We are glad to see our citizens are not entirely heedless as to the education of their children, ns we had apprehended. A grand hall under the patronage of the members of the Bar of Lancaster comes off to-morrow night at Odd Fellow's //.ill. More than once have we been regaled by "f, '"" ^saui, iii.iste tn ihc woe hours of night, by a comp.mr ot amateur musicians, who occasionally serenade the young ladies n our neighborhood. On tlio last occasion, they madh excellent music. The times do not srorn unite so tiirht as i few weeks ago. We are rejoiced t<? hear t so said, and earnestly hope when our Viands are settling old scores, tliey will not brget to visit the L? Iger o.'liee. We are jrateful to those w!io It ive responded to our i ippeal. t I What wf. kef.i? in Laxcavteii.?We are i ertain a good Watchmaker, one who on- ' lei-stands his business, could do a good bus* ness hero. A large amount of jewelry | ould also be sold, i We have thought a drug store would also < ake well. It is true, we can obtain good nedieincs from Mr. Del lay in Camden.? We have ever found his medicines to be of he terij best 'quality, but sometimes a particular medicine, is wanted at a particular ! noment, when if wc had apothecary cstab- ' ishmcnt here, it could be procured without ielay. Prof. Thomas IIollowat.?Prof, /fbllo-vay is tho most extensive advertiser in { the world, //e advertises in 1300 papers , n the United States. It is said that his oading room in London surpisses anything >f tho kind in Europe. It contains papers | Vom nil parts of the world. Wo know | mthing of his medicines, but from the cer* , ? ] ificatcs of those who have had occasion ( to use them, we are lo9 to believe they aro sflicient remedies f'-r tho complaints they j profess to cure. Prof //ollow.ay writes us, ] .uai. m- cxpcnns ?iuu ouu n year lur advertising. We have done business with no >nc that we find more correct and honor- | ible in his dealings than Prof, //olloway,? | We w ait hiin the success which his liberal!- ( ;y deserves. ( What not. 1 Tlie Bible says, there is no peace for the 1 ricked, nnd we may say, there is no peace or editors. So soon ns one paper is prin- ' cd, we must prepare for unother. The na- 1 ure of our business is such, that it requires J junctoality. It is rarely the case that the 1 nechnmst finishes your work at the time 1 >romiacd. He always gives hiniseif n day 1 >r two longer. Suppose w hen a subscri- ^ >er called for his paper on Wednesday, we ' thould make an excuse, snd say it will be 1 eadv for vou to inorrow ! We would lu? I U'cuted of negligence, nnd in a short time 1 would rsaline the consequences. Th-re is no holiday in this businesslike ' i bull, it has no starting or ending point.? ' \nd yet, the generality of persons think it 1 s sn easy business, sad a remunerative one. I Middle sticks, they know nothing about if. iVhers one acts in the capacity of editor i ind publisher, L e. to writo and makeselec- 1 ion for hia paper, and keep his books, col- ' set accounts, nail papers, 4.0., lie is obliged 0 be nt his post at all time*. He cannot bsent himself it day or an hour, for likely 1 that very timo his presence at hhi office lay be needed. In somq^plivces, newspae.-s pay well, ill ?4Vr p!Wcs they do cel. p nr # _ " ** * ' ? T " jUmL, kg WUk/. - * t&kT' r . . iwl ll It requires tl?o utmost attention added to a rigid eeoninv, to make a living by publishing a paper in the country. It is very certain that the attention deserves a greater reronipeose. There is a great deal of trouble and anxiety in this business. One man writes, for instance, that he will not pay for the paper for the last year, because when he subscribed two years ago, lie told you only to send it one year. Why then did he not send it back \\ hen lie did not desire it ? Is it possible for a publisher to recollect what each subscriber sajs? Another says, a friend sent him the paper the first year, he did not order it, and will not pay for the last. Did he not see the receipt in the paper, in which it specified to what time he had paid?? Why did he not after that time, inform the publisher that he desired it no longer??1 Such men will steal. We honestly believe, that men who w ill condescend to such meanness, as to evade the payment of a news paper subscription account, by sueli artifices as these, will steal. Now is ibis not the hcigth of impertinence. We sent a bill to a slow subscriber, w ho was ow ing us for two year's subscription, and instead of remitting us the amount, be requests us to change bis paper to another ollice. Another writ* s us, that he is off for California, and we must call 011 his friends for pay.? Who and w here are his friends ? Such men we are better rid of, they may go to California, or to the devil and we would not cry. But we had no idea of writing about news paper business when we comment cii this article, and yet for the life of us wc nnwn IIUV tl IMH 1'ICftV I" UIIU lilt" |?I IIItern must have copy in the morning. To-day (Snndny) has been n wet. gloom) eohl day. It has rained all day. What a marked difference between conn try and city life ! In the city, night and da) it is all bustle and confusion. In the towr of Lancaster it is as quiet at this moment us a country church yard. We sec hut lit' lie news in the papers. In the Northern cities, the poor r.ic suffering dreadfully, and yet the rase. Ily abolitionists make a hue and cry abount slavery. Where are any oegroep suffering from cold and starvation at thr South ? There arc none, unless it be those who are free. It is a positive truth, that thr free persons of color suffer more in I*nninster than the slaves. It seems impossible Tor tliern to get along. Some are being sold out root and branch, whilst other hire themselves out in order to i et a support. The war still progresses in Europe, it is ill conjecture as to the result. In the Cliris 'iin Sj iriliHt'lisl, published in New York, we t lid the following p/odielion by n medium, which our readers can note if it be verified. The following is but part of the prophecy giien inu small quiet cirele of four person*, hut it is that part which has mostly to do w ith the prediction. Tiie 1'kopu'ecv : by the Syiril Admiral Lord //owe. "The English troops will return in dis rtrexou (fam tlm an<t( i%t tVtif TIim Prnnoli jilso will roiurn to t?kn pirt in nnotlni struggle, which will cause the Emperor to leave his throne, and end his life in an ignominious tl'alh.

A Queen shall trample down hci Empire, and the serfs shall become equal with their masters. Turkey must also feel that she is not to conquer, but take her place with other Nations. Spain will he the hist that will yield her throne. A convulsive movement will lie felt throughout the entire earth.

Then shall rise a new power that shall overrule and bring into subjection tin entire creation. Then shall pence fold hci w ings and rest in love for ever." A. Man of Extraordinary Enterprise Our readers have no doubt hoard of Professor Hollow.ly, for whether we go to the confines of India, the diggins of Australia or California, the wilds of Oregon, the empire of China, or, in fact, to any other pirt uf the world.

Asn proof of the great culebrity of the Professor, wo may add, among other things, that be lias been a great travel r, and last pear visited St. Petersburg, where he had the honor of buing prusonte 1 to th s Kmperor, and obtained permission for tho sale if bis medicines throughout the Russian Umpire. A few months before this lie had audiences of the Queen* cf Sp iin and Portugal, which resulted in royal orders being granted for tho introduction ami sale of his medicines in those two kingdoms. A similar honor was conferred upon him by the King of Naples and the King of Han rliniH. lie lia* been to All the courts of Kurope, obtaining almost every wliero special privileges for the sale of his medicine*. li mint be ndmitted that Holloway is the greatest advertiser that ever lived, and has nsdo by far the largest fortune in that line >f any othur man.?-N.

In their travels thronght the streets, they encounter* j cd a veritable IJiaek Dear, now thu painted , imitation of that animal swinging high up | in the nir an a tavern sign had often afforded them especial pleasure and satisfaction, an a sweet token of their proximity ton favorite haunt where bitters diluted with brandy could be had for a "w ink," but as the spirit 1 of Davy Crockett by no means reigns *u1 promo (though a different spirit often does) in a Philadelphia policeman's breast, the flight of :i verit ible shaggy b vir, wm more thnn they could h-ar with equanimity.? Brnin being ot n sociable disposition rapidly 1 pursued the two legged "star*" of the pore, who are only awake when they smell brandy or scent dinger, and run from the bitter with the same alacrity as they stand up to the former. One of the stars in his desperate haste to get out of harm's way, and no doubt wishing to hare more light on the | subj ct, with moro agility tlian he had ever credit for b.'fore, climbed up a lamp post. Hruin, who no doubt has an idea of apply ing to Mayor Cor rod for a "star" quickly followed, thus reversing the western mode of inanageing such matters, for instead of the policem in "treeing the bear," the bear 'lamp-posted" the policeman, and commenced a vigorous "attack in the rear" which lasted until a particular part of the policeman'# unmentionables gave way. Bruin who was ' no jndgs of cheap e.wimere dropped the picro and mads traeka for the other aide of ' Jordan, leaving the policeman screaming at the top of his voice for hslp. He fired his revolver though the lamp, alarming a maid, j ea 1 dy living near, who rained her window< j 4 * !> and cried "murder !n "murder!" us only an u old maid can scream. This brought up a a reserve of policemen, who were asleep in ii j the vicinity. A search was immediately in- f i stituted for his seurahip, when a huge black ? Tom cat, who had been disturbed by the t uproar, rushed out of an alley throwing the I policemen into a state of cat alepsy.? i " Bang!" "bang !" "bang!" went the revolvers n and away scampered the poor cat unharm- * ed. The vagrant bear was finally captured I and delivered over to his owner, who it appeal's kept him as a pet and playmate for ( his children. After this exhibition of cour- I age and strategic skill, which our policemen I thus earned in the capture of a time American bear, it is clear that if the allies wish to capture Scbastapol, within a reasonable time, and thus tame the Russian Ijpur, they must ^ iiicii wi ?ivvo. I Our volunteer military world lias been in I n tempest of eotnmotion for several weeks | past, about who should be its BrigadierGe.v 1 ' eral. Several months siive the regular j i election was hold nnl resulted in the choice I of Win. F. Smuil, who eon.mailed ueouipa- ' ny in the Mexican war. That election, t however, was set aside by a Court Martial J j summoned to review it on account of some 1 informality, and the decision thus given havI ing been duly confirmed by Gov. Bigler, a ' new election was ordered, in the mean, j time, our new Governor, Mr. Pollock.came into power, and taking a different view of I the case, issued an order, which is generally I interpreted as a recognition of the validity of the first election and consequent right of j the officers origina'ly chosen tocxcriise the | functions of their others. In despite of this j order, however, some of the companies proj cecdcd with an election as though it had ! never been issued and n majority of them I thus voting deel ired in f.wor of John Tyler 'jr., a son of the Hx-Prcsident. Thus we | have "two Riehuionds in the field" and two claimants to the honor id' the Brigadier Generalship of the Philadelphia Volunteers. How the matter will terminate I cannot conjecture. Possibly the belligerents who are both lighting nun will go over to our "field of honor" Fmith's Island lying half way between this city and Camden New Jersey, and toss up whether it shall lie arranged by ordering pistols nnd coffee for two, or in the mora harmless sl| le of an amicable talk over a d> licious cup of the latter beverage accompanied with a line mess of fried catfish. It is hoped that the country will be safe in either event, and our brave volunteers be reconciled to the idea of parading through our streets under either officer, for however much some of them may like a Small or yet as a brick in the lint is supposed to answer pretty much the same purpose, who could be supposed to implant it there more sue- t cessfully than a Tiler) By tlie new railroad arrangements which ! h ve recently been made, we are brought | within hut about forty-eight hours travel of , St. Louis and twenty-four hours journey | from Michigan. This morning fish were , sold in our market which had been caught , in liikv oura-. biff twenty-four hours previously. Venison from the western portions of N'ew York arvJ north-western portions of Pennsylvania is also brought here in large quantities by the same route and , forms a regular article in our market. The nohlu buck or timid doe which one morning is bounding swiftly ami gracefully in his | native forests hundreds of miles from our I City, the next day graces tint table of one , I of our wealthy gourmands. ( A rather remarkable instance of the pre| cocity of Young America was exhibited here the other day. A youth between (if teen and sixteen years of age was arrested i ; for disorderly conduct, in thro wing stones j at pedestrians, becoming very much intoxi I eatod and proving a general pest to the i \ neighborhood in which he resided, and ho Was duly sentenced to the House of Refuge by the Aldermen before w hom the ease w is trh-d. A day or two after a voung girl of about fifteen, made inquiry of the Aldermen concerning his whereabouts, affirming that ; he was her hushanl. Her statement seem- I ed so improbable that it was discredited, when she indignantly pro Inced a m irriuge i j certificate, showing tli it they were wedded i some eight month* since. Our Navy Yard is full of lifjand activity. About 700 workmen are constantly kept , busily employed there. The new steam | frigate Wabnah is being rapidly construe- ' ^ ted in accord nice with all the luteal iui- , provcinents in the art of steamship building, and as the proverbial skill of our mechanics will be developed upon her, I trust i she will prove a noble craft worthy of her great mission of carrying aloft the bright banner of the stars and stripes in triumph. , On Saturday the Udih inst., the population of our Alms House numbered 2643, being 417 more than at the same period last yeur, and forming a body lur^e enough to make up a very respectable sized town. < In addition to this little army of garrisoned ' paupers, 2'Ju'J persons arc receiving out door relief from the guardians of the l'ooi, , and many others are in only dependant for 1 subsistence upon the articles furnished them by our charitable societies, or charitable disposed imiividu ds.
