Happily we °sea; ed this lute visit from the storm king. The York Democrat in speak ing of it says : On last Tuesday night about twelve o'clock a terrible storm of wind passed over our borough, making the houses tremble in some places, and alarming the inmates sons to put down sleep as impossible. Those who were awake at the time the storm was at its height, say that it equalled, in vio lence, the tornado of last`sumtner. No houses were unroofted,we be Sieve, although some of them were shaken from their cen tre to the circumference. The days of old Mars are pretty nearly over, for this time, and we shall be glad when they are gone. He is certainly a rough, uncouth and un scrupulous character and when be rules the earth he exercises his authority with an iron will and an iron hand.

Wilma WILL WE 'GET MONEY?—The condition of the money market is such as claims the attention of every thinking heal nese man. In a recent number of the Philadelphia Ledger, we have a very inter esting prediction of what the future may or may not be: "The announcement made by the Secre tary of the Treasury that be will during the coming month of December sell gold and purchase bonds precisely as he announced to do for the present month of November, is generally accepted as the unusual the ex citement in the gold and bond markets yes terday, and the very severe decline of prices in both. This operation will throw on the market in December $11,000.000 in gold, absorbing at the same time $18,000,000 of bonds t to be followed on theist of Jan uary with the disbursement of 02,000,000 in gold in the payment of Interest, and per fume the usual further purchase of bonds. This may for the time satisfactorily account for yesterday's decline in prices to those who must have a reason for every up and down in the market; but as these fluctua tions are common, and in directly opposite directions, regardless of assumed causes, it would probably be safer, and as near the truth, to ascribe the steady decline for the last fortnight to the feet that there has been all the rime more sellers than buyers of gold ; perhaps for the reason that the Secre tary of the Treasury Las all the time freely supplied the market through the public sales, while the demand for customs has been unusually light; and, as regards the bonds, there have been more sellers and buyers, for the reason, perhaps, that some holders wanted money, and had nothing that they could so conveniently spare that would command it, and those who had money at hand, seeing the sellers' necessi ties, arm, perhaps, distrustful of the future, availed themselves oi• the opportunity to buy as low as possible. These reasons may be accepted in the absence of those more satisfactory; but we know that there are very intelligent merchants, compelled to use coin its their business, who are buying gold at present prices and holding it for use in the near future, when they belive it will be much higher, They may be right in this conclusion, and then, again, they may not. It la expeeted that the newspaper men should know all about this, and not a few 01 our readers will no doubt feel chagrined wbeu they discover that we have not been more definite and direct in our conclusions; but the truth is, humiliated as we are to confess it, we cannot tell to an ai brio/ I/ cet - minty whether gold and bonds at , going lower, or whether, from this time forward, they will both steadily advance o their former high prices. Whet/ we reach this perfection of divining the future, we shall consider that we have found that long sought treasure, the philosopher's stone, incontinent:3 , quit the press, and• fin* the rest UI our do; Ii Into the E,p,iunt ri I 5t...1 h 3 Bret ..;11,“ilig Y , llll,:vi , girl of ,•.. S 6. ehnr, is now making t upon the farmers who att,tut market, and sell produce at the market-house or curbstone. This new as sessment is made in pursuance to instruc tions from the Troasuery Department, act ing under the decision of the commissioner of internal revenue, that "if limners who go to market regularly twice a week and sell their products from the curbstone along the market at any place they can find not al ready occupied. should be regarded as pro dare brokers, I reply that they should be regarded as produce brokers, and required to pay special tax as such. Farmers are exempt from special tax when selling their produce at the place of production or in the manner of peddlers, but selling at the mar ket place, even though a different stand or station is taken every day, is not selling in the manner as a peddler. The farmer who is in the habit of going to the market place regularly twice a week and selling iu the manner above indicated, thus makes it his business so to sell, and should be required to pay special tax accordingly." AN UNGRATEVUL Sox-IN LAZY,--Last spring, says the "West Chester Record, Mr. Entriken, of Pncopson, placed his son-in law, Lewis S. John, on a farm near Mar shallton West Bradford, and furnished him everything necessary to carry on the same. Week before last, John returned from Phil adelphia, and told his father-in-law, that Daniel Gunkle, also a son-in-law of Mr. Entriken, had requested hint to bring down eight very fine cattle, that had been fed on the farm that John had charge of, that ho bad a good market for them. As Sir• Gun kle had an interest in the cattle, Mr. En triken thought It was all right, anti the cat tle were sent, John taking charge of them. :Not returning in a few days, Mr. Entriken concluded to go to the city and see about him. Calling on Sir. Gunkle he was sur prised to learn that he knew nothing about the cattle, or the where-abouts of Soho, not having seen him at all. Mr. Entriken after wards learned that John had sold the cat tle to a cattle dealer from Lancaster county, at a low price for cash, pocketed the mon ei•, and left for parts unknown. RISE.V.S Fott Sk.ATERS.—An exchange suggests the following rules for skaters Skating requires no force, the principal to be aimed at is " balancing" the body and Living it the proper inlination. The body should be kept erect, shoulders thrown back, the eyes looking Mont. the surf,ce of the ice and never at the feet, the arms held naturstly and graceful. After these rules have been mastere.l, and the skater is able to keep his leet and strike out, the fancy branches of the art may be essayed. A beau tiful and wall-zlike movement is the long forward and backward roll, which is a great favorite with the ladles. Then the canning of circles, names. and eagles may be at tempted with success after a little practice.

SINGULAR DOTAGG.—One of the Most singular cases of dotage we have ever heard of came to our notice a few days ago. An old lady in her 84th year, residing at the southern extremity clone of our principal streets, named Deborah Brant,has for a long time attracted the attention of her neigh bors and immediate relatives by her singu lar conduct. It appears that Miss B. re ceived a very good education, so considered in her youth, and at the age of thirty, ha v ing no means of support, opened a sehool in the sonthern portion of this county. She would take only eighteen pupils, and tho' numerous applications were made for ad mission, none succeeded. If any vacancies occurred, she took up the applications in the order of date, and admitted a number sufficient to makethe magic eighteen. She would have her school open bat eighteen days in a month, and the school year di vided into two terms ofeig;hteen weeks each. She charged eighteen cents it week for tui ition for the smaller pupils, and twice eighteen for older and more advanced ones. In health she would work eighteen hours a day, devoting the remaining six to sleep. She led this pecullar,sedentary life Lie ' many years with long vacation periodic. In 1849, having received a legacy from an only relative, she came to Columbia, and has since then led a quite secluded life, refusing to see strangers, and seldom. if ever al/ow ing those around her to converse with her. On each returning eighteenth birth-day, she is given to unusual depression of spir its, and during the day will not speak a word. On t eighteenth of each MO th, her reticence and depressions arc wore no ticeable than at other times, She keeps her own secrets, something which younger ladies find it hard to do, and very little is known to assign for this sin gular conduct. In other respects she re tains her faculties to a remarkable deezree. - Chi theory with the most knowing . and speculative ones is that Miss 13. was made the victim of misplaced confidence, in early youth, culminating, no doubt, in terrible realty on or s bont her cit.:,-liteenth birth day. She speaks of no ow- in unkind tones. Tire future may develop more of her singular history. TATTELL'S Llyr o Acr,.---No. 1329 of The, Living Age.

In vecordanco with this professed put-pose, hp proceeded to the livery stables of Jesse and John Taylor, on Walnut street, and making the same statement there, procured a horse and top buggy wagon. lie was to return that evening, but did not make his appearance; neither did Ire return the next morning, Messrs Taylor becoming alarm ed in regard to the matter, ono of them drove out to Mr. Hickman's, en Friday morning, when he ascertained that the ab sentee bad not been there at all.

He left Mr. Kenny's, of vont se, without paying his bill, arid to allay suspicion, in regard to ins :na tives, did not take a well flied carpet bag with him, which he had brought on his first adeent. Upon opening this, Mr. Kenney found that its goodly- proportions had been attained by feeding it upon small cribbage Leads—which, not being of th echaracter he supplies his excellent table with, left him minus :Inv recompense for the entertain ment of his late guest. The wagon had been run about eighteen months and was made by Wm. Cloud, his name being on thet mann factu table behind; the "fifth wheel " was broken. It cost •s'2so when new. Tire horse was a small bay, about eight years old, with very marked square hips, and was rained at about $.150, There was a grind batiale robe, marked with Jesse Tay lor's mono and a horse blanket in the wagon, Mr. T., knew that Howard had been stop ping at Mr. Kenny's, and as his dice was not a bad one and ho only wished to go a short distance, he let trim intro the horse with •ut mo,:•11 hesitation.

The building, used as a ware room on the first floor, and paint and var mshmg shop on the Secotd floor, is thirty by thirty-live feet. The ono in which the woodwork and trimming is done is eigh teen by twenty-five feet, two stories high. The blacksmith shop is twenty by twenty five feet. The three buildings are connect ed by large platforms and' convenient stair ways. Thirteen bands are constantly em ployed in the different departments. Th c work turned out by this establishment is I of superior quality and finish, and will fa vornbly compare with city manufacture. As a specimen of neat, light work, they have on hand a " trotting buggy" weigh ing only 1:15 pounds; they also have amain- her of "cutter" sleighs on hand. Mr. C. K. :Mellinger is superintendent of the whole business. • Christian Bachman, cabinet maker and j undertaker is establishing a reputation, as a manufacturer of furniture. His ware rooms and shops are on the corner of Main :and Decatur streets. The building used ittr 'the fOrmer purpose' is of brick, three stories high, forty feet Mint by thirty-eight feet deep, adjoining which is his dwelling. The work shops are built of wood, thirty by forty feet, three stories high. The fall farce employed in the establishment is nine men. For superior workman-ship, finish, neatness and durability the furniture I manufactured by Mr. Bachman is scarcely excelled. Notwithstandine; this broad as sertion, ample to timony in support of the fact can be produced in the articles made for persons residing in Philadelphia, Lan caster, Schuylkill county and elsewhere. He is now filling a large order for a gentle man residing in Minersville. Several private sales of borough property have lately been maitc. A building lot on Main street was sold by Andrew Cbarles,to Isaac Walker, who intends building a dwelling house on it. Davis Bees, leaf to bacco merchant, has sold his new residence for f. 42300. Mr. Rees designs putting up a house on the lot adjoining the property just sold. Henry Fry has disposed of the two story brick dwelling in which he resides, for $2BOO. This house is calculated to an .gommodate two families. The Cross Keys Hotel; owned and kept by Win. Ecb ternach for a number of years, has been sold for ',..31500. This is a desirable property, having a largo front and doing a thriving business, It will bo continued as a hotel. The de- , mand for property in this borough has im proved during the last month, this is in a measure owing to Now Year being near at hand, as after that day sales are not easily effected, for the reason that at that tittle tenement houses have been rented for the ensuing year. Sgt. in SPECIAL SERVlCF,S.—Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather on Sabbath evening a large congregation had asembled to hear Rev. S. it. C. Smith's sermon to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. The representation of the brotherhood was large and the attention to the services marked The usual opening exercises over, Rev. Mr. Smith announced his text from Acts of the Apostles, IX chapter and VI verse • Lord, what wilt thou have me to do. . VA) sermon was very able and practical, spealti3r --- =u - tug t - the' gilt Wet iot ouly preeticul one, but particularly per sonal as the subject iu all its bearings was one of vital and eternal interest to everyone r iv,en t. The subject, has both a positive a negative side ; positive, in the various du ties which the question comprehends, and negative in that we ought not to remain iu our sinful condition, but should seek God and his righteousness. The positive side of the question was one which the speaker in tended particularly to dwell upon. We are all sinful, rebellious and fellen; liod calls us by his word. We are exhorted to assume our manhood, to be active and diligent not only in temporal affairs, but in spiritual. 'We must not be idle bat mast be workers in God's kingdoM here. The speaker drew some striking illustra tions front life to show how religion was the only mainstay of man's frail existence, As the iron rails which girt the land would be useless for transportation without the loco• motive and cars—both made and fitted for each other7-se man can serve the purpose:‘ of his Creation oniy by the help of religion —his manhood is complete only in God. The peroration was One of great power, anti an e:oquent tribute to honest labor. The sermon was listened to with interest ttt roughott t.

The court room on Monday afternoon last was the scene of an unusual and exciting occurrence. A young lady who had boon cruelly wronged and who bad sought re dress through the strong arm of the law, and finding that process a rather tedious one, according to her notions, undertook to take the case out of the hands of the court and jury by inflicting a sudden and terrible punishment on the young man who had robbed her of a virtuous name. Several hours before the tragic scene in the court room the young lady in question had pro cured at one of our drug stores a quantity of sulphuric acid, which she put Mtn a common tin cup and carefully concealed the same under her shawl. She mok a chair inside the bar with her attorneys,and when her betrayer came into her presence she motioned him to come to her, awl when ho had reached the proper distance she threw the contents of the cup at him, intending to strike hint in the face, but us he dedged,the greater portion of the acid was received on his head. This scene created quite a buzz in the room. Lawyers in tho vicinity of the affair had their broadcloth ruined, for wherever the acid touched a brilliant scar let was produced. The voting lady was im facdiately arrested and sent to jail, while the injured youth was placed under inedi cal treatment and is now doing well.
