shortly, in which they will be assisted by ac

sociations in this city. We can safely-promise
the music-loving public a first-class entertain

Deem WARRANT ISSUED.—The death warrant
of Andrew M'Hialey, convicted of the murder
of Thomas Shaveland, at Danville, in May last,
has been issued by the Governor. He is to be
executed on Friday the first of February next.
When the warrant was read to him be received
the news with apparent composure. The Dan

be reconciled to his fate.
HARRISBUSG AND LANCASTER RAILROAD.-A
meeting of the stockholders of this company
will be held in Philadelphia on the 27th inst.,
for the purpose of accepting or rejecting a con
tract for a more permanent lease of their road
to the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Com
pany. We learn that the latter Company have
secured stock enough in the Harrisburg and
Lancaster road to control its operations, BO that
the entire management of that road is likely
to pass into their hands.
ATMOSESERIO POlSON.—People have often said
that no difference can be detected in the analy
zition of pure and impure air. This is one of
the vulgar errors difficult to dial Age from the
public brain. The fact is, that the condensed
air of a crowded room gives a deposit which, if
allowed to remain for a few days, forms a thick
glutinous mass, having a strong odor of ani
mal matter. If examined by the microscope,
it is seen to undergo a remarkable change.
First of all it is converted into a vegetable
growth, and this is followed by the production
of multitudes of animalcules—a decisive proof
that it must contain organic matter, otherwise
it could nourish organic beings.

hymn Fr.s.rivak—The Feast of Lighbi, or
the Days of Dedication, commenced on Satur
day night, and will last fol eight days. The
origin of this Feast is as follows : In the time
of the Temple, there was a period when a
heathen King, by the name of Antiochus of
Syria, had nearly abolished the observance of
the Jewish religion, through the great cruel
ties he committed in Palestine, over which he
had dominion. At length the Jews, led on by
the valiant Judas Ilacctebeus, drove out the
Syrians, and again in consecrating the Temple
they instituted a Festival called "Hanukah, or
the Consecration," and ordered that for all fu
ture periods lamps should be lighted in all the
synagogues and houses, commencing from the
evening of the 24th day of the ninth month
(of Kislew) es an everlasting memorial of the
mercy of the Lord, displayed in delivering his
people and his religion from the power of the
oppressor.
DowN ON TILE BORERS. —We are glad to see
the newspapers throughout the State making
V 1 at upon the "borers" who infest this city
every winter during the sessions of the Legisla
ture. Their name is legion ; and a more cor
rupt, unprincipled and mercenary class of men
never desecrated any city with their presence.
A rural cotemporary very accurately describes
them as the men who, with bribes, persuasion,
and blandishments, seduce the representatives
of the people to grant private or corporate
privileges destructive to the common welfare of
the State. Indeed, the chief business of the
"borer" at Harrisburg is jobbing or concocting
schemes to transfer, under some special pretext,
the money of the people from the pockets of its
rightful owners to those of the speculating job
bers. We have often wondered why L some
united action is not taken by the people to
crush this evil. These men are known here—
and their business is as well understood as if
advertised in the newspapers. Why should
they not be restrained ? Why should they not
be as amenable to penal law as any other dan
gerous and pestilent characters ? It is to be
hoped that the members of the incoming Le
gislature,
for their own credit and the good of
the people, will adopt measures to crush out
the present disreputable system of "lobby le
gislation," and drive the infamous mercenaries,
known as "borers," from their respective halts.
We intend to watch the operations of these
fellows, this winter, and give accurate pen
portraits of them, so that the people may know
who and what they are. They will find
"A chiel among them ta'en notes

FEAST OF THE "IMMACULATE CONCEPTION."
Last Sunday was the feast of the "Immacu
late Conception," and as such was duly cele
brated by the Catholics of this city. As this
feast is one of interest, especially to American
Catholics, no pains are spared to render its
ceremonies effective ; and foremost in the work
stands the Jesuit priests of America.
PENNSYLVANIA OIL BUSINESS. —The underground
oil business of Pennsylvania is getting to be a
business of such magnitude thal several old
whalemen from New Bedford are said to have
struck their harpoons into it, as not requiring
so long voyages nor so great risks, and yet
furnishing a much more sure catch than the
whaling business. It is believed to be real and
permanent, and men of capital are investing
in it quite extensively.
MauAny. —Several prominent military gen
tlemen of Allegheny county held a meeting the
other day to consider the present dilapidated con-
dition of the military of this State, and they
adopted a resolution inviting the co-operation of
all the military throughout the Commonwealth
in such measures as will secure legislation neces
sary for the improvement of the system. We
have no doubt the resolution will meet with a
cordial-response. Wo would 'suggest the pro
priety of a military convention at Harrisburg
during the session of the Legislature.
BEFORE THE MAYOR. —The only vagrant before
the Mayor this morning was a tramper named
George Murphy, out of money and in search of
employment. Tavern keepers, as a general
thing, are not a very tender-hearted class of
men, and do not often entertain people who
cannot afford to pay. George was therefore
obliged to seek the shelter of the lock-up, or
' , stay out in the cold," and he wisely chose the
former. After hearing his story this morning
the Mayor gave the unfortunate wanderer some
directions about obtaining work in the city, and
then discharged him.
Summons CHARACTERS.—Three young Ger
mans, supposed to belong to the gang of bur
glars recently spotted in Philadelphia, arrived
here yesterday. Some persons who saw them,
and had previously read the reports in the
Philadelphia papers, think they answer the de
seriptions given. The Chief of Police was in
search of the fellows to-day, and visited a num
ber of German lager beer shops, but failed to
find them. The probability is, that if any of
the gang came here yesterday, they either left
again last night, or are securely concealed
somewhere in the city.

POPULATION OF DAUPHIN COUNTY.—In 1850 the
population of this county was thirty-five thou.
sand seven hundred and fifty-four. According
to the late census returns it is now forty-eight
thousand six hundred and forty, showing an
increase in ten years of twelve thousand eight
hundred and eighty-six. During the same pe
riod there has been an increase in the number
of dwelling houses in the county of two thou
sand one hundred and ninety-three, the whole
number at present being eight thousand two
hundred and twenty-six. There are so many
inaccuracies in the census returns, however, as
to render them unreliable.
A STEAM Flax ENGINE Tarsi took place in
Erie a faw days age, where arrangements have
been made to procure one. In five minutes
from the time fire was communicated to the
fuel, she commenced pumping and throwing
water, with forty pounds of steam, and a one
and a quarter inch stream was thrown over a
three story building, through nine hundred feet
of hose. Two streams were thrown through
one and a quarter inch nozzles with great
power and to a remarkable height, showing the
most complete adaptation of the machine to
the work. The steam engines have become
popular wherever introduced, and it is hoped
that property holders in our city will promptly
and liberally aid the members of the Friend.
ship Fire ComPany in their, efforts to procure
one of these machines. Should a conflagration
occur during the winter in the western section
of our city, or on Fair Hill, where there is no
water, the necessity for a steam fire engine
would be unmistakably demonstrated. By all
means let us have a. first class steamer, and the
sooner the better.

OBSCENE PUBLICATIONS.—The following com
munication comes to us from a highly respect
able citizen. He sends us some specimens of the
articles to which exception is taken, which,
"with others destroyed," he says, "suggested
the propriety of a notice!' These articles ap
peared in the local columns of the Patriot and
Union, some of them quite recently, and we
fully agree with our correspondent that the pa
per containing such obscene publications should
be carefully excluded from the family circle :
Mu. EDITOR :—We are often grieved to be
obliged to secrete or burn numbers of our daily
papers in consequence of articles contained
therein calculated to corrupt the morals of our
children. We are often constrained to believe
from our personal knowledge of the character
of the proprietors of these papers, that they
would not permit such articles to appear if
they saw them before they were in type, and
we cannot get rid of the idea that many of
these productions are concocted by their au
thor while taking a stroll on desecrated ground.
"Let no corrupt communications proceed out
of your mouth, but that which is good to the
use of edifying, that it may minister grace un
to the hearers."—Ephesians 4.29. "Be not
deceived_; evil communications corrupt good
manners!'-Ist Corinthians 15.33.
DON'T FORGET, that the place to get your
Christmas presents is at BERGNER'S, 51 Market
St. See advertisement "Ho, for the Holidays."
A CI-LURCH ROBBED.—We learn that very re
cently some sacreligious scamp forced an en
trance into the Methodist church at Halifax, in
this county, and stole the marble slab off the
communion table. Thus far the thief has es
caped detection.
NIGHT Cars.—lf there be a thirteenth labor
of Hercules, it consists in putting a child to
bed. If there be a fourteenth, it is the child's
resolution to go to bed. And not having lived
over a hundred years since we were a child our
self, we venture to affirm that the fourteenth is
harder than the thirteenth by several degrees.
We remember how we pleaded for ten minutes
more—how we turned conversation into lively
and mirthful channels, endeavoring to.divert
the venerable minds of our progenitors so that
they might not hxfk at their inexorable watch
es—how, when the nurse-maid was left alone
with us, we surreptitiously turned back the
hands of the clock precisely one hour, climbing
upon the mantel-piece for that purpose to the
eminent hazard of our cervical vertebrae—and
also, how that clock, attempting a base imita
tion of General George Washington, said "I
cannot tell a lie I" and struck eight at the cus
tomary dreadful hour, though the hands point•
ed at seven. Mr. Benjamin Franklin! we call
on you to do the generous thing, and confess
manfully that though you did say "early to
bed" in your later years, you invariably kicked
like a Trojan when that thing was tried on you
in your earlier ones. Anybody, therefore, who
renders the dreadful emergency known as going
to bed something to be met by youth with for
titude, if not with ecstasy, has conferred a
blessing on the whole human family. This
universal benediction has been granted to the
race by the munificent ingenuity of the present
age. This munificence and ingenuity has taken
human form in the person of Mrs. Fanny Bar
rows. She has made going to bed easy. She
has robbed of Hs sting the King of Terror's
brother, sleep. She has smoothed the gloomy
passage down to temporary extinction in such
a way, that it is now difficult not to go to bed.
This great achievement has been attained by
the invertion known as "Aunt Fanny's Night
Caps." They are not the old ribbed cotton va_
riety, with an extinguisher top and tassel like
Harlequin's. They are not that delicate varie
ty, witchingly shaped of muslin—edged with
point d'Angleterre —so fascinatingly coy in
their tout ensemble that no man could remain a
bachelor ten minutes if by any conceivable
means he could be supposed to see one of them
on. Nor are they that allegorical night cap—
adopted only by elderly and vicious persons—
whose manufacture is not of the needle but the
spoon—whose texture is so spirit-ously aerial
that it affords no defenc@ whatever to what Mr.
Heenan would call "a punch in the head."—
They are the stories with which Aunt Fanny
used to reward her own family for the heroic
self-denial of going to bed. She sat with this
family on and around her knees, spinnlngthera
yarns of magic delight--until the only wonder to
us is how the yOuth who heard such yarns could
ever shut their eyes at all. We take them up
at present—and never wink till we come to the
finis. They are the most delightful blending of
childhood's dearest improbabilities with the
facts of common household life. They are fit
companions for the most charming literature
of our lives. They are the connecting link
between that glorious Mother Goose in whose
nurture we were brought up—and that Robin
son Cringe of blessed memory whose shaggy
arms received us corning from her downy
breast. The Night Caps are five—for the pres
ent. They will soon have to. be many more.—
We belieVe there is room among the b.eloyed
little childregfor everything of this kinetwhich
Aunt Fanny may manufacture—were her peat*
prolific as her needle—which we believe ought
to make at least one of the literal article for
every day in the year. These books are entitled
as follows : "Night Caps;" "Baby Night Caps;"
"Little Night Caps ;" "Big Night Caps ;"
"Fairy Night Caps." As a final addition comes
the New Book of Fairy Stories—which is a
night cap of the most bewitching variety. In
other words a perfect success, As the hallowed
blessedness of Christmas draws nigh, let every
good father and mother drop a hint in the
presence of Santa Claus on the subject of these
child-rejoicing stories. If that worthy bene
factor of life's most pleasable period has not
soured by contact with this hard business world
since we knew him—next Christmas morning
will see several thousand baby socks dancing
for bliss—with a package of Aunt Fanny's
Night-Caps in each toe. They may be obtained
at the bookstore of Mr. Bergner, and we advise
all parents to invest in the "Night Cape" be
fore the supply is exhausted.

United States to the above WINES and LIQUORS, imported
by Udelobo Wolfe, of New York, whose name Is fami-
liar in every part of thls county for the purity of bft
celebrated SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPs. Mr. Wolfe. in his letter
to Die, Speaking of the purity of his Warns sodLIQUORS,
says : "I will stake my reputation es a man, my stand
ing se a merchant of thirty years' residence in the Qty
of New York, that all the BRANDY and Wisms which I
bottle are pure as Imported, and of the best quality, and
can be relied upon by ever), purchaser." Emery bottle
has the proprietor's name on the wax, and a lac simile
of his signature on the certificate. Tae public are re

Read the following from the New York Courier
ENORMOUS BvsLiE FON Om: • Nsw Youa msacusz - r.—
We are happy to inform our" lel-ow-citizens that there is
one place in our city, where the physician, apothecary,
and country merchant, can go and purchase pare Wines
and Liquors, as pure as imported, and of the beat quality;
We do not intend to give an elaborate description of this
merchant's extensive business, although it will well re
pay any stranger or citizen to visit Udolplto Wolfe's ex
tensive Warehouse, Nos. 18. 10 and 22 Beaver Street,
and Nos. 11, 19 and 21, Mar- etdeld street His stock of
Schnapps on band ready for shipment could not have
been less than thirty thousand cases; the Brandy, some
ten thousand cases—Vintages of 1836 to 1866 ; and ten
thousand cases of Madeira, Sherry and Port Wine s
Scotch and Irish Whisky, Jamaica and St. Croix Rum,
HOMO very old and equal to any in this country. He also
had three large cellars, filled with Brandy, Wino, he., iu
casks, under Custom-House key, ready for bottling. Mr.
Wolfe's sales of Schnapps last year amounted to one
huedo. d and eighty thousand dozes, and we hope in I ass
than two years he may be equally successful with his
Brrndies and Wines.
His business merits the patronage of every lover of his
species. Private families who xish pure Wines and
liquors for medical use should send their orders direct
to Mr. Wolfe, until every Apothecary In the land mate
up their minds to discard the poisonous stuff iron their
shelves, and replace it with Wolfe's pure WINES and
Liquors.
We understand Mr. Wolfe, for the accommodation of
small dealers In the country, puts up assorted cases of
Wines and Liquors. Such a man, arta such a merchant,
should be sustained against his tens of thousands of op.
portents la the United States, who sell nothing but Imita
tions, ruinous dike to health and human happiness.
