'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.

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. lle started with the position that the ge neral design of government from the begin ning was PLUNDER. The victorious gene ral after devastating a conquered country distributes the spoils among his followers— especially among his commanders. lie plants these firmly in all directions and surrounded and sustained by them as is the ' mast of a ship by the cordage. Ile is crown ed, lle subsidizes the clergy and obtains ' their support either through interest or fear, and thus sustained the work of spoiling the people goes on bravely. Thus have robber kings been established and upheld. now different was the rearing of our govern mental structure! Our fathers came out of the Revolutionary war naked and despoiled. They had won their independence from the proudest nation of the world, yet they were humble and unspoiled by vanity. They de termined to found one government with the fspdausastal prizreiple_of robbery_3,eflt out, and did it. C Crest ~ i it men of t t da y sa.

Ile believed in the Union. Thought 1 the present administration would have a beneficial inaitence OA the country, although he could not give any praise to .the Presi dent fur any good which may result. 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 cal heart--Washington—was rotten to the cores what then must the rest of the body be? kfls , -k. taro Professor Brooks, of Millerstown, was an nounced as the next lecturer, on F'rid'ay evening. 2nd pros. His subject was not announced. 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 they dissolution of "Household Words," and the re-combination of its principal elements in this periodical, has been successful in his effort to endow his publication with new life and spirit. The succeeding numbers sus tain the reputation of the writers and estate. lists a character for the work which must 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. is..Gerrit Smith on leaving the Insane Asylum—"No pent-up Utica contracts my powers." jer - A word to the Wise—Brawn Pplite Items. eacronme 80877 - c srEctiA mot:iciiL9m." i'SW" • tip" Lovzs.-- : 3 p Movilny last Mrs. Smith iippeaeed at thepllue Front and made oath that ,'Jenny Ind," alias Lee Sund4 evening pre vm,r, distts,bed the peace an 44 economy of bar houseliplid ictan extent Vttifying Kos- JettnyOtAifiears, was ,enato Med o f - maiden, Maria handy to wit, as ia-dwetler at"the-Smith ma osiim— yirhite the Mistress of the house was absent on the above evening at church, Jenny vie. ited the prerahses on a sparking expedition llie,alfeotion.teok a demonstrative turn, as it appeared to.

The justice decided it was a case for costs, and accordingly issued a warrant for the arrest of the affectionate one. Jenny has had some little Blue Front experience himself and has enjoyed an intimate acquaintance with many who have graduated under 'Squire Welsh: he so profited by bis knowl edge of the doom awaiting hint as to subject himself to voluntary banishment. Let him carefully exile himself from these precincts; the police Caret is on the look out. 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.

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 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.

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 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. W. P. Ligon. No person who is suff;esing from. Vito or Spasms, should neglect sending to Dc. Hance, after this, for a supply of his inestimable me dicine.
