The Americans in Paris had held a meet ing, and adopted resolutions congratulating the Emperor on his escape from assassina tion. The restrictive measures of the Gov ernment had had an effect in checking the improvement in the financial condition of France. Bills empowering the Emperor to remove from Paris all who threatened the public tranquility and constituting a Council of Regency had been introduced into the Legislative Chamber. Letters patent had been issued naming the Em press Regent, in case of calamity to the Emperor. According to a late despatch from Paris, the principal conspirators had conlessed that their plot extended to the assassination of the Pope and the Kings of Sardinia and Naples, JUS well as of Louis Napoleon.

THE LOST DAUGHTER ; and other Stories of the Heart, by Mrs. Caroline Lee Ilentz, RU ihor of " Linda," "Love after marriage," etc., etc. The lamented autbor of the charming etory that gives its title to this attractive vol ume has left behind her many lasting and beautiful souvenirs of her literary triumphs. Hut, among them all, there is not one, per haps, more worthy of her reputation than the ; affecting story of "The Lost Daughter." We j are not called upon, we are aware, to repeat : here all that able critics have so often and I truthfully said in praise of the dramatic pow- ! ers displayed in tho writings of the late Mrs. ! Ilentz—of the ease, correctness, and grace- j fulness of her style—of the purity or the ! strength of her moral principles— or of the ! applicability of her lessons and examples to ' the prudent regulation of the affairs of every ! day life. Like her works, those high opinions i of the critics have become household words j among American readers. But there is still ; room for the spread of the authoress' reputa tion, and for the extended influence of her writings, which are so well calculated to ele vate and enlighten the minds of those who may not yet have had the pleasure to peruse j them. It is due also to the worthy publisher, who keeps these works before the public, that he should be remunerated for his labor and enterprise. Exclusive of " The Lost Daugh ter," this volume contains no less than nine of the authoress' most delightful stories.— Price, in cloth, $1.25, or, in two volumes, pa per cover, One Dollar.

WHAT WE WANT. —The present stagna tion in business of every description ex emplifies in the strongest manner that there is a great want in this community. When the grain crops are good, business flourish es—when medium, business is dull—and in case of a failure, there is no business at all; thus clearly showing that our prosper ity almost entirely depends on this source alone. Years ago, when this point was tl e only outlet for the trade of a vast region of country to the north, those residing here found ready employment at remuner ative wages, but as roads were made and the facilities for carrying goods extended, our citizens, instead of keeping pace with these changes by substituting other sources of employment, kept on in the beaten track, so that while the population depen dent on commerce was increasing trade was decreasing. This was probably owing to the fact that higher wages were made while employment was to be had under the old business than mechanical pursuits af forded. The shoemaker, tailor, cabinet maker, blacksmith, carpenter, saddler, founder, forgeman, and other occupations were looked upon as secondary acquisitions, all seemingly forgetting that each man ad ded to labor became a consumer of the very articles sent away, and of course a patron to other occupations. The conse quence of all this hits been that we have but few manufacturers of articles that are exported, and in turn produce a flow of money into the town. While other places have their factories employing hundreds, we, with water and other power in abun dance, give a bare living to a few foundries, and mete out to almost every other mechan ical business no more. In many towns in this State, not half the size of Lewistown, agricultural machines are manufactured to a large extent and sent all over the State; in others carriage making is the principal business, and we have one in mind now that from this source alone derives from one to two hundred thousand dollars annu ally. In others, shoes, gloves, and hun dreds of other articles are made, not as here for home consumption alone, but for other places, so that a reciprocal trade is estab lished, partially affected it is true by hard times, but still independent of a failure of crops. This xcc want here, if we desire to j go ahead. TEMPERANCE. — Every four or live years, during the past twenty-five, a feeling of temperance has sprung up, at times extend ing over the whole country. The thing itself has always beeu jK'pular among well meaning citizens and especially among the female class, because the evils arising there from—unhappy homes that were once plea sant, contentions, strifes, and alienations, poverty, shame and crime—have fallen in the main upon the latter with much great er force than upon the victims of inebria tion; but, like in most other measures of reform, a fanatical zeal has almost invaria bly taken post-e-sion of some, which in the end resulted in injuring the cause they professed to advocate. When arriv- \ ing at this stage, they are 110 longer men of j reason : they forget that if wrong is pcrpe- ! trated. it is in the name and by the author-' ity of law —that many, having seen the error of their ways, have left the bush lec tor other pursuits, and settled down as cit izens and neighbors, and are even anxious that the laws that he shall he enforced re specting the sale of liquors—that others, imbued with an ultra spirit of liberty as to personal action, claim the right, not only to drink, but to get drunk when and where they please. Now i.s it necessary to the cause of temperance, that those out of the business shouMl be denounced in public by name; and if this step be countenanced, how long will it be before relatives and friends will see the sanctuary of the dead invaded, and their parents and others who sleep there held up as monsters of iniquity? How long will it be before relatives will be arrayed against relatives, friends against friends, and bitter feuds engendered ? Not long, it history be true. If this course in 1 temperance be reason, why do not our preachers adopt it in the pulpit, and by name denounce every member who has been guilty of sin, whether it be ruin-selling, oppression of the poor, injustice to others, want of charity, or anything else in the catalogue of man's transgressions ? " Ah! it would not do," exclaims the Methodist, the Lutheran, the Presbyterian, the Epis copal. " But," we ask, "if it is right, why would it not do ?" " Because," they all answer, " it would break up our congre gations . And if such a course will break up a religious congregation, held together by the strong tics of spiritual worship, will it not be much more likely to br.ak up a temperance association affiliating only in a moral cause ? Such a question needs no answer. It is an intemperate, temperance, for there can be a drunkenness of words as well as of rum—a drunkenness in zeal as well as in whiskey.

As almost every fertile brain is fabricating a story of its own respecting a difficulty that has arisen between the Burgess and Town Council and the Washingtonian Society, the following statement of facts may serve "to en lighten some who are evidently kept in igno rance as to the true state of the case: Shortly after the organization of that soci ety, I took the responsibility of giving the members the Town Hall fur the purpose of holding their business and other meetings, at 25 cents per night; but soon finding that there was much carelessness used in burning gas, I notified the officers that the gas bills, as ren dered by the company, would have to be paid, instead of the 25 eents per night. This ar rangement continued without interruption and with every indication that the society would prosper and be productive of good, until towards the chse of January, when one of the speakers introduced one of our citizens into his harangue by name in dishonorable terms, one too who is and always has been a decided advocate of Temperance. Many in fluential and leading citizens called my atten tion to this violation of propriety, and others spoke t< the Council in strong terms of con demnation of such a procedure. The Council met shortly after, and during a discussion of the matter, in which I stated to them the con ditions on which the Washingtonians occupied the hall, it was unanimously determined that on a repetition of such unbecoming conduct, I should notify the society that tho arrange ment under which they occupied it was ter minated. Of this the mc-utbers of the society cannot plead ignorance. The succeeding meeting was conducted with the approbation of all present, but on the next one the same speaker who had befure violated that common courtesy due to all, indulged in his practice of naming one not now connected with the sale of liquor, and pointedly referring to an other. It is perhaps no more than justice to the Temperance Society to say that there was but one person who thus trespassed on private life. The Burgess and Council not regarding the Town Hall as a place where men should, under the guise of temperance, spit out their spleen, determined that as neither the officers nor the meeting saw proper to call liitn to order, to put that association on the same footing as others who desire to rent the hall. Of this I gave notice to one f the secretaries in person. The gas bill for January, at the time of writing this, still remains partly unpaid. The metre, on its third face, having marked about DOOU feet, which would leave IGOO for this month, I called Mr. Grey's attention to it.— lie stated that he did not take that face as his guide at present, but the centre one, and put duwn the register on Tuesday at 8000 feet, leaving GOO additional feet unpaid for—mak ing the balance due by the association for gas During their meetings, about or §9 worth of coal has been consumed, which was paid for out of the borough funds. During all these difficulties, I have repeat edly stated that if the citizens of Lewistown desired to hold temperance meetings, the hall was open to them on the payment of $1 for fuel and light, but this offer did not suit some of those who seemed determined only on hav ing their own way. lam for my part willing to bury the past, and trent with any respecta ble members of the Washingtonian or any other society, provided thoy will pledge them selves as a society to frown down all attempts to invade the sangtity of private life by drag ging to public view the names of citizens not now engaged in the liquor traffic; but to threats or force I will not yield. With this brief exposition, I shall leave the public either to conderau or approve my course, und will add that while I retain control of the hall, I shall not suffer a jteinperance meeting to bo wantonly disturbed, neither will 1 sanction a course on their part calculated in my judg ment to engender strife and discord among peaceable citizens, by converting a war on li quor into a war on individuals.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. 20.—Last evening about 7 o'clock the Methodist Protestant Church on Sixth street, near Race, was partly destroyed by the explosion of defective gas pipes. At tho hour mentioned seme fifteen persons were assembled in the basement for meetings, when a strong odor was felt, and an effort was made to discover the leakage. A light was applied to the metre, when the blaze burst forth, but was extinguished by a buck et of water. Quiet was almost restored, when the explosion took place, tearing up the floor, shattering the walls, and making a wreck of the basement. More than halt tho pews in the church were torn up, windows were blown out, aud portions of the floor blown as high as the ceiling. Doors were forced from their hinges and blown into the street. The ex plosion was heard at a distance of half a mile. The windows of many buildings in the vicin ity wore destroyed. Eight or ten persons were severely ounded, and two or three of them are not expected to survivo. Pennsylvania Legislature. A bill lias been reported to compel all railroads in the Commonwealth to fence their roads whenever viewers, upon appoint ment by the courts, shall deem it necessary, upon petitions of citizens properly filed, to grant such views.

Died, at his residence in Chainbersburg, Da., n Thursday evening, the 4th of Febru ary, the Rev. JOHN ROSEXBURG, after a j short illness of some six weeks. Rev. Mr. j Rosenborg was born on the 7th of December, ! 1815, in Sharon, Schoharie county, N. Y. • His father having died when he was but a boy, j and being the oldest of a large family, it be- j came his duty to take his father's place at the j head of the farm. It was during this period : that he showed those evidences of energy j which followed him through life. 11c was always sedate and thoughtful, and when he became awakened and converted under the preaching of Rev. P. Wieting about toe year ; 1834, he consecrated himself to the Lord, and j soon after commenced his studies in our sem iuary at llartwick—he spent (1 think) two sessions in Union college, and about five years at llartwick, during which time he made good progress in the sciences and languages. lie was licensed by the Franckeau Lutheran Synod in 1840; perhaps in the autumn of the same year he became pastor of the Lu theran church of Middletown, Pa. In 1841 he became pastor of the Lutheran church at Dickenson, Cumberland county, Pa. In the ; winter of 1842 be was married to Miss Ilad desa Ealy, of Shippensburg. In -June, 1842. j he was ordained by the Franckeau Synod, then in session at Ncwviile, Herkimer county, X. Y. Sometime afterwards he was elected pastor of the Lutheran church at Lewistuwn, Pa., where he labored with success. He mm joined the Synod of West Pennsylvania.— Part of the time he resided in Lewistowu he was principal of the Lewistowu Academy. Bro. Rosenborg was also pastor of the Lu theran church in Middletown, Md., where the first indications of the disease appeared that brought him to his grave, viz., bronchitis. In 1854 ho came to Ohambersburg, and preached lbr seme time for the Lutheran churches at Straws burg and Sherers. Bro. Rosenberg was a good man, honest, sincere, fearless and firm. His literary and theologi cal attainments were respectable, and although he was no brilliant genius, he was a man of good sound common sense, and very practical. He loved the Lutheran Church, and labored hard to promote her best interests. He was a good practical preacher, and will no doubt have many seals to his ministry in the great day. His record is on high; he lias passed away from earth ; his eud was peace. As an old and fast friend, it was delightful and pleasant, yet solemn and painful, that 1 saw him on his deathbed ! I had a great deal of conversation with him. He had a good hope iu Christ Jesus—ho put all his trust in the merits of the Redeemer—Christ was his all and in nil. He was calm and composed—he had no doubts as to his interest in Christ.— Oh, how cheering to see a dear friend stand ing upon the verge of Jordan with such bright hopes! He did not suffer much, his disease was hereditary bronchitis, or what is in com mon life called galloping consumption. To this disease he was predisposed. Last sprint a sad event occurred which no doubt hastened on his end. His eldest son, a tine and inter esting boy of 14 or 15, was crushed on the railroad and died a few hours afterwards. This terrible scene so overpowered the father, and so crushed his spirit that he never recov ered from the shock. As his health had de clined for some time before he took his bed, he was not in the active duties of his office at the time ef his death. He died by syncope, and of course suffered no pain. He leaves a wife and two ohildren, and a large circle of friends to mourn their loss, which is his gain. Jbe funeral was attended by a large number of the citizens of Chambersburg—the bearers were all clergymen of the different denomi nations. The officiating clergymen were Rev. AV. F. Eyster and myself. Bro. Rosenburg was in the 43d year of his age. Yours, &c., R. WEISER.
