Caawsw.—Several large guns known as Colum biads passed through this city yesterday, on the Pennsylnania railroad, on their way to the navy yard at Philadelphia. The guns were accompanied by a lot of shell, destined for the same place. larva SrocK.—Three hundred and fifty car loads of live stock passed over the Lebanon Valley rail road to New York during the month of March.— Most of this stock laid over and was re-shipped at the drove-yards of this city. The Democratic citizens of the Pi4th ward will meet at the public house of John Raymond on Sat urday evening next, at in o'clock, far the purpose of electing an executive committee to serve for the ensuing year. By order of the Executive Com mittee. at. "LITTLE BOBBY" will accompany Signor Blitz and be present at the etertninment this evening at Brant's Hall. "Bobby" is a character calculated to make one.split his aides, and those who have never seen him should not lose the present oppor tunity. Frea.—The alarm of fire yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, was occasioned by the burning of the roof of the frame engine house of the Pennsylvania railroad company, near the foot of Fourth street. The several fire companies were promptly on the ground, but their services were not needed. Caw. Boma Ann Suoss.—Mr. J. C. Kimball, of Philadelphia, has opened a new shoe store in Wyeth's building, No. 38/ Market street. He has a very fine assortment of all kinds of men's and women's wear, which he is selling very cheap.— Give him a call. OUR WIRRILLY.—The PATRIOT AND UNION for this week is an admirable number and will be issued to-day. It gives a large amount of miscellaneous reading, market reports, and the news of the week, together with the political news of the day. Sin gle copies, with Of Without wrappers, can be bad at the office. Risen AvEntrz.—The contractors for grading Ridge avenue are pushing the work forward to completion, and expect to have it finished in a few weeks. We understand that quite a number of new houses will be built upon this beautiful street this summer, but their erection will not be com menced until the street is properly graded. risen Faints.—Oar friend Dan Callender, the obliging and gentlemanly keeper of the city look-up, declares that with his business it is either a "feast or a famine." Yesterday morning not a solitary case appeared before the Mayor, and the previous night not a solitary lodger asked for quarters. This state of affairs is really gratifying. Tax Halmos: Cron.—The first cotillion party of the Harmony Club will given in the new con cert hall at the Exchange this evening. The room has been fitted up in excellent style, and the music engaged for the occasion is of the best in the city. We have reason to believe from the reputation of managers that the affair will be a pleasant one.— Those who enjoy the pleasures of the dance should not fail to attend. PLEasarrr.--While the "bleak wills of March" have been making us "tremble and shiver," and the varying smiles of coquettish April have brought little more of comfort with them than the "bleak winds" aforesaid, the folks of the Crescent City have been luxuriating in summer pants and straw hats, green peas, artichokes, and such other de lightful privileges. We hope that in seceding from us, the "balmy South" has not taken Summer away from us too. DASTARDLY CoraAux.—A young girl from Bain bridge, Lancaster eonnty, about 18 years of age, came to this city on Tuesday evening, on her way to a brother's, who resides near Williamsport.— While walking in the neighborhood of the Penn sylvania canal, she was accosted by three young men, who offered to procure her a night's lodging. Being friendless, and without money, ebe readily accepted their offer, and accompanied them up the towing path. When the kill reached an old stable near the State street bridge, the party dragged her into the building, where the whole three brutally violated her person. The infamous scoundrels kept the girl in the stable all night, and her condition yesterday morning rendered it necessary to procure the services of a physician. Information was made before Justice Beader, and the three villians were arrested and sent to prison. Their names are Jacob Grubb, Robert hi'Neal and Jerry Schindel, the latter bailing from Lebanon. As Court will meet in a week or so, we hope the fall penalty of the law will be dealt out to these inhuman scoun drels. Thu FRIENDSHIP STEAM FIRE ENCINE.—TIie steam fire engine new being built for the Friend ship company of this city, will be ready for deliv ery in the course of six weeks. The steamer, al though light in its weight, is one of the improved construction, and wherever they have been used they have, given entire satisfaction. It is COD staveted to throw two streams, fitted with a sepa rate outlet and gate for each of the streams, and fitted for a connection of suction hose. The engine has one steam cylinder, eight inches in diameter, and one double acting vertical plunger pump of 41 inches diameter; and twelve inches stroke. The builder guarantees that, at a fair working speed, it will discharge 350 gallons of water a minute, threw two 1 inch streams 180 feet each, or one stream, of one inch, 250 feet. It will be mounted upon high wheels, with easy, ellipical springs, and will be fitted with a pole, to be drawn by hand or horses, as occasion may require. The whole weight of the engine, ready for service, is only about 4,600 pounds—not much heavier than the hand engines now used here. The cost of the en gine will be $3,100. A number of persons who have subscribed to the company. for the first pay ment, have not yet paid up, and, as a committee is at present on a collecting tour, we hope our citi zens will ice the necessity of being prompt in their paNnents. -- - POISONED LIQUORS.-A cotetaporary speaking of the poisoned liquors which are dealt out at our sheep rum shore, says that it is made from the commonest kind of whisky, such as is used for manufacturing purposes. The article in its raw state costs about twenty cents a gallon, anti by means of certain drugs, known to the initiated, the quantity of the liquor is largely increased, while its fierce strength is not impaired. The "doctored" liquor has also different flavors given it, and the dispenser of the poisonous stuff furnishes his cus tomers with "fine old cognise," "choice gins," "ex cellent Jamaica spirits," &c., Le., all out of the same originalbarrel. This stuff is generally sold at 12 cents a quart, so that when the diluting anti drugging are taken into account, the profit of the retailer is run up to 200 or 300 per cent. This is , the liquor which is huckstered at the petty groce ries and low taverns in various parts of the city, and this it is (or its manufacturers) that is respon sible for the crimes instigated by its maddening influence. But there is a still lower depth of degradation to which the liquor-drugger and his customer de scend. In the groggeries of Baker, Bedford and Spofford streets a full glass of rum is sold for one cent. More drugs are needed to enable the retailer to eke out his profit at this price, and cayenne pepper is freely used to help up the strength of the compound. This can scarcely be called "fighting whiskey." Its customers have got past that stage, and their livid faces and half paralyzed limbs tell the story of the degree they have taken in the career of self imposed misery. There is generally but one or two steps beyond hatitual indulgence in penny-a glass whisky. Unless constrained abstinence in the prison or the almshouse comes in time to save the 'victim of the witches' mess, called liquor in those localities, the coroner steps in to close the scene, and the history of the one more unfortunate is summed up in the brief but expressive sen tence, "Died from intemperance, want and expo sure." King Alcohol has his victims, and they are, un fortunately, not few ; but we believe that a very large proportion of those who are charged to his account should be set down to the cupidity of un principled men, who mingle poison with the cup to swell their own gains. AN Axe:mutt Ntorroa.—The witty editor of the Nashville Patriot recently solicited a friend—an amateur editor—to supply the printer's with copy during his (the editor's) temporary absence from the office. The success of the arrangement is thus related: Finding that there was no call for copy at the end of half an hour, Cobbwebb found the editorial business dryer than the sort he had been used to, and went out to get a drink. When a man of Cobb webbia temperament and natural tendency to thirst, deliberately goes out to get a drink, be seldom thinks it worth his while to return to the post of duty until he has taken several. Consequently, when Cobbwebb got back to the office he wore a veil of invisible gauze over his eyes, his legs were as limber as a log chain, and, to tell the truth, he couldn't tell an inkstan d a soup-kettle, nor a pair of scissors from a saw-horse. In the midst of this state of things, there was a demand for copy. Cobbwebb aroused himself to meet the demand.— The printer placed the scissors and a copy of a Cin cinnati paper in his hands. "Here," said Cobb webb, "hie—here's some poetry; when you (hie) get that cot up, come (hie) back and get some (hie) some more." Cobbwebb's poetry was as follows : DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY. On Central avenue. Square 16, Lots 27 and 28. 12, Lot 67 feet front. On Western avenue. Square 19, Lots 4 to 17, inclusive. " 11, Lots 1 to 11. 4. 14, Lot 2. On Dayton street. Square 14, Lots 6 and 22. " 9, Lots 7 to 8 inclusive. " 7, Lots .7 to 22. On Freeman street. Square 3, Lots 2 and 3. On Coleman street. Square 3, Lots 1 to 4, inclusive. . 5, Lots 1 to 4. On Denman street. Square 5, Lots 5 and 6. On Garden street. Square 3, Lots 24 to 28, inclusive. When we returned, at 1 o'clock, we found Cobb webb seated in the coal scuttle, engaged in a dreamy attempt to clip a piece of copy out of the brim of his hat with the tongs. FEARFUL RAILROAD RIDE.-A newspaper cor respondent took a ride on a fast train upon one of our railroads. He gives the following graphic de scription of his ride: Twenty-nine miles in thirty liiinutes 1 Describe it? Impossible. I have always noticed that engi neers were quiet, dignified, sober people, and now I understand it. I should regard a joking, trifling engineer, as I would a jolly, whittling under taker. Describe my ride on the Huron ! Never ! The whistle nearly blew my ears off; the rushing air wore out my eyes; the joggling of the engine as it leaped from rail to rail all but broke the end of my backbone off; my hat, which was blown away in less than a minute after we started, was caught by the fireman in a miraculous manner; and every nerve in my body jumped, squirmed and wired, and relentlessly the iron steed kept up to "time." Now the head of a luckless hen was neatly taken off; then two Hibernian gentlemen, who were qui etly smoking by the road-aide, were apparently frightened out of their . wits, and before they bad recovered them, we had rushed frantically, fear fully by a station, in such close proximity to a freight train that I held my breath, and trembled, lest the next second should be my last. I had no idea .before of the manner in which an engine "jumps," but Ido now. While we,were going at this terrific speed, while the mileposts succeeded each other so swiftly that they seemed like fence stakes., and while the various growths of wheat, oats, potatoes and corn looked as if they were planted in a heap, the engine would jump, leap, skip and roll like a frightened horse, and in a "dreadful unsartin" manner. After a little I be came used to the unnatural rush with which we were going, and I had more leisure to watch the engineer. He was as calm as a May morning. He pulled a rod and an unearthly scream was beard. He pushed another one, and the speed, already like that of the arrow's dart, became that of the light ning's flash. All was raider his control, and I could but admire his coolness, the firmness of purpose and quickness of execution. No wonder that he le a quiet, uncommunicative person; he deals with facts, between which and unrevealed horror there is but a hand's breadth, and coming at any moment eau only be warded off or remedied by his skill.— I was glad, and yet sorry, when the twenty-nine miles were finished; glad because physically I was about used up, sorry because I was mentally fasci nated and charmed by the novel soneatione expe rienced during the ride. COPPER FIRE-BOXES.—The Pennsylvania Rail road Company have, for several years past, been using copper fire-boxes on coal-burning engines, twenty-two of which were put in during last year. It is stated that the average duration of a copper fire-box, using Pittsburg coal for fuel, has been five Years, while the average of iron fire-boxes is from eighteen to twenty-two months. The cost of put ting in a copper fire-box, labor and material, is $910; deduct value of old material, when renewed, $230; making the net cost per engine $6BB. Th e net cost for iron fire-box is $479. As two iron fire. boxes will not last as long as one of topper, there is a difference of nearly $3OO in favor of the cop per. The company are also making arrangements to test thoroughly the value of Gill ha Co.'s patent, as applied to locomotives, by which, it is said, the smoke and gas will be consumed, and the engine work more economically. If the experiments prove successful, they will be of great value to the railway interest. FREIGHT AND PASSENGER CARS ON THE, PENNSYL VAN/A RAILROAD,—A few days since we published a paragraph, giving the number of engines re quired on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The fol lowing shows the number of passenger and freight cars, now on the line : Wide passenger cars, 8 wheeled, 56; narrow, do., 12; emigrant cars, 31; baggage ears 27; express, 8; house cars, 1276; stock do., 188; truck do., for coal and lumber, 273; truck do., for wood, 72; house cars, 4 wheeled, 109; coal do., 101; gravel do., 99; road and hand cars, 282; making a total of 2534 cars. - In reference to the repairs to freight cars, the general foreman of the department elates that it has been found necessary, in many cases, to renew the bottom timbers, in consequence of bolsters not being sufficiently strong to carry the load; when this is the case the longitudinal timbers give way and break across the centre plate. This is a source Of much trouble and expense. A heavy side bearing is also another objectionsl feature iu the car stock of the road, by which it is prevented from yielding readily to va riations of track and curves. To overcome these defects, the foreman has adopted the plan of using a centre plate, with fifteen inch diameter bearing, in an oil channel well protected, having a flange in the upper plate to foot a truss wainst, sup ported or sustained by tension rods running across the car. The side bearings are kept three-eights of an inch clear, which will allow the truck to run any curve freely. This improvement has been ap plied at the different, shops to 112 eight wheeled cars, and thus far the result has been quite favora ble. It is claimed that it will prove a saving to the company in the amount of power required to move a given number of cars will be less injurious to rails and roadways, and prove of great value in the reduction of expenses in maintenance of cars, as the truss bolster will keep the ear body in its proper shape, and allow the truck to curve without straining. In keeping the track in order during the past year, between Philadelphia and Colum bia, 860 tons of irca rails, 4538 wrought iron chairs, 57,670 cross ties, 50,805 lbs. of spikes and 13,756 cubic yards of ballast, were required. CONVICTED.—WiIIiam Weaver, the man who was arrested some time ago, below this city, for poisoning his wife in Perry county, had a trial last week, and was found gbilty of murder in the first degree. A motion was made for a aew trial, the arguing of which has been laid over until an adjourned court, to be held in three weeks. We have learned nothing of the particulars of the trial, or the nature of the evidence which led to his convictien. The trial lasted three days. The verdict of the jury was brought in on Friday night. Weaver manifested but little concern when the verdict was read. ANOTHICR EXPLOSION.—The boiler at the cotton mill became rambunctious again yesterday, and had a regular blow ont ; in fact, it seceded and would not work with the other machinery, and the consequence war, that the operatives were thrown out of work for a day or two. But old steam f‘biler" must succumb, and come to terms in a day or two. An army of mechanics have been sent, and the place is now in their possession, and the presumption is, that the flag of truce will be shown on Friday, and the bands will resume work. NEW RAILROAD SCHEDULE.—WO learn that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will change their schedule of running trains somewhat about the 15th of the present month. No definite arrange ment has yet been fixed upon, and the announce ment of the change will not be off►cially made until a few days prior to its going into effect. The two through trains to New York city, via the Lebanon Valley Railroad, will commence running about the 15th Ina t. To-morrow is the anniversary of tho birth of henry Clay. At a period like the present, when intestine strife, disunion and sectionalism stare us in the face, the natal day of the great statesman and patriot is a proper time for a demonstration in behalf of the " ballot before the bullet." Would that the Sage of Ashland were alive to-day and in the councils of the nation. A BIG Hent..—Marens Cohen, a resident of Run tingdon, and an attache of the Broad Top Railroad Company, went to Philadelphia on Monday eve ning, and was robbed of $1,200 on leaving the cars. The .eum was all in Pennsylvania bank notes. NEW ARRIVAL l NEW ARRIVAL l--Just received a large assortment of new spring goods.

I do not imagine the facts above mentioned will be of any particular advantage to you, or even flatter your vanity at this late day, as I am well aware they are all well known already, and even more wonderful ones throughout the Union. I have oc cupied my time in traveling the greater part of the time the past three years, and have taken pride and pleasure in recommending your Restorative and exhibiting its effects in my own ease. In several instances I have met with people that have pronounced it a humbug ; saying they had used it, and withouteffect. In every instance, however, it proved by probing the matter, that they had not used the article at all, but had used some new arti cle, said to be as good as yours, and selling at about half the price. I have noticed two or three articles myself advertised as above, which I have no doubt are humbugs. It is astonishing that people will patronize an article of no reputation, when there is one at hand that has been proved beyond a doubt. Apparently. some of those charlatans have not brains enough to write an advertisement, as I notice they have copied yours, word for word in several instances, merely inserting some other name in place of yours. I have, within the past five years ' seen and talked with more than two thousand persons that have used your preparation with perfect success—some for baldness, gray hart, scald head, dandruff, and every disease the scalp and head are subject to. I called to see you, personally, at your original place of business here, but learnedgou were now living in New York. You are at liberty to publish this or to refer parties to me. Any communication addressed to me, care box 1920, will be promptly answered. Yours, truly. JAMES WHITE, M. D. Warren Springs, Perry Co., PA., June 7th, 1850. PROF. Woon : Dear Sir—l was induced more than a year ago to try your valuable Hair Restorative, for the purpose of cleansing my head of dand , uff I bad suf fered with it upon my head for years. and had never been able to get anything to do me any good in removing it, although I had tried many preparations, until I saw your advertisement in a Harrisburg paper. Being there at the time, I called at Gross & Ross's Drug Store and bought a bottle, and now am prepared to recommend it to universal use, for it has completely removed all (land ruff from my head, and an application once in two weeks keeps it free from any itching or other unpleasantness.— I must also state that my hair had become quite white in places, and, by the use of your preparation, has been restored to its original color. lam now 50 years of age, and although I have used two bottles of the Restora tive, no one has any knowledge of it, as I allow a few gray hairs to remain in order to have my appearance comport with my age. My head is now of lees trouble to me, in keeping it clean, &c., than at any time since I have been. achild. I consider your preparationofgreat value, and although I do not like to expose myself, I consider it my duty to say so. You can use this, or any part of it, in any shape you think proper, if it is worth anything to you. Yours, &c., H. H. ETTER. Bloomington, Ind., July 20th, 1859. Dear Sir :—I here send you a statement that I think you are entitled to the benefit of. I am a resident of Bloomington and have been for over thirty years. lam now over 50 years of age. For about twenty years past my hair has been turning considerably gray, and was almost entirely white, and very stiff and unpliant. I had seen a number of certificates of the very wonderful effect of your Hair Restorative, bat supposed there was MOM fiction than truth in them but entertaining a strong desire to have my hair, if possible, restoredto its original color and fineness, as it was in my younger days a beautiful black, I concluded I would make the experi ment, commencing in a small way. I purchased one of your small bottles, at one dollar ' and comm'meed using, following directions as nearly as .1 could. I soon discov ered the dandruff removed, and my hair, that was fall ing off in large quantities, was consid.xahly tightened. and a radical change taking place in the color. I have continued to use it till I have used three of your sma'l bottles, and just begun on the fourth. I have now as pretty a head of dark brown, or light black hair, as any man, or as t had in ma youthful days when a boy in the hills of Western Virginia,. My head is entirely clear of dandruff, and the hair ceased entirely fallmg off, and is as soft and fine, and feels as oily, as though it was just from under the hands of a French shampooer. Many of my acquaintances I requent ly say to me, "Butler, where did you get that fine wig ? 70 I tell them it Was , the ef fects of your Restorative. It is almost impossible to convince them that it is the original hair of the same old gray head. Yours, truly, FREDERICK T. BUTLER, Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana. Pao?. WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVE .—ln another col umn will be found an advertisement of this well-known and excellent preparation for restoring gray hair to its original color. The Hair Restorative also Cures cuts• neous eruptions, and prevents the hair falling off. We have seen many authentic testimonials in proof of these assertions, some of which are from gentlemen whom we have known for many rears as persons of the most re liable character. Don't dye till yon have tried this Re storative.—Boston Olive Branch. W 001 3 78 HAIR R&SroßArcvn. —re are not in the habit of puffing every new discovery, for nine cases of ten they are quack nostruins : but we take great pleasure in recommending Professor Wood's articte to all whose ha;r is falling Mr, or turning gray. Our well-known contri butor. Finley Johnson, Esq., has experienced the bene fits of its application, and joins with us in speaking of its virtues. Let all try it, and bald heads will be es rare as snow in Summer.—Baltimore Patriot. WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVE .—Unlike most specifics, this is proved, by unimpeachable ev deuce, to possess great effivaey as a restorer of the hair to its pristine vigor. Where the head had become almost bald because of sickness, the use of this arti,:le has produced a beau tiful growth of thick, glossy hair. It is thereforea val uable preparation for all classes. Its ingredients are such as to effectually eradicate dandruff and other im purities, which operate so injuriously to the hair. It also has curative properties of another descripti n In many cases pimples and other dis6gurements of the skin disappear wherever it is used. There is no hazard at taching to the trial of this remedy, and its effects can only be beneficial, as the compound. if it does not cause a manifest improvement, is incapable of doing harm, as its component elements are perfectly innoxious.—Bos ton Transcript, April 22, '59. A GENUINE BOON —ln our capacity as conductor of a public journal we are called upon to advertise the cure alls of the day, each of which claims to be unadultera ted in its composition and infallible in its curative ef fects—with what justice we leave our readers to deter mine. In one instance, however—Prof. Wood's Usk Restorative—we are so well assured of the notable qualities of the article that we give it our endorsement as all that its inventor and vender claims it to be. Its effect upon a falling head of hair is universally known 10 be magical; like lime or guano on exhausted land, it brings its crop wherever applied. Our own thatch is fortunately healthy, but we advise our friends 'with sparsely growing hair to trythe Restorative.—Columbia Spy. QUACK NOSTRUM —The majority of hair washes, hair dyes, hair toni..s, hair oils, and the numberlessprepara tions which are now before the public under such ex travagant, hyperbolical and fantastic titles as we see paraded in show windows and newiliaper headings, as hair preparations, are all humbugs of the first w.iter their real merit, when they possess any, is, that they do no harm. Hog's lard, whale oil. lard oil, sweet oil, scented and colored, make up, when in beautiful wrap pers, and white flint glass bottles, the costliest character of tonics, and when thus costly, are baptised with some trl.syllable term, and caught at by verdant young and old of both sexes. such is not the character of Prof. Wood's Bair Restorative. This gentleman comes before the world without any "highfalutin" Xilophloforium or any other a4toundin and startling catchpenny term ; he simply advertises a Hair Restorative—what it espri sees, precisely—and as a Restorative it seta, Buy Professor Wood's Bair Restorative, and as you value your :NOP, aye, your very brains, apply nothing else • for it may be that you will get some worse substance than perfumed lard oil on your cranium. kemeraber.
