It. Z°iua observed on whatever day of the week the dl These Christians were oalied duartodeelmsns, be thcv observed Eaßteron the fourteenth day af f«rthc appearance of the moon. Other churches, those nr the West especially, kept Easter upon the Sab- Eath following the Jewish Passover. These latter Pleaded apostolic tradition, while the Asiatic church* es pleaded the practice of the Apostles themselves. A controversy between the Eastern and Western churches thuß arose, about the middle of the second century of the Christian era, to speak with Anice ttis. At length, toward the beginning of the third century, Victor, Bishop of Rome, decided the matter . in favor of the Western churches. The Eastern churcheSj however* refusing to come to terms, Victor broke off communion with them, and was rebuked for so doing by St. Fraeneus, of Lyons. At length, mutual concessions were made. Constantine brought the matter beiore the Council of Nice, in the early part of the fourth century. A rule was then made to the effect that Easter Bay should always be ob served on the first Sunday after the full moon, which happens on or next after March tvveuty-flrst. If the fuU moon occurs on Sunday, Easter Day is on that Sunday. It may thus occur as eariy as the twenty second of March, and as late as the fcwenty.fitth.of Anri I • , The festival of Eaater has been oalled the 'Queen of Festivals, in alluaion, probably, to the numerous variety of observances peculiar to it. The word Eaater, or German Oslem, ia variously derived. Some attribute it to the feast of the Teutonfo god- - desß Cetera, who wae the goddess of Spring,This feast was celebrated by the Saxons in-their own culiar manner: but the eariy Christian missionaries*! observed their own festival in its place. Both Easter and Ostern, however, can be traced toaster andorten, which signify rlsiog. ' In times when the festival was more religiously, or at least, more severely>obaerved than at present, people meeting would affectionately greet each other. One would say, Christ is risen.”- To which the other wotdd respond, “ Christ hath risen, indeed, and hath appeared to Simon,” Such an observance prevailed among the Russians; The bearded, frost bitten Hercules used to kiss each other, exchanged, whilsttbey hugged, eggsdyed red in Brazilwood, and drank health to each other in deep draughts of brandy. The Greek. Church until recently still re tained this custom. The English used to give, and still give, colored eggs, called or paste, eggs, and most elaborate ly decorated. Upon a royal roll of the time of Ed ward 1,, and preserved Tower, there is an item of some eighteen pence charged for four hun dred eggs. A good game of ball was likewise played, or was said to be played, by the right reverends of the municipal corporations, and, more lately, by twelve old women! Speaking ol women suggests the fact that men used anciently to “ lift” the women three times, on Easter Monday. Sometimes a chair, gaily decorated with parti-colored ribbons, was employed, and then the operation was called ** heaving.” £ kiss, or a piece of silver, was re quired as a forfeit, whenever this liberiy was not al lowed. The celebration of this amusement was often accompanied by the scraping of a fiddle. On E*ster Tuesday, the women retaliated in like manner upon the men. Jolly, sturdy-limbed housewives sat around massive tables, lined with foaming tankards of ale. The lucky (or unlucky> male-man or strip ilug—that cfttne within reach of their dutches, was caught, hoisted, kissed, and released. On Easter Monday, also, the boys were roguish enough to remove the girls’ buckles, and on Easter Tuesday the young ladies revenged themselves by depriving their sweethearts of shoes and buckles both. Any one at all acquainted with the biographic channels of history, and the curious by-paths of an tiquity will readily recall a hundred ancient and ob solete customs, once general in foreign lands, and to some extent in thiß country. The throwing of apples into churchyards after evening service on Easter Sunday i the repairing to the parsonage to partake of bread, and cheese, and ale; ih&beating and stoning of Jews in districts where the prejudice of bigotry -was wicblv spread; the school-boy shouting the doggerel “Christ is risen, Christ is risen ; all the Jews must go to prison the putting out of church fires, and the rebuilding them with flint; the burn ing brands, hallowed by the priests, and car ried home by the parishioners; the large paschal tapers, tinctured with frankincense, and bles&eu to the sound of mußie; the consecration of crosses and banners and oil; the garnished torches, the- garlands of lavender and rose, the green rushes and the fair flowers; the ringing of bells, the clapping of hands; the fat hens and the dainty flitches oi bacon; the tansy cakes and puddings 'made of eggs, sugar, and sack, cream, spinach, and butter: the pudding pies ana the cherry beer; the rolling of young couples down steep hills; the bearing of husbands (l) one day, and the beating of wives (t) the next; the “clipping” of - village churches by charity children; the dancing of the sun in honor of the resurrection; the cheese cus tard and clouted cream; the eggs and herbs, green sauce and radishes; the penny loaves distributed from church steeples among the children of the poor; the red herrings and com salads; the pace-eggers* songs; the holiday games by land and water.; the tilting spears and quivering shields-: the braggots of spiced ale and sugar and Bherry—these, and others which are too numerous to be all remembered, will occur to him who knows anything of the games and customs of the past. The record of some of them Jives but in memory. The old ritualists refer to them here and there in their writings. The Easter egg, so great a feature of the Easter season, is also known as the Pasche Egg, (ovum paschaU.) The present use of this is traced by some antiquaries up to the theological and philosophic tenetabf the Gauls and the Greeks, and even Per sians and Egyptians. With them , the egg was the symbol of the universe, and was held in reverence accordingly. It has seemed strange to some that Lent should, in some foreign countries particularly, he ushered in with revelry, and dismissed amid the clamor of frivolity. This contrast cannot be laid to the account of morbid reaction. The spirit of the season fructifies the spirit of its outward mani festation. The domains of religion include seasons of exclusive solemnity. The season of Bent is one of ihese- But pure religion does not look with se verity on the pleasing playfulness of the world around. It is not the province of this paper to detail the process by which Easter eggs are colored. That part of the business is in the exclusive possession of confectioners, Btall-keepers, mothers with boys at school, and a few others. It is understood that cochineal, and tallow, and hot water, are brought into request on these interesting occasions. A speckled, pie-bald, or bird’s-eye appearance is often aimed at. names, births, marriages, and deaths,bows and arrows, flaming torches, and true lovers’ knots, doduty during the Feaßt of Eggs. Brown flowers, leaf gold, juiceof herbs, and the yellowing furze-blossoms were lormerly employed. Eggs are often preserved from year to year in long-stemmed ale glasses, and eggs laid on Good Friday are by some considered of perennial worth. Bonfires, sweet briar, citron buds, jesmine boughß, and orange blossoms, once lent a sweetness and a beauty to this singular festival, and vied with the Oashmirean Feast of Hoses. At the present day; the religious services being over, boys especially have the day to themselves. “Good eggers” are all the go. There are prize and cham pion-fighters in the list. In the churches, the ser vices at this season aUvb.ys are of a deeply-solemn character. The religious soul of the community finds an appropriate expression in the commemora tions of Eastertide. INTERESTING FACTS CONCERNING THE Exited States Mixt.— The Enited States Mint was established in 1792. The first cents were coined in 1193; the first silver pieces in 1794, and the first gold pieces in 1795. From that time to June 30,1861, the whole amount of the eoinage of all kinds was $799,923,362. Of this amount $637,761,629 came from the Mint during the time between June so, 1849, and June 30, 1861, California gold having begun to flow towards the Mint at the commencement of this pe riod. The increase during those years was chiefly in gold coins, although the coinage of the cents was largely increased after 1867. The amount of cents coined during the year 1866 was $27,106; for the year ending June 30,1858, it was $234,000. The whole amount of the gold coinage during the period specified was $669,116,406; silver, $l2B,- * 169,482; copper and nickel, $2,674,743. The whole amount of the money coined at the mint from 1792 to the end of 1785 was $71,485 in gold: $370,933 in ■fiver j and $11,373 in copper; total, $443,541. The smallest amount coined in any one year after this was $29,481 in 1816 ; and the largest in one year was $83,693,768, during the fiscal year ending in 1861: and nearly $81,000,000 of this was in gold, the largest amount of gold in any one year. The largest amount of silver coined in a single year, was $9,077,471, in 1853, when the Spanish six and twelve cent nieces were taken out of circulation, and transformed into American money. The largest amount of cents in one year was in 1859-60. $342,000. The coinage of cents during the present year, however, wifi no doubt exceed that of any other year, as the amount coined during last month alone reached $63,000. Yet at the presant time cents cannot be coined as fast as they are wanted, although they are manufactured at the Mint as fast as the machinery can turn them out Two or three years ago this coin would accumu late in vast quantities, and it was difficult to exchange them for any available currency. It is not so at the present time, although there are more in the country than ever. Three-oent pieces, also, which were very abundant two yearß ago, are scarce, and gone out of general circulation. They are seen now and then, but they may ere be classed with the rare curiosities, and hunted up for exhibition. Those people who now hoard cents and three-cent pieces do it, probably, in the belief that they are much more valuable than the regular paper currency. We suppose they do not understand that • cents and three* cent pieces are not worth what thev pass for, and that they are not a legal tender for the payment of debts amounting to more than thirty cents. A person may hoard three cent-pieces to the amount of hundreds of dollars; but he cannot pay debts with them oruse them at all in business trans- »pe«iaed, if other, re >., and . with cents the case is still ■m»n®<<nin» o «u™ fool *sh business.

We are told by one that i the annual loss in a country where both gold and aflver circulated, is one part in 420; by another on* in S 00; by a third, one in 200; and one gentleman of I great accuracy and acuteness, (cited by Jacobs ! says that the loss- on coined silver is full one ner cent, per annum. A. more recent and alarming ' estimate from British sources, would lead to the expectation that sliver pieces of the size of their shilling -or our quarter dollar, would, in less than ten years, be worn so much as to be no longer passa ble. Every one knows the value of such statements on this side of the water. At a thorough re-examination of this important suhiect, made atthe Mint, it was ascertained what is tide average annual loss on each size of gold coin, and on silver promiscuously. The silver coin average, a low of one part In 630; the half eagle, one in 3,660; the double eagle, one in 9,000; and that by a cautious estimate as to the proportions of the various sizes Of coin actually among us, the average annual loss by »J™sion d«» not exceed one part in 2,400; that is, in time, when specie is Smnhnnatics, and by all who desire the development E&gkFZSSSFS srTito^ttonM £52 i«f* b&ve been prepared here, which re- artist. an& workmen i 5d th MlnabJT Mins and medals have been ijare auu » .

A strong gale from the northeast was blowing at the time, and great numbers of floarks were wafted in a southwesterly direction, setting fire to the roofs of some of the dwellings in the neighborhood, but no serious damage was done outside of the structure ia which the fire originated. The firemen suffered greatly from the cold, which was quite severe. The new steam engine of the Franklin Fire Company was iu service for the first time. She was christened by the Moyamenalng Hose Company. fig Some forty hands, including men and boys, a-e thrown out of employment bv this conflagration. The building occupied by Mr. Burnham was owned by Mr. John Horn, and is insured for $2,000 in the Fire Association.. Thiß will be sufficient to cover the loss. The value of the machinery, fixtures, tools, ma terial, and stock is estimated at $15,000. Upon this there was an insurance of $12,000 in the following companies: Franklin, $4,000; Pennsylvania. $4,000; 'Washington, of Providence, R. 1., $2,000; Phceaix, of Hartford, $2,000 The total loss of Mr. Burn ham is estimated at $lO,OOO. Adjoining the factory on Tenth street ia a three story brick building, owned by Signor Blitz, and • occupied by P. Madeira, surgical instrument maker, as a store and dwelling. The flames burned through the bath-room in the rear of the building, but were checked before any considerable damage had been done, Mr. Madeira suffered somewhat.by water. He is insured in the America Pire Insurance Com-* pany. The building is insured in the Fire Associa tion and Green Tree. The Jewish Passover.— The observ ance of the Jewish Passover commenced on last Friday evening, and will close at sunset on Satur day, April 11. During the feaßt nothing made of grata,-hops, or malt, may be partaken of. The cere monies in the synagogues on the first two and last two days of the feast are very impressive and so lemn. The feast is observed in commemoration of the deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptian bon dage, Exodus xii. 31: “ And He called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children, of Israel: and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said. Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. And the Egvptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be &U dead men. And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoul ders.^ The Coal Trade.— Tlie coal trade^on •tinues to show a very healthy increase on the supply of last year, and we learn that coal operators are making preparations for a large business this sea son. The Reading Railroad, in addition to controll ing all the laterals in Schuylkill county except the Minehill, also controls the Oatawlss* Railroad; and preparations are making to bring coal via that route Irom the Wilkeabarre region to Philadelphia. By an arrangement of low tolls on the different roads, they expect to bring coal from Wilkesbarre to sell in competition with Schuylkill coal at Philadelphia, and thus increase tbelonnage overthese roads. The difficulty heretofore has been in shipping the coal from this city after it arrives here. Seizure of Government Clothing.— During last week information was received at the office of the provost marshal that a quantity of Go* vernment clothing was secreted at Chester, some of the low groggeries and negro huts which infest the place. Lieutenant J. K. Brooker was immediately detailed to investigate the matter, and the result was the capture of a quantity of shirts, drawers, pants, coats, shoes, and blankets—enough to fill a respectable-sized furniture oar. Some of the goods were found stowed away under floors, in stove pipe holes, out-houses, Sec. The property was left at the Chester Hospital, subject to the orders of Gen. Schencß. Admitted into the Hospital.— James Stetlar, aged 19 years, received a very severe com pound fracture of his left leg on Saturday afternoon by a car on the Arch-street road. In attempting to jump o&>the-front he fell, and the wheel passed over his leg. Peter Armstrong, aged four years, was shockingly burned Saturday afternpon by ills clothes taking flre-from a stove, at Ms home in a small alley running from St. Mary street near Seventh. Both of the above sufferers were conveyed to the hos pital. Entertainment foe Conyalescents.— The convalescent soldiers of the United States mili tary hospitals at Broad and Cherry streets, and Six teenth and Filbert streets, paid a visit to Whitta ker’s circus, on Saturday afternoon, in response to an invitation extended by the manager. The boys were higMy pleased with the entertainment j so much so, that the soldier printers published a neat card of thanks on returning to their hospital, at Broad and Cherry streets, for the kind entertain ment given them by the circus manager. Shocking Scene.—Oh Saturday Bight, about ten o’clock, a little baby was found dead on its face, iu house No. 407 Penn street. The mother was beastly drunk at the rime. Pocket Picked.—Thomas Pryor, drug gist, at Second and Poplar streets, on Saturday Had his pocket picked of thirty-five dollars wMle in a car of the Richmond line. THE POLICE. [Before Mr. Recorder Eneu, 3 Alleged Assault and Battery* Officer Boyd Adams was arraigned before the Recorder on Saturday afternoon on the charge of haring commit ted an assault and battery on a woman giving the name of Margaret Powers, who resides at No. 410 Penn street. The testimony as giren by tbe complainant sets forth that she is employed as cook in the establishment of Mr. Neill, at Bock street and Exchange place On going home on the night of March 17th, she missed her little boy, aged about Are years. She searched several sta tion-houses, and finally ascertained that officer Adams had taken the child to the Home at Pitzwater and Twelfth streets. She hunted for and finally found the officer, and to her inquiries, he replied that he knew his own business. He then took me (continued the witness) to the office of Alderman Welding, who sent me to prison. While in' prison my little baby, four weeks old, was brought to me; it took cold and died on the following Sunday. Witness also ook cold from sleeping on the bare floor in the cell, from tbe effects of which she has not yet fully recovered. The officer entered bail in tbe sum of 8600 to answer at court. The other side of the story, it may be proper to state, Is this: On or about the middle of March, a responsible citizen called at tbe Central Station, and lodged informa tion of a case of heartless child desertion; Officer Adams had hie attention called to the subject. He proceeded to the place designated, and found the little boy sleeping wilha in a state of destitution. The child, at the request ofseveral humane persons, was taken to tbe Honie above mentioned. In a day or so after this, a woman, calling herself the mother of tiie child, stopped at the residence of Officer Adams. It is alleged that she was intoxicated, and behaving in a highly indecorous manner; a considerable crowd was raised in tbe front of the residence' of the officer: a breach of the peace prevail ed. The woman was arrested, and committed, in default of bail to be of future good behavior. She alleges that she was committed on the charge of assault and battery. Such a charge was not preferred against her. [Before Mr. Alderman Beitler.3 Professional Female Thieves# The two females whose arrest we mentioned mThe Press on Saturday, as having been arrested on Good Friday, at St. Joseph’s Church, as professional thieves, had a public bearing on Saturday afternoon, at the Cen tral Station. Geo. B. Smith, detective, testified that on Friday, he and Officer Taggart visited St. Joseph’s Church, and, as they were emerging from the crowd, observed the two prisoners very unexpectedly; the pri soners observed the officers at the same time and did not So into the crowd of people standing around the door; ie prisoners are professional thieves; they said they were Catholics ana were going to church; they wanted fish for their supper last evening; they-would noteat meat. At this point of evidence one of the prisoners burst out laughing but repressed it, as soon as possible, alter being nudged by her companion. None of the other detectives seemed to know the prisoners. Tim alder man said he did not consider the evidence sufficient to commit under what is known as the ninety-day law. He required the. defendants to enter bad in the -sum of $5OO each to be of good behavior, and to keep the peace for one year. Attempted Burglary. Charles Jones and William Best were arrested by Officer Shell, of the Third division, at Mth and Spiuce streets, ahomt half past 3 o’clock on Satpday,mornin|. The evidence set forth the following fasts: That Officer Shell, on going along Fifth street, saw a man near Spruce street, whom he regarded with suspicion. The man moved off as the officer approached,-and presently he ran, without any apparent cause. officer had. just started in chase of him, when the fugitiye made a signal whistle. The officer stopped momentarily, and hearing a noise, proceeded to an alley and caught the two prison* era. On asking them what they were doing there, they gave an unsatisfactory reply. They were taken to the station-house, on Union street. On searching them a number of keys, and several table-knives, were found upon them. On examining the house at the southwest corner of Fifth and Spruce streets it was found that the parties had been tn the entry there; matches that had been lighted were found on the floor, and certain indenta tions or rnarku were discovered on the door in' the entry leading into a trimming store.. The prisoners said they had jnst come from New York on Friday. They were committed in default of $l,OOO bail to answer at court [Before Ur.

And if worls are the ordinary guide for the tot< niton of the law-giver, we must apply them with like effect in parallel cases. One other suggestion remains to be noticed. In the clause of the 75th nee non woich imposes the tax on cloth, and all textile or knitted or felted fabrics of cotton or wool, a proviso occurs which exempt-tthread or yarn, manufactured and sold for such fabrics. Thread and yarn prepared for such purposes shall not be regarded as manufactures, fays the statute. Verv well, that ex* mpts them, but shoddy is neither thread nor yarn, nor does it bear aty such similitude as to entitle it to rank With these * nicies on theexpress exemption. It is more like the wool from the sheep s back; but, unlike that, it si produced by handicraft, and therefore is taxable. The demurrer is sustained, and the bill is dismissed at Common wealth of Pennsylvania to the use of Fanny M. Taylor vs. Robert D. YViikinson et al. This was an action on the official bond of the late Recorder, Robert D. W ilkinson, to recover damages for loss sustained by his neglect to certify the existence of an unsatisfied mortgage against a property, a ground rent arising out of which Miss Taylor was about purchasing, and did purchase, m consequence of there appearing, by the searches, to be no incumbrances on the property. This mortgago was iu existence, however, and proceedings were subsequently had on it, under which the property was sold, the sum realized not being sufficient to pay the mortgage debt, hence the present suit. Thecae was presented to the court on a case stated, and on Saturday justice Woodward entered judgment on tho bond in favor of the Commonwealth for $A),000, and In favor of Fanny M.
