The propelling wheels must be larger to obtain more
speed, (our's averaging the rate of one horse) and
instead of working reverse ways, our experience tea

for the propelling power; and, then, floating pieces
of wood will be thrown out as soon as'it is put in
motion. The enterprise will not ho abandoned ;
but being poor. I am net able. at present, to make
all the alterations necessary ; and as the navigation

TasTug.—We are positively asspred by
the manager that on Monday evening next the-thea
tre closes. That evening has been set apart for a
tomphioentary benefit to Mrs. Powell, a pretty and
'talented actress and vmost deserving woman. The
entertainments provided (or the occasion are of a no
vel rinu highly attractive character, and cannot fail to
draw the largest and most fishionahle house of the
season. The afterpiece is a new. farce, abounding in
good points and laughable situations. The hero of
the piece, Tom Moore—the ••Trish Lion"--will be
personated by our townsman, Mr. Lafevre. The
part was evidently intended by the author for Mr.
Lafevre, or Mr. Lafevre was intended for the part, for
it possesses all that,tich, broad humor, so peculia-ly
characteristic of that gentlemen. In the play, a
young gentleman of Pottsville will sustain the ardu
ous character of Damon.
“HOLLT EVE."—Paying dearly for a FroVc.—
A very• serious nffair occurred at Washington on
the evening of the last day of October. A party of
young individuals deter,' hied to amuse themselves
by a frolic of stealing cabbages, and accordingly yen.
lured upon the premises of a gardener near the city,
who expecting something of the kind on i.Holly
Eve,” lay in wait for the aggressors, fired a gun.
which severely wounded one of the persons engaged
in the spot. Finding the individual severely woun
ded, the party retired to n dwelling adjacent, wheel.
strange to tell, nn examination disclosed the fact that

by way of interlude. The railroad will he completed
in a few weeks; and if the company cannot trans
port coal over it, they ran passengers, and live stock,

Cattaz IN 10ENV ORILKAN4.—John Milligan was

MOST DREADFUL.—A late foreign paper says—
•"At Salem. United States, a house took fire the other

the conflagration, in consequence of the whole of it
being required for the teetotallers, who were then
