A stated meeting, of the Washington Hose Com
pany will be held at the hose house this (Friday)
evening at seven o'clock. Punctual attendance is
rewired.
SLIPPERY.—The pavements yesteTday morning
were exceedingly dangerous to pedestrians. If
they continue so to-day people will do well to
sprinkle ashes on them—that is, those who have
net already attended to this duty.
BEFORE TER MAYOR.—John Harman, a revolver,
and Edward Boyle, in search of a "home for the
homeless," were turned out of the leck-np pester
day morning, and permitted to pursue their jonr-
Rey .
POOR HOUSE APPOINTMENTS.—Dr. Mish has been
re-elected surgeon and physician of 'the Poor
Boise for the year 1861, and Mr. Pants has been
re-elected clerk of the Board of Directors. The
Steward, whose name we did not learn, has also
been continued for the current year.
RAILROAD ACCIDZST.—JaDICS Moss, of Columbia
a flagman on the Pennsylvania. Railroad, had one
of the fingers of the left hand taken off and two
others severely crushed on Tuesday, while in the
act of coupling freight cars near Lancaster. He
was taken to the office of Dr. J. L. Atlee, Sr., who
attended to the injuries.
THE ALLEGED CONFESSION.—The statement go
ing the rounds of the press that a man died at
Pottsville, Pa., and on his dying bed confessed
that he participated in the murder of Miss Bavor,
is Berks county, and that he gave the name of the
principal in the bloody deed, is untrue. N 3 such
confession has been made.
Gonn.—Well, young ladies, leap year is passed,
and those of you who did not take our advice and,
as the preachers say, "improve the occasion,"
cannot blame us that the year 1861 finds you run
ning into old maids. However, don't despair; re
member we read in the Bible of a young lady who
AU not married until she was over five hundred
years of age. Think of that!
DEATH OF A. RBITENIIII OFFICER.—A dispatch
from Eastport, Maine, announces the death of
Capt. John L. Prouty, of the revenue cutter Jack-
Eon. He died last Friday.
The above vacancy leaves an opening for our
former fellow-townsman, Lieut. John Carson, who
was next in command to the late Capt. Prouty on
the same stollen . We hope that in due time we
will learn of Tie promotion of Lieut. Carson, a fact
which will be gratifying to his numerous friends
and admirers ht this city.
MAN SCALDED.—A man named Frederick Riney,
in the employ of the Pennsylvania railroad com
pany, was so badly scalded at the Round House on
Wednesday evening that his life is despaired of.—
He took up an engine, and while working at the
head-bolt the cap suddenly flew off, when a stream
of hot water and steam poured over him. Mr. Hi
ney is a man of family, and resides in Second
street, where he now lies in a vary critical condi-
tion.
HOTEL CHANGES.—Sheriff Hoffman has become
the proprietor of the White Hall Hotel, but will
also keep open the stand heretofore occupied by
him until the first of April, when Mr. 13. Peters,
who has purchased it from Mr. Stahl, will take
possession. Mr. Turbett, we understand, has bought
the good will and fixtures of the Franklin House.
A Mr. Thompson, of Thompeontown, we learn,
leased the - United States Hotel from the first of
April next, but subsequently purchased the Susque
hanna Rouse. The latter is an eligibly located
stand, and when properly refitted and the repairs
put neon it which it properly demands, cannot fail
to do an excellent badness.
DISSATISFIED WITS THE - UNITED STATES OVUM .
The citizens of Philadelphia, dissatisfied with the
inaccuracies of the United States census, and be
lieving that their resident population far exceeds
that allowed them by official returns, are having
the population counted over again by enumerators
t>f their own. The census exhibits that while
Philadelphia has 5,118 more dwellings houses than
New York and Brooklyn combined, her resident
population is nearly 250,000 less than that of the
former city alone—a discrepancy which the Preis
thinks the amended returns . will correct in favor of
Philadelphia, and show her to be possessed of
near or quite 650,000 inhabitants, 82,000 more
than is assigned her by the nensus.
REPORTED SHOOTINO OF GEN. CADWALLADER, or
PHILADELPHIA, NEAR Havaz-DE-GRACE.--A re
port reached Philadelphia on Monday last, from
a source which entitles it to credit, to the effect that
Gen. George Cadivallader, of Philadelphia, had
been shot and seriously injured on Saturday, on
Bush river, Harford county, where he owns sev
eral ducking shores. In the absence of the par
ticulars of the affair, it is inferred by the friends
of the General in this city that the shooting was
the act of some party engaged in the unlawful kill
ing of ducks from "sink-boats," and against whom
Gen. Cadwallader was known to be engaged in
bringing the law to bear. Neither the nature nor
extent of the wound was known. The General
was removed to Philadelphia, where he resided.
SCIENTIFIC RIFLE SELOOTINE.-It should, iu these
lays of sanguinary portent, afford Mt 46 Mgt Con
'elation to know that the killing of a combatant in
battle is averse to the " true art" of war, as we
learn from Col. Peard, "Garibaldi's Englishman,"
who is reported to have said of rifle shooting in
rear :
"Mind, if ever you go rifle shooting, use your
rifle in a scientific manner. Recollect always not
to kill your man but to wound him; then it takes
two men to carry him off, and those two men never
by any chance come beck the same day. With a
double-barrelled rifle, therefore, you may get rid
of six men at each discharge."
should our present dithetiltieli unhappily resolve
themselves into an appeal to arms—whielt humanity
lorbid--we trait our military may be found perfect
in the "ientfilc" use of the rib; end other
weapons. • ,
A HARD CASE.—On Taosley evening a German
called upon the Mayor, and made complaint that
he bad no abiding place, no change of clothing,
and his body was covered with vermin ! This was
a new case for the Mayor, not on the books, and
without precedent in his experience. He was at a
loss how to proceed. There was no such thing as
issuing an ejectment against the sovereign squat
ters, and it was not good policy to introduce them
'll3O the city feather high to the infinite injury of
future lodgers—neither would it do to send him to
jail. He advised the poor man to do the best he
could until morning, when he would 'get him a
permit to go to the Alms House. An order to that
effect was issued and signed by the Mayor, and
countersigned by District Attorney Herr, and the
man went out to the farm. Later in the day he
returned, declaring that the Steward or overseer
would not receive bile is a shocking piece
of cruelty ; if the Mayor, as a committing Magis
trate, and the District Attorney are vested with
less power than the keeper of the Poor House, it is
right that the people should know it. The man in
question is literally being eaten up with vermin,
and must die in the street if some relief is nut af
forded him.
Yesterday morning he again visited the Mayor's
office, and said he had friends in Pittsburg if be
could only get there. The Mayor gave him some
money, and a letter to the railroad authorities, but
for some reason he was not taken—probably be
cause it would not do to take him in a passenger
train, and in a c attle ear he would be likely to
freeze crossing the mountain. Truly his is a hard
case.
POLITICS AND RELIGION.—The N. Y. Christian
Advocate publishes an elaborate article on the ef
fects of political campaigns en religions progress.
The evil results of the former are very plainly
shown in the statistics of the NE. E. Church. Says
the writer: The increase of the membership in the
campaign year of 1848 was 7,508, while the ave
rage of the three succeeding years was 27,869,
nearly four times as many. The increase during
the campaign yeas. of 1852 was 6,896, while the
average of the three succeeding years was 16,91.
The increase of the year of the Fremont campaign,
when the elegry went into the work of defining
political duty, was 896. lod showed his approval
of their faithfulness to the cause of liberty by
giving an increase of .57,973 for the three succeed_
ing Years. The same is true as regards the Sun
day School. The average increase of the three
Presidential years referred to has been 229 schools,
while the average increase of the remaining nine
years has been 614. The same result has been
clearly shown in all the departments of labor. It is
less clearly shown, perhaps not at all, in the depart
ment of finance.
DIXIE.—The power of popular music was well
illustrated in Hartford, Conn., on Christmas Eve .
A supper was given to the children of the "Morgan
Street Mission School," and the press says every
thing passed off* as decorously as a Sunday School
should, until, whilst they were devouring the)
"goodies," the band struck up "Dixie:" In an in
stant the boys were singing, at the top of their
voices—
"I wish I was in Dixie—
Hooray ! Hooray !
In Dixie's land take my stand
And lib and die in Dixie's. land !
Away, away, away down sonf in Dixie."
The teacher's tried to look grave, and said
"s-s-h-h!" with a warning finger lifted; but it was
no use; they gave it up, and joined in the song
and the general amusement. It was not exactly a
Sunday School song, but seemed to do the boys a
"heap o' good." Said a grinning little darkey,
rolling the whites of his eyes up to the city mis
sionary, "We couldn't help it, Massa. If dey didn' t
want us to sing Dixie, de band no business to play
such jolly tunes !"
COTTON AND Frax.—The Rhode Island Society
for the encouragement of domestic industry, at its
last session appointed a committee to investigate
the subject of flax cotton, and its probable value
and tamability as a substitute for cotton. The
Providence Journal, in speaking of the action of
of the committee, says : The manufacture of flax
cotton, its extent and prospects, was again brought
before the Standing Committee, and elicited an
interesting discussion; in the course of which it
appeared that different individuals in various parts
of this country had turned their attention to this
subject, and were pursuing experiments in relation
to it. It was said that the manufacture of a good
article in large quantities was already in success
ful operation. This being a subject of great im
portance to this community, it was referred to the
sub-Committee on Manufactures to ascertain the
extent of the manufacture of this article in vari
ous parts of the country, and the processes used
in it so far as the same are public.
A very simple, economical and efficient form of
portable concentrated food is what is termed the
meat biscuit. In this preparation the best wheat
Sour it COMbined with the nutriment of the finest
beef, and these are presented for use as food, in the
form of a dry, inodorous, flat, brittle cake, which
will keep, when dry, for an unlimited period. It
only requires hot water and seasoning to the taste,
to produce a first-rate, agreeably-flavored, highly
nutritous soup, somewhat of the consistence of
sago. One pound of the biscuit contains the nu
trive matter, fat excepted, of five pounds of prime
beet; mixed with half a pound of the best wheat
flour. One ounce of the biscuit grated, and boiled
in a pint of water, forms a rich, nutritous soup.—
It is also averred that ten pounds of tbie substance,
with a proper allowance of water, afford, both in
balk and nutriment, food sufficient to support the
physical and mental powers of a healthy working
man for a month.
THE PAST Day.—Our readers will boar in mind
tbatto-day is the day appointed by President Bu
chanan, as a day of fasting and prayer to God in
behalf our of country. The terrible evils that are
threatening us, the apparent inability of our ru
lers to grapple with and subdue these evils, the
unreasonableness of the men who are determined
to destroy our republic, and the fact that Omnipo
tence alone can avert these calamities, should in
duce every lover of his country to comply with the
request of our Chief Magistrate. We do not know
to what extent the day will be obt Jrved .in Har
risburg, neither are we advised officially of any ar
rangements made to observe it. It is fair to pre
sume, however, that the churches will be opened;
and as we are among those who believe in the effi
cloy of prayer, we hope that the most fervent ap
peals in behalf of our beloved country will be
made by all whose prayers are likely to be heard.
FLACK Man.—The Indianapolis papers publish
a long amount of a case of black mail in that city,
from which we gather the following particulars:
"As a minister in one of the churches in this
city was going from prayer meeting to his real
'dense, he was accosted by a woman and two men,
charged with having had illicit intercourse with
the woman who confronted him, and was told that
satisfaction was desired, and that he must not re
fuse it for fear of his life. Going a square or two
the two men and the woman forced him into a
house, where they compelled him under threats of
immediate violence to his person, or danger of his
life, to sign a note for $2OO, stating in the note
that it was given as compensation to the woman
for the base purposes for which, as they charged,
he had used her. After signing the note, and be
ing told that if be did not pay it be would be in-
Oiled, be was permitted to go. Th e next doom
"of the men called with the note and received the
sioner. •

PRESE!CTATTOIT OF A CANE.-011 Tuesday last the
guests of the United States Hotel, corner of Elev
enth and Market streets, Philadelphia, presented
to H. W. Kanaga, the proprietor, a gold-mounted
ebony cane. The presentation was made by Dr.
M. 0, B. Richardson, in a few well-timed remarks,
as follows :
Sir, in behalf of a number of your guests, who
have for some time been under your roof and en
joyed your hospitality, I have the pleasing task
a§4gned me of presenting to you in their names
this beautiful cane, as a token of their regard and
esteem for you as a gentleman and as host. In
performing ibis pleasing task which thitpartiality
of my friends have placed upon me, flow me to
express my own well wishes for your confined suc
cess and prosperity. We know full well that in an
intrinsic point of view this gift nas but little value;
but, sir, it represents the well wishes, yea the
hearty well wishes of many warm hearts who desire
your success at all times and under all circum
stances. as a just reward for your endeavors to pro
mote the happiness of those around you. And if
in after life the infirmities of age or the misfortunes
of disease, which also humanity is heir to, should
render it necessary for you to have to lean on
something for support, may you find in this sturdy
Cane strength sufficient and when leaning upun it
can we not cherish the fund hope that you will
kindly remember those whose pleasure it was to
present it to you? I feel, sir, how little able lam
to do justice to those I represent, to you, and to
this occasion ; how utterly impossible it is indeed
for any one to speak the utterances and emotions
of so many hearts. The task would be too difficult
for the most experienced. I will not be presump
tions enough to attempt it. We know full well if
you understand the motives that prompt this gift,
it will ever be cherished by you as one of friend
ship's purest offerings. May this seen* ever be re
membered by us, and appreciated by you. In a
short while some of us will be scattered as it were
to the four winds of Heaven. May we always know
that we live in the same happy and prosperous
country. If so we can think with pleasure thatour
bored pontes or the laud that gave us birth is wa
tered by the same murmuring rivers, warmed by the
same genial sun, and canopied by the same bright
Heaven.
REPLY OF Jonx BROWNWELL Geritienten ; It is
no ordinary occurrence that has induced me to give
utterance to one word on this occasion—nor is it a
common mission to be deputed, as you are, by the
guests of the United States Hotel, to bear the flat
tering testimonial, which you have accompanied
with that eloquence which cannot fail in reaching
every heart in our midst—and in, delivering that
precious mark of their inestimable esteem is some
thing that should ever be remembered with a feel
ing of profound gratitude and delight. If, indeed,
the kind fee ling in relation to this present be as
sincere as the expression of your countenances, I
have ao hesitancy in saying it will be an imposing
reflection in days to come. But feeling as .I do en
tirely unprepared for an occasion of this kind, you
will here accept my sincere thanks in behalf of my
proprietor—knowing full well that silence on his
part will speak more forcibly than words_
COTTON RAISING IN AVRICA.-A late number of
the Sierra Leone African shows a growing interest
in the subject of cotton. Rev. Alexander Robb
gives encouraging accounts of the experiments in
Old Keleher. James Wilson, writing from Bare
quilla, says: "I should think the land on this
coast might produce cotton sufficient for the con
sumption of the world." Ho adds : "One advan
tage we have—the tree in this country lasts for
many years; therefore, they are not obliged to go
ovor the work of sowing, as in the North." The
Commissioner at Loando reports a sixfold increase
of exported cotton from 1857 to 1859.
A NORTHERN COLLECTOR FOR THE PORT OF
CHARLESTON --It is understood that a Philadelphian
has been appointed a Collector of Customs for the
Port of Charleston, S. C., and that he will be backed
by a naval force whets be goes upon his official

military officer, and that he will make his appear
ance in full martial dress ; but we learn that this
is a mistake, as the gentleman in question has pro
cured for himself a full eivilian outfit at the Brown
Stone Clothing Hall of Rockhill .t Wilson, Nos. 603
