Very few bate been run through, the water being to., high fur navigation below this point. Rut few hate ventured thus far since Wednesday, pat) until n fall in the Cr we cannot expect further:arrivals. All the' Branches are up and the protracted freshet has afforded opportunity f,,r the lumbermen to met all their rafts out of the smaller creeks into the main streams; so, ac soon as the water sub- dos to a good rafting stage, we may look fot` a very large proportion of the IleaSell'h lumber. There is no means of learning the number of rafts on the way, as they are scattered along the river above us wherever overtaken by the freshet. Some fifty timber rafts lie at Marietta, but from above that point we have no information, except that the river men are on the way. The lumber now here is mainly from the North Branch; only four rafts, belonging to Mr. Rboaas, have arrived from the West Branch. Early next week, unless a continuance of the late heavy rains should keep the river at its present height, ate may expect to sec our shores and river crowded tvlth lumber and timber, and the stock of the emning year will be laid in. Probably but few If any sales have yet been made at this point, and there is little pros pect of trade until the full supply establishes the market rate. We have no means of judging of this season's prices.

These, with twenty-two received here last fall and wintered in the Canal below the out-let lock, forty in all, complete a heavy con tract ttf Me.ors. Frick St: Co., the builders, with the Pennsylvania Coal Company. Several hundred boats have been built for the Company for the trade on the Delaware and Ilmhon Canal, and they have made their appearance regularly on our waters every Spring. They are loaded at this place with lumber, coal or other freight, and passed through the 'ride Water, Chesa peake mil Delaware. and Delaware and Raritan Canals to their place of destine- Six large `ooals fur the Schuylkill Navigation, front the same builders, are on the way to Columbia by riVer. All these boats are consigned toihomas 1:•9., by whom they are freighted fur Phil adelphia or New York. This is the point at which such beats should properly be built. We have every facility for a large business, and only need eapitill and energy to build op an impor tant trade. Our facilities are inferior to to those of no other locality in the State, and wo would gladly see attention turned to this branch of business. l'uoer.t.otvcs or Couscm.—A Special meeting of the Town Council wits held March 10, 18:0, Members present Messrs.

Just off their temporary homes, headedby the "boss" with a well whittledlathin hand, they come in single file. One bemire an axe, another huge augur, another wears around his neck a "kile" of rope (propitious omen) while the procession is tailed off by a pair of vessels— one of stone, the other of clay; one inani- ' mate, the other "all alive;" one lately hold ing a standard gallon, the other rejoicing in present possession of at least half that liquid measure, and of unknown and incom putable capacity; in short, an empty jug borne by a comparatively empty and posi tively thirsty sucker.

All take whisky in purls naturalibra, and none wash away the genuine strychnine flavor with weaker after libation. The natives are of course out raged by the rudeness of the call to devo ' Lions, and show much commendable dignity and resentment; but finally- in a spirit of christian forgiveness, rare indeed, conclude in consideration of tin:uncultivated nature of the stranger—not at all for the sake of the proffered drink—to overlook the little inform ality, and swallow the insult and liquor to. getter. They stroll reluctantly to the bar, exhibit much indecision as to the nature of tits refreshment and finally settle each upon his "particular wanity"—the identical dram he had made tip his mind to take when the approach of thel'ankees had been telegraphed him aturid half hour before. The first crews of the season are generally considered licensed and free of the town, and are accordingly uproarious.

The "Yankees" have long been one of the features of the town, and their presence is the sure indica tion of awakening front the winter lethargy and the cotranetieement of spring activity. The riA ermen are many of them rough and uncouth, but we know our men and they know us, and there is generally peace be• tween us. Many of them are boisterous and given to skylarking, but in the main reason able and averse to strife. When their row dies and our own rowdies come together— ' for they hate roughs among them as well as ourselves—the contact is productive of no good: but as the mnjurity of the reftmen are orderly, so, we believe, are the larger pro portion of our citizens—time there is mainly good will between natives and foreigners, leading to barter and traffic, profitable let us hope to both parties. We patiently Await the going down of the waters and the coming, of the main body of the northern horde. A ItOUT THAT Ataxr.—Cur town was the theatre of considerable excitement during the latter part of last and beginning of the present week, occasioned by the passage of an Act through both branches cf the Legis lature vacating the Alley extending north ward from Second street between L•wust and Union streets. Remonstrances against the signing of the bill by the Got ernor were gotten up and numerously signed, the Town Council was called together and drew nr, a remonstrance which was forwarded to the Goternor. and a committee of citizens was dispatched to Harrishorg to remedy:- the evil. The entire affair was un"xpected, and gave rise to much feeling. Prisate in terest obtained the passage of the obnoxious act, and private interest was a thief ingre dient in the strenuous opposition shown it by many, consideration of the great public being mainly exhibited by those who scarce!,- knew the alley was in existence. We can didly e.•knowle.lge that we Append the !the closing of the alley principally because Iwe considered it detrimental to our indi vidual interests, but we ;cambonestly claim a consideration for the convenience of the public and fot other parties who would have more directly felt the inconvenience of shutting off this Means of communication. Our Rrepresentative at,llarrisburg came infra, full share of the'publie dissatisfac• Lion, but in a'briel — vistt with some Legis lative friends to the balls of his Fathers, this week, he was so unmercifully hacked 'by friend and foe, that we hire net the heart to mention his name in connection with the Alley Act. We entirely exonerate him from. intentional error, and give him full credit. fur his retrograde action. At his request the bill was recalled and recoil. sidered in the Senate, on motion of Mr. Baldwin. Senators Welsh, of York, and Wright, of 'Philadelphia., opposed the re consideration of . the bill, and the latter gentleman seemed to believe that the inter ests of the country required the elaborate discussion of the proposed action, but was speedily quieted by a few well directed and emphatic words from our indefatigable Sena tor Gen. B. A. Sheaffer.

It appears that the Doctor and two of his children—a boy and girl—took a walk up the railroad in the afternoon.— While resting in the bridge above Halifax, a coal train came along, and before they could get out of the way run into them:— Vie Doctor was instantly billed! The little boy, named Clarence, managed to reach the side of the bridge, and clinging to the arch escaped unhurt. The little girl, Annie, was struck by the train, had her arm cut o ff close to the shoulder, and was otherwise injured. She was tolerably comfortable at last accounts, but fears were entertained of her recovery. Since writing the above, we learn by let ter from Halifax that the little girl is still! living, and will probably recover. The ; writer states that there is a vety short curve within a short distance of the bridge, and there being an aqueduct and water-fall in ; close pioximity, the noise would render it almost impossibli for persons on the bridge to hear the approach of a train in time to get out of the way. The engineer td" the trait states that he gave the usual signal, and a Mr. L )(anis declares just as positively that the signal was not given. There me various rumors circulating with regard to this affair which we deem it improper to notice at this time, as they come to us in a very questionable shape.—lfurrisburg Tele graph, .Vonday 14th inst. This unfortunate gentleman had recently established himself in Columbia and com menced the practice of his profession. It was his intention to remove his flintily to this place at an early day, and he was probably at his old home with the purpose of making arrangements for a change of residence this spring, when his life was so suddenly and fearfully terminated. During the few months of his presence in Colum bia he made a favorable impression nn our people and bid fair to assume a prominent position in his profession. New Books and Periodicals THE NEW PRIEST IN CoNCEPTiosi 11n-, 2 vols. 12 mo; Boston: Phillips, Sampson & Co The author of this work (rumor names the Rev. Robert Lowell, brother of Lowell, the Poet) has made an ambitious, and in a great measure successful, attempt at a first ! class American novel. The book, published anonymously. came before the public un heralded and basing its elnints for favor solely on its individual merits. It at once made its mark, and created a place for its author among the literary notables of our country. As a first effort it is remarkable, and gives abundant promise of the writer's future suczess in the line of fiction. It's features are strength, originality and true pathos, with able delineation of character: Like all truly successful modern novels it is devoid of sickly sentimentality: plain end earnest, without affectation, bringie!z out naturally the every-day character of htt:nble I people. The scene of the story and its actors, with the incidents are strikingly original, conveying, however, the ides of life study rather than creation: Tho author Ihas sought an entirely new field for his tale, and in selecting the rugged shotes of Nevrfoundinnd we might suppose he had •lelved in sterile soil. But on tof unpromis ing Nature he has forced a liberal yield of character and action. The story is simply, amusingly and touchingly told. We copied a chapter entitled “Skipper George's Story" a few weeks since, which must have been remarked for its homely tenderness and feeling. The book, altogether, we think, entitles the public to look for future pleasure and entertainment from the author. Tn WAVKRr.r .7%; ovr: Ls. By Sir Iriz !ler ANiiOE. Phi hid chiplii a: T. B.

Webster defines a gossip to be "sue who runs from house to house, tattling and tell ing news; an idle tattler." It is therefore an easy matter to determine whether there be such an animal in out• midst 01' not. The question is, whom does that definition de scribe? Let every one ask hint or herself, does it fit me or my neighbor, and which of my neighbors? I say to myself, who is the person that runs about from house to house, time after time, carrying, news, slander and scandal of neighbors? Who is it? Let my readers look round about and see whether the shoe will not fit sonic one that endeavors to make herself agreeable. by re tailing petty matters about her neighbors; who fishes up idle tattle and gossip, :old carries it to every house she date and who has little else to talk about. If there be such a character let us know it, that she may be avoided as a pestilence. But it can hardly be believed that any one can be pointed out—to the great credit and honor of society—and Webster, when he madc:his dictionary, must have had his eye on some other neighborhood than ours• Is TIMM: A TEMAGAN'T AMONG rs? Webster says a temagant is "a boisterous, brawling, turbulent woman." Who is there that will answer this description? Dues any body know of such an tuifurtn• nate creature? A boisterouq, brawling, turbulent woman, must be a woman by herself, and out of the pale of good society; a sort of non-descript, that no gentle lady ould ilk , : to associate with. Can any one point Ills ot• her finger to any one that this definition fits? Certainly not in this goodly neigllburliond! /LIVE WE A VIIIAEO AMOSG to? Webster describes a virago to be "a bold, impudent, turbulent woman," and very much akin to a temagant, so that a person might very readily take "one fur euther, and Cuther fur which," without pereek tug the difference, unless he should happen to come into personal contact, when, perhaps, the difference would be manifest. It is hoped that upon a strict inquiry it will be ascertained that we hare neither a gossip, a tetnagant nor a virago among us, but that a fact of so much importance should be clearly made known, it is respectfully sag. Bested, that whenever there shall happen, (which it is presumed does seldom happen,) an accidental meeting of two women, that they invariably and incontinently discuss this matter to its fullest extent, not omitting to unfold to each other all the part icularsand minutiae they have ever heard about their neighbors, and when they have thus dis- gorged themselves jof all they know, the one into the other, they start out separately to dare' eat neighbors, and toll them all they have beard, and know with incidental additions and amendments, and so on in turn from one to another, until the whole neighborhood shall be properly electrified and instructed, when probably some one can report name, age and occupation of a gossip, a temagant and a virago. GOOD HIT FROM MR. Sumxen.—At the re cent celebration of the 22. d February, in Chicago, the name of George Sumner was, without his knowledge, printed in the offi cial programmes, and announced in the journals as one of the speakers. This brought from him the following witty letter, addressed to a member of the Committee of Arrangenients: Cuicnco, February 22, Mr DEMI Ste: Will you thank the gen dein= of the committee for their kindness in inviting me to ther banquet this evening, and assure them I am sensible of, the honor they have done me by printing my name in the programme of speakers. This honor must decline; in the first place because I shall leave town before the speaking will begin; and in the next place because I do not consider myself a representative of the great majority of our countrymen—that is to Any, the born-orators—but rather as one of the small, and sometimes suffering, mi nority of listners. Mindful of the interests of the minority. I should, if e called upon for a speech, on any occasion less solemn than that for -which you arc to assemble, propose this toast in honor of the departed spirit of Trinity Bay: "Ds SArrv—lty some supposed a myth, because the model man—the man who held his tongue when ho had nothing to say."

Iternarking upon his Wooded mare to a stable keeper in the presence of a crowd, the other day, he asked him what he supposed her pedigree to be. "Pedigree!" exclaimed the stable roan; "anybody can tell that. Is it possible you don't know?" - -- "Of course I don't know—how should responded the conductor. "Pray tell me what is her pedigree?" "Why," replied the stable keeper, "she's out of Railroad by Conductor, of course." The crowd took the joke and laoghed, and so did the conductor.
