We happened to witneis an amusing lit
t'e incident, which oceured in the wholesale
dry goods establishment situated on the
northwest corner of Sr. Francis and Water
a rects, a day or two since, which was worth
publishing.
A widow lady of our scrin.iii.i.mee
two little buys agad about eight years—
twins—who for oneness of size, features,
v,,ice, and action would rival the celebrated
twins of San Francisco. They are so much
alike that even the mother is at times puz
zled to tell which is Willie and which is
Welter. When one of them dr:serves a spank
i ig the other utmost invariably :Jets it; and
03 account of their exact likeness to each
other, she recently came near losing one of
them. She had occasion to administer a
small dose of paregoric to Willie, and a few
minutes afterward Walter scouted to need
something of the same sort. t. , ,he turned
fur is moment to get the medicine, but in
that time the boys had got mixed, and by
some means Willie swallowed another dose,
and /shortly afterward went to bed and fell
asleep. Ile continues in stupor for some
torelve nr fif ten hours, ranch to the aston
ishment and alarm of the mother, who saw
at upon Walter the drug had no affect.—
It was not unt,l Willie told her that she had
,":":en him two doses that she discovered the
asi4take. But to the incident.
The mother having sotto business to trans
act
in the store, touk the two boys with her.
They store dressed exactly alike, and during
the stay of their mother they
.each took a
&Md in separtte doors fronting on Water
street, to see what vrns to be seen. While
standing there, An old gentleman who was
walking slowly by saw one of them, and,
struck by
. the , little fellow's intelligent coun
tenance and healthy look, stopped and ask
ed him his name.
"My name is Willie, sir," replied the lit
tie ono.
"Al,. a very pretty name, and a very prat
!), boy," said the old gent, patting him on
the head. "Ilere's a dime for you."
Passing on to the nest door, he observed .
'Walter, standing in the same posture that
IVillie had occupied, and supposing it was
Willie who had run there to see him as he
passed, he stopped again to take another ad.
miring look at him.
"Do you live in Mobile, Willie?" asked
the old gent.
"My name ain't Willie, said Walter.
"Why didn't you just now tell me at the
other door, that your name wag Willie?"
"No sir, my name is Walter."
"Oh I thought you said 'Willie, a while
ago, when you stood in the other door, and
I gave you a dime."
"I niat been in the other door, and you
didn't give me no dime," said Walter.
The old gentleman looked at him a mo
ment as though the good opinion he had form
ed..,,,was fast changing, and then walked
slowly back to Willie's door. The old gent
looked at him steadily.
"Mt! Walter," said he, "you shouldn't
tell stories. Bad children tell stories. You
must be a good boy, Walter."
"I ain't told no stories, sir, and my name
nin't Walter; my name's Willie," said the
confused little fellow.
"Weil. ',bat made :coo say, nt the other
door, that your tame was Walter, and that
I didn't give you a dime?"
` , I never said an, sir," said "and
I ain't been in Vother door."
"Why, you precious little scamp," said
the old man, somewhat excited, "what do
you mean? At this door you're Willie; at
the other you're Walter. Hem you say, I
have you a dime; there, you say, I didn't.—
Here, 3.au say, you barn's been at the other
door; there, you say, , :ott havu't been at
this. You should be ashamed of yourself,
sir. 'When you grow up to be n.
Just here Walter, who had heard the loud
talking walked round to Willie's side, and
there the two stood in front of the old gem
tiernan, who was perfectly bewildered. Ife
soon comprehended the whole matter. how
ever, and when ho did, he took the dime
hack from Willie, and then gave them half
a dollar each.

remaining citizens who are unacquainted
with this erer impending official can obtain
a view of his expressive and good-natured
countenance, at an important reduction of
the usual terrible cost, by calling at Jolley's
rooms, right over against the Spy office.
THE Hors LODGE Eves!Nas.—We spoke
of this effort on the part of the members of
trope Lodge of Good Templars to provide
our citizens with a rational weekly enter
tainment, at the time of its intention, in
terms of commendation, and have since giv
en such report of each succeeding lecture
and discussion as our time and space has
admitted. We believe the Evenings may be
set down as a success, and we refer to them
now as suggestive, in coneequence of their
success. We hare reason to believe, from
the attendance of, and apparent interest ex
hibited by a class of our citizens, respecta
ble in numbers, character and intelligence.
that the great want of our community, a
liberally supported public library or read-
itig room, is tangibly felt and might now be
successfully supplied by an effort on the
part of those who see in the Hope Lodge 1
reunions a pleasant variety and an accept
able escape from the cankering, rusting ma
' notony of our stagnant society, Our people
are thrown too little together in public, and
1 the result is that even in the occasional town
meetings called in the borough, but few citi
-1 zens assemble and each man seems afraid
of his neighbor. Any public institution—
call it Library, Reading Room, Lyceum, or
what you will—that can be made a place of
free resort at all times, and the means of
I introducing either a winter's course of lee-
I turas from the popular lea crerl4, or lectures
i and discussions aimilar in character to the
present Hope Lodge Evenings, would be a
beneGt and a credit to Columbia. Such as
sociations should lead to a refinement of
taste, a diffusion of useful information anti
lan unanimity of interest in the social and
1 intellectual standing of the town. We on
-1 dorstand the difficulties which stand in the
i way of •tn undertaking of this kind, and we
i therefore, do not propose en effort to effect
la regeneration of the public mind by means
iof a. Little Pedlington Great Moral Literary
Union: but we sincerely believe that it is
within the resources of even Columbia pub
lic spirit to compass the founding of a read
ing room, which may grow in time to a re
spectable public library. The reading room
is 4 possibility, and its Wei- developement
would depend upon circumstances. We of
fer the suggestion now, as at a proper time,
and ask its consideration by the number of
gentlemen and ladies who, by their evident
interest in the hope Lodge Lectures gave 1
rise to a thought upon this subject. When
die present course of lectures shalt tenni
! nate let there be a means devised for further
i informal public entertainment.
DRUCEERIIILLTR'S - LAST "Pougs."—We
acknowledge the—receipt, direct ; Fonts the
!author, of a copy of each of. the fast three
productions of our LaneasteiiCounty lyrist,
Druiltermiller of Mount Joy.` "I!,etrospec-
tiono 4 7o. 2.," is:a comprehensive svarnmary
of, events subsequent to.the appearance of
..No: 1." The poet opens idih-a_bold dash
for a "dead head" to the next County Fair;
he does a fair business in stroking with the
fur a goodly number of the tradesmen, &c.,
of the Cuanty {we hope George is not going
to harness his Pegasus to an advertising
( van!) and is particularly severe upon e
i backsliding clergy of the land. "The Beard
'Question" is a strong defence of the badge
of manhood (to which, by the way, the poet
has voted the entire freedom of his counte
nance where it flourishes in wild and patri
archal lu x uriance) on physiological princi-
I pies. lie clinches his argument with a pro
-1 position that the sharers shall apply their
"clean and easy" theory to the beasts (he
1 does not exactly refer to the unproductive i
result of the celebrated attempt of that
wicked old shaver who always keeps his
water hot, old Nick, to shear one of the
"brutes of the barn") and abide by the re
sult. This stirring lyric may be sung to the
tune of "The Banks of the Dee." (Does the
author here hint at any connection between
Banks and shaving?) The third and last of
these ensiuns is "The lfarper's Ferry In
surrection." It is sufficient to say of this
1 remarkable production that it is eminently
conservative in character and might be cir
culated south of Mason and Dixon without
being considered "incendiary," We must,
however, criticise the lyrist's choice of the
air to which ho has adapted his lines; a song
commemmoratiog the great invasion should
surely be to the "Tune the old cow died of."
Altogether we think our poet's reputation
is sustained by these latest works. We nre
happy to announce that his pan is not idle:
"Retrospection Nu. 3," may bo expected in
the Spring.
IL:WE LODGE LECTUICE.—The seventh Hope
Lodge Evening, of Thursday, 16th inst.,
WI/S well attended by a more than usually
interested audience. Mr. Myers acted es
Chairman of the evening, and introduced
the lecturer Mr. U. $. Essick, whose sub
ject, as announced last week, was Capital
Punishment.
The lecturer stated 1)1.5 prMilit3/3 as opposed
to capital punishment and in favor of its
abandon, at the commencement of his re
marks. lie proposed a review of the his•
tory of the death penalty, and commencing
with its irfliction under the Mosaic law,
brought it down to the present day and
home to our very doors. Ile noted its grad
ual abolition until in some countries it has
disappeared entirely, while amongst post
uhristian and civilized nations only the more
heinous crimes nro punished with death.—
The speaker then referred to the Scriptural
arguments of the advocates of capital pun
ishment and opposed them by a denial that
the civil laws of the Jews under the Mosaic
dispensation are morally binding upon es.
lie denied that any moral law can be found
in the bible enjoining the shedding of hu
man blood. Ile neat considered the ques
tion in its social bearings. Ile denied that
the legal intliction'of death has a more sal
utary effect in the prerention of crime—
which is the chief end and aim of all human
penalties for crime--than has judicious and
I inevitable imprisonment, on conviction,
where this mode of punishment has super
seded the time-honored, but none the less
barbarous, gallows and use. The lecturer
presented statistics fully sustaining him in
his position, and concluded with the expres-1
sion of an earnest and heartfelt wish that
we may live to see this relic of barbarism
erased from our statute books.
The lecturer's remarks were listened to
with profound attention, and his close and
coherent argument against the punishment
of death was followed with unflagging in
terest. We must compliment the gentleman
on the clearness and force with which he
presented amd backed tip his side—the strong
est and eventually the wining side, as we
believe—of a momentous question.
Caldwell followed the lecturer and
directly opposed his views. fle believed in
the necessity and unequaled efficacy of cap
ital punishment, Ile planted himself upon
the bible and held to the letter of the divine
laws given to Noah and Moses. Ile believed
that the command "whoso sheddeth man's
blood, by man shall his blood be shed!" was
not to be tnisundorstood or disregarded. He
quoted St. Paul and• St. Peter in support of
his position and was proceuding to contro
vert some of the statistical conclusions of
the lecturer when the chairman called
"time."
Mr. Oberlin agreed entirely with the lec
turer, and of course, directly opposed Mr.
Caldwell's views. He, also, took the sarip
tures as his basis and support in inveighing
against the cruelty and anti-christian char
acter
of the death penalty.
Mr. floss while he agreed with the lectur
er in bis arguments age oat capital punish
ment, differed with him in his conclusion
that the world is prepared for its entire
abolition. While crime is made an item of
business and speculation by the press of the
country, which temps with every revolting
detail, pandering to a depraved appetite fur
unhealthy excitement, some powerful coun
teracting influence to the recklessness and
vice thus engendered by daily familiarity
with its incidents, must exist, and he believ
ed the horrors of the death penalty to be the
most efficient.
Mr. Fisher folly and entirely agreed with
the lecturer in every position taken by him.
Tie deemed capital punishment a relic of
barbarism. and op?osed to the enlight
ened philanthropy of oar time and nation.
tie regarded the scriptural arguments of its
advocates, based upon the requirements of
the Mosaic law, ns absurd. If the letter of
that law is to be binding in one relation,
why not in alit Under the Mosaic- dispen
sation elavery ind polygamy were legal and
accepted institutions. Now if tile death
penalty must be enforced polygamy may he
revived, and every man is at liberty to re
wire. Mr. F. did not. regard the murderer
as the worst or most dangerous member of
socisty, and was going on to state his insi
tion more fully when 'Mime" was called by
the - chairman. -
Mr. Robbins defended the accepted read
ing ,of the passage of scripture quoted by
Mr. Caldwell frorc the attacks of cornmeu ts
tors. [The lecturer bad, in the course of
his -remarks., stated tbat the law was sus
ceptible of varieties readings, modifying or
entirely altering its sense, and had quoted
the renderings of different translators.] We
understood Mr. R. to be opposed to the
abolition of punishment by death; but the
gentleman was, to the regret of the audience, I
unable to proceed with his remarks, from
Mr. Menges complimented the lecturer,
as such preface seemed to be a necessary
. i
/ one to the remarks of every speaker; he did
not wish to be nn exception to the general
rule. He, however, must differ with the
lecturer on ninny of his positions; but he
would first express his surprise and disap
probation of the manner in which the scrip
tures bad been handled during the evening.
The quotations were good, opt and proper,
but the comments were terrific. Ile had
never heard the divine word so misused.
and considered that it bordered on irrever
ence to characterize, as had been done, a
law of God as a relic of the dark ages. Mr
Menges defended the English version of the
scriptures from the imputation of incorrect
! ness. lie was very earnest in his remarks.
which were prematurely brought to a conclu
sion by 'time" from the chair.
Mr. Albright remarked that man was a
curiously constituted animal.
Mr. Fraley said that all his better feel
logs revolted againAt the horrible thought of
taking human life in revenge for crime. He
could not believe it possible, that nny Chris
tian man could draw from the holy scriptures
a plea for judicial murder.
A. motion to adjourn WAS here made and
seconded, but before it was entenitted to the
audience Mr. Kauffman moved to amend by
i
adding "to meet again nt this place on next
i Saturday evening, fur the further considera
tion of the question now under discussion.
Ho stated that the object of his amendment
was to afford several gentlemen who were
anxious to speak on the question, an oppor
tunity to do so. Mr. Menges stated, as
chairman of the committee regulating the
"Evenings," that no other but the regular
meetings projeeted by the members of Hope
Lodge could be held under the auspices of
that ' , moiety. This need not, however, pre
vent the citizens meeting on their own re
sponsibility whorl and where they please;
whereupon Mr. Kauffman called for a vote
on his amendment, took the yeas and nays
himself and pronounced it carried in the
affirmative. The chairman of the meeting
interposed and asserted his authority. As
Mr. Mangos hod decided that no adjourned
meeth g could be regularly held, the meet
ing could not entertain Mr. Kauffman's re
solution. If the citizens desired a meeting.
provision must first be made for securing
the hall and paying for it. Mr. Fisher and
Mr. Caldwell advocated an adjourned meet-
ing. Mr. North who was appealed to by'
o n e of the speakers, remarked that he had i
desired to take part in the discussion, after
1 listening to the remarks of the various gen
tlemen, but there had been no time when the
flour was unnccupied. Ile thought all the re
marks necessary could be made -previous to
an adjournment. Mr. Menges now an
nounced that certain members of IlopeLudg,• i
had tweed to make themselves responsible
for the hull for an adjourned meeting on
Saturday evening, provided the regular fee
for single admittance be paid. On this un
derstanding the meeting adjourned.
Previous to the ajournmetit the chairman
announced Mr. D. ft. Brubaker us the lec
turer for next Thursday evening. His sub
ject will be: The perversion of our National
Government from the object of its founders.
we are requested to announce, by a:em
bers of Elope Lodge. that as agreed by them
an extra •'Evening" will be held in the
Old Fellows..ll.lll this (Saturday) evening
nt the usual hour. In consideration of chi,-
being an additional entertainment not stip
' Mated in the "bond", peons will not be

"REPORTED DT Our: BI'ECIM MorCDARD."
A VOLUNTEER. "N. 4.11 EM."—On the evening ,
of Tuesday, 7th inst., one Joseph bolt, va
grant, solicitor of cold victuals, was encount
ered on his beat in Walnut street by "Butch
Hen," hostler at the Flora Temple, and he
that worthy was overcome and lea to the
Blue Front in noisy triumph. The captor
made a comprehensive charge in his native
tongue, which being, interpreted laid at the
door of his prisoner every offense against
taw and the public peace of which one man
cram be guilty, and called upon the Squire
to send Ilolt down fur three months. The
volunteer constabulary also proffered his
services as escort to the "vagrom man," in
his downward journey to Cadweliville—he
was confident that "Joe" would give him
his beat team.
The magistrate gave slight heed to hen
ry's little stroke of business, his mind was
busy with an interesting problem in mental
arithmetic: given, one vagrant, good for
-dollars of costs, what will be the net
profit in sending down both parties? Con
fused by so intricate a mental calculation
the Squire's result varied from a year's sub
scription to the Spy tin advance) to a new
Roumfort coat, and he was tinnily compelled
to come down to pencil and paper, .when
apparently satisfied with his little multirdi
cation, ho decided on one of those cross-cut
ting, double-barreled decisions for which his
court is so celebrated, and committed the
"special" and his prey. "lien" was out
reged and both swore and cried in his ver
nacular. bet the captives were inexorably
handed over to the regulnr police fur incar
ceration. They were loosed up for the night in
the cellar, but some of the hostler's friends,
by payment of costs, nrecured en order for
his release. On opening the lockup the
volunteer was found moved ever: to tears,
his victim having kicked him out of bed
and otherwise despitefully used him. nen
ry swore roundly that his brief career as a
deputy constnble had ended then and there.
Wrt,usu TIM COMIC:ITO, I --On Wednes
day, Stli inst., a small-nigger-gram was re
ceived pp the Blue Front to the effect that
William Heater, of the Hill, was then en
joying the luxury of drubbing his wife, beat
ing his children, and threatening hie imme
diate neighbors with u similar taste of his
quality. The entire police force was dist,
Patched to the seat of war with orders to I
capture the mighty Hunter at all hazards.
The constabulary drew up before the domi
cile of 'William And held a council of war.
It was deemed prudent, in consideration of
the known prowess of the belligerent, to
adopt precautionary measures, so it was
agreed that Hollingsworth should surround
the mansion while the Sheriff entered and
made the arrest. The programme was
strictly carried out and so was the
* High
Constable, who, after three sharply con
tested roan is, in which he found the hickory
of his baton decidedly inferior in density to
the east iron and wool of the darkey's bead,
was landed in the middle of the main thor
oughfare of Sawneytown. The. Sheriff
liPd. however, ecalled up his reserve, and
with the beleaguering force redoubled his
p3rsuasive efforts. An uncommonly coax
ing thwack from Hollingsworth's truncheon
at lest touched bottom and William's feel
ings—that worthy listened to reason. He
was led to the Blue Front fur hearing and
disposal, In explanation and extenuation
William announced that he didn' care a
d—n. He hadn' been drunk since he
lust left jail—two months age—and hadn'
beat de 010 'oman fu'—well, it seemed a age
to him, an' he thought aim needed a good
dressin' an' he was de nigger could serb her
out. Ile beat his wife jlet, when he thought
she wanted it, or when he wanted to, it
'mounted to de same thing, e me he warn'
gwine to hab ole Sam Wade inte'fe'in' wid
his d'mestic 'rangements. He didn' care fn'
de law an' he talent 'fraid ob do officers—

couldn' do nuffin but men' a darkey down fu'
three months, an' fu' his pa't he'd rather
be down in jail don not; he'd been down
three times a'ready, an' was fed fus' rate
dorm' de entire time ob his soj'u'n.
The 'Squire was about taking William at
his word and giving him ninety days, but
the drake.) , reckoned up on his fingers that
a three months' retirement would carry him
past the Spring business on Mae river, •tncl,
pitifully plead with the magistrate to tem-
per his justice with It few days of mercy
Tho 'Squire recognizing the bad policy of
turning Bill loose upon the community in
the Summer, unemployed, mitigated the sen
tence and gave Hunter fifty Jaye, which
will let him out about the first of April, to
take part in the lumber drawing and to
beat his wife again at will, Hollingsvrorth's
Express was called into service fur trans
portation of the condemned to his place of
temporary exile.

CAN EPILEPSY BE CURED ?
We think the following letter from a re
spectable citizen of Mississippi will answer
the question, and remove all doubts from every
Unbiased mind:
GISEXADA, Miss., June 5, 1855.
Dr. Seth S. Hance, Baltimore, Md.--Dear
Sir: I take great pleasure in relating a case
of spasms or fits, cured by your invaluable
Pills. My brother, J. J. Ligon, has long been
'Minted with this awful disease. He was first
attacked while quite youug. He would have
one or two spasms at one attack at first; but
as he grew older, they seemed to increase like
wise. Up to the time he commenced taking
your Pills, he bad them very often and quite
severe, prostroting him body and micd. His
mind bad sulfered seriously: but now, I am
happy to say, he is cured of tbose fits. He has
enjoyed fine health for the last five months
past. me mind has also returned to its origi
nal
sprightliness. All this I take a great pleas-
ore in communicating, as it may be the means
of directing others to the remedy that will
cure them. Yours ?respectfully. &c.
W. Zr. Ligon.
No person who is suffering horn Yits or
Spasms, should neglect ■ending to Dr. Hance,
after this, for a supply of his inestimable me
dicine. His prices are as follows: one box 5.3;
two $5; twelve s2l—seat by mail free, on Abe
