A Social Sketch
"constant" or inconstant, of
course you know the Toothpickers. One
meets them at every evening party that one
goes to. In fact, no evening party would
he thought complete without them. One is
sure to find a herd of them in the doorway
of the drawing-room, and a straggler or two
is always to be seen upon the staircase.—
They derive their name of Toothpieker from
:he sort of after-dinner toothpick air there
is about them. They come generally in
couples, and coma rather late, and with the
lazy teller look of men who have just been
dining. So long as the toothpick-chewing
mania continued the Toothpickers were al
ways seen to ;be afflicted with it, and nett'.
lag but the fear of being placed in Bedlam
prevents them, even now, f orn giving vent
to the insanity. Evening partygoers neve
need look far to find a Tuothpicker. One
cannot escape seeing them, fur they are al
ways in the way. One can neither leave
the room nor enter it without a tussle to got
past them. If your partner wants an ice,
you have to squeeze through them to get it.
And then they jam up close again the in
stant you're gone through, as though they
were all hung on hinges and had door
springs in their backbones. The Tooth
pickers belong to the family of Wallflowers;
but there are' between them some marked
points of difference. In the first place, they
are only found of the male sex. As far as
w•e can learn, no one ever yet has seen n
female Toothpicker. If ever ono existed it
may now be classified among the extinct
animals. Again, unlike the Wallflowers,
the Toothpickere are seldom to be found in
side the drawing-room. They frequent the
ice-room and the staircase and the landings,
hut the walls of the drawing-room are gen
erally free from them. The door-posts are,
however, their favorite place of resting. It
is always there the Toothpickers do mostly
congregate. They are not shy animals; but
they like to keep together, and they don't
care to associate with other than their species.
They avoid locomotion, and seldom take
much exercise; but it must not be inferred '
that they aro weak or muscleless. The way
in which they stand about the doorway the
whole evening is a satisfying proof that
they have no mean crural powers, and that
their dorsal muscles are prodigiously devel
oped is shown by the tenacity with which
they nightly in the season stick their backs
against the doorposts. They adhere to
place as firmly as a government official; and.
li.te the Whigs, if you displace them, they
are certain to come back. A cry of "Sup
per!" generally them induces to move, but I
hove known a herd of Toothpickers refuse
to be disturbed by it.
Render,
Although they condescend occasionally to I
stalk through r, quadrille, it may be laid
down Its a rule that the Toothpickers don't i
dance. I recolloct once asking one the rea
son why he did'nt; and he graciously in
formed me ha thought "dawnciug a gwea
baw—for it made one feel su—aw—sticky,
and it—aw—disavranged one's waistcoat."
In general, the Toothpickers are not very
communicative. Two words in ten minutes
seems about the pace at which their conver
sation travels. After supper, certainly,
thanks to their libations of pale ale and
ehampagne, they generally contrive to spar
kle np a bit. But till they get the liquids
they are generally mutes. Mutes, tou, they
are really in more senses than one; for they'
look in their white choakers, and expres-
eionlees fixed features, much more fi: to be I
e a duty on the doorstep at a funeral, than
to be hanging, like wet blankets, about the
doorway of n drawing room. Another of
their peculiarities is one never hears them
laugh. It can't be fur not having cause for
laughter; for you know at every evening
party there's ilways lots to laugh at. But
; suppose they don't like the " twouble,"
end think it a "great haw;" or are afraid
that the exercise of laughing might fatigue
them ; or possibly, it may be that they think
it " wude" to laugh. At least, ,it certainly
, s the fact that the higher the society tha
laughing you hear ip it. If the best
jokes be cracked. (and you know in some
circles it is thought extremely vulgar to track
jokes,) you will always find the Toothpipk•
era will never condescend to do the least bit
more than smile at them. Indeed, their
heartiest fits of laughter is only a loud smile.
They erem to bottle it up somehow, and let
it explode inwardly, like bag ginger -beer. I
have been all my life an observer of the
Toothpickers, and I declair I never heard
Gait actual;y laugh. You often catch them
smiling, but ibis is all they do; and they
do this a /a Curker, just to show their teeth.
The most boisterously bent of then; shrink
from an indulgence in open cachination. If
they ever are amused, (and it is no easy la
'hor to amuse a Toothpiciter) they smile a sort
pf ball Laugh as a proof of their enjoyment.

Bcact.tas.—On Friday night or Saturday
morning of last week a number of stores
in our Borough were entered by burglars
and a small amount of property stolen.
Martin Smith's store, at the Basin, was
enti, , reti, but little plunder gathered there.
Mrs. Wolf's Railroad House was also open
ed and some articles lifted. Some jewelry,
clothing, &c., was stolen from the store of
Henry Rice, on Front street, and the cellar
' of Col, Herr's grocery was entered, but
without gain on the part of the marauders.
The store of W. K. Nowlan, on Locust
street, was broken open and a new coat
and pair of trowsers stolen. These gentle•
men must be narrowly watched or more
serious loss will ensue. Our police force
must bestir itself.
A Scrinsx DESTII.—On Tuesday morning,
Sam Smith, a negro well known in town,
fell dead in Locust street. lie was sent at
an early hour from the Jefferson House, to
the baker's, and was found in Locust street
above Second. no ruptured a blood vessel
—how is not known—probably, from the
amount of blood on the pavement, at the
corner of Front and Locust streets, but con
tinued on his errand until, exhausted, he
fell and died before he was discovered.
INTER NA L lIA PPINESS.—CaII there be 0
more soothing, satisfactory, pleasurable
sensation than an icod draught of thirst
allaying nectar on a hot day? Our neigh
bor of the Golden Mortar crooked his finger
one hot afternoon this week, in obedience
to which universally understood masonic
sign we took our way to his store, and there
found with the cream on the most delight
ful and delicious glass of soda water with
which we ever astonished our internal run
ning-gear. It is an unaccustomed tap with
us, hat it fraternized with its predecessors
and created a little jollification within quite
equal tunny more exhiliarating effects of
potent tipple, and vaitlyless damaging in
its after results. If your "alimentary"
needs moistening call at the Golden Mortar
and let neighbor Dellett "fix" you a re

TEE DARK SIDE or THE PICTURE.—Dr.
McCorkle, at the Family Medicine Store,
desires to stand in a fair light before the
people, and we are bound to say that his
stock is such as will bear him 3ut in his ef
forts; but, at the same time, certain of his
commodities which have been submitted to
our criticism, are so infernally dark that it
is beyond our skill to whitewash them. A
case in point: our friend the Doctor, know
ing our partiality fur a polished understand
ing, advi.ed us to try an article of French
Blacking, a specimen of which accompanied
the adrize. We have tried it and pronounce
it the blackest, brightest, best blacking we
have ever used. It is for sale at the Family
l'tletlicitte Store.
As &G.—We had handed us last week a
hen's egg, the production of a rather di
minutive fowl, weighing 3i ounces. We
are not well enough posted on the weight of
this kind of fruit to know whether that of
the present specimen is or is not excessive.
It looks like an enormous egg; but it may be
beaten. If any body can throw it much
we will say nothing about it as an egg
among eggs; but we will back the little
biddy that laid it as the spunkiest little
fowl of her size in tho county.
A INTET:ESTING EXITIIIITION.—We Call
attention to the advertisement in to-day's
Spy of the Glass Blowers with their Glass
Steam Engine. We spent a few moments
in visiting the room of the Glass Blowers,
adjoining Mr. John Felix's store, in Front
street, and advise our readers to give them a
call. The Steam Engine is a wondcr and
the process of glass blowing a curiosity
which may be now to some, and must be in
teresting to all. The room will be open for
visitors every afternoon and evening until
Tuesday next. We copy from the Express
a notice of their exhibition in Lancaster:
We stopped in to-clay for a few minutes,
at Russell's Hall, to see the Boston Boys
with their Glass Steam Engine and Glass
Blowing apparatus, and we are free to say
that we were most agreeably surprised and
delighted with what we saw. We profess
to know something about the steam engine
and the principles upon which it works—can
take one apart and put it together—are able,
generally, when one is out of order to detect
where the difficulty lies—but a single
glance at this complete glass engine can
give one a better and clearer idea of how
the steam, works, in passing from the boiler
through thei valves, into the cylinder, and
out again, keeping the machine in motion
with the steadiness of clock work, than can
be obtained by weeks of study. Here you
see all' that has to he imagined in looking at
the ordinary engine. It Is u marvel of in
genious mechanism, and' is Made on what
is known as the walking beam, high pres
sure principle, the beam, wheels, and frame,
and all the machinery being complete and
made oat of glass. Those who have not yet
seen it in operation, ought not to lose the
opportunity this evening of seeing the most
interesting wonder ever exhibited in Lan
caster.
In addition to this Engine, a great variety
of Fancy Articles are blown out of glass for
the entertainment of visitors, such as pens,
baskets, birds, ships, eto.

REPORTED UT OUR SPECIAL "ALOUCRARD."
Assartr.—On Tuesday, 17th inst., Jus
tice 'Welsh. on a little supervisory excur
sion through the suburbs of the North Ward
came unexpectedly on a case of violent as
sault and battery in the neighborhood of
that generally peaceful locality—the Basin.
The active party in the breach of the peace
was a disorderly character hailing from
Baltimore, recently domesticated in our
quiet town, answering indifferently to the
names of William Espy and William H.
Rubinson. The almost passive participant
was an aged tourist, who, with his wife, had
visited Columbia and made a temporary
stop at the Sullivan House, above the old
R. R. Depot. The traveler and his spouse
had refreshed themselves at their hostelrie,
replenished. their "tickler" and retired to
the high grounds in the rear of the estab
lishment to enjoy a little siesta. Here they
were joined by Espy who scraped acquain
tance and enjoyed the hospitalities of the re
spectable couple. Before the thawing proper
ties of "Sullivan's best" all formality melt
ed, and much improving discourse was held
upon topics of general interst. At length a
discordaut note was struck and the concert
became a jangle. The mischief maker was
that arch enemy, whisky. The stranger ad
vanced the opinion that the pure corn of the
"Sullivan" was preeminently distinguished
above all other whiskies with which his
throat was familiar—and he might without
too much vanity assert that highway to
have been traveled by most of the best
brands in market—for unmitigated vileness,
and that the Sullivan standard quart con
tained the smallest number of pints of any
liquid measure within the limits of his ex
perience. Espy ruse in defence of both
red-eye and quart measure. He challenged
comparison between the tap and tinware of
; the Sullivan and those of the Blue Front
Restaurant or any other first class estab
lishment. The traveler stoutly maintained
his position—backed his judgement— and
was consequently pitched down the hill by
his opponent, who then turned to crown his
victory by "licking" the old woman, when
Justice Welsh put in his oar. Espy ran
as fast as his load would permit and
the Justice pursued with dignity. The
chase was an exciting one and witnessed by
an admiring audience. The betting at the
start was about even and as long as the
work was up hill there seemed littie advan
tage on either side, but when they came
down grade odds of five to four on the
'Squire was freely offered without takers.—
A retributory justice was impending, when
the offender struck his toe on a root and fin
ished the descent head foremost. On reach
ing the low-lands he was seized by a party
of railroaders, and escorted to the Blue
Front where his brief race was terminated
by a commitment to County quarters for
80 days. Richard took him into his father
ly keeping.
CAMP llstersen.—On Wednesday, 18th
inst., information was conveyed to the Blue
Front that a company of volunteers under
the command of Captain William Ilantsch
—"Fighting Billy"—was encamped in the
neighborhood of Reese's limo kiln, in the
North Ward. A posse was summoned to
visit the field and accordingly proceeded to
the ground. The force was found to con
sist of the "Captain" nioreso.id, two Lieu
tenants, W. Wally (supposed to be an
abbreviation of William Wallace) Lockard
and David Hinkle, and, unlike the Missis
sippi militia, one private, name unknown--
appeared on the roll of the company, as
"nigger." Had the army of occupation
been in enjoyment of its entire strength
and faculties a sanguinary engagement
might have ensued, but over confidence in
its own prowess or contempt for the re
sources of the enemy induced an entire
neglect of discipline. No sentinels were
found on duty, and so secure did
. the
1111i
buster force regard itself that it was effectu
ally surrounded and captured without an
opportunity of striking a.blow—at least
the main body of it. Lieut. Hinkle and
the "nigger" were sleeping off the effects
of their hard service, somewhere in the high
grass, and could not be found. The Com
mander-in-chief evinced much chagrin at
this untimely termination of his expedi
tion, and swore roundly that if his entire
force had been sober the result of an at
tack on his camp would have certainly been
different. As it was, he and his first Lieu
tenant showed an inertness of disposition
which threatened their captors with trouble
in the transportation of their bodies. The
'Squire created a diversion in the favor of
law and order, however, by a whisper to
Captain Billy that it was Wally who was
wanted, whereupon the valiant commander
lent himself to the task of persuading his
doughty second in command to the Blue
Front. Arrived at that Temple of Justice
the Magistrate speedily committed both
offenders fur 00 days at hard labor.

our constituency we must assert that it has
become a fearfully frequent occurrence for
one or more of our readers to "go down"

In the absence of the President, Mr.
Fraley was called-to the chair.
Minutes of last meetings were rend and
kdopted.
The road committee made the following
report, which was, on motion, accepted:
"That the streets and alleys of the Bo
rough are, with a few exceptions, in a very
good condition. Fourth street from Mill to
Union street, needs grading, and from Union
to the first alley north should be macadam
ized, as also should Perry street from its
intersection with 'Union street, to 3rd
street. The alloy between Locust and "%Val.
nut streets is in a filthy condition almost
constantly, owing to the offal flowing from
slaughter houses and hog pens. The total
amount of expenditures upon runds from
the first of January, 1859, to the 19th inst.,
is $ll9.
Market Committee reported that they
had rented the Market Benches by public
out-cry, and that the market cle k had col
lected $122 bench rent, $36 stall rent, and
$2O circus license.
The Committee on Rents and Repairs re
ported that in obedience to instructions of
Council at last stated meeting, they have
examined the old Lyceum Hall, and would
hereby recommend that the building be
sold by public outcry, at an early day, with
a view to its speedy demolition. The Com
mittee would further report that the School
Board is in debt to the Borough for rent of
the old Lyceum Hall, the sum of $lBO.
William Gleaves has the second story in
the Town Hall leased at $lO per quarter.
The pavement in several places at the Town
Hall is broken; 100 hard brick are required
for repairing the same. The cellar door
and steps need mending; expense trifling;
will not exceed $5. The market house roof
adjoining Town Hall, leaks; ought to be re
paired; the expense will not exceed $2.
Paving Committee reported several pave
ments in a very bad condition, and that the
Supervisor has been instructed to notify
property owners to repair forthwith.
Gas Committee reported as follows: There
are seventeen street posts and lamps in
good order, and four with one broken glass
each; otherwise are in good order; will re
quire $1 for new glass. There is one post
at the corner of Locust and Fifth street, but
no lamp; gas pipes do not extend up to it.
There is one pest and lamp at lower end
of market house, on Third street, complete,
except very dirty. The borough originally
purchased twenty five poets; Committee can
not find out where the two are; each post
cost $8,50. C. A. Hook has been lighting
the street lamps at a salary of $12,50 per
quarter; he claims extra pay for cleaning
the lamps. Committee would recommend
5x1,1 salary for lighting and cleansing.
For the street lamps Gas Company charge
$175 per year for use of gas. The bills for
gas and repairs to fixtures are all paid up
to Jan. 1, 1859. Committee would further
recommend that gas posts and lamps be
placed on Union street, corner of Sixth, and
at Tille's store.
On motion of Mr. Welsh, the Gas Com
mittee was authorized to employ a person to
light and clean the street lamps at a salary
nut exceeding fifty dollars a year.
The following extract from the Borough
Charter was submitted by Mr. Welsh, which
the Chief Burgess was directed to enforce:
"That if any person duly elected Chief
Burgess, Assistant Burgess, or Member of
Town Council, or High Constable, and hav
ing received notice thereof, shall refuse or
neglect to take upon himself the execution
of the said office, to which he shall have
been elected, or having taken upon himself
the duties of said office, shall neglect to dis
charge the same according to law, every
person so refusinr or neglecting, shall for
every such offense forfeit and pay the sum
of ten dollars, to be recovered by suit."
Mr. Welsh moved that Saturday, Juno
18, 1859, be fixed as a day for holding
Court of Appeal, between the hours of 1
and 5 P. M., which was agreed to.
Mr. Hippy from the Committee to whom
wus referred the subject of Potter's Field,
reported it in a bad condition. On motion,

C. 0. D.—An Irish store-keeper having
ordered a quantity of haddock fish, by Ad
ams ik Co.'s express, was somewhat indig
nant upon the delivery of the fish to find on
the outside of the package the letters "C. 0.
D."
"An' sore," says Pat. "I did'nt order
codfish?"
The express man examined the fish, and
pronounced them haddock.
"Well," says Pat, "c
-o-d won't spell had
dock."
"Oh, no," the express-man replied, "c
-o-d
spells cod."
"An'," says Pat, triumphantly, pointing
to the fish, "them's fish!"
"Yes,—you are right there."
"Well, that makes codfish, don't it, ye
epalpeen?"
"But where do you get.the cod from?" re
turns the express-man.
"Look there," says Pat, pointing at the
portentous C. 0. D. "that's cod, to be sure."
"Oh, no," replies "express," "that's C.
0. D., which meams 'Collect on delivery!' "
"Ah, bedad, I didn't think o' that" cries
Pat, scratching his head with one hand, and
feeling for his purse with the other; "but
young man, let me give you a bit o' advice.
When yez bring any more bundles for me,
don't put on anything so mysterious again;
but joost reverse the big letters, D. 0. C.,
and yez can deliver on collection, which
any fool can understand."
The express-man walked off, much pleased
and promished to lay Pat's suggestion be
fore the superintendant.—.Y. Y. Mercury.
DEFENSE or Poss.—The Boston Post of
fers the following excuse for its numerous
outrages on the common sense of our lan
guage:
It is remarkable that Sidney Smith, the
pivot of whose excellent jukes was so often
a pun, should have spoken ill of this kind
of wit in his Lectures on Mental Philoso
phy. On the contrary, Hood, the most pro
lific and most ingenious of punsters, defen
ded his jets de Mal against all antagonists.
Only dull people he insinuates, nre opposed
to puns. "It is not wonderful," ho says,
"that people dislike two senses who with
difficulty understand one;" a sharp saying
and logically as well as wittily put. Un
doubtedly bad puns are a bore. So is bad
grammar; but that proves nothing against
the genuine thing. All attempts at wit by
dunces are offensive, whatever may be the
kind attempted. Bunglers bring all man
ner of fine arts into r epudiste; and punsters
who have no wit—who are mere word-mang
lers—are responsible for all the odium
which attaches to puns. It is something to
know that puns have never gone out of fash
ion, and that the art has been greatly im
proved by modern scholars. Cicero made
puns that Swift would have been ashamed
of. The puns of great authors are, most
of them, clumsy enough; while Punch's
puns are often perfect. Jerrold's best
jokes were based on puns. So were Lamb's
and Foote's and Quinn's. Though John
son professed to hate puns, his best retort
had a pun patent at the bottom of it. It is
rather late in the day to expect much origin
ality in anything, yet there are many clever
puns to be made yet.

between diseise and a permanent cure; and it iv an

DICKENS' NEI% WEEKLY.
WE have the pleasure of announcing that
we have entered into arrangements with
Charles Dickens, for the issue of his new pub
lication, entitled. "All the Year Round," each
week, in New York, simultaneously with it•
issue in London, plates being taken from the
English edition, and forwarded to us sufficient
ly in advance of publication for that purpose.
The first number will appear in London and
New York on Wednesday, May 4th, and will
contain the commencement of a new story by
Charles Dickens, to be continued from week
to week during about eight months.
Thus, it will he seen that American readers
of "All the Year Round," will obtain the
stories and other contributions of Mr. Dickens.
and the stall of writers associated with him.
embracing an array ot distinguished talent with
which no other publication can compare, sev
eral weeks in advance of their reaching this
country thrtugh ordinary sources, and at the
same time they are given to the public in Lon
don.
We will state that this arrangement has
been consummated by the payment of a large
sum of money to Mr. Dickens, yet the extra
ordinary interest which the announcement of
the publication has excited in literary circles,
the assurance which Mr. Dickens has given
that he shall devote to it all of his best ener
gies, and the appearance of a new story from
his pen, cannot tail to command for it at once
a large circulation.
The following announcement from Mr.
Dickens, will convey an idea of the character
and aims of the work:
ADDRESS.
Nine years of Household Words are the best
assurance that can be offered to the public of
the spirit and objects of the Year Round."
In transferring myself, and my strongest en
ergies, from the publication that is about to be
discontinued, to the publication that is about to
be begun,l have the happiness of taking with me
that staff of writers with whom 1 have labored,
and all the literary and business cooperation
that can make my work a pleasure. In some
important respects, I am now free greatly to
advance on past arrangements. Those I leave
to testily for themselves in due course.
That fusion of the graces of the imagination
with the realities of life, which is vital to the
welfare of any community, and for which I
have strivetrfrom week to week as honestly as I
could during the last nine years, will continue
to be striven for, wall the year round." The
old weekly cares and duties become things of
the Past, merely so be assumed, with an in
creased love for them and brighter hopes
springing out of them, in the Present and the
Future.
I look, and plan, for a very much wider cir
cle of readers, and yet again for a steadily ex
panding circle of readers in the projectsl hope
to carry through "all the year round." AntEl
feel confident that this expectation will be res.l
- if it deserves realization.
The task of my new journal is set, arid it
will steadily try to work the task out. Its perils
shall show to good purpose their motto is tit
membeied in them, and with how muck of
fidelity and earnestness they tell The Story of
our Lives from Year to Year.
