A ghost through his chamber-door entered!

As you shall all know by tho facts I shall show'
In what I shall truthfully mention.
The ghost didn't onro for the oaohelor there;
It vent and stood calmly beside him,
As lift woe one, who, for deeds he had done,
H sal made him a, lad to chide turn.
The about bent its head. and in whispers it said :
• Wake up you old, gray-I:Wed miser!
For you of yourself and your ill-gotten pelf
Must talk without any adviser."
"Oft!Lord !" end" oh! dear !" said the miser in
fear—
Oh! don't take my life. do not kill ine !

SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1860,
Edittltal iVanderlngs—Downtugtown.
Mr *FORNEY : Misery, it is said, gives
a man Strange bed-fellows, at times. On the
other hand, Lecturing certainly leads to many
very interesting and agreeable and hospitable
acquaintanceship; as I have found within
the past twelve months. It also shows a man
places which he scarcely knew before, save
by vague report, and gives him familiar know
ledge of different phases of society and of
race. I have several of these places to glance
at, and shall commence at Downingtown,
which is almost at our own door—thanks to
that vvondrous Institution, the Pennaylvania
Central Railroad.
There is' a very bad system in this country,
which betokens poverty of imagination, of
giving the fame name to various places. Thus,
scattered over this Union are towns, hamlets,
and townships called NEWTON to the number
of hetitreight. Thus, while there is ono
DOVER in England, (the principal of the
Cinq Ports; whereof Wellington was Lord
Warden,) there are thirty-five foyers in the
United States. Nay ; there are as many as
one iuntiqd and twenty.eight places bearing
the name of JACKRON, and over, one hundred
and fifty places called WARRINGTON. Tim
wonder is, not that letters addressed to such
places sometimes aro missent—one for Maine
going 'South to Georgia—but that so few mis
takes of this sort arc made.
The pleasant, borough of Downingtown In
Chester county, Ps., is especially fortunate in
having no namesake lu the United States.
Downingtown, in East Cain Township, Ches
ter county, was first it set Doi" about 170(1, but
the ploneers-r-who chiefly hailed from Birming-
ham, in England—had received a grant of the
land some eighteen years earlier. One
Thomas Downing, purchaser of part of the land,
built a mill upon it, between 1730 and 1710,
to take advantage of the water power, a branch
of the Brandywine passing through tho bo
rough. Doman, like every other "Jolly
miller," wanted a house to live In, and built
one. This was the nucleus of a village,
which was first called Milltown. At present
there aro three Milltown° in this very State,
so tha there might have been n fourth. In
me, however, the place took the name of
its taro founder, and has been called Downing
town from a period long past the memory of
that remarkable Individual gc the oldest In•
habitant."
Proximately, water has led to tho founds-
tion of this town. The Brandywine creek
which flows bore passes southward to the scene
of the battle at Chadd's Ford, fifteen miles
distant, between Washington and Lord Corn
wallis, in 1741. There Is also the Beaver
creek, sl conraniently contageous," as Paddy
might say. Downingtown thus has a very
great water-power--only a portion of which Is
now applied. We have seldom seen any place
with so many natural facilities for manufactu
ring, by water-power. Of course, it could also
accommodate the more certain, but more ex
pensive motive-power of steam.
Through the borough, which is over a mile
In length, rams the Philadelphia and Lancaster
turnpike. The houses are solidly built, and
on the old system of Isolation, each In its cul
tivated lot of ground. In the centre of bust.
ness the houses close up together, in a
tOwnward manner, but the borough has a pe
-4
culierly rum air, ritb its abundance of timber,
and its w 'Orlinft4teva.- -Many of the de
scendable of e first settlers still hold the here
ditary property. The place has a wholesome,
old-fashioned, substantial appearance, and
though It is an Important station on the Penn
sylvania Railroad, it seems to have preserved a
eort of primitive simplicity. If the inhabi
a.nts, Industrious and thrifty, do not enjoy the
so-called luxuries of giot citfes, on the other
,hand . they eschew theNeductive vices.
The situation of Downingtown, in Chester
Valley, which surely deserves to be called
'the Golden Yale of Pennsylvania—because
its luxuriant fertility is proverbial—made It, at
drat, the most suitable place for Thomas
Downing to put up his mill there, a hundred
Vad twenky years ago. The cereal fruits of
the earth, which that vicinity so abundantly
produces, required mechanical application to
.convert them Into food, hence the necessity
for the mill. Next, of course, would arise an
humble hostetrio to receive, and shelter, and
give refreshment to the farmers and their men
who drove in the heavily-laden wains of grain.
Where there were horses, it would be neces
sary to have stables. Without doubt, too,
occupation for a blacksmith next arose. Then,
a store or two; forDowningtown, now separated
from Philadelphia, by the Pennsylvania Cen
tral Railroad, by only some seventy-live
minutes of time (excuse the apparent blun
der), was then separated from the city by
a road more than thirty-three miles in length,
with its traditionary slow travel. Here were
lialfa dozen houses, the inmates of which would
require shelter and clothing. A carpenter
was certain to meet the demand, and with him
a mason or two. A tailor would be kept oc
cupied in making and. mending. The dress
maker would 1/3 a much later institution, be
cause, a center? ago, the fair sex, in villages,
were not above making their own gowns. A
schriohnaster would be heeded to teach the
young folks, and instead of the itinerant
preacher, there wculd be the regularly placed
minister, in fulness of time. So do villages
-arise—and thus, tradition records, arose DOllll
ingtown.
This borough now COMMUR a population of
about 700 persons, with an area of upwards of
700 acres of land. An impetus has been given
to the locality by its incorporation. The en
terprise of• its cozens is aroused to the im
portance and advantages of erecting manufac
tories and furnaces. Building lots hove been
sold, and a number offered for salt) with a
prospect of havitg nuniereus lino houses built
in tho coming season. In addition to tho Alan
tages it now possesses in regard to railroad fa
cilities and public roads, $70,000 has been
'imbscribed to contract the Brandywine Rail
road, styled the Downingtown and Waynesburg
Railroad, and an additional subscription of
only about $20,000 is required to complete it.
The situation o'. Downingtown. Its distance
from Philadelphia and Lancaster is nearly
equal, ,with railnad communication to each
place. It is saves miles distant from West
Chester. As we lave already intimated, it is
favorably placed near the ceptro of Chester
Valley, the garden of the State. It 14 in a
great agricultural and pasturage diatrict—ita
grain, Block, and fairy produce obtaining the
highest prices In the Philadelphia markets.
Who has not hoard of Chester county butter
and beef I Tim Valley extends, from east to
west, some twenty miles, and averages two
miles in width. Its farms are models of pros
perity, fertility, and high cultivation.
.In duo time, it Is probable that Downing
town will have extensive iron works, for the
district contains abundance of iron ore, yield
leg ninety per cent, which, with limestone also
abounding there, can readily be converted
Into pig-iron. The railway facilities for pro
curing
coal and transporting the mihnufactured
metal arc very great. We may live to ace
Downingtwn one day rivalling Lebanon or
Pluenixville in the production of metallic
iron. Enterprise, which is the very lifo and
soul of success, must invade the hitherto he
reditary placidity of Downingtown. It may bo
greatly improved, extended, and enriched by
aid of Cailtal, which, it seems, only wants a
proper eplere for its employment.
There is no lack of intellectual capacity or
quickness it the minds of the inhabitants.
Education s particularly well attended to, and
ono of thobest female schools in the country
is here—tn institution which, like Mrs. Wil
lard's esablishment at Troy, has long flour
ished, to tie great advantage of parents and
children. There are several churches and
meeting-louses, of various denominations.
The Rev. lashings Weld, (a well-known popu
lar writer, via is now Incumbent of the 1:11s.
copal Church, at Moorestown, New Jersey,
where he Is deservedly respected and beloved,)
was Episcopal Minister in Downingtown for
several years. Downingtown also has a well
organized Literary Association, which, among
other means of obtaining information, has a
series of Lectures throughout the winter. It
was in the capacity of a Lecturer, before that
Society, that the writer made that particular
acquaintance with Downingtown which has
enabled him—imperfectly enough; no doubt—
thus to convey an impression of a place which
greatly pleased him.
The majority of the inhabitants •f this vici
nity are engaged In agricultural pursuits. I
availed myself of the hospitality of Mr. Robert
Peterson, who resides a couple of miles out of
the town, on an elevation called Mount Ara
rat—a name said to have bees given to It be
cause Mr. Dove Downing was the original pos
sessor, and as the dove first alighted on Mount
Ararat, the name was humorously bestowed in
reference to his Christian name. Even now
there is a dove within that cote—and a very
pretty one too. Mr. Peterson is a young ar
mor, but seem■ to know what to do with his
laud. It is In good ehltivatior, and his grain
and stock may be equally reported on. There
aro many other fine farms in this vicinity, au
inspection of which would deeply gratify all
interested In agricultural pursuits.
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION, OF DB
TROIT.—OnSunday evening last the first anniver
sary of the Young Men's Christian Union of De
troit, was hold in that city, the exercises
being opened by the Rev. Dr. Duffield,
formerly of this city. An abstract of the annual
report was read by the President of the Union,
George S. Frost, Esq., and several addresses were
made by ministers and others. From the report
as read by the President, and published in the
Detroit Free Press of the 24th Inst., wo learn that
none who desire to do so] are excluded from uniting
with this association, the only qualification for
membership being, the recognition of their plat
form, winch, as incorporated in the report, is com
mendable for Its liberal and catholio spirit. Their
meeting!, which wore at first held in a Baptist,
aro now held regularly in the Congregational
Church on Fort street. Connected with this as
sociation, a Sunday-School Teacher's Union has
been organised. embracing all that are engaged in
that important work throughout s tbe city. One even
ing In each month is specially devoted to the inte
rests of tho latter body. Tract distribution appears
to have been a prominentyeature in the year's opera
tions. The number of pages thus distributed during
the year, at a cost of $175, amounted to 188,893. A
Bible-class has also been organised—which Is pre
sided over by a member of the Union—among the
inmates of the United States Marine Hospital. At
the request of the latter a weekly prayer-meeting
has also been commenced for their special benefit.
The missionary labors In the eounty jail, as given
In the report, are interesting and worthy the emu
lation of similar societies. The sheriff and keeper
have borne testimony to the salutary efreets of the
Scripture reading and teaching upon the prison.
ere, who are said to evince, in many cases, a
marked and very desirable change In their con
duct. The Orphan Asylum has also been made a
field of Sunday-school labors. Fincinesaly, the
state of the Union is eat down In the report as fol.
lows: Expenses for the year, a little upwards o r
$2OO ; balance in the treasury $4. The oolleo.
tion taken at the anniversary exerolee amounted
to $ll5. The Union as yet nowhere lees than one
hundred members.
PENNSTLYANIA SEAMEN'S FRIEND SOCIETY
This Seelety commenced its operations about four
teen years ago. The objeot for which it was es
tablished wag the temporal and spiritual interests
of the sons of the ocean. The Savor', Home, in
South Front street, institutei by it, besides being
furnished with accommodations for the physical
comfort of about a hundred boarders, is provided
with a good library fee their use. 111214 some tan
timusaud mariners have already shared its prirt
loges. The influences exerted through this imam
mentality have been of the most gratifying eha
rooter. Hundreds of seafaring men have been
thereby rescued from the pernicious associations
which too often ensnare them, and their earnings
saved from the jaws of land sharks. We under
stand that ac multi as ton thousand dollars of their
money has been at ono time deposited In the hands
of the superintendent for safe keeping. To enlarge
still more the sphere of usefulness of this noble
charity, the managers are now making their an
nual appeal in our various churches, and we hope
the plea thus made in behalf of the sailor will
meet with a liberal response.
Tea ATLANTIC MONTHLY TuttaATasjD.—Tho
Boston Pilot of this date (in which, by the way,
we Endow sketch of the late Dr. James Ryder,
conveyed, editorial remarks and all, without a
word of aoknowledgment,) in an article entitled
Catholic Elements in Protestant Literature,"
treats its readers to a prose rendering of a piece of
poetry which appeared In the January number of
the Atlantic Montily, under the caption of
Through the Fields to St. Peter's." The writer
estimates the poetic qualities of the author of the
lines in question, by saying that the heading tits
the Piece just as much as the title of poet would the
writer of It." The lines are complained of as being
extremely offensive to Catholics, and the Pilot
concludes its homily to the publishers of the At
lantic with this remark : " If we are again insulted
by snob literary productions as "Through the
I Fields to St. Peter's,' or 'Reba dl Roma,' we may
have some further remarks to make which might
not prove very pleasant."
CATHOLICISM IN PHILADELPHIA AND VICINITT.
—There are now twenty-eight Catholic churches
within our city limits. The sparse which included
the [swish of St. John's Church fifteen years ago
is now occupied by no less than nine different
Roman churches. Within the present year ono or
two more are expected to be added to the number.
At Norristown the corner-atone of St. Patrick's
Church wax laid during the past year ; the
Church of the Assumption was consecrated ; a new
chapel was erected in Camden, N. J.; the semi
nary of St. Charles Darromeo is said to hove
prospered beyond till former years ; the cathedral
of Sta. Peter and Paul has greatly progressed
towards completion, and the first cross has been
placed upon its summit. Tho present Whistle
population of Philadelphia Is estimated at 130,000
BASSOSI•STREHT BAPTIST CIII7RCEL—Tho con
gregation worshipping in this edifice hare, by offi
cial action, decided to leave their present location,
and build a house of worship in the northwest part
of the city. Their present edifice, from having
long bean the place of meeting of thu Young Men's
Christian Association, and the site of the great
noonday prayer meetings, whioh still continue to
bo largely attended, hoe become popularly known
throughout the Union. Its abandonment to secu
lar purposes will doubtless be a source of sincere
regret to many of our citizens. The present pastor
of thia church, the Rev. Merriwether Winston, we
understand, has, through his fidelity to their inte
rests, become greatly endeared to the member, of
his flock.
CIGAIIS 110R3 EXPPINIMI THAN BRHAD.—Rev.
Dr. Hawes, of Hartford, Conn., recently preaehell
a etroug sermon against the use of tobacco. Ile
exhibited fasts and statistics showing its destruc
tion of health and sanity, its demoralizing bun.
enee, and Its useless expense. It costs the people
of the United Steles over forty million dollars an
nually—far more than is spent for all purposes of
education. New York city uses up daily $lO,OOO
In cigars and $8,500 in breed. He predicted that
the valley of the Connecticut would be blasted by
it and become as barren as the old tobacco fields of
