sixty or seventy, now lie at our wharves.
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

the market rate. We have no means of
judging of this season's prices.

have interfered with the improvements

work is being pushed vigorously forward,
and water will he let in at an early day.
It is the intention to let the water into
the Tide Water Canal to-morrow when
business will probably commence at ofice.

Lewisburg, Union county, have arrived at
this place, and two are on the way. These,

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

Six large `ooals fur the Schuylkill

the way to Columbia by riVer. All
these boats are consigned toihomas

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

in present possession of at least half that

exhibit much indecision as to the nature of

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

We are glad to welcome these harbingers

town, and their presence is the sure indica

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,

us hope to both parties.

A ItOUT THAT Ataxr.—Cur town was the
theatre of considerable excitement during
the latter part of last and beginning of the

an Act through both branches cf the Legis

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

act, and private interest was a thief ingre

—We hare just re,!ised the particulars of a
fatal accident which occur) ed on the North
era Central Railroad near llaliGrs yester
day, resulting in the death of Dr. John
Wright, formerly a menthol of the Legisla
ture from this county, and for some time
past occupying the position of Brigade In
spector. 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

this affair which we deem it improper to
notice at this time, as they come to us in a
very questionable shape.—lfurrisburg Tele

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

people and bid fair to assume a prominent

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.

Kayo we a Gossip among us?
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."
Believe nu+, dear Sir, faithfully yours,
w.no.to CoNnocrons.--Wo know a
jolly railroad conductor in this city,who
owns a line turn-out, and lives pretty fast
on a small salary. 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.
CARICATURE Fcx.—Tho Louisville Cou
rier has a colum of "Wit and Wisdom'' by
way of ridiculing Prentice's column in the
New York Ledger. It is gotten up by "U.
B. Darned, Esq.," and sometimes has a
pretty good takeoff. For instance:
The violet grows low and covers itself
with its own tears, and of all flowers yields
the sweetest fragrance—such is humility.
G. D. P's wisdom.
The cabbage grows high and covers itself
with its own bugs, and of all yarls yields
the SW ceteA sour krout—sich is life!
Last week a man bought goods in one of
the interior towns of Indiana, and offered a
forged check in payment. A constable at
hand, whose name was Cash, promptly ar
rested him. The: rascal's cheek wasn't
cashed, but be was.—C. D. P's hay witty
coin MIL
Next week a man named Counter was
thrown into jail in an Indiana town;
charged with passing a bad bill. The
charge was proved false, and Counter
whipped the officer. So the bill was good,
and Counter fl.
A correspondent of ours notices a case in
which a young lady refused fur several
