A correspondent of the Evening Bulletin,
thus describes the recent launch of a barge,
at Schuylkill IlaveD :
SCHUYLKILL HAVEN, Oct. 31st, 1860.—A
beautiful barge was launched a few days ago
at Schuylkill Haven of which Captain Mar
tin Wagner is commander and owner. She
has at present her first cargo on board, con
signed to the city of Troy, New York. She
is a capital craft, built by Wm. Saylor; she
carries well, is a floe vessel, and is perfectly
adapted to shipping of merchandise of every
description. She has been peculiarly favored
and honored with the name of our present es
teemed incumbent elect, Governor A- G■ Cur
tin, given her by Thomas Zußch, Esq., the
worthy Collector of this port, ner beautiful
fancy name, which appears well executed,
and looks very imposing, was designed and
"lettered by Jobn 11. Guertler, Esq., an aged
gentleman of this place, one of the Curtin
Fencibles of Schuylkill Haven, and a person
who displayed a very warm aDd decided in
terest in behalf of, and for the election of
Col, Curtin. lie is much distinguished for
bringing out novel and fancy designs in
which he generally displays fine taste. With
pen and ink, ytry few can excel Mr. Guert
ler, through city, town, or country.
The name of this pretty barge is over
arched, with thirteen stars, in lieu of the
original thirteen States, and among which.
the central star measures double the size of
the others, meaning to represent the Key
stone of the lederai arch, Pennsylvania, an 1
is placed immediately over the name Curtin,
who thus appears surrounded with a halo
and galaxy of Stars of the old American Uni-
on. The letters are five inches iD height,
width in proportion. The whole looks in ev"
tiy re.*pcct perfect, and pleases the behold
er.
VICISSITUDES OF ROVE AND HER POPES.—
The Papacy is not so Dear its end as many
hope and expect. It has survived many a
tug as hard as the present. In 1527 the
combined German and Spanish armies of
Charles V. stormed and sacked Rome, enact
ing in its ttreets the most diabolical cruel
ties, burning, torturiDg, robbing, ravishing,
and destroying for ten days. Some 6,000 of
the inhabitants perished, 10,000 000 crowos
of plunder were collected, and Pope Clem
ent VII. paid 400,000 ducats for his own
ransom. Luther thought that the eDd of
Home bed come. But it has survived and
recovered, Sixty years ago it was in the
hands of Napoleon, who Beemed to hesitate
whether to crush it or not. In 1820,- 1831,
and ll|4B, it was a prey to revolution, Gari
baldi himself, at the last date, expelling the
Pope, who escaped in the disguise of a foot
man on u coach box. A Republican govern
ment was then established, but another year
6aw him back again, and now he looks for
support from the despotisms which would
themselves tremble at his fall. His tempos
ral dominion may be even now at an end
but that dominion is really his weakness, and
not his strength ; and when he is well rid of
it be will re;gn as head of the Roman Cath
olics with more substantial influence than
for a long time past.— English Paper.
Accidents to Royalty in Europe.
Queen Victoria and her court, whiie trav
eling lately on a German railroad, bad a
narrow escape from destruction by a colli
sion. Prince Albert came near losing his
liTe by jumping from a carriage when tbe
bor.-os were running off. The other day the
Queen of Spain was shot at by ODe of her sub
jects, and escaped through the pistol missing
- tic. About the same time, the Count ot
Paris, tbe Orleans pretensions to the
Wrench Crown, had a leg broken while hunt
ing near Clarcraont, England. Francis 11.
King of Naples, fell from his throne the other
day aLd lust bis crown. What next ?
£tsj"' There are some curious facts in the
eeutus of Ohio. One of tbem is that the en
tire section once called the wheat region,
from Sieubenville to Tiffin, has declined in
population. The great staple of that section,
wheat, for several yearg almost failed entire
ly. Of course agriculture was less profitable
and the emigration to the West was probably
greator-

roasted in Philadelphia last Saturday, at a
barbedue held in honor of the success of the
"Ptople" at tbe recent State election.

Two BODIES FOUND HANGING IN THE
WOODS. —On Sunday morning last a rumor
was 6irculated about the neighborhoed west
of Belliar, that two dead bodies had been
found suspended by the neck in the woods.
Several persons repaired to the spot, and,
sure enough, there hung the stark bodies,
dangling between heaven and earth. The
bodies were identified as those of one "Tows
er" and " Jack," who were known to have
committed sundry depredations in the neigh
Lorhood. It is supposed that they were de
tected in the act of killing stieep—as their
mouths were bloody—and that they were ex
ecuted by the owners of sheep in the vicini
ty, after an informal trial, — Wheeling Intel'

Thanksgiving 1 Day in Pennsylvania.
PENNSYLVANIA, BS:
In the na<e and by the authority of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, WILLIAM
! F PACKER, Governor of the sa*d Comuicn
wealth ;
A PROCLAMATION.
FELLOW CITIZENS :—The revolutions of the
year have again breught us to our annual
i festival of Thanksgiving to Almighty God.
I In no preceding year have we had more
abundant cause for gratitude and praise.—
The revolving seasons have brought with
them health and plenty. The summer fruits
j and the autumn harvests have been gather
-1 ed and garnered in unwonted exuberance. A
healthful activity has pervaded all the de
■ partments of life; and provident industry has
! met with a generous reward The increase
of material wealth has been liberally em
ployed in sustaining our Educational and
j Religious Institutions ; and both are making
| the most gratifying progress in enlightening
, ! and purifying tho public mind. White, in
I Europe, central and absolute governments,
' by their pressure on personal rights and lib
erty, are producing pxcitements, which
f I threat n to upheave the very foundations of
| societv, and have led, in some instances, to
i bloody and cruel wars, we, in the enjoyment
[ ! of constitutional liberty, and under the pro-
I tection of jast and equal laws, are peacelul
-1 ly pursuing the avocations ot life, and enga *
' g'ng in whatever promises to advance ourso
! cial and individual improvement and bappi
! nes6. ''The lines are," indeed, "fallen to us
. i in pleasant places, and we have a goodly
i heritage." In all this we see the ordering*
of a kind and merciful Providence, which
ca'ls not only for our recognition, but for our
public Thanksgiving ard Praise.
Under this conviction, I, WILLIAM F.
1 PACKER Governor ot the Commonwealth
" | of Pennsylvania, do hereby appoint
Thursday, the Twenty-ninth day ofNo
yember next,
To be observed as a Jay ot public Thauksgiv
-1 ing and Prayer, and recommend to all our
' people, teat setting aside, on that day, all
wordly pursuits, they assemble iu their re
-1 spective places of worship, and unite in nffer
| ing Thanks to God for his manifold good-
I ness, and imploring his forgiveness aud the
' continuance of his mercies.

Board'bills and Coffe*.
BY THE BAR D OF TFOWER HALL.
A Mrs. Murphy, boardeiskept—
A half a dozen dandies—
Who paid no board, but s pent their dimes
For whiskey, wine, and brandies.
Bhe thus soliloquized : "I am
A Murphy, not a Morphy;
And as I cannot play at chess,
I'll play a game of coffee 1 "
So she upon her table placed
Her fare, and, looking slyly,
) She he boarders much enraged
To see her coffee " riley."
One dandy, picking up his knife,
1 As if with purpose bloody.
I Said, " Mrs. Murphy, do you think
I'll drink this coffee, muddy !"
She answer'd : "While upon my books,
You are for board a debtor,
You must that kind of coffee driek,
For I shall make no better.
You call my "offee, 'muddy stuff'—
Your wrath no wist restraining—
| But in your cup there would not be
The <jrounds lor such complaining.
i If I, by your neglect to pay.
Had not been sor. ly nettled;
And till you nettle bills for board;
Your coffee wun't be settled !"
This proved a ''settler" for the hoys,
And they resolved instanter :
• | " We will the coffee pot exalt
, ! Above the vile decanter.
" 'Tis coffee versus brandy now,
And we will show OUT metal ;
1 j We'll settle Mrs. Murphy's bills,
Aud she'll our coffee settle !
■ i.
Then clid in clothes 'REM TOWER HALL,
As 1 y the Bard directed,
We shall, for ooaracter and dress,
Be honored and respected."
1 ! NOTI
One and all, to Tower Hail, at once should go ;
i i at prices low, yo there can buy what suits the
eye, and what is strong, to last yotj long. These
are the time to save your dimes : you can't save
all at Y'ower Hall; but may a part, and. blessyour
heart! why shouldn't you. your duty do ? You'
will, I know, you'll quickly go, and buy a suit j
I which, past dispute, you'll cheaply buy, and that]
is why the Bard invites, when'er he writes, his j
j readers all to Tower Hafl.
