usual ceremonies in the Catholic and Epis

'III li`r the Mosaic law. the Jews eelebra
-1,1 the Passover on the 14th day of the
, unutll A bib, , /r Nisan, that is a (lay or two
before or after the vernal equinox. The
-arty Christians differed as to the proper
time for eclebrating the festival and the
dispute grew very serious, each party
maitimining their respective customs, un
til the question was finally settled by adopt
ing the role by which Easter falls on the
first Sunday after the full moon which
happens upon or next after March 21st. or
if the full moon'happen on a Sunday, Eas
ter day is the HVX:r Sunday. Thus Easter
111 ayoevur as early as March 2.2 d Or as late
as April 2.7,th. This year we have it on
the latest Sunday it could have fallen.
Easter, which has been termed the
Queen of Festivals, has been observed
from the very beginning and is celebrated
with great devotion and solemnity in ev
ery part of the Christian world. Early on
Easter morning the primitive Christians
saluted each other with: "Christ is risen,"
which was responded to by: "Christ is
risen iudeed and bath appeared to Simon."
This custom is still retained by the Greek
Church. In nearly all Christian countries
the recurrence of Easter is celebrated by
various palmier sports and . ceremonies,
not unfreequently accompanied by odd
superstitions. The most common is the
English custom (of doubtful origin) of
making presents of colored pasehe or paste
eggs, which is very ancient. In a royal
of the time of Edward I, preserved in
the tower an entry appears of 18d for 400
eggs to he used for this purpose. The eggs
were often elaborately ornamented, and
the children used them in a sort of game
which consists in testing the strength of
the egg shells. This practice is still re
tained in parts of England and also in our
own country, though oar shrewd boys
sometimes use painted glass eggs and, by
their superior-hardness, point- out of the
contest with pockets heavily laden with
',t b° eggs.
In some parts of Ireland a legend is cur
rent that the sun dances in the sky on Ens
ter morning. The superstition once pre
vailed in England and was scarcely eradi
cated by Sir Thotnas Browne, Wim, in his
"Inquiries into Vulgar Errors — declared
the superstition untbmuled.
The game of ball was a favorite Easter
sport and municipal corporations engaged
in it with great parade and much dig - nity;
at Bury Si. Edmonds, not many years ago,
twelve old worn en kept up the game. with
great spit it, for some time. In the north
ern counties elEngland the men, on Eas
ter Sunday, claim the privilege of lifting
-very woman from the ground three times,
receiving in payment a kiss or a silver six
.,rlCi!: Easter Mondav thefemales have
the saute privilege. In Oxfordshire, after
'vetting s - krviee on Easter, it was custom
try. within firty rears. for 1111,11 and women
if throw groatquatoities of apples into the
'lurch yard, married itt. the 1 ; ,,t
.aster throwing in three times as many as
he rest: after this all went to the house of:
heir pastor and regaled themselves
tread, cheese anti ale. In Franco thedews
two stoned at Easter and once, when Ai
nerie, Viscount de -llocheehonard, visited
Toulouse at that season. the ehapter of St.
aiuucdirceted his chaplain Hti,gues to beat
:Jew in his honor• a trust so faithfully ex
ented that the victim expired on the spot.
'he English boys made a practice of run•
ring abont on Easter morning, crying
'Christ is risen; Christ is risen; all the
ews must go to prison... The English
.Ise made it a point. to show their abhor
ence of the Jews. to eat bacon and pork,
lit with it tansy pudding, a relic of the
-fitter herbs of' the Passover.
With increasing intelligence these ens
7ens have passed into disuse-and Easter is

The Viewers appointed in the matter of
:e widening of Virgin Alley filed their
.port in the District Court yesterday, in
ceordanee with the act of assembly. They
.poid adversely to the proposed improve

eeessary for the public convenience. The

The Board of Viewers was composed of

hey have carefully investigated the whole
atter, and their judgment is entitled to
le highest consideration. They found
,e expense which the widening of Virgin
hey would necessarily entail upon the
roperty holders, would foot up an aggro

Eictitement at, Altoona.
On Monday last a man named Spriggs
!ached Altoona iu pursuit of five contra
in ds from Maryland, whom' he charged
ith horse stealing. He arrested•two, a
an and woman, but the rest escaped and
ere pursued some distance by a party of
en, who did not. succeed in recapturing
.ere. One of the two arrested proved to
a free man, but he was sent to Holli
lysburg with the woman and placed in '
il. Some alleged that Spriggs had no
arrant, others that he should have his
ayes, and the excitement ran high for
time. The parties arrested were subse
iently taken before Judge - Mores, on a
ibeas corpus, and discharged, the Court
Ading that the evidence was not sufficient
justify their detention. A number of
arsons, armed with knives and pistols,
,sembled around the jail when the prison
.s were liberated, and for a time a riot
Is apprehended. They were got away
iietly, however, and the crowd soon af
r separated.
Railroad Items.
A meeting was held at New Castle the
her day to take measures for securing
:bstriptions to the stock of the'New
astle and Beaver Valley Railroad. In
der to give those who may be- appre
•usive. that any money they might sub
ribe would be squandered without ac
enplishing the object, an opportunity of
ding the enterprise, without incurring
dc, it wag resolved that the directors be
structed to take subscriptions, payable
le half when the - road is graded, and the
dance when the first car runs over the
ad. A good deal of stock has already
Jen taken, and the road will, in all prob-
Jility, he built as conteinplated. Three
mired thatisand dollars stock of the At

• Among the latter class we may enumer
ate Mr. Wtlliam Fleming, who has for
some years been engaged it the hat and
cap business at the corner of Wood and
Sixth streets. Finding his trade increas
ing beyond the capacity of his old store he
took the warehouse vacated by the Lucesco
Oil Co.. No. 139 Wood street, below Vir
gin alley. A force of workmen was im
mediately employed and in a few days
they have completely transformed the in
terior, while the outside has also been re
painted and made to appear fresh and
clean. The immense plate glass windows
show oaf the splendid store room, eighty
feet deep, to great advantage, while the
pure white of the show cases on either side
and the handsome tables running up the
middle of the room give it an appearance
equal to any similar establishment in the 1
city and forcibly remind one of the fash
ionable establishments in the East, which
it billy equals in variety.
Mr. Fleming is a practical hatter and,
from long experience, fully conversant
with the details of his business. He has
laid in a large and well selected stock of
hats, caps, and straw goods. for men's,
boys' and children's wear, embracing every
quality and style. While he can furnish a
lute fashionable hat of unexcelled quality,
at a low price, he is also prepared to sell
cheaper styles on advantageous terms,
wholesale or retail, a room on the second
floor having been fitted, up for the first
named branch. In short, all can be suited
here in style and price. The house liar
always enjoyed a high reputation and,
with increased facilities, Mr. Fleming will
fully sustain it by selling good goods at
hair prices.
His opening takes place to-day. when
we recommend all desiring to see the

T Can Consumption be Cured.
IThis is one of the most momentuous
questions of the day and, by most persons
not easily answered. Every invalid is
more or less interested in its.solution and
to that end we advise a perusal of Dr. Rob
ert Iluntcr's letter on consumption, which
we publish elsewhere. We have read all
the letters which have emanated from him
very attentively and have found in them
much that was novel in relative to Intl
monary diseases. Being full• impressed
with the force of many of his propositions
and the rationality of his treatment we
deem it our duty to direct attention to the
subject. If only the remotest probability
of relief to suffering humanity presented
itself or the progress of these insidious
diseases could be but temporarily checked,
Dr. IL should be considered a public ben
eflictor, but when a reasonable hope of,
cure offers it is the duty of the afflicted for
their friends) to consult him and see what
can be done. Read the letter carefully.
Senorita Isabel Cubas.
This talented danseuse, who makes her
first appearance here on Monday next at
the Theatre, is highly spoken of by the Eas ,
tern press. As a specimen we give the fol
lowing from the Boston Even i ng Gazette:
The Spanish ballarina, Senorta Cubas,
has youth and beauty, flexibility of muscle,
and is a well , trained danseuse. Moreover
she has grace as well as muscular power.
The applause so freely lavished upon her
she was well entitled to. She is full of
fire, passion, abandon, energy, and
illus
trate; most admirably a terpsichorean
school to which an American audience is
but little accustomed. 'She has made a
genuine, unequivocal hit in this city, and

The Oldest in America.
We have received a copy of the " New

newspaper in America, and is probably en
titled to that distinction, the first number
having been issued 'Oct. 7th, 1766. It is
now in its 106th year and is still vigorous
and healthful in appearance, exhibiting
none of the usual signs of old age. Long

Milted the opinion, general in my prides
soon and almost universal among the peo

enumeration of the different remedies
which have been most effectual in palliat

believing as I 110, t hal 1.011:4111111,6011 is

with accuracy what I moan by the term
consumption.
The term - Consumption - was originally
applied to many diseases situated in differ
curt organs, and having no symptoms in •
common, except the wasting or emacia
tion of the body. They were called t o n
sumptions because the, body I,l,ll.stfille•l

confusion among writers , and it was bound

sumption meant by prefixing the nano; of
the affect ed organ.
Latennee. tile great discoverer of the
Stet hescope, in the enurse aids extensive I I
researches into the pathology of the lungs,
found that small granular bodies always
exist in the lungs iii genuine consumption.
The bodies are called lubereics; and since
the time of Latainec, the term consump-;
tion ha; been restricted. and understood
to apply to a disease of the lungs charac
terized by their presence. When, there
fore, I speak of consumption I mean nut
only a disease of tin; lungs. lint lulocreu/ar

be understood; for the changes which'
these tubercles undergo produce the dn•
