Tuc We.t.rti,Ea rue Rivra.--That sectional party, the Honorable member from , the Arctic district, has invaded these lati ttides again and waged irrepressible war against flowring streams, early greens and livery horses. On Tuesday evertino, after a rather moist day, a miserable; driving searching sleet was suddenly changed by the Clerk tort more driving and more insid. ionslv searching snow, which fell—if such hurried descent did not indicate other im pelling influence than gravitation; it seemed to us that the grains (not flakes) had been pitched front .above—with stinging effect upon face and hands.

The steeds are the only pro testing parties; but the Clerk decides that they have no vote, and as he has inflicted the weather upon them they must bow to his will and the whips of the ungodly. I'iae.—On last Sunday evening aboth half past nine o'clock the carpenteer shop occupied by Mr. Alichael Lihhart, situated on the alley south of Locust Street betweeh Second and Third swag, *as discovered to be on fire.. Alarm was given and the firenien with their apparatus were on the ground as soon as possible. By the time the engines were in working order, however, the entire shop and adjoining sheds were in flames. It was evident that no part of the burning property could be saved, so the of forts of the firemen were mainly directed to staying the spread of the fire. On either side of the shop and sheds stood a frame sta ble, ono ; that or Mr: Jas. Vaughen, con taining hay, feed, &a., the other, on the lot of Mrs: Lowrey, being newly erected and unfinished. Both these buildings, as well as the more valuable dwellings on Locust Street, in dangerous proximity to the fire, were, by unceasing exertions on the part of the firemen and citizens, saved from de strue ion. The night was, fortunately, calm, ff or even the faithful stork of our untiring fireman—untiring in the face of continued neglect on the part of authorities and citi hens to furnish them a decent supply of hose so long and so loudly demanded—would scarcely have sulft-ed to control the confla gration. In the shop and adjoining out buildings there was a considerable quantity of finished work fur the interior of outbuild ings, which was entirely consumed, togeth er with a portion of machinery. The shop was of bri.:k, with sheet-iron linings to the shutters, and had stood while the destruc- t -the fire of 1516, originating on the same premises, swept almost the entire square around it. The fire was evidently the work of on incendiary, kindled inside the shop, and so effectually as to insure its headway before discovery. The work of destruction was speedy, the buildings being in smoking ruins in about an hour after the alarm was first given. We base not learned the exact amount of the damage, but believe the property wag fully in.sured. 1 After the lire vrac subdued 'Mrs. rinwrey, whose dwelling was one of thogd in the most imminent danger. hospitably served the firemen with It plentiful supply of hot ,to tree and lunch. throwing open her house and supplying those who sought refresh in-mt, till A lute hour. structitin and reeations of our nilsons those of the Jkils of but a few years past, and deduced 'did hopeful fact that !herd was progress even in penal inititutions, Mr. l'isber succeeded Mr. Merxes,, and while doncurring with the leetuftf in the necessity of reform in prison discipline, yet could, froM his own professional experience, testify to improvements which wefd Making their way among the penitentiaries and county prisons of the country. Rev. S. Appleton argued that of the three motives fur the punishment or criminals— ven geance,exam pl e and refurrtf— , - the last two only were admisssible. The motive of a pa rent in justly pttnishln,g a Child should be the true model on which to base the punish ment of an offender against the laws. Mr. Albright while he agreed with the apparently unanimous sentiment in favor of the moral re6rmation' of the criminal, yet differed with the previous spent.ers on the finegtion of human forgiveness. As punishment was administered fur example, the more extended and unforgiving the in fliction, the More terrible and eirectual time warning. Mr. Greider considered that the reforma tion of criminals should commence with re- Moving the temptations and inducements to crime. Many a min sinned through want and idleness. Give every man sufficient re tritmerative work, and as very few men choose the relic of criniinals a reformation will speedily result. Mr. Oberlin differed with the lust speaker. It was with a man to do right or wrong in despite of all adverse influences. Teach the um to resist the importunities of want, idleness, association, or. what not. The speaker thought a reformed criminal should meet with sympathy; but what avail reform• ation or sympathy after a man is hanged. Capital punishment should be abolished. br. McCorkle thought that bd t an inutile quote idea of the: working of our systems of prison government was to be formed from the reirwt of inspectors, visiting committees, &c. The gala dress was always put on, nn the coming of visitors. Under keepers ha.l too much latitude allowed them in their treatment of prisoners. Mr. llitumg,ardner considered that the greates'o•vil in our prison discipline is lack of erttployment for prisoners. Much evil example might be avoided by a j u di c i ous system of labor. The lecture for next Thursday evening was not announced. P. S. We have been since recine , teJ to an nounce J. U.

SIGNATURE Or THE CROSS.—The mark which persons who are unable to write are required to make instead of their signature is in the form of a cross, and this practice, having formerly been followed by kings and nobles, is constantly referred to as an in stance of the deplorable ignorance of an c:ent times. This signature is not, how ever, invariably proof of suet' ignorance; an ciently, the use of this mark was not con fined to illiterate persons; for amongst the Saxons the mark of the cros4, ns an attesta• tion of the good faith of the person signing, was required to be attached to the signa ture of those who could write, as well as to stand in the place of the signature of those who could not write. In those times, if a man could write, or even read, his know. ledge was considered proof presumptive that he was in holy orders. The word clericim or cleric was synonymous with penman; and the laity, or people who were not clerks, did not feel any urgent necessity for tiid use of letters. The ancient use of tho cross was therefore universal, alike by those who could and those who could not write; it was indeed, the symbol of an oath from its holy associations, and generally the mark. On this account Mr. Charles Eight, in his notes to the Pictorial Shakspeare, explains the ex pression of ••Clod save the mark," as a form of ejaculation approaching to the character of an oath. This phrase cedars three or more times in the plays of Shakspeare; but hitherto it has been left by the comments.- tors in its original obscurity, Ota-Agassiz has a human jaw and a por tiun of a foot taken from conglomerate rock in Florida, which lie thinks is at least ten thousand years old; he might add one hun dred thousand years as well. Dr. Dicken son has a portion of a human pelvis (a true fossil) obtained near Natchez, Mississippi —in tertiary deposits supposed to be one hundred and twenty thousand years old.— The world renowned Guadeloupe fossil, to which no antiquity has been assigned with any degree of probability, is Certainly as old. In fact no definate time or age can be as Bribed to any fossil; we can only approxi mate to it, and that n'.t very closely. We may say of fossils that they are ten thous and, one hundred thousand; or five hundred thousand years old, and yet that wilt seem short in geological computations.
