OTHER NUISANCES—DRAYS AT STREET CROSS
INGS—UNLICENSED HAWKERS
AN D VKDI.AKS, AC.
In addition to the nuisances mentioned in
oar last, affecting the health of our citizens,
tbore area number of other provisions, made
for the convenience of the public and the prop
or regulation of tho city, the enforcement of
which is constantly neglected. To these we
shall refer briefly, remarking that if we had a
sufficient police force they could be generally
carried Into efl'ect, which is at present almost
out of the question.
Under Ibis head we find, first, a penalty of
$2 imposed fer suffering a dray, wagon, cart,
carriage or any vehicle to remain on any pub
lic square, street or alley, for more than two
hours. Thon one prohibiting the throwing or
piling oT coal upon the foo.ways, and provi
ding tjiat the same shall be placed on the street
and removed within twelve hours, under like
penalty. Tbe same forfeiture is also imporod
for using awning rails which come within less
than seven feet of tbe pavement. $5 is exacts
<d for obstructing the sidewalk by overhang*
iftg roofs, ouUt&irs or small buildings, $5 for
projecting sign boards, except at taverns on
tbe corners of streets, and $lO for a jut or bulk
window to incommode the passage, or a step or
cellar door extending more than four feet up
on the footway. $5 is the fino for leaving
building materials on the street so as to occupy
more than one half: or for sifting dry lime or
mixing, mortar on the streets, or for permitting
building materials or rut bish to lie in tbe
streets for more than a week after the comple
tion of new buildings A wise provision has
been made requiring that when a new building
has reached tho heigbth of one story or an old
one ip to be unrooted or taken down, a sub
stantial covering must be erected over tho
sidewalk, so as to permit its free use and pro
tect paasers-by from falling missiles, for a vio
lation of this a tine of $6 per day is the forfeit.
A fine of $2 is imDosed for placing on any
street, lane, alley or tquare, any substance,
(except for the purpose of loading or unload*
log, removing or storing away,) and where
merchants do use the foot-walk, temporarily,
in day light, for the temporary deposit of
goods, they must leave an unobstructed pas
sage of five feet—on Market street four.
Of another class are the following, which are
jperbaps more frequently violated: Throw
ing, casting or firing any squib, rocket or fire
work in the streets, subject* the offender to x
penalty of five dollars, as does also the making
or assisting In making any bonfire, or wanton
ly burning shaving?, or other combustibles in
the streets; while tbe Hying of a kite in ihe
streets is punishable by a fine of $l. Blasting
/rock is restricted by wholesome regulations,
flritfci& the city limits. A permit must first bo
(Obtained from the Mayor; then a barrier must
be erected to prevent the rolling or projection
otlsrge stones over precipices or Injuring any
adjacent property, and each blast to be cover
ed wilt wicker work or something to prevent
small pieces ol stone from being thrown upon
the 6treet or adjacent property. For violation
}be penalty is $lO to s6u. The latter sum ia
fijtga as a penally for keeping more than thir
ty pounds of gunpowder at a time in any
boose, collar, shop, warehouse, boat or apart
ment. or conveying any more than the quan
tity named through the city without securing
it in a good bag or bags, or within a canvass or
other like covering to prevent teatiering. A
penalty of $3 is imposed for the burning out of
a chimney which had not been swept for one
month previous slu for ibe first offence and
$2O for every month atler, is the forfeit for
having a chimney projecting less than three
loet above the roof, ana chimneyß of manufac'
Lories must be carried to such a height as to j
prevent danger from fire and inconvenience
from smoke. When bouses of different eleva
tions join, tbe chimney of the lower building
must be constructed so high that the sparks,
fire or smoke shall not injure or disfigure olh
buildiogs. Tho penalty fur these violations
is $K' f° r l^e off&ncH and $5O fur every
month ol continuance. $5 is the penalty for
insecure stoves and pipes, or fur a pipe pro
jecting into any street or alley. After the fire
ofISTS, an ordinance was passed requiring the
erection of parapet pr fire walls, at least nine
inches high, between the roofs of all buildings,
under penalty of $2O. This we believe, is gen
erally enforced, but another part of the xaoio j
ig thal requirng all buildings to ‘'havo |
dormer-windows, rcuttlcs, or traps in lh<i roof, j
and also ladders or steps to afford acoess to
chimney and too f in case of fire. Tho distil- .
lfttion or boiling of turpentine, oil or varnish 1
is prohibited, unless carried on in an open
apace at least thirty feetdistant from any prop
erty that might te injured or in a building
pronounced, by three master brick layers, fire
proo£ under penalty of forfeiting tbe whole of
the article manufactured and SIUU. Another
section proscribes the manner in which bake
houses shall be built and imposes a penalty of
$lO and $26 per month for violation. The
erection of wooden buildings is also prohibited
ulK der penalty of $5OO for tbe first offence, and
the x>me f° r every throe months after erection
the buiiJ’ n ß allowed to remain. These are
good precautionary measures, and ibeir rigid
enforcement wf>uld rendor our security from
fire much greater'
A few more and #0 shall have done. Tbe
bathing nui-ar.ce in .summer is greatly com
plained »t, and we hope to see J,ho ordinance,
which imposes a penalty of $6 for hatting,
between sunrise and half past eight in the eve
ning, In cither of tho rivers, within tbe city
limits, rigidly enforced the coming season.
The dog law, too, is universally neglected.—
U provides that every dog running at large
shall wear a collar bearing its owner’s name
and residence : that all dogs shall be securely
muhzlod from the 15th of Jiiiy to tbe 10th of
September; that tho Mayor shall appoint per
sons to take up, kill and bury all dogs found
running at large, unless as prescribed above,
in the city, they receiving fifty cenU for oa£h
dog. A fine of $6O is imposed for obstructing
the officers in the discharge of their duty.
The enforcement of another section might
save the city from damages and costs in cases of
accident. It is that which require the Street
Oommisioners to notify all persons having
cellars, cellar doorways, vaults or vault-holes,
g opened or exposed, to have them prop
-erly secured, and fixes the penalty fer refus
ing to with such notice at $6 to $6O.
WexlsO hear frequent complaints of persons
(being obiigea to Btand from five to ten tnin
• utee at-a time, waiting for aatring of drays
to pass. There is an ordinance in existence
• requiring drivers of-yehloles following each
other in this manner to keep ai lea?t twelve
feet behind that proceeding him.* It (s very
inconvenient to wait until perhaps fifteen or
twenty drays pass up tVood street, the horses
moving slowly, fora pedestrian to cross, and
we, in common with many others, would be j
glad to see the remedy applied. !
Another matter to which wo desire to call
attention is tbe number of unlicensed hawkers
aL'd pedlers who infest the city, who, if fol
lowed up and sought out, would increase the
revenue ot the city very materially. Aside
from these, too, wo have traveling speculators
in 6oaps, notions and blacking, who sell their
wares in the streets by long speeches and long
vociferations, always attracting crowds and
obstructing the streets. Three months ago one
of th«e itinerant dealers in blacking wia
before the Mayor for violating the ordinances,

but wu released on promising to desist from
obstructing the streets. Since that time we
have seen the lad, almost daily, holding forth
to large crowds, in the streets and on the side
walks, “with none to molest or make him
afraid ” If the police officers did not see him
it is a poor commentary on their vigilahce;
if they did it was their duty to arrest him.
They should take all such persons before the
Mayor and our streets would soon be rid of
these nuisances.
The ordinances against huckstering, &c., are
tolerably well enforced and we shall not refer
especially to them. We have enumerated
enough to show that the wise provisions of our
Councils are not well carried out* When the
abuses we have mentioned are reformed we
may speak of some others, but we really fear
that we shall not for a long time be under the
necessity of seeking out more violated ord in an*
ces if we wait upon the hoped-for reforms.
The Pension Aobncv.—The act of Con
gress withdrawing the payment of pensions
from the banks and establishing distinct agen
cies, allows the agents a commission of two
per cent, on their disbursements, with station
ery, but in no event is the compensation of
an agent to exceed $l,OOO per annum. There
is no allowance for clerk hire. For
the first two or three years, under the act
referred to, the commissions of the agency
have nearly reached the maximum ; but lor
some cause or other, during Mr. Fetterman’s
administration, an agency was established at
Cleveland, withdrawing from this fully one
half of the pensioners on the rolls. Since then,
all the Kevolutionary, and nearly all those of
the War of 1812 have died, so that the com
pensation of the agent does not now amount
to quite $3OO per annum. Kor this meagre
salary he has to give approved security in the
sum of $30,000. besides running tbe risk of
losing payments on vouchers not legally or
formally prepared. Tbe boioplicaUuus now
thrown around the roodition of tbe quarterly
accounts and the numerous reports to be
made, require a man's whole lane, and on
the occasion of the semi-annual payments tbe
service of a clerk, for which, as above staled,
the agent gets no allowance. So tho affair is
no great catch after all. No one can under
stand tbo multifarious laws and incongruous
forms without deep study and tong practical
experience.
A Girl Writinu to hkk Loykysr. —A
friend of ours, who occasionally picks up an
item or two in bis peregrinations, has fur
nished us with u letter which was written a
few days since, by an innocent country dam
sel. to her handsome young loveyer, an en
giner on the Pennsylvania railroad, who fre
quently honors tho flourishing city of Altoona
with his manly pre*onco. Tbe epistle in ralber
on the rich order, and we give it ri
Ltrrciiu . and would say ri pun. 'i-titw-, but
this idea Mary scorns to think superfluous, a*
she has nover mad” a mark. Tho gay .young
ehap with the black moustaches, will no doubt
be pleased to learn that Molly has cut Mr
Smith’s cotton, and if he is sharp he will cer
tainly take advantage of the circumstance.
A gal capable of writing such a loiter, is a
jewel that -hould be highly prized. Hero is
the'lelter. Head it:

Westminster College. —The interior
Western towns have gotten up a lively compe
lion for the location of Westminster College,
recently destroyed by fire at New Wilming*
ton, Lawrence county Various propositions*
have been offered ; the following, from Mer
cer, is the best: A square of lots to be dona
ted for the erection, snd $l,OOO to aid in re
plenishing the librariesof the students, which
were also destroyed. This proposition was re
garded as very liberal, and recoived great fa
vor with the Trustees. Owing to the absence
of several members of the Board, no action
was taken in the matter. The location of tho
buiidings will probably be determined upon
at the next moating.

The tallowing from an editorial in the

pronounced that further conoeision* should

Union. und state* ddinitely that these con
cessions snould have the Cnttend- n resolu
tion lor their liftsis. It declares that re

m*pt, against the pe< p e * »f the aec-nied
States, k< .n l s| ecially, advises the federal
ironii.i t<> !withdrawn Irua Slates where
cndlMou !■> threatened. Firm ami steady in
its expression, it declares lor a National
Convention, in the hope that its delibera
tions may result in measures which will se
cure that object. The same voice has con
sistently' pronounced that there is at present
no adequate cause for retiring from tlie
Union, and refuses at this lime to pledge
Missouri to secession, even in the event that
the rest of the border States secede, or that
no plan of adjustment will be acceded to
iiv the North. The inference may be drawn
from the action of the Convention, that
Missouri is in favor of any peaceable mode
of adjustment calculated to call back the
seceded States, and, in default of obtaining
such measure, as favors steps for bringing
about a peaceable separation between the
Union and the Southern Confederacy.—
Also, her mind is in a state as to the •|iios
tion of retiring from the Union on the 11141-
pening of the contingencies which have
been mentioned. ”
Pu ilad Kuril i a, March 22.—The following
additional particulars of the accident and

mails of the same dat%; besides those, there
were smaller mails lrom several towns. The
pouches were for Harrisburg, Philadelphia and
Washington. The Harrisburg mail was in 5
bags and were all saved .without damage.
The Washington letters were in a |great part
applications from the West for office, though
the addresses and signatures were so nearly
destroyed as to be illegible. They will be sent
to the dead letter office. Munoy letters were
sometimes seen half consumed. In one case,
an epistle containing twenty ton dollar bills
and oae five dollar bill was burned squarely in
half, leaving the half of every noto perfectly
legible while the rest waFcomplelely consumed.

Washington City, March 22 —Senate.—
Mr. Douglas’s resolution calling for informa
tion relative to tho forts, &c , was taken up.
j Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, resumed and con
! eluded his remarks in favor of recognizing the
{ independence of the Confederate States, argu
ing that there is danger of collision unless a
treaty iB negotiated. We cannot bring thorn
! back to the Union by coercion of anus. If
I we do not recognize the independence of these
Slates, foreign nations will, and this would
be calculated to produce a collision between
the two sections of the country.
Mr. How, of Wisconsin; opposed the resolu
tion of Mr. Douglas, first, because it seemed to
him, so far, at least, as the mover of it was
concerned, to be wholly unnecessary, for it
appeared to him from the Senator’s argument,
that he already possessed the information be
sought to obtain. He was also opposed to it
for tho reason that he was not satis tied that
the Secretary of War has the information
desired. But a short time had elapsed sinee
tbe latter entered on tho duties of his office.
He was not at all cortain that tho Secretary of
War has the minute information which the
resolution calls for. It would not be a very
remarkable circumitanco if be bad nut. It was
a little peculiar that this information should
bo called for in the very beginning of this
administration and not in the evoniog light ot
tbe Ulo administration. He was opposed to
the resolution for another reason : he was not
entirely convinced of the wisdom of
giving to the country the intelli
gence which the resolution demands.—
They heard remarks every day showing a de
sign to belittle tho Government, and the peo
ple of the United States. They were told that
tne nation is not equal to this emergency, or
that enterprise; that you abandon ibis position
cr that section; that you have not force enough
to hold it, Ac. As tho Senator from Kentucky
bad said, you •must abandon all the States
which ,bave abjured tbe authority of the na
tion, because you have* not force enough to
maintain your authority there, at.d only
enough to irritate. It soeme to him that tbu
was strong language to bo used by Representa
tives ol the United States, boro or elsewhere
I I would do lor our eoemies to say these things,
but he hardly thought, wiih due respect, that
it was becoming to our friends. We are not
accustomed lo bear it. We have boen in the
habit of bearing that our Government extends
its authority to the utmost limits of tbo coun
try defending itself against any and every na
tionality of the world. This has bsen the
proper American idea. He hoped that in a
very few months it would agaiu be the uni
versal idea. We have now an administration,
with it, ha* beon proclaimed an earm-st desire
and tixed purpose to maintain tho authority of
tbe U. S., not tbo authority of this or that sec
tion, merely by peaceful moans, if poaco
ful meang will suffice. U se«*mcd to him
Mr Howe, that this course of the Senator
Furnish®*! aid to the enemies and not to the
friends of the country, lie would admon
ish Senators that if another resolution is lo
U« thrust upon us, we shall Like especial
care that the future historian shall not be
compelled to record that with the friends
of the l'nited States were found the sem
blance of the cow hoys of the revolution.
His. Mr. Howe s party had done nothing to
create apprehension alludes! to by the
senator from Illinois. They were in no
way resjonsible for it. As to Mr. Douglas’
proposition to Constitution he
objected to it for the admission it contained,
mi ; That the tratermiy can be maintained
only by adjusting certain amendments to
the fundamental law. 'Phis is not the prop
er method of bringing about fraternity, for
it approval by only a portion of the people
of the Union, it would l»e disapproved by
the remainder of them. A Constitution to
be satisfactory, mu*t receive the assent of
the whole country. We have such a Con
stitution now, and why should not the peo
ple continue to be satisfied with that ?
Without concluding his remarks, Mr. Howe j
Adjourned.

JEANIE
On the Southern coast of Scotland, within
a few miles of a thriving town, lived the fam
ily who are the subjects of the following sim
ple tale. Their business, like their neighbors,
was that of fishing, and they depended on
their sales in town for procuring them the
necessaries of life. The family of ** Old Man
sol“ was respected by all who knew them for
their exemplary conduct and constant indus
try, and they were beginning to reap the fruits
of both, in the quiet enjoyment of comfort
and plenty in their humble home
Jeanie, the old man's daughter, was a lovely
girl of seventeen, with curling brown hair,
a laughing blue eyn, skin as white as the foam
of the waves she looked upon, and a heart
warm and trusting as a child’s. Philip, her
only brother, was a stout, hale young plan of
twenty, frank and generous in bis disposition,
but of rather hasty temper. He loved Jeanie
more tenderly than would be expected of one
whose mind could have had but little to soften
or polish it.
The day the tale opens old Alansel and his
son had gone with their night’s fishing to town.
While there, a storm arose, and though ithad
gradually sabsided, yet the flashing lightning
and the gushes of wind, mingled yrith showers
of drenching rain, made it a disagreeable, if
not a dangerous night on the bay.
“Does the storm slack, jeanie; ” said the
aged mother, who sat spinning by the fire, to
her daughter, who was watching the sea, rais
ing and foaming on the beach; “is there any
t-ign of the boat. ”
“ There is something, mother, on the sea,
but whether father’s boat or not i cannot yet
toil ”
“ Look close, my child, between the flashes,
and see if she has the whito board around her
deck.”
“ Yes! mother, yes,” cried Jeanie, “she rides
the water like a gull.”
*• Heaven preserve them;” said the old wo
man, “a sorrowful world would we have,
Jeanie, to struggle through, if this storm car
ried away your father and my only help. 1
say God preserve them; their lives are in His
bands.” The old woman turned to the turf
fire and was silent. A gentle tap was heard at
the window. Jeanie looked round at her
mother, bat she bad not heard it. Something,
however, seemed to agitate the maiden, for
when her mother turned to her to speak, her.
face was flushed and troubled. \
“ What, Jeanie, any thing tho matter? Do'
you see the boat now ?”
“ Yes, mother, they are landing—l can just
tell them by the lightning—they will soon be
home.”
The old woman raised her eyes in thanks,
then turning to her daughter, said, “ Now,
Jeanie, I’ll speak to vou about the young
Squire Seagrove. Ye know well that mild
and polite as he is, ye cannot expect to be his
wife—ye never need, any way—l*d as soon look
far yo to wed the Kiug’s son.”
“ And why so?” answered the blushing girl,
“ he is alone and no one to cross his will ; his
father and mother are dead, and you know,
mother, my father is a decent man, and why,
if he sees fit, may’nt I be mistress of Sea
grove.”
“Jeanie, Jeanie, 1 tell you he has no notion of
marriage—leave an old woman alone to read
young men’s hearts. Liston to my words in
time, simple girl, and look around for one of
your own rank in life.”
“ Mother. 1 will obey you in all things, still
1 think Seagrove is not as bad as ye believe.”
“They are coming, Jeanie, I hear steps;
op*n the door and look out.”
Jeanie opened the door—Seagrove was there
—he had tapped at the wiodow for her to come
out, and had heard the conversation within.
“Jeanio,” said he, “why does your mother
think so badly of me?”
“You have heard her say,” said Jeanie,
**but what dtr you want to ssy to me here,-thi*-
terriblo night. It will displease my mother if
she knows that you are here; let me go in.”
“Not just now, Jeanie, but what a
terrible night on the bay” said he, drawing
her arm id his and leading her away from the
door she had closed behind her. “Are your
fatb*-rand Philip from home yet?”
“They are coming,” said she, “I saw them
on the beach, but, indeed, James, I must go
in, my mother will be uneasy.”
“I came,” continued he, “ to find if they were
safe, 1 was afraid of the storm on the bay.”
“What a storm it was in the water; I saw
the boat struggling and plunging in the waves,
and are, yet the lightning is flashing from the
brokon cl *uds. I'll be aJI wet, if 1 stay out
any longer.”
“ Welt, Jeanie, wait one minute, I’ll tell you
my plan: I’ll carry you off; we’ll be married,
and tb**n we’ll send for the old folks and Philip
to Seagrove. Come, Jeanie, all is ready; here is
the carriago.’Tney were just at its door,though
Jeanio had not perceived it, “Jump in,’’said he,
opening the door, “ ’twill he the prettiest sur
prise in the world; they both think ill of me,
but I'll surprise them.”
“No, no, their conaont would bo better.”
lUOrv bin UlNlt'
“There’s no doubt of this, Jeanie, and if
there is, they'll soon forgive us.”
“But my mother will be uneasy.”
“Only for to-night, Jeanie, and surely you
do not doubt me,” taking her band, and look
ing cloioly imo her anxious and bashful face.
*-No,” said Jeanie, “but—

“But what,timid girl; here we go,” he lifted
her up, jumped in, the door of the coach was
closed with a slap of triumph, and in a few
minutes the carriage was out of sight of Joe
Mansel's dwelling.
“Well, wife” said old Joe, as he entered the
door, “we have had a hard, but a good day’s,
.work. We have had a rough sea and wet
jackets, but our Ash sold well to-day; and I
tell ye, Philip, I thoughtthelandlord’s daugh

“Where have you left Jeanie, husband,”
said she, “ebo went out to see if you were com*

Caihlino prepared their meal, and went out
to seek Jeanie. -‘Husband,” said she, return
ing again, “Jeanie is not about, why on earth
did’rit you bring her in with you ; a braw
night to gad to her neighbors.”
“Why, wile, we did’ntsoe her at all,” said
the father, “and its not Jeanie would go and
gossip at her neighbors; come, son, we’ll look
around for her.”
“ThaivillftuijSeagiove;” said Philip, start
ing up, “lather, that was the sound of carriage
wheels.”
“Then she’s gone forever,” said the father,
“but she may be about the beach—Jeanie is not
deceitful.” He sprang out of the door, the
young man followed, they searched all around,
but in vain ; Jeanie was gone. “Have you
found her,son,” said the mother, scarce oxpect*
ing an answer.
“Mother, the pride of your days is gone;
she will be a shame and a sorrow to ua all;
my sister, my own dear Jeanie!” He sat
down and clasped his hands over his face.
The old woman had not till that mo

morning, his olothes drenched with rain, and
his whole appearance one of the utmost wretch
