Do Men Wear Corsets?
Interesting Social Bovlationa
to the Editor of the Sun:
SIR :—ln illustration of this subject
to which you have called attention, per
mit me to narrate an incident of my
own experience. Being a woman it is
perfectly orthodox for me to buy and
wear stays. Being at my stay-maker's
one day, I was astonished at seeing a
young man of elegant appearance come
into the store. I said to the shop-wo
man that ho had probably come in by
mistake. "Oh, no!" was the answer ;.
"he has come to order corsets, We sell
a great many to gentlemen:"
I leave you to judge of the manliness
of appropriating an article of apparel
which custom, if not nature, has given
exclusively to women, and beg to re
main. Yours, respectfully,
A LADY OF NEw YORK.
New York, December 16.
To the Ethtor of the ,Sun:
b :—I observe an article in the Sun
on thd'itrearing of corsets by men. My
dentist told me recently that many
young men in this city are accustomed
to wear corsets to preserve - their waists
from becoming too large. 'AVhenever I
have occasion to administer gas to
ladies," he said, "I request them to
loosen their clothing in order to breathe
easily. Occasionally when young men
come to.pave teeth drawn, and wish to
take gaNfl hod that they must imitate
the ladies in the matter of loosening
staystrings. As often as once in two
weeks I have such a ease on hand."
CONSTANT READER.
Boston, Dee. 15, lees.
To the Eddor of the SUII
SIR: You inquire whether men In
this country wear corsets, I answer that
very many do. I know, because I make
them. The finest gentlemen in town
employ this means of giving syMmetry
to their figures. They are not used so
much by young men us by those some
what advanced in life. Wealthy gen
tlemen of middle age like to be thought
handsome, and to have preserved the
symmetry and grace of youth. I should
say that there are at least three thous
and gentlemen in New York that wear
corsets habitually, and lace them pretty
tight too. I enclose my card.
Yours, very respectfully,
Corset maker, Broadway

To Editor of 111 r bun:
tine: I observe in yesterday's Sun,
that you ask if corsets are worn by
men. In this city it is not at all un
„common for tie fashionable young fel
lows about town to have staid ways. A
tailor in the avenue informs me lie has
often found regular French corsets worn
by hiscustomers under their waistcoats,
and they made no concealment of the
fact. I have heard physicians recom
mend the custom fur men of consump
tive tendency. They say it throws the
shoulders back, expands the chest, and
often prolongs life. On the Continent
it is quite the mode. Frenchman, Eng
lishmen and Russians of distinction
make corsets ire mach a part of their
dress as shirts. I remember seeing Bev.
cral I,mdonerS ,at Hamburg, Baden-
Baden and Biarritz, who took special
pains with their stays, and had several
different pairs, using silk in summer
and line woolen in winter. Henri Ro
chefort, the famous journalist, is said to
be a wearer Of corsets, and his graceful
figure is partially' ascribed to their use.
You may recall an article in the Figaro,
published about a year ago, in which
corsets were earnestly recommended.
'Phe writer said they were Ire s ut Hes a la

there is high authority for the use of

Something About Coal
The present being a seasdn when coal
is fret becoming an indispensable com
modity in almost every household, and
therefore constitutes a subject of consid
ablb importance, a brief dissertation
under the above caption may not be un
seasonable.
A distinguished w riter,all u ding to the
introduction of the use of bituminous or
ilanie-burning coal in England, re
marks, that the prejudice against it:was
so strong that the Crown was petitioned
to prohibit the " noxious tuel," and a
royal proclamation was issued to that
i effect. This, however, failed to have
the desired - result; a commission was
' therefore issued to ascertain who burned
coal within -the city of London and its
vicinity, with a power to punish them
by fine for the first offence, and by
demolition of their furnaces if they
persisted in transgressing. A law
was at length passed making it a
capital offence to burn coal within
the city of London, and only permitting
it to be used in the gorges of the neigh
borhood. Among tne records fu the
Tower, Mr. Astle ioundri document lin
parting the fact thar c . in the time of !
Edward 1., a man had been tried, con
victed and executed for the crime of
burning coal in London. It took three
centuries le entirely efface this preju•
dice. Darlington says: "Coal was not
generally employed as fuel until the
beginning of the reign of Charles 1. It
is, however, mentioned iu documents
anterior to the reign of Henry I l 1., for
that monarch, in the year 1234, re
newed a charter granted by his father
to the in hatkitauts of Newcastle, who
were permitted to dig fur coal upon pay
ing a yearly tax Of 1100. That fossil
fuel had been introduced into London
prior to 1306 is proved by the' fact that
in that year its use was prohibited from
the supposed tendency of its smoke to
corrupt the atmosphere."
Although bituminous was the only
fossil coal used either iu America or
Europe before the present century, it
has been clearly shown by reliable au
thorities that anthracite, or non-flame
burning coal had been known for ages.
Sir F. Pollock, in a case which was
tried in 1840, thus alluded to the beds of
anthracite coal in South \Vales, and the
peculiarities of that fuel : " A great
many years ago it was ascertained that
there were large fields (I hardly know
how to use a term capacious enough to
give you a notion of the immense tracts.
of country), which produce a particular
species of coal, called stoneoranthracite.
'Phis is a substance, though called by
the name of coal, that tliffersvery much
from the ordinary or bituminous coal
that you are accustomed to see blazing
in your grates. The common coal, from
whatever place derived, blazes away in
• a cheerful fire, and breaks up readily;
but the anthracite or stone coal differs
both in appearance, structure and char
fluter from common coal. It has a lustre
which is vitreous and almost metalic ;
it does not break up easily in pieces, and
for many purposes - of combustion is
wholly and entirely useless. 'Phis coal
has been knoWii to exist for centuries.
It was known to tie of no use fur domestic
purposes: it has never been applied to
any' of the great processes of smelting,
although attention had been called to it
in various ways; and it was thought
that there must be some mode by which
'1
-so plentiful an article, and apparently
so tempting and promising a subject for
the philosopher, or for the enterm isiug
manufacturer, could be brought into
use."
Such is a brief history of the worth
lesstiss•of anthracite coal in Wales, be
fore-Crane introduced his hot air blast,
for smelting iron in 1837. Even In this
late day it is not used in England for
domestic putposes. In America, the
first cargo of anthracite coal was sent
down the Susquehanna in boats, and
reached the United States armory in
1775; but it was not until 1808 that
grates were constructed at Wilkesbarre,
Pa., to burn it for domestic use, under
the direction of Judge Sell. The Le
high Coal Mining Company was formed
in 1793, for the development and work
ing of this then improved combustible ;

The 11111 Family
Intereetina Sketch of the Murdered
Woman and Her antecedents.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times gives the following sketch of the
murdered woman and of her daughter
and son-in-law, who are now on trial
charged with the murder: Some years
there lived in the city of Washington a
woman (Mary E. Hill,) outwardly of
resp.!ctable; almost sanctimonious ap
pearance, whose business it was to live
by the weakness of women and the vi
ciousness of men. Her elegant furnish
ed mansion was a combination of broth-
eland gambling house, and proved to
many of the brightest intellects of the
land the gate to hell, leading to dishon
o-r and death. The mistress of this pan
demonium, although infamous in some
respects, had some good qualities. She
was benevolent and kindly to the poor
and distressed. She was not married,
but she was the mother of a child,
a daughter (now Mrs. Twitchell)
whose putative father was an offi
cer in the United States .Navy.
Mrs. Hill intended, after she had made
a certain sum of money, to withdraw
from her disreputable business and be
come a good member of society and of
some orthodox church ; for with all her
wickedness she was piously inclined
and strictly orthodox, and regarded
with horror a free thinker or an atheist.
This may seem absurd, but such com
bination of wickedness and religion is
by no means uncommon, as the most
shameless immorality is frequently
found in connection with a devout be
lief in Christianity. The business of
this Washington woman being a pros
perous one, she did not relinquish it.
Indeed, it is scarcely in human nature,
no matter how devotional its instincts
may be, to give up a paying business
simply because it is dishonest or inju
rious to society,; and so her daughter
was brought up amidst associations in
separable from the character of the
house she dwelt in. It is true she was
sent regularly to Sabbath school and
was a punctual attendant at church;
but she grew into womanhood a
"whited sepulchre, fair without,
but foul and loathsome within. Iler
beauty won for her the admiration of a
respectable and wealthy man, named
Martin, who, fascinated by er good
looks, and taking into consideration her
youth, and certain kindly traits of char
acter, thought, in spite of early associa
tions, she might, with proper care, de
velop into a good woman and wife, and
so he married her with a full knowledge
of her character. Shortly after tins
Mrs. Hill was forced by some unpleas-
ant epidode hastily to leave the City of
Washington. She took up her abode in
Philadelphia, where her respectable ap
pearance, her reputation for wealth, and
her regular attendance at church, at
tracted the regards of Mr. Hill, a rich
eccentric, and miserable, but otherwise
respectable old man, who, ignopht of
her former history, made her an
oiler of marriage, and was accepted.
The daughter, Mrs. Twitchell, whose
early trainin , in spite of an honorable
position Eta ro. tu_ur_ iiini k_
asserted itself, was soon divorce
her husband, and wished to rejoin her
mother in her new place of abode ; but
her mother's husband, knowing the
character of the young woman, would
not permit her to become au inmate of
his house. She soon attracted the ad
miration of a prosperous young mer
chant, a married man, with wt,ioni for
some years, she lived openly and un
blushingly, to the great mortification
tpliti.
and unli • ess of his wife and family.
t
After recek •ug many magnificent
presen s from d wasting the substance
of this lover,' e met the person of a
dialing c and aristocratic physician of
this e ty, and with him she next
took up er abode. This gentleman
provided r her very extravagantly and
luxurious] until she got him mixed
up in a law it instituted against her,
which gave him rather too disgraceful
notoriety. He broke off the connection,
and she was again thrown upon her own
resources, or rather upon those of her
mother, who, from her own private
means, unknown to her husband, sup-
piled her daughter very liberally with
money. She, soon, however, engaged
with George S. Twitchell, Sr., an elder
ly man, who, it is alleged, placed his
wife in a lunatic asylum, ostensibly as
housekeeper, at his farm, located in
South Jersey. He, It is said, not being
a man of honor conspired with her to
form a conspiracy age ost a fashionable
dentist, who had pro) Ibly been making
some efforts to gain her affection. This
scheme, in which young Twitchel, son
of her elderly protector, was also im
plicated was thoroughly ventilated and
exposed by the gentleman who was to
have been their victim ;...artif being a
man of courage and determination, he
forced from the woman and her co con
spirators a full acknowledgmentol heir
guilt.. After this unpleasant occur' ens
she reMained tolerably quiet for a little
while, being engaged in fascinating
young Twitchell. During this time her
first protector (the young merchant)
made overtures for her return to ldin,
and these overtures were warmly
seconded by her mother, who was
called upon and made a confidant
of, and asked her to advise her daughter
to return to her former lover. Mrs.
Twitchell, being now twenty five or
thirty years of age, having entrapped
Geo. S. `Twitchell, Jr., determined to
marry him, and secure a home of her
own once more. This arrangement not
being regarded as desirable by old man
Twitchell, he resolved to remove this
coquettish fair one from the farm in
Jew Jersey to the City of Philadelphia,
'where he could have her more directly
under his, own supervision, and to that
end sought to procure boarding for her
with moral,trespectable family ; but the
master of the house having some
knowledge of this " friend," the ar
rangemeut did not come to a satisfac
tory conclusion. This dicer (mile being
annoyed by old Twitchell's jealousy
and bored by the monotony of a coun
try life, ended her connection with him
by entering into a matrimonial alliance
with young Twitchetj, who frequently
visited his father's fErrm to admire the
fine buxom young housekeeper. After)
long time of not too patient waiting,
Mr. Hill died, leaving hermother a very
wealthy and Independent woman. And
now, having an opportunity to carry
out the role laid down for herself so long
ago she rented the fine residence at the
northeast corner of Tenth and Pine sts.,
furnished it elegantly, became a regular
attendant at church, gave largely to
charities, public and private, and was
in a fair way of being canonized as a
first-class saint, when, in an evil hour,
she admitted as inmates to her house
her daughter and her husband. Little
is known of the internal arrangements
of the family t but they appeared to live
pleasantly and harinoniously together,
and many persons/ who noticed their
seeming prospe-it'' and happiness,
wondered if the sort of life led by
these people could have a peaceful
and respectable ending. One Sunday
night Mrs. Hill was murdered in
her own house—robbed, too, of a large
sum, of money, and her daughter, under
circumstances highly suspicious, was
arrested as accessory to the killing of
one who, whatever her vices, had ever
been fond of, and liberal to, her child.
These women had both lived luxurious
ly and plenteously, and had of the
world's goods abundance and to spare,
and had been the objects of envy4to
many virtuous women working hard
for the barest necessities of life. But
behold the end t "The wages of sin is
death." While one of these women has
been foully murdered, the other will
probably terminate an infamous career
in blackness and horror.

CHRISTMAS' OBSERVANCE.S.- - Christmas
was duly observed on Friday by tho citi
zens of Lancaster. Most of the churches
were appropriately decorated with ever
green and the usual Christmas services
were celebrated ; the services in •the Cath
olic and First Reformed Churches being
especially impressive.
The little children were not disappointed
by the nun arrival of "Santa Claus and
Krlss Kringle, ' but as usual these thought
ful and faithful friends of all good juveniles
duly appeared and filled each little stocking
with choice candies, toys, and cakes. In
consequence of this the children were very
happy, and their parents also showed by
their glad countenances that they too ap
preciated the presence of Merry Christmas,
and were enjoying to the fullest extent the
festivities of this favorite holiday. •
A great many beautiful presents were
also made by different parties, and we are
informed that in our charitable institutions
a dinner of more than ordinary good cheer
was prepared for the inmates.
Many of our citizens, together, with 'a
greater number ofjuveniles of course, vis
ited Best's Skating Park, the Conestoga,
and the several ponds witthin the city
limits, and spent the day in that favorite
winter amusement—skating. At Best's
fine park the ice was In splendid condi
tion, and was crowded during the entire
day with skaters of both sexes. Some of
them being experts, by their graceful and
excellent skating administered to the pleas
ure and delight of the numerous spec
ators, as well as affording instruc
tion and aid to beginners. The ice
on the Conestoga was also in good
condition, and was covered with a large
crowd of skaters, who appeared to enjoy the
sport, especially the young folks who went
to try the new skates they had received as
Christmas gifts.
No accident or untoward event occurred
in our city to mar the celebration of this
honored festival, but friendly sentiment and
social pleasure, as far as we can learn,
everywhere prevailed.

THE LHEFERENCE.—WhiIe walking upon
the streets any of these cold days, observe,
for curiosity, if no better motive can be
served, the difference in comfort that exists
between the apparel of the ladies and gen
tlemen whom you may meet along the way.
Here comes a gentleman wearing a heavy
hat, with furs about his neck looking very
wartn and comfortable ; a long beard, per
haps, protects his face from the piercing
wind, and a great coat keeps his body
warm, to say nothing of the vest and heavy
flannels underneath it. His pants of a sub
stantial woolen fabric, set handsomely
around the feet, which are encased in double
or triple soled boots mall° of stout, solid
leather; Woolen stockings, comfortable un
derclothing, and fur lined gloves complete
the outfit. Here comes a lady wearing a
bonnet or hat that a gentleman would con
sider cool in summer ; her face and ears are
exposed to the keen wintry air, •vhile most
probably she wears upon her feet a pair of
thin gaiters. The body may be more suit
ably and comfortably clad, but the same
amount of exposure of the feet and head on
the part of the masculines would make
them have blue instead of red noses all
day, and cough like steam engines all
night ; a reform in this matter of unsuitable
clothing for ladies is estential, and the
adoption by them of more comfortable and
sensible raiment would be attended with
the very best results in the manifest im
provement of their physical being.
DEATH OF A PIIO3IINENT ODD FELLOW.—
The members of the order of Odd Fellows
of this city and county will be pained to
learn that William Curtis, It. W. Grand
Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Pennsyl

Curtis was well known to many of our
citizens and has been an active and promi
nent member of the order of Odd Fellows
for thirty-live years.
A RIOT.—We learn from the Oxford
Press that a riot occurred at Hosanna, a
negro church near Lincoln University, an
institution of learning for negroes located
near Oxford, on the eveningof the 17th inst.
A lestival was being held at the church for
the benefit of the pastor, and several of the
negro students visited it, when a party of
roughs, also negroes, attacked the student
negroes and a severeffight was the result.
Knives, razors, pistols and clubs were freo
ly used, and several of the negro students
were badly cut and bruised. A pistol was
fired at one of the negro students as he was
escaping from the back window which scar
ed him so badly that he has since bad fits.

CALENDER FOR 1869
Lacer. MiscELLApur.—Deer continue to
pass through Harrisburg in large numbers,
says the Patriot ; most of them are shot in
Centro and Elk counties ; they command
high prices.
The Express says that an attempt was
made by two men, about 3 o'clock Saturday
morning to enter the grocery store of Henry
Markley, in West Walnut St., this city. An
entrance was made into the pantry where
they helped themselves to some milk and
other things but, before they succeeded in
entering the grocery, Mr. Markley discov
ered them, when they left.
A. B. Miller, of the firm of Miller J.: Hess,
at Ciraeff's Landing, was severely injured
a few days ago by a plank falling on him.
The injuries are on the back part of the
head. Though the patient has suffered
much pain, no serious consequences are
apprehended to result from the accident.
The Reading Eagic says that a gentle
man, not a thousand miles from that city,
recently purchased what he supposed to be
a roll of butter. On slicing it, however, it
was found to be smashed pumpkin with a
covering of butter.
The Philadelphia and Baltimore Central
Railroad Company expect to be ready to

Loss Or MONEY SENT BY MAIL.-With
in a couple of months past quite a number
pf letters, directed to the Chester Valley
Bank, at Coatesville, have failed to reach
their proper destination. The matter being
brought to the attention of the Department
at Washington, an investigation was insti
tuted. The result has not led to the dis
covery of any delinquency among the post
masters ; but within a day or two past one
of the clerks of the bank has disappeared
under circumstances, which are to say the
least very decidedly suspicious. We are
in possession of full particulars, but refrain
from giving them at present.
A NEW NATIONAL BASE.—A secret Na
tional Bank was discovered in this city, a
few days ago. Upon clearing a drawer of
waste paper, in one of our stores, a mouse'
nest was discovered and among the debris
the following greenbacks were found: a
two dollar bill, three one dollar bills, fifty,
twenty-five, and ten cent notes, amounting
in all to nearly seven dollars, in rather a
mutilated condition. This amount was bor
rowed during business hours, as the money
is removed from the drawer every evening.
Does the Department at Washington know
anything about the chartering of this Bank,
if so, they should redeem the greenbacks.
A..IVIVESTED.-Wm. P. Rife was arrested
by Officer Flory. this morning, on com•
plaint of J. Kinsey Taylor, of Philadelphia,
for obtaining money under false pretences.
He had a hearing before Alderman John
M. Amweg and m default of 000 bail ;was
committ d to prison.
FIRE.—A fire occurred on Tuesday night
about 0 o'clock. in the back part of the
building, 15i0.,43 East King street, this city,
occupied by' Mrs. S. A. Gibbs as a Fancy
Store and by Samuel li. Reynolds, Esq., as
his Law Office, the building being owned
by Mr. Reynolds. The fire was first dis
covered by some persons iulthe street, and
although the firemen were soon present,
nevertheless owing to the combustible
character of some store boxes, the llamas
spread with great rapidity and the wood
work of the kitchen was almost entirely
destroyed before the fire could be subdued.
The porch adjoining the kitchen and the
room above the same were also consider
ably damaged. The kiss sustained by the
fire is about $400; which loss is covered by
ingumnce. The cause of the fire is not de
finitely known(; the kitchen had been used
as a washroom yesterday up to about 6
o'clock I'. M., but there was no tire burn
ing
in it, while so used. The fire would in
all probability have been much more seri
ous in its character hail not this portion of
the house been separated from the front
part of the building by a partition con
structed of brick. The American Fire Com
pany were first on the ground and remain
ed at the fire until it woe entirely put out,
when they were handsomely entertained
by Mr. Reynolds at Sprenger's Saloon.
The Humane also played for a short time
upon the fire, but they with the other com
panies, after all immediate danger was over
left—their services not being needed.
A SWINDLER'S ODEEATION.—The Phil
adelphia Inqulrer says that a person called
at the establishment of E. M. Bruner, on
North Seventh street, on Tuesday, and after
giving the name of R. Whiteman or Whit
more, stated that he was one of a committee
appointed to purchase an organ fora church
in Lancaster. He selected an Instrument
valued at $2OO, and directed that it be sent
to the Pennsylvania Railroad Depot. In
payment he presented a check on the Com
monwealth Bank, purporting to be signed
by I'. Cotterell, Paymaster of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad. This cheat bore a stamp
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
which gave it the appearance of being gen
uine. Subsequently a piano valued at 050
was obtained from J. E. Gould, and a sew
ing machine worth $l6O from Cowell 6:
Ewing, agents for Wilcox ,S: Gibbs, and sim
ilar checks were given In payment. The
checks were found to be bogus All the ar
ticles obtained upon them were recovered.
A LARGZ TANNERT.—TIIO following
brief description of Mr. Amos Hollinger's
Tannery, (said to be the largest in this
county) which is located on the Willow
Street pike, about 21 miles south of this
city, is furnished the Express by a corres
pondent of that paper:
The engine house of the tannery is 12 feet
by 20, two stories high, and contains un
engine of twenty borne power. There is
also a boiler-house, fire proof, which is 22
feet square, and contains two boilers, each
of wine is 30 feet long and 30 inches in
diameter. In copsequence of the engine
and the two boilqrs occupying two separate
apartments, the em is conveyed from one
to the other by means of a large caliduct or
pipe; some7o feet long. The stack connected
with the boiler-house, which serves as a
draft, is 00 feet high, and contains 20,000
bricks. The currying-shop is 75 feet by 30,
three stories high, with a large drying-loft
capable of holding 1,500 sides of leather.
The yard is 100 feet long and 75 wide, of
which 75 feet are under cover, and which is
used for the purpose of a drymg•loft and
leatner finishing department. The dimen
sions of the main bark house, are: 51 feet
long, 37 wide, and 40 feet high. The num•
her of cords of nark used a year, is about
600. There are 100 vats, most of them being
eight feet long, five feet wide and five deep.
There are from 20 to 30 workmen employed
all the year, who make exclusively oak
harness and bridle leather, and turn out
over 200 sides per week. Mr. H. is an en
ergetic business man and has established a
large and extensive trade throughout the
Middlo and Eastern States.
11ART . :i ENTERTAINMENT.—The enter
tainment given by Mr. John Hart at Fulton
Hall on Saturday evening last proved to be
a first-class one, and drew together cne of
the finest, largest and most appreciative 1
audiences which have ever assembled in
that building ; one, too, that fairly ref re
sented
the intelligence and fashion of ur
city. Mr. Hart acquitted himself admirably
and surpassed even the best ex pertations of
his friends and patrons. His rendering of
the Platform Scene from Hamlet, or the
Interview between Prince Hamlet and his
Father's Ghost, was a particularly fine effort,
clearly demonstrating that Mr. H. possesses
more than ordinary dramatic and elocution
ary ability_; the control which he had over
his voice enabled him to impersonate both
characters excellently. His versatility of
talent was also finely displayed by his reci
tation of " Hamlet's Soliloquy on Death,"
and the reading of " Hans Breidman's
Party," the latter keeping the audience in a
roar of laughter.
Mr. D. W. Bissell also acquitted himself
very well, and received a share of applausel
while Miss Katie Keller sang sweetly and
was greeted with encore upon encore. Her
best effort was the song, "Ring the Bell
Softly, there's Crape on the Door."
The City Cornet Band played several
select airs, which were heartily appreciated.
Mr. Joseph Steinhauser creditably pro
sided at the organ on this occasion.
Mr. Hart's entertainment was a decided
success in every respect, and the applause
manifested at the close of each of his recita
tions evinced the high regard and favor
entertained for him by his fellow-citi
zens, and that his efforts were fully appre
ciated as an accomplished Sbakspearean
reader.

sponsible for the following :

killed a fine bog recently in which was
found a piece of lady's hoop skirt near the

A BEAUTIFUL Boob.—We called at West
heater's store yesterday and, while look
ing over some books on his counter, noticed
a splendid edition of "La Fontaine's Fables' ,
bound in the most beautiful and sumptuous
style of the art, and forming a superb vol
ume for the holidays. The work Is trans
lated from French into English verse by
Walter Thornbury and contains in addi
tion to the fables a life of the Phry
gian, the father of fable as he is sometimes
termed by modern writers. The book is
from the publishing house of Cassell, Pet
ter 6: Galpin, London, England, and is pro
fusely illustrated with large life-like en
gravings designed by the world-renowned
artist, Gustave Dore. The volume is quite
large in size, and is characterized by such
beauty in typography, engraving, and
binding, that those who are curious to see
the progress that has, within the past few
years, been made in the way of making
books would be repaid by stopping to ex
amine this costly and magnificent work.
SHEEP KILLING.—The West Chester Jef
fcrsonian states that the dogs have been
slaughtering sheep at a great rate in
the lower end of Chester county. Not long
since twenty live sheep belonging to one
farmer were killed in a single night, and
out of his flock of sixty sheep there was
scarcely one that was not injured.
NARROW ESCAPE.—About .11 , miles be
low the Conestoga Bridge, the Mail train
from Philadelphia, due at this city at 11.15
A. M., struck and broke into pieces a car
riage in which WaS a man and a woman.
The horse attached to the carriage was in
jured but fortunately the man and woman
escaped unhurt.
SOLD.—We nndei stand that the lots lately
belonging to Landis and Brenneman, some
210 in number, situ ate near the Locomotive
Works, in this city , have been purchased
by David Hartman, in connection with
several other business men of this city, who
are now ready to sell lots on terms to suit
purchasers.
DID'NT READ THE PROCLAMATION.-A
facetious gentle man of this city was alight
ly bitten by a tog Friday last, and while
relating the fact to a number of companions
the remark was made that dogs should be
muzzled, and tbat the Mayor bad issued a
proclamation to that effect, etc. In reply
to this one of the parties naively observed
that most prob: ably "the dog had'nt read
the proclamati. an." From the number of
dogs preambu l sting the streets the suppo
sition is that I )ut few of the canines have
read It.
ITEMB.—We copy the following items of
local interest from the Oxford Press:
Wm. J. Mit i rchbank has rented hie hotel
property, at t ak Hill, to John Harbison of
Fulton town ship, Lancaster county.
An adjourned meeting of those favorable
to the conetr notion of a railroad from Peach

railroad end is to be used exclusively for
storing tobacco. It is built of brick, and
is 75 feet in length by 33 in width, and three
stories high. Tobacco is extensively culti
vated in that section of the county, and it
supposed that this building will not more
than meet the requirements of the trade.

HOW TO MEASIINE POTATOES. — It should
be generally known by housekeepers, that
a flour barrel will bold just three bushels
of potatoes, well shaken. Sixty pounds is
defined by law, as the weight of a bushel of
potatoes. A vast deal of cheating is perpe
trated in the sale of this vegetable, many
persons neglecting to observe what
measure they receive, or having no guide
by which to fix their doubts.
DUTIES OF POSTMASTERS.—MUCIItroubIe
would be saved, if postmasters were more
generally familiar with their duties. Post
masters should remember that when a
paper remains dead in the office for four
consecutive weeks, it is their duty to send
the publisher of the paper a written notice
of the fact—stating, if possible the reason
why the paper is not taken. The return
ing- to the publisher of a paper marked
' , Mot taken," "refused," or " uncalled for,"
not a legal notice. Postmasters who fail
q comply with the law in this respect are
gable for the time said papers remain dead
in their office.
IFORMS.—The letter carries, of
this city, made their appearance on Mon
day, in their new uniforms in compliance
with the order of the Department at Wash
inaton. A full description of this uniform

itor of the Reading Weekly Gazette, culled
upon us this morning. Mr. Sanderson looks
well and is evidently prospering finely in
our neighboring county of "Old Berks."
AT u Fox Chase, on Friday, near Leaman
Place, Mr. Brisbin Skiles was thrown from
his horse, and so seriously injured that his
life is despaired of.
CORRECTION.—We havo . !P been informed
on reliable authority that the report circu
later], for some time past, that Jacob D.
Warfel had his ear shot off at Intercourse,
in this county, is an entire mistake. Mr.
Warfel was not injured, nor was he within
10 miles of the place at the time the affair
was_alleged to have occurred.—lnquirer.

The Susquehanna is now spanned by a
firm bridge of ice, and sleighs are passing
born Wrightsville to Columbia and back
carrying passengers. Carts are also passing
over loaded with pig iron from the Wrights
ville furnace.
Mr. William' Rees, of this borough, has
been appointed to take charge of this end of
the Columbia bridge, to collect tolls, Lc.
John Beauter has received the appointment
at the Wrightsville end of the bridge.
On Monday afternoon a German named
John J. Hessler, went into Handler's Beer
Saloon, in this borough, to get some beer,
and while there he committed a nuisance
in the back room. Handler remonstrated
with him about it, when the defendent
drew a knife and cut Handler across the
nose and forehead. John Cramer also re•
ceived a severe cut on the hand. The de
fendent bad eight cuts on the head caused
probably by being struck with chairs, but
the witness did not known how or by
whom he was struck. He was too drunk
to tell about it. In default of- bail he was
r•firmuitted to jail to answer, by Esquire
Evan!:
Christmas in Columbia passed ott unu
sanity quiet. Work and business were
suspended generally—everyone feasted and
rejoiced. Services, appropriate to the occa
stun, were held in our churches, and the
attendance was good. During the after
noon, the " livers " accompanied by a
large concourse of citizens, with their new
steamer, passed over the bridge to Wrights
ville, for the purpose of exhibiting to the
good citizens thereof the "squirting abili
ties "of the machine. In the evening, the
usual number of fights resulting from the
free distribution of liquor came off. On
Saturday a number of young men were
seen with black eyes.

Towards the close of the Fair, the friends

tive in the contest fora handsome cane that

WRIGHTSVILLE AFFAIRS.—WS copy the
following items of local Interest from the
Star :
OD Wednesday night the ticket office of
we N. C. R. W., in this place, was entered
by burglars, who broke open the safe, using
a large Iron bar for the purpose and stole
about $2O therefrom. The thieves also car

some citizens of our town attempted to coins
across the bridge, when one of the 'official.,

but a short distance from the Columbia
share, when the ice gave way It nder Mr.
Haber. who being unable to swim, would
do abtless have drowned had it not been for
the timely assistance rendered by one of the
gentlemen accompanying him.
C ORME FOR SKA.TINCY POEOS.-A lady
correspondent of one of our exchanges
wri :es as follows respecting the costumes
appropriate for skating ponds:
" some of the costumes are exceedingly
attr tctive, Astrachan sets, jackets bouquets
and muff, are not only very handsome, but
have a look of warmth very desirable upon
such an occasion. The skirts worn with
these jackets are of cloth or of heavy veluor,
and :)oth are bordered with bands of As
trach an, Cloth suits trimmed with As
tract an, are extremely pretty, while the
gray striped petticoat seems to have found
its pr oper place.
" A very stylish suit is composed of cloth
of dark garnet, with the jacket, and two
skirts trimmed with bands orbrown fur;
the bat is bordered with fur, and the muff
of garn et cloth is trimed to correspond. The
tartan suits though not so stylish; are ex
treme': r picturesque. We understand that
velvete en suits, iu all rich colors, will be
in vogu a upon these occasions, though the
favorite costume of all will be cloth trim
' med wilt fur."

Wass the Plantation il.tt. rs were first made
}mown to the Americas people some seven
years ego. It was supposed that they • ere a•
entirely new thing, and had never before been
used. 8o far as their general use in tho
states Is concerned, this may be true. It I
also true that the same Blotters were made and
cold in the Island of Si. Thome., over fort
fears ago, se any old planter, merchant or see
captain doing business with the West India,
will tell you. It is distinctly within my rem -
teotlon that on the return of my father (who
was a sea captain, and doing an extensive
trade In the tropics) he would hive riably have
these Bitters among the ship's stores, and our
family sideboard was never without them
For any sickness, it matters not how severe en
trifling, the decanter of these Bitters, by a dif
ferent name, was always resorted to as,a sov
ereign remedy.
