George Wilson bas been appointed Postmaster of Median isburg. The Journai of the place warmly endorses the appointment. A stated meeting of the Washington Hose Coin pally will be held at the hose house this (Friday) evening, at i o'clock. Punetual attendance is re quested. Vscamv.—Night before last not a single person was confined in the city lock-np. This state of affairs speaks well for the orderly condition of our city, or the masterly inactivity of oar police.— Which ? Luzeaa.—The Kidd letown Journal says that the river is again in tolerable good rafting order. Several rafts passed this place on Sunday. It is supposed that the recent showers will put the river in the very beat condition for running timber, and that there will soon be a general stir along the Susquehanna. The prices will be considerably lower than last season. DitownEn.—We leer from the Middletown Jour sal that on last Monday night M. Gumph, an aged man, residing near that town, accidentally fell into the Aqueduct and was drowned. His body was found on Tuesday evening and taken from its watery grave. Justice Schaeffer summoned &jury and held an inquest over the body, when a verdict of "accidental drowning" was rendered. THB BALL.—The young men's ball at the Ex change, on Wednesday night, was a decided suc cess. The party "tripped it upon the light fantas tic toe" until an early hour, and every one left per fectly satisfied with the arrangements which had contributed so much to their enjoyment. The next ball at the Exchange is on the 11th inst. We be speak a happy time. Ifavousrusu Itusant.—The report that the small pox is raging to a considerable extent in some parts of this city is entirely unfounded. We have made inquiry of some of oar physicians, and can hear of but a faw eases, and them in the ex treme lower end of the city. The""red demon of the nursery"—the scarlet fever—prevails to a con siderable extent, although bat few fatal cases have occurred. Evssuanarts.—Evergreens can be safely trans planted during any of the spring months. They are as certain to live as an apple tree if planted properly. The reason why so many die is, that the roots are allowed to become dry before being planted. If the roots are kept moist, they are as certain to live as any other trees. But if the roots are allowed to get dry, you need not plant them expecting them to live. A &MULL FESTIVAL.—Mr. William Metzger, of this city, having retired from the victualing busi ness, invited his personal friends to partake of a supper on Wednesday evening last. Col. Daniel Wagner, of the Seven Stars Hotel, got up the en tertainment. During the evening the party were enlivened by Weber's string band, which discoursed most excellent music. Mr. Metzger has hosts of friends in this city, who will hear with regret that he has retired from the victualling business. Curt Carrr.w Marcum—The supply of fresh beef in our market at this time is greater than for years past. The best cuts at retail are only ten cents per pound. In Dauphin and Cumberland counties, adjoining this City, there is any quantity of live stock to be had, and our butchers are buying cattle at from three to five cents per pound alive. The stock is in an excellent condition for this season of the year, as hay and grain have been plenty du ring the winter. For several weeks past, no cattle have been shipped from this or adjoining counties to the large cities. THE WATER WORKS.—We paid a visit to the Water Works yesterday, and found everything there in the best of order. The new engineer and Superintendent of the Water Works, Mr. John Clark, informs us that the Worthington engine gives excellent satisfaction, it requiring only about six hours a day pumping to keep the reservoir that supplies the entire city full. Everything about the buildiug is in first-rate order. The Water Com mittee of the City Council deserve credit for the very liberal manner in which they have discharged their duty, so far as the Water Works are con cerned. A Doatsme SQuAssam.—Domestio squbl es, are of frequent occurrence in oar city, as they no doubt are in every other place. The one we wish to speak about this morning occurred between a butcher and his wife, the former having brought suit against his better-half. It may seem to be a very aggravated case when a wife prosecutes her husband for assault and battery, but nevertheless the thing was done yesterday, by John Paulus.— From what we can learn of the affair, it appears that John is troubled by the green-eyed monster. jealousy, and to appease his wrath he inflicted, as the lawyers would say, severe bodily punishment upon his wife. The wife, not relishing this kind of sport, proceeded to the office of Alderman Kline and brought suit against the "valiant" husband. John was held to bail for his appearance at the neat term of Quarter Sessions. En - Forma van BIRD Lews.---The Legislatures of several States have enacted stringent game laws for the protection of animals, birds and fish, and it becomes farmers particularly to see that they are strictly enforced, as far as pertains to birds. Sci entific men of high authority very generally agree that the alarming increase of destructive insects, which cause the loss of so much grain and fruit, is mainly in consequence of the wholesale slaughter of their natural enemies, the birds, that had pre viously kept them in due bounds, Let every cul tivator post conspicuous notices upon his farm, forbidding all persons to enter the fields with a gun, nadir penalty for trespass. This may be done, and the offenders punished, where no game laws exist. Let every bird murderer be dealt with rigorouely. BREAD MAKING.—One of the best London ba kers gives the following receipt to make a superior loaf of bread, of what is called a half-peck size.— Will not some of our readers try the plan and re port upon their success with it . To make a half-peck loaf, take three-quarters of a pound of well-boiled, mealy potatoes, and mash them through a fine collet:ier or coarse sieve; add one-eighth of a pint of yeast (about two table spoonful's.) or three-quarters of an ounce of Ger man dried yeast, and one pint and three-quarters of lukewarm water, (88 degrees Pahr.,) together with about three-quarters of a pound of flour, to render the mixture the consistence of thin batter; this mixture should be set aside to ferment; if placed in a warm situation it will rise in less than two hours, when it will resemble yeast in appear ance, except as to color. The sponge so made is then to be mixed with one pint of water, nearly blood warm, (92 deg., Pahr.,) and poured into half a peck of tour, which has previously had one• ounce and a quarter of salt mixed in it; the whole should then be kneaded into dough, and allowed to rise in a warm place for two hours, when it should be kneaded into loaves and baked. The abject of adding the mashed potatoes is to increase the amount of fermentation in the sponge, which it does to a very remarkable degree, and, conse quently, renders the bread lighter and better. A DESERTION CAM—About two years ago young man of this city, tired of country life, left his home and parents and went to Seek his fortune in the navy of Uncle Sam. He enlisted in the marine service and went to sea in the steamer Pawnee. After a short voyage in the Gulf of Mex ico, the vessel returned to the port of Philadelphia, at which place the young man took occasion to desert from the service. He has been in this city, with his parents, for some months past, and the fact of his desertion has leaked out. Two men hunters, one of whom ba Served a term in the county prison for kidnapping, attempted to make the arrest of the young man, and for that purrose went to his place of business a few days ago.— They found him upon a horse, riding out the poor house road, and by a vile subterfuge tried to ar rest him. But the alleged deserter proved too much for them, by putting spurs to his horse and galloping out of their reach. The object of Jim Nathans and Tow Lewis' search is at present loca ted in a secluded village, not a thousand miles from the city of Harrisburg. RAILROAD Ammo:v.—The train that left this city on Wednesday afternoon, at 4 o'cleck, for the West, on the Pennsylvania railroad, met with an accident, when within , a few miles of Pittsburg, that might have proved more serious than it did. It appears that the train was thrown from the track by the breaking of an axle, near Wall's station, and the forward car went down an embankment of fifteen feet, and the other ears ran off the track.— About eighty passengers were in the train, but only five were injured, viz : Mr. Dobbs, daguerreo typist, of Pittsburg; B. Carpenter, a drover, of Holmes county, Ohio; J. Mallory, of Hollidays burg; and John Simmons, express agent, of Har risburg. Their injuries are slight. The mails caught fire from the upsetting of the stove, and the contents of several pouches were badly damaged er destroyed. The Washington letter mail escaped damage, and the New York and Philadelphia pouches were but slightly dam aged. The Baltimore and Harrisburg pouches were considerably damaged, and the way-mails between Pittsburg and Harrisburg were almost entirely destroyed. POLICE MA.TTERS.—Augustus W. Shelton was arrested by officer Wicket, on Wednesday evening' for committing a violent assault and battery on one Augustus Reaber. The two Augustuses met in manly conflict, and Shelton, taking advantage of his superior cunning, came the" Pete Grover" over Reaber, and gave him an unmerciful beating. Held in bail for court. Yesterday morning officer Wickert arrested Rich ard Dermond, who was charged by John Giles (both colored) with committing awassault and bat tery upon him. The parties in this case are en gaged at the Harrisburg furnace. Giles is one of the engineers, and Dermond, with a party of the other hands, attempted to put Giles' engine in mourning for the loss of one of his lovers. Giles could not see the fun of the joke, and got mad, fur which indiscretion be was "slightually" punished by the defendant in 'this case. Held for Court. Tun Comma STEAM SQUIET.—We learned from one of the members of the Friendship fire com pany, yesterday, that their great "steam squirt" is rapidly approaching completion, and will be de livered in this city in about six weeks. A steam fire engine in this city will be a valuable adjunct to our present efficient department; and as the Friend" boys have not succeeded in raising the whole amount necessary to pay for the same, we hope our citizens will "come up to the scratch"and help them through. We understand the committee on collection are now waiting on our citizens who have subscribed to pay up their subscriptions, and we hope they will be prompt in response. BURGLARS ABOUT.—Sometime on Wednesday night the cigar store of James Crawford, in the Exchange building, in Walnut street, was entered by burglars, who got into the establishment by means of false or skeleton keys. The only things molested were some of Crawford's choice cigars, as the burglars disturbed no other propeety. At the time of the robbery there was a ball at the armory of the Cameron Guards, and some of the persons coming from there discovered the robbery and gave the alarm. The burglars, in their haste to depart, left in the establishment a fine gentlemen's shawl. which amply compensates Mr. C. for the robbery. MEETING OF THE PRESBYTER.F.—The Presby tery of Carlisle will hold its spring m eeting in this eity,commencing on next Tuesday. This Pres bytery is one of the oldest and largest in connecton with the General Assembly. It comprises some forty or fifty churches, and upwards of thirty min isters. lklost of its churches lie west of the Sus quehanna, generally in the Cumberland Valley, and a part of them in Maryland. Those en this side of the river are the Middletown, Harrisburg, Paxton and Derry churches. Itemoven.—Mr. William Dumars, the well-known cigar -maker and tobacconist, has removed his es tablishment to the building opposite the Court House, in Market street. Mr. Dumars has added to his stock some of the best imported cigars and some of the finest brands of tobacco, and any of our citizens who use the weed would consult their interests by calling upon him and giving his cigars and tobacco a trial.
