HARRISBURG, April IL.


Quick WoaK.-A noted countsrfeiter,
who had been once pardo0sd" out of the
rsniteutiary, vas last week detected in
Perry county but the Jail Of that county
being made only for honest persons, it was
deemed unsafe to leave him there, (espc-
sially rs some Of his confsderatss were
proving around, and . watch was set
over him. To-day, Senator Baily offered
= bal! providing for the removal OF persons
from the Perry to the Dauphin County
Jail whenever il was desired by the Judges
Of Perry County, Perry to bear the costs ;
the bill passed both Houses, was signed BY
the Governor, and a certified copy sent up
10 Perry by the II, P. NJ, mail Of to-day.
The rogue will soon be within strong walls.
RAFTING is now n lively business, over
$50 arks and RATS having passed between
iayligh. ard dark, this day. Four arks
and two RATS were dashed against the Up
per Bridge The river has not been high,
but moderate rise, well sustained, has
proved very beneficial. Most Of the crafts,
l believe, were from the North Branch.
ANOTHER VICrIM-I learn that a very
honest and much respected man in Schayl-
kill county, late watchman in the State
Treasury, has become Insane by the "spir-
iaual rappings" delusion. The victim in
sLis town noticed in your last, continues
with bu, little improvement, aud his wid-
cwed mother is almost distracted.-W bile
this spiritual delusion is proved to have
done 50 mach harm, its apo!ogis:s arc chai-
ieuged to show one iiosa q good it has ever
done. A matter productive Of uami1ci
srR, surely should be secuted by every
lover Of his kind as fonl but seductive
ener,y Of mans best temporal and eternal
interests.

BEEcHER's LECTURE on Common Schools
delivered at the Broadway Tabernacle,
New York, is an admirable effort on one
Of the most important aud interesting ques-
tons Of the times-the training Of the
-imerican citizen, ia Common Schools, for
the discharge of duties, by learning him
to restrain the temper, moderate the pas
sious, and cultivate habits Of reading and
reflection; so as to obey the laws as well
as to make the.n-and to abstain from an.
archy, wrong, riot and outrage. Few lee
lures of the day contain so large an amount
of vigorous thought, and so immense a
