WILT Is Tais Tnus?—Wherefore so many
bald men 'and so few bald women ? Why is
it that the skulls of young men in their twe,n;

spectacle of baldheaded barbers rubbing the
dry tops of bald-headed men, recommending
invigorators warranted to pioduce busby
locks in less then a fortnight, while bald.

wigs look on with derisive smiles; though

but men destroy' their hair by making ovens
of . their heads under .their hats, and thus
heat the tops of their craniums until the
hair dies out for very , want of air. Men
should take off their hats .oftener or' venti

YE take the following from a sketch, by
one of the editors of the Journal, who has
recently been On a trip through a portion of
ihe,county: • , •
"One bf the niost.interestib'g and pleasant
visits dyring onr trip, was to . the famous 014
Oath°lie Church, in lYashington egiwaship' s
located near Ckurchville, which/ derives; its
name from the venerable and sacred edifice.
This Church, known as "The Church of the
Blessed Sacrament;" was founded over one
hundred years ago, and the title to a _large
tract of land with which it was endowed was
obtained from William Penn himself.
Though originally small,it has been enlarged,
improved and beautified, from time to time,
and will now compare with our largest and
finest churches in Reading. The pews will
comfortably seat over'. ono thousand persons.
Its interior is richly adorned with sacred
emblems and works of art. A very ancient
Flemish painting of "The Last Supper," in
a good state of preservation, graces the
Altar, and we were informed by the vener
able Father BALLY, who for thirty-two years
has had charge of this Church, that ono of
the first elaborate efforts of the celebrated
Benjamin West, was a copy of this painting,
for which ho received a large sum. Mr.
West's father resided in this vicinity, and it
was hero that the great painter was born, and
.the genius was first' developed that gave him
world-wide fame."

111 Philadelphia, the pressure 'in monetar*
cir
cles seems to be about over. and loans were made
on very favorable terms, say from 7 to 9 per cent.
on goVernment loans, and 8 to 10 per cent. on inix
ad securities, with exceptional negotiations below
that. quotatians. The recent stringency has not
resulted disastrously except to stock i speenlators,
and, as a general rule, obligations wero met with a
degree of promptitude that indicated a command
of means on the part of the operators that could
scarcely be ontiolpated.
There Is a great diversity of opinion prevailing
respecting the interference of the Treasury De
partment wlth'the regular course of financial af
fairs. but the Immediate effect of the re-issuing of
greenbacks by the Department is decidedly re-as
suring. The wants of the merchants are limited
and the banks are disposed to accommodate them
to the extent of their means. It is highly probable
that the Government will only be obliged to place
a limited amount of currency in circulation, but the
very knowledge of its determination to resort to
this action has produced a very favorable effect.
There was a firmer feeling at the Stock Doard,
and all the fancies on the list took an upward turn.
The sales of Government and State Loans were
small; City Loans sold at 102%—n0 change.
Reading Railroad sold at 49, but after the ad•
iournment of the board, fell to 43 81. Pennsylvania

In Coal, Bank and Paasengor Railway shares the
transactions wore unimportant:
Ix N. Y., the market for Outrernment securitlas
opened very weak, yesterday, 'and sales of the five
twenties of 180 were made on the street before the
first call at 109 against 110 on Saturday afternoon,
but subsequently prices advanced under false re
ports that the Treasury was buying bonds and the
receipt from Washington of a rehash of the semi
official stock -jobbing despatches of Friday, Satur
dot pnd Suriday last, each oi o contradicting the
other more or less, but alldesigned to bull the
market for goldj governments and railway stocks
in order that this Treasury ring might put monoy
into their own lockots. Hence the feeling of in
dignation agains Mr. McCulloch for using his °M
etal position tolternately bull and boar the mar
kets in Wall strict, by anylng what ho will or will
not do, is very strong.
The ,stock makot was alternately strong and
heavy, and on filo whole feverish, but it is inhe
rently weak, prices being far above the range of
real values, and the cliques are the solo support of
tho speculative stocks, which aro selling in most
instances at from double to fourfold their real
value.; • Whether money is easy or stringent, there
fore, these will have to decline heavily, and wo
warn the publio against buying them and caution
the banks against 'lending on them, for they aro
liable to fall away as rapidly as Mitwaukie and St.
Paul, the tumble in which within a few days was
equal to fifty par cent. The ,progress of demorali;
ration has only been temporarily stayed by the
stook•jobbing canards from Washington, and be.
fore the present year expires there will ho sad
havoc in Wail street. We aro entering upon a
period of financial depression like that which Eng
land passed through prior to the resumption of
specie payments, and prices must gradually tend
nearer to specie values, and the bull cliques that
have boon doooying the public into their snare for
a long time past will be engulfed in ruin. Money
was in good supply at seven per cent, in currency
to first class borrowers, with exceptional transac
tions at this rate in gold to weak borrowers, but as
the banks aro remitting largely to the South and
Southwest, the money market will naturally wo4k
snore active as the season advances, and the &F.
titands of the Pork crop have not yet boon felt. ,

more houses built next summer in this city,
than there, were built this sumtner. This is
necessary., Although a large number, of
houses ha,Ve gone np,within the last eight
months, we hear of many people in search
of houses. We know of instances where
houses have been rented before the founda
tions were completed.
THE FSSTIVITIES,OF WINTER.—WhiIe the
cold, dismal days of winter are regarded as
precursors of misery—which, in fact, they
are to a great extent—they bring with them
many pleasures, such as balls, parties,, so
ciables, fairs and hops, A large number of
these aro in prospective, and the season will
no doubt be one of unusual enjoyment.
These festivities rob winter of much of its
disagreeableness. Permit us to edd'm con
nection with this subject, that we arore
pared to print balLtickets, programmes, &c.,
executed in the nisost artistic style.
TIIF: Reading Library Company respectfe.
ly invite the various societies of this city that
have banners or flags, to display them in the
hall during the fair, to be held in December
next, for the benefit of the library. The
laudable object of the fair will no doubt en
list the active interests of the citizens gen
erally', and it is the desire to make an itnpo

that will co-operate in effeettngithis object
can select - the position, and deco

Tile SOOOft festi
val and ball of the Millet Vetein, last night,
was a most splendid affair, and the audience
larger, perhaps, than on any previous occa
sion of the kind; _ The Concert, which form
ed the first part of the entertainment, was
admirably executed in all its details. In
place of the _lntrudedory by the orchestra,
tho opening piece consisted in the "Reading
Szengerfest March" composed by Prof.
Scluene, executed 'on the grand piano, by.
the- Prof. himself and Mr.. Rissinger. The
"Mtennerehor" sang the three selections as
signed to them—" Three Wishes" by
"On the Rhine" by Tschirch —and "Knight's
Eirewell" by Kinkel—with ease and pre
cision. The piano ttuett "Nocturne" by
Junginane ' was rendered in fine style by
Profs.- Sehitene and Borg.; a Waltz t original
composition of Prof. Scheme, was given with
splendid effect by the Prof. and Mr. Rhoads,
and_Prof. Berg's brilliant piano solo could
not be surpassed. The musical burlesque
"A Sleighing Party"' (by . Chwatal) executed
by the Mwnnerchor in costume, was receiv
ed with the - greatest delight, and had to be
repeated: The four tableaux vivants—
"Wacht and Rhein"—"Sehiller's °lecke"
—"Columbia and Germania; and "Gating ,
en" were tastefully ( grouped and arranged:
The last one, a very comicalpiece, Balled
forth a storm; of applause ankof course, had
to' be repeated. The first part of the festival
tieing thus happily concluded, the seats were'
'tilltriedly, removed, and the young and the
fair soon indulged in the:enjoyment "on the
light fantastic toe" till nigh on to the dawn
of day. , • •
These pleasant entertainments of our Ger
mail friends are invariably ma'Fkoll by refined
taste ,and an air of unrestieined and inno
cent geniality, well calculate d to relieve the
discord of everyday life.

AN OBSERVATORY IN READIN4I.-- 2 111V01101
the kind invitation °flan T. A. Willson, of
the firm of Messrs. T. A.-Willson Co - ., 524
Penn street, we have had the pleasure of

era. "
Messrs. Wilson having felt the necessity
of having'a standard time by which the own
ers of fine watches and clocks can set and
regulate them, knowing that the time they
sot and compare by is correct, they have, at
some expense, erected on the top of their
elegant building, No. 524 Penn street, an
Observatory, on which nro placed the 1111C08•
surf instrunients which are used in this truly
delicate operation.
The observatory is of an octagonal shape,
and . erected in the most permanent man
ner, it being arranged •. with a sliding
roof, which can ho removed at will, and used
for observing the transit of the sun and fixed
stars ; also doors to open at any. desired
angle.
.In the centre of the building' is built a
solid pier of masonry, in which are imbedded
large iron bars, to which• the bed•plate of
the transit instrumt4 ia fastened. It is of
the greatest impartanCo to have a solid body
to place the instrument on, for 'the least vi•
bration or shaking would cause aw error in
the observation ; consequently the floor is so
arranged as not to touch the pier, thus rend
ering it perfectly isolated from everything
surrounding it.
Tho transit instrument is'a piece of splen-
did workmanship, and was made to their or•
der. It has all the latest improvements,among
which is a perforated axis, graduated rid
ing level, Vernier scale. The perforated
axis is used for illuminating the field of view,
when observing a star which does not give
light sufficient to make the spider-web lines
apparent, and is done by a lamp constructed
for astronomical purposes.
•Wo must not forget to mention an electri-
cal register, which, was constructed by Mr.
T. A. Willson, who has charge of the obser
vatory. -It is intended to assist in the regis
ter of the transit of the sun or star across
the spideriweb lines in the instrument with
more accuracy than the naked eye.
It is done by moans of electricity—i. e.
having a battery connected with an wren•
omical chock, beating seconds, which aro
telegraphed to the observatory, and passed
through a paper register.
It is astonishing to those who
have not witnessed the process of tak
ing time, to see with what a nicety it can he
done, and wevompliment Messrs. Willson &
Co. on their successful endeavor to estab
lish,correct time for their OustOinerS, thus
adding another useful addian to- their
beautiful store.

Troubles In Tennebsie.
MEMPIIIs, November 10.-,-A de'spateh, was
received by . General Granger last night from
Prieq,Commissioner of, Registration,
at Mason's Poet, Tipton counth; stating
that the greatest excitement existO there
in consequence of a report that iGeneral
Smith, the defeated candidate for Congress,
was coming there with a largo body of arm•
ed negroes to take depositions for the pur
pose of contesting the election of 'Leftwich,
and asking for troops to preserve order. -
This morning a despatch was received
from Sheriff Slaughter, stating that . about
1000 armed negroes,principally from Fayette
country, had arrived there. The greatest ap
prehension was felt for the safety of the
whites, and many women and children had
left on the train in consequence since noon.
It is impossible ' to communicate by tele
graph with that point, and it is believed the
operator has been driven away.
General Granger despatched fifty men of
the Twenty-fifth infantry, under - three °Ili!.
cers, by a special train to-night, for thi n
purpose of preserving order.
