"April 5, I860.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, an inde
pendent political, literary, and miscella
neous newspaper, has lately made its ap
pearance in a new drest, which adds great
ly to its attractions. Its else and shnpo
are similar to those of the leading New
York Journal; it contains eight pages of
choice reading matter, printed on fine
paper, with new copper faced type. In
its mechanical execution, it is unsurpassed,
and its editorial department will be care
fully conducted. Wo predict that the In
quirer u destined to rank high as a fami
ly paper.
"We learn that Mr. George Drehcr of
our Bofoagh, has received from the Gov
ernor, a Commission as Notary Public.
Mr. Dreher is a deserving young man,
sndr merits well of the community.
Remarkable !
We have been hhown a ben's egg about
thre fourths of an inch in diameter, aud
weighing less than half an ounce; with a
perfectly formed shell, and nearly round.
The remarkable part of the story u,
that it was taken from the inside oj anotli
er egg of ordinary dimensions. 31 r. Rob
ert Huston, the owner of the egg, says
that bis family bad boiled eggs for break
fast, and on breaking one of them, this
strange phenomenon appeared.
We would call the attention of our rea
ders lo tbe speech, on another page of this
paper, delivered at Harrisburgh, by the
Hon. John Covodc, who defeated Henry
D. Fotcr, in 1858, for Member of Con
Kress, and who is now Chairman of tbe
Corruption Investigating Committee, late
ly et on foot by Congress. In thi speech
Mr. Covode briefly alludes to the bribe
ries and corruptions generally of tbo Ad
ministration and his abettors, and prom
i;es in due time to properly ventilate the
same. The present fulfilling of which
prooi-e is causing our veuerable Presi
dent to grit angrily and defiantly upon
bi teeth, and to Sourish bitter protests in
the face of those who set on foot tbe inves
tigation. That Enemy of Mankind,
Consumption! can be cured, but it is
far better to prevent tbe cruel disease
from fastening itself on the system, by
the -timely use of a remedy such as Dr.
Wistara Balsam of Wild Cherry affords
JJTbere's a vile counterfeit of this
Balsam, therefore bo sure and buy only
that prepared by S. W. FoWLE & Co,
Boston, which has tbe written signature of
I. BDTTS on tho outside wrapper.
Strumous or Scrofulous affections are
tbe carse, tbe blight, the polatoe rot of
mankind. They are vile and filthy an
veil as fatal. "They arise from contami
nation and impurity of tbe blood, and are
to be seen around us everywhere. One
quarter of all we meet are tainted with
them, and one quarterof these die of them;
die foolishly loo, because they are cura
ble. Ater's Saksapaeilla cleanses
out tbo Scrofulous corruption from the
blood, renders it pure and healthy, and
carefully expurges the foul contamination
from tbe system. No longer groan under
our Scrofulous disorders, since the irresis
table Ayer has provided his masterly
combination of curative virtues that he
calls Sarsaparilla. Democrat, Water-

Harrisburg, Tuesday, April 3, I860.
This morning tho Senate and Hou-e
reconsidered the vote on the General Ap
propriation bill, and recommitted it to a
Conference Committece. The Committee
reported the bill which tbe House adopted.
The bill to incorporate tho South Pitts

The President's Message.
Buchanan Protests against an Investiga
tion Dy uovoae.
The President has sent a message to
the Home of Representatives, denying
tbe right of tbat body to make investiga
tions into bis conduct. A dispatch from
Washington says: The President's mes
sage, protesting against Mr. Corode's in
vebtigation, created intense exoitement io
tbe House. He has done nothing so fool
iah since writing his Pittsburg letter.
Tbe idea of tbe President pleading juris
dietioo like a criminal at the bar, and
seeking to avoid inquiry by technical pre
texts, is discreditable to tbe office. Th
whole tone of this document is oonccded
to be woak and puerile in spirit. Mr
Sherman briefly, but effectively, vindica
ted the power of tho House to pursue tbe
investigation in every way, and cited the
clauses or tue uonstuution oearmg upon
this power as the basis of impeachments
When Mr. Craige, of North Carolina, in
quired why the inquiry had not been made
through the Judiciary Committee, Mr
Sherman promptly answered that the
House was the judge of its own propriety,
and desired no instruction from the Presi
dent.
A Naked Outrage,
On Sunday morning, tbe 18th ult.,
ereat exoitement was caused in the Bap
tist Church, at Pittstown, Renselaer
County, N. Y, by a man walking in tbe

He was led out as soon as possible, and
decided to be insane oo the subject o

Barnum Ereot
We sco by the New York Papers that
the great showman has disposed of the

The Homestead Bill.
The Homestead bill which has passed
tbe tlouso of Representatives at Wash

good story i9 told of the towns
of Lisbon and Lyman, at the late election
in New Hampshire. Lisbon is a Repub
lican town and Lyman is Democratic.
Tbe Democratic leaders in the latter town
thought they could spare two or three vo
ters, so aa to carry Lisbon for the Demo
crats, and they accordingly moved some
two or three, just long enough before the
election to entitle them to vote. The re
mit was tbat Lyman elected a Republi
can Representative, and Lisbon two, much
to tbo dismay of the astute managers, who
had thus overreached themselves.

that compelled most of them to dN-gore

VTPMr. Robert M. T. Hunter, of Va.,
will probably obtain the nomination at
tho Charleston Convention for President
of the United States. The Democratic
Sta.e Convention of Maryland, last week,
which it was thought would favor Doug

Mr. Iluuter was evidently the choice ol
the Convention as he seems to be of a
majority of the Southern States.
We loam from Washington, that from
all tbo information collected there, it i?
pretty certain that, if Kentucky aud Ten
nessee will withdraw their candidates, be
will get tho whole one hundred and twen
ty Southern votes on the firnt ballot, and
certainly on the second. Messrs. Davis,
Slidell, Fitzpatrick, Wie. Guthrie, John

opinions personally, and ascertain tbe
importance of throwing a solid vote.
Mr. Hunter is a thorough going disci
ple of Calhoun believes most heartily in
the divinity of Slavery, and regards it as
the one great interest whichlhe Govern
ment should sedulously foster and main-
tain. lie is consequently a pcrtect em
bodiment of "latter-day demooracy." He
s a platform in himself, and will not
need any long-winded resolutions to serve

Domestic Trials.
BY THE BARD OF THE EASTON HALL OF FASHION.
Come, tell me my dear wife,
What is it, ails thee now?
What has caused that frown to settle
On thy usually fair brow?
Have domestic cares pressed heavily!
Is it because the sun
Was obscured by dismal clouds,
Ere the weekly wash was done?
Did the elder children's racket
Keep the little one from sleeping.
And thus retard the progress
Of the dusting and the sweeping?
Have tho bread and pies, in baking
Almost to crisp been burned?
By the carelessness of Biddy,
Just as your back turned.
For a moment, on the kitchen
There are trials, I will avow,
But not worth half the feeling
Housewives have on them thrown.
No! Husband, 'tis because our neighbor

She drops in here so often
To pass the time away.)

ening to make me bald.
In this unpleasant predicament, I was in
duced to try Wood's Hair Restorative, main
ly to arrest the falling off of iny hair, for I
had really no expectation that gray hair could
ever be restored in its original color except
from dyes. I was, however, greatly surpria
ed to find after tho use of two bottles only,,
that not only was the falling off arrested, but
the color was restored to the gray hairs and
sensibility to the scalp, and dandruff ceased
lo form on my head, very much lo the grati
fication of my wife, at whose solicitation I
was induced to try it.
For this, among the many obligations J
owe to her sex, I strongly recommend all hus
bands who value the admiration of their
wives to profit- by my example, and use it if
growing gray or getting bald. Very re
spectfully. BEN. A. LAVENDER.

To Prof. O. J. Wood : Dear Sir: Your
"Ilnir Restorative" has dont' my hair so much
good since I commenced the use of it, that I
wish to make known lo the public of its ef
fects on the hair, which are great. A man
or woman may be nearly deprived of hair,
and by a resort to your "Hair Restorative,""
the hair will. return more beautiful than ever;
at least this is my experience. Believe it all!
Yours truly. WM. H. KENEDY.

the misfortune to lose the best portion of my
hair, from the effects of the yellow fever, in

make a trial of your preparation, and found
it lo answer as the very thing needed. My
hair is now thick and glossy, and no words
can express my obligations to you in giving
to the aliiicted such a treasure.
