Macrs.—The preacher thief, Josiah B
Hicks, alluded to in our last issue, is now in
prison. He was arrested at Fredericksburg,
Lebanon county, by officer Fleck, of this city,
brought here yesterday afternoon, and commit
ted to answer the chirge of larceny. At the
time of his arrest he had on the coat with the
theft of which ho stands charged. This model
exhorter is likely to be deprived of his personal
liberty for some time to come. He might act
in die of capacity of Chaplain during his so
journ in the Walnut street institution.
TUE JONESTOWN RAPPING& —Wre learn that the
"spiritual" communications with Miss Moyer,
of Jonestown, alluded to in previous issues of
this paper, have re-commenced. Among the
various items of intelligence recently imparted
by the spiritual visitor was the joyful news
tbat she was the medium by which a large sum
of money, concealed in the earth under the
hearth of the old house, could be found. But
after digging to some depth, without success,
she concluded the work was sinful, and relin
quished it. We are disposed to regard this
whole affair as a piece of well played jugglery.

A Rom AT Leaoa.—A couple of months ago
complaint was made against two men of this
city, named Dasher and livid), for stealing
grain from Mr. Levi Care, at Manacle
The former was arrested and bound over for
trial, but the latter escaped, and is still at large.
At the last term of Court the grand jury found
a true bill against the parties, but the trial of
the case was postponed until Urich could be
arrested. He is said to be in Lebanon county,
but all efforts to capture him have thus far
proved abortive. This fellew Urich has a fam
ily residing in the sixth ward, who are report
ed to . be in destitute circumstances. His ini
quities should not be visited upon the wife and
children ; and if they are really in a suffering
condition, relief should be extended to them.
REPORTED DEATH OF A FORMER CITIZEN OF HAP,
ILIEBURG. —We learn that a letter has been re
ceived here from Orange Springs, Marion Co.,
Florida, announcing the death, at that place,
of Mr. Wm. Schabbinger, formerly a resident
of this city. The deceased was for several years
employed as bar-keeper in the old "Washington
House," and subsequently officiated in the same
capitcity wader Col. Coverly. For a few years
past he has resided in Philadelphia city, and re
cently visited the South indulging the hope that
a change of climate would restore him to health,
He was a young man of fine social qualities,
and highly esteemed by a large circle of ac
quaintances in this city. It is probable that the
Masonic fraternity, to which the deceased be
longed, will have his remains brought here for
interment in the cemetery.
&mum FEOTIVAL9.—The present is the
month of Church Festivals or Anniversaries,
and two have already occurred This, the 21st,
is the day of St. Thomas, who promulgated
Christianity among the Persians!, Medes, Per
thians and Armenians, and was stoned to death
by the Brahmins. Christmas, or the day of the
nativity of our Saviour, is already foremost in
the hearts of the young folks, and not entirely
absent from the thoughts of older persons. St.
Stephen's day occurs on the 26th. All theo
logians know full well that he was the first who
suffered for a steady adherence to the faith of
the Saviour. Added to this its the day of St.
John the Evangelist, which occurs on the 27th.
Oa the 28th occurs Candlemas, or Holy Inno
cents' day, in commemoration of the slaughter
of the innocents by that despicable potentate,
Herod, The last religious festival occurs on
the 81st, the last day of the month, namely,
St. Sylvester's day. He was a Pope, and re
ceives the credit of establishing ceitain rites in
the Roman Catholic Church, as well as increas
ing its benevolent institutions.
A JITVRNILE SAMARITAN.—Last evening a
bright-eyed, intelligent lad, (whose name we
have since learned is John Armstrong,) while
Passing along Canal street, saw a well-dressed
man lying drunk on the pavement. "That is
shameful," said he to a couple of juvenile com
panions, "let us arouse the poor man and take
him to a place of shelter." The boys agreed
to the proposition, and after a deal of shaking
succeeded in rousing the man to a state of con
sciousness. His first disposition was to attack the
lads, but little Johnny spoke so kindly to him,
and seemed to take such an interest in him,
that the miserable victim of liquid poison
finally yielded to his persuasions. Johnny held
him up, brushed the dirt off his clothes, and
with his comrades started to lead him away.—
Other boys gathered around, and one of them
espied a bottle of whiskey which the drunken
man had left behind. "Hurra !" he shouted,
"here's a bottle of whisky ; now, boys, we'll
have some fun." "No you won't I" indignant
ly shouted Johnny ; "its bad enough that men
should drink whisky, and not boys. Give me
the bottle." Snatching the "stuff," as he
termed it, he uncorked the bottle and emptied
its contents on the street. Then, returning to
to his charge, he conducted the staggering
stranger to the nearest tavern, and saw him
comfortably provided for. This young Samari
tan set an example that the police officers, and
many others, would do well to follow. He is
a good boy, a noble boy, with a pitying yet
courageous heart. The father of Johnny
Armstrong bas reason to be proud of such a son.
WANTRD.—A young Marl who is folly corn
pent and willing to make himself generally
useful in a large store. The best recommen
dations required. Apply at this office.
THE UNION PRAYER MEETING will be held in
the Presbyterian church, corner of Market
Square, tomorrow afternoon, commencing at

and most complete assortment of French Con
fectionaries ever offered for sale in this city,
bas been received at BANNVAUT'S. Persons have
only to call to be suited, and a general invita
tion is extended.
SUNDAY SCHOOL CHRISTMAS FESTIVALS.—We
learn that the officers and teachers of some of
our Sunday Schools are making preparations to
give the scholars a Christmas treat of cakes,
candies and other goad things. This custom
has long been regularly observed in various
sections of the State, and it is one to be com
mended. We suggest its adoption by all the
congregations in this city.

A THIEF DETECTED BY CHICKENS. —A grain
thief was detected at Pittsburg, the other day,
by means of some hens, who followed a trail
of scattered grain from the railroad depot,
where it was stolen, to the house of the thief.
The movements of the fowls were watched, and
on searching the man's house the stolen grain
was found and recovered The thief was ar
rested and imprisoned.
Tan BAND CONCERT comes off to-morrow even.
ing in Brant's Hall. All citizens who feel an
interest in sustaining a good Band in our midst,
should purchase tickets and patronize the con
cert. Those who do so will be pleasantly en
tertained. The members of the Band will be
assisted. by Messrs. Knoche and Haas, two ac
complished Pianists, and by Weber's String
Band and the Aurora String Band. A celebrated
vocalist of this city has volunteered his ser
vices for the occasion, and will entertain the
audience with several new and popular songs.
The object of the concert being a commend
able one, we hope to see a crowded house.
HONEST LABOR. —All the honest labor, be it
the merest handiwork, brainless and mechani
cal drudgery, dignifies human life. Better is
it to break stone or to turn a mangle than to
do nothing. Good roads and clean linen are
products of human industry which we need not
be ashamed of having a hand in creating. Let
us do the best we can. If it be not permitted
us to do work of one kind, let us brace our
selves up for work of another. And to all
of the great guild or brotherhood of workmen
let us hold out a band —a hand of assistance if
need be--anyllbw a hand of fellowship. If the
work be of much account in the world's eye,
be thankful ; if of little, be content.
A SUGGESTION.-Our City Fathers might do a
great amount of good, and themselves much
credit, by voting a weekly appropriation to en
able the keeper of the lock up to buy bread for
the half-starved wretches who nightly seek
shelter there. This outlay now devolves upon
the kind hearted Mayor, in his private capacity,
and the burden is too oppressive to be borne by
any one individual. In Lancaster and Reading
provision is made by the city authorities to
feed the hungry wayfarers who lodge in the
station-houses, for want of means to procure
other accommodations, and a similar system
should be inaugurated here.
"Cnaimass is Anton Hsaz!"—How the heart
of childhood bounds at the sound! What
visions of toys, cakes and caies glide through
their imagination. Who would not be a child,
if for nothing more that to feel the wild thrill
of ecstacy that animates the hearts of the little
ones at the approach of this season of festivity
and joy. "Christmas is almost here !" With
what eagerness it is uttered ! 0, for the bright
yet illusive dreams of youth, when the heart
was free from care, and the tempter had not
invaded the sacred precincts of the pure soul !
0, that we might throw off the burden of
years and once more revel in the delights of
the Eden we have left behind ! How the
weary man of the world longs for the refresh
ing pleasures of youth—those dreams of boy
hood long since laid aside for the stern reali
ties of life ! How he longs to stand within the
enchanted circle ! But no, it cannot be. Hap
py, joyous childhood, we look upon you with
mingled feelings of sorrow and regret—with
sorrow, because of your evanescent nature ;
with regret, that we have passed your portals
and bid adieu to all the bright fancies that are
peculiar to the hey-day of youth.

Wnoxa.—The son of a high official was ar
rested at Harrisburg last week in a disreputa
ble house, but afterwardis released. This is a
great error in the administration of justice, as
instead of the poor devils who too often find
themselves in jail here and elsewhere, it would
be far better if those called respectable were
committed to that institution as examples to
o thers.—Lewistown Gazette
The "respectable" rowdies--and they consti
tute a large class—do pretty much as they
please in this city. They can get drunk, make
night hideous with their revels, and play the
blackguard with impunity. It is only rowdies
of the lower class of society who are hunted up
by our vigilant police and lodged in the lock
up or prison. Not long since we saw an officer
arrest a partially intoxicated and inoffensive
countryman ; while but a few paces in advance
of him was one of the ton, staggering under an
immense load of tanglefoot, and coming in fre
quent and violent collision with tree-boxes
and pedestrians. The latter was not molested,
and the former weift to prison. This unjust
discrimination, by officials, in favor of " re
spectable" rowdies, is all wrong. Let equal
and exact justice be done to all offenders, no
matter what their pecuniary circumstances or
social position. The "sons of high officials"
are no better than the sons of other men ; and
when the former exhibit a total disregard of
the proprieties of life, and violate the public
peace, let them be punished accordingly. We
have no doubt theiwhole class'of "respectable"
rowdies would be benefitted by making public
examples of a few of their number. •

Horns WARD Basun= is announced to, speak
in Philadelphia this evening before the Sons of
New England. Our "savagerebs" friend Gen.
MILLER should be there. An excellent oppor
tunity would be afforded him, by the presence
of Mr. Beecher, to exhibit his skill in the use
of the butcher knife.
ORNAMENTAL—The huge piles of coal ashes
and oyster shells, which loom up on various
prominent thoroughfares, as so many monu
ments to the inefficiency of the city scavengers.
Some of the streets are ankle deep with mud,
and in a filthy condition generally. The proper
committee of Council should see that the
scavengers do their duty.
BEFORE THE MAYOR.—Three genteel looking
men were before the Mayor this morning,
having passed the night in the lock-up. The
first was Thomas Miller of Philadelphia ; the
others Lewis Smith and Fernando Gold of New
York city. They reported themselves as me
ehanics in search of employment, en route for
the west. They were out of money and volun
tarily sought shelter in the "traveler's re
treat," of which Dan Callender is the very
obliging superintendent.
THE OLD SOLDIERS.-PETITIONS FOR PENSIONS.
Petitions to Congress, asking the passage of a
law granting pensions to the surviving soldiers
of the war of 1812, or the widows of such as
are dead, are in circulation for signatures. The
form will answer for any part of the• Union, and
persons interested should have the same copied,
signed and forwarded to their Representatives
in Congress as early as. practicable. We pre
sume petitions for Dauphin county may be had
on application to the secretary of the "Old
Soldiers' Association" of this city.
ANOTHER BEEIEDY FOR Sons THROAT.—As dis
eases of the throattare unusually prevalent in
this city just now, any remedy known to be
effective should be made public. The follow
ing, furnished by a lady to the Syracuse Journal,
is pronounced to be infallible :
"A small quantity of sheep's suet, say a
spoonful, chopped fine, and boiled in a gill of
milk, and drank on retiring to bed. Of course
the throat is to be bound with flannel. A friend
triend the experiment on Monday, and although
she was so hoarse on retiring to bed that she
could not make herself be heard, she was able
to converse freely the next morning, and at
noon on Tuesday had so far recovered as to be
able to appear on the street. Yesterday she
resumed her usuaf 'avocations. Let those who
are afflicted with sore throat try the remedy,
and those who do not need it should cut this
paragraph out and preserve it for future re
ference."

PROF. 0. J. Woon dr Co.:—Gents :—The letter I wrote
you in 1858 concerning your valuable Hair Restorative,
and which you have published in this city and elsewhere,
has given rise to numerous enquiries touching the facts
In the case. The enquiries are, test, is it a fact of my
habitation and name, as stated in the communicatio n ;
second, is it true of all therein contained; third, does my
hair still continue to be in good order and of natural
color? To all I can and do answer invariably. Sty hair
is even better than in any stage of my IEO for 40 years
past, more soft, thrifty, and better colored; the same Is
true of my whiskers, and the only cause why it is not I
generally true, is that the:substance is washed off by
frequent ablution of the face, when if care were used by
wiping the face in close connection with the whiskers,
the same result will follow as the hair. I have been in
the receipt of a great number of letters from all parts of
New England, asking me if my hair still continues to be
goad ; ae there is so mach fraud in the manufacture and
sale of various compounds as well as this, it has, no
doubt been basely imitated and been used, not only
without any good effect, but to absolute injury. I have '
not used any of your Restorative of any account for some
months, and yet my hair is as good as ever, and hund
reds have examined it with surprise, as I am now 61
years old and not a gray hair in my head or on my face;
and to prove this feet, I send you a lock of my hair taken
off the past week. I received your far or of two quart
bottles last summer, for which I am very grateful. 'I
gave it to my friends and thereby induced them to try
it, many were skeptical until after trial, and then pur
chased and used It with universal success. I will ask as
a favor, that you send me a test by which I can - discover
fraud in the Restorative, sold by many, I fear, without
authority from you. A pure article will insure success,
and I believe where good effects do not follow, the Milner
is caused by the impure article, which curses the invent
or of the good. I teem it my duty as heretofore, to keep
you apprised of the continued effect on my hair, as I as
sure all who enquire of me of my unshaken opinion of
its valuable results. I remain ; dear air; yours,
A. C. RAYMOND.
AARONS Ruse, Ky., Nov. 50, 1858.
Prof. 0. J. Wood: Dear Sir.—.l would certainly be doing
you a great injustice nut to make known to the world
the wonderful, as well as the unexpected result I have
experienced from using one bottle of your Hair Resttora
live. After using every kind of Restoratives extant, but
without success, and finding my head nearly destitute of
hair, I was finally induced to try a bottle of ycur Hair
Restorative. Now, candor and justice compel me to an
r ounce to whoever may read this, that I now possess a
new and beautiful growth of hair, which I pronounce
richer and handsomer than the original was. I will
therefore take occasion to recommend this indhluable
remedy to all who may feel the necessity of it.
Respectfully yours,
REV. S. ALLEN BROCK.

thoughtl I was dreaming. Quite wild with surprise
For in instant I closed both my mouth and my oast
The former, lest speaking the spell I might break,
The latter to prove I was really awake.
Above me, beside me, before me, around,
Was scattered the semblance of all that's been found
Remarkable, beautiful, laughable, gay,
Since the world was created. e'en down to to day.
Each object was fraught with most wonderful grace,
And look where I would, naught but beauty I'd face.
The mist of bewilderment passing away,
I noticed a camel hitched fast to a dray,
Who qu'etly pulling his burden along,
Preceded a queer but magnificent throng
Of poets, and princes, musicians and nuns,
Corsleted knights, and soldiers with guns,
Shepherds and students, peasants and kings,
Women in wooden shoes, ladies with wings,
All on a pilgrimage, bound for a shrine
Called—Please guess its name, for their secret's not
mine.
In a grove in their rearan elephant grazed,
While hone and tigers lookeden quite amazed
At an ox, who declared—the benevolent beast—
He was fattening himself for a Christmas feast.
Some reindeers from Lapland, some birds from Brazil,
Each bolding a diamond, or pearlin its biil ;
Arabian horses, and stately giraffes,
A grum looking bear, which actually laughs,
Alligators from Egypt, and hogs from Japan,
A monkey which danced quite as well as a man,
American sheep whose musical bass
Were accompanied by donkey's more musical brays,
All peacefully shared the delights of that grove,
And seemed ruled by no power stronger than love.
A few steps beyond was assembled a group
Of Chinamen dining on rich kitteffsoup.
While Japanese Tommy, the witty young noodle,
Regaled them with snatches from old Yankee Doodle.
A venerable-schoolmaster sat in a corner,
His name I believe was Mynheer Dinglesformer,
Teaching twenty-four urchins, asnear him they stood,
Their ah, bay, tray lesson. The sight did me good.
Behind him an arsenal cooly revealed
Its treasures of cannon, swords, lances and shield,
But each from its duty bad found a release,
For the motto that ruled, was "In Union there's peace
Garibaldi played checkers with kings in disguise,
John Brown promenaded with Henry A. Wise,
And Blue Beard who killed his inquisitive wives
Was giving Paul Pry an account of their lives.
Uncle Tom and hie Cabin was there in great state
Surrounded by friends, both the small and the great.
John Gilpin was taking his unlucky ride,
While honest Ben Franklin Jogged on by his side.
S .me horrid old ogres I saw with surprise,
Rocked dear little babies ; while fairies with eyes
Bright as candles, and dresses of snowiest White
Looked on with expression of purest delight.
Swiss cottages, sheep-folds, villages, towns,
Dogs dressed up like dandies, old witches and clowns,
Lord Chesterfield changed to a smart suple Jack,
Whiskernudoes who spring at a touch from a sack,
Victoria's bed with its rich silken folds,
And sweetmeats to heal the most obstinate colds ;
Thedevellest bonbons for Christmas trees,
Innumerable puzzles one's patience to tease.
My brains must be swept with a magical broom
E'er I tell all laaw in this wonderful room ;
At length glancing upward, lo I who did I see
But old Santa Claus looking down upon me.
The darling old gentlemau'looks as of yore,
He makes his head-quarters at FRLIXS' store;
And all that is comical, excellent, rare,
You'll find at his rooms—No. 10 Market Square.

Wolfe's Pure Jamaica and St. Croix Rum

I beg leave to call the attention of the citizens of the
United Status to the above Wawa and Lumens, imported
by ljdolpho Wolfe, of New York, whose name is fami
liar in every part of this country for the purity of his
celebrated Seeman Scmusra. Mr. Wolfe, in his letter
to me, speaking of the purity of his Wises and Izquosis,
says : will stake my reputation as a man, my stand
ing as a merchant of thirty years' residence in the City
of New York, that all the BRANDY and Wens which I
bottle are pure as Imported, and of the beat quality, and
can be relied neon by every purchaser." Every bottle
has the proprietor's name on the wax, and a lac simile
of his signature on the certillette. The public are re
spectfully invited to call and examine for themselves.—

DR. G. F. BIGELOW,
Boston
Enormous Butinass FOE ONE NEW YORK efsactuar.—
We are happy to inform our feinw-citizens that mere Is
one place in our city where the physician, apothecary,
and country merchant, can go and purchase pure Wines
and Liquors, as pure as imported, and of the best 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 Udolpho Wolfe's ex
tensive Warehouse, Nos. 18. 20 and 22 Beaver street,
and Nos. 17, 19 and 21, Marketfield street. His stock of
Schnapps on hand ready for shipment could not have
been less than thirty thousand cases; the Brandy, some
ten thousand cases—Jintages of 1836 to 1856 ; and ten
thousand cases of Madeira, Sherry and Pirt Wine,
Scotch and Irish Whisky:Jamaica and St. Croix Rum,
some very old and equal to any in this country. He also
had three large cellars, Riled with Brands, Wine, &c., in
casks, under Custom-House key, ready for bottling. Mr.
Wolfe's sales of !Schnapps last year amounted to one
hundrid and eighty thousand dozen, and we hope In lvs
than two years ho may be equally successful with his
Brrndies and Wines.
His business merits the patronage of every lover of his
species. Private families who wish pure Wines and
I.lquors for medical use should send their orders direct
to Sir. Wolfe, until every Apothecary in the land make
up their minds to discard the poisonous stuff from their
shelves, and replace it with Wolfe's pure Winss and
LIQUORS.
WO understand Mr. Wolfe, for tile accommodation of
small dealers in the country, puts up assorted cases of
Wines and Liquors. Such a man, and such a merchant,
should be sustained against Lis tens of thousands of op
ponents in the United States, who sell nothing but imita•
tions, ruinous alike to health and human happiness.
