Two of the old clerks will remain to ini tiate the new comers into the duties of the office. We have not heard officially who the new clerks w ill be. Tux Itivan.—The Susquehanna is in navigable order, and a few rafts passed this city yesterday for a market below. The present freshet will not bring the lumber from the upper streams, as we learn that a sufficient rise has not taken place in those waters to float the lumber to the main stream. NEW ROME AGENT —Mr. Christian Evy, the well known Ash and oyster merchant, of this city, informs us that be has received the appointment of route agent between Harrisburg and Baltimore. Mr. Evy, although not an ardent Republican, has done some service in the cause, and his appoint ment will doubtless give satisfaction to the faith ful. Arra-wrap SUICIDE .—A young man in the em ploy of the Pennsylvania railroad company, at tempted to commit suicide, on Thursday last, by swallowing an ounce of laudanum. After it was discovered that he had taken poison, a couple of doctors were called in, who succeeded in saving his life. The young man—whose name we have no desire to spread before the community—was driven to the act through a disappointed love en gagement. Sta. BLITZ Munro I—Our citizens we know will be delighted to hear that the inimitable Signor Blitz, with Bobby and the learned canary birds, and the entire traps, is coming. Old and young will be delighted to hear this, for there never was a greater favorite than Blitz. lie will give a per formance on Wednesday evening, and another on Thursday evening, and an afternoon performance for the little folks. He is brought here by the State Capital Band, whom it is hoped will realize handsomely by the venture. A &IMMIX Movzscnov.—The Philadelphia Con ference of the Methodist Church adopted, after long and earnest deliberation, a resolution recom mending to the next General Conference the re peal of the slavery restriction chapter, adopted at the meeting of that body, last year, at Buffalo.— We like to ace this. Let the churches cease to be divided upon this question, and a long step will be taken, not only towards a re-construction of the Union, but also, we think, towards Heaven. Oun Srnarrs.—Our goodly city is provided with no less than six street supervisors; bat with all this force some of our streets are in a shocking condition. Piles of coal ashes and dirt of sundry kinds stare us in the face in all parts of the city. The Chief of Police, whose duty it is to see that the city ordinances are carded into effect, is at present laid up with the rheumatism; but we think the supervisors, during his illness, would be doing no more than their duty by giving the matter their attention. The warm weather will soon be with ns, and the poisonous effects of the dirty streets and lanes may be made painfully evident in some violent epidemic. Would it not be a good plan for our Legislature to pass a law authorizing a muni cipal election every time the streets get dirty ? Local. Trans.—Yesterday was a beautiful spring day, the finest of the kind we have had this season. Everybody that could "get off" was out promena ding, but with all that it was the dullest day for items we have experienced for a long while. We strolled the city from one end to the other, loafed around the hotels, corners, and every other avail able place that the least shadow of an item could be obtained, but nary thing could we hear of in the way of an incident or an accident, and we were compelled to return to our sanctum in moody and gloomy silence, thinking about everything, from the state of the country down to the financial state of our pockets. We returned to the streets, and for every hundred yards we traveled found a crowd cursing and discussing men and measures, measures and men. Those who were not politically engaged bad a woebegone look—a sorry and forsaken as pect—complained of the toothache, the backache, the neuralgia, cores, hard times, or some other delirious malady. We again retraced our steps to our sanctum, to take some measures of consolation, by reflecting that if items such as these—an awful catastrophe, a five story house consumed by fire, fourteen persons perished by the flames, a duel, murderer arrested, burglar shot, inquest, fratricide, homicide, and if nothing else, the robbery of a hen roost—were to be picked up every day, reporters would be as happy as the folks are in Canaan; but knowing such to be impossible, we amused our self by whistling "Dixie" until we were aroused from our reverie by the discord of another whistle, which, on our turning round, proved to be the last whistle of a pair of disappointed office seekers, who having spent their last red, took to this swan like music to pay their way borne again. So we thanked God, and took—a drink. TRUE CHARITY ITS OWN ANGEL.—The truest charity, says Ben. P. Taylor, in the Chicago Jour nal, is its own angel the world over. a truth beau. tifully illustrated in the story of the Irish school master. He had taken several lads for charity's sake, had given them a seat by his fire, and a share of his food ; he bad them, even as the birds are taught to sing, "without price ;" it bad light ened his basket and diminished his store. One night be had a dream. Heaven was in sight, and he was striving to attain it. He had piled, so he dreamed, all the good deeds he could think of, and had clambered upon the summit, but Heaven was yet as fat off to the poor schoolmaster as it was to Dives. He heaped up all his learning, and the alms he had given to the poor in die sight of the great congregation, and still the blessed place was beyond his reach. He was in despair, and all the while he had never bestowed a thought upon the poor boys be had fed and taught. But just then, when Paradise was fading from his sight, they. came and they made a ladder for the old man—a ladder of hands and strong arms—and he stepped from the shoulder of the last of them lightly and easily into Heaven. And such is the charity that blesses him that gives, as well as him that takes. That eccentric physician who prescribed a new shawl for a complaining lady, and at once pro nounced her convalescent, was something of a philosopher. For hundreds of heart-sick people, the prescription might be varied with the happiest results, and read, "an old shawl for a shivering sister." There is no alchemy so potent to kindle the jewel of content as a visit to those who are less blest than we. Would you make the old faded car pet look bright as new ? Enter the tenement whose floors are bare, and the stirs shine through the roof. We count the blessings that are missing, bat how rarely do we number those that we enjoy. Tux Mourn OF APRIL.-April is generally, and we hope will be now, recognized as the month of genial suns, of happy smiles and joyous tears—for tears are joyous at times, as all of us have experi enced. March is gone, and we are glad of it—not that we feel harsh towards it, but March has been "uncommonly bad," and, of course, has not won our good will. I has been severe, pettish, cross, whimsical—now Cold, now hot, now snowing, now raining, now smiling, now sombre, a hoteh-potch of weather, and, by innoeulation, of feeling. It has not allowed an hour's uninterrupted hope of comfort. If our extreme "ante-cestors" experi enced such, no wonder that it was eschewed as a month in which to solemnize that which rejuve nates, re.onnobles men—marriage. There was among them a notion that all unions solemnized' daring this month, became inharmonious and un happy. Then too—and superstition attached harsh features to it in consequence—it was the month in which Caesar was murdered by the "Honorable" Brutus. But it is gone—March has left us—and "sunny April"—may it not prove ironical—is upon us. The name of the month is derived from the Latin word Aperio, which in English means to open or disclose. The term applies to the opening of the yesr, or to the filling of buds and unfolding of flowers by the influence of the genial warmth and moisture of the spring. RHEUMATISM . KILLED BY MADNESS —A young man named William Hammel, residing near Potts ville, Pennsylvania, and who for four years past has been so lame from rheumatism as to render locomotion without the aid of crutches impossible, rose from his bed one day last week, and, to the great surprise of all , who saw him, walked away from his house without crutches. It was discov ered that he had suddenly become a maniac throng') the severity of his sufferings; the same cause which bad restored him to the use of his limbs, depriving him of his reason. He was removed to the Penn sylvania State Lunatic Hospital, near this eity, where be at present remains. Mr. Hammel was a member of the Odd Fellows, who Sent him hero to be cured, if possible, at their expense. POLICE AFFAIRS.-officer Wickert yesterday ar rested Mary Snowden, a colored resident of Third and Mulberry streets, for attempting to cut Geo. Fisher, also colored, with a razor. Mary had im bibed part of a quart of "Fort Pickens rum," and felt quite fightish. She intimated that she would cut the heart out of George Fisher—"or any other man"—who was disposed to interfere with her.—r Alderman Kline held the fighting damsel to bail for her appearance at court. Mrs. Christopher Columbus Van Riper was ar rested by the same officer, and taken before Alder man Kline, where she was charged by Bridget M'Gurk with threatening to "do her great bodily harm." Being a violation of the statute in such cases made and provided, Mrs. Van Riper was held to bail by the Alderman for her appearance at court. Officer Lewis arrested a man named A. B. Win throp for peddling jewelry without a license. The accused stated before Alderman Maglaucblin that be was not aware of the law prohibiting him sell ing without a license, and that his health was poor, and no funds to pay the fine. The Alderman let him off by paying the costs. Mr. W. w ill pro bably leave these parts with his jewelry. THE Nuw WORKSHOPS:—We paid a, visit to the new workshops of the Pennsylvania railroad com pany yesterday. A number of workmen from Parkesburg were engaged about the several build ingsi in cleaning and putting up the machinery. Workmen were engaged in putting up the engine that is intended to drive the machinery, and it is , expected that in a few weeks everything wilt be in readiness to be put in operation. Mr. Shattuck, formerly of the Colunibia shops, has charge of the new establishment. MAD Does.—lt would seem that with the de parture of severe weather some instances of the development of hydrophobia have occurred in this city and vicinity. No positive case cf the disease has come under our observation yet, although sev eral have been reported. All dogs that are of any value should be securely muzzled, and the yelping worthless curs immediately despatched. That's our remedy. WILL NOT SEuve.—Mr. Henry Becker, of the Third ward, who was elected constable at the late city election, has stated his intention not to serve. Mr. B. has been constable for several years past, and has discharged his duty with fidelity. He has entered into the baking business which occupies so mush of his time as to preclude the possibility of serving as constable of the Third ward. "GAY AND HArry."—Tlae State Capital have re ceived the new tune, "Gay and Happy," and played it for the first time last night. It decidedly one of the finest pieces of music we have heard for a long while, and the manner in which the band played it was evidence sufficient of their superior musical skill. NEW AnruvaL.—William Templin, merchant tailor, has just arrived from the cities of Philadel phia and New York with an elegant assortment of fashionable spring goods, consisting of pants pat terns, vestings, &0., ite. Persons who are desirous of presenting a fine appearance in a neatly fitting suit of clothes, should give him a call. Store in Market street, next door to Mr. Brady's jewelry store. f THE Bran Law.—A correspondent of one of the papers in the interior recommends the appoint ment of a committee by the several county agri cultural societies, representing every township and borough in each county, with special instructions to inquire after and prosecute every one who dis regards the laws of the State in regard to the pro tection of birds. We commend the,suggestion to our society. DEATH OFJOSEPH KONIGMACIIER.—We learn from the Lancaster Express that Mr. Jos. Kon igmacher, of Lancaster county, died in that city on Thursday, after a brief illness. Mr. K. was in public life a considerable time, having served in the Legislature hero several terms. He was well known in this city, and his extended circle of friends will be pained to hear of his demise. Axaornowts.—There is no good thine, perhaps, says a eotemporary, that many persons are so much afraid of as fresh, pure air. People pack them selves away as closely in their houses, and keep every door and window as tightly closed as though the outside atmosphere was poisonous; they lock themselves up as tightly in their bed-rooms at night, as though fresh air was as much to be dreaded as a burglar armed with bludgeon and pistol, and they complain next morning of feeling wretched and unrefreshed, when they have for hours been consuming over and over again foul air, which had lost all its life-sustaining principle. So long as people choose to thus deprive them selves, individually, of one of the greatest bles sings we enjoy, it is their own affair, and they are themselves the principal sufferers; but there is an other view of this aerophobia in which all who go into crowded halls or public conveyances, are in terested. Churches, concert rooms, theatres, and other public places are apt to be bat poorly venti lated; and headache, vertigo, dsc., are the penalties inflicted upon those who are compelled in crowded assemblies, to inhale air which has lost its requi site proportion of oxygen. Railway cars are par ticularly liable to this complaint. In the cars run ning on roads out of the city, the passengers are often not only required to breathe a half-poisonous atmosphere, but the cruelty of the thing is aggra vated by the presence of a red hot stove, which cooks the little air remaining, and roast the poor half-sickened passengers. "Do not put your heads out of the windows !" (perhaps the latter cannot be opened,) and "Do not stand upon the platforms while the ears are in motion!" are the injunctions which stare the passenger in the face, and prevent him from bettering his wretched condition. Providence has supplied us with an atmosphere some fifty miles in height around the earth. Fresh air is plentiful, and it le as foolish to breathe a tainted atmosphere when a full supply of pure air can be obtained, as it would be insane to drink foul water beside a crystal spring. Ventilation is an important subject, and it cannot be ventilated too freely or too frequently. MIISLINS, MUSLINS, MUSLINS !-1,000 yards the very best Unbleached Muslin, 10 cents; 2.000 yds. beautiful Bleached Muslims, 10 cents; 2,000 yards of the best long Cloth Muslin, 121 1 cents; which I will sell by the piece at 11-1 cents.
