SPIT CURLS AND LONG SERMONS."-
The Lebanon Courier says, that a lady in
that place spent an hour and a quarter in
giving the right set to her "spit curl," last
Sunday morning, came home from church
complainibg that
pastor
was " horribly
long," that the pastor " actually preached
forty-five minutes." There are a good
many who think more of their curls than
they do of their souls:
The girls in Lebanon are away behind
the age. Columbia girls do not ,wear spit
curls; but they do like to - see the smoke
that gracefully curls from those fine flavor
ed Havana Sugars, which are only kept at
the store of Mr.. John Fendrich, corner of
Front and Locust street., Columbia.

COURT PROCEEDINGS.—We here give
the correct proceedings . which took place in
Court of Common Pleas, in the case of Sup
plee t Bro. vs. Shireman, lloffheins k CO.
In January, 1566, plaintiffs made, sold and
delivered a steam engine and boiler for $3600
for the defendants, who are manufactur
ers of agricultural implements, in York,
Pa. A couple of weeks after the engine and
boiler was set up, the crown-sheet of the
boiler came down. The defendants had paid
$l5OO on account, and claimed damages, on
the ground that the boiler was defectively
constructed. Plaintiffs denied the defective
construction, and alleged that the crown
sheet came down by reason of carelessness
on the part of defendants' engineer, and
that the water was allowed to get low, and
'that thereby the crown-sheet was burnt.
On the second day of the triaL the case was
compromised, by a verdict for plaintiffs for
$2lOO and coots.
Other reports of this trial make Supplee
t Brother lose the $l5OO which was paid
them on account.
CHESTER. COUNTY ITEMS.--Jones Si,
Wilson Lave sold their warehouse, coal and
lumber yin*, at Parkesburg; to liiukson 4.t
Thompson, of Coehrartrille, who will con
tinue the business. Price, $O.OOO.
A. cow belonging to Mr. Hezekiali Arnold,
of East IsTantmeaf, had a very strange look
ing calf a few days ago. Its fore and hind
feet were all together, and its back forming
a peak, while its intestines were banging
to it loose, without anything to protect ,or
cover them. Of course the calf did not live
long. .1/
Samuel Morris, of Londongrove, raised a
steer which was sold last week, 5 years old,
at 16 cents per pound, live weight. The
live weight was 3000 pounds. It was pur
chased for Boroeti, of Philadelphia. John
R. Way, of the same township, sold a pair
of home-raised steers, 6 years old, to Abin.
Paul, for $555, Joseph Walters, of Kennett,
has sold a pair of oxen to Mr. Paul, sup
posed to weigh .about 5200 pounds, at 12
cents per pound.
SELOOTING ACCIDENT.—We learn that
a sou, (aged seventeen years) of Daniel
Engle, nurseryman, near Marietta, ac
cidently shot himself in the leg with a
pistol, on Monday - last, - whilst in
school at Maytown. It appears that, itngle
was exhibiting the pistol to a school-mate,
who wished to buy it, and whilst holding
it in an oblique position under the desk, he
rp.ised, the hammer, and,ln , attempting to
lower it his lingers slipped and the contents
,of the pistol were discharged, the bull tuk
ing,elfect in the lad's leg, below the knee,
and glancing clOwnward lodged in the
fleshy part of his leg. It is needless to say
that the report of the pistol caused consid
-erable consternation among the pupils of
the school. 'By desire of Dr. Withers,
of Mount Joy, who was called to attend the
case, Dr. Hinkle, of this place, dressed the
wound, and now, under the care of
Dr. W. the patient is doing finely.
HONEY-MOON CONVERSATION.--The
following report of a conversation between
a newly married couple took- place at a
wetering place, last summer. We believe
the parties were from Wrightsville. There
is a depth of atrectiou in it, which is refresh
ing to contemplate. -
" William—dear William," said the wife,
with a world of sanction in her oyes. -
" Speak, heavenly charmer," replied the
new husband, returning, With interest, the
expressive glances of his spouse.
" Dear William !"
"Adored Eliza."
"Sweet flatterer!"
" Angelic creature."
" Deur, dear William, pardon me—but do
yon think a short walk would hurt us, as
the divine Willis :says?" .
"I fear, loveliest of thy sex, that you may
be fatigued."
"Fear not, dearest." -
" Heavenly emanation—bright dream of
-my precarious existence--but t cannot
help fearing." •
"Ssiieet ?"
" Celestial Eliza !"
'Here thdy fell.to violent kissing, which
lasted about fifteen minutes. •
Almost breathlessly, the lady exclaimed:
" William, dear Willlatn, why aro you so
sweet? Oh, the joy; the'oesttieY of wedded
bliss ! Bess:belowed,' will you ever lore me

TIIE WEATFIER.—It is said that"varie
is the spice of life," and if that be true, - we
may venture the assertion that we have
had' some spicy, weather for the last few
weeks. It has rained, sleeted, snowed,
frosted, froze and thawed alternately, and
has made every change that the almanac
speaks of but settle. We hope, however, it
will do thatnext, and our delinquent sub
scribers will follow suit.
ST. VALENTINE'S DAY.—According to
our AlManacs, next'Friday, the 14th inst„
will be St. Valentine's Day. In the usual
Course of Natuie, , ,lt' bath again coursed
around us, bringing along to many delight
ful remembrances of the past, to others
what is to come. ,
Lexicographers in terpretedValentine, - "A
sweetheart, chosen on Valentine's day; a
letter sent on Valentine's day," mac. No
doubt numerous love tokens will be ex
changed with one another, on Friday next,
and letters sent—to whom? To the one we
love, of course. Oh ! who does not, love the
sweet sound; Love? .But with man love is
never a passion of such intensity and sin
cerely as with woman. She is a creature of
sensibility, existing only in the outpourings
and 'sympathies of her emotions. Every
earthly blessing, nay, every heavenly hope,
will be sacrificed for her affections. Thus
it is, has been, and ever will be.
The maidens of Rome, in ancient times,
put great faith in certain old charms' they
used to practice on St. Valentine's eve. For
curiosity sake we will here reproduce one
from an ancient manuscript, called "the
nine keys." Get nine small keys—they
must be all your own, remember—by beg
ging or purchase, (borrowing will not do,
nor must you tell what you want them
for:) plait a three-plaited band of your
own hair, and tie them together, fasten
ing the ends with nine knots; fasten them
with one of your garters to your left wrist
on going to bed, and bind the other garter
around your head ; then say—
" St. Valentine, tako it not amiss—
To try your favor I've done this;
You are the ruler of the keys,
Favor me, then, It you please.
Let me thus, your influence prove,
Aud see my dear andAvedded love."
At the present time, fair maidens and
beaux use different charms—such missives
41 . '3 can be bought at the book store of W. U.
Bess, Columbia. Some of his specimens
are truly exquisite, and very appropriate
to bestdw upon refined ladies, while others
(horrid carricatures) are disgusting.
NEWSPAPER LEECRES.—In every com
munity they are highly respectable people,
of the genus Pecksniff, who might be very
aptly termed-newspaper leeches. These
people are great newspaper readers. They
can't resist - a canvasser, they invariably
take all the papers they can get, they keep
on taking a paperjust as longas the publish
er will send it. They aro highly apprecia
tive readers, they never get mad at the
editor, they never send word to " stop My
paper"—until they are asked to pay their
subscription. Then how their feelings aro
shocked, how severely critical and virtuous
ly indignant they become. How they
despise the mercenary editor who wants
his pay. How they, roil their eyes in horror
at the base ingratitude whieh cannot ap
preciate their unfailing support. How they
resolve to discard forever the vile sheet for
which they are expected to pay like other
people. Oh, these Peek:sniffs are indeed
newspaper patrons. They take the paper
every time; but when it- comes to paying
for it—they can't take it upon such terms.
And as for indebtedness accrued—why, that
you - see, is, of course, why certainly; they
never, oh, no, how could. you suppose, or
do you, no sieee—you can't, not by a good
deal.
And off goes Pecksniff in a huff—and
sends his valuable name to some other
trusting journal, which has not before been
honored with his lecherous subscription.
There are more newspaper leeches than
whisky leeches, and very strictly moral,
and, ex amplary, and important people, they
are, too. Most of them are wealthy. They
dart .their siphon-tongue upo9 a newspaper,
and suck; and suck, until whole reams of
paper and gallons of ink have been dralyU
in their insatiable maw. Finally, along
comes a bill. Oh, dear, what squirming.
The leech is disgusted. He won't stand
such treatment. lie lets go. He never
took it. He never got it. He never sub
scribed on purpose. He ordered it stopped
long ago—when the bill was first sent to
him. His neighbor has read it morn he
has. He takes lots of other papers. He
can't afford it. His eyesight is bad. It
hasn't come regular. He thought it was
only a dollar a year. Ho don't like it.. His
wife would rather have , the Ledger. He
supposed some admiring friend sent it to
him. He thinks papers cost too much.
He only took it to help it along. He don't
see why so much fuss ought to be made
over a mean newspaper account anyhow.
And so the leech slinks about, swindling
the printer, exposing his own ind6scribable
meanness, and getting his newspaper for
nothing.—Rx.
COAL POCKETS.—This is the name,
says the State Guard, of the peculiar struc
ture in course of completion at the ter
minus of the Reading and Columbia Rail
road at this place.
These pockets are supported by two
strong sand-stone pillars, or piers, fourteen
feet in height and extend into a basin
formed for the purpose and into which canal
boats can be run from the river. They are
twenty-four in number, each ono contain
ing a triangular space of sixteen by twenty
feet, and having a capacity of ninety tons.
They are intended to, be used for unloading
and loading of coal, and will hold in the ag
gregate, two thousand one hundred and
sixty tons. The daily deposit of clean coal
in thesb pockets, after making a liberal de
duction for scri-enage, will be equal to six
teen hundred and sixty tons. They are the
work of the . Reading ct: Columbia railroad
company, and will be completed . att im
mense amount of labor and outlay.
The piers which support the pockets are
forty feet apart and are approached by an
extension track from the end of the main
one and from which the cars laden with
coal will be run. The coal cars will be so
constructed that the bottoms can be opened
without difficulty, and their contents emp
tied into the pockets below.
The coal will be transported to the city
of Baltiniore by way of the Tide Water
canal, and the boats which will bear their
ebony treasure, will be loaded as follows :
They will be. in the basin, immediately
below the pockets, and the latter will, be
run into the boats by means of a drawn gate
with which each one of them is furnished,
The loaded boats will then proceed on their
way aeross the river and into the canal and
front thence by way of the Chesapeake Bay
to the city.
The intelligent reader will at once observe
that these pockets, us they are styled, must
in the course of a long time, exert a tremen
dous influence upon the coal trade between
the; rich mine hills of Pennsylvania and the
%Monumental City. The difference in the
price of transportation from the present, we
are told, will be one dollar per ton; which
will make coal in Bitltimore so much cheap
er, increase the'deinand for it in that city;
-while by making the Tide Water Canal a
direct line of communication, it will vastly
.benefit that company and enable it to be
come what it has long desired to be, a self
-Sappoffing; paying institution. More espo
cially will the people of the lower end be
benefited Tor they Can"pnichase their coal
along , the line.of the canal at a dollar a ton
less than they now pay.for it.
The .Rending. and: Columbia Railroad,
already doing a large and extensive busi
ness, is destined atito 'distant day to be

country.- Its present connection with' other

YORK COUNTY ITEMS:—A number of

erection of an anthracitefurnace in York.
The Conference of the United Brethren
which commenced on the 23d ult., in York

Monday evening following. The exercises
were of a very interesting and, impressive
character.
Last week a dog belonging to Mr. Charles
Latin, of York, grew so savage as to render
it necessary to kill the animal. He hit sev
eral persons, among whom was Mr. Lafin
himself, his partner Mr. Griman, two chil
dren belonging to his neighbor Mr. Fra
zier, and Mr. Edwin Weiser, a medical
student at Dr. Jas. W. Kerr's.
Some of the York county farmers are
complaining that the growing grain in the
fields has been somewhat injured by the
late rains and colds. We have not heard of
any complaints by the farmers of this
county, and hope that the injuzy to the
grain of our neighbors 1%111 not prove
serious.

A Minister Taken Prisoner!
Mn. EDITOR.—Unve you 'ever had a
" nice surprise" in the shape of a splendid
" outfit," made up by the combined skill of
the weaver, the merchant, the tailor, the
hatter, the bootmaker, and whatever else
enters into the elaborations, the niceties and
comforts of a perfect toilet If you have
not, sir, I really hope it may not be long
until you may know what a nice thing it is
to .be " surprised" in that. way. We have
been permitted to "try it on" and know all
about it. Let me tell you how it happened.
The other day a carriage drove up to our
door, and on our "answering the bell" a
gentlemanly looking man took me by the
arm and claimed me as his " prisoner."
Well, what could I do? but surrender to
one " stronger" than myself. So, with some
considerable flutter about the heart, I mi
-1 deavored to r esign myself to whatever
might come, and took a seat in the waiting
conveyance, and was hurried down town to
Bletz's,
then to Ili teshue's, then to Fraley's,
then to Brook's, and from thence safe home
again. Well now, what do you suppose
grew out of this mysterious carriage ride.?
Can't Well, listen ! A day or two
ago a large box was slipped in at myfront
door—having read no little about the dan
gers of mysterious boxes—l opened very
cautiously, when lo! a splendid "hat"
popped in sight ; this gave me courage, and
I reached in again, and out comes a magni
ficent pair of "boots," then a "coat, over
coat, cloak, vest, pants, stockings, suspenders,
gloves, neck-tie, drawers, shirt—everything
you can think of in the way of a "perfect
outfit."
Now sir, just indulge your imagination
a little, and fancy how matters went off in
the "Parsonage" for the next day or two.
The children (God bless them) thought
"Papa" looked like a gentleman—they are
not the only ones that think that broad
cloth, beaver and calfskin make a gentle
man,—and the clear wile innocently remark
ed, that " I looked better than when I got
married." She didn't think so then, but
we've been married a long time, you know.
Of course, fans pleased, delighted, and I,
too, think I look better than I did with the
"old suit," but who made the preacher so
rich I know a little, but not alt about it ;
I only know that a number of dear, kind
friends, (" OUTSIDERS," I believe they call
themselves) have laid me under many obli
gations for this splendid and costly expres
sion of their goodwill. Whoever they are,
they have my hearty thanks. Having
clothed the minister, may they, themselves,
be clothed with the "righteousness of Christ."

prospect that the whole •

was never better. The means so far provided for
construction have proved ample, and there is no
lack of funds for the most vigorous-prosecution
of the enterprise. These means arc divided into
four classes:
I.—UNITED STATES BONDS,
Having thirty years to run, and bearing six per
cent. currency Interest, at the rate of .310,000 per
mile for 517 miles on tile Plains; then at the rate
of $48,000 per mile forlso miles through the Rocky
Mountains; then at the rate of $it.2,000 per mile
for the remaining distance, for which the United
States takes a second lien as security. The inter
est on these Bonds is paid by the United States
Government, which also pays the Company one
half the amount - 75f Its bills in money for trans
porting its freight, troops, mails, &e. Tile re
maining half of these bills is placed to the Com
pany's credit, and forms a sinking fund which
may finally discharge the whole amount of this
lelRsP .MORTGAGE BONDS.
By Its charter the Company is permitted to
issue its own First Mortgage Bonds to the same
amount a-s the bonds issued by the government,
and 110 moee, and 071 u ns flit road proffre , ses. The
Trustees for the Bondholders. are the Hon. B.

Iron. Oakes Ames. Member of the U.S. House of
Representatives. who are responsible for the de
livery of these Bonds to the Company, in ac
cord:mee with the terms of the law.

EARNINGS OP THE COMPANT.
At present, the profits of the Company are de
rived. only front its loud traffic, but this is alrea
dy much more than sufficient to pay the interest
on all the Bonds the Company dm issue, if not
another mile were built. it is not doubled that
when the road is completed the through traffic
of the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pa
cific States will be large beyond precedent, and,
as there will be no competition, it can always be
done at profitable rates,
/t will be noticed that the Union Pacific Rail
road is in fact, a Gorernme,it Work. built under the
supervision of Government officers, and to a
large extent with. Government money, and that
its Bonds are issued under Government direc
tion. It is believed that no shnilar security Is so
direfully guarded, and certainly no other is based
upon a larger or more valuable property. As

y in the market, being more than io per cent.

and have thirty years to run before maturity.
