The lama al procession was unusually ex tended, and the character a a large portion, composed of the Chief and Assistant Bur gesses of the Borough, members of the Tow❑ Council, and all other Borough offi;e.rs, and the members of the different Fire Comp:L. dies, wearing their respective badges, was properly formal and official.

The public acknorledge ; tiiPtit of a public loss, I.y the official atten dance of all borough officers at the grave of Pusey, and the resolutions of Council, published in to-day's Spy, fitly express a sense of the feeling in our Borough on this melancholy occasion. Still more eminently proper, if possible, tvas the formal recognition by the Columbia .and other Fire Companies, of the loss sus tained the tire department of the town in this lamented death. So Columbian, as a fireman. occupied so prominent a position as Isaac Pusey; not that he was the popularly accepted fireman: while health and strength endured there was no more faithful zeorkiny member; but his inserest in his company and the department generally (although Mr. Pusey was second to none in wholsome local pride and attachment to apparatus, stc.,) was devotion to the cause of public safety, and his constant endeavor was to increase and insure the efficiency of ;,ur protection from fire. For sonic time he was president of the Columbia Fire Com pany and we believe that to his energy, generosity arid liberal bestowal of time and n evtonai 9,opers - nsion the present efficiency , f that company is in it great measure ow ; big.

Bottonaar.-On the night of Dec. 25th the store of _E.

The burglar had effected his entrance through a second story window which he reached by means of a ladder borrowed from the stable. A drawer was broken open and rifled, and the safe bore evidence of an ineffectual attempt to open it with a crow bar, It was apparent that the robbery had been committed by one acquainted with the locality and arrangements, and suspicion was attached to Joseph W. Cannon as the perpetrator. Hollingsworth was furnished with a warrant and dispatched to York County were this man was at work—em ployed at the Ore Banks, about 6 miles from NVrightsville.

Justice Welsh made answer that be was ready to do deponent's paper for thirty days, but the rules of the shop would not permit a ninety day shave for !the first offense; he offered, however, renew al of his paper every thirty days. as long as he might require accommodation.

It is always welcime on out table--always comes loaded with a rich repast of practical and scientific iuggestions. It is said to have a larger cir culation than any other similar Journal in the world, and certainly no agricultural Jourual furnishes so much valuable reading for so low a price. It is now in its twenty ninth year, and has some of the most expe rienced farmers and fruit-growers of the United States and Canada as regular corres pondents. In this respect, no other journal can compare with the Geneum Farmer. It is so cheap that oilcan afford to take it. In Last, no farmer can afford to be without it.

Parker's Lecture— Lame Ducks among Newspapers—New En- terprise—Lost Resort. The weather has become intensely cold. On Saturday night the wind chopped to nor'-west, and the favoring breeze wafted to oar town the airy vehicle of our long ex pected friend Mr: Frost, professor of rheu matic diseases, chilblains, et id mane genus. On Monday morning at 8 o'clock, the ther mometer was ti° below zero; since then it has become a little more moderate and yes terday it rose to 12° above. In the mean time we had about 20 hours of frightfully cold weather. But Mr. Frost is still about, and pretty busy; the professor is no lecturer, but one of your silent philosophers, and like the only successful railroad philosopher within our knowledge, does not waste his time in "gab," but goes quietly to his work, "shut ting down" on some just as be pleases, and bursting others into fragments jest as Erie cE Reading will be bursted some day. Wnh the end of holiday week, disap peared the excitement among pedestrians and the spf.smodic stir in the retailers' bu siness. Now, everything has subsided into the normal condition of quietude and inac tion inseparable from a Philadelphia com munity. The shows and pantomimes have given place to "sterling pieces," and the "legiti mate" is the card at the first house, while the second house is busy running a piece which it seems very hard to run out; the chase has lasted about eight weeks, and "Our Ameri can Cousin" is still on his high horse, and going it at a rattling gait. Week before lastan excitingdrama called "Retribution" ran a few nights at the Walnut; among some critics it was pronounced a success—and we heard one young gentleman of the Jacob school pronounce it,—in a circle of admir ing friends—a "bully" piece—whatever that elegant expression may mean. Ignorant people are apt to connect it in some way with cattle, and to mix it up with a rum bling noise emanating from clover fields, and green meadows in the spring and early summer months; but no such vulgar associ ations as these are suggested to the culti vated imagination of a genuine Jacob; the term carries aldeep poetid meaning which he can "ne'or es press, yet cannot all conceal," llowever, when applied to a certain school of acting now in vogue, the term is not alto gether inapplicable; there are several actors on the Philadelphia boards, who habitually head so loud, that a visitor on entering the theatre during a masculine dialogue might readily believe that each was playing "bul ly" to the other, and the general effect taken in connection with the "beggarly account of empty benches," would give one a pretty good illustration of the poetical expression, "a howling wilderness." Speaking of illustrations suggests carica tures, and speaking of these naturally brings to the mind the never-failing Punch. The best of his hits is found in a late number, and though the subject is rather grave, it will bear one of Mr. P.'l; jocular jogs with remarkable grace. It must be premised that not long ago, the Bishop of London issued a letter of advice, and charges to his clergy, containing some reproofs, and animadver sions on the popish innovations which do in sidiously creep into the church service of the English Establishment. In Punch's il lustration the Bishop clothed in the vest ments of his office, occupies the front ground near the door of a cathedral. Ire is a fine looking, tall, and stately gentleman, not un like Dr. McCoskrie, the Bishop of Michigan, around him crowd sundry sickly looking di vines of the Wiseman and Pussy school, clad in Ruttish gowns, with University caps, and bearing in their hands crosses, candles, and a variety of other altar ornaments. The Bishop is about to enter the door and turn ing to his companions with a benignant and classic gravity remarks,—"you may do as you please, my little men, but you mum% bring your playthings into church." There is a world of wisdom in this picture, and it is worth a wilderness of controversial pam phlets on the subject. Well has it been said of Punch, "he is no clown, but a phil osopher;" sometimes grave, oftener comic, always wise. Mr. Senator Douglass was in the city last week. His friends made some commotion with his "reception," which in modest com mendation of themselves, they style a splen did success, but his enemies pronounce it a dead failure; while the disaffected or rather uninterested, look on with a quizzical wink, and ask in the language of "Father Ritch io"—cui bottof In fact, the reception was neither a success nor a failure, neither en thusiastic, nor altogether tame; might have been worse, and (under the circumstances) should have been better—so it would have been had the object been less of a humbug, and the actors not quite such skilful actors. The fugitive lecture system has reached its climax in a late effort of the Rev. Theo. Parker on the character of George Wash ington—singular subject for Mr. Parker to ,touch upon, after some of the previous no tices of that distinguished patriot!—Of course it was necessary for this orator Wetly some thing original and very startling on the subject; accordingly he observes—" Whe never I find a greet man I expect hint to be great all around, in his national basis, as well as in his mental superstructure."— "But it is rather refreshing to find that this cool, cautious, diplomatic man could once in a while swear" (laughter) * * * * he had a strong love of approbation, ho iwas greedy of applause" (applause for P.trker) * * * * "you cannot find a single instance in which he courted popu larity." Here is certainly exhibited a very strange inconsistency in the character of the I first President. He was "greedy" of what he "never sought after." The inconsisten cy is in the lecturer—his lecture, is as usual 1 a series of points; and having made one, he wipes it out with another of opposite color. It need hardly surprise any one that Mr. Par ker should consider it "refreshing" to bear a man swear. The person who listens com placently to such an immensity of falseboo.l, aced nut be reproached because uccasionaly be craves the seasoning of "hideous oaths." There is another exciting time among the newspapers. The Evening Argus has in fact broken down; though it is merged into a morning penny paper of diminutive size called the National Argus, of "independant democratic principles!" So it would seem that principles of this type.have fallen full one hundred per cent. Rumor says, as she always will be saying strange things—that the new weekly "Dying Wizil" made its appearance at a late hour on Saturday last. A corps of Editors had been dilligently em ployed for weeks to make up "original mat matter," but when the time came to go to press it was found impossible to collect enough for .more than two pages of that mammoth "blanket sheet;" the publishers were in a quandary, what could be done? issue a half sheet? this disgraceful resort was very near at hand, when the "little devil" suggested that " 'tother side be medicated," and the paper be put out: this brilliant idea was under consideration when Green Horn interposed for an explanation of the myste rious term. "Ask Jones," said;,l4. D. which rejoinder occasioned a..great "/arf." The -uggestion was adopted and now the Wail is lying like a light fall of snow an the cen tre tables of the city hotels, and many a curious traveller turns it over in silent won der, cogitating on its hidden virtues. ..Our Brown, writing us from Balti more says—There no is reason why all the bon mots of the smart children should be published in "Old Knick" and "Harper." I can give one in advance of these excellent but necessarily slow intelligencers. So journing in the elegant and most hospitable mansion of Dr. 11----s, last week, I was auditor of the following dialogue between the Dr. and his youngest daughter, a beau tiful child of six or seven years. The father was winding his watch, when he said, play fully, to the girl—" Let me wind your nose up!" "No," said the child, "I don't want my nose wound up, for I don't want it to run all day!"
