Robbery. On Saturday last a man was arrested under very suspicious circumstances on the charge of stealing a sum of money from the bar-drawer of the Farmer's hotel. Re was taken before Justice Ruhe, where an investig,ation took place, but owing to a want of sufficient proof he was discharged from custody. That:Awl-ON-lug Day. To-morrow is the day set apart' by Gov. Thgler as a day of public thanksgiving for the people of Pennsylvania. IVe hope this beautiful edstonrcrilr be duly observed by our citizens, with a sincere desire to recognize and celebrate the goodness of that Providence by which ice have been so signally preserved during the last year from the fearful scourges which have af flicted other portions of our country. In our State, with the exception of a few communities, the blessings of health have prevailed. Surely we•are under the weightiest obligations_to praise the divine clemency that has so kindly spared us. _ _ _ To subscribers Last week we had a paper returned to us by a I'. M. stating that it had been refused. Poi the benefit of persons who arc disposed to dis• continue their payee, we will again state, that we are in the habit of stopping our paper only when the back dues are paid. It is said that a man who would cheat a printer " has a charac tar so black that charcoal would make a White mark on him," and yet there arc persons who after reading our paper ever since we took pos session of the establishment, have the " cheek" to go to the P. M. and request him to send it back to the office of publication, without paying us a red cent: for the time they have had it.— For the benefit of such we here give TIIE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS. 1. Subscribers who do not give express no . lice to the contrary , are.considered as wiring to continue their subscription. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their newspapers, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrearages arc paid. S. If s ubscribers neglect or refuse to take their papers out of the offices to which they arc directed, they are held responsible until they have settled the bills and ordered them discon- tinned. 4. If subscribers remove to other places with out informing the publishers and the newspa pers arc sent to the former direction, they are held responsible. ' 5. The Courts have derided that refusing to take • newspapers from the office, or removing and leaving them uncalled fw, is primitfacie evidence of intentional fraud. G. The United States Courts have also re peatedly decided that a Post Master who neg- Teets to perform his duty by giving seasonable notice, as required by the Post Office Depart tnent, of the neglect of a person to take from the office newspapers addressed to him, renders the Post Master liable to the publisher for the sub- beription price lirllgloud lte v iv al. Last Sabbath evening the first of a series of Telig,ious meetings to revive religion took place in the Methodist Episcopal Church. The pastor announced that all who were disposal to be so lions and who would behave in an orderly and becoming manner were welcome to attend.— The meetings are gerlikally well attended, and arc no doubt productive of much good. During the revival last winter a large number of per sons of both sexes were brought under the in fluence of the religion, and the accession of mem bers to the Church was very numerous.

The rails are laid from Mauch Chunk down to the foot of the l'Carrows, and the grading is so far done as to afford' no cause for the Contractors' delaying the laying of the rails to the dam below the Le high Gap. The grading from South Easton to Bethlehem is nearly completed, and if the rocky section just above Bethlehem were out of the way, there would be nothing to prevent the rails being bad from Catasauqua to South Easton. That rocky section and the ono at Kuntz's dam afford the only obstacles to the whole work being completed and iu running order by the first of January.

We are confident that there are very many who may profit by its perusal :--It makes one less hope d of the future to pass through our streets of an evening and listen to the rude and profane speeches which proceed from crowds of boys, who ought, at such times, to be under the home roof. Parents do not realiZe the responsibility which rests upon them in these matters. They forget that the future character of their children is almost entirely under their control. We be lieve that in most eases the parent may mould the character of his chila as he will. and if, when the child arrives at manhood, he is a source of sorrow and disgrace to the parent, the only con solation which the parent can obtain, is that it is his or her own work. The parent may, even in a town such as this, select the intimate companions of his children. Be should, at least, know the character of those with Whom/ they associate on terinsof inti Macy. There are children whose very companionship is pollution. well _expect that your children may roll in the iiiud without being bedaubed, as that they may mingle with bad boys, as com panions, and not be in some degree debased.— Boys OCT ATthiz have lovber een f an obser l - yes lam a sym pathizing o boys. like to see them happy, cheerful, gleesome. In deed I Cali, hardly understand how a high-toned, useful man can be the ripened fruit of a boy who had not enjoyed a full share of the glad privileges due to youth. But while I watch with a heavy jealous eye all rights and customs which infringe upon the proper rights of boys, I sin equally apprehensive lest parents who arc not fore-thoughtfull, and who have not habi tuated themselves to close observations upon this subject, permit their sons indulgeucies which arc almost certain to result in their de moralization, if not in their total ruin : and, among the habits which I have observed tend ing most surely to ruin, I know of none more prominent than that of parents permitting their sons to be in the streets after nightfall. It is ruinous to their morals in all instances, they acq . uiri! under the cover of night, an unhealth ful state of mind—bad, vulgar, inituoral, and profane language, islaseene practices, criminal sentiments, a lawless turd riotous tearing. Ili deed, it is in the street after nightfall that ) the boys principally acquire the edneatiou of the bad, and capacity for becoming rowdy, dissolute and criminal men. Parents, shoal, in this par ticular have a rigid and inflexible rule, that will not permit a 'son, under any circumstances Whatever, to go into the streets after nightfall, with a view of engaging in out-door sports, or to meet other boys for social ehanoe occupation. A right rule of this kind, invariably adhered to, will soon deaden the desire front such danger ous practices.. Boys should be taught to have ideasnres around the fatally centre table, in reading. in conversation, and in quiet amusements. Boys arc seen in the streets after nightfall, behaving in a manner entirely destructive of all good morals. Fathers and mothers keep your child ren home at night and ce that yon take pains to make your homes pleasant, attractive, and profitable to them. WINTER. We can see standing not very " afar off" old Winter, as if in doubt as to the propriety of an immediate approach. Ile looks like an absent mindtd man undecided what to. do, but still moodily Wending his way on. fie is not a very , warm friend of ours, thoogh on many occasions he has been quite an intimate acquaintance:— We deprecate his ,advent more particularly on account of his noisy friend Dorcas, who delights in making thc)iieliest places his head-quarters. We can already feel his chilling breath, render ed more unpleasant from his arctic diet. Conic on, old fellow—well laugh at your, folly—sport on your frozen breath with a merry jingle of bells, and dance and dream to the music of your midnight howlings. We would rejoice ,if every one whom he visits could welcome his approach with a gladsome smile, being in all readineSs to associate with him for a few monthi. As Bar mini would say, let us " love God and be met . : ry"—winter or no winter. The Newspaper. The newspaper is the chronicle of civlization —thelcommon reservoir into which every strcav pours its living waters, and at which every nit. may come to drink. I 6 is the newspaper that gives to liberty its practical life, its constant observathis perpetual vigilance, its unre 'axing activit ~ The newspaper informs legis lation of publ co&on, and informs the people. of the acts of legislation. And this is not all. The newspaper teems with the most practical morality ; in its reports of crime and puinish ment you find a daily warning against tempta _tion ; nor a single trial of a wretched 'outcast or a trembling felon, that does not preach to us the awful lesson how impudence leads to error, how error conducts to guilt, how guilt reaps its bitter fruit of anguish and depredation. The newspaper is the familiar bond that binds to gether man and man—no matter what may be aistance of climate or the dial:l.mm of race.

Villainous Fraud. The Cincinnati Enquireenarrates the follow ing distressing afFair that occurred on Thursday evening last, near Osborne, Ohio: It appears that about threo' years since a farmer named William Ricketts left his family to seek his fortune in the gold mines or Califor nia. About seven mouths since Mrs. R. re ceived infOrmation from a person representing himself as coining direct from San Francisco that her husband bad died. The wife believed the story and manifested much distress of mind upon the receipt of the intelligence. 'Her in formant, whose name is William T. Gaylord,_ manifested much sympathy for Mrs. 11. in her bereavement, and frequently visited the house to condole with her in her affliction. The un suspecting wife, appreciating the kindness of Gaylord, tendered him the hospitalities of her house and. home. Gaylord, with an apparent indifference, declined the offer, but finally pro-. posed to accept the same on condition of mar riage. The astonished Mrs. It. at first declined, but afterwards agreed to let the matter stand open until Gaylord should call again. In the interim Gaylord abstracted from the post offlee all letters directed to Mrs. Ricketts and one from her husband ho opened, perused, and de stroyed: The letter stated that he did not in tend to return home for three years, but was very anxious to see his wife. Gaylord- again called on Mrs. Ricketts and insisted upon an answer to Lis proposition. Mrs. li., after a few 'moments' reflection, consented to the union, anti tlic time for their marriage was set. The day came, they were married, and by their mar riage Mr. Gaylord came into possession of a . rarm valued at several thousand dollars. Soon after their marriage Mr. Gaylord pro his wife to sell out and move to Kan sas, and there locate for life. The wife con sented, and thofarm t - as advertised for sale at a sacrifice. The advertisement was seen by Mr. Ricketts in San Francisco. Enraged and cha grined, Mr. 11. took the first steamer and ar rived in Osborne on Wednesday evening last.— m r . R. made diligent inquiries, and learned the facts as above stated. Arming himself with a knife and a brace of pistols, he went to his house about 10 o'clock at night. All was quiet. Ricketts rapped at the door •streral times. It was filially opened by Mrs. Gaylord, and Rick etts entered. Mrs. G. threw on her di - ess, and, lighting the candle, turned to look upon the stranger who had come at such an unseasona ble hour of. the night. A shriek, and the ex pression of ' Great God ! Ricketts is that you?' followed, and the astonished, affrighted wife fell insensible to Ow tloor. Gaylord, who was in an adjoining room, rushed out to sec what had lump - Ricketts inunediately seized him by the iroat and plunged the knife into his side, and lien went to where his unfortunate wife was Lying cut her on the shoulder and neck, and left the premises. The wife reowering, informed the neighbors of what hail transpired, and im mediate search was made for Ricketts. Relies undoubtedly made a successful escape. Gay lord was lying very low when last heard from, and the probability is that he must die. :22111 mom MUM US ( 'Tribute of gek:pect. The.

The boys are all up in alarm at this proposed innovation. The matter is a subject of serious discussion.

Singular Sureide , Early yesterday morning - , says the St. Louis Republican of the 3d instant, the body of a young man, genteelly dressed, was timnd on the levee, between Myrtle nd Elm streets. Ile was about five feet seven inches high, had on a black cloth overcoat, black cloth pants, patent leather shoes, gingham shirt, and black 'silk handkerchief. The cause of his death is ex plained in the following letter, written in the French language, which was found upon his person : " 1 beseech the person who finds my body not I to make inquiry, for the act was mine—l am I my own murderer. My name is Francis Henry de Longuille. I was born. in Paris on the 4th day of April; 1828. My family were in the great enterprise of 1849. I was married to a rare spirit, and I thought my happiness would . always contidue. I left my =five land with a small family in the month of May, and arrived in New Orleans the 24th of July, 1854. But alas! after tasting of happiness for fifteen days, a great fatality overtook me. My dear be- Loved wife was attacked with cholera, and, after two hours of great suffering, she died. She was hardly enshrouded when my little boy, aged three years, died of the same disease. My dis tress was great, but God had left me a little girl, thirteen months old, which gave me strength to resist the misfortune that had oc curred to me, and in this little innocent I could see the likeness of my beloved wife, and I could ask no more of Cod but to live for my child. But God Was willing again to afilici by taking everything thas was left for me in this world. On the 20th of October last I had the misfor tune to close the eyes of my treasure. my child pacing nothing to condole nw. I resolved to qui life myself. Let no one •blame me, for Life wa: a burden."

Monroe county, in which he states that Aaron McMul lin, awl some ten or twelve years, was killed by the bite of a rattlesnake under the following ' circumstances : It seems that the head of the snake had been severed from its body and laid on a log. The little fellow had forgotten the head was there, and laid his arm in its mouth, which WAS instantly closed on it, and was only disengaged by pulling it off with his other hand, tearing a vein and an artery of his arm. Ile died in 24 hours from the effects of the bite. Twining IVAitsno:.—A short time since, a young man, residing a few miles from Syra cuse, New York, canie to that city, imbibed a quantity of whiskey, and under its influence went home and into his father's barrel fitctory, where he insisted on putting a block through the machine. In doing so he got both wrists under the blade, which severed his hands from his arms, so that they barely hang by the skin. Too much besotted to know what liad happen ed, he went to the brook to wash off the blood, when he discovered his terrible condition—for attempting to use his hands, they dropped from his arms. Thus mutilated he met his mother in the door, who swooned at the fearful sight.
