Some changes have been made in the arri val and departure of trains on the railread. George Blymyer has received a lot of Furs —Johnston & Clarke give notice to those in debted to pay up—and a notice to the credi tors of Joseph Ferguson also appears. next paper will probably be pub lished on Wednesday, in order to give our hands the customary holiday from Christmas to New Year. THE HOLIDAYS.— Although money, like ma ny of our loafers, is "tight," we presume the holidays will hardly go round without sundry presents finding their way into the hands of voung and old. Toys, candies and nuts will do for the small fry, but for the larger ones a better practice than formerly existed is get ting into favor, namely, of presenting some thing of use. This we think is commeudable on all hands, and ought to be more extensive ly practised than it is. A fancy article, a book, jewelry, or a dress, never comes amiss to a young lady, and from those whose pock et books are more expansive than ordinary, a gold watch, a set of furs, or a fine shawl, will hardly be rejected if offered. It is best how ever for all to confine themselves within their means—but be those means what they may, to give something to some one, because it is always gratefully remembered. The po<?r al so ought not to lie forgotten—a contribution to their table, articles of clothing, meat, wood, i or anything else, will tend to lighten their hearts and make them glad when nearly ail j Christendom professes to be joyous. Seir 2 'he Baltimore Daily American, second to no paper in the Union either a a new-pa per or commercial organ, will be published on and after the Ist day of January next, greatly improved in ai! its departments, and serve ! to subscribers in the city at the redu. ced price of twelve and a half cents per week, payable to the carriers, and mailed to sub scribers out of the city at the rate of £0 per annum, payable invariably in advance. The Tri-weekly American, which is exclusively for .. . ! country circulation, containing all the read ing matter that is published in the Daily American, will be mailed at the reduced price ' of $4 per annum, payable yearly or half yearly, invariably in advance. THE FOREIGN TRADE. The tables accompanying the report of the Secretary of the Treasury give the following gross exchange of the treasury year : Imported—in foreign goods, $310.43:;..120 • foreign specie, 4.277.022 TOLT!. $114,639,912 Exported—ill ;>rod-rce •>'. the United SUFS, *266.429.051 Foreign i --exported, 14.7-1,3N2 Remitted—in American goid. 44.14".279 foreign specie, 1.5*17,2>J6 llaiar.i.'i; in f : .0/ th • United State.-, $12,324,976 This is rather a curious mode of showing a balance in favor of the United States. The I true mode to ascertain how we stand is to j take the importations of goods and deduct the exports.

Stine will deliver a lecture before the Apprentices' Literary So ciety on Saturday evening next. The public are invited to attend. Bfeay-'fhe water has been let out of the ca nal, so that there is a final suspension of boating for the season. A considerable num ber were caught away from home, and had • to tie up wherever a harbor could be made. NEW FIRM.— We understand that John Kennedy, Sen., Robert 11. Junkin and John Kennedy, Jr., have farmed a copartnership under the lirin of Kennedy, Junkin & Co., i and purchased the stock of goods in Marks' mill store, where the new firm will continue the business. The stock is next thing to new, ' and with a liberal supply from the city of the latest styles, constitutes a depot from which ; the most fastidious can be pleased, in prieo !as well as goods. This arrangement will in nowise interfere with the old business stand of John Kennedy, where he will continue to dispense Hams, Shoulders, Flitch, Bacon, ' Beef, and other indispensables necessary for the good of the public, on the most liberal scale, for the usual "quid pro quo." Marks' counting room for the transaction of that j gentleman's business, will for the present be continued at the storestand. KILLING DEER.—A tine doe we are told was killed on Saturday last on the turnpike be | tween Reedsvilie and Milroy, by two men who saw it coming through a corn field; watching their time they disabled it with stones, and then cut its throat. These beau tiful animals have a hard time of it at this season of the year, being driven from one haunt to another by men and dogs, some of whom are worrying the poor animals night and day. The sport is no doubt exciting to those who follow it, but there are too many engaged in it for the quantity of game. The | best hunt that could be got up at this time would be for a party, large or small, to ren dezvous in the neighborhood of Locke's Mills, | and thence proceed to scour Triester's valley and adjacent parts, in which neighborhood a | "varmint" believed to be a panther, has been making its home. Its capture would be some thing to talk about, and if a panther, render i a material service to the deer, many of whom would be ruthlessly destroyed during the | winter by this prowler: but if not, other game ; can always be scared up there, and ii the party would not capture a bear or two and a ! few deer, it would probably be their own fault. FOWL BURGLARS. —It is evident from the number of hen roosts lately robbed, gobblers ; beheaded, and geese silenced, that some or ganized gang are nightly at work to deprive our citizens of the gsod things laid up for Christmas! This petty thieving is very pro voking, particularly when a gobbler suddenly disappears just as he i- getting in prime or* I der fur the table, and ought to bo put a stop to, though how it is to be done has puzzled j wiser heads than ours. A string carried from | a beli to the coop door, so that it could not be opened without ringing the bell—a good steel trap, securely chained—a spring board with a lv trap —or something of that kind, might perhaps lead to the detection of some of these foul conspirators who are too lazy to i work, but not too lazj' to prowl around a whole night to rob a roost. As this evil seems to extend over the whole country, we hope Mr. Buchanan, when he takes his scat as President, will pay more attention to it than has been done by Pierce, who is a!way ready to put the army and navy to work to to restore a stolen or runaway darkey from the south, but don't seem to care a button i what becomes of northern personal property that is stolen or strays away, in fact, we j dou't know but it would bo wise to recom mend to Congress to create a new department for the detection of Ghicken Thieves, as it would be of immense public benefit, and at j the same time afford an opportunity to reward ; a number of his supporters with fat offices. Forney would do for its head, and the disap i pointed for postmasterships for subs. s>as"Joseph Strunk, son of Ilcnry, was thrown from bis horse on Saturday night by the aniija! running against a post, and some ! what bruised- The horse was so much inju | red that he ha* b moo boon killed. German miners from Hope Fur nace, named Schmidt and I.f inhart, got into a fight on Saturday evening .at a house in Water street, in which Leinhart was severely injured. The parties were committed to jail, l and there from a failure to open the ventila tors after making a fire in the furnace, pretty ; weli roasted. CONGRESS.— The House has passed a strong resolution against the Slave Trade, as advo | cated by some Southern fools. Gen. Whifc i field has been sworn in as delegate from Kan sas. 1 lie President's Message, communica ting a letter and the journal of Gov. Geary, was laid before eacli House on the 10th. It substantiates the charges of partiality by Le comptc in favor of slavery advocates—by ad mitting them to Lail, and refusing the same privilge to free state men. Pennsylvania Railroad Tonnaje. —The bus iness in freight of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for November, shows a falling off from the same period of last year of 2,132 tons. This decrease is in consequence of the low stage of water in the Ohio river. The local tonnage, in the meantime, has increased handsomely—eastward 10,337 tons, arid west ward 2906 tons. The total amount for the year is 400,409 tons, and during the same pe riod in 1855, 326,972, making a difference , of 73,437 tons in favor of 1850. Book Notices.

B. 1 Peterson, 102 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, ' for a copy of the illustrated edition of''Little Dorrit, bv Chas. Dickens. Like many oth • ! crs who read the works issuing from the pro -1 1 itic pen of Dickens, wo have gone through this work with some disappointment. It has t ■ many good scenes, but in plot and develop ment falls lar behind most works which have appeared under his name. Characters are ( ; introduced who figure for a moment as im : portant, reappear perhaps once or twice, and | are then lost sight ol entirely; omissions that would not be overlooked in a new candidate | for public favor. Little Dorrit, Clennam, and the father of the Marshalsea, are sustain . cd with interest, hut beyond these there is but , little in the work that reminds us of the au r tlmr of the Pickwick Papers. The price of Little Dorrit, in paper cover, is 50 cents, and ; for that sum it will be sent free of postage to. , j any address. All the works of Dickens are i published by Mr. Peterson in thirteen vol . umes, at 50 cents a volume, or tho whole for '; $5. hrst Book xn Composition, for the use of schools, on an entirely new plan, bv F.

New York, i This little.work is we think the best adapt ed to meet the difficulties encountered by cbil " ; dren in constructing sentences that we have > ever met with. It sets before the pupil, un der each subject, a series of definite thoughts, - j each of which he can readily develop, and - ; then arrange with other thoughts in the form ilof a c imposition. He thus obtains a clue to i ' what is to be done, and in his own simple j language gives utterance to his ideas, i The Juvenile iJcJiner: A collection and clas sification of familiar words and names cor rectly spelled, accented and defined. By | Win. YV. Smith, author of the Speller's and Detiner's Manual. 120 pages, 12mo. New York : A. S. Barnes & Co. This work in part supplies a want long felt ! by teachers in imparting a knowledge of def initions to new beginners, hut the author has ' fallen into the common error of most writers in getting up books for the young in not bringing himself down to the subject. By tiiis we mean that his definitions must fre j qucntly be as much of a puzzle to the pupil . 1 as the word intended to be defined, of which iwe could give a number of instances. The ; book, however, is well got up, and the words being classed under appropriate heads, spell j el, accented and defined, will do much to ! wards aiding beginners in understanding the meaning of familiar words. | Mr. F. J. Thomas, at Cogley's bookstore, is the agent for Messrs. Barnes &. Co., from whom all their works, or any information re lating thereto, can be obtained. Olla Podrida.

Those from the friends of Walker arc, of coarse, favorable to that personage; but reports from unbiassed parties state distinctly that Walker has been defeated, and that his occupation of Central America is nearly at an end. it is almost impossible to obtain anything like re liable information regarding events, inasmuch as the most unblushing falsehoods arc coined by those interested in the success of the Am ericans; and the great bulk of the informa tion obtained is unfortunately through these channels. The destruction of Granada is believed to have been for the purpose of driving the en emies of Walker entirely from the citv—its strongly built houses being frequently used by them as fortresses, and affording advanta ges not accessible to the Americans. THE SLAVE EXCITEMENT. CINCINNATI, Dec. 13.—The Evansville Journal is informed, by gentlemen direct from lennossee, that on the 9th, the whole region from Memphis through Clarksville and Dover, on the Cumberland river, was in a state of the greatest alarm in regard to the movements of the slave population. The jails in all the counties were crowded with the arrested blacks. The county Courts had been assembled in each county, and vigilance committees and patrols appointed for each neighborhood and township. Eight more negroes had been hung at Dover, making 19 in all. No overt act has yet been committed, but the proof of insurrectionary designs is said to be conclusive. BALTIMORE, DOC. 10.—The Southern, mail brings New Orleans papers of Monday and Tuesday, leaving one mail still due. The reported slave insurrection in Harrison county, Texas, proves to have been greatly exaggerated. The committee charged with i the investigation of the matter, reports that there is no evidence of any concert among the slaves, nor are any whites implicated. The Alexandria (Louisiana) Gazette says, also, that the rumors of insurrection there have been greatly exaggerated. GREAT FIRE. DETROIT. Dec. 1 (3.

Hollowai/s Ointment and l'ilts an unfailing Remedy fur Scrofulous Sores.—The eldest i son of Anthony Barnet, aged 14, of Calves ; ton, Texas, was an awful sufferer with serof j ulous sores on his limbs; the parents took him to several doctors, and did all in their power to alleviate him, but he only became worse. A sister of Mr. Barnet, who had been cured of a bad leg by Hollow,ay's Oint ment and Pills, took the child under her pro tection, stating she would try what effect a few weeks' residence with her would do. No sooner had she got him at her own house than she tried Hollow-ay's Ointment and 1'ills; they soon caused an improved appearance in the child, and after using them about ten weeks, every symptom of his disorder had vanished like snow before the sun—such is the power of these wonderful remedies ! They will al so cure all disorders of the skin. Married. On the 28th of October, by Rev. A. IV. Casper, SAMUEL TKOXEL, of Beaver town ship, Snyder county, to Miss SUSAN IIIN'E LEY, of Mifflin county.

In her death the M. E. Church has lost an excellent mem ber; the citizens of Marklesburg have lost a good neighbor, and her family has been be reft of a precious wife and mother. She died well, beyond tlie shadow of a doubt, and has gone to her reward in Heaven, where four ot her seven children had gone previouly. November 5, 1850.
