
to eleep very soon, like any boulder, nor did
Abe wake .uatil the chaise had skirted Ulle
water, and was within a few miles of home.
She had lopked carefully under both seats,
and even Into the side-pockets of the car
riage before starting, to make sure that
there was no other passenger: and yet there
was now a form sitting upon tha opposite
cushions—a fe.nale form, muffled ,ttp in

moonliglA, will; eyes balf shut, yet w,:th
look of baggar4 meanieg irt them, steadily
fixed upon her own. It w.s herself! It
was Mrs. B.'s double) The dreadful hour
„was come. The poor girl closed her eyelids
to keep of the horrid sight and tried to rea
ion with herself upon the impossibility of
,the thing being really there, but in vain.—
She had been thoroughly awake, she was
sure; the vision was not the offspring of a
distempered brain, for she felt collected, and
even almost calm. Venteriog to steal an
other leek at it, there it still sat, peering,
with half-shut eyes, into her face, with the
same curious anxiety as before. Not even
when they rumbled over Keswick stones,

the post-boy's arms, did she trust herself to
look forth again. The carriage she had
just quitted was empty. "There was

Coaarcrwr.—We last week stated, in no

road, that no trains but the slow lino would
stop at the Washington House Station.—
This was incorrect; 'the morning - train for
Philadelphia., leaving hero at 9.28, stops at
the Washington House to take up passen

and evening.
V A. NATIONAL FOUNDAY.—The periodical
movement of Government to establish a Na
tional Foundry having again been revived
and the scheme freshly agitated, every town
in the linion enjoying "unequalled facili
ties," as a location for the proposed govern
ment works, end having undoubted "claims,"
aro putting forth their respective advan
tages and advoeath3g their claims by public
meetings, committees, and general agitation.
As Columbia has always been prominently
spoken of as a locality fur the foundry, from
her favorable situation in the midst of an
iron manufacturing region, and her unri
valed facilities of communication wi,th all
parts of the eount47, it hecowes her citizens
to take proper steps in the matter. If the
establishment of this important national
work can be secured by any effort on oar
parts, lye should move at once, and bring to
bear every legitimate influence to obtain so
valuable and desirable an establishment for
our town. The subject is one which has
been so long before our people that we need
only urge open them to meet, and take
proper stops to have our borough ably rep
resented.
Ltntams.—The continued rains have swol
len the river, which now runs as high as
during any previous freshet of the present
season, and we have a fair prospect of re
ceiving the main body of the North Branch
lumber which has not yet been able to reach
a market. The rafts are rapidly dropping
in, and we anticipate a busy scene during
the coming week. Prices have kept down,
and all qualities of lumber rate lower than
for several years past.
I(l9—We acknowledge the receipt from A.
M. Rambo, Odd Fellows' Hall, of a very
liberal specimen brick of a new soap which
ho recommends as superior, and which, after
a fair trial, we can strongly endorse.
The properties of the soap are such as
to render rubbing the articles washed with
it, unnecessary, except in cases of extreme
filth. It must recommend. itself to the pub
lic after a fair trial.
Paor. GOTLESER.—This gentleman who
has settled in our town, and whose card will
be found into-day's Spy, comes very strongly
recommended by the most respectable na

of Professor G's talent and character.

GOOEY roe JUNE.—The ladies' friend,
Godoy, is already on hand with his many
pictorial and other attractions. Godey's
sphere is without limit, and he is eloquent
upon all important topics. See the present
number for "How to cook Pork," "Receipts
for making Rhubarb Wine;" "Face and

GRALIAMS MAGAZINZ.-Mr. Leland makes
Qrahaue for June as pleasantly readable as
is his wont. The number is sparkling with

Altogether a good number.
NORTIT AKERICAN MEDICO CIIIRIIIRCICAL

a work which should recive the patronage
of every physician. The present number

criticism, even were we CrittealVlra l i fied
or disposed.
First, we mod undisguissdly coveted, and
still covet, a little gem, "First Lessons in
Art," by a lady artist whose name we can
not recall. pioturn is
-quite small, but
the single
_figure is admirably drawn, and
the coloring is exquisite. It is just the plc;
turo for a modest private collection; without
display, but full of merit. • .
Several landscapes by Jutsum, and Bod
dington, struck us as the most finished and
autiful in the Exhibition, although Paul
Weber displays several of his happiest pro
ductions. One, with his unfailing and most
natural sunlight gilding the tree tops and
hill sides, a view on our own Susquehanna,
is very fine.
The "Portrait of a Gentleman" seldom of
fers any attraction for us, even though it be
a truly artistic work. Our attention was
drawn, however, to one in the collection at
the Academy which has for us exceptional
interest as well as merit. It is the produc
tion of Mr. A. Lawrie, well-known in Co
lumbia by his admirable crayon portraits.
The picture in question was a surprise to
us. It is the first and only portrait in oils,
by this artist, that we have seen, and highly
as we have always appreciated his unmis
takable talent, we confess to being unpre
pared to find his productions ranking first
in an exhibition where are to be found in
rivalry the works of the most highly reputed
Portrait Painters of the country. The best
portrait in the exhibition, this one by Mr.
Lawrie, (of C. S. Boker, Esq.,) in our opin
ion, undoubtedly is. The critic of the Sun
day Dispatch speaks highly of Mr. L.'s pro
ductions, and commends this very portrait;
although, with a critic's unswerving impar
tiality, he sandwiches his praise with a mea
sure of fault-finding- Ho complains of the
"Cool tones of the German school" of color
—one of the most attractive merits in the
picture, we think. The critic parts with the
artist as we do with an avowal of high ex
pectations of his future.
We cannot particularize the many pic
tures which pleased us, but must not neglect
a half dozen drawings by Darly, which
hang in the Rotunda. These careless, bold,
most graceful and natural sketches, in a
single tint, have a value in our eyes far be
yond that of the majority of the costly, fin
ished works in the Academy. To praise
them were presumption, but, with all the
other of the great master's works we unaf
fectedly admire them, and envy their pos
sessor.
We do our readers a kindness in advising
such of them as may visit Philadelphia
during this exhibition, to devote a portion
of their titno to an examination of its beau
tiful display of works of art.
DEATH PEON DESTITUTION AND EXPOSURE.
—A CRYING SLIAME.-WO have to record an
instance of death from exposure and want,
which took place in our town on last Sun
day morning, under circumstances which
reflect seriously upon our good name as a
community. The deceased was a young man
who arrived here on a canal boat, two weeks
since, from the northern part of the state,
sick and in a destitute condition. He was
on his way to Philadelphia, the residence of
his mother, and an unseccessful effort was
made, either by himself or some one for him•
to procure a free pass over the railroad. It
is stated that he applied at several hotels,
but was denied shelter, and that the High
Constable refused to convey him to the
Poor House, at Lancaster. The stranger
then found shelter in a shed at the out-let
lock where he lay exposed until bloodily af
ternoon, when his groans attractedattention,
and be was discovered in a helpless condi
tion. On information being given to con
stabl.e Hollingsworth, the suffering man was
immediately removed by him to the Town
Hall, where medical aid and every attention
was afforded. A telegraphic dispatch was
forwarded to the mother who arrived before
her son's death.
The citizens in the neighborhood of the
Hall gave unmistakable evidences of their
sympathy and benevolent feeling towards
the unfortunate young man and his mother,
4ad the expenses of attendance, and the re
moval of the body, faro, &c., were readily
subscribed, yet this but slightly palliates
the rank offence of leaving a human being
to die like a dog in an out-house, of which,
as a community, we are guilty. We do not
doubt that mid would readily have been ex
tended, and the young man assisted to reach
his home, bad the case been more generally
known, but surely out of the number cogni
zant of the plight of the stranger there
should have been at least one to make pub
lic his wants, and advocate, if necessary, his
relief. We trust that some measure for
either public or private provision for future
oases of like destitution will be made, and
that no such reproach may ever again be
brought upon our borough's good name, by
the heartlessness of some and the indiffer
ence of others.

when we are all.one people, from the south
east corner of Delaware county to the angle
which forms the south-east corner of Mont

a distance of more than twenty miles, you
might not object to makest short excursion
into what used to be the ancient municipal
ity of K.onsington. SS
It is sunday afternoon, and a brief inter
lude amid the daily deluges which appear
especially to disprove the persistent prophe
cies which predict the destruction of all the
earth, within a week's time—by fire! As
you have an old friend of nearly twenty
years standing who is settled as a minister
in Kensington; and has a church in "Marl
borough" street, it occurs to you to set out
in search of that edifice, which you have
never seen; though it's recent enlargement
and wonderful improvem e nt have frequently
been the theme of conversation in your
presence between young ladies addicted to
industry, charity and "Fairs."
After a walk of a couple of miles or so, as
the streets seem to be rather densely popula
ted, considering it is Sunday, it occurs to
you that a little geographical information
from the lips of a native might be of some
use. An enquiry propounded to a fireman
on furlough, who is enjoying himself in his
shirt-sleeves, and educating en infant in the
highly desirable accomplishment of walking
up an inclined cellar-door—elicits an answer
conveying to your mind a sort of idea which
you proceed to carry out. Following front
to Master, you turn down that street, and in
a minute you enter the "Frankford Road,"
and following this meandering pathway, in
flict a severe pain upon the upper regions of
the spine by gazing upward in search of the
promised "sign-board" which points the way
up "Marlborough" street. Yonfind no such
signal, of course not, because there are very
few such.mediums of intelligence in old Ken
sington. Raving passed the street by a
quarter of a mile, you enquire again, and
wander back to a. distant corner, turning
which you are safe in the straight way that
leads up to that handsome edifice known as
"Emanuel" church, in front of which you
soon arrive.
It is indeed a very handsome, and rather
imposing structure, prettily situated on a
green plat enclosed by iron railing. The
material is brick, covered with plaster to imi
tate dressed stone. The shape of the main
building is rectangular and oblong, from
each side of which, at the rear end, extend
wings, giving the whole the- usual shape
adopted by modern church architects, com
memorative of the sign which distinguishes
Christianity from all the other religions -of
the earth. The doors are closed now: what
ever has been done within those walls 'this
afternoon was quickly done—and being done
quickly :'t were *ell "its it Were dono well!'
Pursuing your way, you come to "Frank.
lin Avenue," a wide sea of street, having
little islands in its midst, on which it is in
tended at some future day to establish depots
(or markets) for the sale of provisions to
weary travelers. On this expanse you
launch out, and wander on, keeping the Sun
(which is feebly struggling with 'a 'watery
cloud) about on your "starboard quarter,"
thereby being certain that you are making
a little South of West.
Tired of a long journey up this magnificent
avenue, which offers little variety of interest,
and less prospect of an end, you turn into a
narrow street, the most pinched-up specimen
of mud anti weather-boarding, where the in
habitants all live out in front; in fact they
seem to ha; no other object in renting
houses than the pleasure of living on the
steps. This street, in width and general
condition, compares, not very favorably, with
"Bedford" and "Mary" in Southwark,
though the inhabitants are of superior grade
to those of the two last named stand-points
of vice and immorality. But it comes to an
end soon against a stone fence, forcing the
traveler through the oily "escape valve," to
the right; so you try another "short cut."
Seeing a "confectionary" open, you enter,
and propitiating the proprietor by the con
sumption of a "peach pie"—which is a cap
ital pie, considering thostuches aro made of
dried apples—enquire , the name of this
street, "Duke" is the reply. Not liking to
betray your ignorance, you respond, in a
tone expressive of pleasure slightly antici
pated, "Indeed! yes?" Though, until that
instant you are very sure you never heard
of such a street in all "Consolidation." At
the firsteorner, you leave" Puke" under the
delusion of making tt. "short out;" but just
at this moment you loose your temper—hav
ing lost yourself about ten minutes before.
Under the influence of this double bereave
ment you travel at frantic speed, and meet
ing a red-haired virago armed with a bit of
barrelhoop, in hot pursuit of a youth of
tender years, who is legging it at a prodig
ious rate, and sobbing loudly at every step,
you are no longer in doubt about the dwel
ling of your lost temper, and a thousand
other tempers which struggle for an outlet
on the countenance of that female. Calmed
by the sight, you moderate your speed, and
cautiously picking youi way 'amid the ob
truding legs of the dwellers on front-steps,
in a few minutes you are astounded, though
gratefully so, by, the second view of that vast
expanse, "Franklin avenue." After a lit
tle more wandering backward and forward
you find "Marlborough" sheet once more,
and following a bee line down that, you reach
Frankford Road. In half an hour more, you
are safe out of old Kensington' arldi, in the
absence of stare,bleas the elondefor iihappy
deliverance, and solennil/debnisinitoMake
no more explorations except tinder a cloud
less sky, unless armed with owa of Young's

The Governor of this Commonwealth is
giving some dieettaisfeetoo:lby withhading
his assent to a bill for the regulation of Id
surance Companies; and also a certain bill
amending the Usury Laws. A city paper
expresses ,r the hope that be will not longer
keep the latter enactment in doubt, but sign
it without delay,
Tre hope the Governor will do nothing of
:the kind, for the reason 'that the Usury law
as amended is one of those absurd monstros
ities of which our Legislation is so prolific;
endsit is idle to cumber the statute looks
with laws which will, or ought to be,
promptly repealed or amended by the next
Legislature.
The objectionable feature in this amended
law is, that it sanctions the charge of inter
est beyond e. certain "legal rate," if done by
special contract; and yet offers a premium
to the borrower to violate the contract at his
option, by deducting the excess of interest
over the legal rate before repaying the loan.
If any law-maker or professor of moral sci
ence can explain the propriety, morality, or
decency of such an enactment as this, we
would be exceedingly obliged to him. Why
permit an exorbitant rate of interest to be
eharged by special contract, if an inducement
is held out to the accommodated party to
violate it. Would it be honorable in
a man to commit such an act? Would
it be honest? What would be thought of
such a man among all honorable men? What
can bb thought of a law which permits or
induces such conduct?
It is not surprising that a man of common
sense and integrity withholds his approval
of such bald nonsense; bat it is surprising
that some men of known intelligence and
honesty regard this kind of legislation not
only without rebuke, but with approval and
learnest aid.
The recent Waterloo defeat of the "miter
rifled Democracy" has caused the most won
derful consternation among all the holders
of office under the late regime. The bitter
grief and chagrin evinced by some individ
uals among the departing legions of police
men and other recipients of the public boun
ty, is only equalled by the surprising
assurance, and unblushing mendacity of
others who stoutly deny the party which has,
for two years past, kept them in office, and
their families out of the poor house.
If any man has any doubts about the in
herent meanness of men, and the "natural
depravity of mankind," let him study party
politics, and note the doings of party tactic
ians for half a score of years, and he need
not go to hear Orthodox preaching for proof
of the most humiliating fact in the history
of the world.
Of the causes which have led to this re
markable defeat and victory, it is ussipss to
speculate. In matters of speculation, the
truth is never attainable; because men will
shape their opinions according to their
wishes, after the result, just as they shape
their wishes according to their opinions, be
fore the result.
The average majority of the Opposition
is nearly 4000,:instead of 3200, as it should
have been printed in your last paper.
Business is dull; the weather is dull; our
spirits are dull; shaving is dull; sharpers
are dull; and our razor is dull; in you may
infer on taking a general view of society,
that "the times" are also rather dull!

Tar PLACE Pox . SClloOLllA'3ol.—Prentiss,
of the Louisville Journal, relates the follow
ing experience of his in sending schoohna'lns
South: •
• ,
Some may think it strange (ft isn't though)
that ever since the time when. we remarked
in our paper that nine tenths Of all the hun
dreds of young women sent by us to the
South as teachers have got married there, we
have been literally overwhelmed with appik
cations from New England, New York,
Pennsylvania, and Ohio. "
We do not think, that, in justice to such
of our Southern friends as are in Want of
teachers, we can send any girl that will not
pledge herself to us to continue at least six
months in the business. We know that the
conditions sewn _hard, -but really we shall
have to be inexorable.
About three years ago the trustees of a
fine female academy in one of the Southern
States wrote to ns to send them a teacher.—
We sent them a very beautiful and accom
plished young lady, and they promptly wrote
us a letter of warm thanks for the selection.
In about three months they wrote us again,
telling us that their teacher had got married
and requesting us to send them another.—
We did send them another quite as beautiful
and accomplished asthe first, andtheywere,
as they might be, very much delighted with
her. In just about three months, however,
they applied to ns a third time, begging us
to send them still another, the second one
having got married like the first. In their
last application, however, they insisted that
the lady next sent to them should be plain
looking and not less than thirty-five years
old. The conditions were difficult, and we
did not succeed in complying with them.—
We prevailed upon our friends, the trustees,
to accept a richly talented lady who was
neither old nor ugly, she giving us her honor
that she would not marry in less than half
a year. We understand that she held out,
like a brave, good girl, to the end of the spe-
cified lime, but not a day afterwards.

Holloway's Ointment and .Pilts.--Those who have
been taught to believe that there is 110 remedy for can
cer but the knits. are invited to rend the following state
ment. Reuben Withers, late of Brooklyn, and now re
sidinv at Iffurysville, California, was for several months
treated sees/Adam artem, by two physicians, for what
they pronounced to be a cancerous tumor on the left
breast. Finally they recommended excision, but the
patient having heard mach of the efficacy of Holloway's
Ointment, in such cases, resolved to try its effects before
submitting , his flesh to steel. He used it in conformity
with the directions, for two months. at the end of which
time the lump had entirely disappeared, and up to the
date of his leaving for San Francisco, in August last, an
interval of fourteen weeks, no symptom■ of its re-up
pearance could be discovered. The Pills are equally
efficacious in all internal diseases. [May 15, '5B.
OXYGENATED BITTERS IN EUROPE
From Rev. L. Doolittle, a highly respectable clergyman.
Paris. November 1, NU.
Data Sta—About two years since I made use of a few
bottles of your Oxygenated Bitters. for a stomach com
plaint which was at that time relieved.
Since my stay in England and France, I have found
my old enemy, irritability of the stomach, returning
again. I have not found any prescription to afford me
relief, and I made inquiries in London for your Oxyge
nated Bitters. but could not find any. I write now to
beg you will do me the favor to send by the earliest
steamer to Havre, half a dozen bottles.
An old friend of mine in England. Captain Jackson
of the British Army. I found, on my arrival, suffering
from Asthma, manifestly the reeolt of dl spepsi a Send
an additional half a doyen bottles, I should like to have
the Captain try the medicine.
I am not aware that my name is known to you. I
have been the resident clergyman for some twenty
three years in s th erbrook and Leinioxbrook, Canada
East, to wh ich charge I hope to be able to return in the
spring. I remain, dear sir, your obedient servant.
