IT they see a face once, under circumstances calculated to impress it on their recollection, it remain 3 there forever. The memories of others are looking glwes, fro-n which the image pa 82C9 as the substance is remo+cd. - One of the rsost extraordinary specimens of the former class of memories we dome ever heard of is said to be possessed by a gentle man of New Orleans. It is, indeed, if our authority is to be believed, "wax to receive and marble to retain." Our informant says that some mouths ago, this New Orleans phenomenon—who, by the way, is an ofil ,er of the United States army--accosted an individual on the levee, with: "now do you do, my thur fellon2 Olail to see you leozing., so well.

Will you be so good as to explain?" "Ah!" responded the phenomenon, don't remember, I suppose. Quite natural. We had only n passing glimpQe of each other."

So was I. You were blown up sky high. So was I. Not that I saw you before the explosion. My first and only interview with you, sir, was in the air. You were going up as I was coining down. The glimpse I had of you was necessarily short. Your features were distorted by fright, our paces were killing, and I was wrong side up. Consequently, my observa tions were unfavorable. But I never forget faces under any circum4tances, however dis composing. I photographed you. sir, and I have had you in my mind's eye ever since. The moment I saw you I recognized you as the original of my mental daguerreotype. Glad to see yell looking in better trim than when I saw you last. But we all have our ups and downs in this world.

A Coaent rIoN.—Wc are informed by Mr, Franciseas, Superintendent of the Philadel phia Division of the Penna. Railroad, that all trains passing through Columbia stop, excepting the Fast Line East. This passes through at 7.2'2 A. M., the Lancaster Train leaves here at 8.15 A. M.. and tickets for the hitter are sidd at a lower rate than fur any other train on the road. To prevent difficulty between the ladders of such tickets and C inductors on the Fast Line, on which train they would not be good, this train does not stop for passengers. We stated last week that three trains pas s ed through Columbia without at , Aping, and received our information front Mr. Bake, Ticket Agent at this place, who re ferred to the published Schedule as his authority. We ate glad to cut down our grievance two thirds, and suppose, as the reason for the non-halting of the one train is a Talia one, we must even he content to let it slide without farther grumbling,. As the night train stops, however, we must touch up the mail department. Oar mail arrangements are tile most inconvenient possible. From some tuppenny notion of economy on the part of the Post Oflice De partment at Washinv-ton our night mail has been discontinued, and we get no mail from Philadelphia earlier than 11.::0 A. M., whereas under the old arrangements our city mail arrived it '2 A. M., and was dis tributed early in the morning. The mail Westward from hers is even worse. The mail train west of the Pennsylvania Hail ' road which passes through at 11 27 A. M., is not allowed to carry our mail, which i. detained until C.lO P. M. for the Harrisburg Accommodation. by which it is carried only as far as Ilarri-Burg. where it lies over un til next morning. For these inconveniences the Penna. Railroad is nut rasp and we are not seeking to saddle them up m the wrong shoulders. The fault is with the Post Office Dci-Artment or its Mail Agents, and must be remedied.

The original work is a folio of nearly eight hundred pages, rather rare and inaccessible in this country. and its form as I well as its limited circulation make it a! scaled book to the general public. The contents are of the greatest interest not only I to the members of the Society of Friends, hut to the general reader, comprising as they do the conversations and discussions of a ripe scholar and a 6old man of the time of William Penn with many distinguished cotetnporaries, on subjects connected with the belief of the author. Thomas Story was lan intimate friend of the founder and first ! proprietor of this now groat Commonwealth, lan eminent ministor of the gospel, and while in this country was a prominent member of the government of the Province of Pennsyl vania. The" Conversations and Discussions" held in America arc particularly interesting. Mr. Richardson has done a good work in thus bringing within the reach of every one, in convenient and cheap form, a portion of this valuable work. It is is published in a neat duodecimo volume, by T. Elwood Zell, Philadelphia; price in cloth, one dollar.— We heartily recommend the volume to the reading public. Amtocaartc lhErtsm.—On last Saturday evening a mectingwas held by the,Democ racy of this borough, irrespective of : . sting, which wag attended by delegations from Wrightsville, Atarietta, Washington and the neighborhood generally. The Foster Club was out in line with band and torches, and received the various delegations as they entered town. The ,Mariettadelegation was large and each man carried a torch. The Wrightsville delegation was headed by the Wrightsville band, the Mariettians marched to martial music. A procession was formed marshalled by Thos. Welsh, Esq., and marched through the streets of the borough. The line was a long ono and the large num ber of torches made it a very attractive dis play. The procession halted in front of th Franklin Muse where the addresses were delivered from the balcony. Hon. I. E. Mester had been announced as the orator, but was not present, and home talent ably supplied his place. Mr. Blitz (Bell-Everett) first addressed the audience, and was fol lowed by 11. M. North, Esq.. ( Breckinridge); the closing address was made by Lewis Martin, Esq , of Marietta, (Douglas.] after which the meeting adjourned. We only heard a portion of the latter speech. which was rather in advocacy of the "Little Giant" than of Foster. The previous addresses were more strictly non-committal on the presidential question, we believe. Thus far the meeting was a very fair po litical assembly and was creditable to our Democratic friends. We are ashamed of the sequel. We thought that the day of partizan violence had gone by, and that cit izens of whatever political denomination could assemble together to express their preference, without rendering themselves liable to insult or outrage from their oppo nents. We are compelled (to our shame as a people be it told) to acknowledge that the spirit of rowdyism is rampant to such extent in Colombia, that unotfending strangers were attacked and beaten on Saturday night without provocation. The precession was insulted and the locating annoyed by cheers and jeers, but it was after the crowd had somewhat scattered that individuals; were singled out and set upon by a gang of COW ' nrdly rowdies and in some instances merci lessly beaten. Our own political opinions arc well known, and we are not inelined to change them on the disgraceful conduct of the dregs of the party; hut we er, n tell the People's P,u•ty that there are scores of votes hanging undecided which arc to be cabled. I.y fair argument and lost by just such vio lence as that of Saturday night. It is in cumbent on the leaders of the party to disc vow all connection with these lawless seoun drels aho disgrace not ;oily their political friends, but our town, and to join in bring ing them to .lustiee. In this connection we must notice a re port which has been circulated since, to the effect that a gang 'f negroes waylaid a Ger man named Ileintzelman, and beat him be cause of his avowed Democraey. lleintzel man was severely beaten on Satunlay night by two of the wqrst negroes on the Hill, but we have the authority of Esquire Welsh, a good Democrat, who took the tvounded man's deposition on Sunday, for stating that in that deposition no word was said about tie assault being committed for political reasons. Whet Ileintzolman stated pri vately we don't know. We would here give I n frien Ily wanting to the colored inhabi tants of the Hill that if they want to live in pence they must be very careful of their conduct and in no wise meddle with the politics of their white fellow citizens. The beam:mat:l will brook no interference and tho Republicans will not quietly accept the odium of such partizanship as that of Sat urday night is charged (unjustly we believe) to be. Common cause will be made against the blacks and they may chance to fare II I: LAST ur WA ME EL—The latest intel ligence from Central America represei•ts the outlaw, General William Walker, us in the hands of the Hondurans, imprisoned at Truxilia, and wider sentence of loath. lie and his army ; were captured hy the fore,- of a British I11:111 of war, after having lie compelled by them to evacuate Ttuxillo. and handed over to the native author:ties, with the understanding that the army was t,ho returned to this eimitry upon rinca ge ment never t) comfier Central America again, and that Walker and his second in comman-I, lin tier should be &silt with according to strict justice.

At length a man who has perpetrated more cold blooded cruelty, led to ignominious death mare of his countrymen, and more foully tarnished the honor of his country than any other disgracing the name of American, has. we have every reason to hope and believe, received fitting reward. It will be a lasting stigma on American faith that our government failed to lindicate outraged law by hanging this scoundrelly adventurer years since. Ho was really no more deserving mercy than Hicks, his fellow pirate, recently strung up for the delecta tion of the New Yorkers. The only regret attached to the tragic ending of his career, is that his punishment was meted out abroad instead of in ono of our Southern cities, where it might have served the double pur pose of a warning to filibusters and dis -1110.11;81.V. P. S.—Later intelligence informs us that the commander of the British vessel has most unjustly interfered in Walker's behalf, and he was probably not shot after all. Let us hope that it is reserved for our Govern ment to redeem its lost character by officia ting in the Fillibuster's suspension. A lICIIICAN AGRICULTURIST.—We have re ceived the October number of this very val uable agricultural monthly. We are glad to know that this publication is winning its way into the house of every farmer in the land.

Lame LEta DISCOWER/E9 IS FRANKLIN CO.—We are informed that within the last row weeks, large discoveries' of lead hare been made upon the, lands of Messrs. George D. Appleton and-S. R. Clarke, of. this city. These lands were entered a number of years since, and for the last four years have been considered good mineral lands, but the late discoveries aro said to surpass the matt sanguine expectations of the owners. dents of thu county pronounce them equal, if not superior, to the Granby mines of Newton county. The lead from these and adjacent lands has heretofore been purchased for furnaces located some twenty-five miles from this region of country. We understand that the present propri etors are now making arrangements for the erection' of furnaces in that immediate neighborhood. As these lands are situated within three miles of Wenglus. on the south west branch of the Pacific Railroad, and only some sixty miles front St. Louis, we may soon be looking for large supplies of lead from that region. 'Mk is only one of the great resultsof the extrusion of our Western Railroads. We congratulate the proprietors upon this result of their enterprise. This lead ore we understand is particu• lariy rich, smelting, from 75 to 7S per cent and assaying nearly 00 per cent. The lan mentioned above are 800 acres owned by Messrs. Arpleton and Clarke. We con• gratulate the Doctor on his interest in this valuable tract in so rapidly improving a country as Missouri. The PRISCC ix TILE Tozi.s or JENKrss. —Jenkins has the Prince—or Baron Ren frew, now that ho has set foot on this soil of freedom—and is enjoying with him a trinm phal progress through the great West. The young nun landed in Detroit one day last week, was enormously stared at and cheered and beslavered and anneyed by the free and independent of that city. Thence he pro ceeded to Chicago where he fell into the hands of the City and was compelled to en dure the rowdy Mayor, who showed him round as Arteinus Ward does his wax "Jiggers." lie then took to the "pararas" for a little sport, and here our "latest intel ligence" left him.

The Prince's (and Jenkins') further pro gress will be to St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pitts burg, thence via the Penna.

Thus far the Prince has proved himself a lad of goal horse sense, and his guardians are evidently discriminating gentlemen. But Jenkins is a miserable and an ass, and his intrusive snobbishness should be re : warded by a sturdy appreciation of boot leather wherever he shah's his fate.

A' warrant was placed in the hands of C ,astable Read for the arrest of the offender, and that officer, after a hot pursuit through the Basin Precinct, secured him and led him capt.ve before his t roller in lrie. An immense concourse of old of fenders who had been frequently "sent down" by 'Squire Welsh, having got wind of the anir formed in procession and escorted hint to the office, with shouts of joy. danc:ng and general manifestations of rejoicing.— The prisoner, a short chunk of a fellow, with gray hair and beard and a jaunty sailor roll in his gait, (be once served in the horse Marines, we believe,) carried him self bravely to all appearance, but was nev ertheless keenly sensible of the danger of his position. He made a respectful obei sance to Justice Hunter on entering, who returned it with grave dignity. A hush of anxious expectance ensued. The justice called open complainant fur his charge. It appeared in effect that on last Saturday eve ning certain evil disposed men and boys had interfered with the "unterrified" who were holding a peaceful masa mooting in glory of Henry D. Foster, and had beaten several unoffending Irishmen. ITelsh, who was Chief Marshall of the Foster forces, and a magistrate moreover, was appealed to to disperse the rowdies. He was hurrying to the scene of conflict, corner of Front and Locust streets, when he was met by a "crowd" full of fight. The 'Squire was rudely jostled, and his comrade knocked down out of hand Now the 'Squire's worst enemy can't charge him with want of pluck; ho pulled for the man that struck so quickly, who ran up Front street pursued by the magistrate. Fortunately for the retreating enemy.; and unfortunately for the complain ant, Thomas is a fighting and not a run ning man. He failed to reach the' offender and turned to look after his comrade, when he was surrounded by the allies of the flying hero. .The 'Squire struck from the'shoulder and got in his left on the potato trap of Fryberger, seriously damaging that organ and sending a choice assortment of false incisors down the unfortunate youth's throat. Fryborger was an innocent by stander (of course he was!) and took no part in the assault on the 'Squire (of course he didn't!); he asked justice. Ile did not so much care for the blow, but the teeth stuck in his throat. Welsh's plea was self defense. He proved that he had been assaulted by the "crowd," of which he asserted P•ryberger was one. With malicious joy the crowd saw by the expression of Justice limiter's face that the prisoner was not going to get off in that way. He wan required to give bail for his appearance at next Quarter Sessions. Bail was procured and Thomas didn't go down, to the great disappointment of many who had traveled that road at 'Squire Welsh's bidding. We have a word to say to the rejoicing multitude. We marked the 'Squire's eye, and saw there the expression of "thirty days" to each and every one of the party, should they ever come before him in his official capacity. Better keep away' from the Willows, boys. PROCr.E.DINGS OF COUNCIL.--Columbin, September 21. 1860.—Council met: The roll WAS called and J. C.

WRICIT.V.—EKCLISC the liberty I take in thus addressing you, but I claim my privilege, as a woman, to write to an Editor when I please and as I please, because gen tlemen of your profession are always the humble servants of the ladies. I have the good fortune to live in a delight ful neighborhood in Columbia, and if no eceeity does not compel me, I think I will never leave it. lam very fund of hearing the news. I mean news, not gossip. Gossip I despise most heartily, and have the mcst sovereign contempt fur all gossips who go about the town, mix with different circles, retail all manner of low, petty scandal about their neighbors, and, in turn, glean from them all that may incautiously fall from them.— But the news as it daily occurs in town is well enough for every one to know. It is so refreshing to know what is going on; and to get the news from day to day, you know, must take time, and requires a great deal of attention. lf, however, you have a kind neighbor, as I have, who wilt take the trou ble to go round and gather up and step in not lest than three or four times a week and tell all that has been heard, you may con -4t.0• itt o,f, 1000100 it -ayes cote the trouble of going out personally. Luckily, I am blest with just such a kind goud bor and, thefore, am the happiest of women. Not a thing occurs that I du not know as soon, almost, as it happens; no matter what the weather is, wet or dry, it is all the same. Out of pure benevolence and neighborly af fection she goes the rounds, starting with a certain stock of news, which is adroitly traded off for other news, by which means she is always welcome, and is sure to return home with a fresh stock that is readily com municated to all others who happen to be on good terms with her, as I am. News you know is the life of women and if I did not get my supply as regularly as I do my ice and milk, I think I should die of ennui. To go out and obtain it myself re quires more time than I can well spare, especially when another is kind enough to ntit fur ate. I am thus enabled to stay at home, take care of my children, darn my husband's stockings and in other respects make myself useful at home, and to my husband, who much prefers my constant attention to his comforts than to be going about, as ho says people might call rue a gossip, a busy-body, a tale-bearer, mischief maker, news-boy, or some other ugly name, My neighbor is so well accomplished in the art and mystery of gathering up, that in less than a days' tramp she can gather as much as will interest a neighborhood for a week, but as the supply is kept up almost daily and of such an interesting character you cannot imagine how well we are interested. It matters not what happens in town I know it. If any man or woman is guilty of any little peccadillo, if husband and wife hare any little quarrel, if any neighbor makes a mis step, if there be any projected wedding, any courtship, any thing at all occurring—if any man happens to take a little too much, goes to the Restaurant or Billiard room, if the preacher smokes in the street, if any com municant lets slip en oath or two. all, all is treasured up and reported to me, so that I am just as wise as if I gathered it mysolf. My husband thinks that on account of our neighborhood being blest with such special advantages through this excellent neighbor that the value of property as well as .rents may rise, for he says there are but few peo ple of good character and standiag that would confer such a favor on a community by such a disinterested, neighborly and christian like course of conduct. He says he feels inclined to have a town meeting and by a public vote of thanks acknowledge our indebtedness fur such a blessing. It is true, there are some who affect to End fault with our neighbor for her kindness, but that is all sham. I think her a public benefactor and she deserves to be treated as such. I did hear a person call ,her very ugly names, and say she ought to be turned out of church, but that person bad better look at home. X. A LEARNED WrrsEss.Witnesses are of ten exceedingly stupid, but we don't know whether this witness ought to .be called stupid or not. He was before Baron Martin. It was desired to get from him an exact account of a certain conversation, with the "says 1" and "says he;" but the counsel could not make him comprehend the form in which he was wanted to make the state ment. So the court took him in hand.— "Now, my man, tell us exactly what pass ed." "Yes, my lord, certainly. I said that .1 would not have the pig." "Well, what was his answer ?" "Ile said that he had been keeping the pig for me, and that he —"—"No, no; he did not say that—he could not have said it. Ile spoke in the first person."—"No, I was the first person that spoke, my lord."—"I mean this—don't bring in the third person—repeat his exact words." "There was no third person, my lord; only him and me."—"Look here, my good fellow! he did not say he had been keeping the pig; he said, "I have been keep ing it." "I assure you, my lord, there was no mention of your lordship's name at all. We are on two different stories, my lord. There was no third person; and if anything had been said about your lordship, I must have heard it." So the court had to give it up, though the witness was only too ready to tell till he knew. fi Wilkes' (N. Y.) Spirit tells a story about the late Mr. Cribb, prize-fighter.— Some seven years after his last fight with Molyneaux, Cribb was carousing at the Castle Tavern with his friends Tom Belcher and Ned Painter, he who onco defeated Spring, and fought the tremendous battle with Shaw, the Life Guardsman. During the sitting the champion was attacked with a sort of apoplectic fit. His head fell for ward upon the table, his tongue protruded, and his eyes were set, "horribly staring through muddy impurity." lle was totally insensible. Much alarmed, Belcher and Painter removed his cravat and collar, dash ed cold water in his face, and, as a last re source, shouted "Tine, time!" with all the strength of their powerful lungs. That was a word to revive Tom Cribb almost from the tomb ! Ile rose as if in the rine-, and said indistinctly: "I am ready !" then looked round confusedly. and lapsed into insensi bility again. He was, however, permanent ly recovered by further cold water applica tions. leZrOf all the affairs, says Quilp, in which the fair take part, nothing can be more un fair than a "Fair." The name is the most flagrant of the nuisances. To buy fancy slippers that don't fit, and would'nt wear week if they did; to eat cakes that poison you; to drink lemonade ttat disgusts you; to purchase things that you don't want, at a price which you don't like; to be flattered by pert girls and bullied by ugly dames; to get no change fur your bank note, and no value for your change: to patronize a lottery against your principles, and be swindled against your reason—that is the "Eatr" thing, is it? HOW LITTLE PILLS ARE Ma/E.--A New York correspondent gives an interesting ac count of a recent visit to Prof. Humphreys' Homeopathic Establishment, in Broadway. He says: —1 found the Professor in his studs and consultation room, busy attend ing calls of his patients and answering his extensive correspondence. Upon his table were letters from patients in almost every State in the Union, who write. him a des cription of their cases, and receive their medicines by mail. I judge from the amount of correspondence that this is be coming a very favorite mode of treatment for old, long-standing diseases. In his lab oratory all the fluids for medicating his various remedies are prepared by himsel f which, together with his patients and other items necessarily belonging to his extensive business, mist require no small amount of energy end capacity. "The little pills themselves, now so gen erally known, arc made of proper propor tions of sugar and starch and only become medicated after the liquid medicines are poured upon them and they become thor oughly saturated with it. To commence making the pills, the finest sugar is sifted into a large deep pan, which is kept at an uniform moderate temperature, and the mass is worked under the hand while the new material in fluid form is constantly added to it, until by degrees the single pellets, by attrition, attain the size necessary for use, when they arc sifted into appropriate grades and thoroughly dried preparatory to being medicated. This is done by placing them in large bottles, and the liquid medicine is poured over them until they arc fully satu rated, when they are dried and placed in the hands of careful assistants, placed in boxes and cases, properly labeled and wrap ped for the market. Some idea may be formed of the popularity of his Specific Remedies when we learn that at his estab lishment there are prepared for the market, each week, from fifty to ono hundred gross of boxes, and about half that number o f vials, making an aggregate of not less than one million doses of medicine per week.— Immense as this supply is, the demand is constantly increasing." /1/41,-No one, by merely conversing with a fish, ever succeeded in drawing him out.— That's so. You must drop a line to him. NEAPOLITAN COURAGE.—TIio Neapolitons deserted even the gallant Murat, at the first volley, when he led them against the Austrians at Tolentino, and they shouted victory or death till they - heard the whistling of the balls. They can da nothing but run away, murder front behind a hedge, and burn or plunder towns they are unable to hold. And yet, to look in the ranks, they are amongst the finest, the best dressed, and most accurately drilled troops in the world. Gen. Church, an English officer, who obtain ed credit by raising and equipping for onr service two battalions of Albanians, some thing on the old Greek model of costume, and who, after Ferdinand the Fourth's return to Naples; became his Adjutant• Ge neral, urged him perpetually to come and look at his guards, new disclipined and bedizened with lace and frippery, as if they had been carefully unpacked from band boxes. The king at length complied, mut tering that it was an ineffable seccatura, felt asleep in his carriage while they were march ing past, and being jogged up at the close, complimented his indefatigable lieutenant (who had ridden up to him for the purpose), saying: "General Church, I am infinitely obliged to you; you have done wonders.— They look and move like demigods; but you'll never make them fight.
