A DECIDED PREFEAENCE. —" have had several years' experience with a Grover Baker Machine, which has given me great satisfaction. Its chief merit is that it makes a strong elastic stitch ; it is very easily kept in order, and worked without much fatigue, which I think is a very great recommendation. I - am not very familiar with any other machine, ex cept a Wheeler A-, Wilson, which I have had. I think the Grover Baker M tchine is more easily mmaged, and less liable to get out of order.

Thursday night the wind Ule a perfect gale, and it is said it was the coldest awl most disagreeable night of the season. nailroaci travel arcs very much impeded by the drifting snow. On Thursday and :Friday the passenger trains arrived very irregular, sometimes six to eight hours be hind time. Persons who had occasion to go front home complained of the severity of the Nyeatlici-, and many came home with frost-bitten limbs. Three persons who came froth York County, with Cattle,—one a mere lad, when takcn from his horso, was unable to stand, being nearly frozen to death. His stiffened and almost lifeless form was carried into the house of Jos. Hogentogler, a physician senti for, and the proper restoratives applied. The next morning (Friday) he was only able to be removed to his home, in Lancaster. We did learn his name. He was, we believe, formerly of the Children's Home. DECLAIMING.—Boys, by all means learn to declaim ; it is that which Can give you the independence which you will need when you become men. What would all the knowledge in the world avail you did you not possess the power to communicate well what you know? Our country in this respect,' is improving daily. Former ly, when our public schools were not so numerous in the land, and when only the rich had opportunities Offered them of re ceiving a good education, it was quite a rarity to hear a good. orator. Now, how ever, the best facilities are extended to the poor as well as to the rich, and every one can make himself a speaker if he will only put forth energies sufficient. Good orators were prodiges thirty years ago, but since then our country has given to the world scores of them. Let every boy then en deavor to do his best in this respect, and even if he does fail the first time let him not be discouraged," but rather - strive the harder, the end can only prove successful. READING.—Gir!s. if there is any ac complishment embraced in your present school studies which: Will distinguish you in after life, it is thehabit of reading well. How few, indeed, 'do-we find among the educated ladies of our country, who read well. It is only because in their school days they thought the - matter of so little importance. It' may be said that, what speaking or declaiming is to boys, reading is to girls. How much pleasure, too, there is to be derived from rending ! It fills up the gap, and' a disagreeable one, which may be caused by the cessation of conversation, and it is then that the ability to read well gives lite to the company, and, another channel in which to launch their thoughts. To read well does not consist so much in reading loud, as in the clear enunciation of printed or written thought. We , haire often heard the most beautiful sentiments distorted out of all proportion by the', brawling voice of a so-called reader; and again we'have been present when the en: tiro audience were spell-bound, and yet the reader used a low voice, but It Was clear and 'distinct. Try, therefore, to , culti vats, not so much a loud voice, as a clear find distinct articulation.: SLIPPERY : : PAVEMENI;s.-I:tie - pave ments aro so very icy in . some Parts bt" the town, .that it •is airnost impossible .for pedestrians to: kth it ,equilibrium.

Gas, Gas, Gas. Isra. EDITOR.—" A consumer of gas," pertinently asks, "are we completely at the mercy (?) of the Columbia Gas Com pany ?" I answer, not at all. No one is compelled to consume gas. All can use it, that pay for it, or they can use whatever else they prefer. - The Company have no desire to force their gas upon any on All know the terms upon which it is furnish ed. If the price is too high, consumers will refuse it as they do other things they do not want. The relations between the Company and the consumer are those of seller and buyer, as the business of the Company is the manufacture and the sale of gas. The one is not bound to sell and the other is ran hound to bay. Thereibre " Consumer" is informed, th at the Corpor ation does not "think that they have him in a tightplace." lie has rather the ad Vail tare of the Corporation, for he is entirely independent of them, and if he is aggriev ed he can readily protect himself " by hav ing the connecting pipe dissevered awl " use oil." \V h il he says is cheaper than gas at $2.50 per 15100 feet. This he ought to do if lie is economically disposed, or true to himself, and prevent the swindle" of which he complains. The Columbia I , las Company have strug gled for many years ander adverse circum stances to furnish the citizens ol*Colum bia, with a good gas light, at a lair price Their success has been without profit, and without thanks. Their works cost up wards of $50, 1 100. Their capital is $37,500. 'l'lu•y have been in - operation more than thirteen years, an-I made during that time the following dividends, viz: , D.tet3inttoi 27th, 1851 ; 5 p , r cent.—Total, $1,468 55 :March 5th.1,55; ~I, " 7,8. January:: July.lB6l; 4 ., " 1,4 , 61. " " 1362; 4 " " 1,-186. Six per cent, interest on the capital, which, it is presnmed every consumer would allow the stockholders on their in vestment, i 552.230,00; and would amount in thirteen years to $20,250. Deducting the amount or d v 'demi,: declared, would leave a halatin:•e of $21,01.1.31; as a 104-; incurred by the Company tin• the great pleasure of furnishing a very good light, and receiving to return the vulgar abuse of many , con an mers when paying their bills, wail° the stock holders and managers have had to pay for their own gas in common with other consumers, and receive notthing for their services. it is acknowledg,eti that the price of gas is high, but no higher than nt some other places : an,' c4msunters mast recollect, Unit everything else has risen in price, and that while coal, labor, iron pipes Jind other ma terial continue as high as they now are and have been rmr years past, gas will 'be dearer than it was before the war. Ga.. ejial costs as much now, Viz :-L1571.50 per ton of 2000 lbs.—as it did last year, and the ex penses-of the Company have, been rather, increased than ditninkhed, by laying of pipes, and making other imoroventents to accommo.lateconsuiners. The misfortune attending tl.e manttincture anl supply of gas in Columbia is, that there are not con sumers enough in proportion to the ex penses of production. if the consumption was greater. gas might mne readily be furnished at a-lower nth'. The Ill Ore that Illtinutteturva, the less is the average cost:hence:in small works where the con sumption is less, the price is nocess.arilv high. In cities and other places where large quantities are consumed, gas is al ways afforded at tt cheaper rate. 13ut it is hoped, the time will come, when even " Con,niner," may be gratified by it -cer tain reduction. it is, however, somewhat singular, that while there is a hue ahil cry about the price of gas, which is certainty one' of the greate , t comforts irnota positive luxury enjoyed by a family, there is scarce ly a consumer who does not spend more money per quarter, upon the increased price of hisse ,, s ars,tohatico, liquor, billiards, oysters anti !ether luxuries, than his gas bill amounts to, and he eats, drinks, and sirt , tkes, as if those articles were all him n ished at aaii-aPtr price. without a murmur. No onlit can deny, that every article of necessity, viz: 11 mr, beef, COili :n.l every kind of manufacture d. goods has risen in price without general complaint, because everything has become aotjusted to an in crease seal(); and yet the price of gas alone excites bitter invective against the Com pany, while the butcher, baker, tavern keeper, merchant and manufacturer escape without notP.:eable remark. The city of Philadelphia is the owner of the Gas Works, within her limits. ,They are not owned by individuals, nor by a company. The aim of Councils, justly, is to furnish the eh i7.011S With gas at cost, and without a prolit to the city ; consequently* the price is low, viz : $3.15 per 1000 feet ; but the result of a single year's operations was a deficiency of $200,000, as, stated in the report Lo the Common Council, and if 'the citizens do not, rail at their gas bills, they may at.their taxes, for the deficiency must be met by them whether they are consumers or not. To a certain extent this has been the experience of dare: C011111L ; bin Gas Company, when they supplied gas at a cost of all their profits and a sac itice of money, besides attended by an accumu lation of debt. If' "Consumer" is very anxious to produce a better state of things, he is informed, that the Colombia Gas Company are not at all desirous to continue the manufacture of gas under present cir cumstances, and if he is disposed to make en investment which he may think very profitable. he can purchase the works, tte., from the Company at cast; or ifhe prefers, he may induce the Town Council to pur chase and furnish gas at a rate to suit him, and if there should belt deficiency as has been the case with the Columbia this Com pany, and the City of Philadelphia, the tax payers will no doubt readily assume its payment and thank hint too, as he and' others have thanked the Company that now supplies him with gas. That meters may be detective, and some times register ine - zrectly, is not to be de nied. The remedy for that is not vitupera tion, but to notify the Superintendent, whose duty it is, and who can and who• will test them, and use all other proper means to satisfy consumers that they are not charged for more gas than they actual ly consume. But it is to be noted that the comfort, convenience and safety of gas light is such that most consumers gradu ally and almost unconsciously increase their consumption without realizing or in tending it, until the bill is presented, when the•inereased amount startles them, and they are loth to belieVe the fault is their own. It' they will but take as much pains to turn down their gas when they are done using it, as tnev do to find fault with the Company, they will find their bills not so high. Let - them try it for a single quarter and see the result, not forgetting - , however, that it' they illuminate their houses and offices, and vie with each other in' making a grand display, as they did on at least two occasions after the Octobfir election, and during the_ last quarter, their bills may not be 415 low when pay-day - arrives as they would. wish Weirs to be.

Our young men, many of them of re sport..ble families, may be seen ev.f:ry SAoo4th day, g_iing into these beer saloons, where they, no doubt, waste precious time in drinking and probating the name of their ,linker; and while Ibis is going on one part of the town, in other parts crowds may be found loatin.; in the tub LOCO stems, smoking and chewing, and thus creating a thirst and appetite for other eiraulunts., w •ieh, eventually, lea is them to the bar and the grog shop.
