; 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

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

was president of the Columbia Fire Com

generosity arid liberal bestowal of time and

Bottonaar.-On the night of Dec. 25th
the store of _E. Haldeman ‘t Co., at Chickies,
in this County, was entered and robbed of
about $25 in cash, a number of postage
stareps and two bottles of Champagne
wine. 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

Musser, Innkeerer, of West llempfield town

Officer Fisher was au thoribed to nrrest Mus
ser, and on the 30th he brought him to the
31agistrate's office fur n hearing, Some
twenty witnesses, a number of boys among
others, were examined, and testified that

years of age to play dominoes in his bar
room for liquor, which they drank at the
bar. Several of the minors had got drunk
at Musser's house. The testimony so clear

and made complaint against one Wally
(alias William) Lockard, as a vagrant and
a disorderly character, demanding his in
eareeration in Chateau Cadwell for the term
of ninety days. 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. Cum
plainant, defendant, witness for Common

or title, ]cooked the 'Squire reproachfully
in the face and asked him in a heart-broken
tone whet her he had not known him long

ninety days. Ile offered his own oath in

was a little hard that he, an American born,
should be put off with 30 beggerly days

limit of the law. The magistrate melted,
and only asked the oath of a respectable
citizen to the fact of Wally's Ftanaing be

The required testimony was speedily pro

for so low a price. It is now in its twenty
ninth year, and has some of the most expe

can compare with the Geneum Farmer.

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!" There was merriment, far a
few moments, in that circle, albeit it was
Sunday.—Boston Pad.
fser•During the recent election for U. S.
Senators in South Carolina, one for the long
terns and the other for the unexpired term
of Judge Evans, there were many ballot
ings and much excitement. A gay, dashing
young widow of great personal attraction
was in Columbia at the time, and a nephew
of one of the contestants because so con
fused between the calls of love and the
lobby that he actually declared himself to
the lady as a "candidate for the unexpired
term of her late husband!" We are plowed
to say he was elected to the vacancy on the
first ballot.
Zee - Once a gentleman who Lad the gift
of shaping a good many things out of orange
peels, was displaying his abilities at a din
ner party before Theodore Hook and Mr.
T humus Hill, and succeeded in counterfeit
ing a pig. to the admiration of the com
pany. Mr. Hill tried the same feat, and
after destroying and strewing the table with
the peel of a dozen oranges, gave it up
with the exclamation: "flung the pig!—l
can't make one."
"Nay, Hill," exclaimed hook, glancing
at tho table, "you have done more; instead
one pig you have made a litter!"
