Eveurnusa to please the children in the way of brightly colored Toy Books, A B C Blocks, s z e., is for sale at Bergner's Cheap Book store, 51 ?Jatket street. Eloorros Vlsrrs.—We hear it rumored that the mernbas of one or two congregations in this city design paying their respective pastors donation visits on Christmas. May all our preacheriftlends be the recipients of "lots" of good things on that blessed occasion. )10010V1 PORKERS.—On Monday last Mr. J. B. Early, of Manadaville, in this county, o a ughtered two hogs, sixteen months old, which weighed, when dressed, nine hundred and thirty-seven pounds ! If anybody can "do better" in the pork line, it will afford us plea sure to make the announcement. A PROPER PRAYER FOR THESE TIMES.—" Come cud see the works of God ; he is terrible in ° his doings towards the children of men. He "turned the sea into diy land ; they went "through the flood on foot ; there we rejoiced "in him. He ruleth by his power forever; his "eyes behold the nations ; LET NOT THE REBEL " MOM EXALT THEMSELVES."--PBR/M 66. I=l DIPIFIERIA IN HARRISBURG. -- This terrible family scourge, which has ravaged other sec tions of the country for some months',past, and desolated hundreds of homes, now prevails in our city to a limited extent. Three or four cases have occurred recently, one of which proved fatal, It is to be hoped that our phy sicians may be more successful in the treatment of this alarming disease than medical men else where have been. Upon the very first indica tions of sore throat a physician should be. promptly summoned. The disease, once seat ed, is beyond the control of human skill. I=l CHRISTMAS AM THE POOR.—In the midst of the festivities incident to the holiday season, let the poor and destitute be kindly remember ed. The poor we have always with us, and it is recorded as a Divine saying that, "inasmuch as ye have done it unto the lea , st, of these, ye have done it unto me also." The reward of the charitable is not of this world, but finds its place in the sacred memories of Heaven. In the meantime, however, let us feast upon the good things that are provided by an all-wise Providence for our use, for it is a kind of grati tude to the Giver of all good things to enjoy the fruits of the earth in due season. A MUSIOAL TREAT.—A Concert of Excelsior Sacred Music, for the benefit of the St. Law rence Church on Front street, will be given on Christmas evening ; and from the extensive preparations in progress, the lovers of the "divine art" may anticipate au unusually rich treat. The object of the concert is to raise money to aid in liquidating the dolA nca tracted by the congregation in the purchase of the church edifice, and we have no doubt our German Catholic friends will be liberally patronised on the occasion. The entertain ment, which is to consist of vocal and instru mental music, will be well worth hearing, and we advise all our citizens to go— " , Where music's steam will roll To soothe the heart and harmonize the soul," A DANGEROUS NunsAsoz.—A terrible nuisance is caused by the juveniles coasting with their sleds upon the pavements. The frequent travel, and the drizzles and freezings, cause the walks to be so slippery, at times, as to render locomo tion dangerous, and the sledding only adds to the trouble. Scarcely a day passes during the winter season without somebody getting se riously stunned or hurt by a sudden fall, and the wonder is that some necks are not broken. And the youngsters who make this mis chief, go on with their sport as if they en joyed the fall of pedestrians as much as their sled rides. Seriously, this is a matter worthy the consideration of our city authorities. The little fellows who coast the streets ought to be severely reprimanded, and obliged to seek a more retired locality for indulgence in their winter sports. WIFIK OF PRAYER.—lmmediately after the suppression of the awful insurrection in India, the Missionaries of the Presbyterian Board at Lodiana, in that country, proposed that the second week of January, annually, should be observed as a week of prayer for the conversion of the world. The suggestion was last year acted upon quite generally, with great interest and with beneficial results. For the coming year, the following subjects have been suggested, as topics for thought, prayer and exhortation, viz : Sunday, January 6th—The promise of the Holy Spirit. Monday, 7th —An especial blessing on all the services of the week, and the pro motion of brotherly kindness among all those who love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.— Tuesday, Bth—The attainment of a higher standard of holiness by the children of God. Wednesday, 9thA large increase of true con versions, especially in the families of the be- Hovers. Thursday, 10th—The free circulation of the word of God and a blessing upon Christian literature. Friday, 11th—A large outpouring of the Holy Sprit upon all bishops, pastors, and ruling elders of the churches, upon'all semina ries of Christian learning, and upon every Pro testant Missionary among Jews or Gentiles, upon the converts of his station, and his field of labor. Saturday, 12th—The speedy overthrow of all false religions, and the full accomplishment of the prayer, "Thyllingdom Come." Sunday, 13 th — Thanksgiving for past revival, and the enforcement of the solemn responsibility rest ing on every Christian, to spend and be spent in making known the name of Jeans at home and abroad. We presume these suggestions will be acted upon in this city, and that the pastors of the several congregations will hold a conference and make the necessary arrangements, as has already been done hi Carlisle and other neigh boring towns, 13ttutsplvetnia Malty teltgrai34,- Zl)nroball Ittlerpo.on, tittembtr 20,, 1860. Aar, you in search of an article for a Christ mas present? Don't forget Spasm's Drug and Fancy store, where you will find a splendid as sortment of new goods if you call soon. They are disappearing rapidly. t BEFORE THE Mayon.—Two vagrants, named Michael Harman and Jacob Zimmerman, wore before the Mayor this morning. They told the old story of "no employment and no money." They passed an uncomfortable night in the lock-up, rather than stay out in the cold. THB Ramat, Masvuo in the Vine Street Methodist church continues in successful pro gress. The nightly meetings are largely at tended, and the religious interest seems to in. crease rather than abate. A number of young persons, of both sexes, profess to have been happily converted during the past week. == PARENTS rums sous Cznamps by calling on BANNITART and procuring ornaments for their Christmas trees in the shape of crystalized candies, beautifully designed, and gotten up expressly for the season. If you wish to pre sent them with something novel and interest ing, now is your time to purchase, when the assortment is full. Call and examine. Tan Maori Mamma re-assembles in theDourt room this evening, pursuant to adjournment. We presume it will be participated in by men of all parties. The Democrats, especially, should figure prominently in the demonstra tion, for the only Disunionists in this section are to be found in the ranks of that wing of the party of which the Patriot and Union is the recognized, organ. -.--,•,-_.. Accinsms.—The Slippery condition of the pavements last night occasioned a great many feats of "ground and lefty tumbling," some of them decidedly amusing, and others result ing quite seriously. A lady who fell on Second street was injured to such an extent that she had to be assisted home. A little boy's head was cut so badly that a physician had to be summoned to dress the wound. No doubt a number of similar accidents occurred which have not been - reported. On such occasions all house-keepers should sprinkle coal ashes on their pavements. -.-... 0 ---- RELIGIOUS Coxvrarnow.—The pastors of the Old School Presbyterian churches of Pittsburg and Allegheny cities, and Professors in the Western Theological Seminary, have issued a call requesting the. ministers and ruling elders of the Presbyteriaii - Ohuich in central and west ern Pennsylvania, northwestern Virginia and the State of Ohio, to convene in the First Pres byterian church, at Pittsburg, on Tuesday, the 16th day of January next, to pray for a revival of God's work. The Rev. Dr. Creigh, of cen tral Pennsylvania, is expected to open the Con vention with a sermon; on Tuesday evening.— A large attendance of ministers is anticipated. ~~~ A Emma xx Lvex.--The Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society, at its recent Annual Fair, held at the Wyoming massacre ground, in September last, offered a handsome premium for the best descriptive report Df the proceed ings. The Committee of Award met yesterday at the Girard House, in Philadelphia, consisting of Messrs. Heister and. Haldeman,trof Harris burg., und - Eillgie thol fartrua;ol+l 7 . 4•Ixo guage of their report, the publications of John George Alfred Townsend, a member of the corps of Philadelphia, "were marked by a high de gree of literary ability and great descriptive power." They accordingly awarded to him a service of silver plate." • ==l Avom PEDLERL—Not long since a gentleman in a neighboring county bought of a pedler some salve for corns. Ha applied it, and it caused a sore which continued to spread and cause intense pain until he was relieved by death. This is but one of a thousand warn ings against dealing withy any of the thousand vagabond swindlers who are allowed to har angue crowds in our towns, and prowl among the farmers, cheating the simple and sometimes imposing upon the very shrewdest. Some of them are doubtless prison birds, and belong to gangs which tell each other where they can pluck the fattest geese by the way of trade, if they never dare go twice to the same place.— The right way is to buy all you have to buy of settled merchants, who pay rents, license and clerks, and who can be held responsible if they defraud, and be avoided if they cannot be pun ished. OVER-HATING.—The great President Edwards acknowledged that almost every day of his life he had a battle and a defeat ; the determina tion before going to his dinner, that he would not eat beyond measure; and the confession af ter, that he had exceeded the limits of temper ance and moderation. A venerated name, Amos Lawrence, was •a greater coward, but a wiser min ; for the latter years of his life he did not 'dare to go to the table, but had sent to his private room only as much as was pro per for him. Many a man might add a score of years to his life-time by rigidly pursuing such a practice while at home.—Ex. Paper. Few persons, perhaps, '.'over-eat" deliberate ly. It is, generally done in haste, inattention, miscalculation, or inadvertence ; but the con sequences are the same—that is, an unmixed harm to, the whole organization. The injury manifests itself in a great number of ways, ac cording, however, to various laws; these ef fects lasting from one to a dozen hours, in •every variety of intensity, from simple discom fort to actual torture. At first there is getter - al irritability or fretfulness for a short time af ter meals, eventually extending from one meal to another, until the whole existence is a growl or a groan, according to the active or passive nature of the culprit victim, who has not only blotted out his own life, for all humane or no ble purposes, but cast a blur and a blight over the existence of all those whcse unhappy lot it has been to be placed under the same roof and to be seated at the same table. The fail ure of the cure of dyspepsia, in countless in stances, has arisen fro*two caus es pint, re lying too much on medicine; second, making another the rule foi - himself—when no two persons ever were alike in an conditions— therefore, the same result could !lever take place in any two cases. In the successful treat ment of dyspeptic disease each man must be a rule to himself, adapting everything to his in dividual needs, tastes, instincts, inclinations, temperament, station and habit of life. Let dyspeptic act upon these suggestions, and the moat happy results Will speedily folio!. , THAT CONCERT.—The Patriot and Union an nounces that "the Ladies' Union Benevolent Society of this city purpose giving a grand vocal and instrumental concert on the`evening alba. Bth of Tannery," for: the benefitiof *the poor. We are reliably informed, hat no arrangements have been made by the Society namedlor such a concert. Other parties . did contemplate .a se lect soiree for the purpose mentioned, but the present indications are that the project will be abandoned. FtINEBAL or A FIREMAN.—The funeral of Mr. W. Rich, a member of the Paxton.: tioseCom pany, took place this forenoon, and was attend ed by his late associates. The remains of the deceased were conveyed to the Railroad depot upon the hose carriage of the company, which was tastefully draped in mourning for that :purpose. The bells of the various fire comps,. nies were tolled during the march of the funeral cortege to the depot. Arriving there the re mains were taken in charge by relatives of the deceased, and conveyed . to Lancaster for interment. STILL AT LARGIE.—The preacher-tbief Hicks, recently alluded to in our columns, who stole a coat and pocket-book from Mr. Straw, of this city, is still at large. A warrant for him was placed in the hands of one of our constables some days ago, but it hae not yet been served. Hicks, who is a kind of perambulating religious exhorter, is now operatingamong the' 'heathen" in the rural districts of. Lebanon county. Such miserable hypocrites greatly damage, the cause of religion, and the church is censurable for not expelling them, and holding them up to public scorn and contempt. Eao•Noa.—As this is. the season when peo ple are apt to indulge in the luxury of egg-nog, we give the following formula for making the genuine article, which is said to be digestible and will not cause head-ache : "Take the yolk of sixteen eggs and twelve table-spoons full of pulverized loaf sugar, and beat them to the consistence of cream ; to this add two-thirds o a nutmeg grated, and beat well together; then mix in a half pint of good brandy or Jamaica rum and two wine-glasses of Madeira wine. Have ready the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff froth, and beat them into the above described mixture. When this is all done stir in six pints of good rich milk. There is no heat used. I=:=Cl "MAN KILLED." —So common has,this head-, ing became of late, that it has hist all the ror it once possessed. People now read it with out a shudder, and on looking over the item, if the name of the killed was not an' acquaint ance, they scarcely read all the partici:dais, or If they do, they will not remember it longer thtuithey are reading it. We have now to re cord 'the instant killing of a man named bleloy, who was run over by an engine at Altoona; a few days ago. He was crossing theArack, when be observed an engine coming towards him, and in endeavoring to get over quickly he slip ped and fell across thelrail and the engine ran over his breast, crushing it horribly and almost severing both arms above the elbow. How To Do IT.—We frequently hear the question asked; "What shall be - done to arrest the progress of drunkennese and rowdyism in nix oity 4" TEL* b.ant plum mro orma magsecoirieto crush out all the unlicensed leer and whiskey shops, and reduce the number of those doing a legal business. Then, in connection with the lock-up, give us a chain-gang, and the reform will soon be accomplished. Our main streets need paving badly, and there is no way in which the work can be done with less expense to the city than by means of a chain-gang ; while at the same time it wouid hold up to public scorn the many rowdies, rich and poor, who are constantly annoying community, and who cannot be got rid of by any other means. COST ON RAISING Poax.—A correspondent of the West Chester Record, writing from, Willis town, shows that , the cost of raising pork is seven cents per pound, as follows : On Saturday last, Mr. Jos. B. Showalter slaughtered a porker, sixteen months old, which weighed, when dressed, 672 lbs., heavy dressing ; clean dressing, it weighed 642 lbs., there being 30 pounds. of feet taken with the dressing, that generally_ is left in those brag hogs. It was bought from Enamor G. Griffith when a shoat, by,Showalter; and fed moderate-. ly and kept in a close pen, with a• view of-as certaining whether there was any profit in feed ing porkers, where all the feed had to be bought. We append below the following sta tidies : Original cost of shoat $ 5 60 ■Mtllfeed.... 18 60- 7 1012 bushels old corn at 700. per bushel 8 4.0 - 4 " " at 75c. " 8' 00 7 " now corn at 65c.

Efe,also had three large cellars, filled with Brandy, Wino, &p. in casks, under Custom-House key, ready for battling. idr. Wolfe's sales of Bchnapps last year amounted to one hundred and eighty thousand dozen, and wehope in. ices than two years he may be equally inuccessful with his Brrndies and Wines. • DB. G. F.

Private families who wish pure -Wines and almors for medical use should send their orders direct to Mr. Wolfe, until every Apothicary in the land Mats up their minds to discard the poisonous Muff from their shelves, and replace It with Wolfe's pure Wntss and LIQUORS. We understand fifr. Wolfe, for the accomniodatlen of small dealers in the country, puts up snorted cases of Wines and Liquors.
