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.

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.

PROF. WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVE
READ WHAT A DISTINGUISHED PHYSICIAN
OF ST. LOUIS SAYS OF In
O. J. Woon, Esq.: Dear Sir—Allow me the pleasure
and satisfaction to transmit to you the beneficial effects
of your Hair Restorative after a trial of five years I
commenced using your Restorative in January. 1855,
. since which time I have not been without a bottle on
hand. When I commenced the us; my hair was quite
thin, and at least one-third gray. A few applications
stopped its &Ding, and In three weeks time there was
not a gray hair to be found, wither has therebeen up to
this time.
After my hair was completely restored, I continued its
use by applying two or three times per month. My hair
has ever centime ed healthy, soft and glossy, and my scalp
perfectly free from dandruff. 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. Wood's Restora
