THE Mt-Ea.—The rain and continued
, thaw of the present %reek has had its logiti-
I mate effect on the ice of the Susquehanna.
'On Thursday morning the ice began to
move off the data in masses, slowly and '
gently. The rain had 'pretty effectually
thinned it down, and ft parted with little
apparent reluctance, being moved thereto
by the rising strettm. As we write—Thurs
day afternoon—the dam is partially cleared
of ice, the remaining-slush floating off grad
ually and withotit eclat. If the now on the
mountains bore its usual proportion to the
fall in this section, and has been dissipated
by as sudden and complete a thaw as has
prevailed here, we way look for a rapid and
considerable rise in the river, It is early
to anticipate our "Yankee" friends, but the
gentle airs which have brought languor and
laziness into our sanctum should certainly
be the precursors of shad flies and the river

EICIITII HOPE LnDGE EVE:CIRC.—Our space
has been almost entirely disposed of this
week, and we must condenser our report of
the Lecture and debate of Thursday evening.
Mr. Brubaker was ir•.troduced to the audi
once by Mr. Essick. The lecturer opened
with an eulogy of the character of Wash
ington. The gentleman spoke feelingly and
eloquently of the patriotic struggles of the
Revolutionary heroes, and of the pure, un
selfish spirit which actuated them in the es
tablishment of our government. He con
trasted the motives and conduct of public
men of the early days of the republic, with
the knavery and rowdyism of our present race
of legislators. He pointed very markedly
at tho corruption of the present administra•
tion, but disavowed any intention to single
out one political party as more corrupt than
another. The gentleman concluded as he
began with glowing wools in praise of Wash
inwton
•
After the usual interval Mr. Caldwell
announced that Major Ditmars of Lancas
ter was present, and moved that he be re
qnested to take part in the discussion. A
hearty response from the audience brought
the Major to his feat. We regret our ina
bility to more than sketch bis remarks.

the Revolutionary war naked and despoiled.

Mr. Oberlin agreed with the lecturer iu
his view of the depravity of our officials.—
•Had hope fur the country if the women be
allowed to come to the rescue. Advocated
female suffrage.
Mr. Albright differed with the lecturer.
Believed that the patriots of the present
.day are as pure and as numerous as they
over were. Afended our present executive ,
from• aspersione of speakers.
Mr. Bokius rose as the representa.ive of
Young America, and was proceeding to put
Mr. Albsight's remarks to the test of criti
cism when that gentleman interposed and
desired Mr. B. mot to become personal. Mr.
&skies turned to the subject of discussion
and spoke fur some minutes in an original
and amusing strain.
Mr. Caldwell defended the patriots of
the present day. Instanced the heroes of
the Mexican war as notable examples.
Mr. Menges had heard gentlemen con
tend that there are patriots now-a-days. If
so they should bear a distinguishing mark
upon back or forehead so that the world
might know them. Ile thought the politi

JAM or Ice.—Since writing. a paragraph
on the clearing of the ice from the river, we
find that from obstructions on the dam the
drift ice ban been driven to this shore, and
has done trifling damage among the lumber
piles. A pile of scantlings on the wharf of A.
Bruner has been overturned, some shingles
have been scattered, and a skiff crushed.—
The river is full but not dangerously high.
Ari.xxvic this magazine is
more especially admirable in ono depart
ment than in another, that exception is its
"Review of New Books." In the March
number we have a number of books fairly
and ably criticized, among which the pre
tentious and clap-trap surely obtain their de
Dort,. This even-handed justice is dispensed
in no other literary court of our country, to
the best of our knowledge. In most pre
tended Reviews a buck is puffed as a-mat
ter—not of conscience, but of courtesy to
the publisher. In the "Atlantic" it will
obtain praise if praise be merited; but no
mistaken sympathy precludes a fair scorch
ing to the author who deserves it. Besides
the criticising, this March number, which
we hare just received, has much other first
rate matter, not the leinst entertaining, being
the "Professor's Story,"
ALL TUE YEAR ROUND.—Another monthly
number—for February—of this papolar re
print has been received. Mr. Dickens, in

give it a general and remunerative circuln•
tion in this country. In England, where it
originally appears, it takes foremost rank
among the popular periodicals. It is re
published by J. M. Emerson t Co., New
York, at $3 a year.
HARPER'S illsciszma.-- - -flarper for March
has been received. It is n magazine which is
marked by excellences, both literary and
piotorial, in every number; but unless we
chronicle the contents simply or extend cur
remarks to the discussion of the separate arti
eke, we risk repetition in general commen
dation. It has become standard stock to
name Harper as "populnr," "varied," "bril
liant," "solid," and its illustrations as "ar
tistic" and "spirited." We could say of the
March number ail that is required to make
op a fair country puff; but the magazine
does not need it; it stands upon its own
merits, and meets with its reward.
AIIIMICAN AGIUCIILITRUIT.—The March
number of the Agriculturist has been re
ceived. It is crowded with good original
articles, in its peculiar vein and on its spe
cial subjects. We recommend to every
farmer the American Agriculturist as a
publication from which he cannot but de
rive information and profit.

CADE TO SEE AND WAS OVERCONE.-00
the Evening of Tuesday, 21st inst., Esquire
Welsh was advised of the presence cf a corpse
on the sidewalk a short distance above the
Blue Front. Deputy Coroner Ilollingsworth
was dispatched with okay to inquire into
the cause of this melancholy departure. A
verdict (together with the remains) was
speedily returned: "Died of a visitation."—
The nuture of the "visitation" was suffi
ciently evident from the unmistakable odor
of strychnine (whiskey) which entered the
door of the Blue Front with the body. The
Justice ordered the corpse to be exposed in
the borough "Morgue" for the night, and,
in dearth of recognition and removal by
friends, next morning proper steps should
be taken for County sepulture:
Next day the remains, in a measure quick
ened, were hurried to the Blue Front. The
stern countenance of the Justioe.completed
the resurrection, and the pseudo dead man
looked all alive; in fearful aaticipotion• of
disastrous consequences. In answer' to the
indignant questioning of the magistrate the
awakened prisoner announced• himself as
Peter Kreider, an enlightened German from
Chestnut Bill Ore Banks. Ile had been
given to understand that General Washing
ton was to be in Columbia on the twenty
second. had never seen the General, but
had quite a desire •to meet him. Invested
himself with his Sunday gear and came to
town on the twenty-first, to make sure of '
accommodations. hind read of the "Conti
nental" of Philadelphia and the "Sullivan"
of Columbia—determined to do the clean
thing and stop at the "Sullivan." Hired a
small "'dander" to carry his baggage and
guide him to the great caravansari. Found
the house too crowded to accommodate him.
Treated small Irishman to a "three center."
Small Irishman treated to a gone center."
Landlord treated. One of the hoarders
treated. Whisky good. Took a drink on
his own hock. Small Irishman embraced
thoopportunity and departed with stranger's
baggage. Kreider pursued. Chased dep
redator up an almost perpendicular hill
about ten miles in height. Was much im
peded in his locomotion by a tun of iron
ore in each of his cunt-tail pockets and an
eight mule team in his hat. Was about
overhauling small Irishman near the sum
mit when the team became unruly and be
gan to kick and back. Lost his balance and
cotmeenced a terriffic descent. Fell for the
space of twelve hours at a frightful velocity.
Concluded that ho was called, and com
menced a recital of the burial service in
German. Lost consciousness before he
reached the bottom, and only awoke about
four o'clock in the morning in profound
darkness, with a saw mill in his head and
Desert of Sahara in his throat. This was
all he knew, "of his own knowledge."
In consideration of the loss the stranger
had sustained, and on ivit% promise to leave
town without further effort to see the Ge
neral or the Elephant, the Justice dismiss
-1 ed him from custody.

wise. Up to the time be commenced taking
your Pills, be had them very often and quite
severe, prostrating him body and mind. His
mind had suffered seriously: but now, I am
happy to say, he is cured,of those fits. He has
enjoyed fine health for 1.14 last five months
past. His mind has also returned to its origi
nal sprightliness. All this I take a great pleas
ure in communicating, as it may be the means
of directing others to the remedy that will
cure them. Yours respectfully, &c.
