HARRISBURG
Monday Afternoon, Februnry 4,,1861.
THE LADY who lost a cloth glove in Brant's
Hall last Saturday night, can obtain it at the
DAILY TELEGRAPH Office.
Fras COMPANY Marrisoi.—Stated meetings of
the Citizen, Friendship, Good Will and Paxton
Fire Companies will be held this evening, in
their respective halls, at seven o'clock.
GIINERAL Tom Twain drew another full house
on Saturday night, and the entertainment was
entirely satisfactory. He will appear for the
last time this evening. The General has been
very liberally patronized by our citizens.

AN EXTRA BUM SWI3AT.-A. gentldatr--
Danbury,' Ct., while taking what is technically
called a "rum sweat," set himself on fire, and
was only put out after great exertions. •
Which was put out? The sweat, the fire,
or the individual ?
-~••-
Stemititio.—We have - had nine consecutive
weeks of excellent sleighing. Can any one
complain of want of sleighingl—Exchange.
They are complaining at Charleston, because
the secession troops are not allowed to go a
slaying at Fort Sumter.

THE RevrvAr. Magmas in the Locust Street
Methodist Church and Fourth Street Bethel are
still in progress. Last evening the former
church was crowded to overflowing, and some
twenty or thirty penitential mourners stir
rounded the altar. Both meetings will be con
tinued during the present week.
TES Loos-llr contained five lodgers on Sat
urday night, and two last night, all perambu,
'sing vagrants. One of themiwas an old sail
or, who shipped a heavy sea of tanglefoot and
was brought to anchor in the 'retreat for fel
lows of his class. They were introduced to the
Mayor, who reprimanded and dismissed them.

Tau NATIONAL RIFLES of Mount Joy, and the
Lancaster Fencibles, it is said, are willing to
join in the parade here on the twenty4econd
of February, if invited by the committee. We
have no doubt the Carlisle, York and Reading
companies can also be induced to participate in
the demonstration, if invited in time to enable
them to make the necessary preparations. The
committee should call a meeting and actprompt
ty and vigorously.
FRUIT Gnowitas' CONVENTM.—The second
annual meeting of the "Fruit Grower's Society
of Eastern Pennsylvania;" will be held in Rend
log, commencing on Wednesday nest,. and will
probably be in session for two or three days.
We are informed that several reports and
papers of much importance to _fruit growers,
will be read by appropriate committee; and
from the character of the first meeting an in
teresting time is anticipated. Will Dauphin
county be represented in the convention?

KING Corron.—The Sluebenville Herald says :
—"Since the existing obstructions to the sea
ward transportation of cotton from the port
of Charleston to Northern cities, shipments of
that staple are now made from Memphis and
other cities, and pass in boats up the Missis
sippi and Ohio Rivers to Pittsburg, where It is
shipped by the Pennsylvania Railroad. There
were at our landing, this morning, in addition
to our two Wheeling packets, three steamers
on their way up, heavily laden with cotton,and
a goodly number of free colored persons who
find the South, at present, too hot for them."
Pazertizzer LINCOLN has determined to leave.
Springfield on Monday next, and will .pass
through here on his way to the Federal Capital,
which he expects to reach on the 26th inst. Of
course our citizens, irrespective , of party, will
unite with the Legislative Committee in giving
the President elect a fitting reception. If it
could be arranged to have President Lincoln
here on the twenty-second of February, the
time designated for elevating the American
Flag to the dome of the Capitol with appro
priate ceremonies, his presence would impart
additional interest to the occasion, and draw
an immense crowd of people to the city from
the neighboring towns and counties. We throw
out this suggestion for the consideration of
the committees of invitation and arrangements.
-.---.-
Isoasesr. or Paracureas.—We learn that a
proposition will be submitted to the next
Philadelphia Conference to send thiee preach
ers to this city—one to Locust Street, one to
West-Harrisburg, and one to Vine Street. It
is said the interests of the two congrega
tions last named require that they should be
made separate charges, the pastoral labor con
nected with them being too onerous for one
man. Our young friend, Mr. Martin, has been
very faithful during the past year, preaching
three sermons every Sabbath, in addition to
his other duties as pastor of these congrega
tions. He has performed . the work of two
men without receiving proportionate remune
ration. We think Conference will act wisely
in adopting the proposition to increase the
number of preachers.
Bswoz or LOTIERY Swmutsais.--Oar city
has never been free from those pests of society
known as "lottery venders," and , in \ addition
to these swindling agents the Post Office is
freely used for the transmission of circulars,
holding out the most tempting inducements to
those who are minnies enough to .bite at the
bait. The following is a sample of the lan
guage used :
"Many a poor man has been, through us,
soddenly raised from a life of struggling hard
ship to one of wealth, luxury and splendor..
The same chance is open to you by the expen
diture of the trifling sum of $lO ; and if you
will only once try your luck in our lottery you
will, thc*:re is little doubt, suddenly find your
self a rich man.. , -
To this is added an offer, of course made to
all, that if the holdCr of the ticket does not
draw at first $5,000, they will send another
package in an extra lottery, free of cost. Such
boldlaced and evident villainy should not,
we think deceive any perion of 'ordina
ry intelligence, yet hundreds are swindled, and
/lot a few ultimately ruined, by these devioe4.
_Wonsinuman's Cosvazrnos.—Have the work
ngmen of this,city appointed delegates to the
National Convention to ,be held in Philadelphia
on the 22d of this month? We ask for inform
ation,',not having heard of any action on the
subject. The contemplated convention will
be composed, of intelligent workingmen from
nenly, all the States of the Union, and its de.
liberations cannot fail to have great weight at
Washington. We hope to see this city and
county largely and ably represented; and if
delegates have. not already been appointed, a
meeting for that purpose should be called im
medtately.
I=l=l
Tllll STATEI ARSENAL.—Tudging from the di
lapidated condition of the tents and other arti_
cles in the State Arsenal, the keeper does not
visit that institution often. If the man who
now receives pay for taking care of the pro
perty of the State neglects his duty, the Adju
tent General should dismiss him and supply
his place with a more competent and faithful
6cer. It ia said that hundreds of tents have
been taken away and never returned, and the
few that remain in the Arsenal are in such
condition as to be unfit for use, and going to
'ruin for want of proper attention. We look
for a better condition * of things under General
Wilson's successor.
GROUND Hoe DAY.—February second was the
celebrated "ground hog day," which, according
to legend, Saes the question of an early or late'
Spring. The story goes that on that day the
ground hug—or, as the Yankeeecall it, wood
chuck—leaves his winter quarters and sallies
forth to snuff the air. If there is no sun to
show hire his shadow, he goes cautiously
about, and will even venture - to dig up a few
roots, to try the hardness of the Boil as well as
to tickle his palate a little, after his long hi
bernation. But in doing this, should a glim
mering of sunshine strike him sufficiently strong
to mark his shadow on the ground, he hies at
once to his _hole, there to hibernate for six
. weeks—as instinct teaches him that winter will
Certainly linger that much - longer. : Should
there be no patches of sunshine to disturb Mr.
Woodchuck, he remains out, knowing that the
reign of Jack Frost will speedily - terminate.—
Who saw the sun on Saturday ?
MINISTRIMAND TOBACCO.-A lady writes to a
religious paper hoping that the various denom
inations will exclude from the ministry all
preachers who use tobacco ; and that young
ladies will accept no offer of -marriage from a
young man who uses the weed In reply the
editor says :
Take care, my dear lady, you are bitting a
good many of our best clergymen. If they are
to be excluded on account of tobacco, it will
leave quite a vacuum in our ministerial -ranks.
You may expostulate with them, andeven scold
them if you will—(and we will help you, for
you do not hit us)—init when it comes to cut
ting them off--(the ministers, not the tobacco)
—we shall have to protest : This is to say, in
behalf of the old and confirmed ones. "In re
gard to young candidatea for the 'Ministry, we
care not how strict a rule may be adopted with
them on the subject.
On this it occurs to us, bow strange it is that
the denominations which go the nearestin re
spect to freedom from the old creeds,standards
and anthorities of Christendom, are the most
stringent in regard to the sinfulness of matters
unforbidden in Scripture, and which, by com:
mon consent of all ages of the Christian world,
have been tolirated. The old fashioned Athan-
Asian creed,'with its damtiatory clauses, they
are too "liberal" to accept ; but instead there
of they invent new sins (or rather add uew
items to the catalogue of sins). Thus not only
is slaveholding denounced as a sin, but the
hanging of murderers, the drinking of wine,
the smoking of tobaeco, the taking a walk on
Sunday, and divers other things with which
the old charches, notwithstanding the stern
ness of their creeds, never meddled. It would
seem that in proportion arm religious commu
nity gets easier in its dogmatic standards, it
makes amends by becoming more carping and
critical in its regulation of the social.and poli
tical relations
A Ravinizan Sconsnart.—The people of al
most every community, at some period, have
been deceived and imposed upon by hypocritical
pretenders who "steal the livery of heaven to
serve the devil in," and have the ability and
tact to play well their part. A case of the kind
has just been developed in this city, and we are
among the victims, having confided in
-and fa
vorably noticed a well recommended and seem
ingly pious stranger, who turns out to be a
miserable hypocrite and accomplished scoun
drel. For three weeks past the individual al
luded to has been the master-spirit of a highly
successful religious revival meeting in one of
our principal churches, preaching eloquent ser
mons every night, laboring with untiring zeal
for the - conversion of ,souls, infusi9g unwonted
enthusiasm into the members of the congrega
tion, and "seeming most a saint when most he
played,the devil." We refer to Reverend Dr.
Robinson, who has a family residing in Philadel
phia, and is traveling about the country, in a
ministerial capacity, accompanied, by a flashy
young woman as his mistress, said tb be a vic
tim of his seductive arts: The facts in relation
to this fellow's connection with the girl al
luded to, were fully developed on Friday eve
ning, when he received notice to quit the city ,
immediately, and was furnished with money
for that purpose. He left at three o'clock„on
Saturday morning on the western train, and
will no doubt attempt, in other towns, the
same game which he played so successfully
here for a period of three weeks. He is a min
of genteel appearance and fine address, es;
tensive'and varied imformation, a higical and
eloquent preacher, a pleasant conversationalist,
and in all respects well calculated to deceive.—
Our. Methodist friends in Altoona and Pitts
burg, which places he designed visiting, should'
be on their guard against-this hypocritical pre
tender, and close their church doors against
him. We acknowledge having been emphati
cally "sold," and for the future shall be care
ful not to confide in or commend perambulating .
revival preachers, of any denoinination, until
fully satisfied that they are what they repro.
sent themselves to be : -

Rev. Mn. Ross, of York, will preach in the
Locust Street Methodist Church this evening.
He is a worthy man and excellent preacher. A
few weeks ago Mr. Ross labored with great suc
cess in the Vine street revival meetings, and
made a highly favorable impression.
OBSERVANOB OF LENT..--the •various Catholic
Bishops are publishing regulations for Lent, to
be observed by memoirs of that religions de
nomination. Lent commences onvWednesday
the 13th of February, and the rules laid down
for fasting during the entire Lenten season, are
obligatory upon all who have completed their
twenty-first year, unless legitimately dispensed.
But one meal per day is to be taken, excepting
Sundays, and that is not to be taken until about
noon. A small collation, however, is allowed
in the evening, but no general rule as to the
quantity of food can be made. The quali
ty of food allowed at a collation is bread, but•
ter, cheese, all kinds of fruit, salads, vegeta
bles and fish. . The following persons are ex
empted from the obligation of fasting: young
persons under: twenty-one years of age, the
sick,.rwrsing women, those who are obliged to
do hard labor, and all who, through weakness,
cannot fast without prejudice to their health.
DIPTHKRIA-408T MORTEN EXAMINATION.---At
Youngstown, Ohio, a few days •since, a female
pauper died suddenly of diptheria, after having
been treated for the disease some three weeks,
and at'a time when her regarded her
as out of danger. , Just before death, she com
plained of severe rain in the , region of the
heart, and the circumstances of her sudden
death, after an apparent recovery from the dip
theria, Induced her physicians to hold a poat
naortem examination of the partssupposed to be
affected, which disclosed the fact that the
heart of the patient was diseased in-the same
manner asthe throat. On examining this or
gan they found its cavities filled with that pe
culiar fibrinous exudation which appears on the
throat. The right.ventricle was almost com
pletely filled. The left auricle also contained a
large quantity,. Which, passing through the left
ventricle, 'prevented the closure of the valves
between these cavities.- This condition of the
heart, in connection with, the diptheria, has
been reported by the Philadelphia physicians,
in cases that have come under their investiga
tion, and is supposed only to attend the more
severe instances. • -
A MYSTERIOUS CASE.—The Philadelphia, Nortb
American of this morning - contains thelollow
ing item under the above. caption . : •
On Thursday afternoon, a iespectable citizen
who was about to enter. the North Pennsylva
nia railroad cars was approached by two ladies
with a box, apparently a soap box, firm which
the trade marks bad been erased with sand:
paper, and on which the following direction
was affixed: "Mary Mencluer, Quakertown
station—care of M. Smith—Pa." The citizen,
who was requested, placed the box in a baggage
car, and expected to meet the ladies among the
passengers. To his surprise,' however, they
were not there, and he observed them retreat
ing at a rapid rate along Front street. The
following telegraphic. dispatch, which may
throw some light upon the subject, was received
by District Attorney Man on Saturday:.
QUAKERTOWN, February 2,1861. :

child was killed, befog delivered alive. We
