terribly disfigured by the effects of constant
and excessive betel chewing. It is carried
to a disgusting extent amongg„people of all

the lips considerably, to dye them a sort of
black red, and entirely to alter the Ithapo of
the lower part of the face. The Siamese

FATAL ItIILROAD AcetnENT.—On Friday
afternoon of last week, John Graves, a col

was fatally hurt, on the Pennsylvania Rail
road, near this place. In attempting to
jump from a car, while the train was in mo

' and he was thrown with his legs tinder the
cars. Before he could be rescued a portion
of the train had passed over both legs crush

Tur.Oatcrx or TUE FIRE LtST WEEK.—
There is some dispute about the origin of
fire of Friday of last week. We stated in
our notice of it, on S.tturday last, that it
broke out in Mr. Barr's House, which in
formation we obtained from Mr. Daniel
Ifeisley, who was burned out of the adjoin
ing dwelling. Mr. Wien, who occupied Mr.
Barr's building requests us to positively
deny that it broke out in the house tenanted
by him, and declares that the fire was first
discovered in the roof of Mr. Ileisley's
house. :ire here have opposing statements
from the two raoht directly interested par•
ties. We do not pretend to attach much
public importance to the question. The
houses were burned; and what does it mat
ter, as long as the fire was accidental, in
which building it origino.ted.? As a point
of veracity between the two gentlemen, of
course it is of interest to them; therefore
we are content to leave the settlement of
the little difference to the parties concerned.
and the formation of en opinion on the mer
its of the CCU.' to the public at large.

In the evening of the Ritmo day Qen. Ri

forcible and impressive, meeting with the
general approbation of the whole audience.
The liquor dealers and tavern keepers re

THE MATTOWN PARADEr—On Friday of
last week the Lancaster Fencibles arrived
at this place by the Atlas Swift Sure Ex
press, at 3% o'clock P. M., on their way to
Maytown to attend the regimental parade
at that place on Saturday. They were re
ceived by the Columbia military and es
corted by him through the borough, by
several of the main streetsi to the Washing
ton House, where they were refreshed with
drinks all round. From this point the
company proceeded by canal- boat to Mariet
ta, where they paraded through die borough,
and, it is fair to presume, took another
"snifter." They were here met lry the
Mnytown Infantry and escorted to the place
of their destination. in the evening iiiey
attended a dramatic entertainment sad ball
given by the Infantry, the proCeeds going to
defray the expenses incurred 9a erecting
their new Armory, a neat and substantial
structure: •
On Saturday the Jones Artillerists, Capt.
Geo. If. If"ss, arrived ile•re from Safe Har
bor, via the Susquehanna and Tidewater
Canal, and were escorted to the Washington
House, where Cul. Herr entertained them
with breakfast. After sundry airs from the
band of the company, and possibly a drink
or so, the Artillerists again took ship and
sailed fur the port of Marietta, much to the
relief of the parties who were engagod in
the destreetion of the famous fish-reeks at
Harbor ! which so nearly led to an oathreak
of hostilities between the piscators of
umbia and the former place.
The parade at Maytown was well attend
ed, a large majority of the companies com
posing the regiment being in the field. The
military was under command of Cul. Herr,
of our borough, and was by him put
through a course of manoeuvres, promptly
and creditably executed. The men, con
sidering their rawnes in battillion drill ac
quitted themselves admirably. The Col.
being an old soldier, of course exercised his
command with his accustomed ability: He
is a popular officer with his regiment, and
if his will has influence, will perfect it in
its dutict.
The Armory of the Infantry was formally
dedicated, and the military paraded through
the town during a portion of the afternoon.
A large concourse of spectators from the
neighboring towns and surrounding coun
try enjoyed Om unwonted spectacle, and
Maytown was gay to its entire satisfaction.
The different companies were much pleased
with their reception and treatment by the
Infantry and the citizens of the town.
When are we to be represented by a corn
pan.t in these military gatherings? IVe
have good material in our town for one or
two first-rate Companies, but the spirit
seems to be lacking. There is a desire cm
the part of many of our citizens to form
themselves into a military corps, and were
some reliable person to take the lend, some
thing might doubtless be accomplished,—
The trouble heretofore has been a superflu
ity of otkers i every man feeling himself
entitled to command, and none disposed to
he subordinate. The officers are generally
instrumental in organizing a company, and
their rivalry has eventuated, on most men- I
sions, in a row. We propose that some pa
triotic
individual who feels in his bosom a
military ardor, and has confidence in his
capacity to make a good private, shall head
a list, and form a company entirely of Fri
rates; then, when officers are needed ; let
the men elect them :rum the thousands of
eager applicants. Thus there will he no
malcontents in the ranks, and the disap
pointed candidates can get up a company of
their own—all officers.

T. B. PETERSON & BROTHERS have, this
day issued the second volume of their 'new
and cheap edition of Charles Dickens'
Works for the Million, to be completed in

ume. The cheap literature of former years
did not tend much to elevate its readers,
but the reading that Peterson now gives, at
prices which scarcely cover the cos!.; of
printing, is of the very best character, and
must exercise a wholesome influence over
the public taste, by making all readers Re
acquainted with the works of the best fic
tion writers in the English language. A
reader in the country fur one dollar can
have the first four of these volumes trans
mitted to him, or the whole twenty-eight
volumes will be sent for five dollars. The
second volume, issued to-day, contains the
conclusion of Oliver Twist and the com
mencement of the Pickwick Papers.
We have received from the same pub

Slight inaccuracies in focal information or

book is designed to deseribe and illustrate
are less pardonable. The author sets Col

whereas it is
the
80 to the .point where the
road enters the borough. The 81st mile
carries you alttrost through the town. The
following, from the descril tion of,Colembia,
will be regarded by our friends over the

"At the other fired of the bridge is the

Apart from these little inaccuracies, Mr.
Ayres appears to have collected a vast deal
of information which will be of interest to
travelers, and which be presents in accept

roads leading from Harrisbttrg, Pittsbarg,

JAPAN LEGERDEMAIN.—Iie threw up the
sleeves of his dress, and showed a piece of
mire tissue paper, which he held in his
hand. It was about six inches square, and
by dexterous and delicate manipulation, he
formed it into a very good imitation of a
butterfly, the wings being extended, and at
the most each was one inch across. llold
ing the butterfly out in the palm of his hand,
to show what it was, he placed two ermdle's
which were beside hint, in such a position
as to allow him to wave a fan rapidly, with
out affecting the flame, and then, by a gen
tle motion of his fan ever the paper insect,
he proceeded to set it in motion. A coun
ter-draught of air from some quarter inter•
fered with his efforts, and made the butter
fly truant to ids will, and the screen had to
he removed a little to remedy this.
He then threw the paper butterfly in the
air and gradually it seemed to acquire life
from the nation of his fan—now wheeling
and clipping toward it, now tripping along
its edge, now hovering over it, as we may
see a butterfly do over a flower on a fine
summer's day, then in wantonness wheeling
away, and again returning to alight, the
wings quivering with nervous restlessness.
One could have declared it was a living
creature. Now it flew off to the light, then
the conjurer recalled it, and presently sup•
plied a mate in the shape of another butter
fly, and together they rose and played about
the old man's fan, varying their attention
between flirting with one another and flut
tering around the edges of the fan. We re
peatedly saw one on each aide of it as he
held it nearly vertically, and gave the fan a
short quick motion; then one butterfly
would pass over to the other, both would
wheel as if in play and again return.
A plant with some flowers stood in a pot
near at hand, by gentle movements of the
fan, the pretty little creatures were led np
to it, and then their delight! how they
played about the leaves, sipped the flowers,
kissed each other, and whisked off again
with the airs and graces of real butterflies!
the audience were in ecstasies, and young
and old clapped their hands with delight.—
The exhibition ended, when the old man ad
vanced to the front of the stage, within
arms length of us all, accompanied by his
magic butterflies, that even in the open air
continued to play round the magician and
fan. As a feat of legerdemain, it was by
far the most beautiful hick we have ever
beard of, and one that must require an im

The great standard medicines of the present
age, have acquired their great popularity only

tion is rendered by them in all cases; and the
people have pronounced them worthy.
Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Jaundice,
Debility of the Nervous System,
Diseases of the Kidneys,
and all diseases arising from a disordered
ricer or weakness of the stomach and digestire
organs, are speedily and permanently cured by
Me GERMAN BITTERS.
The Balsamic Cordial has acquired a
reputation surpassing that of any similar pre
paration extant. It will cure, wrruorr rszt,
the most severe and long-standing
Cough, Cold, or Hoarseness, Bronchitis, In
fluenza, Croup, Pneumonia, Incipient
Consumption,
and has performed the most astonishing cures
ever known of
Confirmed Consumption.
A few doses will also at once check and
cure the most severe Dlarrhauw proceeding
from COLD IN THZ BOWZLS.
These medicine/ are prepared by Dr. C. M.
