The Liedertafel Society will as sist on two of the evenings, and 3lehl's Band will be in attendance during all the enter tainments.

In helping the Observer they aid the cause it advocates, and - we hope their zeal and faithfulness will "some day receive its Ins; reward. 44 High Tone.'• -The Republican cites a few expressions Ifront the Observer which it dOes not approve, and , relerring to them, adds, "If that is the l',High Tone to which we are expected to as ripire, and the reward of reaching a hick is to be the approval of the Observer, we despair • of accomplishing the ascent or, obtaining the • rew,ird.: In Met, we shall not make the at ' tempi" We think if our cotemporary has not already made "the attempt," it has come near enough to it to prove that it need not "despair of accompli,hing the ascent," when it thirly tries. The Mowing passages front its i , .ne of the 2211 may convince the public Mat it t, an easy matter for some persons to "Arain at a gnat and :..wallow a camel :" ll the Observer . ..lfroth and fury of strong words ", walls which any decent man ought to he ashathed to put in print, and of u•hirh we have no donht that the editor, is •note ashamed ; all this froth and fury of words • are Fort froth and fury." . • "They are'not argument, they arc not sense, they are not even second-rate political abuse —are merely a kind of eeho of "Brick" Pont erny's billingsgate," - Such ,tuir tnal• be read at country grog gerie•s and other low places, and he received With oaths and loud snorts of approval and may gain the Ilbce•rver some .übscribers among the 'lewd fellows of the baser sort t' lint that he will convert any intelligent per ,on to the Democratic party by such vile and libellous language, of -court:e the editor does not expect." In view of the above, does not the eon eluding portion. of tlw Republican's article read like ~ elf•intlicte'd sarca‘m -We have no reply to make to such lan gnaqe—vertainly we ;hall not retort in_kincl."

We hear of no disposition on the part of our friends to make a party and have no idea that it will he attempted. For Justice of the- Peace in the East Ward, to fill the place ,of .

George Hill:Will be a candidate for re-elec tion as Constable. The severest fight will take place upon Councilmen, in which the issue will mainly be between those who sus tain the present body, and the enemies of their policy. We understand that several of the present' Councilmen will be applicantS for re-election, and the names of a Ithst of others are mentioned, but none have been tiredly decided upon. By the Ist of Much, the local contest will be in full blast, and tbe „ , (”„ it „ em), candidate. will have their merits and demerits dismissed tin the usual ME= IGovernment Vessels in Erie Harbor. On Wednesday last weTaid a visit to the overnment vessels in winter quarters in-ottr harbor, and were astonished at the complete ness of their appointments for the naval and revenue service for which they are designed. Through the courtesy of . Acting Master W. G. Morris, we were per to make a careful inspection of the Steamer 3liebizaa and note the prominent points of interest that were presented- And first and fore most the general neatness and order every where manitiNt good evidence of the correct discipline enjoined by the lafficers, and the cheerful, olwilienee and good belrivior of the men. •tier armament consists at present of six brass 51 pounders, in broadside, and two boat howitzers, with a full supply of boarding pikes and small arms of various descriptions. The engine room, however, shows us in a small compass the greatest wonders . ; and. in exploring the interior arrangement of this great leviathan, this department may he compared.to the vital organsenclosed in the cavities Of an animal body. The boilers, two in number, each nine feet wide,mine feet high, and fifteen feet nine inches long, form the right and left heart; the enormous steam pipe seventeen and one-fourth inches in diameter in the bore, extending to the T branch, which divides it and supplies the two engines, correspond to the general artery and Its branches ; and thu iron floor and casing, to the "heart/case." The two engines, with a stroke of eight feet, and thirty-six inch piston, to the power generating and distribu ting right and 101 hemispheres or the' brain, acid-tire piston 'and other rods to the nerves whielmlistribute that power 6) • the motive niuseles or wheels ; while the air pumps to opprate the condenser, act as the lungs.

K. Our Neighboring Congressional District: _ A correspondent of the Pittsburgh Post calls attention to the manner in which -the Radical leaders have humbugged the masses of their party in the Crawford, Venango, Clarion. and Mercer district. That district, by the intrigues of the politicians, has virtu--I ally been without 41 representative in Con .gress for the last five years. "Looking back, over the specimens that have been sent, we call to inemory one Anios Myers, of Clarion, • who was elected in 180. This• Representa tive, by the of Providence; was 'hard of bearing; and by the' same was not furnished with a' surpl6s of brains; but with all these defects, Amos- was generally in his seat while Congress was in session, though of little Consequence to his constituents. In 18d-t Amos was again presented by the Rad icals of Clarion county, hut the conferees of that convention resolved to try something new. Amos had no show fur nomination. It ' was 1% ell known by the conferees that none of the candidates before that convention were popular; neither could they be elected if nominated, as the kreater portion of their own party were opposed to them. These confert;es, unlike those of 1&66, could not be bribed—but to keep up appearances, they balloted seven days' and nights, with Out I making a nomination. The •elbetion began to draw near—something must be done. One of the conferees proposed a new man ; Ibut still 'no-go,'' He proposed anoth , :r, and another. until at last wets mentioned the name of one,.-Charles Vernon Culver, late of Logan. Ohio.--a banker and broker, and, as they sUppesed at that time,of great wealth and I ability. He was ominated by. acclamation. The. 'nigger worshippen,' all rallied around I him, except the broken-hearted and disap pointed candidate from Vcnango; but the pr - cssure was so strong that he partly 'gave amyl pretended to keep up appearances :01 , 1 his party standing. The banker was eleetisl, and the Radicals did not hesitate to say that 'he woulil soon climb the hill of Cline,' and ere long occupy the place of some of the most prominent men in Washington. But though it caused a vacant • seat* in Con gress, and the interests of the people to suf fer, he was busy starting national and priVatc, banks, and arranging with many of his Rad• ical friends for their Government bonds, lay ing out towns and railroads, getting private loans from his dear friends,'and a few thou sand from the churches and colleges as well as from men wlin•werc called to preach to the poor. He did not appear to miss any of his friends who voted the 'nigger' ticket. It has brought great calamity on the whole commu nity. In 1866 he wax not a candidate for re nomination, as his predecessor was, but gave room fora new man. The conferees met. Three of the old candidate, were on the track again. After several days_ balloting thee 'pow er' that brings all corrupt men, nominated Darwin A. Finney, of Crawford, now in one of the old Kingdoms. But they said 'be was all right'—had the goo in one foot, but no matter; be and 'Andy' would represent the ' district, and draw the live thousand and mile age. But poor Finney was drawn so hard with the gout that he is now in Switzerland, and the 20th District has no representative. Will the masses, even of the Badfcal party, stand this kind of humbuggery :my longer ? I do not blame the entire party, but those who control it niust, by this time, feel guilty of a great-wrong being perpetrated on dot tax i payers,. " Tut,: amount Of money stolen from Jolin ' Benninghoff is even larger than at first re ported. Xn affidavit made by his son fixes the amount at two hundred and sixty thou sand dollars, of which about sixty thousand were in U. S. bends, and the balance in trea sury notes and greenbacks. - The Titusville Herald states that "a guard is now stationed in the house, night and day, notwithstanding it is asserted that the deposits have been re moved &in the other safe. Mr. Benninghoff Senior, is slowly recovering from the effects of _the outrageous assault. His face is severe- - .ly bruised and discolored from the blows re ceived, and his body still sore from the mer ciless punches and mauls. He informed Our friend that a desperate attempt was made ter . rob him several months ago. Three stran ger; stopped at the house about dark to ob tain matches, and afterwards asked for milk and whiskey. 'Tli‘e latter was refused, and they relnettintlyent away without obtain ing adnth-sion to the house. About midnight the inmates were alarmed lir :in attempt to force open a window from the outside. The Berninghoff's were on the alert and dis eharged a rifle and revolver at the burglars. Several shots were returned, and then the marauders retreated. We would state iu this connection us a Warning to these Oil Creek burglars ; that the Benninghoff mansion Is effectually defended, and any future assaults will provoke a desperate.resistance." The people of the oil region do not appear to sympathize very strongly with the Benning holt flintily in their less: Most of the papers speak of his misforttote in a sarcastic vein, and while they condemn the robtiery it is plain that their feelings are not much wor ried on tht subject. The Pithole Record EZZI "We do nat, of course, justify burglary or robbery. butlwe haVe nosympailty for Ben ninghoff. The witless Johriny'gteele, - with all his reckless, extravagant, foolish and cor rupt ways did more real good for the com munity-than many like John Benninghoff. A miser is infinitely worse than a spendthrift, for while the latter may injure himself, he benefits the community by circulating his cash. Such men are an injury td the human race, and are little_ if any better than the burglars who would rob them." Court Proceedings. The'regular January term of the Court of ,Common Pleas began on Monday afternoon last-, Jude Vincent presiding. The case of most public interest, that of Clark & Met calf vs. John W. Douglass,Collector of Ititer nal Revenue, was postponed until the next term. It will be recollected that when Mr. Degmier was detected in his alleged pecula tions, he gave Mr. Douglass a judgment on his residence in this city, through which the property 'gen into the latter gentleman's hands. Degmier was owing the plaintiff's at the sante time, and the snit is to recover from Mr. Douglass the amount of their claim, it being contended that he is not lawfully en titled to the while value of Degmicr's resi dence.

UNIO3 MILLS, Jan. 27, 1868 Thai Ton Onsituvr-g—ln your issue of Jan uary 9th, we noticed an item referring to a joke played upon I one of our Democratic friends here, as given by a correspondent of the Corry RepublictM,writing from this place. We admit that the ioke was a good one, but the writer failetl to Tice both sides of the sto ry. The-facts are these: Our Republican changed the headings of the two papers for the sole purpose of securing a copy of the Observer for himself, which he actually car ried in his pocket ffra week, under the head ing of the Erie Daily Republican. Not long since a 'Club was Pinned here for the N. Y. World, the magnitude of which we will state as given by the• Post Master, ad in terim.. The morning the first package came for the club, the Post Master (an extreme Radical) after distributing the' mail, rushed out of the office, loOking very pale: Meeting another Rad at the kloot he exclaimed: "My What is up there xvrts.more than five thousand N. Y. Worlds came into the office this morning." The shock was a hard one, but at hit accounts he was doing well. By the way, our Republican friends about here are getting very obliging of late. Should a Democrat fltil'to get in the office ,within ten minutes'after the mail is tfistribit tett; his paper is taken out by a Republican neighbor, who reads it and hands it to the owner the first time they meet. The other day a Democratic friend Went to the office for his mail Seeing no one in attendance, he knocked at the 'tleliver!,-" with his cane, but no one appear Mi. He knocked several times, but no sortmlcame from within. Think ing to learn what was the matter, he stepped to the door(standibg ajar) lending to the dis tributing department, and there beheld the- Post Master, his clerk, and six or seven of the leading Republicans of the town, all seated around the stove, each one with a Copy of the LaCrosse Democrat, and it was with difficul ty • that he could get their attention longi enough to get his Paper, which one of the party happened to be reading—fly mistake. Re, however, succeeded in getting MS mail. and left the office, using language that would have sounded more graceful had it been ar ranged a little different. 'More anon. I • ' G. 0. Foam . . ' Trln Gazette, in lone of those whiffety arti cles which are peculiar to its columns, says of the editor of this paper : "In his issue of the 18tli ult., lit , " charged the Republican -business men, of Eric with being influenced by political prejudice in re fusing to patronize the - Observer.' Now, nnfortnnately for the Gazette's vent- ! city, we'eharged nothing of. the.sort. What I we did say was this— " Perhaps some people who refuse to ad- • vertise in the Observer on account of its pol- litics, may open their eyes one of these days to the fact that they are a little like the man who cut off his nose to spite his face. A shrewd business man will ever be prompt to avail himself of the most largely- circulated papers to spread What he wishes before the public, regardless of whether they are Dem ocratic or Republican, Methotlict or Catholic, .lew or Gentile." l 1 • The Public will.perceive that we had ref erence only to tluit class of persons who al low their Polities 'to run away with their brains. We hard no complaint to make of our Republican lthsiness men generally, who, knowing the Observer to be the best adver tising medium in I the' county, have in many cases availed themselves of its advantages, and, we have reaSlon to believe, received a satisfactory return for the investment, It is [to the credit of all classes in our city that they permit partisan influences to affect them . very slightly in business dealings, and the mass of both parties will heartily endorse our original remarks on the subject. The petty and contemptible attempt of our cotemporary'to stir up 'political prejudice, in the hope of benefiting its interests, will de ceive no sensible person. We should not be surprised if it yet proved a boomerang to the one who resorted to it. • Tun following gentlemen were elected of nem of the Erie County Agricultural Stick ty, on_Wednesday afternoon, to serve for the ensuing year: President, Henry Gingrich Vice Prrsi , dent.

Those journals that print theni now do it gratui tously, and the fact of their appearance. is no criterion of circulation. ' ' Oyu city physicians agree that the last year was the healthiest within their remem brance. No epidemics, no contagious "dis eases, not even the average 'number of sea sonable complaints. Most' people are too poor to afford the luxury of sickness. - Tat: spotting portion of the community has been much interested during the week over Weston, the pedestrian, who appeared in Farrar Hall, on Tuesday,and has remained . to repeat the exbibitiOn on Friday evening. We did not attend on Tuesday, but under stand ,that his audience were better pleased than they expected. A PARTY of young ladies in North East, taking advantage or Leap Year, gave their friends of the opposite sex a sleigh-ride to Quinces• and back, last week. They com plain of the landlord at Quincey for charging them too high, from which we infer that playing the gallant is a more costly business than they imagined. TUE story is going the rounds of the pa pers that one of the mein who robbed old Ben ninghotr, after fillinghis pockets with green backs, stepped to the bed where that miserly individual was secured, and whispered con solation in his ear by saying: " ou'll never spend the money yourself, old chap so we're goilg , to spend it for you.' TILE "Republican" some time ago charae terized the proposition to pay off the public debt in greenbacks ItS "repudiation."

Whether the other gentlemen will again be candidates we are not informed. • Sow: sensible editor,•who has probably had an experience Of the sort he describes, gives the following suggestions on a subject that concerns a large portion of the commu nity: "Suppose a man occupies a house worth three thousand dollars, and pays •a rent of four hundred- dollars per annum, payable quarterly. He will, in seyen years, have paid two thousand eight hundred dollars, and. lost the-interest on the payments of' the rent he has made within this time, amounting to Ste hundred and. sixty-seven - dollars. He has consumed, three thousand three hundred and sixtv- , even dollars, and has nothing to show for it save the receipts of his landlord. How much better would it be to buy a lot on sev en year's time, and put up a house, which would at the end of that time he paid for, -without anY trouble. A house and lot is al so the best savings bank a man can have." A PLEAsmo June, 1867. Mrs. Isabel Monell, of Bath, N.
