THU MAYTOWN INYANTAY.—The Maytown In fantry favored'onr citizens with a streetparade on Saturday morning. They are admirably drilled for a company that has been in existence only a little over two years.

ZOTTAPII Comparcr.—The military fever has broken out afresh in this city—this time taking the Zotiave form. It is said that a paper has already the names of thirty young men who are willing to become Zonaves. A meeting is to be held at the Citizen engine house on Monday evening, at which all young men desirous of connecting themselves with each an atomisation are invited to attend. MORE OF THE PICEPOCKETS. - MOW many pock ets were picked en Friday will probably remain a mystery forever, since many who lost small sums were ashamed to say anything about it. On Sat urday morning no less than a dozen - victims made complaint at the Mayor's efdee of being robbed, many of them acknowledging that they read the cautions in the newspapers, but paid no attention to them, having the most unlimited confidence in their ability to take oare of their valuables. DESTITUTION 4.111) Dikm.—The Coroner was called upon on Saturday evening to hold an in quest upon the body of an Irishman named Patrick Boylan, who died in a small house in the Sixth ward, near the Round house. One of the jurors informs us that the scene presented was one of the most shocking ones he ever witnessed. Boylan was laid upon a board, and the wife, stupefied with liquor, was lying in the cradle, while several chil dren were seated upon the floor—.nothing resem. bling a bed being in the house. On Friday, Thomas a son of Boylen, was committed to prison as a va grant, although he is bat ten years of age. The jury brought in a verdict of death by in temperance, and a want of medical attention.— Beylen was an able-bodied man, and formerly a steady laborer, bat latterly he had become entirely enslaved to the use of whisky, and some of the neighbors testified that he had been on a spree ever since Christmas. Exiassivz Horan Ronsany.—The "cracksmen" did a paying business at the United States Hotel on Friday night. A number of rooms were en tered by means of "nippersi" which enable the robber to -unlock a door from the outside as well as the inside, and the sleeping inmates were plun dered of their money and valuables. Judge Ballot, of Clearfield, had his poehet-book, containing some $7O, taken. James A. M'Cahen, of Hollidaysburg, had a small amount taken from the pockets of his panta loons. Judge Taylor, of Huntingdon, bad a valuable watch and some money stolen. In a hotel where the rooms have bolts, lodgers should always shoot them the moment they enter. If there is no bolt, the next best thing is to set a chair against the door, putting the wash basin Under the lock, and leaving the key so that the least push against it will throw it into the basin. As noise made by the fall will be sufficient to alarm the operator. LIABILITIES OP RAILROADS FOR CATTLE KILLED L TES STATE OF DELAWARIII.-AR important dent don, involving the rights and liabilities of railway companies, and the owners of oattle killed by trains when on the track, has just been made by Chief Justice Gilpin, of the State of Delaivare. Four main points were made by the learned Judge, and RBlO established by his decision as the law of his particular jurisdiction, to wit : 1. That a railroad company, legally chartered, hue the Vllloltriletcd right of way over its own road. 2. That it cannot be held in damages for any loss which owners of cattle may sustain if their cattle are killed or injured while upon the track, and when due diligence and caution are observed on the part of those in charge of the train, to pre vent said destruction or injury. 8. That the company is not bound to fence in the lands or farms along the line of road merely for the eake of keeping cattle off the track; but that it is the duty of owners of cattle to see that such cattle do not interfere with mid *batted the passage of the trains, and thus become trespassers. 4. That persons who suffer their animals to roam at large upon the track, to the detriment of the travel by obstructing the road, are liable in a Suit for trespass thereof. We have had two lady visitors already, that's so. Our office was illtimpated on Wedneslay last, itith two as fair specimens of old Grandmother Eve as can be found in a day's travel. Call again, ladies.—Broad Top Miner. That's not much to brag of, AO bow. Ovum time ago—we want it distinctly understood that it was some time ago—we started a country paper in a western town which contained a large preponder ance of young and lovely girls but as we went there with a firm resolve to have nothing to do with them, we set our face against their advancer. They crowded upon us so thick, howeyor, that we Were finally obliged to station the devil of the office at the door with a club. They next crowded the 1714,10 w so as to make it too dark to read the ex_ changes. This we remedied by putting bars across the window. They then exhibited their admiration by throwing boquets in through the 413 " 13 m as fiat as the aforesaid devil could carry them out of the hack door. Finally, when they no longer had the flowe rs to annoy us, they sent bit. lit dour through the post office to the amount of a Wheelbarrow load a day, which served us in plate of fuel, in the fall. A friend of ours, who held the :Woof sheriff of the county, seeing the misfortune elabored under, in consequence of being good hoking, undertook to negotiate the sale of our ° to) and we eloped for another country. FACTS ABOUT THE Om litrenntss.—Under this caption the Pittsburg Chronicle has a lengthy and well-digested article in its 'edition of Thursday last. Pittsburg is evidently awaking to the vast impor tance of the oil business to her manufacturers and mechanics; or, in fact, to her whole people. To show the large amount of cash that city alone has received from oil operators during the past year, we condense a few facts from the Chronicle's state ment, obtained from the books of the establish ments which furnished the work. - - - - . The number of engines built in Pittsburg during the last year, and sold and delivered, exclusively for the oil interest, is 239. Of this number 140 were for the wells in that region ; the remainder having been sent to Mecca, Kanawha, Smith's Ferry and Blairsville districts. Faber Co. alone, show an aggregate for engines and boilers fur nished, and in hand, the snug sum of $85,000. The aggregate of cost for engines and boilers paid to Pittsburg in 1860, is $176,976. This work is called a year's business, and it is a wonderful in crease to Pittsburg, even counting a year, but it has nearly all been done during the last three or four months. It will be well enough to remember 61119, that this aggregate of engines alone, and cost, does not, by any means, express the benefits resulting to machinists from the discovery of oil. The sum represents the share accruing to Pittsburg only. Although this region has been the heaviest purchaser of Pittsburg engines, we have not con fined our custom to that city. Cincinnati, Buffalo, and A. N. Wood do Co., of Madison county, N. Y., are well represented here in the engine business. Of tubing, tools, pumps, rope, lc., the aggregate cost furnished in 1860 is $178,002. Of this amount J. B. Sheriff foots up $70,000. A large amount of tubing is supplied by Erie, in addition to that purchased in Pittsburg, and a heavy amount of tools is manufactured in Franklin. Mr. Sheriff has throo shops in operation in this region. The sum total expended in Pittsburg, in 1860, for engines, boilers, tubing, tools, rope, Ic., by oil operators, is $527,720 : or more than half a million of dollars. The estimate of crude Petroleum received in Pittsburg, during 1860, is 17,000 barrels. This estimate, we are certain, is under the mark con siderably. The value of this, at $l2 per barrel, the average price obtained, is $233,208. The refiners of Pittsburg have also been doing a good business. Refining has become a business of great importance, and in it is invested a heavy amount of capital. Forsyth & Bro. nett 400 battele of crude oil every week, Sawyer & Co. refine about 40 barrels per week ; Woodside & Parry 75, which they will soon double; S. M. Kier k Co., about 500, and W. Mackeown about 600. Mr. Mackeown, during the last twelve months, bought 3,000 bar rels of (wade oil, which produced, when refined, 2,400, all of which went westward. The refined article commands from $24 to $26 per barrel, and the demand is greater than the supply. The amount realised by the refiners at $25 per barrel, is $219,500. The number of refineries reported is Fix ) but 1911ral 011911 are almost ready to go into operation. The coal trade of Pittsburg is yet to be largely benefitted by the oil business. It presents a mar ket for that great staple where none existed be fore, and at remunerative prices. Oil offers down freight for empty coal barges, and would make the business pay at each end of the river. The coal oil trade is not taken into consideratim in the above statistics. That is a heavy and im portant business of itself, and must continue to be until the supply of Petroleum shall become equal to the demand. When it is remembered that Petroleum, so far as great practical effects are concerned, is a new article just brought before the public—that all it has accomplished in attaining a fixed demand and a commercial value, has been done within one year—it is no marvel that even true tales of its success should seem beyond belief. The facts pre sented to-day ought to satisfy the mostincredulous that somebody must have struck "lie" somewhere. HINTS ON WASHING THE HANDS, &c.—Some philosophy is useful in even so simple a matter as washing the hands; if any one doubts it, let her with a microscope examine the surface to be clean sed by water, and she will be interested, and per haps shocked, at the discoveries made. Instead of a smooth surface of skin, presenting, when un washed, a dingy appearance, there will be seen a rough, corrugated surface, with deep irregular fur rows, in which the foreign particles are deposited like earth among the rough paving stones of the street. If they lay loosely, it would be an easy matter to dislodge them with a little cold water; but the pores, the waste pipes of the body, are con tinually discharging into these open drains per spiration and oil, which, by evaporation, become cement to hold the particles of dust, Ac., and to remove them requires both chemical and mechani cal action. When water softens this cement, ex pands the furrows, and makes the skin pliable, so that by rubbing the soil is disturbed and partly re moved. But At caistry Met aid a little before the process is complete ; and soap is added, the alkali of which unites with the oily matters, and the whole is then easily disposed of. The wash cloth is useful, because its threads or fibres work down among the furrows like so many little brooms, sweeping them out; thence it should be soft and pliable. Flannel is preferable to cot ton for this purpose, and sponge is the beet of all. Rough coarse cloths are objectionable, as they abrade the skin and leave it rough, and more easily filled with dust than before. Harsh, strongly alkaline soap should be avoided for the same rea son ; it abstracts all the oil from the upper layer of the skin, and makes it chap or crack. Where a sponge is not obtainable, a very neat and service able cloth may be knit of soft cotton twine, either with the crochet or with coarse wooden needles, knitting back and forth, as garters are knit. A mitten knit of tidy cotton, with the crochet needle, is very handy for this purpose, and makes a neat article for the washstand. A wash rag will not be tolerated by. a tidy housekeeper. If clothe are used, let them be neatly hemmed, and kept scru pulously clean. Applying a little vinegar and water to the ban& or face, after the use of soap, and rinsing off the vinegar with clear water, is a capital process to prevent chapping or roughness. The acid neutralizes the alkali of the soap, and keeps it from destroying the skin. Try this fre quently, especially on washing days. Diluted vinegar or other acid is excellent for the face after shaving. THE PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE. The report of this noble institution for the past year has been sent M. We learn that the useful.. ness of the Hospital has been increased, and re pairs and improvements have been made, so that the new building will shortly be ready for occupa tion. At the date of the last report, there were 254 patients in the institution, since which 211 have been admitted, and 191 have been discharged, or died, leaving 274 under care at the close of the year. The total number of patients in the Hospital during the year, was 465. The highest number at any one time was 288; the lowest was 250; end the average number, under treatment, during the whole period, was 273. The number of melee in the hospital during the year was 263, and the number of females was 202. The highest number of males at any one time was 157, and the highest number of females was 131. At the beginning of the year, there were 132 males and 123 females. The number of males admitted during the year was 131, and the number of females 80.

Among them were 1,896 males, and of these the largest number of any profession were farmers 278. There were 173 merchants, 142 clerks, 66 students, 23 clergymen, 38 physicians, 69 car penters, 146 laborers, 4 police officers, 25 black smiths, 1 author, 17 artists, 35 tailors, 56 shoe makers, 244 of no occupation, dm Of the total number of female patients (1,675) since 1841, the largest number were domestics, that class furnishes 190. The neat largest num ber were 157 wives of farmers. The following were the relations of the total number treated since 1841: Males. Females.

There are other tables of great interest, together with interesting - accounts of the pleasure grounds of the institution, the lectures, the music, the museum, dm., and the retrospect of twenty years of usefulness, with the prospect of increased use fulness in the future, cannot bat be gratifying to Dr. Thomas S. Eirkbride, the superintendent, and those associated with him in the management of the institution. JAPAN AND ITS Cusroms.—The population of Japan, which has been much overrated, does not amount to more than 20,000,000. Japan is com posed of four large islands, and several smaller ones of but little importance. The whole area is 150,000 square miles, about the size of California; but Japan proper is only about two-thirds the size of 1 1 6 - kait, containing 115,000 square miles. The people are chiefly engaged in agriculture, and the wages of mechanics and laborers average 12 cents per day_ In their manners the people are very courteous, but they are proud, irascible and licen tious. Society is divided into eight classes, three of whom bear swords. They are noted for what is called "ofacial lying," no man being expected to tell the truth if he can gain anything by a false hood. The houses are usually two stories high, but the first is on a level with the streets, so that they do net present a very imposing appearance 3 but the inhabitants have good reason for this style of tene ments, for typhoons and earthquakes are frequent. The rooms are usually separated by partitions of paper, made of mulberry, and of very handsome patterns. The ceilings and wall are prepared with the same material ; and not unfrequently the wealthy have their apartments covered with gilt paper, bearing designs of birds, flowers, Ac., which present a beautiful appearance. An apartment in a foreign residence, twenty-five feet square, beauti fully prepared with material which had a silvery Wart, cost Qnly twv dellare and a half, The henna do not seem to be very substantially built, being composed of wood, over which is a plaster, which hardens by exposure; they present an airy and agreeable appearance; but one would think the inmates must suffer from cold during the winters when the thermometer falls below freezing point, as their houses are illy adapted to protect them, having no fireplaces nor chimneys, using braziers filled with burning charcoal instead, around which often a numerous family assembles. The streets of their cities are 25 feet wide, with a sewer along the middle of each. They are paved and have granite sidewalks, and in the principal streets large gates are erected, which are closed in cases of riot or hostile attack. Jeddo, the capital, contains 2,000,000 of inhabitants. Their language is the most difficult in the world to learn, being made up of 72 sounds. The greater portion of the people profess the Buddhist religion. They pray by machinery. A wheel is set up with a written prayer attached to it, a slight touch sets it in mo tion, and every revolution is counted a prayer. THE SUFFERING IN KANSAS.—State Aid Neces sary—lt is with pleasure that we publish the fol lowing communication relating to the suffering in Kansas. Besides private letters brought by Mr. Hutchinson, he has the following general letter of introduction. Hon. Greene 0. Bronson and other prominent gentlemen are members of the N. Y. Committee: To Members of State Legidaturee and all Others Interested: The Rev. C. C. Hutchinson, of Kansas, is the authorized agent of the New York Kansas Relief Committee, and as suoh, recently visited Albany, and was instrumental in receiving the ap propriation of $50,000 just made by our State Le islature. His statements are entirely reliable.— Deeming much more assistance absolutely neces sary for the suffering people of Kansas, we com mend Mr. Hutchinson to your favorable attention hoping your Legislature will assist in this great charity. WM. C. BRYANT Chairman N. Y. Kansas Relief Committee. .Reasons for Grant , ng State aid to Kansas. EDITOR PATRIOT AND UNION :—Last year not ORO tenth the usual amount of rain fell in Kansas, and through a great portion of the Territory the ground was not wet to the depth of three inches during the entire summer. The result was, an almost en tire failure of crops. Carefully gathered statistics from more than sixty townships show that while the average crop of corn in 1859 was thirty-eight bushels per acre, in 1860 it was but one bushel and § half P9r Th9USotido 044r91 yielded netbing, and in whole counties not as much was raised as was planted and sown. So wide-spread is this des titution that thousands are eating the bread of be nevolence, and those who can support themsolvea are in a condition to do little for their neighbors. Some contradictory reports have recently come from Leavenworth, Kansas, signed by several cid tens of that place. That ocumemt was drawn up partly from personal animosity to Thaddeus Ity att, (who is not now a member of any committee, but has spent several months time and more than two thousaed dollars from his own pocket to feed the hungry in Kansas ' ) partly from local preju dice, and partly from opposition to the relief move ment. Local prejudice exists because Atchison is neces sarily the distributing point, as the railroad from the east is not completed to Leavenworth. These towns, twenty-five miles apart, are rivals, and little souls are affected by it in this matter. Some of the Signers to the dispatch from Leaven worth, strange as it may seem, have always opposed asking for aid, on the ground that a disclosure of the true condition of Kansas would injure our future prosperity by preventing the desired influx of immigrants and capital. There are persons in every State who would, under cover of law, rob a widow of her last dollar and leave her helpless children to beggary, and if these persons were in Kansas they would prefer that great suffering should ensue, rather than have the facts before the country, and they suffer lose in the price of corner lots and quarter sections. The Mayor of Leavenworth, Hon. J. L. McDow ell, informed me in January that his county had raised less than a quarter drop this year, and that many peroone there were. dependent upon bolp from abroad. Others who signed the dispatch, issued a call for aid two months ago, under their own signatures, stating that more than 30,000 needed assistance. Finally, in this dispatch, they say that twenty thousand need aid. Certainty this is enough to call for generous assistance. The truth is, however that Kansas has always hitherto raised good crops, and will, in a few ybilte, re cover from this terrible Providential dispensation. A memorial which I recently presented to the New York Legislature, gave in detail figures show- 1 ing the necessities of Kansas for seed and fuel, ' with the following result. The value of seed re quired is about as follows—allowing that there are in Kansas 460,000 cultivated acres, or an average of one farm of thirty acres to every seven persons : Wheat 75,000 acres, sorghum 45,000, potatoes 7,500, corn 285,000, oats. .te., 30,000, garden vegetables 7,600 acres, at a first cost for seed of $162,749.00 —cost of bags and freight to Atchison $65,911.00. Allowing that one quarter of this can be fur nished by the people themselves, it will require $152,440 for seed alone. The 11. S. army rations for each man daily arc 18 ounces bread and 20 ounces beef, or 16$ pounds solid food per week, or, for 30,000 people—the towel estimate deducible from reliable returns -498,750 pounds per week, or 14,962,500 pounds for 30 weeks, or 247,041 bushels at 60 pounds per bushel. This being caleulated for flour at $1.25 per bushel, gives $308,801. freights on same at 20 eents per bushel to Atchison, $49,408. One third of this seed and food must be transported to the interior to those whose teams have died or been disposed of to procure bread, which will cost about $25,000, making a total of $535,649. Towards this sum Wisconsin, besides large private contribu tions, has appropriated $5,000, and New York $50,000.- Will not the Legislature of Pennsylvania, with her vast wealth, contribute at least $30,000 ? The sum is too vast to be attained by private contributions, liberal as they have been, and the relief is needed immediately. The Territorial Leg islature has memorialized legislatures in session asking for aid. Nothing can be done towards re lief by issuing State bonds until too late, because the Legislature was elected several months since and there are several vacancies to be filled, while our representatives are many of them at a great distance from the capital with no telegraphs or railroads to facilitate communication and travel.— In the name of thousands who are, suffering for the commonest necessaries of life, and many of whom went from this State,l beg the Legislature to make a speedy appropriation for relief. It cannot be that Pennsylvania will refuse bread to her own children ! C. C. HUTCHINSON, Females Total. 46 98 Agent N. Y. Kansas Relief Committee. Harrisburg, Feb. 23, 1861.—d2t*.
