Their establislimeni is newly fitted up and they deserve a liberal t.liare of the public custom. oltaren & BECKETt'S carriages are estab lished as the neatest and best in the coun try. See their new advertisement. We can endorse every claim and statement made 13,y them as to the quality of their work. We have heard them commended on every hand as good and eTheient work men. Their patronage is already liberal; wo think it cannot be more so than the excellence of their handiwork warrants. Fr.Nnatcal & Tinos. call attention to their large stuck of Tobacco, Segars, Snuff, &o. The claim ut this firm to have the largest and most complete establishment of the kind west of the larger cities is a just one. Their enterprise deserves success. As far as our judgment goes their stock is first rate. Let smokers and others give them a trial. D. F. G cum-ries removal to his old office, under the Spy office was advertised last week.

Tile Trnr WAvea CANAL—We learn that the Tide Water, like the Fennsylvani.t Canal, is being subjected to a thorough overhauling and cleansing. It will be deep- ened sufficiently to float boats drawing 41 feet of water, and put in the hest order by the time the Spring business opens. These improvements are being pushed under the efficient supervision of D. F. Shure, Esq., with the intention of letting in the wateron the 20th inst. Mr. Shure promises a radical reform among the luck keepers; orders will he issued compelling them to keep water in their respective levels at it navigable stage—.-319 far as thi4 may be effected by watchful attention—under pain of dis missal. With the Canal in this complete order the business will doubtless be a large one during, the coming season. The, early Spring will force everything forward in the way of transportation, Mid a very few weeks will, we anticipate, witness a busy scene on our shores and the tibarves of our neighboring borough, IV:rightly;llve.

OCR IiSCISLATIVE DELE4ATION.—The ed itr,r of the jfithelt Chunk Gazette, at pres ent a clerk in the 'House of Representatives at Uarrisbnrg, entertains the readers of his paper with sketches of the members. In the last fi'azdte lie gives our delegation a notice which we think does them justice, without fulAorne awl indiscriminating praise. We tire particularly pleased with the term "mocks' youqg mien," as applied to our friend, Slay. Wo give the "first class no tice" in full: "Cul. Samuel IL Priee represents the City. Ile is member of the bar, a young man, and ks the benefit of considrable ex perience during la.,t session. Ile is exces ' sively fond of a'rough and tumble (Legisla tive) light—pitches into anyone who cros ses his path, no matter who he is or where ho flails from. Ile dues some speechifying every rpny and then, and in a style peculi arlylds own—offttanded"and forcible. Ile is now engaged in' tierce , gas contest— wants a new gas company chartered.for Lancaster City; which is opposed. by Mr. Shaeffer of the Senate, because, as Mr. Price alleges, the latter owns stock in the old Company." I venture the assertion that on this question of gas, although he has a foe who thoroughly:a uderstauds the subject, Col. Price will, us far as the House is con cerned, achieve a brilliant victory, though Mr. Sheaffer is equally sure of carrying the Senate. Each fights this subject on his own "dung hill," cud neither of them is to be sneezed at. The remainder of the delega tion is composed of three very modest young men—Messrs. A. S. Green of Columbia, Dr. S. Keneagy of Strasburg and N. Ellinaker of the Gap. All readily admit that the county has, as a whole, a working delega tion. Mr. Green is always at his post, minds his business, and seldom engages in debate. He is a gentleman of good educa tion and business qualifications. Mr. Elb maker is a straight forward, offhanded and hard working member, and may generally be found on one side or the other of every question, and generally on the right side.— I have known him fur many years, and tie is now what he always has been a plain, though firm and honest man. I am sure that at the end of the session no member will be able to boast of a more consistent record than he. Dr. Keneagy, too, is it first rate man, and although new and inexpe rienced as a member, he has on several oc casions acquitted himself admirably in de bate—on questions of interest to his con stituents." 0. j 7 WOoD & CO's IIA IR RESTORATITE.— Among the thousand and one oils, washes and dyes of charlatanry, puffed and adver tised as specific in the regeneration of the hair, this genuine scientific Restorative of Professor Wood stands, like a Simon pure coin among a pocket full of "bogus." We have almost daily proof of its efficiency in the glossy heads which so magically grow from the gray poll of age under the appli cation of this wondrous wash. It is no dye; its action on the hair is simply through the renewed action (stimulated by the ap plication of the Restorative) of the slug gish organs which secrete that coloring mat ter which gives life and beauty to the cover ing of the head.

LITTELL'S LIVING AGE.—The Living Age fur March sth contains the usual amount of valuable and entertaining miscellany.— It contains a portrait of Professor Wilson, (Christopher North,) and announces the preparation of a series of interesting liter ary portraits, one of which shall aprear in each succeeding number of the Ago.

FELLOWS' //ALL, IN TO•DIX'S rr.R. - For the Columbia Spy A Chapter op /twig's. ' DEAR Srr;-48 you - have "opened the ball on Beards," I eoppose the.) by paying the "initiary fie," you will Omit au ad mirer of that "time honoreilinetitation," to the privilege of friembershit. With your approval, then . ; as "chie mans r," I am under 'Omar& tione.:,olirtlceirtg a proficient, however, "to trit; 4 ltori the light fantastic -toe s t.fe Lwillsenaitts —yoursspere mission, (of course,) merely as a promena der, take afewnotes of• men and things, "aye faith, if you will print 'era." 'lie said, and I think truly, that the stpdy of nature is the moat sublime and etimprehec e sive of which the human mind . talse cognizance. As wo are however, ,. at present confined to the ball , room, 'we shall "take notes" of but one subject, and that only a singular feature of the genus home—that wonderful hirsute appendage, usually de nominated the beards We can scarcely bring oar mind 'to giro credence to the , belief that "al/ this conglornerutioa of variety" sprpng originally from one and the some stock, or wore formed in the same mould. Why, here we have the white and the gray, the black and the rod beards. Some look as fierce as lions; others mild as lambs. Some have such exuberant growths that we may Burmese the soil to have every :ngredient necessary in the highest state of cultivation, aye, and producing an hundred fold. Others again have such meagre, sparse and diminutive returns for their labor of manuring, cultivating and tending their "crops," that it seems none of the elements of fertility were present,' and we think "it wont pay." Than again, look at the variegated appearance. All the arts of the "adept in colors" would be in fault to describe;the diversified "tints"—and here we would "stick a pin," and ask for informa tion; for really it is passing strange,: and beyond our comprehension, how, why and wherefore such diversity of color can exist, when apparently, there is no appreciable difference in the soil. Though we hare ne knowledge that an of our chemists, egrioultural or others. hare devoted their wisdom to analyzing the soil, in the :peculiar province now under con sideration, yet we doubt their skill, as we have in other branches of their professions, to discover the cause. We will merely throw out a few "hints," but as it is only supposition, we may. be wide off the mark. May it not be then, what some soils con tain, a superabundance of acid, or it may be again, that alkaline salts are in excess, to bring out those brilliant tints, or those dull shades of color; while other soils again bring forth nothing but furze, whin and gorse, or pelt other weeds as grow on "sour soils." I'robaltly this class of soils might be improved by thp application of lime, or by draining, or some such"special" manure as Judd calls "super-hersefut," which trans lated into Latin, means super-phosphate. There must also be a wonderful disparity in the strength of the suit; for here you see a big man with a little beard, and there e little man with a big beard; then there ie one "hairy as a bear;" look at his eyes- s e you:can scarcely see two little.‘.‘ppepers" staring nt you front that exuberant crop tf weeds—like a rabbit under a tussock; this we can easily attribute to the fertile or sterile quality of the . soil, But when we have black, white, red, with all the inter mediate shades and grades of colors, striped, as were "Jacob's trine," or spotted like "Jo seph's coat of many:colors." Shades of Me t thusaleh, what can produce so wonderful a melange of "variety?" Then again, just see I with what tender regard the possessor "strokes his beard." Some "go it" down. wards, some upwards; some give it a twirl, "circular fashion,"as it were. Some train it like the "feelers" of the feline race; ..others i more sedate perhaps "touch it lightly," yet all'eeem constantly attending to "the well be ing of the crop"—more so indeed than the farmer among his corn or potatoes, and like I the latter working the surface soil to keep it light and porous, for the admission cf I air and light, to the well doing of the crop. Now under this state of things, is there r.ot a fair prospect to.make a:"bit?"— to make the discovery of a panacea, a super-stimulus, to make the beard grow. If we could be allowed to judge from appearance, that is, I from the desperate attempts of the many who try to wear "that hairy puff-ball fernenst their breathing apparatus," to still further increase the vigor and productive ness of the crop, there is a great, if not e general want existing, just meow, for some new and concentrated fertilizer, that will stimulate the dormant energy of the soil, and urge the growth to speedy perfection. This "desideratum" is wanted by the "mil lion," and would sell like V hot cakes." Mrs. Swisshelm must have been fur behind the age, wirer she made that oft quoted ex pression, "that she would sooner stick her nose in a rats nest of svringletow, than per mit such an ugly protuberance touch her face." The poor woman didn't know it was the fashion. Whoever will disCOver this panacea, now one of the great wants of the people, will make an easier and quicker fortune than Woodworth with his planing mill, or McCormick withlds reaper.

HAVE WE 'A "DEAD BEAD" AMONG VS.- According to the following paragraph from the Christian Observer, the :Antral is• as much troubled with "dead heads" as the theatres, ci,cuscs and negro minstrels:— "DEAD liter*" IN THE CHUMCII.-"A "dead head" is a technical term, used by railroad men to designate those who manage to ride when_they wish, without paying fare. Now it strikes me that there are some such characters in the church of God. They never eubscribe anything for preach ing,.and they are speechless nt •n meeting for conference and prayers; in a word, they mean to,retain the name of Christian, and be borne along to heaven in the • church, without inconvenience or expense. Reader, may I ask if you are a, 'dead head?" Do you help pay, in the community where you reside? Dead heads in the church of the living God; Who nre they?"

We have been prompted to do this from an honest pride at the accomplishment, not only of our own, but, we believe, of a national desire, to see our periodical literatunevint)icated from the charge our English brethren have so often brought against it, tlutilt74llaratilce*. above the levil of love3lielri — iitOries and sen- -tineentaimoetryebooause.ovvreading-plablie• can appreciate nothing better. Many an attempt has been made to establish some thing similar to the high-toned periodicals of England, and as often as each attempt has failed, the voice of exultation from the English press .bias been loud, and the, cry raised that we can't do it. Well do we re member this when Putnam's Monthly was compelled to give way, in which we thought we had found a'refutation of the established English Opiiiiott in regard to us. But we can now safely boast of a triumph, as the Atlantic Monthly has attained weirculation of 40,000, nearly donble ( that ever reached by Putnam's, and is placed upon a sure basis, its publishers being among the Most enterprising in our country, and have been actuated to a econsiderable degree, in the establishment of the Atlantic; by this same mortifying fact we refer to, that our Amer ican literature had no true exponent. The many expressions of favor and wellwishes received the past year from their subscribers, prove that they too have given their support to' the Atlantic from a determination that our country, in spite of British misgivings, shall have a periodical of its own, not only equal, but' even superior, to any of those published in England. Ard now 'the En glish press have honestly admitted that we have such a periodical, for the London Crit- is and 'Athenmum have been lavish of their praise the past few months. The "Auto crat" has been republished monthly in Lon don, as it appeared in the Atlantic, calling forth golden opinions and the confession that their own periodicals have contained nothing so brilliant since the "Noctes 471- brosinnze." At the present time two different houses in London monthly re•publish the "Minis ter's Wooing," by Mrs. 11. B. Stowe, and its circulation there almost exceeds the same here. We' have heard it stated that the editors have received and approved, up to the present time, sufficient material from American authors to furnish sevetal num bers fully equal to any that have yet appear ed. The April number is looked for as one of the very best yet issued. We repeat again, that in chronicling the success of the Atlantic, we are expressing a national feel ing of something more than pleasure, that we have at last accomplished our desires, and that our literature has such an orna ment as the Atlantic Mouthly.—BeBlon Sat. Eve. Gazette. "Tiler SAY."—Somebody says, and we endorse the sentiment, thet a more sneaking, cowardly, fiendish liar than "They say," does not exist. That personage is a uni versal scapegoat for personal gossip, envy, and malice, without form of flesh and blood, when invoked, and yet stalking boldly in' every community. The character is a myth, and yet real; intangible, and yet clutching its victims with a remorseless power. It is unseen, and yet from un exhaustless quiver wings its poisoned arrows from day to day. And no mail is proof; no character, posi tion, or sex escapes; no sanctuary is too sa cred; no home is bulwarked against its as saults. When one base heart wishes to as sail some person's character or motives; "They say" is always invoked. That is the assassin who strikes in the cloud—the Thug who haunts the footsteps of the of fender, and tortures from careless word or deed, an excuse for the stiletto. Men dare not always reveal their own feelings. With smiles and pretended friendship, they pre sent their envemomed shaft as coming from "They say." Be sure, reader, that when some villainous tale is told you, and the re lator cannot give an author more tangible than "They say" fur it, that the slander is the creation of the boast by your side, and reeking with the poison of envy and ha tred, and earnest with a wish' to hai;t3 the falsehood of "They'say" bud into reality, and become current coin in the community. "They say," we repeat, is as cowardly as it is false and fiendish; a phantom creation which smiles, while letting loose a brood 'of vipers to crawl in your path, and blast by their venom. To retail the stories of "They say," is to sneak behind an intangible per sonage and put in circulation the infamous inuendoes and calumnies, which, from raw material, are forged for nearer home. • bdr•Vivier, 'the born player, received warning from his landlord to quit at the ex piration of the quarter. The very day of his conge, he earried up a main its infancy, and, by the time his conge expired, St had grown almost into a bullock. The key was given to the proprielaire, whose amazement and consternation may be conceived.' No means of getting the animal alive down six flights of narrow stairs had been invented, and so the slaughter was compelled to take place in the garret, to the ;Wes disgust of the other tenants—leading to innumerable lawsuits against the landlord, who is quite beside himsilf, andAhreateos destruction'to Vivier in consequence.

The patient thereupon detailed the sad incident of his being transfixed.• The surgeon 'shook his head and redunied: "Are they subject to this accident, iir; 'in your family?" "No," replied the patient, "not that I know. My father and mother are yery old, and have never bean spitted. So with regard to my brothers and sisters, andl my uncles and aunts."

All the devices are. the same as the true note; the shaded bars across the s's on the corners are well defined on the good note, but they are imperfect on the counterfeit, and a black line appears also that is not upon the genuine. The ink with which the note is printed is rather lighter colored than it is on the good notes ; We need not describe the other features of the note, for they are just like the genuine. The signatures are well imitated. P hiladelphia Division P. B. it.—Wint Arrangement. On and after Monday, Nov. 29, Passenger. Trains on this Division will run as fellows: LEAVE EASTWARD.
