A
CRICEET Cztra.—A meeting for
the purpose of organizing a Cricket Club
was held in the Town flail on last Friday
erening, at which officers were elected and
a Constitution and By-Laws adopted. The
"name, style and dat! selected was "Col
umbia Cricket Club."
.The officers elected
were:
President—ansuel W. Mifflin.
Vice-Prerident—Amos S. Green
Secretary—M. D. Wilson.
Treasurer—N. McDonald,
Ground Committee—Samuel W. Muffin,
Lewis Merrill, John Wright, H. Brooke,
Westley A. Martin.
The club is now fairly organised and we
hope it will'beeorne a - permanent-institution.
On Wednesday afternoon a number of the
members assembled for play in one of the
fieldsuf M. M. Strickler, just outside the
borough, and made an initial attempt at a
game. Being green hands the performance
was not brilliant, as play; but as exercise
it went as far as if it had been first-class.—
We took a hand, and our effort at rejuvenation
resulted in as sure a skin-full of muscles as
'we have any desire to tote. We dreamed
that night that we had volunteered as Heen
an's substitute in his battle with Sayers for
the champions belt, the which encounter was
then and there in fearful progress. It mny
be unnecessary to add that we did'nt ra.rry
off the trophy. At this writing we are
slcwlv convalescing.
From the interest excited by the game
played on last Wednesday, imperfect as it
was, we believe that Cricket will find favor
in our town. Already the boys have got
together a club, and we hear of another
umongst the young men. Tito more the
better. We have got some good material
if the spirit can be gut up and kept up.—
Those who are most deficient in the physi
cal qualities necessary for good players,
however, are they who most need this ex
ercise. Men who, like ourself, are confined
to the desk or office, require some stirring
exercise, and in Cricket it will be found,
combining more excitement and interest
than in any other game. Want of time is
the general excuse of business men fur ne
glect out-door exercise. It will be found, in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, that
one ar two afternoons in a week devoted to
some active game, will result in an economy
of time—rertainly of health. therefore ne•
cessarily of time—in the long run. We
heartily wish the "Columbia Cricket Club,"
and every other similar Club, success and
lung life.
"OLD Baows."—Like a large majority of
the community we are very tired of "Old
Brown" and his chivalric Virginia captors
—no, beg pardon, be was overcome by the
Federal forces—jailors, and, by this time,
executioners. We have.admired until even
our enthusiasm failed b.:keep up the interest,
Governor Wise's admirable warlike disposi
tion of troops and preparation for that
"army of rescue"—that terrible paper
army, destined to overcome Virginia with
ridicule, more difficult to repel than would
have been a bone fide incursion of "sympa
thizers." We only recur to the subject to
introduce the fullovving, extract from the
Charleston 3fercary, which shows that the
South—at least outside of Virginia—appre
ciates the pleasing and creditable rosition
into which the chivalry of the "Old Domin
ion" hare worked themselves in their 'Funk.
Referring to the rep , wted offer of aid by
Govern n. Gist of South Carolina to Govern-
OT Wise of Virginia, since proved to he can•
ard. it says:
We are satisfied that every intelligent
man in the South has been completely dis
gusted at the broad and pathetic farce that
has been played off hef .re the public about
the hanging of that hoary villain, "Old
Brown." From the 500 invaders in posses
sion of Harper's Ferry and the 1.000 ne
grocs carried off to the mountains of Penn
sylvania—from the further invasions and
threats of invasion—the arsons and fears of
arson—the marches and countermarches, of
the panics and ceisation of panics—G
ernor Wise, the energetic, and his troops—
down to the final climax of military ail of
fered by Governor Gist of South Carolina
to the Governor of Virginia, fw the purpose
of making certain the aforesaid hanging of
Old Brown A-. Co.—it is a tissue of disgraee
exaggeration and invention sufficieut to stir
the gall of any Southerner, who has regard
for the dignity and responsibility of the
I Southern people. To us it really looks as
if t,boee in possession of the tetograph were
in league to ridicule the S ‘u:11 awl make ui
a lauAbing stocs to nnrielvos and before the

A NEw Boos.—Messrs. Brown, Taggard
&Chase of Halton announce the publication
of a volume by Dr. Hayes. entitled "An
Arctic Boat Journey in the Autumn 0f1854."
This will be a most interesting addition to
the story of circumpolar experiences. It
contains the history of an attempt, in open
boats, by eight persons, setting out from
the brig 'Advance," (then in her winter
quarters at Rensselner Harbor) to reach
Upernavik, in North Greenland, the most
Northern outpost of civilization. The die
lance was one thousand miles, and the party
were caught in the ice by an early closing I
in of the winter. After living nearly three
months in a snow but among the Esqui
maux, the party traveled three hundred and
fifty miles, in the middle of the Arctic
night—a journey without precedent in the
annals of those perilous countries
The novelties of Arctic narrative aro by
no means exhausted by previous publica
tions. and the community will doubtless
welcome a book which, avoiding the beaten
track of the many expeditions that have
gone in search of Sir John Franklin, pre-
Rents to its readers lively pictures of more
remote regions, and of personal adventure
of which there has been, hitherto, nu record.
The volume will be illustrated by a new
map, by which the public will be enabled
to obtain a clearer idea of the principal
field of Arctic ad4enture than by moat

SHREINER'S STOVE 'AGSIIS siramssrui..
Among the awards of the Fulton Institute
of Lancaster, we notice that our townsman,
Mr. Philip Shreiner, received a Silver Med
al for his Furnace, neater, Ornamental. Hall
"Stove, Parlor Stove and Parlor Cook; also
a certificate of honorable mention .for a
Plain Stove. Mr. Shreiner has taken all
the - honors offered near home and some
abroad. This must be gratifying to Mr. S.
and certainly should be to his fellow citi
zens. We have always contended that this
stove is destined to take nermanctit place
among the great inventions of the day, and
its complete euccess justifies us in our opin•
ion. The Shreiner principle is bound to be
adopted everywhere. We congratulate Mr.
Shreiner on his new success at the Fulton
Institute.
A CARD.—Some malicious wretch, on Sat
urday evening last, threw from Union st.,
a stone of considerable size at the window
of the study of the Rev. Dr. Leitner, which
crushed the glass and fell harmless at the
feet of that gentleman. The perpetrator of
this act will without doubt be sorry to learn
that the Reverend gentleman suffered no
personal injury from the assault—for which
hia many friends are profoundly grateful.
If he who did this, is under the impression
that such acts are indicative of an American
and patriotic spirit, it is time that he should
be undeceived; if, on the contrary it was
caused only by a "playful ebullition of
spirits," he will oblige perhaps as good citi
zens xis himself by exercising a proper and
salutary restraint upon his "playfulness."
Further, if he will call at the office of the
subscriber he can have the missile—now no
doubt rendered highly valuable for the ser
vice it has done—returned to him with some
words of good advice, and a warning, that
may perhaps, save him from an impending
fate more elevated than agreeable.

"REPORTED BY OUR SPECIAL SIOL'CITATID."
TUE WRONG PAESI:NI:MR.—On the evening
of Wednesday, 30th ult., Jacob Sager, oth
erwise "Dutch Jake," appeared before Es
quire Welsh, covered with blood arid dirt,
and "swore his life" against one Susan
Smith, who had committed a violent assault
upon his person with intent to wipe him out.
The police being on duty in the lower ward
the Justice seized hie baton and repaired to
the basin to arrest the sanguinary Susan.—
He found that crowing and fighting hen at
her residence near the Penn's Railroad
Freight Depot, and drove her captive be
fore him to the Blue Front. On hearing it
was establisbed that Su- , an, who is an ath
letic mulatto, enjoyed athirst for stimulating
liquors, which she had that day quenched
with most potent McGinnis i.i sufficiMit
quantity to stir her bile and curdle her nat
urally saccharine disposition. In this state
of exaltation she met with provocation front
two white males, to deponent unknown, WV]
retiring into her dwelling armed herself wit I,
a hatchet, with which she returned to th.•
attack. Forming. herself ie , o cnionnt
beat the pas de charge, and rush, , 1, m ,
lowered and weapon upraised. to the e••oi
bat. Debouching on the street she assault
ed the first body of troops she met, and this
happened by ill chance to he Jacob tine
complainant. She effected ac inplete coup.
and got her weapon home on the German's
head before he was aware of the atntelt.—
Although taken by surprise Jake was by no
means routed. Rallying his forces he came
back at Susan, and taking possession of her
weapon of offense, knocked her down and
trampled her under foot.
Susan in defense exhibited blond. mn , l,
and duds, the latter in very dilapidated con
dition. She swore she could whip any
white man in Columbia, saving and except
ing plaintiff, whose old Dutch head '•turned
de hatchet like Fon." "'Squish, ef't'd bin
any oder head but dot hard, oneens'ble old
cranium, de hatchet was bound to fetch it.
I tell you, 'Squiah, I doesn't hit no fool
lick when I puts myself down to it.—
'Squish, de Dutchman done ruined my bon
net—he's boun' to pay fo dat. I walues
dat nrticle at three fips, I does. Make him
fork ever."
It having boon fully and satisfactorily es
tablished by unimpeachable testimemy that
Susan, when drunk, was the terror of the
neighborhood, and it furthermore appearing
that she attained that desirable state of hap
piness about every fortnight, the. Justice
ruled that defendant, in default of $5OO
bail, should retire to Cmlweilville to await
trial at January term of Quarter Sessions.
Susan went down next morning per Hol
lingsworth opposition.
ArtaNrte MONTRLY.---The December
number of the "Atlantic" is the first issued
under the new management. The opening
article, "The Adventure of Samuel Absalom,
Filibuster," promises very fairly, and will
doubtless fully expose the iniquities, and
also the stirring adventure, accompanying
%Volker's raid on Central America. Mrs.
Stowe's "Minister's Wooing" is concluded,
as, alas! is Dr. Holmes' "Professor." The
latter has been so long a feature in the
Magazine, and so prominent and favorite a
one, that it will puzzle the editors to find a
sufficient substitute—unless the author will
give us something equally RS good. The
general contents of this number are of the
"Atlantic" character, and will compare
favorably with those of any former one.
Messrs. Ticknor e rk. Fields are too well known
for their enter Prise, intelligence and liber-
ality as publishers, to Fermis the Monthly
to deteriorate; we rather expect to see the
periodical, in their hands, improve in qual
ity and extend materially in circulation.

Its auibor is of medical distin ction, having

domes to us from Leonard Scott & Co., New

In the present number Thackerity's "Vir

both, we think. judiciously applied. Tile re
prints of Messrs. Scott & Co., are deservedly
p• pular, affording as they do, to the Amer
ican reader, the foreign periodicals at such
a moderate rate as to bring them within the
reach of any man who can take a magazine
at nil.
BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.—From the enure
publishers we have Blackvrood for Novem
ber. In it the "Luck of Ladysmede," an
interesting serial tale, is continued. A nar
rative of the discovery of a lake in Central
Africa, supposed to be the source of the
Nile, is also continued. Tennyson's "Idyls
of the King," is severely criticized, and
there are a number of other well written
papers.
RPER'S Msoszixr.—The December
number of Harper is fairly up to the
mark. The illustrations of a Central
American article by Meagher are excellent.
The stories of the present number are above
the common standard of tides, and the en
tire contents are well and carefully selected.
We miss the "Virginians," but expect the
editor's will replace Thackeray's great se
rial with something equally attractive.—
John NlcLenan gives a couple of pages of il
lustrations unworthy of his genius. The
fun is infinitesimal nd the paths in no lar
ger proportion. The editorial department
has its usual rarity of jest and earnest.
DOING A STRANIPUT CLERK.—On the last
trip of the Belfast down, her clerk, who is
cotom , ,nly wide awake as to rogues, was
done out of a passage y one of them in a
very 50•.11 , 1,.4 way. A gentleman, whom
svc,. ,411 Mr. C., with his wife, was
sriUthip on the wharf heat at Lake Provi
dence, for a boat to Vicksburg. They fell
in there with a personage whom we shall
call Mr. Sharper. also bound for Vicksburg.
When the Belfast stopped, they went on
kottrd together, and the clerk being busy in
looking after baggage. &c., did not take
-pecinl notice of the faces. After being set
tled in his state room, Mr. C. walked into the
clerk's office, entered himself and wife on
the register, and, paying the two passages,
retires. Late at night, the clerk saw a new
face, as he thought. in the cabin, and step
' ping u p, accosted him politely:
Y. u came on board at Luke Providence,
f think'?"
"Yes," said Mr. Sharper, blandly.
"Your name is nut registered, I think,"
said the clerk, hinting thus cpietly et Uhe
pmsgnge nmney
"Yes it is," replied the passenger; '•I put
it down immediately I came on hoard. You
will find it on your book."
"I don't remember," said the clerk, mn.
singly, "please step into the office and show
it to me."
In they went, and our passenger pointed
to the name of Mr. C.
"That's your name, then," said the clerk,
"you have your lady Olt board?"
"Ye•, but I am not sleepy, and I believe
I will sit up till the boat land,:."
"All right—beg your pardon you had
your shawl on when you came on board,
and I d'd not recognize your face."
'File boat landed at Vicksburg about three
in the morning, and the stranger disappear
ed with as little notice as he came on board-
Very early in the morning the clerk was
accosted abruptly by another man—
" Hello! we are past Vicksburg. I en
tered myself for Vicksburg. Why was I
nut called at VicksLurg?"
"Why, what's the trouble? Why did you
net tell me? What's your name?"
"C. sir, my name is C. I came on board
at Lake Providence. I put my name on
your register for Vicksburg, and here you
are taking me to New Orleans:"
The thing began to explain itself to the
puzzled clerk. "You are Mr. C. are you?" 8
"To be sure I am. Whlst of that?"
'Only," said the clerk. "that another man
passed himself off for you last night, and
got ashore without paying. I begin to un
derstand why be wanted to sit ap, and did
not want to be called at Mr. C.'s number."
Mr. C. was brought down to Natchez,
where be took a return boat for Vicksburg,
where he will keep a bright eye oat for the
man who personated him on the Belfast.—
The clerk thinks that man will do to travel
but on some other boat hereafter.—.N 0.
