that county, will urge him for the Speakership
of tha Senate. He Is a courteous and dignified
gei,tleman, fully competent for the position,
and would make an excellent presiding officer.
GOSS Homs.—The Honorably] Win. M. Ste
wart, of Mercer, John Covode of Westmore
land, and J. K. Moorehead, of Allegheny,
passed through this city yesterday, en route for
their homes, the House having adjourned until
Monday neat. The last named gentleman is a
candidate for United States Senator.

IN Lacs.— Our reportorial biother of the
Centre Democrat acknowledges the receipt of a
new and elegant hat and handsome coat. -We
congratulate the Colonel on his good luck.—
Hero in Harrisburg editors are not so well ap
preciated, and never have occasion to make such
"acknowledgments." We could do it right
,bandsomely, however, if somebody would give
~us an opportunity to "spread" ourself.
CLOSED OR THE HOLIDAYS.- All the public and
private schools of our city closed last evening,
in order that the pupils may enjoy the Christ
mas holidays. The South Ward schools will re
open on Wednesday, the second of January,
and those of the North Ward on Monday the
7th. No portion of the community look with
more delight to the approach of the annual
Christmas festival than the juveniles, or enjoy
with greater zest its pleasures and merry greet
ings. May they have a good time.
=I
CHERCH DECORATIONS AND MUSIC. - The
churches of this city which formally observe
the Christmas festival, are now being hand.
somely decorated with cedar and holly for the
occuElon. This is a commendable custom, and
we hope it will never become obsolete. The
church choirs are also tuning up for the occa
sion, and some excellent music may be expect
ed on Christmas morning. The ceremonies in
the Catholic churches wilt ba of a very impo
sing and impressive character, and no doubt
both will be largely attended by citizens of all
religious denominations.
AiII3AULTING Wousx.—The city of Harrisburg
is not the only place where women are assaulted
and insulted on the streets. In York, the other
night, a young woman, who had been at a reli
gious meeting, was approached on her way home
by a desperate scoundrel who seized her, thrust
his thumb in her mouth to prevent her raising
an alarm, and dragged her into an alley, with
we design of violating her person. The girl
bit his thumb as severely as she could, when
the scoundrel made a violent jerk to free him
self, and in the effort broke out three of her
teeth 1 She then escaped and got home with
out further violence,
Wu. H. Asiorramea, Esq., the young and
talented Representative from Lyooniing county,
delivered his lecture on "Italy" at Milton last
Thursday evening. As Mr. Armstrong will be
here during the session of the Legislature, we
hope an effort will be made to induce him to
Savor our citizens with the same lecture, or his
lecture on "Egypt" which is so highly spoken
of by all who have had the pleasure of hear
. it. Nu doubt Mr. Armstrong would accept
n Inyitation to that effect, and we throw out
,the suggestion for the benefit of the Young
Hen's Christian Association, if they choose to
act upon it. The gifted and eloquent lecturer
would not fall to attract a large audience.
Tus LOGAN Guano don't like the smell of
coal oil, and have resolved not to attend the in
auguration of Governor Curtin, There will be
a grand parade on that occasion, nevertheless;
and the "Logan Guards" will not be missed.—
The action of the " bold roger boys" reminds
Os of the wondrous wise man who "jumped
to a - briar bush and scratched out hoth his
eyes." After the ridiculous position assumed
by the "Logan Guards"" on the Wide-Awake
question, we sincerely rejoice in their determina
tion not to visit our city on inauguration day.
Governor Packer, who made himself equally
ridiculous, will appreciate their action, if no
body else does.
Smoot. Exansrrtos.—A. series of very inter
esting exhibitions took place, the peat week, is
the select tchool of Mr. Robert M'Elwee and
sister, on Front street. The exercises consisted
of singing and speaking, and the pupils perform
ed their respective parts in snob a way as to do
credit to themselves and their excellent teach
ers. The parents of many of the children at
tended, and were not only highly pleased with
the entertainment, but gratified with the rapid
progress made by theie littte ones under the e
fts:dive and judicious training of the principals
of this model primary school. It is the beet
institution of the kind in our city, and we take
pleasure in emending it to the patronage of
parents who have boys and girls to educate.
Snmstuuma Somata iN Cromon.—We clip the
following from the city item department of a
late number of one of our Philadelphia ex
changes. itr. Torrence im highly esteemed
and well known in this city:—
The estimable agent of the Pennsylvania
Bible Society, Reverend I. H. Torrence, deliv
ered sermon at the Mount Zion Methodist
Episcopal Church, on Sunday night last. This
church is the leading Methodist Episcopal
church of Manayunk. In the course of his
sermon the Reverend gentleman alluded to
the troubles of the country. It had been ru
mored on the previous evening that President
Buchanan was about to resign. In remarking
this the speaker used this language :
OUST THAT IT MAT as so." There was an im
mediate response from every part of the audi.:
since: "Juno I Amur I" The scene was one of
the most ludicrous and surprising we ever
witnessed. The Reverend gentleman had
toughed a chord ha the haute of the peopb6
DirriimirA. —The number of deaths from dip
theria in the United States, during the past
year, is said to be no less than 10,000.

city at the p, esent time is Elisba W. ll.ivis,
Etq., of Venango county. This gentleman is a
member elect of the next Legislature, and a
prominent candidate for speaker of the House.
He has experience and ability to qualify him
for the position.

which are pronounced the best in use. See his
advertisement In to•day's paper.
==:l
Ma DASD Coacurr.—All lovers of music
who wish to enjoy a rich treat, and spend a
pleasant evening, should attend the State Cap
ital Band Concert to-night. The members will
appear for the first time in' their new and beau
tiful equipments, consisting of a blue cap with
white and red plume, blue frock coat trimmed
with gilt lace and buttons, black pantaloons
with gilt stripe, and black patent leather belt.
The uniform is the neatest of the kind we have
ever seen, and our excellent Band will now ex
cel, in appearance, any similar association in
the country. Go and take a look at them.
INFLUENOD OF ma TBISORAPIL —The Patriot
and Union insists that our course toward Demo .
crate "took the Convention of last winter to
Reading, instead of being held here." If
this statement be true, we think the mass of
our people will acknowledge that we did the
city good service. Hope our efforts to drive
away the equally corrupt "borers," mercenary
"black-mallors," and gamblers, who infest the
Capital every winter, may be equally successful.
The Patriot and Union is unceasing in its efforts to
keep the Republican Wide-Awakes from visit
ing our city on the occasion of Governor Cur
tin's inauguration ; but whether its "personal
abuse" of them will have the desired effect, re
mains to be seen.
FAT Roo Meats.—The mania for raising fat
hogs, so prevalent for some years past, seems
to be on the increase. Almost every paper we
open contains accounts of the slaughter of hogs
weighing five or six hundred pounds. Similar
announcements have been made in this paper
within a short time. We have no exalted opin
ion of hog diet, especially of those overgrown
animals, and think there is entirely too much
of it used for health. It is well known that
plants and animals are variously affected by the
food and nourishment used in sustaining them.
It is therefore not surprising that the greasy
accumulations of these fat porkers should en
gender not only diseases of the skin, but have
the effect of assimilating the mind and tempera
ment of the individual to that of the animal
upon which he depends for subsistence.
Tao HOLlDA2B.—Seasons roll around, and we
are nearly on the threshold of another Christ
mas day. Nothwithstanding the fluctuations
of stocks, the rise and fall of grain, or the ex
citement of political strife, there is one season,
the anniversary of the advent of our Saviour,
when there comes a calm in human passions
and all hearts are earnestly engaged in prepar
ing votive offerings to friends and relatives.
This is certainly a beautiful feature of the hu
man family, and one which we trust will al
ways be cherished. Now the loving wife is
carefully considering whether a new' dressing
gown, an elegant but comfortable pair of slip
pen, or an embroidered vest, each of which are
to be in part or whole representatives of her
handiwork, will be the most appropriate as a
Christmas gift to her spouse. While he, on
the other hand, is divided in his thought as to
whether that new set of furs, that elegant dress
or some other beautiful female adornment,
shall be his memento of the festal season. It
is a busy time for the girls, too. The Misses,
from ten years of age, and upwards, are now
engaged in high and mighty conclave—theneil
lea and twists, Shetland and Berlin wools,
beads, eto.,'are to be seen mysteriously lying
about, and wonderful are the expedient/y . lor
keeping all this paraphernalia out of the sight
of fathom mudf;t 4o t4ers- the little pragleii
are nowearilblif =undid,* their - *Wren'
savings, and anxiously computing how,. many
"Christmas Presents" tbeli,little all Will coat
pass—generously appropriating something for
every member of the household, from the do
mestic to the grandmother--totally rew 'tidiests
of the rides of arithmetic. Now the good
housewife is mindful that at the coming season
every member of the family must be remem
bered—a gay dress for Annie or Mary is pro
vided—collars and warm cuffs are contributed
by the junior members—and Biddy, the fami
ly 'help," is not forgotten. Even the little
"swill" boy,". whose patient visits during the
year are remembered, is provided with some
thing that will cheer his own humble home.
Thus all hearts are warmed and expanded on
the occasion of this blessed anniversary. That
most lovely all the virtues, benevolence, is
brought into active play, and the bright spots
of human nature are seen in bold relief. We
do not counsel extravagance—let every one
keep within his proper bounds—but we do
regard it as exercising a most benifloent effect
upon our natures, this revered custom of gifts
upon the anniversary of that day when religion's
greatest boon, a Saviour, was bestowed upon a
benighted and sin -stricken world. May all the
readers of the Termaamr, rich and poor, real

CMS roa DIPTHERIA.-A lady of Port Byron,
Cayuga county, N. Y., has cured six children
(five of them her own) of diptheria, by the
following remedy : "When the symptoms are
drat discovered, take Spanish flies, pound and
mix them with Venice turpentine, spread it on
a piece of soft cloth and bind it on the throat,
which will raise a blister, and soon remove the
disease from the throat."
CERIVINAS Tessa—This morning the market
was lined with "Christmas Trees," and hun
dreds were purchased at prices varying from
five cents to two shillings, according to size and
quality. What a jubilant time there will be
among the juveniles of our city next Tuesday
morning, when they come to see their trees
loaded with the pretty gifts of their jolly old
patron saint " Santa Claus." All parents who
are blessed with children, should set np "Christ- -
mas trees" and decorate them to the extent of
their pecuniary ability.
A Poinc GM—Below are a few exquisite
lines to which we invite the especial attention
of those who are constantly complaining of the
vicissitudes of life, and who are only satisfied
that their view should be taken, from the side
which is dark and cheerless :
annum RUDY. —Preparations are every
where making for the advent of Christmas.—
The young folks are likely to have a merry
time of it, for never was there larger stocks of
beautiful presents to tickle the palate and daz
zle the eye, than can now be seen displayed in
the windows and' on the shelves of the con
lectionary and fancy stores of our city. Among
those who advertise "Christmas Gifts," none
present a more tempting display than our
friend Kama, the enterprising Druggist, No.
91, Market street, and we advise all in Search of
gifts, useful and ornamental, to drop in at his
elegantly arranged store.
A PROFUSION or POULTRY.—There was an un
usually large supply of turkeys and geese,
ducks and chickens, is market this morning,
which sold at fair prices. Judging from the
large number of well-filled baskets carried
home, the tables of most of our citizens will be
loaded with "good things" on Chietmas day,—
Yet, sad thought, there are scores in community
whose limited means will not permit them to
indulge in the pleasures and luxuries incident
to this festive, gift-giving season. Therefore—
• Ye who live 'mid ease and plenty,
Rope e'er smiling on your way,
By your firesides In comfort,
Gaily whilingnight away,
Should a weary, careworn stranger
Sick at heart, friendless, poor,
Ask bat a pittance, do not tarn •
Your back upon him ; do not spurn
Rim rudely from your door.
Tux Acts ON Titiat.—We have too many talk
ers in community these times. Who fLas ever
attended a school examination, the dinner OA
society of any description, or any scene where
people congregate, without meeting with the
inevitable bore or bores, who cannot'be laughed
down nor gagged by any hint that can be
thrown out ? "Not only are sensible people who
sometimes attend political meetings insulted
by the unfledged spread-eagle fustian of half
grown boys and fellows to whom years fail to
impart discretion ; but society is afflicted by
pests who can no more think of permitting a
number of people assembled within earshot to
escape without inflicting on them a doise of rig
marole, than Jem Beggs would "move on under
a shilling." In the case of men of superior in
tellect, who have given their days to thought
and their nights to the "midnight oil," who
have diecovered new secrets of nature, or found
a clue to the mysteries by which hutnan exist
ence is environed, orfshOlaf grasp - - of - thought
and power of influencing the Minds of others,
enable them to lead their fellow-men through
the peril 'Of a national crisis ; if Is 'a duty on
their part to speak and a privilege for auditors
to listen ; but such men can no longer find a
hearing; and their voices, if raised, would be
drowned in the general splutter of garrulous
mediocrity, as a caged nightingale would find
it useless to compete with - the caddis:lgs of
barn yard. A little more thinking and a great
deal less talk would be a vast improvement;
and would load to an Increase of dignity and
wisdom in legislation, and relieve society, from
a boredom, submission to which shows that
there must be a fund of patience at the oom
mend of the people which, if exerciselln the
right direction, could not fail to compromise
all the political difficulties that can ever arise
among the different members of the confederacy.

Comm.—The sudden changes of our climate
are sources of Pulmonary, Bronchial and Asthmatic Af
fections. Experience having proved that simple reme
dies often act speedily and certainly when taken in the
early stages of the disease, recourse should at once be
had to "Brown's Bronchial Trochee," or Lozenges, let
the Cold, Cough, or Irritation of the Throat be ever so
alight, as by this precaution a more serious attack may
be warded off. Public Speakers and Singers will find
them effectual for clearing and strengthening the voice.

Of poets, and princes, musicians and nuns,
Coraleted knights, and soldiers with guns,
Shepherds and students, paean* and Icings, •
Women in wooden shoes, ladies with wings,
All on a pilgrimage, bound for a shrine
Called—Please guess Be name, for
. their secret's not
mine.
In a grove in their rear an elephant grazed,
While Pons and tigers looked on quite amazed
At an ex, vr.lio declared—the benevolent beurt.
He was fattening himself fora Christmas emit
Some reindeers from Lapland, some birds from Brazil,
Bach bolding a diamond, or permit's Its bill;
Arabian horses, and stately giraffes,
A grunt looking bear, which actually laughs,
Alligators from Egypt, and hogs from Japan,
A monkey which danced quite as well as aMall.
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 Chleamen dining on rich kitten soup.
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 ifirchecr Dinglestermer,
Teaching twenty-four urchins, aSn.car Mtn they stood,
Their eh, bay, tray lesson. The sight did me good.
•
Behind him an arsenal cooly revealed
Its treasures of cannon, swords, lances end 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 Peal Pry an account of their live.
Uncle Tom and his 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 Franklidi jogged On by his side.
9 me horrid old ogres I saw with surprise,
Booked dear little babies ; while fairies with eyes
Bright as candles, and dresses of snowiest white
Looked on with expression of purest delight.
Swiss cottages, sheepfolds, villages, towns,
Dogs dressed up like dandles, old witches and clowns,
Lord Chesterfield changed to a smart suple Jack,
Whiskerandoes who spring at a touch from a sack,
Victoria's bed with its rich silken folds,
And sweetmeats to heal the most obstinate colds;
The loveliest ton bons for Christmas trees,
Innumerable putales one's patience to tease.
My brains must be swept with a magical broom
E'er I tell ail I saw In this wonderful room ;
At length glancing upward, tot who did I see
But old Santa Claw looking down upon me. •
The darling old gentleman looks as of
_yore,
He makes his head•quarters at FEE.M.I , store;
And all that is comical, excellent, rare,
You'll Ind at his rooms—No. 10 Market Square.

Read the following from the New York Courier
Earovatous Bcaiwass FOR ONE New Yoex
We are happy to inform our lePow-citizens that there 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 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 Udolpho Wolfe's ex
tensive Warehouse, Nos. 18. 20 and 22 Beaver street,
and Nos. 17, 19 and 21, Marketdeld street. His stocker
Schnapps on hand ready for shipment could net have
been less than thirty thousand CMOS; the Brandy, some
ten thousand cases—Vintages of 1836 to 1866 ; and tea
thousand cases of Madeira, Sherry and Port Winn,
Scotch and Irish Whisky, Jamaica and St. Croix Runt,
some very old and equal to any in this country. He also
bad three large cellars, filled with Brands, Wine, Am., in
caaks, under Custom-House key, ready for bottling. Mr.
Wolfe's salea of schnapps last year amounted to one,
hundred and eighty thousand dozen, and we hope in lees
than two years he may be equally psuccatsful with his
Brrndies and Wines.
His business merits the patronage of every lover of his
species. Private families who wish pure Winos and
JAqUOrEI lbr medical use should send their orders dire.:!
to Mr. Wolfe, until every Apothecary in ,the land melte
up their minds to discard the poisonous stuff Whin 'their
shelves, and replace it with Wolfe's pure Wens' and
LIQUORS.
We understand Mr. Wolfe, for the accommodation or
small dealers in the country, puts up assorted cases of
Wines and Liquors. Such a man r and.such merchnnt,
should be sustained against Its tens of thousands of op
ponents is the United States, who sell nothing but imita
tions, ruinous alike to health and human liappilltSl3,
