The weather was intensely cold iu the early part ot-jdasi week, and the snow, which lia-i previously .fallen, made most excellent sleighing, and it was kept up throughout the whole of the past.week—the beat, and, we believe, the longest stretch of sleighing that we have ever had in this city. Everybody* who could afford it, and a majority who could not afford it, indulged liberally in the amusement. Tho weather in the past two days has greatly moderated, and our streota and side-walks are in a most deplorable condition. Navigation in the upper rlvere is suspended, owing to the heavy floating ice—no boat has ventured north during tho week. Boats, however, continue to run in the lower trade. The river is low, and by the interruption of navi gation, the receipts of produce are very light. Sales on ’Change Saturday—Hemp from $llB to sl6s' per ton; Floor $4.25 to $6.25 ; Wheat $1 to $1.22; Coro 68 to 70c.; Oats 54 to 57c4 Barley Mess Pork $10.50; Whisky 23c.; Hay $1 ; Hides 13c.; Hogs 5% to 6>/£. nu mber killed at this point to dato is computed at 30,500.

The army officers of Forts Laramie and Kearney have recommended the removal of tho United States Military Depot from Nebraska City to Omaha. The returns from Kaunas come in slowly and indicate the election of tho entire Black Bepublian, “Irrepre.ssi' ble" ticket. Thif is about as much as could have been expected from that unfortunate Territory. At the D-mncrtic caucus in Kentucky, Lire Non. John C. Breckinridge, was declared the candidate fur U. S.

The Uuion Meetiug held In Philadelphia is highly com mended by the patriotic citizens of this community, and gives us hopo that all of tho Northern people will not turn fanatics.

The sentiments of Mr. Ingeraoll aro the senti ments of al! conservative and l-iw-.tbiiing citizens, eith-r iu the North or in tho South, ami th-y are a well deserved rebuke to the fanatics and liisunlonistß who are Preaching Black Republicanism, Abolitionism and fanaticism, and by so doing encouraging and giving aid and comfort to Insurrections, incendiarism and treason.

Tde Wonder of the Aue. — The ljpg looked for much talked of, frequently announced Winan steamer, from Bdtiraire, Captain Vaughan, arrived hero Saturday at 1 o’clock, and took up quarters at Town Point.— Though the weather before aud since her j arrival has been unpleasant, hundreds of the ! citizens of the two cities have visited the strange looking craft. This steamer is entirely different in appear ance from any other afloat, lying in the water like some great black sea monster with head and tail uuder water, and entirely concealed from view. As she is modeled with a view to attain extraordinary speed, and is designed to pass through and not over the waves, her upper works, engine, ifco., are unusually com pact, occupying but little space. Midway she is of considerable size, tapering off grad ually fore and aft, and resembles iu a very striking degree a segar. Capt. Vaughan says that the performances of the steamer with regard to speed and gen eral movements in the water are satisfactory and fully. meet the expectation of .those interested in her. Her length is 235 feet; tonnage, custom house measurement, 203 tons. The cabin, aft is about 35 by 20 feet, and is quite comforta ble and pleasant. There is, besides, a cabin in the fore part of the steamer.— Portsmouth (Pa,) Transcript.

Pharisaism in the Pulpit. —The chief Priests in olden times besought for the release of Barrabas, a noted malefactor.preferring him before Christ ; and the Abolition clergy of today, truo to their instinct, are elevating another malefactor, a highwayman, a horse thief, an incendiary, to the position of a saint—a demi god. Instead of preaching Christ, the Saviour, they preach John Brown, the insurgent—instead of religion, treason instead of godliness, lawlessness.

Some millions, here, in Freedom's lam), Her mandates all obey ; And those are branded, *‘ Not genteel !” Who do not own hor sway. She draws the patterns for the garbs Onr men of fashion wear ; She fixes, too, the style of cut For whiskers and lor hair; And no moustache can grace a face, To win a lady’s smile, Unless 'tis straightened out or curled In Fashion’s latest style. Her U3y subjects must on hoop 3 Spread out their crinoline, And sweep the pavements, wheQ they walk, With silks or eatios fine., Their waists must be genteel in size, Though stays and strings may kill, Because the fettered lungs with air Are not allowed to fill. Some ladles’ foet, with proper claims, For No. 6's may call; Vet No. li’s or 4’a they wear To make their feet look small. “Tall aches from little toe corns grow,” As they’ve been made to feel! But corns don’t go against their grain, I! they can look gouteei. Tboir shoes and slippers must be thin, For Fashion so decrees, Though thicker shoes would save (heir hoalth, And save them doctor’s fees. They sacrifice their health and wealth For foolish pride alone— 0. blest the hour when Common Sense Shall Fashiou’s queen dethrone! You ask : “ Where'll be the Tower Hall, When Fashiou has no sway? And where, oh! whero will be the Bard ? And where his thrilling lay ?” We answer: Tower Hall will loom In fair proportions high ; And Bennett's Bard on Fancy wings A loftier flight will try ; For then they’ll make at Tower Hall The Clothes we really need, Which we can wear and be all right Until they go to seed; - And then a man will oot be judged By coat, or pants, or vest; Bnt, justly, only by the heart Which beats within his breast!

[dceB 471 y Scrofula, of King’s Evil, is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades the whole body, and may burst out in disease on any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks, nor is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis ordered or unhealthy food,, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection* "What ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con stitution, descending “ from parents to children unto the third and fourth generationindeed, it seems to be the rod of Him who says, ** I will visit the iniquities of the fathas upon their children.” Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; in 'the glands, swellings; and on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor ruption, whiclvgenders in the blood, depresses the energies of Hfe, so that scrofulous constitu tions not only suffer from scrofulous com plaints, but they have far less power to with stand the attacks of other diseases; conse quently, vast numbers perish by disorders which, although not scrofulous in their nature, are still rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consumption which de cimates the human family has its origin directly in this scrofulous contamination; and mhny destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from oi are aggravated by the same cause. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; their persons are invaded by this lurking in fection, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system we must renovate the blood by an alterative medicine, and in vigorate it by healthy food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in * AYER’S Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, the most effectual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this every where prevailing and fatal malady. It is con . bined from the most active reraedials that have been discovered for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the system from its destructive consequences. Hence it should be employed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also those other affec tions which arise from it, Yuch as and Skin Diseases, St. Anthony’s Fire, Hose, or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules, Blotches, Plains and Boils, Tumors, Tetter and Salt Hit elm, Scald Head, Kinoworm, Rheumatism, Syphilitic and Mercurial Dis eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debility, and, indeed, all Complaints arisino from Vitia ted or Impure Blood. The popular belief in “ impurity of the blood ” is founded in truth, for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa rilla is to purify ami regenerate this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions. Ayer's Cathartic Pills, FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIC* are so composed that disease within the range of their action can rnrelv withstand or evade (them Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse, and invigorate every portion of the human organ ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities. As a consequent of these properties’ the invalid who is bowed down with pain or physical debility is astonished to find his health or energy restored by a remedy at once so simple and inviting. Not only do they cure the cvery-day complaints of every bodv, but also many formidable and dangerous diseases. The agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis mv American Almanac, containing certificates of their cures and directions for their use in the following complaints: Costive ness. Heartburn, Headache arising from disorda'ed Stomach, Xausi-a, Indigestion, Pain in and Morbid Inaction of the Boicets, Flatulency, Loss of Appe tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints, arising from a low state of the body or obstruction of its functions. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, FOR THE RAPID CURE OF Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump* tion, and for the relief of Consumptive Patients in advanced stages of tho disease* So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu merous are the cases of its cures, that almost every section of country abounds in persons pub liclv’known, who have been restored from alarming ami even desperate diseases of the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the'distressing and dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs that arc incident to our climate. While many inferior remedies thrust upon the community have failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to be forgotten.
