Tne Herald Hotchpotch.
In our last issue we spoke of the editorial
trio, who control 'the - Colimns of the kler
aid. As but very few of our citizens really
know tho true moral condition of this hap
py band, we will try to enlighten them. Of
the local editor, Grier, it is hardly necessary
to speak. His antecedents are well known,
and the citizens of Jersey Shore, Pa., of
Alexandria 1/a., (tobacco shop confssions,)
Newport and Newborn N. C., and even of
Columbia, could, if they would, bear bright
testimony to the high tone of this great so
cial despoiler. In looking over the old tiles
of the Sry we find a few stanzas of poetry,
in which the poet draws the picture of a
satanic council, in pandemonium. Three
unlucky mortals spring into being there;
01 Grier the muse sings thus :
A. printer of this one—a giant that gloats
Oa virtue that's easy and free,
Behind men's backs he'll cut their throats
His name is W. H. G.
To be an assessor he'll change his vole
And become a policy pimp,
And by his acts all men will .vote
The most contemptible imp.
Young, the tariff man belongs to the "let
us alone" school of gentlemen, or he would
teach democratic congressmen from Penn
sylvania, such as Woodward and Getz, to
abandon free trade ideas.
1.00 P. 31
But the secret power behind the Herala's
throne is the classic writer, agent, telegraph
er &c., whom his satanic majesty, speaking
thus, sent into life;
This lean one, a telegrapher shall be,
A vile pipe-smoking
And by name we'll call him —.—.
Of honesty he's an apist.
If Iron-mongers depletion need,
He'll soon abduct their pelf,
For of all the imps that lean breed,
He comes nearest to myself.
This man is an attachee of the Herald of
fice and receives $lOO.OO per annum for his
services in writing up smutty locals, splen
etic personals, and bitter editorials. Ills
forte consists mainly in the use of spiteful
adjectives, and doubtful "willow ware,"
and in adjusting unbalanced accounts, es
specially when he happens to be a party to
the account. It was he who recently wrote
the "Romance of villainy," and they were
his manuscripts which were exhibited
around town several days before Herald
publication clay. It was he too, who has
been defending himself in weekly splenet
ics, until he nearly boiled over with rage.
We have often wondered too what could
have provoked his bitter hate for se
cret societies, benevolent or otherwise. But
when we recount the "day's doings" of
Nov. '--oth 1845, we no longer have cause to
exi.ross surprise. We may add that this
same individual once wrote for the Her
ald over the signature of "Quiz," but in a
short time afterwards, his contributions
becoming highly vulgar he was admitted
into the editorial management of the "smut
machine."
A division of the spoils of office might
satisfy this man, and town council erred in
making Grier both town clerk and borough
assessor. They should have reserved one
of these offices for "Quiz" in consideration
of his supplying the " Smut Machine "
with obscene locals. Out of respect for the
ago and tottering footsteps of our classic
neighbor we forbear further expose, for the
present.
ST. VALENTENT's DAy.—St. Valentine's
Day, the 14th of February, used to be cele
brated in England, Scotland, and in differ
ent parts of the Continent, particularly Lor
raine and Maine, in France, by a very p -
culler and amusing custom.
On the eve of St. Valentine a number of
young people—maids and bachelors—would
assemble together, and inscribe upon little
billets the names of an equal number of
maids and bachelors of their acquaintance,
throw the whole into a reception of some
sort, and then draw them lottery-wise—care
of cout se being taken that Pach should draw
one of the opposite sex. The p,rson thus
drawn became one's Valentine.
These imaginary engagements as may
readily be supposed, often led to real ones,
because one necessary consequence or theta
was, that for a whole year a bachelor re
mained bound to the service of his Valen
tine. At one period it was customary for
both sexes to make each other presents, but
latterly the obligation seems to have been
restricted to the young men. During the
fifteenth century this amusement was very
popular among the upper classes, and at
many of the European courts.. In Charles
the Second's reign, married as well as sin
gle peopl, could be chosen, a custom which
would answer very well in this country of
easy divorces, for a woman one man's wife
one year is just as likely to be the bride of
another the next, and vice versa.
For some time back the festival has ceas
ed to possess the graceful, symbolic mean
ing it used to have, and has become a con
siderable nuisance.
The approach of the day is now heralded
by the appearance in the print-sellers' shop
windows, of vast numbers of missives, each
generally consisting of a single sheet of pa
per, on the first page of which is seen some
ridiculous colored carricature of the male or
female figure with a few burlesque verses
below.
.fore rarely the print is a sentimental
such as a view of Hymen's niter, with a
pair undergoing initiation into wedded hap
piness before it, while Ctipid ilutterrs above
and hearts transfixed with his darts deco
rate the corners.
Maid-servants and young fellows inter
change such epistles with each other on the
14th of February, no doubt thinking that
the joke is amazingly good.
No explanation can be found of the day
being named alter St. Valentine. Several
reasons have been advanced, but none of
them sati , factoey ones.
The observance of the day seems to be
gradually dying out, although the original
custom of selecting 'Valentines was certain
ly a pretty and graceful one.

ExPRESS SirxoNs.—Tbe following copy
of a summons, which was served on one of
our citizens .on Monday has .been banded
to us for publication. It bears a forcible
signification.
To
,greeting :
Yoii are hereby notified to be and appear
at this office in. your proper person, (an&

inst., bringing With you all and singular. a
certain policy of Fire Insurance, for the
production of which, you have hertoforo had
our.prt•cept. Hereof fail not at your peril
and the perils of the " little bell" by the
tintinnabulation of which your personal
liberty and franchises may be , endangered.
Grier of the Rerald has persistently la
bored to identify us with thuggery, an at
tempt as niggardly and dastardly as can be
conceived by his low character: As the
friends of the Spy kifow Our untfifiug ante
cedents, as well as our warmest:Sfilliiiiiiin
with the honest reform party in Lancaster
county, we will take no father notice of
this misrepre4entation: We will favor any
lioneSt effort to break down the one roan
power, whfolii seeks' to control the county
and her interests. The object of Grier is
patent to every one—to create distrust with
our friends, and secure a little patronage,
in fob printing.

TELE HARRIS -DENTAL ASSOCIATION.—A
stated meeting of the Harris Dental Associ
ation was held at tht office of Dr.'Webb in
Lancaster on the 30th ult. The officers
were all present with nearly a lull -attend
ance of the members. Dr. Herr; of Lan
caster, was elected an active member. Dr.
Geo. W. Neidich, of Carlisle, rat., was elect
ed en honorary member. Dr. McCalla, the
regularly appointed essayist of the day,
read an interesting and instructive paper
upon "Extracting Teeth," after which the
Association adjourned to meet at 1 °clock.
P. M.
Afternoon session :—The Association was
called to order by the President, Dr. Satrel.
Welchans. The:subject of essay was then
introduced. A spirited discussion at once
sprung up,_in which the following members
participated: Drs. Moore, Young. Heist
and, Weluhans, Amer, Whorren, Herfi,
Herr, Webb and Smith. The manner in
which the subject was bandied by the es
sayist and the members, demonstrated that
they are keeping pace with a growing pro
fession. Oneness of aim begets oneness of
spirit. The consultation and comparison
of views, the statement and solution of dif
ficulties which are promoted by such con
vention or association, deepen enthusiasm
and increase efficiency. The Harris extends
a welcome to its growing ranks, all those
who wish to encourage a high toned profes
sional status, an investigation in every di
rection. bearing upon the principals and
practice of the profession or collateral sci
ences. Thu Association meets for mutual
improvement by way of cultivating higher
skill and proficiency among its members,
thus benefiting the community in which it
is located.
By the way its meetings are attended,
and the perfect freedom manifested in its
deliberations on the part of those present,
is apparent to an observing mind that the
Association has not been formed in vain ;
but has thus far been influential in promot
ing much good in a local point, while its
influence has also been felt throughout the
State. We prod ict for the Barris great suc
cess and noble achievments.
The next meeting, annual, will ha held
at the office of Dr. Amer, in Lancaster,
when the retiring President will deliver his
annual address. The officers read their re-
Parts and.new officers were re-elected for
the ensuing year. 7 S S
SAD ACCIDENT .—Geo. Miller a brakeman
on Columbia local freight met with a fatal
accident on Thursday afternoon whilst
shifting cars at Harrisburg Depot. He was
thrown in front of a moving car, the wheel
catching his head shoving it some distance
breaking his neck,ca using immediate death.
His remains were brou.t.ht to Columbia
where he will be buried, on Sunday 13th.
He leaves a wifeand six children to mourn
their sudden loss.
Mr. Miller was one of the oldest employ
ees on the road, having been on duty since
1533, when horses wore used as the motive
power. Ho was severely injured several
months ago, being crushed between the
cars in front of the old freight depot. He
also met with an accident on the Reading
R. R. by which one of his hands was se
verely injured. Accustomed to dangers
and hardships, ho finally - met death in the
saddest manner. The sympathies of the
community are with his family.

A Hunsox, N. Y., puper holds out an in-

than the smiles of a lovely woman."

Up through the dlm mists cold and gray.
Gene'ral Joe Uooker leads on the way,
Whilst the wind moans sadly through oak and

rils word of Command rings down the line—
" Charge! Charge:"
And forward they go, on the bristling foe,
While the tents of our army gleam white below.
White haired vet'mn and fair haired child,
Rank on rank with the slain lay piled.
And still on the battle's foremost merge,
Rang forth the voice of the master, " Charge!"
'Till our troops on high, betwixt earth and sky
Planted " the flag," for which we might die,
'Midst carnage and slaughter and fire otholl,
Nobly and bravely they fought and fell.
Whilst the cannon's roar, and the battle's
clang
Along the side of the mountain rang; •
Death and destruction around, above,
Ah ! 'Ds sweet to die for the land we love.
And there came a halt, a pause, and then
Stood forth the leader, a King among men,
And with reverent mein and forehead bare,
Saluted " tne flag" in mid-sky air—
And said as he gazed o'er the land made free:
"Thank God, who glveth the victory !"
Strew flowers o'er every patriot's way,
Who bore the brunt of our war's long day—

FRO3I LANCASTEPL—Wo had an elegant
party, Mrs. Jenkins says during the week,
which has bound our tie,X friendship still
closer to Editorial brethren. A vote was
passed on this festive occasion that the host,
if a Philosopher, must be of the Epecurean
school.—The largo and well-fallen snow
storm, or something else, has detained
Prince Arthur, and he is not here; yet,
though still expected.-- , —The city, too, Is
being greeted with a second visit of "The
Drummer Boy," which meets with unpar
allelled success. Phis play, iu its presmtae
tion to the audience, riials the saying that
"variety in unity is perfection.'' In the
different phases lof allegory, the hundreds
who gather to see it, are all suited, because
something novel and attractive appears to
delight the tastes of all styles of people.
They are really " swayed like a pendulum
bewixt a smile and a tear." The very
melancholy and sadness which fill some
of the audience delights them, while the
flashes of wit and myrth which emanate
from comic characters excite, in turn, side
splitting roars from those who a minute
before were, like Niobe, all in tears. Eve
ry character is so well personated that com
ment and criticisms are equally useless and
impossible. The "Awkward Squad " would
excite the risibles, we think or a drowning
man. Ono (and we think ho answers to
the kunily name of Gorillahotzer) wears a
garment of majenta color which, in cut, is a
cross between a fireman's shirt and an
ancient ;Roman " toga virilis," which the
youth wore in those primitive days of style.
Houses have been full every night, and

The 'Vigilant Fire Company.
At a special meeting of the Vigilant Fire
Company held on Monday evening, the
project of holding a fair ibr the benefit of

mittee consisting of Messrs. Williams, Ho

the necessary arrangements. Cirenlars
have been issued inviting the co-operation
of the ladies in getting np the fair. The
Company will devote the proceeds towards
the erection of a suitable hose house on the
new site recently selected. This new en
terprise of the Vigilant deserves the warm
est support and sympathy of our citizens,
and we trust that all, both ladies and gen
tleman will respond liberally. Help the
firemen in time of need, and they will aid
you in time of danger.

by fire last Sunday night about midnight.
The fire broke out suddenly, and gained
such headway before the alarm was given,
that nearly everything the building con
tained was consamed with it. This prop
erty, with thirty-two acres of laud, was
sold at public sale on January S, by the ad
ministrators of Grey bill B. Forney, deceas
ed to Hiram G. Dissinger for f. , '8,150. The
latter subsequently sold the property to
Henry B. Greybill at private sale. There
is an insurance of $2OOO on the tavern and

EDITOII:—The COMMIM i Cat 1011 in your
last issue, over the signature of" Dayton,"
suggested a thought which deserved more
than a passim;
,consideration, particularly
from parents; amid the daily association of
the family circle the most powerful
germs of activity take root. The young re
ceive impressions, and, chiefly from ex
ample, form habits which will give direc
tion to their actions even when the snows
of age have settled upon their heads. One
of the first great lessons which the young
should be taught, both by precept and ex
ample, is to respect tholaws—whether they
be . thia laws of home, the borough, the coun
ty, theitlite or the nation:' Children shindig
be led to feel that, their characters as true
men and women depend upon the prompt
ness and fidelity with which they live up to
the requirements of the enactments right
fully made for the comfort, pleasure, and
protection of society.
If they are not so 'trained, but, on the
contrary, are directed and helped by their
parents or friends in the performance of
acts forbidden by lain, they are learning
the first lessons in crime, they are being
fitted for taking every degree in the school
of iniquity. The requirements of our, bor
ough laws should be faithfully Complied
with for the sake of the moral effect upon
the community for the sake of the influence
which, will be exercised by the hundreds of
active spirits now deVeloping in our midst.
If parents persist in' violating ordinances
and.call upon their cjiildren.to --help= them,
they must not a few years hence complain
that their children are headstrong and dis
obedient, that instead of being an honor to
them they are bringing disgrace upon them.

Clearfield county on speculation, but prov

meat enough every day from our victual cry.
We understand it was taken to Lancaster

Of was caught in Lyconiing county by a
colored gentleman, living itt Williamsport,
who brought it to Wrightsville to show it
to some relatives living there. It was pur
chased by Detrich of Lancaster, where our
Star friends can have a nice steak. The
person who caught it counts 11 deers. 3
bears and 15 foxes its the trophies of his
winter's sport, and does not consider it a
compliment to have it said that he should
be found in the Wrightsville markets with
such a delicacy us veni.ou—it could not be
appreciated by our neighbor across the

HE FACTS AS THEY ARI•
f We began in 1861 to make Improve
i ments in the style and make of
I Ready-Made Clothing, and continued
1 „, p ,..,,, d. i to do so, introducing new styles and
I ideas every-year, so that the entire char
fll
icier of the business is now vastly
better and totally different from the
systems of older bosses.
I Our Grst idea' Is to learn exactly
.I..iimAT THE CUSTOMERS WANT,
and Instead of persuading him to buy
what may be twist conveniently at
band, we take the utmost pains to meet
HIS wishes.
tThe building we occupy is the MOST
CONVENIENT SIZE, LARGEST AND
BEST ADAPTED for,our bUsiness of
any in Philadelphia
( Customers can see what they are
I buying, our Establishment being on
the corner of three large streets, Mar
ket, Sixth and Minor streets,) abun
dant light is afforded from all direc—
tions. A light store is far better for
customers than a dark one.
.Vcrehants biota that our sales are
larger than those of any other ksuse
in Philaaelphia, in our line: henco we
have to buy larger quantities of goods,
and so get, them at lower prices, es
pecially as we buy altogether for cask.
Buying cheapest, we can sell cheap-

21.—An insight to the wants of the people and an en
terprise to meet these wants, which In seven
years has placed Oak Rail in a position not al
ways attained in experience of twenty-five
veers.
341.—A Building better located, better lighted, batter
adapted and newer In all Its appointments.

only from among the best and most experi

couple with good work a stylishness, in which
Philadelphia tailoring has been particularly
deficient.
It is the liberal patronage with which we have
been favored that has enabled us to fairer the un
paralleled advantages, and this patronage continued
and extended will Multiply advantages, which we
divide between our customers and ourselves.

ice, under fate roof, we offer for sale
an assortmentequal in variety and ex
tent to that embraced by a score of the
ordinary houses.
We have 600 hands employed In the
manufacture or Clothing, who are
constantly making up stock to take the
place of that daily sold; this gives our
customers new and fresh goods to make
selections from.
It is an undisputed fact that this
Department, (a large Hall on our
second doer fronting on Minor street,)
has nothing in Phitudelphin, to equal
it. We have here concentrated the
best skill and workmanship, and those
who prefer Clothing made to order
really have advantages they do not. re.
ceive elsewhere.
DEDUCTIONS.
From all of the above we deduce
this one fact, that Oak Hall has ALL the
advantages of any other Clothing Ei
tahlishments In the city, and in addi
tion these.
