We are in receipt of the June number of :The Philadelphia Photographer, a monthly _journal, devoted to the photographic inter est. It is published by Benerman Wil ,son. It is edited with taste and spirit, and is full of matter which will interest every lover of the science which it so ably advo ,eates. In the present number are several , exceedingly valuable and well written -communications. Facts and Fancies. While loyal people like some of Jeff.'s counsel as little as they like Jeff. himself, -there is a decided hope expressed that there - will be no falling out between counsel and .client, but that they will all be found hang- Ang together after the trial. 1 Instead of capturing Toronto, many of the Penians now don't know where To ran to. _Boston '.7Vser says that. The full, name of P. 0. Day, the Buffalo _.innegan Centre, is probably Peep O'Day.

A NUMBER OF FENIANS SHOT. WATERTOWN, N. Y., June s.—The Fenian train was come up with at Rechville, the first station south of De Kalb junction, by a company of United States troops, who took the arms, ammunition, and men in charge, The Fenians were unloading the arms when the troops arrived, intending to run them across the country, having received infor mation of the troops awaiting them at De Kalb. No resistance was made. This morn ing's train going north has on board a com pany of Fenians and detachments of United States .Regulars. CINCINNATI, June 5.—A large and enthu siastic Fenian meeting was held at Mozart Hall last night, anxi $3,000 was subscribed. It was stated that 300 Fenians left here last night. The drivers of - several of the street rail roads have been on a strike for the past two days. SINES & SHEAFF The British colors captured by the Fenians at the battle of Ridgeway—whieh the Cana dians call Limestone Ridge—are also on board of the Michigan. The captain of the Michigan has signified his intention of delivering up the Fenian officers on board his boat at nine A. M., when the habeas corpus is returned to Judge. Lockwood. BUFFALO, June 4.—1 have just crossed from Fort Erie. One Fenian prisoner was shot this morning. He was tried by drum head court martial. Another is to be shot to-morrow at five A. M. The Fenians of this city have left for Dunkirk. The raver nue steamer has just left for there. - A large quantity of arms stored at P. O'Day's Head Centre F. B. of Buffalo, was seized by order of General Barry, at two P. M. to-day. BUFFALO, June 5-1.15 A. M.—Five Fe nians were shot last evening in the woods back of Fort Erie. A heavy, detachment of Fenians left here at. eleven P: M., under command: of Captain Donohue. Destina tion unknown. BUFFALO , June 4-1.45 P.

MEMPEas, June 4th.—Colonel O'Neill,the Fenian commander, who made the first ad vance into Canada, was formerly of the llth Tennessee Regiment, and afterwards com manded the Galvanized regiments, com posed of men who escaped from the Ander sonville and other rebel prisons. Capture of Fenian Arms. From CineinnatL Humored Insult to a IT. S. Consul. BUFFALO, June s.—lt is said that on the arrival of the Canadian troops at Fort Erie, after the Fenian retreat, the U. S.Omani was grossly insulted, and fired upon BY a British officer, while standing in his door, with the U. S. flag waving over his house. He has demanded an apology. BUFFALO, June Nth, 1866.—[Special to the Herald.]— There is considerable difficulty in crossing to the Canadian side of the river, every person being submitted to the most rigid scrutiny. There were four thousand Canadian troops, including vol unteers, encamped on the heights behind the village of Fort Erie last night. Colonel Wolsey, a Crimean hero, came from Mon treal yesterday by special train, to take command of the Canadian forces. The 60th Rifies,l6th Infantry,Gray Horse Battery' and a loaded train of volunteers have just left for Kingston, where an at tack is reported. A number of additional troops are ex pected to leave Fort Erie this afternoon. A small garrison will remain. A very large number of Fenian prisoners have been taken by the various scouting parties. pia were arrested this morning, among them P. P. Ledwitb, of Tennessee; Thomas Bryan, of Buffalo, andJ. Brown, of Pennsylvania. Sixty-six are lodged in Brantford jail, and a number more have been sent on to Toronto. Among thoie captured were a number of iron moulders from Cincinnati, who say the strike threw them out of em ployment. In the engagement at Limestone Ridge the Thirteenth Canadian battalion was in reserve to support the Queen's Own, of To ronto. Colonel. Booker, of Hamilton, was in command. As soon as the order was given "to fokm square - to receive cavalry" the gallant Colonel ordered a retreat, and leaving his men, got himself quickly out of danger. - Canadian troops are being hurried by rail to Toronto. - A writ of habeas corpus has been served on the captain of the United Steamer Michi gan for the delivery - of the Fenian officers. The order was signed by Judge Clinton. It is expected they will be given up to-night. This order does not release the men. - General Strong visited Fort Erie to-day and addressed the British troops. The fol lowing are the names of some of the Fenian officers captured: Colonels O'Neill and 0. S. Farr,Colonel Hoye (the latter of Buffalo), Lieut. Colonels John Spaulding and Grace, and Major Moore. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 1866. Dart will arrive at Potsdam at noon to-day and will look after General Sweeny and his base of supplies. .The report that Itead Centre O'Day had been arrested on Canadian soil is untrue; but it is certain that he is not visible to the naked eye on this side. - A ridiculous rumor is published by the Post of this city that Kingston has been cap tured by theTenians. - - WA.TERTOWN, N. Y., June 4, 1866.--Gen. Meade and staff passed here this morning on his way North. Gen. Sweeny and one hundred and fifty Fenians were on the same train. The United States Marshal here seized nine boxes of arms and accoutrements on iSaturday evening's train. The United States Marshal seized two cases containing arms and ammunition while passing through this place this afternoon for the North. This evening a party of men came from Potsdam, and taking possession of a loco motive started towards Cape Vincent, in which direction the arms had . been taken for safety, as there was no force here to pro tect them. They found the. cars at Chan! mont and are momentarily expected back to pass here on their way north with them. A party of about thirty men made a raid on the store of T. D. Ely,-where the arms seized on Saturday were deposited. They took them to the depot, and will probably take them north with the others. General Meade has sent troops from Ogdensburg to intercept them. ST. ALBANS, Vt., June 4, 1866.—Another company of United States artillery from Fort Independence arrived this morning. Thirty-seven cases of Fenian arms were seized at Rouse's Point to-day. The Fenian camp at Fairfield has moved northward toward the Canada line. Colonel Gibson. Lieutenant Colonel Wil duck and Major Barston are here, in com mand of the United States forces. The Third artillery are mostly stationed at Swanton. Companies I and B arrived this evening from Portland. The regimental band are playing in St. Albans park this evening "Wearing of the Green," &c. But few Fenians are in town. They have all disappeared in some mysterious way. We shall probably hear of them in twenty four hours. . At a general council of the Fenian officers to-day, General Spear in the chair, it was unanimously decided to keep all the future operations strictly private. It is therefore difficult to obtain even a glimpse of what is purposed. But that something important will soon be done is, however, manifest. A special messenger from General Sweeny reached General Spear's headquarters to day. General. Spear's staff consist of Major James B. Lyons, chief; Captain John J. Dunn and Captain MichaelMcFadden, aids; Colonel Edmund Rice, volunteer aid. Gen eral Mahan, Colonels Scanlan, O'Connor and McNamara are out on active service to- night. The following are the names of some of the officers who command the Ferdans now mustering in this section: General Thomas W. Sweeny, formerly of the United States army, Commander-in- Chief. Brigadier General Spear, who is in imme diate and active command of all the forces. General Spear is abontilfty years of age. General John W.lktaban. formerly Major of the Massachusetta 9th regiment. He served four years in the late war. All the Massachusetts Fenians are under his com mand. Colonel O'Connor is in command of what is called the 3d regiment of the Army of Ireland. The regiment numbers aboutfour hundred men, all from Massachusetts. Lieutenant Colonel Finans, second in command of the above regiment. Colonel Murphy has charge at present of some Fe nians not yet organized. Colonel Reilly, in command of the rendezvous at Malone, Franklin county, New York, opposite Corn wall. Colonel Scanlan has command of some men who moved to-day from the en campment. General Meade is expected here to-morrow. The commander of the British volunteers - at St. Arnaud yesterday seized the horses of the United States mail for the Queen's service'. The property is owned by Ameri cans, and was in service under the inter national postal regulations. The annual parade oftthe St. Albans militia will take place to-morrow, under General J. W. Taylor. They will be armed with Minie rifles. RuTLA - ND, Vt., June 4.—The main body of the Fenian, according to the best infor mation received here, is encamped near Fairfield, a small town five miles east ofSt. Albans, while two smaller columns are posted at Swanton and Fairfax villages, a little north of St. Albans and about twelve miles from the Canadian line. There was a report in circulation here to-day that the Fenians had crossed the border in large force, and were marching toward the St. Lawrence river. The objective point of the Fenian cam paign is believed to be either Montreal or Ottawa, but the intelligence of their move ments is too meagre and obscure to render these opinions more than conjectures. There are many Irish in the places above named, and they conceal and sustain the Fenian camps so carefully that it -is hard to estimate the number of men they contain. The general opinion, however, - is that it is much larger than is usually estimated. --A number of supposed Fenimis came up on the 'trains to-day, and passed through this village. The whole number thus far which has gone to to the front via this place is about five hundred. One hundred and twenty United States' regulars, companies A and F let heavy artillery, from New London, Conn., passed through Rutland this evening on the passenger train to Bur lington, and there were many men` sup posed to be Fenians on the train with them. A small party of Fenians who arrived here to-day on the train from New York had several cases with them, supposed to con tain munitions of war. Twenty-two boxes of arms and ammuni tion belonging to the Fenians have been seized by the Untied. States Marshal at St. Albans, up to last accounts received here. A large trunk, supposed to havecontained sabres, was forcibly taken from a baggage car at St. Albans, on Saturday last. The reason for this was that the door of the car was locked when they applied for the "bag gage," and to wait for any one to find the key to open it would have pro allowed the discovery of the sabres, and their seizure. There is a report now current that two thousand Fenians will pass through this town between this time and daylight to re inforce their brethren. The railroad' company has sent a large number of empty cars down the road for some purposo to-day, which has not yet been divulged. A large body of Fenian is reported to have passed over the Vermont Central Railroad to-night. This is the same force that was expected to pass this way. MONTREAL, June 4, 1866.—A heavy rain storm has prevailed here throughout the day, and until this evening. The populttr orn Nviiox& ool7Nnt-sr. anxiety relative to the invasion of the Fa nians has been somewhat subdued, but at this writing is again at its full height. The impression is rapidly gaining ground that the end of the invasion is near at hand, and that some action of the United States government, as yet occult to the Canadian people, but in full possession of the gov ernment, has been initiated as against the Fenians. I have just received a telegram from Co lonel R. G. Stone, dated at Plattsbnrg, at seven o'clock this evening, announcing that everything is perfectly quiet on the Flensburg border and vicinity. General J. B. Stonehonse, Assistant Ad jutant General of New York, is at Platte- , burg. A meeting was held this afternoon, in pursuance of a proclamation by the Mayor, looking to the local strengthening of the public defences in the absence of the regu lars and volunteers at the Fenian front. The immediate object of the meeting was to form a home guard. The gathering was made up of thousands of the citizens, who were very enthusiastic. The Mayor pre sided and also addressed the meeting. Ad dresses were also made by the. Hon. Mr. Ryan, Hon. Darcy. McGee, Minister of the Crown; Hon. James Territ, Hon. John Rose and ex-Mayor Beaudry. Resolutions, having in view the practical perfection of the object of the meeting, were passed. A large number of Fenian spies are known to be in this city in constant communication with their leaders. The Mayor has com pelled the police to take the oath of allegi ance, which quite, a number of them refused to do, and were therefore instantly dismissed the force. It is now thought that the Feniana, if they make a grand stand, will do so at or near Cornwall, and that a collision may take place at any moment. The Canadian forces axe very strong at that point. But few additional troops left the city for the front to-day. The gunboat Royal, under command of Lieutenant Wall, the other officers being Mr. Boyea, sub-lieutenant; Mr. Baring, midshipman, and Mr. Parvis, engineer, went up the canal bound west. The Royal has a crew of thirty-seven men, besides the officers; is armed with one Armstrong twelve-pounder and a braes howitzer for ward, and a twelve-pounder Armstrong aft. She has a battery around the bows and stern cased with iron for the protection of the men working the guns, and her wheelhouse has been in the meantime protected with sand bags until the casing can be put on. The gunboats Hercules and Canada will be ready either to-morrow night or Wednesday morn ing. All the men that can be advantage ously employed are working at them. Her Majesty's steamship Rosario, Captain Vor sturme, arrived from Quebec at 11 o'clock to day.. The Rosario is a screw sloop of 11 guns, 073 tons and 150 horsepower, and hav ing a crew of 175 men. , At this writing everything is represented as being q . uiet at Malone, Cornwall and St. Johns, though it is believed the Fenian would have made an attack on the latter place on Saturday had not their arms been seized by the United States authorities. The cry of the Fenian on the border is said to be "On to Montreal." LaTna.—lt is now believed that the Fenians will not touch at ;St. Armand, but will march direct to Cornwall. The impe rative orders of the Commanding General are that the outposts must on no account fire a shot, but fall back gradually on the supports. This will prevent a repetition of the alleged blunders at Fort Erie on last Saturday. Colonel Carter, commanding the force at that point, is known to be acting in consonance with this order. Sr. ARMAND, ON THE BORDER, June 4- 12 Noon.—This village is located directly on the dividing line between Lower Canada and Vermont, and has not the advantage of a stream of water to mark the boundary. The place is filled with British volunteers. Reports are current in relation to a Fenian attack. Rumors are afloat that an attempt will be made to capture the Bank of Bedford,which is only a short distance from this place. The deposits were removed to a place of safety last night. A camp of the 25th Highlanders is located at Bt. Alexander, just back of this village. POTSDAII JUNCTION ' N. Y., Jane 4.—lt is reported here that theßeaubarnois Canal is cut by Fenians from Coteau du Lac to the St. Lawrence river. The canal is eleven miles long, This will stop immediately all navi gation in the St. Lawrence, cutting off Mon treal east and west. As far as I can ascertain, the operations of the Fenians will be as follows: Gen. Mur phy to cross at St. Regis or Cornwall with 4,500 infantry; the other column to cross at Beauharnois or at La Prairie, and cut the Lachine Canal; Major General' Spear, with a column of 3,000 men, to move forward from St. Albans via Phillipsburg, cutting the railroads at St. John's Junetion, avoid ing as much as possible the forth at Isle, and Chambley, and. St. John's, on Richelieu River: then he will probably cut the Grand Trunk at St. Trillnine and St. 'Hyacinthe. These operation s, combined with the cutting - of the Beauharnois Canal, - it is supposed by the Fenian here, will cut off Montreal east andwest from suc&r. - The force at St. Alban's moving north is commtinded by the following officers: Ma jo'r General Spear ; 'Brigadier General Mc- Mahon, Colonel Rice, of Massachusetts; Colonel Donnelly; of-Massachusetts; Colonel Conlz, of the Third Massachusetts Cavalry, Army of Ireland James Bannoh, of Con necticut; Major B. Lynn, Adjutant General on Staff. General Sweeny is at Potsdam with his staff, and will move forward to-night. The men are in in excellent spirits at Malone, and clamorous for a fight. Nine-tenths of the Fenians are veteran troops who have served in the war of the . rebellion. At Ma lone there are one hundred and fifteen men formerly belonging to. Piokett's and Long street's divisions of the Confederate army. There are also a number of . Mosby's parti sans in the Fenian camp. I will go to the front to-night. We ex pect a big fight td-morrow afternbon or night. Arms have been seized by the United States all along the route, and United States "troops are passing to the -front rapidly. Some of Sweeny's old regiment, the Six teenth United States Infantry, hilim come up in squads, completely equipped, for the purpose of taking a look at things, as they expressed themselves. Re'reinAm, June 4.—The location of the Fenian army is as follows : Centre at Ma lone, in command of General Mu_rnhy; right at St. Albans, in command of Major General Spear; left at Cape Vincent t in corn-. mand of an Illinois officer. There is every probability of a fight to-morrow at Phillips burgh, onthe Miasisquon frontier. General Meade has gone to Ogdensburg. MONTREAL, June 4.—The Seventh regi ment arrived here from Quebec at midnight. The steamship Nova Scotia, with Ave lath dred and six soldiers on board, reached Fa ther'Point early this mornings They are expected here to-morrow evening. The ship Ossario arrived from Quebec this morning, The gunboat Reyal left for Cornwall this morning. Two more are expected to fol low during the day. They are to guard the St. Lawrence at Cornwall. They are all said to be armed with Armstrong guns. The government, it is reported to me,have reliable;evidence that General Sweeny is ready in'the neighborhood of a town nearly opposite to CornwalL The men with him hope first of all to effect a lodgment at Corn wall Island so as to cut off reinforcements by water from Lower to Upper Canada. Corn Wall, it is believed, will be the main point of attack. The fight expected at St. Armand ! last evening, did not take place. The Femans did not leave their quarters at Faixfield, on the ground of want of sufficient ammunition. It is reported that the Go vernment has engaged the services of the Indians of St. Rigis and of Canyhuawaga, to act as scouts along the St. Lawrence,from Montreal to CornwalL There may therefore be a little scalping done also. The Irish.priests made very impassioned appeals to their congregations yesterday. Father Dowd is reported to have said it was a duty every man owed to the church to re sist the invaders, and if necessary, he and his brother priests would lead them to the field of battle. A public meeting was held here this after noon for the purpose of forming additional brigades of Home Guards. About three thousand were. present. The speakers, among whom was Darcy McGee, were, I am told, chiefly the leading men of the French and Irish classes. It was decided to form three more brigades of one thousand each. A great number enrolled themselves at the conclusion of the meeting. I must confess there is no appearance of a panic here; there is rather an overwhelming confidence of having a quick and decisive defeat of the in vaders. [OGDENSBURG, June 4.—Two hundred regulars have just left here, under com mand of Lieutenant Fine, of the 12th in fantry,:by order of General Meade, to seize five hundred muskets consigned to General Sweeny, at Malone. The arms are at Wa tertown. The troops formed in the main street, and were given orders to load, pre paratory to embarking for their destina tion. The regulars are sore about it, many of them belonging to the Fenian organiza tion. Trouble is anticipated, if they meet with any body of Fenians at Watertown. Laws.—lt is reported that Col. Easton, of the 14th New Jersey Fenian infantry, has seized the arms at Watertown, which were detained by order of the United States au thorities. Colonel Easton is in command of two hundred and fifty men, thoroughly armed, and it is expected that there will be a fight with the regulars sent to recapture the arms from Ogdensburg, by order of General Meade. The Canadians in town predict a speedy overthrow of the Fenians by the regulars. The greatest excitement is manifested in the town to hear the result of the expected fight. It is reported that the Western Union and Montreal line of telegraph has been cut by the Fenians,some miles from here; the wires have ceased to work; • WATERTOWN, . DBB 4.—The United States Marshal seized two cars containing arms and ammunition white passing through this place this afternoon for the north. This evening a party of men came from Pots dam and taking possession of a locomo tive started toward Cape Vincent, in which direction the arms had been taken for safety, as there was no force here to protect them. They found the cars at Chaumont, and are momentarily,expected back to pass here on their way north with them. A party of about thirty men made a raid on the store of T. D. Ely, where the arms seized on Saturday were deposited. They took them to the depot, and will probably take them north with the others. General Meade has sent troops from Ogdensburg to intercept them.. GERMANY IN MINIATURE.—The scene in Castle Garden, the receptacle for newly ar rived emigrants in this country, as wit nessed from the office windows of the com missioners, opening on the rotunda, is worth a careful study. Below are personi fled some of the most interesting sections of Europe, particularly those embraced in the rural districts of Germany, and an in spection can be had any day without the expense and hazards of a trans-Atlantic voyage. Only the natural scenery Is want ing to perfect the picture. But the patois can be heard, and the manners, customs and costumes can be observed. The latter suggestion may be useful to connoisseurs in the art. The specimens of female attire, in cluding dresses and head-gear, are, in many cases,exceedingly odd,and may be supposed to approach very nearly to that worn by many of the:first settlers in New Amsterdam. The prevailing style for skirts is that now most approved by modern reformers of the Bloomer school, being specially favora ble to locomotion in any kind of weather, and the weight being mostly suspended from the shoulders, is believed to be con ducive to a robust development. Moreover, the system of artificial expansion is done away with, thereby marvelously - reducing the bulk: Young Germany in also fully represented. The observer may be edified by hearing infants prattle precisely as in the father-land, and by witnessing the pro cesses of domestic discipline, the arts of cookery, the manner of social intercourse, alljmuch the same as if admitted to the sanctity of. the housefiold circle, it might be in the mountainous recesses of theTyrol, or on the banks of the "castellated Rhine." When all the entertainment and instruc tion thus afforded can be had only by rid ing to the Battery, why should ambitious tourists waste time, money and strength by going across the ocean, and perhaps seeing no more than is gained by a glance along the common routes of travel?—N. Y. Jour nal of Commerce. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT IN FRANCE.- A point of law relating to imprisonment for debt, ofeome consequence to foreigners,and not generally known, has been settled by the Civil Tribunal of the Seine. A short time since M. Schnyllmatm, a merchant re siding in Paris, arrested a Bavarian on the ground that he was about to leave the coun try without paying his debts. The latter (imputed the legality of the arrest, on the plea that his creditor is a Bavarian, and therefore not entitled to avail himself of the privilege conferred on creditors by the law of 1832. The defendant commenced pro ceedings—first, to set aside the arrest as il legal; and, secondly, to recover damages for illegal arrest, for which he claimed 20,000 f. The creditor, however, pleaded that he had been authorized by an imperial decree to establish his domicil in. France, and that consequently be enjoyed all the civil rights of a French citizen. The court adopted this view of the case, confirmed the arrest and condemned the prisoner in costa. F. Z. FETHERSTON. Publista DOUBLE SHEET, THREE CENTS fPor the Evening Eniletin.l Death of a Remarkable Man. The following notice in the Newburyport Herald, records the death, on the 18th nit., of Thomas B. Leighton, one of the most re markable men we ever met : A cotemporary and friend of John Went- . worth, now a member of Congress and of John P. Hale, lately of the 11. S. Senate, he was less fortunate in political life, and becoming disappointed with' it, he exiled himself to Apple dore,the largest of a curious volcanic group of islands sometimes called Smith's Islands, after the discoverer, Captain Smith, of Pocahontas memory; but more commonly known as the Isles of Shoats,and which lie about twelve miles from Ports mouth, N. H. Here he built &small house, first takings few friends under his roof. Owing to the general coolness and eveness of the tem perature, the place became popular as: a resort for invalids, especially those in the earlier stages of pulmonary complaints, many of whom returned permanently cured. Additions were from tune to time made to the original dwelling, until the es tablishment was sufficient to accommodate 150 guests. Mr. Leighton had no small share of medical knowledge, and nothing seemed to afford him more pleasure than the renewed health of his visitors, to whom he always spoke with encouragement, pre-; dieting, with general correctness, a speedy restoration in cases were disease had not laid too heavy a hand. His leisure was devoted •to systematic reading, and he grew familiar with the sciences, particularly with astronomy, possessing much depth of information upon general topics, which, with his admirable conversational powers, retentive memory, shrewdness of observation, and no small share of wit, made him an instructive and. agreeable companion. Mr. Leighton's health began to permanently fail about three years ago, when he built a dwelling to which he removed, and re signed the establishment to his two sons. The Herald's notice is as follows: Hon. Thomas B. Leighton, of the Apple dore House, Smith's Islands, died at his residence on Friday last, aged 61 years. He was a native of Portsmouth, and when young was in poor health, but improved his time In mental culture. The Chronicle saysc "He was editor of the N. H. Gazette in the year 1835; was Postmaster of Portsmouth; was a member of the New Hampshire Senate; and finally went out to 'the Shoals,' as keeper of the Light House on a lone island. There he found his favorite climate, and purchasing real estate on the largest island of the group, he made to himself a local habitation and a name, as builder, owner and landlord of the Appledore House, which he annually enlarged or improved, and where he spent his remaining days, and. where, according to his own expressed will, he lies, buried between the granite rocks, on one of which the initials of his name are to be all the sculptured memorial he de sired. "His success in all these varied pursuits was answerable to the energy, determina tion, and skill with which he applied him self to whatever he undertook. His views politics, religion and society were peculiar: In the Jacksonian era he was one of the most earnest, efficient andskillful operators who created and managed the "democratic party"—and he was one of the ablest and liveliest editors the Neil) Hampshire Gazette ever had. In the Post Office he did his duty promptly, and helped his party. Going out to Appledore, he eschewed party politics entirely, and never seemed to take interest in them afterward. He did not attach him self to any religious sect or people, and de sired to have no ministerial or religions rites at his funeral. In conversation he was often very interesting, and apparently en joyed it as well as any one. Yet he chose to live away from the usual haunts of society, and for a long series of years he has visited the main land only once or twice. • With poor youthful prospects of life, he lived to three-score,—and with a crippled frame he has done more work that is commonly per formed by two able-bodied men." BATS.—Some old fellow in New York who bad nothing better to do took to count ing the different styles of ladies' hats that appear on Broadwayand reported the num ber of varieties at one hundred and twenty five. If some other patient fellow would undertake the job of counting the different styles to be seen in the streets of Lancaster we think he would exceed the New York count considerably, In a half hour's observation, an evening or two since, on one of our principal streets, we saw proba bly fifty hats, not any two of which were alike. Some were all crown and no rim, others all rim and no crown, and others again which were neither, rim nor crown, but resembled a good-sized pan-cake, All these were tortured and twisted into - every imaginable shape to suit the fancy of the wearer. So far as hats are concerned fashion is ignored this year, or rather every lady who wears a hat has a fashion of her own. , We are sorry that in many cases this freedom of taste does not lead the ladies 'to adopts sensible head gear. The pan-cake style is not only unbecoming, but for the pnrpcse of protection to the head it is sim ply useless, and a lady might just its well go it bare-headed as to wear one of them. The old flats and shakers are the most be coming and most useful. Some of our younger lady readers may think this is an old fogy view. Perhaps it is. But then old fogy 'news are often the moat senSible.— Lancaster Ezpress. ANOTHER. EXPEIMNT IN A EnIA. - NA VIGATION.—The ascension of a balloon-ship called the Esperance. was to have taken place at the Hotel des Invalides Paris, on the 10th - ultimo, but great difficulty was ex perienced by the inventor, M. Delacnarne, in adjusting the screws, helm, sails, &c. The Emperor, who happened to be ,driving out and saw the crowd, went to the spot to inspect the apparatus, and conversed some time with the inventor, but at last, not per ceiving any great probability of an ascen sion, took his departure. The crowd then became impatient and broke through the barriers. At a quarter-past seven the car was attached, and the whole ascended some few yards from the ground and moved inthe direction of the Invalides; but the balloon, being either damaged by the machinery or overweighted, burst and fell heavily to the ground.
