Dnn We extract the-following well-timed ar ticle from' the "_Norristoton - llegister. The terrible accidents caused by dangerous and impure kerosetie;is becomingmore frequent every" day,: and, without* doubt," there is moreOrless of 'this inflammable and im— pure oil sold in 'Columbia: Let every one read the following article, then- ask them selves the 'question, -whether or- not, they are "using a- mixed-up article of oil and ben zine,,to the - great danger of their property, and risking the lives of their family : "Some time nines you published a section - of-an-Act of Congress, imposing a heavy pesilty, in fine and imprisonment,, for manufacturing or selling what is known as Kerosene or Coal 011,.-of a fire test below 110.degrees.,„: That law, on account of not designating any special officer, whose duty it should be to see it enforced, seems for a long time to have'remained' a 'dead letter; on the principle that, what. is - everybody's business is nobody's business,- and mean while you have been called on to chronicle heart rending' cases 'of destruction of life, and'malming of pereons,. front the- Crimin ial reckleeniess which that_law was intend -ltd. to -guardttgainst.. A - noteable case oc curred very:recently in the West, at a 'wed ding party, - where a lamp-exploded and burned one young lady-- to death, another very dangerously, -and .by- almost - super-, human effort,, the destruction or the dwell ing was. alone prevented. ' If I recollect aright, it was at Detroit, Michigan, - some time ago, that a tire took place in a railroad depot, from oil of-that class - leaking from a -barrel, ignited front a lamp or lantern be ing carried by, and the depot and shipping house close by were burned, and quite a number of lives lost. -It seems that at last. this evil is,about to be remedied, by an en-. forcement of the la*. The Grand Jury of the United States Court, - on inforMation furnished by the prosecuting officer of the Government, probably, has taken_ the mat ter' in hand, and presented about two hund reddealers, as will be seen by' the follow ing paragraph taken trent - the news items iii the Philadelphia Ledger • 2 - • "• - "In the 'United States District Court„ at - De troit, . the Grand Jury has found indictments against -over_ two hundred parties, nearly the - whole of whore were charged wills violations of the United States law, in selling Kerosene above proof, and therefore-liable to explosion." The Governmentliaving. thus. taken the matter in hand, we may expect that it • will_ not be confined to Detroit, hut .extended over the - whole country, and - a caution - to the dealers in-thiS county will not-be `out of place. The quantity of inflammable and,. „dangeronsoll,sold in, your, town. alone is surprising. llostof 'it will - emit a - pia' and take fire at an ordinary -summer 'tempera ture. A great-part'of- the oil'sold for horde consumption is of that class. -Some sold in your town, and recommended as good oil, on test was not over 85" degrees. Much sold. is said not to be above' 65 'degrees. '• Tim writer learned from:a:United "States Rev enue Detective, that -in ..,..his,.tixperience nine-tenths of, the oil sold Was"lielow "the Government standard.- Ho had' , , an expla nation ,of this quite recently, from an.-em ployee of a wholesale oil house in-Philadel phia, who stated that it was the custom to purchase about one-fourth the quantity of benzine that they purchased 'oil,' and mix them. - -` Thus was made-five barrels of oil to _ . sellforevery four barrels bought, and this enabled them to sell cheaper. ,',The trader made no difference in the 'price, "oil was oil," and in that waf-a.;profit was made.. Benzine not being subject-to tax-when sold separate, the law is evaded by mixing by the dealers and the revenue defrauded. -It may - be thoughtlhice it Would be a ' hardship' to punish ' the:l:retailer - who does not do the mixing. 'fßut it is Ids duty to make hiniself acquainted with the charac ter of thaarticlabasells: 2 When ho buys _at a less - price than! a. good article can be made for he may. be morally certain, either that. he has •an,inferior article or" that the :revenue laws have bean defrauded.: There ' .are oils inthernarket which - may:generally lakrelied.orri tiaentirely.safe., aralteld eta price at which a good oil can be made, and this itself is a guarantee of their quality. They could not command a greater price than the common article, unless they were uniformly good. - The 'odor is -also com paratively pleasant, while most of the com monoil is .exceedingly offensive. For the latter reason alone many dealers will sell none other. The community ban check the" sale of dangerous oils; by seeking out and trading only withShose who keep good and safe oils:. They will find it actually cheap-. er too, as it will burn.much longer in. pro portion, besides giving a 'finer light than the common benzine trash." '- • iinportant Pension Decision.

Of course Greeley never visited him, after so marked a breach of courtesy ; nor has ho called upon Dickens since his arrival in America.

Days, weeks, months, years and centuries- Are 'passing rapidly away in the lightning train -on the railroad of time, on to eternity. , An other Christmas day, the precursor of 'the New YnAn, will soon be numbered among the things of the past. As we grow older, seemingly, time glides ineraswittly along. The merry ring of youthful revelry and joyous mirth, and-the ineffable delight and' noises of- the infantile toddlers during the past Christmas, seem scarcely gone before another Christmas is upon us, and the same festivities are again renewed. Such scenes arc calculated to dispose the mind to a retro spective glance' back td well-remeMbered days of yore, when Christmas was spent with less ostentation than at the present -day ;• and when your embryo city was but a small village, lined all along its front wi th - stately buttonwood trees, their roots laved bare by the noble Susquehanna, (since made stagnant by the Tide Water .Canal,) and when a trip to Marietta -required almost as much time as a trip to Philadelphia now. Great has been the changes in Columbia within my recollection of fifty years or more. Many of the old inhabitants have long since passed to that " bourne from whence no traveler returns," and the reminiscences of the past inspires melancholy thoughts. It seems but yesterday that I was a school boy of your town, under the guidance of the sainted Quaker pedagogue, Moses P., Cheyney, the teacher in the great Brick School House, of that day, and to whom I made a promise not to indulge in the prac tice of chewing tobacco, smoking segars, drinking whisky, and swearing, to which pormisal have strictly adhered for forty years, and find that I can get along right well without those dainties, and will revere the memory ofMr. Cheyney, if, whose mild teaching could have influenced more like wise, it would probably be a benefit to mankind. RELIGIOUS REVIVALS. f. Our little con ntry (Methodist) church close to my premises, has been the scene of a great religious commotion for several months past. A protracted meeting has been held, at which some sixty or seventy persons were converted. A hundred dying souls, in a sinking ship, amidst ocean's briny waves, could not make more noise, nor display more grief .and perturbation, than which eminated from that small church, and. was wafted on the midnight air. Many persons never give their self-existence a moment's reflection ; never give the great mystery of their nature a searching thought, but live on as though their existence was nothing but a mushroom, which sprung up by chance from a certain necessity , of nature. When such persons begin to think deeply of the uncertainty of life here, and about the eternal life to come, they become over whelmed with grief and fear. The great Omnipotent and Omniscient Being, whose spirit is the breath of our nostrils, and whose attributes are wisdom, goodness and power, and before whom the idle ceremonies and useless forms and bickerings of sectarian religion will dwindle into utter insignifi cance in comparisod with the silent yearn ings of a contrite spirit and truly virtuous heart. Pharisaical religion, consisting in the pride of rites and ceremonies, when placed in the scale, will most probably be found wanting. TILE IIESTIth OF TILE LATE ELECTIONS As I anticipated, the late elections held in the States, has resulted in favor of the Dem ocrats and rebels. So many side issues Were presented against truth, virtue and in to/go-caw, and upheld by such unhallowed misrepresentations, that we need not won der at the result. The party here in the North at enmity with free institutions, is composed largely of naturalized foreigners, many of whom can neither read nor write, and have no affinity whatever with repub lican institutions, and can be swayed by popular demagogues. But their triumph is only temporary. "retail crushed to earth wilt rise again, etc." When Cochran was defeated for Auditor General by the same apathy that produced the late result, then the demoniac howlings against the brave hearted Lincoln resounded with redoubled fury—the war was a failure, peace would soon be proclaiined, and the pet institution of slavery would still exist by compromise. But the unerring hand of Providence still guided the nation in its struggle for life, and the Northern Democracy, whoseskirts are stained with the blood of thousands, was completely vanquished in their unholy efforts to perpetuate slavery, and this infant nation will' never again desecrate her soil with slave labor., The disastrous result of the late elections was caused by,the apathy of loyal voters in not attending the polls, in consequence of the attempt to thrust upon them negro •suffrage rind negro equality; not :that they have, by any: means shown their approval of the duplicity of the infa mous traitor at the head of the government, and sustained , 'by the party that has long sought to destroy our government by _ judice of the dominant race is deeply rooted against negro equality, and in requires time and patience to establish justice. flow long and perseveringly did the small body of or iginal Abolitionists, mostly, composed of stout-hearted women and:clergymen, labor in the cause 'of human right? And what persecutions did} they endure from both the North and South before the clanking chains of human servitude were burst asunder by the hand of Divine Providence? And now that the country is freed from the curse of, slavery, certain Radical lenders will jeop ardize the successful restoration of the Union, by extreme views and measures dis tasteful to a very large majority of the peo ple. Better wait and bide their time, as did ' the ancient abolitionists, whose only sin was " peace and good will to. all men." God will establish justice, and will place merit on its own proper basis, when the fitting time arrives. In our State there are at least one hundred thousand independent voters, who care not astraw for either party. Copperhead or Wollyhead ; and lam proud to reckon myself among that number, and for whichsoever party the independent vot ers will cast their votes, that party will win. General Grant is, beyond a doabt, an inde pendent voter; belonging to neither party; but sympathizes strongly with the party that sustained our Republic in the hour of its trial.- If the Union party will nominate him for President, and allow - him ,to select the plank for his own platform, to run on, everything wilt prosper; will be elected President without • any organized - opposi tion, and will restore, the ,Union and place it on a firmer foundation than ever. And the general governmentwill have no right to interfere with the qualifications of voters in any of the loyal States, and not by virtue of any enactment of Congress can negroes vote m Pennsylvania, or any other State that has maintained its integrity with the "Union. The Republican party has won for itself iinperishable renown by its devotion in upholding the Union, while the Demo cratic party will pass intoluerited or live in history only as an exeresenee of the rebellion. If the Radical leaders will abandon the idea of negro suffrage in the free States of the North, it will not give the rebel sympathizing party any ground to stand upon, and it must fall by the weight of its iniquity. As regards the rebel States, they are amply provided with laws for re construction, and which laws, if the Union party maintains the ascendency, will be continued in force. Negro suffrage suits there, because negroes and whites are kin to each other—the Southern Democracy, from the late Vice President Richard Men tor Johnson, and other magnates of the South, on down to the lowest nigger -driver. The work of miscegeneation and amalga mation has been progressing rapidly, and the mulattoes have fearfully increased wi th in the pasthalf century..

I hope for the credit of my native town that the editor is more veracious in his columns than the genomlity idf the Democratic news papers with which I am acquainted; but-I suppose he has learned how to say "boo" at niggers, and would be like more Democrat ic editors—competent to decide on the qual ifications of Fred Douglass and Tim Brooks by inspectiug' their shin bones.

Many a ono might gather a useful hint from this, as to the proper mode of dealing with the flock of Christ.

To sufferers from all . _ these causes, DODD'S NERVINE AND INVIGORATOR offers an invaluable boon—n natural and ceCient recovery of lost powers. — No person, man or woman, suffering from any cause, elm afford to neglect this remedy. Tho Nervine will be found to possess an equalizing and nutritive principle. It allays irrita tion, and like sleep promotes the secretions of the system. It has affinity for thc . nervous fibres, and supplies them for the waste that is constantly' taking place. Like wholesome food taken iota the stomach, it undergoes rapid digestion, invigorating in its pro cess the digestive organs, and producing a CALMNESS AZID TRANQUILITY, unknown to auy other preparation.

ADDRESS TO TETE NERVOUS and Debilitated whose sufferings have been protract ed from hidden causes, and whose cases require prompt treatment to render existence desirable. If you are suffering or have suffered from involuntary _discharges, what effect does it produce upon your general health? Do you feel weak, debilitated, easily tired? Does a little extra exertion produce palpita tionof the heart? Does your liver, orurinary organs, or your kidneys frequently get out of order? Is your urine sometimes thick, milky, or flocky, or is it ropy on settling? Or does a thick scum rise to the top? Or is a sediment at the bottom after it has stood awhile? Do you have -spells of short-breathing or dyspepsia? Are your bowels constipated? Do you have spells of fainting or rushes of blood to the head? Is your memory impaired? Is your mind constantly dwelling upon this subject? Do you feel dull,listless, moping, tired of company, of life? Do you wish to. be left alone. to getaway from everybody? Does any little thing make you start or jump? Is your sleep broken or restless? Is the lustre of your eye as brilliant? The bloom on your cheek as bright? Do you 'enjoy yourself in society as well? Do you pursue your business with the same energy? Do you feel as much confidence in yourself? Are your spirits dull and flagging, given to fits of melancholy? if so, do not lay it to your liver or dyspepsia. Have you restless nights ? Your back weak, your knees weak, and have but little appetite, and you attribute this to dyspepsia or liver-complaint ? Now, leader, self-abuse,, venom? diseases badly cured, and sexual excesses, ore all capable of pro clueing a .weakness of the generative organs. The organs of generation, when in perfect health, make the man. Did you ever think that those bold, de fiant, energet c, persevering, successful business men are always those whose generative organs are in perfect health? .on never hear such men com plain of being melancholy; of nervousness, of palpita tion of the heart. They are never afraid they cannot succeed in business; they don't become sad and dis couraged; they are always polite and pleasant in the company of ladies, and look you and them right in the face—none of your downcast I6oks or any other meanness about them. I do mil mean those who . keep the.organs inflamed by running to excess. These will not only ruin their constitutions, but also those they do business with or for. ' How many men from badly. cureth,diseases, from the effects of self-abuse and excesses, have brought about that state of weakness in those organs that has reduced the general system so much as to induce almost every other, disease—idiocy, lunacy, paralysis, spinal affections,"Snieide, and almost 'every other form of disease which humanity is heir to, and the real cause of the trouble scarcely ever suspected,and . have doctored for all but the right one.
