dad I asked myself a question which I could

A SMUCGLEICS NATIRATIN - K.—" We shall
be, my dear madtm," said I to a fellow
pa , senger in the l - 11...sppe boat, taking out
my watch, hut keeping my eye steadily
upon her, "we shall be in less than ten
minutes at the Custom flouse." A spa=m
—a flicker from the guilt within—glanced
over her countenance. "'You look very
good-natured, sir," stammered she. I bowed,
and looked considerably more so, in order to
incite her confidence: "If I was to tell
you a secret, which I find' is too much to
hecp :ti euvselr. oh, would you keep it in
?" " I know it, my dear madam—
I know it already," said I, smiling; " it is
lace, is it not?" She uttered a Utile shriek,
and, yes, she has got it there among the
crinoline. Blie thought it had been sticking
out, you see, unknown to her. "Oh, sir,"
cried she, " it is only ten pounds' worth ;
please to forgive me, and I'll never do it
again. Asit . is, I think I shall expire." "My
dear madam," replied I, sternly but kindly,
." here is the pier, and the officer has fixed
his eye upon us. I must do my duty." I
rushed up the ladder like a lamp-lighter;
I pointed that woman out to a legitimate
authority ; I ac.:.ompanied her upon her
way, in cuytodY, to the searching house. I
did not see her searched, but I saw what
was found upon her, and I saw her fined
and dismissed with ignominy. Then, hav
ing generot:sligiv:en up my emoluments as
informer to the subordinate officials, I hur
ried off in search of the betrayed Woman to
her hotel. I gave her lace twice the value
of that she had lost; I paid her fine, and
tb.ra I explaine,l, " You, =aim, had ten
pcunds' worth of smuggled goods about
your persOn ; Y had nearly fifty times that
amount turned informer, madam, let
me convince you, fur the sake of both of
us. you have too expressive a countenance,
believe me, and the officer would have found
you out at all events, even as I did myself.
Are you satisfied, 'my dear madam? If
you still feel agravated or injured by me in
any manner, pray take inure lace ; here is
lots of it." We parted the best of friends.
Wl.lO Does it HIT ?—A writer, probably
conversant with the little faults and foibles
of people says. with telling irony, "'Keep
your eye on your neighbor-. Take care of
them. Ihm't let them stir without watch
ing. They may do something wrong if you
do. To be sure you never knew them to do
anything very bad, but it may be on your
account they have nut. Perhaps if it had
not been for your kind care, they might
have di , graced themselves and families, al
long time ago. Therefore don't relax any
effort to keep them where they ought to be;
never mind your own business, that will
take care of itself. There is a man passing
along; he is looking over the fence—be sus
picious of him, perhaps he contemplates
stealing something some of these dark
nights, there's no knowing what queer fan
cies he may have got lute his head. If you
see any symptoms of any one passing out of
the path of duty, tell every oop
s else that
you" can see, and be rtafticulF to see a
great many. It is a 409 way to circulate
such things, and though it may not benefit
yourself, or any one else particularly, it
will be something important ahout some
one :else. Do keg p something !
lenee is a dreadful thing : though it is said
there was silence in Heaven for the space of
half an hour; don't let any such a thing oc
cur en earth ; it would be too much like
HeaN en, for the inhabitan ti of this mundane
sphere. If, after all your watchful care,
you can't see any thing out of the way in
any one you may Le sure it is nt because
they have not dune anything bad ; perhaps
in an unguarded mment, you lost sight of
them—throw out hints that they arc no bet
ter than they should be—that you should
not wonder if people found out what they
a ere after a a bile, and then they may nut
carry theirheads su high. Keep it going:
and some will take the hint and begin to
help you after a while—then there will
be music, and every-thing will work to a
charm."

re- We have received the following cir
cular from the office of the Philadelphia
Board of Trade, and believing that much
valuable information can be supplied from
this section, so deeply interested in the
manufacture of the great staple of our
State, and feeling so sensibly the effect of
the stagnation of that branch of business,
we copy it, hoping that some capable per
son may respond to the call. At a period
when Pennsylvania interests are beginning
to assert their claims to consideration, any
movement by so responsible a body as the
Philadelphia Board of Trade, having for
its object the reinvigorating of the general
business of the State, must command at
tention, and may result most beneficially.
In any event, if the request of the commit

will be Lid before a body of intelligent
business men out of whose hands it will he
likely to come in a practical shape, for the
information of the public.
In pursuance of a resolution of the ex

individuals throughout the State, for 'the
purpose of obtaining themost extensive and
accurate information possible, with regard
to the present depress ed condition of the
Industrial and Manufacturing interests of
Pennsylvania ; as well as to elicit their
opinion upon the causes which have pro
duced this depression, and the proper rem

We therefore beg leave to address you
upon this subject, soliciting a reply at your
earliest convenience. We would be glad to

the general condition within the past fifteen

interests with which you are most familiar ;
the period of their highest prosperity, and
the progress and extent of its decline ; to

causes of such depression, if any exists,
and your opinion of the proper measures to
be taken fur the restoration of their former
prosperity and ‘l4c.r.
We shall be glad, also :to receive any
collateral information liearing on this sub

REPORTED IVP OUR SPEC/AL "MOIXIIARD."
A LITTLE BIT OF HORSE TALF.--OR Thurs
day, 2.Bth ult., Christian Millis° appeared
before Justice Welsh asking a warrant fclr
the arrest of a stranger , name unknown,
who had ridden away on the steed of Mr.,
George Hepperle, of
. this borough, with no
intention—as into/twit believed and was
willing to swear—of returning the same.
The prayer of petitioner was entertained by
the Court, and a warrant plageil in Aft hands
of Hollingsworth, Ist Division, Mounted
Police, directing him to take the body of
——, and produce him at the Blue
Front. Mounted on his dry charger, the
official departed, centre a Terre, and disap
peared in the bridge with the velocity of a
moderately dischargedlarrow. Being aimed
with precision he hit the hole of the farther
end, emerging into the Borough of Wrights
vino.. surrounded by a halo of dust, and an
admiring crowd of small boys. He was
successful in his mission, and the same eve
ning brought to the judgment-seat, one John
(draw, of the city of Lancaster, as the ab
sconding. equestrian,
John, with the bravery of conscious inno
cence, and a knowledge of law, kept a stiff
upper lip, conducting his defense skillfully
and successfully. lie proved that his em
ployer, a Lancaster trader, had been seized
with a desire to become possessed of the
horse of Hepperle, by means of a swap, and
to the end of more fairly conducting the
negotiation had induced the latter individual
to accompany him to the:neutral ground of
York County, where the exchange was con
summated, and the bargain sealed in a
copious flow of lager. Grow was dispatched
for the animal, and his ingenious manner of
obtaining it at the hands of Hirnese excited
that gentleman's suspicion, hence the com
plaint.
Prosecution attempted to prove a swindle,
but the case was dismissed by the magis
trate ; llirnese for costs.
We understand that llepperle, consider
ing hini.elf over-reached in the transaction,
the dealer having closed his eye with a
wretched charger in exchange for a very
good horse, intends seeking justice in York
County.
TERRIOLE SUFFERINGS FROM "BURNING
FLUID."—On Tuesday, 2nd inst., a good
looking German, bight Hans Focht, applied
at the Blue Front for accommodations for
the night. Being of the race of Cain in
the estimation of the keepers of the Ger
man Hostelries of the town—Hans was a
Svroope—he had been refused by them bed
and board; and with an eye to a bivouac in
the street, or haply a curb-stone pillow and
a gutter ,bed, be had prudently fortified his
inner man with as many drinks as were ob
tainable under the circumstances. The
Squire discouraged the encampment project.
While admitting the soundness of the great
Squatter Sovereignty principle as a political
dogma,•t or dodge, he apprehended in the
preset instance the jumping, of the Squatter's
claim on the part of Hollingsworth, Richard,
or some unauthorized deputy. The magis
trate is generally impartial in his recom
mendation of the tradesmen, landlords and
others of Columbia, when an occasion offers
fur advice to anxious inquirers, but in the
pre-cut instance he volunteered as touter
for the Hotel des Etrangers, better known
as the Borough Inn, and highly extolled the
bar, table and shake down of that literally
patronized first-class establishment. Focht
unhesitatingly adopted the Squire's sug
gestion, and Hollingsworth was requested
to show the gentlemen to his room.
In the morning the recipient of the Bor
ough hospitalities was brought up to the
Captains office to settle, when instead of a
graceful rendering of thanks fur the favors
bestowed, Justice Welsh was overwhelmed
with objugations in such complicated black
Dutch, that his limited knowledge of the
language failed to make him sensible of the
point at issue. A wayside interpreter was
' called in, and the address was reiterated,
at second hand.
Tran.lated into intelligible English,
Foclit's tirade resolved itself into a com
plaint of the borough acommodations. He
intisighed against the apartment as close,
.I.wip and nu-ty, the bed as disgustingly
filthy, and characterized the entire estab
went al lather a pen for the impounding of
e-truy swine, than a harbor of refuge for
indigent and unfortunate christians. His
heaviest attack, however, was directed
against the deficiencies in the department
of refreshment. He, Hans Focht, had en
tered the subterranean with his blood nt
fever heat from the fire within, and all
through that thousand year night had the
undying conflagration raged around and
around his ventral cavern, raced up and
down his parched alimentary canal, issued
in Simeon gusts from his encrusted mouth,
scorching, searing; roasting, baking, stew
tng, broiling, frying, sizzling; in short, sub
jecting him in every member to the question
by fire. He humbly asked what crime he
had committed that he should!be thus mar
tyrized l Surely the fact of his having
voluntarily kindled the fire should not cut
off his water! More in anger than in sorrow
be inquired why this little municipal Hades
was not furnished with at least a bucket
of the Water Company's best I
fi , quiro Thomas Welsh had no word
to say in defense. He could not deny
that the stranger had fared hardly, but he
c ,old not send the Borough down for thirty
days, so be pronounced sentence of banish
ment against the Swoope, and handed over
the Corporation to the justice of " Our
Special."
P. R. R. YIIAIN OFF TOE TRACK.—On Tues
day, 2nd inst., Constable Hollingsworth ar
rested and arraigned before Esquire Welsh
a party "on a train," and very heavily
freighted. The 'Squire opened the services
with the usual intimation that inebrity in
the streets of the borough was contrary to
the statutes and to good morals, and referred
the miserable offender to back files of the
Spy for the fate of the transgressor. The
prisoner was asked i I he had anything to
say in his defense—any good reason to urge
why the sentence of the law should not be
passed upon him. He got off a rather in
co.,berent statement, being evidently too much
in awe of the magistrate to speak freely.—
The gist of his remarks was that he ans
wered to to the name of James Brown, and
bad long been in the employ of the F. R.
R. Co. The Justice knowing that strict so
briety prevail on the Philadelphia Division,
questioned prisoner as to his locality and
discovered him to be of the Westerh Divis
ion. James made no end of good promises,
and the 'Squire after an appeal touching
enough to move the conscience of a money
lender, discharged the offender with an ad
monition to go and drink no more.
For the Columbia Spy
MR. SJET:—Why do we Columbians need
so much governing? 'Why should our Bo
rough Fathers be called upon to legislate
the hour upon which we may open our
money-sack and supply ourselves with a
pound of butter, or a slab of bonny-clabber?
In other civilized communities, the day be
ing named for holding regular markets,
folks are supposed to be able to act for
themselves, as to what time they will pur
purchase. Here we must await a certain
click of the town horologe, or, failing its
action, the whim of some pompous official.
Can't folks see the advantage Johnny Bump
kin takes of our hungry looks, as we stand
ready to grasp with greedy hand his com
modities at a given signal? We pay at least
twenty-five per cent more than we should
were the market to be opened, say at day
light in the morning. Then the laboring
man might supply his wants untroubled by
excessive prices, or crowded from hiti pro
prieties by showy crinoline in the pursuit of
notoriety. Won't our Council look to it?

TIIE ELECTIONS.—The Electiona of last
Tuesday seem to have generally resulted, as
our own, adversely to the National Admin
istration. We give below the summary of
the returns as far as received :
The result of the election in Illinois is - in
doubt. As far as heard from, the Legisla
ture stands thus: House, 35 Republicans,
33 Democrats, 7 doubtful; Senate, 11 Demo
crats, 3 doubtful.
Delaware goes Democratic—electing a
Democratic Governor, Congressman and
Legislature, the latter ensuring a Demo
cratic U. S. Senator.
New York State elects the whole Repub
lican State ticket, by at least twenty thou
sand majority, and a Republican Legisla
ture, beside; all the members of the Con
gress except five. Thiskin, anti-Lecompton
Democrat, is unfortunately beaten in the
Ninth district, by the Administration can
didaie. In New York city the whole Dem
ocratic municipal ticket is elected.
In Wisconsin and Michigan the Republi
cans carry everything, including all mem
bers of Congress.
New Jersey elects five members of Con
gress for the Opposition, including Adrian,
anti-Lecompton Democrat.
To the State Legislature of New Jersey
we have elected 35 Opposition and 25 Dem
ocratic Assemblymen, while the Senate is
controlled by anti-Lecompton Democrats.
The majority on joint ballot is sufficient to
elect an Opposition 11. S. Senator.
Since the above news later intelligenge
shows the success of Douglas in Illinois,
and,the election of llaskin in New York.

A PROCLAMATION.
FELLOW-CITI2ENB.—The goodness of God
to us as a people calls for our public ac
knowledgement and our grateful praise.—
The past and the present are crowded with
Ills blessings. Nothing has occurred to
imperil the prineples of civil and religions
liberty upon which our Government is
based, or to interfere with its harmonious
operations in all departments. We are at
peace with all foreign nations, and the noise
of violence is unheard within our borders.
While all enjoy perfect freedom of opinion,
the genial influences of our free institutions;
and the mild spirit of our holy religion, are
more and mole uniting us iu our brother
hood. Our educational institutions are dif
fusing intelligence among the masses
of our citizens, inducing a higher appre
ciation of their privileges, and a deep
er sense of their obligations. Though in
some localities the pestilence has prevailed,
our country at large has enjoyed unusual
health, and we are blessed with an abun
dance of all the necessaries and comforts of
life. Our industrial pursuits are fast re
covering from the torpor induced by the
recent financial embarrasroents; confidence
is being restored, and business is resuming
its wonted activity. Mercies crown all our
relations in life, and the hopes of a glorious
immortality wait to cheer and bless every
heart.
Prompted by my own convictions of duty,
and in conformity with the expressed wishes
of many of my fellow citizens, I, WM. F.
PACKER, Governor of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania do hereby appoint Thurs
day, the Eighteenth day of November, next,
to he observed as a day of general Thanks
giving and Prayer, and reccommend to all
our pcople that setting aside all worldly
pursuits, they assemble in their respective
places of worship, and unite in offering
thanks to God for Ills goodness, imploring
His gracious forgiveness, and the continu
ance of His mercies, and while our hearts
throb with gratitude to God for His un
nowhere(' blessings, let a liberal charity be
extended to all upon whom have been laid
the burdens of misfortune and want.
Given under my hand, and the Great Seal of
the State, at Harrisburg, this twenty
eighth day of October, in the year of our
Lord one 'thousand eight hundred and

A LITTLE DIFFICULTY rar TUE lirsv.—An
enterprising traveling agent for a well
known Cleveland Tomb Stone Manufactory
lately made a business visit to a small town
in an adjoining county. Hearing in the
village that a man in a remote part of the
township had lost his wife, be thought he
would go and see him, and offer him oonso
lation, a grave stone, on his usual reason
able terms. lie started. The road was a
horribly frightful one, but the agent perse
vered and finally arrived at the bereaved
man's house. Bereaved mares hired girl
told the agent that the bereaves man was
splitting fence rails "over in the pastur
about two miles." The indefatigable agent
bite/Jed his horse and started for the "pas
tur." After falling into all manner of rand
boles, scratching himself with briars, and
tumbling over decayed logs, the agent at
length found the bereaved man, In a sub
dued voice be asked the man if bad lost his
wife. The man said ho had. The agent
was very sorry to bear of it and sympathi
zed with the man very deeply in his great
affliction; bat death, he said, was an insati
ate archer, and shot down all of both high
and low degree. Informed the man that
•' what was her loss was bis gain," and
would be glad to sell biro a grave stone to
mark the spot where the beloved one slept
—marble or common stone, as he chose,
at prices defying competion: The bereaved
man said there was " a little difficulty in
the way." " Haven't you lost your wife ?"
inquired the agent. "'Why yes, I have,"
said the man, " but no grave stun is neces
sary ; you see the cussed critter ain't
dead. She's scooted with another man !"
The agent retired.
TIIE PnrLosorrry or PLAYING Low.—At
the recent reception of the new engine by
the Boyden Engine Company, Waltman,
Rev. Thomas Hill, of that town, who was
unable to be present, sent in a letter, in
which is the following paragraph, which
contains a valuable hint:
" When the sad fire at the corner of Cen
tral and Newton street was raging, some
years ago, I went with a friend from another
State, an old fireman, to look on. He re
marked that those who held the pipe seemed
to him not sufficiently governed by the great
principle which is the secret of all success
in battling with fire. This principle is ex
pressed in the most important precept, play
/ow! Throw your water—not on the top
of the fire, where it will be turned aside by
roofs, floors, and other obstructions, or,
touching the fire, will fly off in useless
vapor—but throw it at the lowest burning
point, that the
_steam generated may as
cend through the fire and smother it—
throw the water at the lowest burning
point, which is by its ascending heat en
couraging the whole fire—destroy first that
ringleader of the riot."
DAVID AND GOLIAU.-A preacher, who we
believe ro be of the Methodist pursuasion,
who used to bold forth to out-door audien
ces in this town, was preaching once at
Forbestown, from a text which had some
bearing on the David and Goliah combat.—
The old fellow (the preacher) had some
quaint and original ideas of his own, and
was'nt afraid to speak them out. Alluding
to the probable cause of David's heroic con
duct, and his readiness to engage in mortal
combat with the giant, he said:
"Now, my hearers, what do you suppose
was the reason that David was so mighty
willin' to go out and fight Goliah? Was it
because ho wanted to serve God? No.—
was it because he had religion into him?—
No. Was it because be wanted to do good
generally? No.
"I'll tell you what he done it for, and
there ai'nt no use o' anybody denyin' it.—
He was struck after one of Saul's galsr—
(Sensation-)—Rtitte Record.
A GOVERNOR Nos PLUSSED.—The other
night as the Ministers were returning from
Conference, on the E. T. (Ga.) Railroad, an
amusing occurrence took place between
Gov. Brown and Parson Brownlow. Just
before the cars arrived at Knoxville, Gov.
Brown came up, and taking the Parson by
the hand remarked:
" How do you do, brother Brownlow Y I
am happy to see you."
The courtesy was returned, when the
Gor. continued :
"I hope you will moderate in all your
notions of propriety in regard to your fel
low-citizens—lire like a good Christian—
and last, though not least, become a good
Democrat."
The Parson with the eccentric look pecu
liar to himself, stretched himself up and re
marked :
" Governor, an old gentleman of your
politics, many hundred years ago, took our
Saviour upon a mountain and preached just
such a sermon."
The outburst of laughter can be better
imagined than described.—Cin. Gazette.

hiessra. Ferrel. Herring &Co PIO/OLIO , ObiO•
GOollettleO—Tlie close attention which our own
affairs liner required -ince the fire, has hitherto pre.
vented from writing you about the Safe.
On occasion of the fire 19th of July, by which we
suffered a large lose, our store, with n number of
other building., was consumed. The Safe, of your
manufacture. which we had in the store was expoeed
to n most intense heat, as is well attes ted by the ef.
feels on its strong iron frame, which, from its flaked
and scaly appearance, looks as though it had been
heated for a tong time in a furnace. The Safe, with
heaps of molten glass and kegs of nails, fused into a
fell sato the cellar. surrounded by burning ma
terials, and there was:suffered to remain, fan the con
tents hed been removed before the fire reached as,)
until the 211 of A ugust.l4 days afterwards.
The difficulty in cutting it open with the best tools
that could be procured, convinced us of its power to
reciat the attempts of burglars, awl when it was
netted, we found the interior, to the astonishment of
all. entirely uninjured by fire.
This test has so fully convinced us of the capebili.
flea of your Safest, tutu we would rot part with the
one we have in use for • large rum. were we debarred
the privilege of getting another. Respectfully yours.
