COLLECTION. —The carriers of the PATRIOT AND UNION beg leave to say that they will, as usual, collect their dues this morning. THE Union Prayer Meeting will be held in the Presbyterian Church, on Market Square, this after noon, at 4 o'clock, as usual. TanuArins.—We do not know where a single dish of thiNelightful, as well as delicate article, can be found in this city. Oun exchanges, from all directions, are lament ing the injury to the peach crop, occasioned by the fine weather some two weeks since, which brought forward the bads only to be killed by the severe weather which followed. Sueviarrma.—Considerable small thieving is done now by women, Who enter dry goods and fancy stores in couples, and while one is engaging the attention of the attendant, the other is secreting articles about her person. STEAM is employed for heating carriages on the Lyons Railway, in France. It is conducted from the locomotive by pipes to all the ears. The joints are flexible, being mzde of vulcanized India-rub ber. VERY Quirr.—The election held yesterday passed off very quietly. A stranger passing through the town would hardly think that an election was being held, that would decide the destinies of the nation. A SLIGHT MISTAKE.-A day or two since we stated Mrs. Allender had been taken before Alder man Maglauchlin, on the charge of being drunk and disorderly. It turns out that it was a Miss Allender, who was a non-resident of town. She was discharged, and left town. OBSTRUCTING A RAILROAD TRAIEL-A man named Daniel Carroll was arrested the other day, charged with obstructing the cars on the Pennsylvania Railroad, by placing an iron chain and piece of rail on the track near Coatesville, with a view of throwing off the first train that might approach.— Re was committed for trial. FIRST OF APRIL CHARGES.—Those of our sub scribers who intend removing their places of resi dence about the Ent of April, and desiring the place of sending their papers changed, will be good enough to give us timely notice, always being care ful to state where they wish them changed from. Early attention to this matter will save trouble, and prevent the loss of papers. Tux MAYOR'S OPmcn.—Ooly three customers appeared before the Mayor yesterday—two of them were drunk and disorderly, and, having no visible means of support, the Mayer sent them over to Mr. Boyd, who Kindly furnishes these in dividuals with feed. at the expense of the county. The other individual was on a tramp ; had no place to sleep, and volunteered to remain in the lock-up till His Honor, the Mayor, gave him per mission to leave the ranch. A HARD CASE.—The lady we mentioned in yes terday's paper, as having occupied a room in the City Hotel, and being toe short of funds to pay her way over the bridge, turns out to be a scamp of the first water. When she was located in the sta tion house, Dan, who is notorious for his generos ity, kindly loaned her an extra blanket, and in the morning, after obtaining money from the Mayor, it was found that the blanket and the lady bad stepped out together. She no doubt made use of it as an extra skirt. PASSAGE OF AN IMPORTANT RAILROAD BILL.-OR Monday last the Indiana Legislature passed the atilroad bill known as the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Bill, providing that rail roads may let their roads go to sale, and organize new corporations, and giving the new corporatioas the right to reinstate the old bondholders, audi tors and stockholders in the same order as before, as first, second, third preferred stock, and stook without any preferment. It passed both Houses, and will become a law. STANba ON Ms DIONITY.—It appears that the President and his Cabinet are determined that the people shall not approach them, neither in person, nor by petitioning. Mr. Lincoln has expressed himself to the effect that in making appointments in the districts, he will be guided by the recom mendations of the members of Congress from each district. The new Postmaster-General has given out that he will require all applications for office in his department, to be endorsed by members of Congress from the respective districts, and that they will be held responsible for the appoint ments. ANNUAL COM III IIwEIE6ET OF TIM PENNsvz.vANIA Traivnanirv.—The annual commencement of this time-honored institution, took place this after noon, at the Musical Fund Hall. There were one hundred and seventy-five graduates, who hailed from all sections of the country, but who came to this city to receive professional instruction where there are first class colleges, and where there is located the magnificent Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Roakhill & Wilson, Nos. 603 and 605 Chesnut street, above Sixth, Philadelphia, where the finest stook of clothing for gentlemen and youths to be found in the world is on hand. We are indebted to Messrs. Kcmpton & Mullin, proprietors of the Mt. Holly Springs Paper Mills, fer a box of their new style of business letter pa per, recently gotten up to meet the wants of busi ness men and others, who object to Commercial Note as being too narrow, and do not wish to use part of usual letter sheet. This overcomes both the above objections—is a perfect sheet, pure wove , plate finish, ruled on one side, stamped in centre, near the top, made from best material, free from adulteration,and put up in neat boxes convenient for use. Thin is one of the most beautiful specimens of paper that has ever came under our notice, and is in the highest degree creditable to the skill of the manufacturers.. CITY ELECTION.

THE SCIENCE Or Snoorms.—The men of the pre sent day who have a penchant .for indulging in the somewhat fascinating amusement of shooting at a mark with a rifle are better off for appliances than the people were in our juvenile days. Then tar gets were carried to the outskirts of the town, and great matches were de-sided upon crusted snow, which sometimes lasted from morning to night.— Nowt gentlemen walk up-stairs into a well-warmed gallery, and shoot until they are tired of the amuse ment without so - much as loading the gun them selves. These reflections forced themselves upon us a day or two ago as we sat in Warne 's gallery, looking at some young men making shots that would have charmed a backwoodsman. The "gal lery" is profusely decorated with a record of "crack" shots. t It appears that the frequenters shot for a silver goblet in the month of February, and the result is posted up as follows : John Haldeman, Esq., eight shots from centre to centre • - - - 41 inches J. B. Boyd - - - - 51 " Capt. Simmons - - - - 51 " C. M. Shell 6 44 Capt. J. Power " Mr. Cex - - - - 51 " J. Katy - - - -.- - 5,1 Mr. Haldeman won the goblet, which was pre sented to him at Brant's Hall. On another occa sion he shot sixteen consecutive shots measuring 101 inches. MIDDLETOWN Dram—From the Journal of Wed nesday : Xidatetoton Academy.—lt will be a source of gratification to many of our citizens .to learn that a school of a high character will shortly be com menced in our borough. The Brick Ohuteh edifice is being remodeled for school purposes, and will hereafter be known as the "Middletown Academy." Arrangements are making to secure the services of a competent classical teacher. It is expected that the exercises of the academy will be com menced about the middle of April. Henceforth, our citizens will not be necessitated to send their sons and daughters abroad to be educated. They will have ample facilities at home, and at the same time have their children under heir own imme diate control. The stockholders of the Middletown market com pany met on Monday evening, at - Union Hall, for the purpose of electing seven managers for the en suing year. The following persons were elected : John Monaghan, Samuel Landis, C. W. King, J. E. Carmany, J. A. Hess, J. Rohrer, John Raymond. The managers elected John Monaghan President, J. Rohrer Secretary, C. W. King Treasurer. Dr. Miles, of Harrisburg, will preach in the M. E. Church on next Sabbath morning and evening. Rev. M. is said to be a lively and pleasant speaker. Iron Bridge.—Workmen are still busily engaged in putting up the new iron bridge over the canal at this place. It will be completed in a short time. WHO WOULD BE A. BACHELOR?—We put it seri ously to the staid gentleman of five-and-thirty, who having no other companion, wife or child, reads us, along with his hot muffins, every morning, whether it is not high time for him to eschew this disconsolate isolation ? After all, is blessedness ever single, or singleness ever blessed ? "Matri mony has many pains," said Dr. Johnson, "but celibacy has no pleasures." The former part of the assertion is disputable, but for, the truth of the latter we appeal to universal experience. Perhaps you say you can't help it; that you are as tired as a dog of the sort of life you are leading, but that there is no escape from it. Now, pray, don't des pair, there's a dear fellow. In this frosty weather there is a world of blooming beauty partitioned off at American firesides; and, with a little prudence and a little resolution, you may manage to find a hearty welcome somewhere. Accinzers.—Martin Lewis, an employee of the Pennsylvania railroad company, at the depot in Altoona, had his left argt badly fraotured, whilst engaged in coupling cars, on Tuesday. On Sunday night last, Michael Ginevan, em ployed in the Round House at Altoona, had his right leg broken about three inches above the an kle, by a fall from a locomotive which he was en gaged in cleaning. Chronic invalids should read Dr. Stewart's ad T ertisement in another column. COAL-BURNING LOCOMOTIVES.—The New York Central railroad company have fitted up some of their engines to burn coal instead of wood. The changes from the ordinary wood-burning locomo tives are described as follows : A fire brick arch is extended across the furnace under the flue, and back into the furnace about twenty inches from the flue sheet; a dump-grate is put in ; a row of hollow stay-bolts surrounds the fire-box immedi ately over the fire, and to aid combustion, exhaust pipes are extended up to near the top of the smoke arch; and a straight twelve-inch smoke-stack, five feet high, is substituted for the ordinary smoke stack.

This Dictionary is the recognized standard of the English language throughout the world. It is the stan dard authority for the Official Records and Documents, and the Public. Printing of the United States. and is the only standard recognized by our eminent authors. It is the BEST DEFINING and PRONOUNCING - Dic tionary of the English language, and contains over one third more useful matter than any other similar work— more than NINETEEN THOUSAND important WORDS and MEANINGS not found in Webster's Unabridged. It is illustrated by more than 1,000 SUPERB WOOD• ours ; 5,000 wards are accurately SYNONYMIZED, together with full Tables of Proper Names Pronounced. No stu dent can afford to be without it. That it is the best Dictionary in every department of Lexicography, is the opinion of our most competent scholars. From George P. Marsh, L. L. D., Author of Lectures on the English Language. I have examined the new edition of Dr. Worcester's English Dictionary with care, and have formed a very favorable opinion of its merits. The principal points to be aimed at in a hand-diction ary are— Accuracy in orthography and orthoepy—the written and spoken forma of words ; Precision and distinctness in definition ; Fullness in vocabulary, and truth in historical etymo logy. The work of Dr. Worcester is unquestionably MUCH SUPERIOR to any other general Dictionary of the lan guage in EVERY ONE of these particulars, and it is therefore entitled to rank first among the existing helps to a complete knowledge of English philology, From William Cullen „Bryant and Washington Irving. The new and authentic etymologies, the conciseness and completeness of the definitions, the nicety with which the different shades of meaning in synonymes are distinguished, and the conscientious accuracy of the work in all its departments, give it, in my judgment, the-highest claims to public favor. I concur with the opinion of Mr. Bryant.—Washing ton Irving. From Prof. Oliver Wendell Holmes,Boston. It is, indeed, a. monumental work, an one of which cue city and country may be proud as long as we have a city, a country and a language. From Charles Dickens, England. It is a most remarkable work, of which America will be justly proud, and for which all who study the English language will long have reason to respect your name, and to be grateful to you. From Herbert Co'eridge, Secretary of the London Philo- logical Society, England Your . magnificent present reached me here at length Safely yesterday, and I lose no time in returning you my cordial thanks for your kindness. The London agents of your publishers, in their letter to me, (which I got before the book itself,) described it as a new edition of Webster, and I hardly felt inclined to be very grateful, as my opinion of Dr. Webster is but small; and my sur. prise and pleasure were consequently all the greater when I found out what I had really become possessed of. As a work of practical utility, your book appears to me to be NEARLY PERFECT, and I expect to derive immense assistance from it. From the Rev. W. Wlzewell, D. D., Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, England, Author of "History of the Inductive Sciences." I have repeatedly consulted the Dictionary since it has been in my possession, and have seen reason to think it MORE COMPLETE AND EXACT than any of its predecessors.
